STAGE IS SET FOR
 COMING PRIMARY
Ballot Boxes for 108 Polling Places Being Placed
 for Election

With the preparation of ballot boxes to be distributed to the 1S2 polling places and the filing of cam paign expenses widespread interest is being brought to focus on the primary next Tuesday when voters will be called upon to express their preference between 1S3 candidates. A comparison of figures reveals that there is one candidate for each poll ing place with one left over.
 Members of the election commits sion with a number of clerks began yesterday the arduous task of fill ing the ballot boxes with blank bal lots and other paraphanelia to be distributed in the next few days to each of the precincts in the coun- ty. Twice as many ballots are pro- vided for each polling place as there are qualified voters.
 Candidates are on the home-run stretch. Most of them today will be in Bessemer, where the good roads celebration will be held. Pienfcs, outings and barbecues have been plentiful and wherever held the candidates have been on hand. How ever. such gatherings have their disadvantages so far as the can didates personally are concerned, be- cause they are often called on to make donations to this or that cause.
 Campaign expenses as filed n the office of Probate Judge J. P. Stiles reveals that running for office is rather expensive job. An examtna- tion of the expenditures reveals that as high as s1,600 has been spent in county ampaigns~with the aver age probably running as high as S100. Most of the expensives have been for advertising. Candidates have place their ads" in all ,,inds of publications. including various kinds of programs, fraternal and labor bulletins and even religious calendars.
 Voters are being urged first to find out definitely where they vote, as some of the precincts have been rearranged Next. they are advised to study the records of the can didates and if possible get sample ballots and go over the list of ap plfcants With 1s3 candidates to be chosen between, 1t Is hoped that the voter will show as much facility as possible at the polls in order that there may be no unfiecessary delay.
 With a ballot three and half feet long and a second choice -otes to be counted as well as first choice. officials are wondering how many hours will be required to count the votes for. each candidate. Inspectors and clerks at the polls are expect ing the job to take half ef the night.
 Tn regard to particular campaigns those who claim to be in close touch with the situation. profess that there has been important shifts in public opinion since interest has been aroused in some of the of fees The solicitors race seems to be exciting the most attention with claims being made that the primary will show a close race between the three candidates. The contest for sheriff is probably the next Tn popu- lar interest.

M'DUFF BELIEVES POLICE STRENGTH
 IS NOT ADEQUATE.
Declares With Budget Appro. priation Increased Police 4 Force Would Be
 Augmented

Additional men to each depart ment of the police force II be added in the event that the city commission agrees to increase the budget of the depar& &nent on Octo- Der i, which will even up the situa- ton all the way round. Chief Fred H. McDuff stated that he is con- fident of success in the new ven ture and is looking forward to the time when Birmingham should have a police force capable of giving adequate protection.
 The plan as devised by the chief of the department Is to add 10 detec- tives to the present roster, two of which will be assigned to the Ensley precinct station; 24 traffic men, who will be used at various points in the downtown district; 10 motor scouts; 30 bicycle scouts and 24 mounted men on horses.
 By this plan Chief McDuff points out that the suburbs will be given adequate protection in the men rid- ing bicycles and on horse back, both having proved indispensable to thoroughly efficient police or ganisations. He declared that the additional 24 traffic men to govern the daily heavy flow of traffic would prove sufficient numbers with the present force and with the aid of the additional motor scouts.
 In commenting on the etective force being augmented, Chief Mc- Duff declared that this was one of the most needful moves that could be possibly made, as the present men. while doing a great wor' i, are over worked and have not suffi- cent numbers to cope with the daily surge of criminals who are in transient through Birmingham.
 Assistant Chief Thomas Christian views the proposition with great favor. declaring that this is what the force has been needing for years.

Middleton Maintains
 Discipline in Ranks By
 Firing Militant Author

S c. Grove. former city fire man, and up until yesterday a staunch supporter and admirer of Commissioner W. B. Cloe, who was fired by Chief $. A. Middleton be- cause of his seathing deunnciation of the veteran head of the depart ment, continued his headquarters at the Fifteenth street station last night, although his discharge from the service was effected at o'clock yesterday morning.
 Grove gained considerable noto- riety for himself when he published a venomous attack against his chief in which he pictured him in eolors many shades lighter than the dis ciplairian the chief proved himself when he summarily dismissed Crowe from the service.
 When the fire department wrangle began last week information gleaned from what was believed authentic sources. predicted the early retire. ment of Chief Middleton in f-vor of Grove, who. it was learned, was active in preparing for the head of the public safety department cer- tain information to encouragement of the personnel, which included eulling the membership of approxi- mately 49 names from the strength of the present organization. Com missioner Gloe denies that there has been any such list prepared, but there appears to be substantial basis for the belief that a black list really exists.
 Attacked Middleton
 In his statement through the press, not only the department came IA for considerable blow aPAinst efficiency, but Grove bitterly ar raigned Chief Middleton and his letter was widely read. considering the interest citizens manifested in it as a topic for discussion.
 This letter, although bearing the signature of Grove himself and brought by him to The Age Herald, was prepared following confer

 Chief Middleton held several con ferences with Commissioner ". B. Cloe Wednesday. and his decision to fire Grove. followed. 1t Is said. the official indersement of the public safety head. although no statement to this effect was forthcoming. E The only statement following the conference that was made for the press was q statement of denial by Commissioner Cloe of certain state ments he made at the commission meeting of Tuesday when he made reference to his predecessor, which was over his signature. However, a rumor at the city hall last night brought the confidential assurance that Grove had been fired, the off eiai could not be quoted and Com missioner Cloe could not be reached to substantlate what had happened.
 Chief Middleton reliably informed The Age Herald yesterday that he fired Grove following conference with Commissioner Cloe the preced- ing afternoon in which the commits sioner consented to his action con- templated, although he said the com- missioner did not outline to him what disciplinary measures should be taken.

Is MADE ON
SCHOOL DISTRICTS

Bismarck,sN N. D.. July 10-An incor-
porated city, is a school district in
itself, the supreme court Of North Da-
kota holds, and when it legally ex-
tends its lines the added property
becomes a part of the school district.
The decision is handed down in a
case brought by the Harrison School
District No. 2 against the City of
Minot. The case grew out of the alb
sorption by the city of Minot of what
had been known as North Minot, most
of this territory being within the ter
ritory of the complaining school dis
trict. The city tried to extend its
school district to take in this added
territory and the school district
sought restraint at the hands of the
law.
When an incorporated city alone
is organized as a special school dis
trict," says the decision of the court.
"the boundaries Of the special school
district constantly remain the same
as the boundaries of the city and in
no event can the territory embraced
within the special school district be
less than the territory within the cor
porate limits of the city" The court
then follows with its decision that If
the limits of the school district are
extended the limits Of the school dis
trict follows.
