BEA U7TFUL SUNDAY WEATT1ER
 TAKES THOUSANDS TO COUNTRY.

The temperature in Birming- ham jumped from s9 in the early morning to 75 in the afternoon, s rise of s6 degrees, which is going some" for mercury evsn in Birmingham.
 The result was that during the afternoon everybody thought summer had come and hurried outdoors-to the parks, to the woods, to the rivers, to the high ways-anywhere to set the full benefit of real summer weather.
 Automobiles were out by the thousands, every highway leading to and from the city having continuous procession of cars. But there were other thousands who had just as much fun roam ing through the woods on foot and others who took their out ing in the eity's parks.
 During the morning the beau tiful sunshine brought people to the churches in unusual num- hers, then as the afternoon wore on they scattered in every diPec- tion, hundreds making the trip even to the Warrior river and Lake Bankhsad.
 The thing that made yesterday so attractive was the fact that the first of Alabama's spring wildfiowers were in abundant ev- idence and the woods were abfoom in every direction. The mountains were covered with great white dogwood blossoms. In the lowlands and along the water courses the wild honey suckls was a riot of pink while in the woods themselves the more modest blossoms. rooster head violets. forget-me-nots, star of Bethlehem and their com panions added their note to the color harmony of perfect spring day.
 There are so many attractive routes for a Sunday stroll &C., cessible to the car lines about Birmingham that it is difficult to pick the favorite. It is impos- sible any more, however. to find [ secluded walks. All the we'll known paths are used constant ly and were especially well populated yesterday. Perhaps the favorite of all for those on the southside are the different paths which lead to Red Mountain park, the waterfall and the rock house. Other favorites are fur ther west along the mountain, several of which lead into the att tractive coves which break the symmetry of the north side of Red Mountain. Still other fav- orite places are out in the Five Mile creek section, north of the city, but to those who have no automobile these are accessible only by the Tarrant City lines and the jitneys which run out the Pinson highway.
 The Edgewood line to the south, however, makes great stretch of woodland country available to the stroller, many of the paths extending even far up the slopes of Shades mountain.

George T. Hornsby, Convicted Murder Charge, Is Cleared by Confession of Alleged Accompce Local Policeman Makes Untiring Fight
 to Save Life of Brother

Friends of George F. Hornsby, +0SS Fourth avenue. north, were highly elated yesterday upon receipt of ad- vices from Belton, Tex, that the local man. who Is sentenced to hang on April 14, charged with the murder of a prominent Texas man, is complete ly exonerated in . confession of an alleged accomplice who is said to have named the man who actually committed the deed for which Horns by was sentenced to forfeit his life.
 Hornsby. who is we'll known in Blr- mingham, and has many friends here. was arrested at his home on Fourth avenue in December of 1920 and sx- tradicted to Texas to answer the charge upon statement of one Willie Carter. who was also held as an ae- complies to the murder.
 Although Hornsby protested his in- nocence and fought extradition at the tims, haheas corpus proceedings filed before the circuit court here failed to release him, because of the admission that he had been in Texas on previous occasions. Charles A. Hornshy, Birmingham police officer and brother of the condemned man, has made strenuous fight for his brother. declaring that he was inno- cent of the charge against him, and vas last month granted a leave of ao- scnes to combat the charge.
 Armed With AffIdavfts

AUBURN CAMPAIGN. IN EARNEST. WITH TODAY'S SPLANS.
Local, Teams Will Start Early and Rapid Progress To- ward the Goal Is
 Expected


 The campaign to raise Birming- hams quota of ssoO,Ooo in the Greater Auburn campaign will begin in ear nest this morning when all teams are expected to begin the canvass.
 Encouraged by the success of the preliminary canvass of some of the workers Friday and Saturday morn- ing, it Is anticipated that rapid prog ress will be made in the work. A partial report of the teams which worked Friday showed practically s30,000 subscribed and this will be greatly increased when the result of the subscriptions received Satur~ day is added to the Friday report.
 A number of teams of business men will take the field today and some large subscriptions from leading firms and corporations are assured within the next day or two. Several have already notified the campaign committee that they would make sub- stantial contributions.
 All Can Aid
 The surprising feature of the can. vass Friday and Saturday morning was the large number of subscrip- tions made by men and women of small means. The fact that payments may be made in installmenta over period of three years has enabled many salaried men to subscribe sub stantial amounts in the campaign for Auburn.
 The reports made by the members of teams eanvassing Saturday showed that the people solicited were greatly interested in the campaign and a sur prisingly large percentage of those solicited made subscriptions. Confi~ a lea h@ of the campaign and members of the committee were certain $300,000 of the s1.000.o00 desired would be se- cured in Birmingham.
 The success of the campaign in Montgomery, Huntsville, Anniston and other cities has enthused the Auburn men over the state and the result of the preliminary canvass in Birmingham has convinced the com mittees that when all tho counties complete their canvass the goal of s1 1o0O0o0 for buildings and equip ment at Auburn will be realized.
 Teams in Field Today
 Thomas W. Bragg, vice chairman of the city campaign committees. will have all his teams in the field today and they will continue until the en- tire city has been canvassed.
 The business mems committees which begin their canvass today are expected to have several large sub- scriptions to report by tomorrow. which will materially increase Fri- days total of s30,00o. Chairman Car son Adams will also have Saturdays subscriptions 4tabulated today and with all teams of business men and alumni at work beginning this morn ing, rapid progress is expected to be made toward the goal of $300.000 for the city of Birmingham.

TIER IS HELD
White Man Accused by Negro of
 Impersonating Officer

W. H. Teer, white man. was af- rested and placed in the city jail last night about 9 o'clock, by Detectives Moser and Brown, to be held for i'm vestigation, following the report of Joe Pearson. negro, 1409 Third ave- nue, north, that he had been held up by some white man, who posed as an officer.
 Teer was arrested a short while later and was positively identified by Pearson when the two were brought together.
 The alleged hold-up is said to have taken place on Third avenue between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets.
 According to Pearson, the man walked up to him, saying that he was an officer, and began to search his clothes. The negro claims that he had nothing of value on him at the time, so consequently is nothing out.
 The detectives will continue their investigation this morning

dealer at Brownwood, Tex, more than IS months ago. The case was taken to the Bell county court upon change of venue. resulting in the death sem tence for the accused man.
 Lease on Life
 The late confession of the alleged accomplice in the Brown county killing, came to the condemned man almost as a communication from the executive of the state itself, snatch Ing him literally from the hang mans noose and giving him another lease on life.
 According to adviees received from Texas officials. Sheriff Albert Bonds of Belton, Texa who had the eon- demned man in custody, was informed by tho trial judge to- repair imme- oiately for Temple. Tex. With the ar rival, the sheriff was informed of the confession of Willie Carter, who In his statement. denied that Horns5y was in any way connected with the killing of weatherby.
 Third Degree
 Carter. advices from the Texas scene of the crime declare. testified that Arthur Brown, instead of George Hornshy, was in company with Myr- tle Chambers several days before the killing occurred at Brownwood, and stated that he substituted the name Of Hornshy, whom he knew, because officers, putting him through gruel- ling third degree methods to extrsc ct confession, told him Hornsby had already made confession and he had better coma clean with what he knew,
 Prompted by this suggestion to save himself, 1t is said, Carter placed the whole credit for the deed upon Hornshy, Brown being at large. Hornshy was forthwith arrested at birminghem and upon his return. after trial, was sentenced to death.
 6elton county newspapers pub lished Friday give wide publicity to the confession of Carter duplicating Brown, whom. he said, he met in Oklahoma before the deed is alleged to have been committed. With tho confession of the boy accompliee. it is thought that efforts of friends of tho condemned man in Birmingham have net been in vain. because of their untiring efforts to prove that Hornsoy was innocent of the crime.
