JURY STILL OUT
IN k|LGORE CASE
Judge HefIin Instructs Jury to
Disregard Plea of
Insanity

After celebrating until 10 o'clock
Tuesday night, the jury in the case
of r. r.. Johnson, charged with the
murder OF w. c. Kilgore, Jr., failed
to reach an agreement and were sent
to the Hillman hotel for the night.
The case was given to the jury at
o'clock Tuesday afternoon, follow
ing charge of hour duration given
by Judge II. p. Helm, the principal
feature of which was his instruc-
ton to the jury to disregard the
plea OF insanity interposed by the
defendant, on the grounds that the
evidence offered did not substantiate
the plea.
The trial of Johnson was COM
menced last Thursday in the criminal
division of the circuit court. the de-
PENDANT plead not guilty by reason
of insanity and also invoked the un-
written law. The case attracted
unusual attention and large crowds
have been in evidence at the sessions
of the trial
Kilgore, was killed on the eve
ming of September S, at the end of
the Fifteenth street car line on
Fountain Heights, alleged to have
been shot by Johnson, following an
argument said to have arisen over

URGED BY SPEAKER
Before League Of Women
Voters, Social Worker Out
lined Plans For Need
ed Reforms

Alabama should have the mothers
pension bill passed This is an abso-
lately necessary thing to take care
of many children that should not be
removed from their mothers care
but I would add this word: Don't put
it up to pass until you have made a
thorough study of the mothers pen
sion laws now operating in other
states.
~This study win naturally post :
pone your bringing up the measure
before this present legislature. But,
in the long run, 1t will pay; for you
women will have had an opptrtun-
ity, before your following legisla-
ture, to frame the very best pension
laws possible"

DRAMA FOLK HEAR
COLORF Ill LECTURE
BY R0F A. G.L0EHR
Drama in China" Described
by. Birmingham Southern
Professor Before the
Drama League

China-exotic. fantastic, and, to
oeeidentsls, enigmatical-was por-
trayed in all its dramatic oddities
before the Birmingham Drama league
Tuesday afternoon by Allen G. Loehr,
professor OF English, French and
public> speaking at Birmingham
Southern college, Who was born and
reared in China. and who came to
this country only short time ago.
The subject of Professor Loehrs
lecture was Drama in China. and
it was crisp; vivid, and entertaining.
Professor Loehr told of the origin
of the old Chinese drama. which am
tedates, he said, even that of the
Greeks He also told of the psyche
logical causes which made the chi
nese the greatest play folk In the
word. declaring that ! the bland,
childlike Chinese act from the time
they leave their cradle to the time
they enter the grave, walking dur
Ing life literally across a vast pan
oramfc stage"
Some of the peculiar customs OF the
Chinese in the theatre were told in
an interesting way by Professor
Loehr. The swing in China toward
realism, with its attending srotesoue
and homogeneous consequences, was
described by the speaker.
Professor Loehr made an appear
for the Little theatre. and for the
cooperation OF Birmingham artists
architects. musicians, writers, actors
and public in making distinctive
Birmingham amateur theatre.
The Drama league also had as ITS
guest Miss Emily Taft. daughter or
dorado Taft, scultor, who is in BIZ
mingham with the cast of cat ana
Canary. Miss Taft, in delightful
and naive way. told the members OF
the league, after she had been In
troduced by Mrs. H. U. Sims, presi-
dent, that she had never MADE
speech and did not know how.
Miss Willie Allen, chairman OF the
education committee. presented MT.
Loehr, and made some announces
ments for the future.

must look out for: First--Who shall
be eligible2
Following up this question she re-
lated her idea was that IL should be
restricted closely to actual widows
and mothers who are in insane asy-
lums or jails. In some states, she de-
clared. the bill was made to read
parent" and thus men were eligible
for the pensions. In a case of a de-
serted wife she said that the ques-
ton was somewhat debatable, as, in
one instance at least, one woman
drove her husband away from home

put it, "A $40 pension instead CT
Sect nd-What shall be the admin
istering authority?
In this connection, she declared,
most states put the work up to tine
juvenile court but some states had
the county commissioners do 1t. Still
other states made il the duty of the
local welfare committee, respt nsible
to the state child welfare associa-
ton.
Local Board
Concerning this question, sentiment
prevailed among several league mem
bers that the local board of reve-

being usually elected on account OF
their qualifications as engineers and
road builders with very little, If any.
knowledge or even interest in relief
work" This, declared one, was evil
denced by the fact that jefferson
county has withdrawn many appro-
priations for charitable institutions
of the county.
In country districts, Miss Vail
said, the probate Judge was too busy
man to have time to goeinto such
family problems. and there local
child welfare bureaus responsible to
the state would probably be best
functioning bodies.
Third--What shall be the source of
the funds? This, Miss Vail said, in
many places was purely a county ar
fair, but in some states, the state
bore a part of the expense. II the
state came into the situation there
would probably be more uniformly
good work done she felt.
Last OF all, the speaker, who is a.
very broad minded. energetic, clever
and convincing woman. declared
that in order to administer the wom-
ans pension law well there must be
good machinerS.

Luncheon Clubs
KIWANIs


One. of the great economic prob
lens of the present day is the
proper care of the sick, and especial
ly the problem of the proper hospital
services for the SICK" said DIR. James
NJ. Long. superintendent of the Bir-
mingham Baptist hospital at the
luncheon of the Kiwanis club Tues
day.
There are two classes of people
in this country today who are able
to get the proper kind of hospital
treatment-the rich and the poor.
The first because they are able
and the later because they can apply
to any charitable institution. How
ever, there is class of people Known
as the middle class OF which fully
SO per cent are unable to receive the
proper hospital treatment mainly be-
cause of funds and also because OF
their hesitancy in going to charitabl
hospitals. 1t Is this class of people
particularly that the Birmingham
Baptist hospital has outlined IA year
~ service for, that they may be able
TO receive the proper care. This has
been long felt want in view of the
fact. which may appear astounding
to you. that virtually all of the mid
die class of people are wage earners
whose wages amount to around
$4,000 year. Figuring a family OF
five ON an average you can readily
see that the man of the family is
not able to provide the proper hos
pital help for his family.
