I9TH AXE VICTIM IN
 BIRMINGHAM MURDERS
StOrekeeper Found Dead Slain by Keen Edged
 Weapon Left Behind

Birmingham, Ala. May 29..-Birm ingham police are trying to solve the murder of Charley Graffo, the latest victim of a series of axe assaults which during the past 42 months has taken the lives of g persons and re- suited in injuries to IT others.
 Graffo was found dead at his store in the outlying residential section last night with his skull crushed by the blow of an axe. and his throat slashed. A blood spattered axe shoot, i behind the door. It's handle &as shortened so that il could be carried beneath ascoat, police believe.
 The dead mans pockets had been riIieu and the store robbed. The as- sailaspt evidently had entered under the Apretonse of making purchase, the police said
 The attack upon Gratfo was the 2Sth assault during the 42 month period the first being on the night of November 2S, 1912
 Alleged perpetrators have been sent to jail in only three of the long list of cases
 Police declare they have divided the axe cases into two claSsiticatons In the first grocerymen and cafe owners have been the victims and in the other group the intermingling of races is said to have been involved.
 Theories regarding the crimes have covered a large range. While the attacks in some cases apparently have ad robbery as the motive. in some the idea has been advanced that they were the result of quarrels between negroes who had stolen property and men who were acting as fences In disposing of the property.
 Police also have held the theory that a number of the cases have been by drug addicts.
 Although the attack on Graffeo was the 2sth occurrence of this kind | previous assaults numbered more than 1 one victim at time, making total 1 1f SC victims.

women of America who cherish q be- l lief in righteousness of the cause.
 Brave Americans in the pursuance
 of the conflicts grim course, became l imbued with the fires of ambition ] obiective-the destruction of an un-
 righteous power.
 The ideals of our citizen -soldiery found expression in the defense of
 humanity To have fought for the flag in the great conflict was to have
 maintained the cause of right. In the words of one soldier. who wrote to his mother on the eve of battle:
 "'For myself l would have you be- lieve that whatever end I meet, met 1t with an even mind, constant in the conclusion that I would rather have gone out to this war and not come back than not to have gone at all My chief regret, if l may not live to see the end. is that I may not witness the triumph of right over wrong in this, the most terrible eruption of the forces of reaction in history. That these forces can triumph is unthink- able; if they are to win would rather die than witness the victory
 Tt was in such spirit that the men of this great nation died. It was that unalterable pride in the defense of humanity's rights that led them to give their all. Theirs was the reali- zation of the spirit of America.
 Our sacred privilege is to enshrine them in the heart of America and the world. xxx
 As national commander of the Am arican Legion I implore every man. | and child of our mighty na- ] ton to pay homage to the memory of these brave men of every race. class i and creed of every war Let us re- | their resting places as | 'hrines of free America: rcdedicat ng our lives to the furtharance of theF deals for which they died,"

ringers. Officially, the bell
ringer of Notre Dame de Paris
is a woman who inherited the
position from a long line of
ringers, but the work is too
heavy for a woman and she is
obliged to employ men. Since
the beginning of the war in
1914 the bells have not been
heard very often except for i'm

well there will likely be more

Defendants Lose Motion to
0uash Knickerbocker DAM
age Proceedings.

Motions Of Reginald w. Geare'
John H. Ford and the Upion Iron
Works to dismiss the fifty or more
suits filed by representatives OF
victims Of the Knickerbocker Thea
ter collapse, which seek to hold
not only the theater company, but
nlso the architect, the iron fabrica-
tor and the District jointly respon-
ruled yesterday by Justice Hoehling
of the District Supreme Court. The
court held that the. declarations
state a cause Of action to which
all the defendants must plead.
Reginald w. Geare, represented
by Attorneys Daniel Thew Wright
and Philip Ershler filed a demur.
rer to the several declarations.
The new legal proposition raised
by the demurrer is that the declara-
tions on their face show that the
Knickerbocker. Theater had been
Completed and turned over to the
owner some time before the accident
and that the negligence, if any, was
in the maintenance Of a defective
building and the inviting of the pub
lie to patronize it.
It is claimed that the victims can
not look to the builders as being
responsible for the collapse of the
roof: that the theater company
maintaining the house should be
held responsible.
