ALLEN SLATED FQR
 NE W JUDGESHIP BY CHIEF EXECUTIVE
Judge MayfieId Said To Have Declared Creating Act Is
 Unconstitutional

Edgar Allen has the inside track in the race for the new circuit judge ship, according to most men more or less in a position to know, but Robert J. Wheeler is still going strong.
 Three or four new developments came out in the discussion of the dangling plum in Birmingham Thursday morning.; the first was that Judge J. J. Mayfield, legal ad- visor to the governor, and considered one of the best constitutional lawyers in the state, has said the act creat- ing the new judgeship is unconsti- tutional and will not hold.
 Point number two brought forward was that Governor Brandon Tuesday told Frank Dominick, who managed the Brandon campaign in Jefferson county, and who advocated the ap- pointment of MT. Allen, that MT. Allen would get the appointment.
 Point number three was to the ef- feet Birmingham officialdom Is in- terested In the appointment of MT. Wheeler, who is one of the assistant city attorneys, and the governor would like to recall his promise to MT. Dominick.
 
 governor had offered the municipal court judgeship, now held by MT. Allen, to MT. Wheeler, and that MT. Wheeler would rather not have that. only for one thing, the post Is the gift of the judges of the Jeffer- son county circuit court and Is not at the dispt sition of the governor.
 The new names were under discus sion Thursday. It was said former City Commissioner J. Ellis Brown might get one of the other of the two posts and that former Solicitor Joe Tate wac in the running.
 Reports were to the effect the gov ernor would have been more pleased had he not committed himself in the matter as soon as he did, principally because the judgeship will be sup ported financially by the city and the city Is entitled to more than ordinary consideration because of that fact.
 The position of the city, while in no wise outlined by any of it's of ficials, was said to .e one of great delicacy, in that it cannot assume ac- tive championship of any appointee because should it back the one man it would possibly prove embarrassing If another got the position.
 The post now held by MT. Allen be- came Thursday the more coveted of the two after the word went around that Judge Mayfield did not consider the act creating the Ifew judgeship constitutional. What effect this will have on the contest remains to be seen.

Another thing we are asking Is that all the plants spruce up their property on the side that faces the railroads so the community will make as good an impression as possible on those who see our city from the trains"
 The directors of the Chamber of Commerce passed another resolution authorizing monthly meetings of each division of the organization.
 To Oscar Wells. president of the First National bank, the board re- ferred a communication from the Chicago Association of Commerce, asking the Birmingham organlza tion to go on record opposing the Clayton Adams bill to curtail the present system of collecting checks in connectioon with the federal re- serve banks.
