vice president of the show, Wednes-
day, who has some birds that have
taken prizes.
This exhibit shows what we have
already claimed, that Alabama has as
good birds, and better. as can be
bought from the best dealers outside
the state. Out of 400 white leghorns
sent In from 10 states, judged by r.
E. Bruce, a Louisiana man, who has

MOSTLY POLITICS IS
M'LENDON'S OPINION
Hearing For City Comptroller Tay
lor Set For Thursday

Final decision in the charges
against Comptroller Marvin Taylor,
growing out of the discharge of Mrs.
C. C. Walker, will be reached by the
city commission at private session
Thursday.
Individual Investigations of the
charge by NJ. A. Dinsmore, attorney
for Mrs. Walker, that Taylor ousted
her to cover up an alleged insurance
transaction in which he permitted
his private Insurance to be paid for
with city funds, consumed much OF
the commissioners time during the
day.
Mr.. Taylor stands on the statement
that he thought the insurance had
been cancelled. He said he paid the
premium out of his own funds as
soon as he learned he was still IN
sured in a police department group
policy.
D.. e. McLendon. president of the
commission, announced he had sifted
the. case thoroughly and found that
it In no way showed the comptroller
to be guilty Of improper conduct.
"The whole thing is largely po-
litical attack on department for
which 1 am responsible, due to At
torney Dfnsmore's personal dislike
for me- said Mr.. McLendon, who an
nounced he would vote to exonerate
the comptroller.
Attorney Dinsmore was active at
the city hall Wednesday, calling on
several members of the commission.
He had nothing to say for publica-
ton.
The commission Tuesday upheld
Mrs. Walkers discharge but passed
resolutions evindicating her of any
thing rejecting on her integrity.
