cast, which is slightly less than the
1921 election report at o'clock, of
1853 votes.
At that hour the sixth ward, the
city's democratic stronghold, led in
the number of votes cast and it was
generally conceded that the nominees

sixth ward, FAC. S15. Totals, 1896,
1883.
That the first four wards, by rea-
son of the fact that they are over
whelmingly republican, and the fifth
ward by reason of the fact that the

tion. will all go republican was not
questioned today. The sixth ward
is conceded to the democrats

BUILDING BOOM AT
 MUSCLE SHOALS |S SHOWN IN REPORT
Florence Comes Fifth Among Cities of State in Cost of Construction
 Work Done
TENNESSEE VALLEY BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD Tforanca An Eeb. 1S |


 Reports just issued indicate there were more building permits issued in Florence during the year 1922 than in any other city in Alabama with the single exception of Birmingham, and the cost of construction was ex- ceeded by only four cities, Birming- ham, Mobile, Montgomery and Tus- caloosa
 Florence came fifth in cost of con struction, almost doubling it's nearest competitor, Anniston. Building per- mits for Florence were more than $6o0,00o, while those for Anniston were s316, 6,oe0
 An interesting fact in connection with building activities here Is that the majority of buildings constructed were homes for working people and others in moderate circumstances. The building boom continues, per mlts for January, 1923. running in eX cess of those of January, 1922, and contractors, lumber and other deal CTS in building materials report that contracts and orders now on file will provide several months of most in tense activity.
 There has never been time in the history of the city when there was as much construction work in pro- gress unless it was during the boom of 1889. The housing shortage is still acute, real estate dealers re- porting there are practically no un- occupied houses in the city.

INDUSTRIAL SYSTEM OF CHINA IS WORST IN WORLD, EDDY SAYS

CHICAGO, Feb. l The industrial system in China today is the worst in world history and Is causing un- rest and the organization of labor unions, according to Rev. Sherwood Eddy, who just completed a survey of industrial conditions there and re- ported to the committee on conserva- tien and advance of the Methodist Episcopal church here.
 According to the report, Chinese adult male laborers receive from 5 miners. who rtceive only cents per day, have organized labor unions in some places to better their condl- tions. which, they assert, are such that they cannot buy both rice and clothing with that meager pay. The miners work ten hours a day under ground and work seven days a week as is the custom in Chinese factories, the report says.
 According to the survey, boys of years of age are employed by thou sands in various factories and in 40 pongee silk factories in Chefoo, 25.- 900 boys and young men work IS hours day for wages averaging $ cents each. Boys are working in such factories because their parents cannot afford the necessary cents Fer day to feed them, the report con- tinues. They receive only their food and clothing.
 Small girls are likewise employed in the factories in countless num- bers, many of them working among machines unproyided with most ele- mentary safety devices, and fright ful accidents are by no means rare, Dr. Eddy reports.
 The report states that factory man. ngers openly boast that there are in China mo yexatious factory laws" providing for safety devices, and the principles of workmcn's compensa- tIor Is unheard of.
 Tn certain sections there arc signs of unrest and disorder" says Dr. Eddy's manuscript. Scarcely q day passes without report of q strike In some department. The universal de. mand Is for shorter hours, increased wages and the right to organizs."

NE VI YORK WOMAN |S CONVICTED FUR. DEATH IF DOCTOR
Mrs. Raizen, After Weeping Throughout Trial, Hears Verdict of Jury With
 out Tears

NEW YORK, Feb 1s,--A verdict ot guilty of second degree murder. was returned by a supreme court jury today against Mrs. Lillian S. Raizen who shot and killed Dr. Abram Click stein, in his Brooklyn office, Decem- Der 10, 1921.
 Mrs. Raizen's defense was that the physician had ruined her life and that she had been driven to insanity through haunting fear of him.
 The jury, picked from a special panel of 100 men of super intel ligence," and instructed to try the de- fendant with their heads and not their hearts, returned the verdict after de- liberating F hours and 15 minutes
 When the jury was given the case at II o'clock Saturday night the de- fendant, sobbing, was led to tho risoner's room. She fell asleep, her head resting on her aged fathers s however, awakening numerous times and asking if the jury had reached . verdict. Receiving negative an swers she prayed aloud.
 My God" she pleaded. Why do You forsake me?''
 Then after the long wait, came the word. Mrs. Raizen seemed to sense the verdict, twice falling to her knees to pray while on the way to the court room.
 Does Not Weep
 When the verdict which carried a sentence of from 20 years to life im- prisonment, was spoken by the fore eto b b1o lyl1 then crouehed down into her chair and shuddered. She made no audible sound. Throughout her trial she had been subject to spells of violent weeping. But there were no tears in her eyes as she stood at the bar to answer the perfunctory questions re- quired by law.
 Mrss Raizen,s father, Charles Schaeffer, and her brother. who sat on the first bench, wept bitterly with their arms about each other. The defendants husband, Charles Raizen, arrived after the verdict was an nounced. He hurried into the cham Der, took his wife in his arms and attempted to cheer her. She was then taken to Raymond street jail to await sentence tomorrow.
 Mrs. Raizen was placed on trial February 13, after having undergone numerous sanity tests by commis- sions of alienists pronounced her sane. others declared she was insane. when she shot the physician.
 Several months ago she expressed a desire to stand trial, saying she had been cheered by the acquittal of Miss Olivia M. P. Stone, trained nurse, who pleaded the unwritten law for staying a prominent Cincinnati attorney she declared had ruined her life. She received a letter from Miss Stone before she went to trial.
