petus Under Attack
 Birmingham Civilians are highl ' pleased with the result of the first days campaign for funds for the Children's hospital. according to statements made by officials of that organization Monday night. A cam paign for s25.0o0 to operate the Children's hospital for & year was begun Monday morning and the teams beginning work at the start have been very successful. As there field and all had not reported Mon day night it was impossible to an nounce how much had been sub scribed on the first day.
 Sidney J. Bowie, vice president of the club, is serving as chairman of the campaign for funds for the hos pital and is being assisted by Francis J. Latady and c. B. Pultz, vice chair men.
 The teams are composed of two members of the club and thorough canvass is planned for this week.
 Among the first teams to take the field and the first Civilians to sub scribe to the fund were: Hugo Black, president of the club; Charles Lehman, c. F. Corwin, Sidney J. Bowie, Marvin Blach, Reid Lawson, Ed Irwin, Dr. c. w. Shropshire, John V. Mix, pr. T. A. Cheatham, Morgan Martin and Jelks Cabaniss.

 A feature of the campaign which is causing the competition to grow keener with the passing hours is the fact that the race for prizes is still anYbodY's, even new entrants with sufficient ambition and energy to win. AS foretold in the beginning. the very numbers of the members is making this so, for the credits are so thoroughly split up among the many members that no one has pro- gressed into a definitely leading po- sition or to place where he or she cannot be passed by diligent Grive for winning credits. The race is bound to grow progressively more exciting as the end of the campaign approaches, and wise is the contest ant who does not delay startinR his or her hardest drive for credits.

 Time To Prepare Plea


 Hearing of the motion for a new trial for Will Yerby, convicted slayer of Airline c. King, 1Syear- youth, near Mount Pinson last August, was passed until Saturday when it came up Monday before Judge W. E. Fort in the criminal division of circuit court. The hearing was passed upon the plea of Matt Murphy. attorney for Yerby, who asked for post pointed on the ground that he had not had time to prepare his evidence.
 Yerby was convicted of second de- gree murder and sentenced to serve 10 years in the state penitentiary by jury in circuit court here several weeks ago. Shortly after his sen tence had been passed motion was filed by his attorney asking that new trial be granted and giving sev- eral points upon which the motion was based. Later this petition was amended and asked for a new trial upon the further ground that juror had previously expressed opinion as to Yerby's guilt before the case had been tried.
 Yerby pleaded self-defense and it was brought out that the Killing re- suited from a dispute between Yerby and the King boy over the hiding of iiquor on Yerby's place by the Kings.

With his fingers crossed and brow puckered l.. F.. Gray, secretary of the city commission, sat Monday after noon looking at the door of the city council chamber. The commissioners will hold their regular weekly meet ing in the room Tuesday and, so far there is practically nothing in the secretary's portfolio to bring before the honorable body.
 II is on such occasions that trou- ble usually breaks out. If the port folio is packed fat with bids, papers and other data for the commissioners to consider Mir. Gray knows his charges will have their hands and minds full, but just let them be called to order with nothing much in the nature of pressing business to consider. then they begin to think up things, and that means trouble for the secretary.
 "Whatcher going to have at the meeting Tuesday," was asked.
 There is nothing in sight so We can expect q lot" he answered.
