 President Harding's death has made great change in the political landscape and President Coolidge is now an outstanding figure on the re publican horizon.
 He undoubtedly will be candi- date for the nomination in the next republican national convention, and he ought to be able to take d solid New England delegation with hlm.
 President Coolidge ought to count upon going into the next national convention-with SS votes of New Ens- land, which will be more than those of either Pennsylvania or Illinois and only two less than those of New York

 To set the matter in detail before the voters, the city commission If Birmingham places before the public the following summary, analysis and explanation of what is generally called the jitney question:"

 You are aware that the city com mission some time ago adopted an ordinance embracing an agreement between the city and the Birming- ham Railway, Light X Power com pany, covering certain important and material questions to the benefit and welfare of the people of this city.
 We acted only in a representa- tive capacity for the citizenship of the city, feeling that the benefits that were derived through the agree ment were of such great importance that our action was not Gnly justi- fled, but would be fully sustained by the people of the city We have no material interest in the outcome or the result, other than what we have attempted to do in the way of achiev- ing certain benefits to the pblic. This commission has at all times without equivocatiCn or evasion, been in favor of this whole question being laid before the people for their final determination, and have facili- tated and not retarded this end. If the people want these benefits and these gains they will say so by their votes, if they do not want these benefits and advantages, then they may also say so by their votes. That is the attitude tf the city com mission on this question.
 An election has been called and fixed for August 2S, on which date the people will register their votes for or against this proposition This commission is willing to give every assistance and cooperation tC the prosecution of the campaign, that this matter may be laid before the people in a fair and intelligent man ner, but we felt that the sponsor ing and the carrying on of this cam paign should be conducted by the citizens and the clubs and organlza- tions favoring 1t.

Moses Predicts New England Re- publicans Will Support President

WASHINGTON, August 13.-The federal government moved today to avert an anthracite strike by invit- ing representative f both the oper- ators and miners to confer with the coal commission here immediately.
 A telegram conveying the invita- . tion to both sides went forward shortly after noon. It was signed by coal commission officials after they had conferred with President Coo lidge.
 For the present, at least, it was in dicated that the President desired to leave the situation entirely in the hands of the commission. Whether he would take any more direct steps later to insure an agreement, has not been reVealde.
 There is no doubt however that MT. Coolidge is fully advised re- garding the break between the oper- ators and miners, which is threaten ing suspension of work in the an thracite mines on September l, and vii remain in closest touch with all developments. Recently he con ferred with John Hays Hammond chairman of the commission, and to- day he had a long talk with George otis Smith, another of it's members.

JURISDICTION IN REDUCTION ( SEE WAIVED BY BOARD
City Commission, Cloe Pro- testing, Refuses To Hear
 Appeal Of Richards

Birmingham's city commission Monday morning decided at an ad- journed meeting that they had no jurisdiction under the Civil Service act to hear the appeal case of $. E. Richards, sergeant of police in the Ensley precinct, reduced to the rank o: patrolman by the civil service board at a recent meeting.
 After an opinion by w. J. Wynn, city attorney. President D. E. Me Lendon, w. l.. Harrison and w. E. Dickson all voted on the latter's re solution that the appeal be dismissed. Commissioner Cloe strenuously ob, jected to the mo- of the balance Of the comm ission and held that the cm- mission should hear and decide the case upon the erits. MT. Wynn told the commission they were without jurisdiction in the case.
 Commissioner Harrison claimed that the promotions and demotion committee of the police department should hear the appeal and not the city commission under the service law. Mr. Dickson stated the service law was to eliminate politics in the hiring and firing of members Of the police department by taking 1t out of the hands of the commission.
 Richards was charged, when re- gently tried before the civil service board, that he refused medical at 'ention and bond to k. J. Tate, who was confined in the Ensley jail. Richards was found guilty by the service board. G. A. Faircloth, who represented Richards before the city commission, contended the law did not provide an appeal except to the city commission. Wynn said that an appeal to the commission was only allowed, under the act, in case of the discharging of an officer.
