TRAFFIC MEASURE TO BE POSTPONE ]
Adoption Of New Ordinance To Await Full Discussion
 Before Commission

Adoption of the new traffic laws for Birmingham at the meeting of the city commission Tuesday was not indicated in discussion of the subject among officials Saturday, although getting traffic regulated for safety Is a matter the board is striving to settle as soon as possible.
 Business organizations, clubs and individuals have joined in the open discussion and have proposed modifi- cations of the rulings suggested by Commissioner W. B. Cloe of the de- partment of public safety and Capt. W. W. Brent of the traffic platoon.
 The Birmingham Real Estate Board, the Chamber of Commerce and other organizations have heard the innovations in existing traffic regu- lations discussed by members of the city commission, committees have called at the city hall to advocate regulations that have appealed to them and the whole subject has been given more intensive attention than has been the case with most other matters of regulation that have come up within the past year or so.
 The tentative draft of the regula tions presented before the commits sion two weeks ago and sent to the city legal department has been studied and to some extent rear ranged but is not yet ready for final presentation.
 Commissioner Cloe Saturday morn ing said he was anxious for the adoption of satisfactory regulations at the earliest possible time, but, with others in authority, thought thorough discussion was equally de- slrable and invited suggestions.
 The commission will officially view the status of the matter when the board meets Tuesday morning.

 I'aul Sanders was glad to get the paper and the insurance policy. be- cause it was all the insurance he had, although he wanted more. He was just getting going in life, only 21 years old and already with q wife and a youngster.
 So it was a happy young man who set out that october morning with his wife and baby seeing him off to his days work. As evening drew on Paul was headed homeward. The truck rolled along the smooth road and his thoughts must have been, to some extent, of the wife and baby and supper that awaited him.
 Within a hundred yards of his home the truck lurched veered sharply to one side and Paul was thrown violently from the vehicle. The unguided truck ran on, turned and came to standstill facing the way it had come, as if it were look . ing at the form that lay so still in the roadway

They werS poor people, as worldly goods go, had had no chance to accumulate anything and in the very dawn of their married lives, death had smash ed their happiness had clutehed one of the twain. leaving pitful little widow and her baby facing. the world,

LICENSE REVENUE
 SURF RISING | Y
Returns Expected To SurpaSs Estimates Because Of New
 Businesses Begun

Many additional business houses in Birmingham and the increases in scope of others have upset municipal calculations favorably,s about the amount of income Birmingham was to get from licenses during 1923. The city. it is believed, will get many thousands more than was anticipated,
 The budget calculat. ms of last year had estimated receipts from H. censes and fees at sS25.0oo. It Is now found that collections will exceed this before the first of the year. Just what it will be when the final total in collections is tabulated the license department is not saying. but the city has registered new interpretations in Birmingham at the rate of one day or better, to say nothing of non-in- corporated businesses and established firms and shops adding additional taxable lines and growth in other di- reetions.
 That the city will pass the million mark in returns from licenses during 1923 is not expected, but the steady increase Is expected to make the 1924 close to such a figure.

NEW TRIAL HEARING FOR WADE POSTPONED
Mayhem Case Drags Still Further
 After Jury Declares Guilty

Hearing on the appeal for a new trial for Charles Wade, convicted October 23 of mayhem on George Warren, was postponed until Tuesday afternoon. Judge William E. Fort said Saturday that it would be neces- sary to hear oral testimony, which would require considerable time. App peal for a new trial will be based on alleged improper argument by the prosecuting attorney and the claim that one of the members of the jury had an opinion as to the de- fendants guilt before the trial began,
 In an earlier trial Wade was given from l9 to 20 years, but the case was reversed in the supreme court on the ground that the public had been ex- ciuded from the trial. In the present trial the defendant is represented by C. P. Beddow, Roerick Beddow and Ben F. Ray. Assistant Solicitors John P Mccoy and Willard Drake prose- cuted the ease for the state.
