 ton or convention will be disturbed by fire or storm.
 In accepting the building on the part of the public utilities branch of the city government, Commissioner William l.. Harrison said:
 "Birmingham has been dreaming and yearning for years-for over decade for Such a building as this, in which the people can come together. It will compare favorably with any municipal auditorium in the country. It fills q great cultural need. It is wonderful.
 "Let us make it one of the greatest assets to Birmingham"
 The next speaker on the program was Commissioner W.NB. Cloe. Mrs. Mary Echols, Birmingham's woman commis- sioner, was unable to attend because of severe illness. In his talk, Com missioner Cloe again stressed the value of the auditorium, to the religious, edu- cational, cultural, industrial and com mercial life of Birmingham. He em- phasized the growth of the city by in- troducins to the audience Uncle | Jimmy" Harrow, 1O7 years old, who re- tains full possession of his faculties In speaking of Mir. Farrow, Mir. Cloe stated that he was the first man to mine coal and iron ore in Birmingham and that when MT. Farrow came to Birmingham, it was necessary to bring food and ani- nal feed from Tennessee by pack train.
 Judge Fort Speaks
 The public was represented on the program by Circuit Judge William E. Fort, who asserted the auditorium was visible sign of increasing civilization and municipal growth.
 After an announcement of the pro- gram at the auditorium for the coming week, by o. Gordon Erickson, who pointed out that Louise Homer, metro politan opera singer, was to appear Monday night at prices ranging from 50 cents to $1. 50, an Alabdma state flag and three national emblems were pre- sented to the auditorium. The state flag presentation was made by Mrs. J. R. Estes, regent of the Daughters of the American Revolution; the small American flag by Mrs. Henry Swope in behalf of the W. R. c. and G. A. R. and two large American flags to be used on the flag pole by the American Le- zion and the American Legion auxil- iary. The dedication exercises closed with America, sung by the audience. Large bouquets of flowers on the stage were presented by Jemison and company, chamber of commerce, D. R. Reeves, city market florist, and Frank Rushton.
 At the conclusion of the formal pro- gram, a large number of the audience inspected the building. In this con nectiou, it was explained by Mr.. Brick son that the sloping floor is made in sections and is easily removable. When there is a musical attraction or a lee ture or convention, the usual sloping threatrical floor is possible, but when the auditorium is being used for expo sition purposes it will be perfectly level.

CRIME SCOURGE
 FACED NATION, CAVERLY AYERS
Jurist Urges Scientific Attention To Mind Of Youth Of Land

NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-Only by giv- ing immediate scientific attention to mentally deficient children can America be spared "the scourge of tens of thou sands of potential criminals" accord ing to Judge John R. Caverly of Chi cago, who presided in the trial of Rich ard Loeb and Nathan Leopold for the murder of Robbie" Franks:
 In a statement issued through the general committee of the Homeopathic hospital here, Judge Caverly discloses for the first time his personal attitude toward Leopold and Loeb. Implying that tue two young Chicago murderers were the victims of degeneracy from early youth, Judge Caverly asks:
 "Who knows but that scientific at tention to Leopold and Loeb might not have saved them from committing a great crime?"
 Caverly indorses the Homeopathic hos pital, which is to be built in New York. It will give free diagnosis and treat7 ment in all cases of incipient mental de- engagement. Declaring the United States needs more institutions of this charac- ter, the judge added:
 "An institution that ministers to the minds of our youth, corrects their de- fects and sets them on the right road is an institution worthy of support from all people. Our centers of population hold out strong temptations and the minds of the weak are easily swayed. No doubt, there are hundreds of thou sands of boys in crowded cities like New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and similar great communities in need of scientific examination and attention.
 'The time to stop development of criminal tendencies is in the youth when the mind is wide open to impressions. Taken in time, the country may be saved the scourge of tens of thousands of potential criminals"
 Judge Caverly expresses the belief that of the hundreds of cases of youth full criminals he has heard, most of these could have been saved from them selves and for society if they had been accorded proper psychopathic atten- tiOn."

 question as to how reaction can be unseated and a part, at least, of the reforms which both Mir. Davis and Senator La Toilette are fighting for can be achieved.
 The Only Way
 q am convinced that the only chance to drive corruption and graft out of Washington, to purify the government and to accomplish the reforms de- manded by the people is to elect Davis and Bryan. They are assured at the outset of large vote in the electoral college from the rock-ribbed democratic states. With the support of a reason able number of the progressive states they can be elected and a progressive administration installed at Washing ton.
 ''The democratic national platform is distinctly progressive document. It offers a broad ground upon which men and women of liberal opinion may stand. It presents a program for agricultural relief which is sound and comprehen- sive. It declares for the correct prin- ciples of taxation, namely that the bur den shall be lifted, so far as possible, from the backs of those least able to pay and placed upon those best able to bear it. It promises tariff reform and to stop, as quickly as possible, the robbery of the people, sanctioned by and practiced under the Fordney-Mc- Cumber tariff bill. It outlines an en- frightened foreign policy which will pre- vent war and reduce the burden of military and naval armaments throughout the world. The Democratic party's labor record is not only unim peachable but the admirable laws en acted during the administration oi Woodrow Wilson dealing with labor and the social order, finance, and tho general economy, have brought trans cendant benefits permanent ill charac ter, to- the American people.
 "The alternative to Davis is Coolidge reaction and chaos. The events of tho past fifteen months, since Mir. Cool idge has been president, have demon strated beyond all question his utter in capacity for leadership. They have a! conclusively demonstrated that Mir Coolidge is also not only the willing but the subservient instrument of in visible government. He works in SC crecy and silence, but the interest know where to put their finger on hin and what to expect of him every hou of the twenty-four. Mir. Coolidge doe not reveal himself to the American peo pie. He does not take the public int, his confidence as other presidents hay done. Privilege is, therefore. able t, work its will upon the American peo pie with less fear of detection an, greater certainty of reward.

 CHEYENNE, Wyo., Oct. 19.-Nellie Taylor Ross, first woman nominated for governor of Wyoming-the first state to grant suffrage to women in 1S69- has raised no issue, will make no cam paign. She regards her nomination on October 14 by unanimous vote of the democratic state convention, on the first ballot, as tribute to her late husband, Gov. William B. Ross. She will, she says, carry out to the best of her ability the policies of her hus- bands administration should she be elected November to serve the unex- pired portion of the term to which he was elected.
 T will carry on as I think William would wish," she said today, eff the people of Wyoming express confidence in my ability-to do so by electing me to the governorship. I will make no canvass for the office; l am going to stay at home."
 Not Physically Able
 Even though Mrs. Ross desired to make an active campaign during the barely two weeks intervening before election day, it is improbable that she would be able to do so. Her husbands death, after an illness of only a week, was terrific shock to her and for days thereafter she was prostrated. She shows the physical ravages sharply i; she needs nothing so much as rest. Furthermore she shrinks from prom thence, and a personal canvass, even though she were in normal health, would be for her an ordeal which proba- ply she could not bring herself to face.
 She is of the type that makes and belongs where she says she will re- main while the people of Wyoming are deciding whether she shall be, or shall not be, governor-in, the home
 Home" for her during that period will be where it has been during the last two years, in the executive man sion. She has no claim of right to oc- cupy that stately building at this time but republican board of control graci- ously has requested her to remain there until the end of the year, regardless of the outcome of the election.
