OFFICER CLEARED
 IN SHOOTING CASE
Civil Service Board De- cIares Phillips Was
 Justified In Action

Traffic Officer J. E. Phillips of the Birmingham police department was ab- solved Wednesday night of all charges against him that grew out of the shoot ing June 20 of Annie Lee Pitts and Bessie Tate, negro women, in the rear of 2106 Humboldt avenue, after a hearing before the civil service board.
 Charges against Phillips were pre- ferred by white residents of the district in which the shooting took place. Yer dict was made by the civil service board at the close of the second night of the trial, and after listening for several hours to testimony of a number of witnesses, some of which was highly contradictory. Even the stories of sup posed eye-witnesses differed widely.
 Official verdict of the board said that the affair was very unfortunate, but that the unanimous decision of the board was that Phillips act was entire ly justified.
 Among the witnesses who testified at Wednesday nights trial were Mrs. Paul Shaggs. Mrs. N. G. Hammond, Mrs. o. T. Dozier. Paralee Bell, Be atrice aBell, Bessie Tate, PatrOlman Brady, Mrs. Ida Moore, R. E. Hunt, R. R. Dobbs, F. G. Garrison, Mrs. J. E. Phillips and Phillips.

SINCLAIR OMITS COMMON DIVIDEND
Oil Shares Continue Weak Showing In Curb
 Market

NEW YORK, July 16.-Continued weakness of the oil shares resulting from unfavorable developments in the industry and omission of the Sinclair Consolidated Oil common dividend stood out in Curb market trading today in contrast to the general firmness Of industrial issues.
 Pressure on the oil affected even many leading stocks. Prairie Oil and Gas yielding three points at the close for new low of the year at 196. Sev- eral of the active Standard Oil issues held their ground, receding only frac- tionally, but Standard Oil of Ohio lost six points and Swann and Finch five and a half points on small turnOvers. Penn Mexico Fuel gained two points and South Penn Oil closed a point higher.
 The firm tone of the industrial list vast shown in a gain of more than two points by Gillette Safety Razor, which rose three points at one time. Centri- fugal Cast Iron Pipe and Glen Alden Coal closed more than point higher. Strength also was displayed by the radio and motor shares, while public utilities failed. to reflect their GUS tomary interesting movements, prices being held to a narrow range.

 Sluggishness in business activity has now become so widespread that no one section of the country has been able to sidestep it's depressing influence. A pause in the onward march is necessary at times. however, to give opportunity for reflection over the faults in the business structure that they may be eliminated in preparation for later period of prosperity which could not be of long duration unless begun upon sound foundation.
