MISTRIAL REPORTED
 BY THOMPSON JURY
Defendent Is Released On Bond
 Pending Second Trial

A mistrial in the case of Robert W. Thompson, charged with the staying of his next-door neighbor, W. T. Childers, in Woodlawn last summer, was de- clared by Judge Heflin in circuit court late Friday after jury had been dead locked for 2S hours.
 Thompson was released on bond and will be given a second trial next month.
 For three days the case had been bit terly contested. Interest was wide spread and large numbers of Woodlawn citizens, who knew the defendant and the victim, sat through the entire trial.
 The evidence showed that the chill dren of the two families had fight and that the fathers followed it up with a gun battle, in which Childers was fatally wounded.
 Thompson's attorneys introduced a mass of evidence tending to show that the families had been close friends for years and that no malice existed prior to the date of the tragedy.
 Thompson is in the employ of the Southern railway and Childers worked for the same company prior to his death.

MASS MEETING FOR DISCUSSION
 JOINT BUILDING

Discussion of a proposal for combined city and county building, at a joint meeting of the city com mission, county board of revenue and directors of the Chamber of Con- merce, was proposed by the latter at their monthly meeting Friday, following the submission of plan by J. T. Doster for a public mass meeting to take up the proposition.
 The county and city commissioners will be asked to meet with the board at an early date, it was decided, so that full consideration may be given the matter from the viewpoints of all three bodies, previous to the sug- gested mass meeting.
 Dr. Doster urged the Chamber of Commerce to call general mass meeting at which public opinion might be heard on the proposed <s- tablishment of . joint city and coun- ty building, instead of a county court house. The directors evinced interest in the proposal, but ex- pressed themselves as believing that a mutual understanding should be reached between the city and county boards prior to mass meeting.

 LETS CITYHALL
Harrison Jars Board With Analysis Of Pro-
 posed Plan

< Hopes in city official circles that the city might yet build jointly with the E county new administration home were dashed Friday when Commis- sioner Harrison, insa long commission conference, denounced the McLendon plan of financing the project as i'm possible.
 Y Word of the commissioners dead lock on the financing scheme, reaching gthe county board of revenue, caused the latter to announce flatly that it would not wait for the city.
 Tries His Hand.
 Commissioner Harrison said he had decided 4s'to try a hand at finance,n" and presented to the commission fig urges showing that the city would lose s ,300, 900 by President McLendon's plan to float a $1,500,000 bond issue and lease the present, city hall for 30 years at $5O,OO0 year.
 . 5 Saying the scheme was Financially lnsound and wholly .wrorg,1 Commis- sioner Harrison said the, city would, under the McLendoii plan, fall short of $1, ,800,0 of breaking even on the deal, and that the $1 BOO, 900 principal still would be unpaid at the end of the 80-year period. VS,40OyUUU 1uecECSss
 j Interest at 5 perScent on the bond issue would amount, according to MT. < Harrison, to g, ,25O,OO0 for the 3O- year period; a loss in taxes on the building would total $300,OO0, and < loss of the present rents would deprive the city of $750,000, bringing the total ! loss up to $3,300, ,000.N
 Inadequate Returns.
 Through the lease the city would re- gain only .$1, ,5O0, 900, leaving $1,SOO,- 900 shortage, the commissioner pointed out. The principal of $1,5OO,OOO on Z the new building or bond issue would < still be unpaid, he said, bringing the Joss up to the $3,3O0,000 figure.
 Commissioner Harrison said that the only hope the city had was in the out right sale of the present city hall for a sum sufficient to permit the city some realization on the future worth of the building. s Other. commissioners announced that sthey had not given up hope of the joint structure, but said that things were a little blue for the present."

REVISION OF RATES
 ON SUGAR TALKED
Freight Traffic Men Meet In
 Atlanta February 2

Local shippers are being advised by the Birmingham Traffic association that there Is scheduled for hearing be fore the Southern Freight association, at Atlanta February z, a proposed re vision in the rates on sugar from New Orleans and nearby points to Savan- nah and Port Wentworth and from eastern refineries to destinations in southeastern and other country terri tory.
 It is proposed to increase the mini mum weight to all destination points in southern territory to 4O,O0O pounds. which will make an increase of 1000 pounds in connection with the rates from New Orleans to Birmingham. It is also. proposed to cancel all specific less than carload commodity rates. This proposal will not affect the out bound rates from Birmingham, because less carload shipments have been moved on class rates, but points like New Or leans will be affected.
 Following is a comparison given by Secretary C. E. Jones of the Traffic association of the present and sug- gested rates from New Orleans to rep resentative southeastern points with which Birmingham shippers compete:

Birmingham Chosen As Center Fer ga
 Alabama Counties

Alabama Counties
 Birmingham's importance as a cen ter of malaria control is now fore most in the state, according to E. B. Johnson, assistant sanitary engineer attached to the staff of the state board of health, who Friday announced that 27 counties had been placed in his charge with Jefferson as a center of operations.
 Fromx it's position as a substation last year, Birmingham has grown until it is now recognized as the leader in this task from the standpoint of study and engineering work, Mir. Johnson said.
 Work during 1924 will show a great increase over that done during 1923 in the Birmingham district, the sanitary engineer stated. The territory placed under his control under the order an- nounced by him Wednesday includes some of the most dangerous mosquito land in the state, he asserted.
 Mr., Johnson's work during the year, according to plans announced by him, will be. concentrated on a number of important centers in various counties under his charge.
 In Greene county he will organize a campaign with view to exerting as much pressure to bring about major drainage reforms as possible. In other counties and particular points he will do similar work, both in the drainage of large swamps and wet areas and in general malaria prevention measures.
 Among those mentioned in his fore cast are Hale county, Perry county, Pickens county, Sumter county, Jef- ferson county and maintenance work in Etowah, Calhoun and Tailadesa counties,
