Democratic SUBJ Commit
tee Willing To Enter
tain Musgrove Protest

Chairman r. b. Evins, charged with
holding trump session of the demo-
crate state subcommittee that they
might didge receiving a primary election
complaint to be made by adherents of
l.. B. Afusgrove, defeated presidential
candidate, Saturday struck back at his
accusers.
He invited" the Musgrove forces to
file the complaint.
what do not understand" Evins
declared, lis why they are getting so
worked up over their alleged failure to
locate our meeting. ne
I'm the first place we could not have
entertained the idea Of contest since
such cannot legally be considered until
after the official vote is declared, the
purpose of Fridays meeting.
Secondly, the usual procedure
thereafter is to file complaints with the
chairman of the committee.
Il am in my office practically all
day and II they are so anxious to pro-
test the election they can come to me
with the request that. / call the COM
mittee together to i consider their
grievances"
Filed In 1SDays
Evins explained that under the state
law election protests may be filed within
Is days after the official vote is de-
clared. He refused to state whether he
would call the committee into session
if such protests were filed at his office.
In the meantime state forces of Mus
grove were being marShaled for the
purpose of further probing state cleo
ton returns. Additional rumbles from
Mobile county where Musgrove claims
5000 fraudulent ballots were used to
gain the election of Oscar Underwood
were to the effect that further data had
been uncovered, but no authentic re-
ports had ben received by Musgrove
managers here.
These managers had been expecting
counsel of war here Saturday with
MusgrOve, who was reported on his
way from Jasper to New York city, but
the anticipated visit did not ma
terialize.
One development of Saturday was
that Musgrove lieutenants are bending
every effort to make what they term
the mobile DEAF an tissue in other
states where Underwood is candidate.
Verbatim reports of the affidavits
charging fraud were dispatched to cities
in Mississippi and the Carolinas by Phil
Painter, local representative of Mus
grove.

CHARGE
LAID TO MARTIN
Raymond Watts Succumbs
To Alleged Attack
With Auto Crank

William B. (Buck) Martin, 500
Twentieth street, south, was formally
charged with murder late Saturday aft
ernoon by Coroner j. ID. Russum as the
result of the death, shortly before 4
o'clock Saturday morning of Raymond
Watts, %, 1000 Joseph street, from
a fractured skull, said to have been
sustained in a fight Wednesday night
with Martin. Watts was taken to
Hillman hospital Immediately follow
ing the encounter and did not regain
consciousness. 2s.fe
The wounds were inflicted BY Martin
with an automobile crank, police say,
during fight that originated when
Martin found his wife with Watts in
front of the home of Josephine Lyons,
607 Twelfth street, south. After using
the crank, Martin is said to have fired
three shots from a revolver Mt Watts,
all of which went wild. e"
Varied stories regarding the circum-
stances surrounding the alteration have
been turned up at police headquarters
since the night of the fight. Martin,
police state, has denied that he used
an auto crank in the encounter. His
only weapon, he asserts, was a rock
which he picked up from the lawn. He
also denies firing a revolver at Watts,
and claims that he acted in self-de
tense as Watts attacked him with a
long knife, threatening his life.
The identity Of the woman in the
case is puzzling detectives. She de-
clares her name is Esther Shelton Mar
tin and that she was married to Martin
in November, 1922. Martin, however,
claims that she is not his wife. When
fined in police court the morning after
the fight on a charge of intoxication,
she gave the name of Esther Shelton.
Investigation into the. case was con-
Quoted by Detectives Brannon and Jones
for the police department and Saturday
J. D. Russum, coroner, be-
gan his investigation.

BOARD ON zONING
TO Be SELECTED
SOON,BBELIEVED
Special Meeting Of City
Commissioners To Be
Called This Week

Choosing board of five coming COM
missioners it expected to be the subject
of the call of special meeting of the
city commissioners early this week.
Commissioner w. E. Dickson of the
department of streets. with whose field
of work the new board will be closely
related, had tentatively set Monday for
the meeting, but postponed meeting
Of the commission Monday and the
regular meeting Tuesday may interfere
with the early handling of the matter.
All members of the commission are
ready to discuss the subject, but all
asked about it said they had not pre-
pared slate and would leave that part
of question open to Commissioner Dick
son to take the initiative.
Partisanship Undesirable
Fed up on the intense situations
that develop in reference to naming
the park board, it was indicated that a
parallel partisan warfare is not de-
sired in making up the board of coming
commissioners.
Another point brought forward Sat
urday morning at the city hall is that
the coming board may not be permanent.
Under the law it is required that the
city appoint coming board, which will
outline a program, submit their find
ings to a public mass meeting. and the
propositions thereby developed will be
submitted to the city fathers as the
expressed desire of the citizens. 1t is
possible that, this having been done,
the coming board will then automatically
pass out and the city commission from
then ON assume all functioning regard
ing the adherence to coming limita atoms.
However, it is believed to be optional
with the city to continue the coming
board or let it pass out.
To Select Expert
One of the duties of the coming board
will be the selection of experts, or ala
expert, to survey the city and make
recommendations about the proper
zones for residences, retail and whole
sale business, racial limits and othel
divisions of the municipality.
1t was pointed out Saturday that
there is close relationship betweeL
the existing park board and the EN-.
bryonic coming board, so close re-
lationship, indeed, that there may be
further delay in appointing the new Of
ficers until the park board is more
conversant with areas and work it is
to handle. o.

PINK EYE PRESENT
IN CITY, rs REPORT
Optical Malady Said To Be
Sweeping Birmingham

Pink eyes, reminiscent of 1917 train
ing camps, is present in Birmingham.
Scattered throughout the city cases are
developing. Several of the schools
have. reported a number of cases and
the authorities are doing all in their
power to curb and eliminate the
nuisance.
Not dangerous, unless neglected or
eyes are used while inflamed, it is said.
at the same time pink eye is grievous
burden to the sufferer and often takes
weeks to run its course.
No drastic action has been taken in
the matter yet, but continuance of
the spread of the malady will result in
such steps being taken that further in
lection may be halted.

MATTRESS PLANT
PLANS EXTENSION
Success Greets Efforts Of Steam
Carpet Cleaners

Extension of its manufacturer-to-
customer service on "Morris-Made" mat
tresses, through installation of mail
order department, is planned by the
Southern Steam Carpet Cleaning COM
pany.
j. ]. sAdorris, president of the South
ern Steam Carpet Cleaning company,
1431 Third avenue, north, who con-
ceiyed the idea of establishing mat
tress manufacturing plant in Birming-
ham which would duplicate the best
grades Of mattresses on the market,
and eliminate the retail profit by sell
ing direct to the customer, is delighted
with the success of his new venture.
The 'Morris-Mad mattress, according
to Mr.. Morris, is the first mattress to
be manufactured in the southern states
and sold direct to the customer.
Addition of the mattress manufac-
turing department at 1431 Third ave-
nue., north, does not mean that the car
pet cleaning and mattress renOvating
business of the Southern Steam Carpet
Cleaning company will be curtailed in
any way, according 10 Mr.. Morris. The
mattress making plant. he states, will
be operated simply as an auxiliary
service. The present production is about
40. mattresses q day
