gestion that the board appoint Supt. Condon to the vacant post of school clerk at S1 per year.
 With the night school courses shortened in total or days, the first half of the night school year is al- most completed and the new ap- pointments will take effect for the other half of the year.
 Action on Mayor Hayes sugges- ton was deferred at the last board meting three weeks ago to give time for the study of the legal as- poets. A committe consisting of President John Walsh, Commis- sloner Harry Beardsley and Supt. Condon was appointed to look into the situation's legal points. Some doubt was expressed as to the leg ality of having one man hold both poses, but it is believed that study of the city chirter has revealed that the mays suggestion can be followed.

 A new verdict of guilty will mean another apeal to the United States supreme court which re- versed the verdict of the Scotts- boro jury that found six of the ne- groes guilty and prescribed the death penalty. Patterson was found guilty at 8 second trial but the verdict was thrown out by the then presiding judge.
 Judge William w. Callahan in charging the jury yesterday failed to tell the jury how it could bring in a verdict of not guilty until the commission was called to his atten- tion by the defense attorneysl He said Patterson could be found guilty and given death or found guilty and given a prison term.
 Samuel Leibowitz, chief defense attorney, took numerous excep- tlOnS, pdrtlCuldIly to th0 S.oSH5 argument of Attorney Engral Thomas E. Knight, Jr. He protest cd Knights language, saying it was an appeal to pass on and pre- judice. Knight acknowledged that 1t was and Leibowitz asked for a mistrial. He was overruled.

News of the city's intention to ad- vertise and sell properties all along the line leaked out the past few days and the result is that several landlords rushed in and paid Q total of $28.000 back taxes on Wednesday.
 The local officials feel that they have exhausted patience with many owners of valuable rent-producing property who have been pocketing rents and raising the cry that they couldn't pay the taxes. "This bus- mess of landlords milking property dry and then letting the city hold the bag is not to be tolerated" it was declared. Furthermore, it IS claimed, big property owners have scoffed at the talk of drives feel ing that they were meant only for the little fellow" and that the city would not have the courage to tackle them. The drive is now di- rected at the "big fellows"

gangs to murder the nine innocent
Negro boys.
Jury commissioners, the Secretary
of State, and others of the white
court officials of Alabama will be put
on the witness stand by tile I. l.. d.
to prove that Negroes have been SyS-
tematically and Illegally excluded
from jury service, when the trial,
opens, it was announced.
The white officials will be called by
the defense in support Of motion
to quash~ the indie Jments against the
nine boys on the grounds of exclu-
sion of Negroes from the grand jury
that handed them down. Twenty
Negroes from Jackson and Morgan
counties, qualified to serve on grand
and petit juries, will also be called.
Rumors of maneuver by Attorney
General Thomas r. Knight, Jr., to
call Negroes on the petit jury to try
the case, then excuse them from
service" are current here. This would
be repetition OF the move made in
Atlanta, Ga, in the Herndon case,
when, after the LID. raised the is
sue of Negro exclusion from the jury,
three or four Negro business men
were called, but not permitted to
serve. The LID. will expose this
maneuver, as it did in Atlanta, if it
is attempted, it was announced. and
will continue its fight for the right
Of Negroes to actually sit and serve
on grand and petit juries.
Knight himself, however, an
nounced that he would fight the case
out on the ground that Negroes we're
not persons of sound Judgment"
Although Knight has been forced
TO consent to the removal Of the boys
from the death cells of Kilby Prison
where they are illegally held, to Bir-
mingham County Jail, where the at
torneys will have the first opportu-
nifty to talk to the boys without the
supervision of armed guards this
move has not yet been made. The
order must be signed by the sheriff
of Jackson County, Judge Alfred K.
Hawkins, who was master Of cere-
monies at the lynch-hearing in April
1881, and Judge James E. Horton OF
Decatur who plans to fill the same
role in Decatur. SO far, all these
signatures have not been obtained.
The trial itself, If it is held in De-
catur, will probably start with the
picking OF the jury on wednesday,
March 20, as the hearing on the mo-
ton to quash will occupy at least two
days. The trial itself is expected to
last from three to four weeks.

MARX has attracted followers who never read or

writes this learned MARKHAM scholar.
Of workers all the world His works have been trans

difficult theory Matched out of individuals head which
is ineligible only to bourgeois professors.
Why is it that the masses who have read Marx

expression of the most vital everyday needs of the workers.
needs which are direct of the position of the work
in capitalist society.
'When an idea sezes the it becomes power"
wrote Marx. Marxism has become power.
1t will be hard to find brighter gem of ignorance than
the statement that Marx understood nothing of ontsock
companies labor unions etc. For it is Marx who set down
Capital and for all the nnermost workings of the
entire capitalist system. Today than Marks

closed. But this does not present a
correct picture, because among these
are some of the biggest banks in the
larger cities Of the country.
The large banking institutions of
Detroit, Cleveland, Baltimore ana
Portland, Me, are closed tight.
1t is now clear that depositors
stand to lose much more than the
six billion dollars estimated as the
maximum last week. From present
indications as the liquidation OF
some 1000 closed banks proceeds, the
losses will be nearer the ten billion
mark-almost one-fourth Of the en-
tire banking deposits of the United
States.
