TAX COMMISSION
TO BE NAMED SOON
C. A. Avant Is Birmingham Man
Who Is an Applicant for
Place on Board
That Governor Henderson this week
will name the members of the stale tax
commission is confidently expected.
Word comes from Montgomery that
though the governor has deemed it
necessary to study the personnel of
'.h»- applicants very closely, he hns
l>ra< tically made up his mind.
Birmingham is apparently deeply in
terested in the pending appointments
not only on account of the fact that
its people pay one-eighth of the tax
ation of the state, but because one of
its citizens. C. A. Avant, is an appli
cant for one of the three positions on
the commission. Local prediction la that
, *'ir, Avant will be appointed.
- It was reported yesterday that Ed
ward Doty of Andalusia would be made
a member of the board. Other strong
candidates are Henry P. White of Cen
’ terville, C. Brooks Smith, former <*tat*
auditor, and John S. Mooring, present
chairman of the commission.

JOHN R. LAWSON
Given Life Sentence for
Death of Sheriff During
Strike Riots
Trinidad. Col., May 3.—John R. Law
son. member of the international execu
tive board of the United Mine Workers
of America, was found guilty of murder
in the first degree today in connection
with the death at Ludlow, Col.. October
25, 1913, of John Nimmo, a deputy sher
iff.
I AW son was sentenced to spend the re
mainder of his life at hard labor in the
Colorado penitentiary.
Under the Colorado statutes, the jury,
which had been deliberating since Sat
urday night, was empowered to return
a sentence either of death or life im
prisonment. Thirty days were given at
torneys for the defense to file a mo
tion for a new trial. Lowson w’as re
leased termpororily in custody of his
counsel. He talked quite philosophically
of the verdict. He said:
"They may get mo. but they can't
defeat the cause of labor. I’m not wor
rying about myself; it's the fight I have
been making for the workingmen that
T am interested in—and that will go
ahead. Even for me, it s a long way to
the penitentiary. My attorneys will not
give up until everything possible has
been done to save me."
Commenting on the verdict, Horace N.
Hawkins, chief counsel for defense, said:
"I do not believe tne verdict ever will
be sustained. It is contrary to the evi
dence. I shall tight thin case as long
as there are courts in which to fight."
Case Sets Precedent
Denver, Col., May 3.—Fred Farrar, at
torney general of Colorado, commenting
upon the conviction of John R. Lawson,
said:
"I think this is the first case on rec
ord where a leader of a union has been
convicted of crimes of violence arising
from the conduct of a strike. The McNa
mara case was based on a confession. The
Lawson case was not.”
