London Papers Hint at
Says 1t Would Be COWardice to
Leave Pekin.

London, September 1, 1920 a. MIN the
absence of further news from China, the
papers are again filled with discussions
of the Russo-American proposals, which,
50 far as may be gathered, from the rep
re sensations of opinions in the various
European capitals, are calculated to sub
ject the unity Of the allies to an excsed-
ingly severe and dangerous test.
In Germany especially those proposals
are so dramatically opposed to Emper or
Williams policy that they have produced
something like CONSERVATION. AS the
Daily News editorially remarks: Count
Won Waldersee was assuredly not sent TO
assist in restoring the Empress Dowag
err
1t Is recognized on all sides that Ger
many's decision is the pivot of the mat
ter. Emperor William intended by des
patching Count Won Waldersee to have
the master hand in the Chinese settle
ment. Russia has taken the wind out OF
that officer sails AMI Is now posing as
the friend and protector of China.
The morning papers express the great
est suspicion OF the Intentions OF Russia.
The Times editorial which fairly repre-
sents the opinion of all says:
1.-The advantages Of Russia policy are
not manifest; and it is very doubtful
whether it will recommend itself to pow
ers like England and Germany that have
large commercial interests in the estab-
lishment of stable and progressive gov
ernment to place the reactionary clique
which has impeded all progress and de-
velOpment in China in recent years.
Negotiation with Ii HING Chang
would be a conformation CT government
crimes and the throwing away of all the
advantages gained by the occupation of
! Pekin.
fMuch mischief may already have been
done by the hesitation to enter the for
hidden city. 10 withdraw from Pekin
would be interpreted as proving not only
that the allies are towards but that they
are hopelessly divided. 1t may be that
some Of the powers VIII withdraw; but
that does not imply that others are bound
to leave Pekin and to acquiesce sin the
rest grafton of government guilty OF a
gross international crime.''

HUGH MORROW IS
 OUT FOR THE SENATE Announced His Candidacy For
 the Office Last Night, RISING YOUNG ATTORNEY
Now Two Cornered Race With Sheriff O'Brien as His Opponent-Pratt Delegation Will Support A. U.
 Reilley For Legislature

Hugh Morrow, the we'll known young att torney announced last night that he would be a candidate for state senator be- fore the county convention tomorrow Mir. Morrow is one of the ablest and most successful of the younger members of the Birmingham bar, and if he should receive the nomination for the state senate no one could poll a larger vote, and if elected, of which there could be no doubt, he would be a most creditable representative in the upper house of the representative of the wealthiest and most populous county III the state. During the campaign that closed with the primary election last Sat urday MT. Morrow was one of the most ardent and active of Senator Morgan's sup porters and made number of speeches in the interest of the venerable senator in different parts of the state.
 In making the announcement of his can ddacy MT. Morrow said:
 Many of my friends throughout the county during the last six or eight weeks have urged me to become a candidate for the state senate. At that time they real ized that the policy of the gentlemen who had Senator Morgan's campaign in charge was to QlSCOuTdBe ally pIOSpeCllNO NehiuA date from announcing for that office. They insist now that in view of such policy 1t was generally understood by them that l should make the race for the state senate after the primary of last Saturday, and de- sire to know of me whether 1 would accept the office if the convention should see fit to nominate me. You may state that If the democracy of Jefferson county, in their convention next Saturday, deem it wise to nominate me as their candidate for the state senate, I will accept the honor con- ferred on me and will endeavor to show .my appreciation of the same by serving them to the best of my ability"
 The announcement of MT. Morrow brings two candidates for the state senate into the race, Sheriff Frank P. O'Brien having announced for that office in the Age-Herald of last Sunday morning. So for that office.
 The Pratt City delegation to the county convention tomorrow will support A. J. Riley, mining engineer for the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway company at Pratt City, for the legislature. There are about a dozen candidates for representative, from which number the county convention will select six candidates to represent Jeffer- son county in the next general assembly of Alabama.

PRESIDENT POWELL
Says Reports are More Encouraging
 For Strikers

Atlanta, Ga, April 19.-President Powell of the Order of Railway Photographers said tonight that his advices with reference to the strike of his men on the Southern were more encouraging than at any time for several days. He was informed by his men during the day that several factories in North and South Carolina will be com pelled to shut down in day or two if they did not receive coal, the strike, he claimed, having interferred with the usual delivery of fuel. MT. Powell says the strike of the operators on the Northern Alabama, a branch of the Southern, is eff fective. The close of the first week of the strike finds the Southern officials express ing the usual indifference to the matter They have discontinued several small tele- graph stations and established agents and operators at places which were formerly only sidings This results in some cases in the trains having longer runs between points of communication by wire. On the Asheville division, for instance. Black Mountain, Campobello and Terrell were discontinued as telegraph stations there is no night operator at Bridgeport, Tenn. ; night operators have been put on at Nor gantown and Newport, Tenn, and Conover has been made a telegraph station.

 "Eijah'' and "Meisterslnger'' were re- hearsed with great care, MT. Guckenberger giving especial attention to expression. The next full rehearsal will be on Tuesday of next week.
 A fiash-light picture was made of tho chorus night, and copies will be ready for distribution next week.
 Many members of the chorus have sea- son tickets for sale, and it is understood that the patronesses are actively at work selling tickets. The season tickets are good for reserved seats. Tickets for single con- certs will not be on sale until the day of the performance.

WILL NOT AFFECT
 REALTY COMP ANY
Attorneys Give Out Statement Relative to Decision in
 Morris Case.

The recent decision of the supreme court in the case of Morris vs. the Elyton company, ct aI., according to the attorneys
 for the Birmingham Realty company will have effect on that company.
 Former Governor Jones of Montgomery,
 and Alex T. London, counsel for the latter | company, gave out the following statement yesterday afternoon relative to the matter: ''The persons who formed the Birmng- ham Realty company own over 9.7 per cent of all the assets, rights and stock of the Elyton Land company and the acts and doings of that company, which are sought to be set aside on tecnica1 grounds, have been directly assented to by over 97 per cent of the stockholders and of the remain ing per cent, Mrs. Morris being the only
 one who is not estopped to question in any
 wise the validity of the transactions, con-
 tracts and debts, out of which arose the
 late foreclosure and sale of the property.
 "The sale to the Elyton company is con-
 fessedly valid as to this 97 per cent. of
 persons interested in the Elyton Land com
 pany. The latter company was insolvent
 and necessarily had to be wound up. The
 bondholders and stockholders who formed the Birmingham Realty company, while willing to pay Mrs Morris estate a fair share of value for her stock, have made up their minds not to pay more than such fair share. They have been unable to
 agree as to what is just, and have deter
 mined to let the matter take its course in the courts There is no possible danger to any one who has bought property, and whatever may be the outcome, 97 per cent. of the assets of the Elyton Land company
 must pass to the Birmingham Realty com
 pany, which represents the rights of the Elyton Land company, and it's stockhold-
 CTS and security holders, and, of course,
 must and will protect all who have deeds or titles from it."

The primary subcommittee of the Jef- ferson county democratic executive com mittee met yesterday to check up accounts and to attend to few other matters that required to be settled before the meeting of the committee today.
 The committee holds that according to precedents the managers of the election are not entitled to compensation for the services rendered, and will not therefore be paid, for the days work.

It is believed that the amount refunded will be about 20 per cent of all the money collected.
