RIGHT GUARD SIMS
 GETS DOWN TO WORK

Football stock at the University of Ala bama was enhanced in value three-fold yesterday afternoon, when Right Guard Sims, the Birmingham boy who caused such havoc in the Auburn line last sea- son, donned a uniform and reported for duty.
 As is known, immediately after the new session at the university was begun, Sims matriculated, but owing to business ob- ligations he was compelled to return to this city, and asked for and obtained a leave of absence. It was feared for a while that he would not be able to return this season, so when he at last showed up, there was 'hip, hip, hurrah!'' for Sims that could have been heard sev- eral blocks.

Paymaster General II. T. q. Harris.
The battleship Ohio was the most ex-
pensive craft, for it cost, to put her i'll
commission and keep her in service for
the twelve months. S714,a45 The ar
mored cruiser Colorado was also a
costly ship, s524.Oj7 having been ex-
pended on her during the fiscal year.
Admiral Schley's old flagship, the
Brooklyn, cost $500, $50 to keep in COM
mission for enc year. The cruiser Bal
timore, of Manila bay fame, required
the expenditure of 1925, 691 to keep her
in active service, and the cruiser Chica-
go, one of the first ships Of the new
navy, cost S3S1,194 to keep afloat and on
active duty. The battleship Iowa, Oil

gagged in the battle off Santiago, re-
quired the expenditure of s42S.0SS dur

that in the past fiscal year they depos-
tied with the paymasters $685., $50; they
were repaid s734,S67, which, with accu-
mulated interest on the total savings
on repayment. amounted to 1851 $50

NO EVIL IN SIZE

Management, Declares
StUyveSant Fish.

New York. Dec. 6.-Stuyvesant Fish,
formerly president of the Illinois Cen
ual railroad, was the principal speaker
tonight at the banquet of the Woman's
club of Hope lodge of Masons- at East
Orange. n. J.
Mr.. Fish spoke on the topic, Issues,
Not Men"
That there has been maladministra-
ton, not to say stealing, in many of
our great corporations, is a matter of
common notoriety, and in some cases of
positive proof" said Mr. Fish.
District Attorney Jerome has the
credit of coming the phrase, the GRIM
inal rich Would he have come nearer
the fact if he had said the anarchistic
rich?'
THE contest is no longer between
those who have and those who have not.
but between those on the one hand who
have moderately, sufficiently and even
abundantly, and on the other hand
those who through the use of trust
funds and the power incident thereto
seek by questionable practices to have
excessively. This is the issue which is
daily btought into every home in Amer
lea.
Great and repeated efforts have been
made to quiet and hush the clamor
which is rising on this subject. Such
efforts may succeed for a time, but not
in the end.
president Roosevelt seems to adhere
to the idea that there are good trusts
and bad trusts, good corporations and
bad corporations. He seems to make
classification based on SIZE Directing
TO the very large ones and favoring the
comparatively small ones. 1t strikes
me- however, that the difference be-
tween a bad corporation and a good
one whether we call It a trust or not,
lies wholly in the methods pursued by
the managers of the corporation in re-
gard alike to the public, to their en-
ployes and to their ste ckholders; and,
judging from past experiences, it is
chiefly in bad faith toward the stock
holders and dishonesty in dealing with
the public that most managers of cor
pora tons have erred"

MORGAN ASSAILS
PANAMA ROAD
Most Reckless Agency That
Ever ASsaiIed Commercial
Interests of Country.
CALLED IT LEGAL FICTION
WOULD GIVE CANAL COMMITS
SION CONTROL.
CALLED 1T LEGAL FICTION

Washington, Dec. Elm the senate to-
day Senator Morgan of Alabama de-
voted two hours to the discussion of his
resolution to secure the control of the
Panama railroad by the isthmian canal
commission. In reply TO a question from
Senator Hale, he said that he would not
seek today to secure action on the reso-
luton.
In making the inquiry, Mr.. Hale men,
toned the probability of an early mes
sage from the president on the canal
question, and suggested the wisdom of
deferring all action until it shall be re-
ceived.
MIR. Morgan spoke of the Panama
road as a legal fiction or an artificial
entity to enable this country to avoid
its responsibility as a common carrier.
If congress should enact a law requir-
ing the tearing up of the Panama rail-
road. Mr. Morgan said no creditor
could enjoin such destruction.
Mr. Morgan maintained that Mr..
Cromwell. whose several connections
with the Panama government and the
| canal commission he enumerated, was
kthe only one who benefited by this
vmanneT of managing the road.
1T gives Cromwell as absolute con-
troll of the road as if he was its sole
owner he declared.
Mr.. Morgan advocated putting the
railroad under the control of the canal
commission, although with the control
the president exercised over this COM
mission. he said, "any wild, arrogant
man who happens TO be president could
infiict incalculable injury on the coun-
try"
Mr.. Morgan finished with statement
that the Panama railway was the most
reckless agency that ever assailed the
treasury or the commercial interests of
the United States.
Let the government of the United
States no longer continue in the ship
ping business under the sea flag OF a
dummy corporation" He did not be-
lieve. he said, that the canal would be
constructed in twenty-five years.

OPPOSE METRIC SYSTEM
American Society of Mechanical En-
gineers Against Changing
Weights and Measures.

New York, Dec. 6.-That the system
of weights and measures row in use in
the United States and Great Britain
should not be supplanted by the metric
system is the opinion OF a majority CT
the delegates who are now in this city
in attendance at The convention of the
American Society of Mechanical Engi-
neeTs.
A paper on the subject prepared by
:. F. Dale not only opposed any change
in the system cf weights and measures,
but declared that the idea of further
discussion of it in congress would be
valueless; that il would be impossible TO
meet commission of the caiibre FRO
posed; that il would be a political COM
mission. dominated by president who
has tried to change thc language of the
country by an Executive order" and
that he would be better satisfied to
leave it to a commission composed Of
80. 000, 900 American LCOple.

POPE SPEAKS OF
MANY TROUBLES
Compares Church to Ship Buff
feted by Waves During
Storm.

Rome, Dec. 6.-At the consistorv
which was held today in place Of the
one previously planned, the pope recog-
nized eighty-four bishops. including the
Most Rev. James H. Blenk as arch
bishop Of New Orleans; Mgr. John B.
Morris as coadjutor bishop of Little
Rock, Ark, and Mgr. Giuseppe Aversa,
papal delegate in Cuba, as archbishop
of Sardi.
The most significant appointments
were those of ten new French bishops,
which were made without any opposi-
ton on the part of the French govern
ment. In his aIlocution. the pope said
that every day the increasing sad
storm of vicissitudes is beating down
on the church, involving great misery.
More than ever now" the pOntiff
said. the church can be compared with
a ship buffeted by the waves in the
midst Of the ocean. But our faith does
not vacillate in the least Indeed, we
are more than ever sustained by our
belief in the efficacious assistance of
Christ, who, when the time 20 succor
us comes, Will rise and command the
wind and sea to go down so that the
perfect tranquility so much desired will
beam on us.
THE greatest comfort of Catholic
ISM the pope added. was tine singular
concord which prevails throughout the
episcopacy, so fully united to us. May
God make all Catholics conform to
these most brilliant examples of their
pastors"
This imposes a sacred duty on the
Christian profession, which IS empha-
sized by the present needs of religion,
namely, that where (alluding to
Franco there is hostility against the
church, the people there should be
urged TO proceed with compact
strength, and in those regions (allud-
ing to SPAIN where hostility is threat
ened Catholics should generously sink
all personal snimosities and discussions,
and neglect no means permitted by the
law and by the Christian conscience, to
overcome the evil
1t was asserted after the ceremony
that the real reason for the change
from a public to a private COnsistOry
was that the vatican authorities feared
that an attempt might be made against
the life Of the pope at public consis-
tory. This apprehension was based on
the bomb outrage in st. Peters Nov. is,
and also on the threatening letters re-
Gently addressed to the pope.
