The German note is purely formal

at the embassy, to save the rights OF

Jefferson City, Mo-, Nov. 1.-THE
supreme court of the state of Missouri
today issued a writ of custer against
the International Harvester Company
and assessed a fine of $4,000 for vio-
lation of the anti trust law.
The International Harvester Com
pany in September, 1910, was con-
victed of violating the Missouri anti
trust laws. The case was submitted
to the supreme court last April. The
effect of the decision is to prevent all
the companies which make up the In
ternational Company from conducting
further business in the state.
One of the witnesses in the Missouri
suit was George w. Perkins, of ]. P.
Morgan d Co. Perkins was the guild
ing spirit in the organization of the
International Harvester Company. The
custer suit against the company was
brought under the common law and
the Missouri antitrust law which are
broader than the Sherman antitrust
law.

TO PLACE NAVY
|. YARDS|NSOUTH
IN new SERVICE
THE POLICY OF SPECIALIZATION
WILL POSSIBLY RESULT IN
HAVING EACH STATION COVER
SOME PARTICULAR FIELD OF
NAVAL WORK OR SERVE AS A
TRAINING STATION OR BASE OF
SUPPLIES. .......
BY Associated Press.

Washington, Nov. 14.-AIthough it
has been the desire of the navy de-
partment to abolish a number Of the
smaller southern navy yards, it now
seems possible new policy of special
ization will result in the continuance
of the plants in active service. The
idea would be to have each station
cover some particular field of naval
work or serve as a training station or
the base of supplies.
Already, as a result Of recent ex-
periences, the department has decided
that hereafter all torpedo boats and
destroyers shall be re-tubed at the
Charleston. s. c.. yard. This means
that the Charleston plant practically
will be the mother yard" of torpedo
boats and consequently it will be a
very busy place in the future
There are a great many of these
little vessels in the service now and
the number in the course Of a few
years.
An illustration of what the Charles
ton yard can do was furnished re-
Gently when one of the torpedo boats
bound for New York to participate in
the naval rendezvous, smashed a CYL
inder and put in there. The Charles
ton mechanics agreed to replace the
cylinder in one-third the time and at
one sixth the cost demanded by the
builders of the vessel
The Washington yard was turned
into an ordnance factory some time
ago and the satisfactory result of this
experiment, combined with the expe-
riences at Charleston, is expected to
result in the policy to other smaller
plants to be favorably considered.

Washington, Nov. 14.-President Taft

It is said the president will vigor-

is lnstituting Some Reforms

The change in pace is generally
credited to Chief Justice White. His
most potent rule in this direction is
regarded to be the one recently adopted
reducing the time for oral arguments
before the court. Instead of four
hours for each case, as in the past,
now only three hours is given to the
most complicated cases and those
arising under the o-called criminal
appeals act, those certified from the
circuit courts of appeals and those in
volving only the point of jurisdiction
mere hour and a half is accorded
to the hearing.
It is predicted that memorandum
opinions "by the court rather than
extended discussions by a member OF
the tribunal will become more COM
mon as a result of changed conditions,

 Jefferson demands better roads and more of them than she can boast at present. The majority of people do not know how far Montgomery has sur passed us in this respect The is- suance of bonds to the amount of $1,000,000, of course, is to be the cause of a large responsibility being laid on the shoulders of the county, but such is always the case with any big undertaking, and we should not, there fore. have any trepidation over this one.

BANQUET LAST NIGHT

At the Hillman hotel yesterday morn-
 ing 53 agents of the United States Fidelity
 and Guaranty company of Baltimore lis-
 tened to an address upon their work by President John R. Bland of Baltimore. The agents were invited here to meet
 the president and other general officers in the first annual convention held by
 that company in this state. They gath
 cred from all parts of Alabama and
 completed the visit with banquet last | night at the Hillman.
 l The address of President Bland was fol- | lowed by other talks by the general offi- | cers who are here with the chief execu | tive. In addition, the meeting was open for discussion from any of the agents. The meeting lasted through all the fore
 noon and was productive of much good among those who attended. Various phases of the business were taken up and handled in an instructive way by
 the officers, whose familiarity with the work served to give the agents valuable pointers.
 After the adjournment of the meeting yesterday afternoon the officers were taken in automobiles and shown few points of interest about the city which
 could be reached quickly. They drove
 to Ensley and through the South High
 lands and expressed their amazement at the progressiveness of Birmingham. q have heard a great deal of Birming- ham," remarked President Bland, but I cannot say that I was expecting such
 cosmopolitan place here. Our results in this state have always been to my mind rather above the average, but I can account for 1t after having spent two delightful days among the people of the largest city in Alabama. q have nothing but the warmest praise for Birmingham and thanks for the hos pitality which has been extended to our officers and myself since having come here"

 was held in the banquet room of the Hill man. It was attended by about 75 men,
 many of whom delivered short talks. The advisory committee here. composed of Mir Harding, General Clarke, Webb Crawford, Henry B. Gray and others.
