INFERIOR COURTS
 BADLY AFFECTED
By Commissions Action Relieving Recorders Court of County
 Court Jurisdiction

The two divisions of the inferior courts of Jefferson county, over which preside Judges l. H. Benners and H. B. Aber- nethy will be greatly affected by the action of the Birmingham commission yes terday relieving the recorders court of it's former jurisdiction over felony cases and preliminary hearings properly be- longing to the county courts.
 When it became known that the com missioners intended passing an ordinance to that effect yesterday afternoon, Judge H. B. Abernethy immediately went be- fore the body and protested against the resolution on the ground hat the inferior courts were already occupied with more cases than could be dispensed with and that they were greatly behind with their
 lockers as matters stand. The com missioners heard Judge Abernethy's com plaint but stated that they were not ob- ligated to do the work of the county and that furthermore, the law prescribed that felonious and other cases belonging
 to the jurisdiction of the county and
 beat courts could not be tried in the re- corders court
 Judge Abernethy stated yesterday after noon that it would be impossible for the inferior courts to handle any additional work and he is greatly perplexed over the new situation

LIMIT PROSECUTION
 UNDER NEUTRALITY

New Orleans, April 12.-In dismissing the appeal today in the case of the steamship Venus, the United States cir cult court of appeals held that the en- forcement of the neutrality laws is of necessity under the control of the fed without the approval of the proper rep resentatives of the department of justice prosecute penalty suits under these statutes.
 Albert J. Oliver brought suit for S100,- GOO in the United States circuit court in 1909 against the steamer Venus, alleging violation of the neutrality laws when that steamer cleared the port of New Or leans during the revolution in Nicaragua. As informant, Olivier sought to recover one-half the penalty, or S5o,0OO. United States District Attorney Beattie inter vened in the suit. disavowing and de- clinlng to ratify the seizure and attach ment of the Venus. The circuit court de- cided against Olivier and his appeal to the appellate court was dismissed
 The Venus was purchased by President Zelaya of Nicaragua and sailed from New Orleans in~command of Gen. Fran cisco Altschul, Bluedelds, which had been captured by She revolutonists under Juan Estrada. The Venus was prevented from attempting to retake Bluefields by United States gunboats and the little sunboat was not of any particular use to the Zelaya government after all

New York. April 12.-(SpeciaL) )-The Iron Age will say tomorrow:
 Both pig iron and finished material markets have been quiter in the past week than in any other since January While there is little change in the scale of mill operations 1t Is evident that if it is to be long maintained the stream of new orders must increase. A feeling of disappointment is appearing, but against it is the fact that even the bare hand to-mouth buying, which Is now the rule has some favorable surprises week by week
 The Hartman lines have placed 72,- 900 tons of rail, which presumably cover only part of the years require ments.
 A cooperative movement, only tenta- l tive as yet, Is on foot on the fabri- eating trade which has suffered severe | ly from the extremely low prices, not only large contracts but on much oi the ordinary steel work, let in receni months. Prices on sheets have beer | less generally maintained of late. Weakness in iron bars is more pro ounced in eastern and western mar kets. Refined iron bars have sold a $1.35, delivered in eastern Pennsyl vania. In the west the steel bar mar ket is not so firm.
 i Some railroad car orders, including 2OO0 for the Pittsburg and Lake Fri are expected this week

PLAN SETTLEMENT OF COTTON TROUBLE To Pacify Southern Ship pers and European
 Buyers

New York, April 12.-The establishment of "central office' or clearing house in this city is the latest plan evolved as a means of settling the long-existing differences over bills of ladng between American shippers and European buyers Of raw cotton.

The plan adopted was proposed ac- cording to a report by the Liverpool cot ton buyers. Local bankers are or. ,ne opinion that its acceptance will point out a definite way out of existing difficult ties and obviate the "bank guarantee'' originally demanded by London and con- tinental bankers after the issuance last year of number of forged bills of lading by southern cotton brokers.
 Today's meeting was deemed expedient fin order to formulate plans which would make 1t possible to handle the coming cot ton crop without friction, and a com mittee was appointed to outline a system

Saturday, June "a, 1911.


This week our cartoonist offers
something worthy of long and care
full study. He shows in a manner
more forceful than words, the con-
tending forces in the battle over the
Fifth Amendment to the Maine Con-
stitution-Maine, calmly confident in
the record of her accomplishments,
points out to the rash leaders of the
Destructive lawmakers what their
proposed change would mean.
Our readers may meet some of
these men who have lent themselves
TO the use of the wholesale brewers
and liquor dealers, whose active agent
appears upon his pedestal in the
background. These men are repre-
sentative of the Faithful Nineteen"
who organized at a secret session in
Augusta, with the sole purpose of de-,
stroying the prohibitory law They
represent the Maine forefront of the
opposition TO law and moral welfare
and progress Behind them is the
barrel OF the liquor interests ready
to pour forth unlimited thousands to
carry on the work of destruction.
Men of the intelligence and grasp
of public affairs of those shown con-
fronting Names billboard of facts do
not share the nosensical arguments
of the har-room habitue; they are in
il from purely selfish motives, and the
communities where they are best
known will have no doubt of it.
If the reader learns of any under
ground preparations TO overthrow the
law which has placed Maine at the
head of her sister states. he may I'M
derstand that one of these men. backed
by Rum Trust dollars. and aided and
advised by the Rum Trusts active
agent, is at the bottom of it.
Study the cartoon in Saturdays is
sue, and then ask yourself honestly
which side You are on.

Our Fishermen.
(Harper's WeeklY.)

One out of every 400 persons in the
United States is engaged in the task
of catching enough fish TO satisfy the
appetite of the remaining 1893. In 9TH
Ell words there are nearly a quarter of
a million men who catch fish not be-
cause they like the fun of it, but be-
cause they are paid for it. They catch
approximately 1000 100000 pounds of
fish a year, and this is worth all told,
upwards of $4,000. 600, or say two
thirds of the total capital invested in
the industry. A considerable portion
of the capital, over S20.000,000, is tied
up in vessels. of which a recent enum-
Grafton showed S5,115.
Maryland has by far the largest
number of professional fishermen. It's
figures are 42,S12, as against the 29.3ls
of Virginia. Maine with 16,945 and
Massachusetts with 1868 follow. and
then comes Alaska with 1906. Other
states with more than 10000 are North
Carolina, 12,045; New Jersey. 1900,
and New York, Il 500.
1t is Virginia however, that catches
the most fish. Its showing is 3IS.-
1873. 35S pounds. as against New YOrk's
22S, 092,2s5, and Alsaka's Ice, 326,990.
But Alaskas' catch is worth the most
in the market-$1O ,000. 600. or more
than twice as much as the next two.
New jersey and Virginia. Alaska
also has the most money invested in
fishing boats, something above $4,000
600. Massachusetts is a trifie under
the same figure. New York and
Maryland have invested about $1,000,
coo, and Virginia, California and
Maine all more than $1,000,000. Nir-
ginia has the most fishing vessels. 49,
200 in number. Marylands number II,
