STEELE LOOKED INTO
 P0STOFF|CE FRAUDS Says Trip Did Not Concern
 Grocers' Suit RETURNS FROM THE EAST Local Special District Attorney Had Assignment Way Down East Given Him By Department of Jus
 uce-TaIks of Trip
RETURNS FROM THE EAST

After visiting practically all the New England states on an assignment from tho department of justice, N. L. Steele. sps- cial district attorney, returned to Bir- mingham yesterday. He has been en- gagged in looking after some details con- nected with postal frauds in this state which carired him to Erie, Pa., Boston, New York. Portland, Me, and many other smaller places In New England He was accompanied by six postoffice in- spectors from Washington, gathering data which Is to be used in the proseou- tion of some men in this state who are said to have used the mails to defraud.
 While MT. Steele would not admit it, he is said to have been also looking into the Wholesale Grocers case and other
 matters before the department here. It was learned yesterday that the in- quiries of MT. Steele and the bevy of postoffice inspectors were in regard to some operations of a man in Fort Payne
 whose arrest was effected in that town several weeks ago by local officers. The postal department and the depart ment of justice have both announced of flcialy that strong efforts were to be made in the prosecution of the postal
 frauds which are said to have been un- covered in this state. The extended trip of MT. Steele and the inspectors indicates
 only mildly that the most active efforts
 are being put forth to weave a net
 around those accused.
 In speaking of his trip yesterday, Mr.
 Steele said he could not give any state
 ment detailing it, but that 1t was on de- rartment matters and In regard to pos- | tai violations. He said every possible courtesy had been shown him in New
 England and that he had a most delight full trip.
 While I cannot talk of government business said MT. Steele, "I can say that Birmingham Is the one town on l every tongue in New England. The bare mention of the fact that I was from Bir- mingham was sufficient to open the homes and hearts of these New Eng flanders to me. It seemed that everyone in that section of the country had heard in various ways of this humming city. l
 was piled with inquiries about the growth as shown by the census returns of Bir- mingham. l did not fail to scatter host of good things about Birmingham among those people. They are very kind to folks from the south and seemed desirous of duplicating the well known and prover- bial hospitality of this section. I have nothing to say but the best for the way people in the east receive people from
 the south. To my mind 1t suggests . rapid and absolute abolition of sectional ism and foreshadows the undeniable fact that America Is too small for the sections to be divided. Where the greatest con- cern in the civil war was manifested against us 40 years ago, find the people changed absolutely, and they receive us with a warm-heartedness rivaling . southern reception.

This sport is one of the finest, and it Is remarkable what firm friendships are formed at every field trial through the sympathies that exist between men who understand the nature of dog and cul- tivate the understanding. It was this way that came to know my friend. MT. Ash ford, and it was through this medium that I came to know your distinguished citizen, Judge Zell Gaston, whom I met for the first time today, after having had correspondence with him.
 MT. Johnson also related how he be- came acquainted with Emerson Hough, the now famous author, who was sent to report the result of the International Field trials held about 27 years ago at Chatom, Ontario, and how friendship was formed.
