 The young mans father is the super ntendent of the paupers farm for the county, and the tragic death of the boy was a great blow to his parents and friends. The remains were buried today aear Logan, in the western part of the county.
 The remains of Mrs. c. S. Biggers, who died at a Birmingham hospital while un- dergong an operation for throat trou- ble, were carried today to the old home near Joppa, where they were inferred In the family burying ground. Mrs. Bggers was a highly esteemed lady, and had lived in Cullman for the past three years, where her husband is engaged in the livery and stock business, being presi- dent of the Biggers-Ryan Stock Co.,, of this place. Mrs. Biggers had been con- fined to her bed for the past six weeks, and was carried to Birmingham for the operation just the day before she died.

Head of United States Steel Cor
pOratiOn Sends Notice of
Retirement.
DIRECTORS MAY DECIDE
TO NAME NO SUCCESSOR
Possible That Chairman Gary
Will Take Over Manifold
Duties.

NEW YORK Jan. S.-William e.
| Corey. president of the United States
Steel corporation, resigned today, and 1t
is probable he will have no successor.
His resignation was announced late this
| afternoon by Ebert H. Gary. chairman
OF the corporation, to take effect at the
pleasure of the directors. He carries
with him tho best wishes Of all connect
ed with the corporation. says the state
ment issued and leaves with feelings OF
loyalty to The corporation and all its
interests. but nothing Is said Of his plans
for the future.
The first president of tho United States
steel corporation was Charles NJ.
Schwab, who. following his resignation,
became president of the Bethlehem Steel
company. Mr., Corey has served seven
years. Former Judge Gary's statement
says. in part:
Seven Years Service.
after moro than seven years OF faith
full service as president OF the United
States Steel corporation. William E.
Corey has rendered his resignation, to
of directors. The resignation will be
presented to the board for consideration
and action in due time and the finance
committee will then present its recon-
ter.
"It is the present opinion of the mem
bers OF the committee that there should
not be elected a successor In the immedi-
ale future, II at all.
THE experience and talents Of Mr.
Corey have best fitted him to take charge
OF the commercial and manufacturing de-
partments, and his attention has been
largely confined TO that service. How
ever, as the manufacturing companies
arc thoroughly equipped with the very
best talent, including such as the above
mentioned branches need, the strength OF
the organization will lot be diminished.
The finance committee may recommend
the election of a vice president or two
take especial charge of different depart
ments. 1t is intended TO strengthen the
whole organization in every respect
practicable and useful.
Relations Are Pleasant.
1.-The relations between Mr Corey and
the members OF the board and finance
committee. respectively. as well as all
the officers of the United States Steel
corporation and subsidiary companies.
have been most pleasant and agreeable.
Mr.. Corey sewers his connection with
feeling OF loyalty to and friendship for
the CORPORATION and all its interests. and
takes with him the best wishes of all
who are connected with the companies
interested referred to-"
Something like a year ago the powers
of the chairman of the finance commit
tee and chairman of the board OF direc-
tors. both of which Mr.. Gary is. were
istrative affairs of the corporation. but
the details of executive management
Unless another president is named,
therefore, or another chairman succeeds
Mr.. Gary. he becomes chief in authority
over all provinces of the largest corpora
tion in the world.
So far as could be learned, Mr., Corey
was not in town tonight and no state
that he left town over the holidays and
had not returned.

IN NEW ENGLAND
Cns City in Every State in Group Sees
System Inaugurated.


BOSTON. Jan. 3.-Postal savings
banks were opened in one town IN
every New England state today, and
while the volume OF business transacted
was not large. IL is reported to have
more than fulfilled the expectations of
the local postal officials.
Norwood, Mass; Bristol, +. l.; Ber-
lin, n. H.; Rumford, Me-; Montpelier,
VI, and Ansonia. Conn, were the towns
chosen for the experiment in New Eng
land. At Norwood up to noon about
twenty five accounts, averaging 50 each,
had been opened. The largest amount
of business in Norwood is expected to
be done evenings.
At Bristol the postal clerks were kept
busy. The largest single deposit was
$50. Several school children bought
postal deposit stamps at 10 cents each,
for ten of which an account for ST may
be opened
Although but few residents of Berlin
knew of the opening of the postal bank
there, more than twenty accounts had
been opened up TO 4 CLOCK. At Rum
ford. a number of deposit accounts
were opened and large quantity of
deposit stamps were sold TO the school
children.
At Montpelier. VT, there were only
Il few depositors during the day but
the postmaster expressed the belief that
as soon as the people became familiar
with the operations of the postal bank,
they would give II good patronage

MULTIPLEX TELEPHONY Is
PAST EXPERIMENT STAGE

WASHINGTON. Jan. General Allen.
chief signal officer OF the army, today
announced that as a result of recent
experiments by the signal corps, multi
pleX telephony is now practicable, where
by several independent conversations
may be carried on simultaneously over
the same wire circuit,
Another important discovery. calculated
to double the capacity Of existing tele-
phone lines, is that il is no longer nee
essary TO use two wires. or what is now
known as the return wire for efficient
telephony. but that single wire with
silent earth" connections can be used
for multipleX telephony.
That the new system Is practicable,
and that II has long passed the expert
mental stage, is evidenced by the fact
that a single-wire circuit between the
research laboratory of the signal CORPS
at the bureau of standards. on the
heights north OF Washington. and the
signal corps construction laboratory is
now being used for the independent
transmission of two4 simultaneous tele-
DhcniC converse tionS.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Thc bank
guarantee laws of Oklahoma, Ne
braska and Kansas were declared con
stitutional today by the supreme
court Of the United States, and thus
the fight over the policy of guaran-
teeing, through the state, deposits
such a policy, Opinions of the court
were announced by Justice Holmes.
He said the main objections to the
laws was that the assessment of banks
by the state, in order TO create fund
TO guarantee deposits in other banks
took private property of one bank for
the private use of another without
compensation.
Justice Holmes admitted that there
might be taking of private prop
ertv without return TO pay debts of a
failing rival business, but he said
there were more powerful considera-
tions on the other side Of the question.
''lu the first place. he said, sit
is established by cases that an ulterior
public advantage may Justify com
paratively Insignificant taking of pri-
vato property for what, in its imme-
date purpose. is "A private use. it
would seem that there may be other
cases besides the everyday one of
taxation. in which the share of each
pa.ty in tnc benefit of scheme of
mutual protection is insufficient COM
pelsatioa for the co.rclative burden
that it is compelled to assume. At
least, if we have case within the
reasonable exercise OF police power,
as above explained, no more need be
said.
The justice then proceeded to JUS
iify the laws under the police
powers. The police powers, he said
may be put forth in aid of ''what is
sanctioned by usage, or held by the
prevailing morality or strong and
Irep0nderant opinion TO be greatly and
Immediately necessary to the public
welfare. I hc laws came within this

SAYS HIGHER WAGES
JUSTIFY ADVANCE
Pennsylvania Gives Increase in
Pay as Reason for Demand
ing Higher Tariffs.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Wage ad-
vances aggregating S7,095,047 annually
and the asserted necessity for Increased
income IN order to meet tho public de
mand for improved operating facili
ties, arc the principal arguments of the
Pennsylvania lines cast of Pittsbure
in support Of their proposed increase
IN class freight rates. These arguments
are set forth in full in brief filed
with the interstate commerce commits
sior by counsel for the roads.
The brief shows that since January
J., 1910, the scale of wages paid by the
Pennsylvania lines east of Pittsburg
has been advanced about S.15 per cent,
while the proposed increases in freight
rates, if allowed to become effective,
would increase the revenues of the
roads 1872 per cent of the gross freight
and passenger earnings of the year
1909 1t is pointed out that the in
crease in the wage scale constitutes
permanent advance in the operating
expenses Of the lines, and, il is urged
that it furnishes on its face Ga justifi-
cation for an advance in rates. -
1t Is argued by the attorneys that un-
less il he admitted that the present
rates are excessive by at least 81 ,000,-
900 year-the additional amount in
round figures paid in wages-the pro-
posed advances in rates must be regard
ed as reasonable. II is maintained that
tie present rates are TOO low. 1t fur
thermorc is argued that the rates, en-
tirely irrespective of the advances in
wages, should, in justice, be allowed.
