 sary, but in this campaign we are met ;n the platforms of our adversaries, Inc democrats, by the proposition that me protective tarit Is unconstitutional and we may, therefore. assume that Tn the opinion of the democratic party no tar- if which does protect or which Is drawn to protect ought to remain on the statute books. Now if this declaration Of the platform means anything. we must accept 1t as indicating an intention to radically change our economic policy. and that makes certain the disturbances of busl- ness, the frightening of capital. the clos ing of factories and the coming of hard times
 Now, the distinguished leader of the democratic party, Governor Wilson, has not dwelt with any tremendous emphasis upon the provisions of the democratic platform that declares a protective tariff unconstitutional, and he has hastened to assure the business community that if the change comes. and if the tariff is to be reduced it must be done in such a way as not to interfere with business. We cannot assume that the leader of the democratic party is to depart from the course of the majority in Congress In- deed. the legislation of Congress. so far as it was democratic seemed to have Mir Wilson's full approval and we are there fore. able to. gauge what he regards as legislation that will make the transition and yet not hurt business by reference to i the tariff bills of the late Congress.

 Col Otto F. Stifel called President Taft by long distance telephone, but the connection was bad, and he could not make the President understand Gov ernor Hadley's proposition. The Presi- dent told Colonel Stifel to submit the proposition in writing, or to go at oncc with 1t to Washington, where the Pres ident would meet him.
 All this was happening while the hall. where the meeting took place, was crowded to the doors with voters, eager to hear the governors expected declara . tion on the national question.

 The bride-to-be is the daughter of the late H. R. Johnson, who removed from Columbus, Miss. to Birmingham r or IS years ago. The Johnsons were among the most prominent Columbus families. Miss Eloise has sojourned abroad during the past few years Last winter she spent in Birmingham as the guest of her aunt Mrs. James B. Head, on Sycamore street.

The Birmingham Rail- way, Light and Power company. when expected to test the franchise proposi- ton, but nothing was ever done. It is said that the Birmingham Water Works company will take advantage of every legal protection to transact its business. The company officials are not dogmatic about the proposition. They simply say that the rates are lowered. they have a contract from the city commissioners 10 charge only that amount of money for water, and will not change 1t.
 The commissioners yesterday were not inclined to go into the details of the very interesting problem that confronts them. Commissioner Weatherly was in- formed by citizen that the company proposed to charge the contract rates In the bills for October. He was asked what was to be done. He very frankly answered: T do not know at this time" tr
 Commissioner Dane was equally as unwilling to make4a statements about the proposition. They both realize the very delicate position that confronts the commissioners It Is certain, however that the city will pass some kind of an ordinance attempting therein to con- trol the rates and fix them like the old contract rates Yet the city has two such ordinances now, it is asserted. One of them was introduced by Judge Lane, it is understood.

 also to refuse to recognize the authority Of an Irish parliament. He was followed by many men who have become noted leaders in the campaign against home rule and these were succeeded by thou sands of the rank and file of the Orange men and unionists in the northern pro- ynces of Ireland.
 Religious services preceded the signing of the covenant and services of simi- lar nature took place in many churches throughout the counties of Ulster. Un- doubtedly the arrangements whereby ths signing of the document was treated as a solemn religious obligation exercises a restraining influence on the bellicose Orangemen while the humorous view taken of the ceremony by nationalists tended to diminish their hostility.
 The aspect of the city, however. throughout the day was decidedly mar tial The air resounded with the tramp of well drilled civilians going and coming from the city hall where the covenant was signed while bands played patriotic airs.
 From noon until late tonight signatures were attached at the rate of 300 every minute and half
 Carson Dominant Figure
 Sir Edward Carson, who has announced his willingness to stand at the forefront of the battle until victory is won-how- over fought out-was the dominant figure of the day. After a dinner given in honor of the occasion he received congratula- tory address from the English Protestant associations. Then, accompanied by members of the Ulster committee and unionst members of parliament who have been prominent in this campaign, he went to the Donegal quay to take the steamer for Liverpool. where he will attend big anti-home rule demonstration Monday.
 From the Ulster club to the quay side Sir Edward and his party were escorted by a torchlight procession through inl- mense throngs cheering enthusiastically As the steamer made it's way down the Lough every eminence on shore was H. luminated by beacon fires.
 Would Not Shrink From Fight
 Prior to embarking Sir Edward deliv- cred a speech, saying he did not know under what circumstances he would re- turn to Belfast If 1t were to be for peace he preferred it, but if it were to be fight he would not shrink.
 We have taken a step today he added, which has put our enemies in such difficulty that tonight they are asking what on earth are the unionists going to do. Our enemies had better make up their minds on one thing. namely. not to interfere with Belfast"
 Priorto this he had made a speech from the baloncy of the Ulster club, where under a blaze of searchlights he re- viewed the march of the unionist clubs.
 Great crowds assembled at the quay side and from the steamers deck Sir Edward said:
 While I am in England and Scot land fighting your battle 1 ask that you keep the flag fiying-no surrender"

 The Texas reflneries. MT. Fordyce sets forth, were consolidated under the name of the Magnolia Petroleum company, in which according to testimony, John D. Archbold and H. c. Folgar, Jr., are large stockholders, and whose bonded indebtedness was until recently held by the Standard oil company of New York.
 It is significant. says MT. Fordyce. that the New York company continued to hold the bonds of the Magnolia com pany until April 1. 1912, when the in- vestigation of the department of jus tice had already commenced

Archbold. president of the New Jersey company, and the fact that Messrs Archbold and Folger, the presi- dents of the two most important and most potentially competitive companies, are borrowing money from the New York company on joint account indi- cates a decided degree of harmony in the management of these companies. It has been proven that the marketing companies that were formerly subsid- iary to the New Jersey company and the New Jersey company itself, main tains with utmost strictness the terri torial division that they had before the dissolution decree. It has been proven that they supply their marketing sta tions from the refineries most advant- ageously located to such stations, re- gardess of the ownership of these re- fneries.
 We have also shown that the pipe lines are managed for the common use of all the subsidiary companies and no others and that the Union Tank line has practically identical contracts with all the supposedly independent companies, all executed on or about the same date"
 Other actions which were taken prior to the date of the supreme courts de- cision were intended to and did limit the decree. Mir. Fordyce said. These ac- tions are cited in the memoranda.
