ceedings is impending before the SEN
ate, has asked Chief Justice White OF
the United States supreme court, tenn
porarily to relieve him Of duty.
Chief Justice White thus far has
taken no action upon the request OF
Judge Archibald. The phraseology Of
the act creating the commerce court
appear to be ambiguous as to the
power of the chief justice to relieve
q Judge Of the court from duty"
Judge Archibald has performed mono
of the duties of member Of the court
since the charges against him were
brought BY the Judiciary COMMITTEES
of the house. His trial by the senate,
under the impeachment by house, will

SAYS DR.. H|RSCH
WITH GENTlLEs
MORE AND MORE
COMMON.

Paris, France, Aug. 29.-"The inter.
marriage of Jews and gentiles Is be
coming more and more common in the
chief civilized lands" said DR.. Emil G.
Hirsch, of Chicago, In an interview
here. French Jews, for example, are
apparently losing all physical traces OF
their origin. In addition New York
anthropologist recently proved that the
Jewish physique in America changes
rapidly according to the environment.
Thus the practice Of athletics makes
the young men broader and taller and
in the third generation they lose all
traces of the pinched, suspecting ex-
preston caused by centuries Of Euro
pean oppression"
Looks to Future Philosophy.
do you believe that ultimately the
present race prejudice will die out and
that Jews and Christians will be united
in some development of the future?"
he was asked.
II like to think that Jewish ethical
tea chings will be the nucleus Of fu-
ture ethical philosophy of life," replied
DR.. Hirsch. However, so long as men
continue to be Of jealous nature and
seek to belittle the successes of others
on trumped up theories suppose there
will be an anti-Semitic prejudices. As
long as the Jews are eminent in fl
nance their enemies will invent such
ridiculous stories as that Of Jewish
financial conspiracy.
Jews Are Rapidly Absorbed.
ION the other hand, the absorption
Of the Jews into the respective ma
lions is progressing rapidly. l believe
that even Russia will see ultimately
what a power Of national growth 1t
is sitting by depressing the Jews, and,
noting what fine citizens they are in
America, will cut their moral and po-
litical bonds, thus enabling the process
Of absorption to set in there as we'll
as in other quarters Of the world"

TAX COMMISSION HERE AGAIN TODAY Will Be in Session at the
 Courthouse HANDLING INCREASES Understood Corporation Cases Are Not to Be Taken Up Until the
 Smaller Cases Are Dis
 posed of
HANDLING INCREASES

The members of the state tax commis- sion will return to Birmingham today. The commission will convene in the court house this morning at which time the remainder of the TIT cases made in this county will be taken up.
 During the week it Is expected that the commissioners will handle more than majority of the remaining cases in one way or another and that during the first few days of next deek the entire docket will be cleared The commissioners this morning will not take up any of the larger corporations, 1t is understood, be- cause it is said to be desirable to get the smaller cases off the docket before the larger cases are taken up.
 The commissioners have announced in- formally that plenty of time will be given the larger companies in which to pre- sent any objections to the assessments made as well as opportunity to appeal those cases that are made final.
 The chances are that some of the cases already made final to which objections were made and no agreement reached will be appealed during the present week. It Is stated that June 14 Is the limit in some cases, probably those tried first, and that appeal will be in order on that day. The local committee invested with power of attorney in many cases has signified the purpose of appealing those cases in- creased in which the authority has been given.
 The controversy between the committee and Governor Emmet O'Neai over the tax increases has apparently resulted only in the further cementlng of the determina ton of the local citizens to appeal every possible case to a Jury in the circuit court
 In reference to the corporation in- creases. 1t is said the larger companies will appeal the increases made against them to the juries although the corpora tions are not participating in the commit- tee work

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Atlanta Shows Appreciation

To the Editor of The AgeH Herald:
 We wish to extend to you and to the splendid people of your city our sincere appreciation of the many cour- tesies extended to us recently while in your city on our way to the conyen- ton of the Associated Advertising clubs of America at Dallas, Tex.
 Our trip was splendid success from start to finish and especially so on account of the excellent opportunities which were afforded us for viewing the many splendid cities through which we passed.
 We found on every hand a very re- markable spirit of hospitality and it would be useless for us to try to de- termine which city extended to us the most in the way of entertainment and hospitality. It will suffice for us to say that nowhere, during the entire trip. were we treated with more cour- tesy and respect than during our visit to your city, and we hope that you will. through the columns of your pa- per, extend to your many splendid cit izens for us our heartfelt thanks for your efforts In our behalf. Yours very truly,

 the singing of the first stanza of the
 ancient Latin hymn, "Pange Lingua"
 The church being small only a few hundred persons could gain admit
 tance, but vast concourse had as

 sacred host and the altar boys emerged
 from the building the Holy Name so-
 ciety, the Knights of Columbus, the
 Knights of St. Paul, the Children of
 Mary and other organizations knelt on the greensward in adoration. The grounds of the Blessed Sacrament church embrace six or seven acres and
 the procession that followed the sacred
 host and the special escort is said to
 have been the longest ever seen in the Birmingham district.
 Two altars were erected in the grounds and from each the benediction of the Blessed Sacrament was given.
 The Rev. Father Coyle was the celeb
 rant and he was accompanied by a dea-
 con and a sub b-deacon vested in daI-
 matics. The Rev. Patrick Turner pas
 tor of the Church of the Blessed Sac
 rament. acted as master of ceremonies At the second altar In the open air the
 Rev Father Devery. a Paulist, preached
 an earnest and eloquent sermon on | The Real Presence" He began by ex- plaining the significance of the Feast
 of Corpus Christi and cited passages from the gospel of St. John and from | the Epistles of St. Paul. Father Dev- cry is remembered as one of the Paul. | fsts who conducted a mission at St.
 Paurs church in Birmingham few years ago. He has a clear, strong | voice and could pc nearu yesterday by those who stood at considerable dis tance from the altar. The ceremonies
 were concluded by the benediction of the Blessed Sacrament at the altar in-
 side of the church
 1 Corpus Christi processions in public are often seen in the Catholic countries of Europe and South America. but they are somewhat rare in this country. Af- | ter the services Father Turner ex- pressed himself as greatly pleased with | the perfect decorum observed by the non Catholics who were present in large numbers as lockers on.
