 GULF IN TOWN
Southern Railway Official Declares Birmingham
 Is Booming

j. M. Guip, vice president Of the southern Railway company is in Bir- mingham on trip 10 look over eondi- tions in the south. He will remain here today, leaving perhaps tonight for Washington. MT. Culp said yesterday that there was no special business at tached to his visit here as il was sim ply routine affair. He was with l. SeYier. general agent for tho executive department, yesterday at lunch at the Southern club. The visitor called on several friends here during the day.
 How is business?' queried MT. Gulp
 n answer to like question. Why l came all the way from Washington to find out how things were In Birming- ham. This is an important place for business news and l am always anxious to hear how things are moving here. Up our way the year 1912 looks very roseate. The conditions now seem to be stable and the chances are that q period of buying will start In that will bring prosperity to us all The cotton condition this year will perhaps be better than in 1911 by reason of the possible reduction in acreage That the farmers have been asked to make.
 Birmingham looks very busy The 20 story building that the American Trust is sending up looks rather en- eouraging, and I am told that Birming- ham has many good things in sight for 1912 That indicates that Birmingham is forging to the front"

FAIRFAX TESTF|ES
 ON TRUST PROBLEM


 Washington, January 5.-The inter state commerce commission committee resumed its hearings on the trust prob lem today after the holiday recess, and Edgar II. Farrar of New Orleans was an important witness
 Mir. Farrar who formerly was presi- dent of the American Bar association, told. the committee that monopoly and restraint of trade were Drought about by holding companies, by consolidation of corporations and by agreements of directors of corporations engaged in the same line of business.
 They all can be reached by the Sher- man anti-trust law he said.
 Mir. Farrar said the question of amending the sherman antitrust law was such that 1t should be undertaken only after q most careful study. He contended that every state could bar any corporation which might be in nrious to it's welfare and that Congress eonld prohibit aastate corporation from entering into interstate commerce. Louis krauthoff of New York also appeared before the committed He contended that a corporation should not be held criminal because il hel. monopolistio powers without exercisinp them. Unless public policy was af- fected. lie declared, neither Congress nor the courts had any right to inter fcre with the corporation.
