changes in patent office procedure
were recommended to Congress to-
day in a special report by the econ

cipal recommendations were:

application exclusive of two years
which 1t may be in litigation; an In
crease from SIS to $50 for the filing
fee; change in procedure to permit
an inventor to appeal from the aug
mented board Of examiners in chief
directly to the court Of appeals Of
the District Of Columbia instead of
the commissioner Of patents and in
creases in salaries and force amount
ing to $236,OOO a year.
The commission was not authoria-
ed to report on the proposal for =
court of patent appeals.

NEWS FROM THE LIVE WIRES

nulled as amounting to a rebate.
On the theory that Chicago stock
yard business was interstate COM
merce, the interstate commerce COM
mission began an action In the COM
merce court to enjoin the Union
stock Yards 4 Transit company. the
Chicago Junction Railway company,
which operates the transit company,
and the Chicago Junction Railways
e. Union Stock Yards company,
which holds the stock of the other
two companies, from engaging in in
terstate commerce until they had
filed tariffs with the commission. 1t
also asked to have the contract with
the firm of packers cancelled. The
commerce court held that the Chica-
90 Junction railway company alone
was engaged in interstate commerce
and so required i, to file tariffs, but
dismissed the action as to the other
companies.
Justice Day in announcing the OPP
inion, said that the commerce court
erred in holding that the Union
Stock Yards and Transit company
had exempted itself from the oper-
alton Of the federal law by leasing
it's property to the railway company.
Instead Of sending the case back
to the commerce court for further
hearing the supreme court directed
the lower court to enter decree en-
joining the carrying out of the Pfael-
ger contract.

John McAllister, bedridden for
years and realizing that his case is
hopeless today sent this message to
the world from his bed in the hope
that it ould induce favorable action
ON propCs ed legislation, giving physi-
clans the right and authority to put
TO death all sufferers, whose cases
are pronounced hopeless. McAllis'e'
is suffering from progressive muscu-
lar at ophin-a drying up of the It's
sues and he may live fifteen years.
Unable to move hand or foot he does
not like the idea of being pronounced
living when he might as well be
dead so far as physical activity Is
concerned. His mind is clear.
Il tell you as a man who has spent
seven years as an incurable that
many of us would welcome quiet,
peaceful death, brought about by
those who have their interests at
heart, said McAlister, smiling grim
ly. Personally, l want to die pain
lessly and in peace. / want to have
the proper civil and religious auth
critics present and then want some

smiled again before saying hand it

AT the home of the incurables
here are poor devils who have been
lying on cots for twelve or fifteen
years, unable to do anything but lie
still Some of them are imbeciles

worse than weak-minded. For me, l
know the time will come when l will

 Marx Building

The Alabama Interstate Power com pany will tomorrow move into 27 offices in the Marx building which were rented recently by that concern The headquarters of the great developing company will be removed from Mont gomery.
 Eugene l.. Brown of Brown Bros. & Co, returned from Montgomery yester- day, where he closed up the final de- tails of the contract for the space in the building The company will occupy the greater part of the ninth floor of the Brown-Marx building.
 MT. Brown said yesterday that the com ing here of the Alabama Interstate Power company was a large victory for Bir- mingham. He said all the men ern- ployed are high class officials and would remove their families to this city, where they will be engaged for several years.
 The force of men to come here in- cludes engineers, officials and other high priced men.
 The Alabama Interstate Power com pany is engaged now in building a large dam for the purpose of supplying light and other commodities to this city ana other places in the state.

CITY FISCAL YEAR ] ID END TOMORROW Understood That Auditors Report Will Show Deficit
 of About $3OO,0OO

The city of Birmingham will tomorrow finish the fiscal year. The auditing de- partment has been working on the gen. eral situation, but so far there has been no financial statement made which would indicate the deficit which will exist when the city finds out what the figure is.
 It is understood, however that the city will be behind about $3O0,00O from the beginning of commission government That deficit it is said, exists by reason of the failure of the commissioners, to get that sum of money from the bond issue. The commission will also, it is said. find that refunded and decreased street assessments caused deficit which while extending for ten years in some cases will be felt just the same.
 The city has at this time the Huffman force of accountants checking the books of the city. No information has yet been given out as to- the report of those aud itors or anyone else connected with the financial department
 It is understood that when Mir. Exum gets back to work the commissioners as a body will have conference with him and some plans will be outlined if any exist for the betterment of the financial condition. Just what that plan will be is not known at the city hall at this time.

IDEAS AND IDEALS

I Ideas make a business, and
 ideals furnish the staff .on
 which 1t leans.
 I This business was founded on the idea that there were enough discriminating and
 particular people in Bir-
 mingham to justify us in
 providing a highly trained
 organization, a modern met
 ropolitan decorative shop,
 and wall papers, drapery and upholstery fabrics of indi-
 viduality, exclusiveness and
 real artistic merit.
 I For twenty-three years our
 ideal has been s.To do well
 and worthily every piece of
 work, large or small that was intrusted to us." T All motives are mixed, and we have never considered that ours were wholly al truistic. Instead, we are rather proud of the fact that adherence to the ideas and ideals with which we started
 has resulted greatly to our material profit.

O'NEAL EXPECTS ID
 SOLVE RATE RIDDLE Does Not Expect It to Be
 Issue Next Time TO TRY NEW METHOD Says His Way May Differ From That of Comer's But He Be lieves That It Will Be Just as Effective
TO TRY NEW METHOD

Deep In his heart, Governor ONeal
 does not believe that the issue in the
 gnbernatorial campaign of two years hence will be the regulation of rail- road rates.
 l This Is due to the fact that he in-
 tends to solve that problem before he
 retires from office. At the present time, he does not authorize a state
 ment concerning his plans, but he does
 not object to stating publicly that nc IS
 studying conditions and will strike when the time Is ripe.
 1 The above statements will tend 10 dislodge the impression which has been formed that Governor O'Neal does not ! intend to take up the cudgel against the railroads This impression Is due, it Is probable. to the release of Attor-
 neys weakley and Selheimer from the
 rate prosecution in which the state has been engaged for several years, and | to the appointment by Governor O'Neal of John B. Knox, a railroad attorney to the supreme court of the state. | En route to Montgomery from Flor ence, the Governor said: T am study 1 ing the problem, and it will be solved 1 am thoroughly convinced. My method may differ from that of ex-Governor l Comer's, but I trust that it will prove to
 be more effective. If the courts fail, I will go to the legislature. If the legisla- 1 ture on account of railroad influence l fails to act, will resort to other means. l "No man, not even Governor Conner, | is more opposed to railroad domination l than I. The time for action will come and I will act, rest assured
 Governor O'Neal will make reply to
 the severe criticism which was heaped l upon his shoulders by speakers at a | mass meeting held in Montgomery some nights ago. Judging from the attitude | of the chief executive. Ills reply will be as scathing as was the denunciation of the speakers in question.
 l The governor had nothing to say in
 reference to the probable extra session
 of the legislature. The impression still prevails, however, that the lawmakers
 will be called together in January.
