.GO[DSTE|N RETURNS WITH DAVID kE|SER Found There Is No Warrant in This City Against
 Baltimore Man

David Keiser Is here But according to saying among street urohins, The jest is," for when Detective Goldstein arrived In the Magic city with him he was startled to find that there was no charge against his prisoner. After all the trouble he has had in getting Keiser to come back to Alabama there Is now probability of his not answering the charge of fraudulently issuing check.
 Detective Goldstein arrived in~the city yesterday afternoon with his charge and placed him in the city jail. Shortly after wards he transferred 1<eiser to the coun- ty jail Keiser's attorneys, A. Leo Ober- dorfer of Birmingham and c. Cline or Baltimore, set about making bond for Keiser. The bond was duly signed for s1oo and taken to Chief Deputy Metcalfe for official approval.
 Then it was that it was discovered that there was no charge against him, Deputy Metcalfe could not remember nor could he find any record of where warrant had been served by the sheriffs office against Keiser and said that to approve a bond for him would pe an empty task. for it would have no effect.
 They could not, stated Mr. Metcalfe, hold Keiser in the county jail pending or without bond unless a warrant was produced with which to commit him to jail And the warrant could not be found. It is stated. however, that the warrant was sworn out and two copies made of it, making three copies with the original. All of these were sent to Montgomery when request was made for requisition parers and only one was returned with the papers. This was left with the Bal timore authorities by Detective Goldstein as a matter of record
 Deputy Metcafe returned the prisoner to Detective Goldstein, who held him upon the governors executive warrant, which Is necessary with the requsition papers. Kelser was taken back to police head quarters. where Chief Bodeker immediate ly accepted the bond and allowed Keiser to be put to bed, as he got out of a sick bed to come to Birmingham. Keiser stated that he was not forced to do so, as Baltimore papers had stated, but did it on his on free will and accord. He is high in his praise of the kindness of Detective Goldstein.
 Isadore Shapiro, who is prosecuting the case, telephoned last night to Secretary John D. McNeil in the governors office, that he would come for the warrant which was there.

AMERICAN COMPANY
 LIABLE TO TAX

London, February S.-The court of ap- peals today confirmed the judgment rem dered by Justice Hamilton of the King s bench division of the high court of jus tice on February 15, 1911, declaring that the American Thread company. which is incorporated under the laws of the state of New Jersey is liable to an income tax in Great Britain on profits amounting to S9O0000.
 At the trial Justice Hamilton held that although the mills and business of the American Thread company were in Amer lea, the fact that most of the common stock was held in England, and that the directors In England were highly con cerned with the direction of the company s affars, brought the concern within the provisions of the British income tax.
