Friday night that they had stayed with
him long enough and took French leave.
They were John Q. Ponder, charged
with stealing a sack of mail at Whites
Station, and Sell Wilburn, accused of
house breaking at Valley View. 1t was
found that they had sawed out bar Of
their cell which gave them access to the
hail, when it was an easy matter to
shove out the rotten bars of window
and jump to the open. The jailer has
not been able to discover where the men
got the saws. but visitor must have fur
nished them.
Telephone messages were sent to the
neighboring towns by Jailer Jones as
soon as his loss was discovered, describ-
ing the men and offering s25 reward for
the return of each. Deputy Sheriff
johnson got busy and captured Ponder
at Berea, but Wilburn is still non est.

COMB|NAT|ONSARE,
SAYS J. c. M|LBURN
Argues in Behalf of the
American Booksellers
Association

Washington. March Necessity of
combinations in this era of moralized
competition" was the burden of the ar
gument today before the supreme court
by John G. Milburn on behalf of the
American Publishers association and the
American Book Sellers association, the
so-called book trust
The only way ''moralized competition
could be attained. Mr.. Milburn told the
court, was to allow the existence of trade
combinations which could lay down rules
to present the improper things which
marked the days before the Standard Oil
and tobacco decisions. He contended this
had been the purpose of the combinations
of the book publishers magazine pub
fishers and the wholesale and retail book
sellers He declared that department
stores threatened to ruin the book and
magazine business.
These stores" he said. ."seized upon
books and magazines for advertising pur-
poses, reducing the price even below cost
in order to impress the public with the
idea that everything they sold was like
wise reduced.
Wallace MacB'arlane, representing a
New York department store seeking TO
break up the combination, oontended that
the object of the combine was not to pro-
tect the trade but to keep up the retail
price to the public.
Chief Justice White interrupted the re-
marks of Mr.. Milburn to ask how he met
the argument that when a publisher or
manufacturer once sold an article at
wholesale he had no property right in 1t
which permitted him to say how the retail
merchant should sell it. Mr.. Milburn re-
piled that in the present case the books
were copyrighted and the copyright
laws gave the publisher the right to the
conditions under which his goods could
be sold

M. j. HACKETT SAYS PAVING
COMPANY NOT RESPONSIBLE
FOR CONDITION OF STREETS


the streets have been torn up since last
fall, but that work Is being done by the
Birmingham Railway, Light and Power
company and other public utility concerns,
whose work must be done before we lay
the pavement We average a working
force of about 80 men day. Since be-
ginning work we have laid 1900 square
yards of pavement and over 1900 feet Of
sewers.
''The delay comes almost entirely from
the concerns who must do their work
before we are allowed to lay a single
block of pavement. The system should
be followed here as 1t Is in New Orleans
that wherever there is torn up street or
sidewalk sign must be hung up showing
who is doing the work. There are no
such signs here and therefore people
think we are responsible for all the torn
up streets
I'VE have met some delay through the
shortage of cars and consequent delays
in cement shipments, but these are slight
and if everything goes as it should we
will finish the job, which includes First
avenue from Eighteenth to Twerlty-first
Nineteenth street from Morris to First,
and Twentieth from the Louisville and
Nashville railroad to Fourth avenue, by
the early part of April.
I'VE are not working full force TO-
day because we have no place to work.
we are held back by these preliminary
constructions of local utility concerns.
Let anyone ask the city engineering de-
partment or some of the property holders
along the streets In question and it will
be found that they do not blame us for
for the delay and condition of the
streets"
