The sixteenth of the series of organ
fecitals under the auspices of the Chap
ter of the American Guild of OrSanists
was given by ]. Willis Conant Monday
evening at Epiphany Church. The pro-
gram was an exceptional one and was
presented with an intelligence in inter-
probation, skill in technique and taste in
registration that proved him master of
his instrument. Among the numbers the
rendition of "St. Anne's Fugue" stands
pre-eminent, for his broad and clean ham
ding OF the themes, without in any way
sacrificing the smooth blending of the
parts. His other numbers included

JAPAN OPPOSES RECALL
Of TROOPS FROM China
Action Leaves Russia Unsupported
in Policy, Even by Her Ally,
France.

TOXIC. January 10.-The japanese
government today declared that it was
opposed to the withdrawal of all foreign
troops from China, as suggested by the
Russian government December II.
The proposal made by Russia was
that the foreign troops of all nations
should be withdrawn from the prov
ince of Chilli. including the legation
guards. the regiments at Tientsin and
the troops guarding the railways be-
tween the sea and Picking.
The reason advanced was that condi-
lions in the north of China were no
longer dangerous to foreigners.

In Line With U. s. Policy.

The decision of the Japanese govern
ment to maintain Japanese troops in
the province of Chilli is in line with
the already announced policy of the
United States government, and leaves
Russia practically alone in favoring
the withdrawal of foreign troops from
that part of China.
Even France, which has heretofore
closely sided with Russia in her far
eastern policies, declined to follow her
lead in this case, agreeing with the
other powers that conditions in China
were still too unsettled to warrant the
exposure of the lives of their subjects
and citizens and their material inter-
ests to the risk of further volution-
airy outbreaks.

Made Prisoners in Cabins.

At the trial the captain and mate tesd-
fled that they were seized by members
of the crew and held in their cabins for
some time. and Were released only on
the promise that they would navigate
the vessel back to the Delaware capes.
The accused members of the crew in
their testimony charged that the captain
and mate had been cruel in their treat
nent, and that much of the food given
them was unfit to eat. and that there
was a scarcity of fresh water. Several
members of the crew also charged that
the mate had been drinking.
The captain and mate in their cross
examination denied the charges.
The Manga Reva sailed November 30
with another captain and crew.

 POWER SITUATION
Sees No Reason Why B. R., l.. X P. Contract Should
 Not Be Signed

T. II. Friel yesterday issued a for mal statement In which he answers the reports that he would actively op- pose the signing of contract between the Birmingham Railway. Light and
 Power company and the Alabama
 Power company by which the local con- cern will be supplied with power. The statement follows
 q see no objection to the Birming-
 ham Railway. Light and Power com
 pany buying all the power it wants from the Alabama Power company. know of no reason why the Alabama
 Power company should be prevented from selling to the Birmingham Rail-
 way. Light and Power company or to any other corporation.
 Again, l see no reason why the city of Birmingham could not construct and extend transmission lines to connect with the Alabama Power company at Mag Ellen and thereby buy all the
 power that s needed to light the city and furnish power to other consumers of power and light throughout Great CT Birmingham. The city should be able to get power at the same contract price which Is given to the Birming
 ham Railway. Light and Power com
 pany by the Alabama Power company. which price. I understand, is six : tenths of cent per kilowat hour I
 know of no reason why the city of
 Bessemer should not do the same as
 the city of Birmingham.
 My power company has franchises
 in the city of Bessemer and we expect
 to buy power from the Alabama Power company to use same in Bessemer as
 we expect the Alabama Power company
 to be ready to deliver power before we
 are ready with our own current. I pre-
 sume the Alabama Power company will
 not make any contract with the Rir-
 mingham Railway, Light and Power
 company that will give them the mar ket exclusively. or that will prevent the Alabama Power company from selling all who want to buy direct from
 the Alabama Power company.
 T think if I were manager of the Alabama Power company l would be opposed to giving the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company the exclusive right to purchase and dis | tribute it's power l think the Alabama
 Power company should have construct ed one of their power lines by the Unit ed States Cast Iron Pipe company's plants, through Brighton. Dolomite
 Fairfield. Ensley. Pratt City and Thomas, the Illinois Central yards the Southern yards at North Birmingham, through the Louisville and Nashville 1 yards at Boyles and make connection at Gate City with their lines from
 Leeds, enabling all large industries here to buy from the Alabama Power company. The large industries will not buy the current second hand from the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power
 company It Is a class of business a distributing company cannot handle, as large industries want to buy from the original producer of the power and these large industries certainly con- sume more power than the Birming-
 ham Railway, Light and Power com pany. The above are my views on the | subject and I am not concerned as to the Birmingham Railway Light and
 Power company buying or not buying power from anyone. It is no business of mine--I certainly have no questions to ask. T. H. FRIEI."
