predatory corporations may be
likened to those who make horse

cuse the democratic party of at

it has declared war on methods

we'll as the statutes, is as sense
less as it would be to condemn

Montgomery, January 1S.--fSpecial) ) Jefferson county made an excellent show | ing in the inauguration of Governor Hen derson. better showing. unquestionably than any other county of the state On the early train many people came. On the special train there came riding into Montgomery 800 people. It is safelJA esti- mated that during the day 1000 of the rep resentatives of the imperial county were on the scene.
 In the parade the Jefferson County Hen derson club attracted a great deal of at tention. The members of the club march, ing in fours. stretched human line for more than block At regular intervals large banners bearing inscriptions easily to be read were carried. These inscrip- tions were expressions Of admiration for and confidence in MT. Henderson. and ur- gent appeal that illiteracy be wiped out, that the affairs of the state be wisely and economically administered. and that in legislation the lawmakers be conserva- tive.
 But the body which attracted the great est attention, which received the most en- thusiastic and spontaneous applause. was that composed of members of the band of
 
 the Alabama Boys Industrial school There is no question but that their ap- parent youth. their apparent manllness, their apparent proficiency in performing on musical instruments. won the hearts Of the spectators, and made for the insti- luton many warm and lasting friends
 Of the retiring governors staff, Col Tom Pound, who with his daughter, Miss Liz zie Lee, has been for some days i'll Mont gomery, was prominent figure. General Scully of Birmingham was field marshal or the parade, while in line. really enjoy Ing the excitement and even the boister- ous weather, were many men of wealth and influence from the imperial county.

NOTED IMPROVEMENT IN TRADE CONDITIONS, DECLARES J.P. MORGAN
Financier Discusses Financial Situa- ton With President Wilson. Credit Loan to Russia Will
 Go Forward

Washington, January 1s.--J. P. Morgan told President Wilson that there had been a marked improvement in trade conditions as affecting international ex- change and that increase in exports to Europe had decreased greatly American indebtedness to Europe.
 MT. Morgan mentioned the credit of $12,- 0OO00O recently established by the Rus sian government in the United States through MT. Morgan's banking firm and explained that there was to be no direct loan of money to the Russian govern ment. On leaving the White House he said the arrangement for the credit loan would go forward.
 MT. Morgan came to Washington pri- marily to attend a meeting of the fed eral reserve council and plans to re- main here until Wednesday. He called on Secretary Lane today to give him figures on the cost of operation and maintenance of the Copper River and Northwestern railroad, in Alaska, which the Reconsideration interests have offered to sell to the government as a part of the proposed federal line con- meeting the coast with the coal fields.

DACIA CASE TO BE
 SETTLED SOON

London, Janaury 1S.--G:05 D. m) Great Britain probably will reply to. morrow to the American request that the former IIambur American liner Dacia, now flying the American flag, be permitted to make one trip with cotton from the United States for Germany, without the voyage being considered a precedent establishing the right of Ger man ships nterned in the United States 10 be transferred to the American flag and then resume uninterrupted trade with Germany.
 Officials believe Great Britoin cannot make an exception in this instance,
 The case has produced a marked im- pression in England. 1t is generally dis cussed in the streets and the feeling voiced against the position of the United States concerning tho Dacia is much more bitter than that aroused by the American protest against delays to shipping, as the case of the Dacia is far better unders tood than the general tiles of the note.
 There is increasing evidence that tho ships suspected of carrying contraband are being examined more quickly. Only four ships now are held for prize courts, and but three others are de- tained for inspection. The ships held for the prize court are the Sfgrun. Fridland. Bjornstjerne Bjornsen and Alfred Nobel. The detained ships are the Augusta, Kansas and Kentucky.

that the retiring governor would be made referee i'll bankruptcy. The retiring gov ernor. when asked by other newspaper In regard to the story, was evasive, stat Ing that he was not an applicant for any office. However, the people still believed that he would eventually be the referee, and their faith became a conviction when sometime ago, one of the applicants for the post was named by the retiring gov ernor judge of the criminal court of Jef- ferson county.
 Never before has a retiring governor O. Alabama agreed to accept the job of referee in bankruptcy. However, 1t IS a very valuable plum, netting as it does between S1o,0oO and S20,O00 per annum 1t is not as dignified position as that or governor, some people might imag,ne. But 1t certainly is more remunerative. And there is no gainsayng the fact thas the retiring governor will make an &C., ceptable referee.
 The man to be appointed left with his family tonight for Birmingham He will be registered for several days at the Hotel Morris IL is understood that hs son, Kirsman, who has served him as private secretary. win be made a clerk In the office of referee
 It IS Interesting to recall, in connection with the matter, that the retiring gov ernor some months ago appointed Judge Clayton to the United States Senate However. no one imagines that the ap- pointment was through consideration of anything save worth on the part of the appointee.
