U. s. Supreme Court Is Held Up as Model for
 Great World Tribunal

Washington, December 9.--The Uni ted States supreme court was held up as model for a world tribunal by speakers here today before the Ameri- can Society for Judicial Settlement of International Disputes. The speakers included William H. Taft, William L.. Marburg of Baltimore, Representative James L. Slayden of Texas and William Renwick Riddell, justice of the supreme court of Ontario, Canada
 Representative Slayden, speaking to- night at a banquet which closed the meeting here, declared no judicial body so well served as a pattern for an in- ternational tribunal as the American court.
 Justice Riddell said that while the Canadian people are peace loving, they are not ashamed to be at war. He pre- dicted that war eventually would cease.
 "Even if there is not to be a world peace he continued, there may at least be peace so far as your great na- tion is concerned. The United States does not need to show it's power, it's glory is gained and is imperishable; it can be diminished only by the United States itself The altruism exhibited in the case of Cuba, the ardent love of peace exhibited in bringing about the conference and treaty of Portsmouth are all to it's credit"
 John Hays Hammond, who was to have spoken at tonight's banquet, was unable to attend because of illness.

FIFE VERY ATTRACTIVE
 FEATURE OF BAZAAR
Doll Bazar for ChiIdren's Hospital Most Successful Ever Held-Chairman
 Thanks Ladies

Although it will not be possible for several weeks to tell the exact amount of money cleared at the doll bazar, it was decidedly the most successful ever held, according to Mrs. Hill Ferguson, general chairman.
 A meeting of the various committees which served during the bazar will be called next week by Mrs. Ferguson and reports will be submitted. However. the complete report is not expected to be ready until about the first of the Year.
 The bazar came to close with the children's fete at the Hillman hotel Saturday afternoon Several hundred children were present at the fete and a number of children took part in the various features of the programme
 The Hawaiian Ministrels, given by 16 little children, was quite a success, as were the other features of the festi- val. Quite a neat sum was realized from this feature of the bazaar, accord ing to Mrs. Ferguson.
 The luncheons served each day at the Hillman hotel are expected to net an aggregate sum of more than 5000. The Episcopalians with Mrs. T. O.. Melton, who served Thursday, had the biggest day.
 The fact that the bazar lasted five days this year instead of four as in other years, is expected to add much to the general fund.
 ''The bazar has been a wonderful success in every way,' said Mrs Fer guson, "and I cannot say enough in ap- preciation, of the cooperation we have received from the people of Birming- ham. Not only are our thanks due to the women and girls who worked so faithfully during the bazar, but to all those who have patronized us, both at the bazaar and at our luncheons'

GRAVE CHARGE IS
 MADE BY GREEKS
 AGAINST ALLIES
Statement Says the French Fleet Fired on Athens After Armistice Had
 Been Proclaimed

Washington, December 9.-The state ment regarding the clash at Athens fol- lowing the allied demand that Greece give up arms and ammunition to the all lies, was presented to the state depart ment today. It charged that the Anglo French fleet continued it's bombardment of the city after an armistice had been decided upon
 The statement handed to the depart ment for it's information was a copy of a cablegram from Athens instructng the Greek minister at London to call the facts to the attention of the British for eign office. It's text follows:
 Reuters agency has brought the news that Lord Cecil, answering in the House Of Commons MT. DalzieIs question, said that in spite of the reiterated express as- surances given by the King and his gov ernment that no troubles would occur, one of the most treacherous attacks was made against the detachments of the allied contingents which were landed on Admiral Du Fournet's order last Fri day
 Please bring to the attention of the secretary of state for foreign affairs that the royal government, with two letters and several oral declarations, had in- formed the French admiral of the impos- sibility of complying with the demand by which they were to deliver the war ma terial they were summoned to give away.
 Despite these warnings, the admiral decided to land a certain number of de- tachments which in several instances proceeded from Pireaus to the capital which was under military control.
 After the morning skirmishes between the allied detachments and our troops an armistice was decided upon. at the re- quest of the admiral Despite the armis- tice, though, and after firing had ceased, the allied ships bombarded several parts of the. town and shot not less than 3S shells, seven of which were directed against the royal palace.
 There can, under such conditions be no question of treachery or of non p1 evoked attack"

 Many Cases Frivolous

Gadsden. December 9.-(Special.) Complaint is made by the grand jury in its report today to Judge J. A. Bilbro of city court that It's time was taken up to such an extent by what is characterized as Frivolous cases" that it could not make a general in vestigation of the county as to law violation.

Millions of Brick Are Made and Shipped All Over
 Southern States
ALL GRADES ARE
 MADE AT PLANT 
Present Plant Finished by L. l. Stephenson in 1913 Is Valued
 at Two Hundred Thou k sand Dollars

Within 12 miles of Birmingham there is an industry that provides enough building material to erect daily a structure that would scrape the sky. For the Stephenson Brick company, located at Loyick, has capacity of 75,000 brick a day The plant that is capable of this enormous output is of the most modern design and is valued at s200.0OO.
 To view the splendid plant that sup plies the south from San Antonio. Tex, to North Carolina with thousands of brick, one would think that all had been smooth and uneventful. The pres ent plant was built over the ruins of a devastated plant that was completely ruined in 1911. Instead of being discouraged by the loss j.. L. Stephenson determined that one of the finest and most modern plants in the country should be raised from the charred ruins So consequently in 1913 the present plant was finished
 With the assistance of the proprie- tor, the Troutwine Engineering com pany of Chicago designed the battery of 1S round downdraft kilns and the OtHcI IO ture "imperyious brick" The smooth face brick, which is the equal in per- lection of the "dry press and su- perior in quality in that it is inn previous, is sold by this company in addition to the rough texture face brick. All varieties, from the relative ly cheap brick to those that sell at SIS a thousand are manufactured.
 Though the plant does not occupy all of the acreage, the Stephenson Brick, company owns 240 acres of land On this property are immense stores of high grade shale that are near the Cahaba river.
 There are 16 kilns of the downdraft type. The bricks are fired by coal

The endless cake of shale is cut by a die of the cutting machine into uniform sizes and then the bricks are allowed to dry by the waste heat from the cool ing kilns They are finally set in the kilns and fired
 The bricks are hauled by electric cars, each of which has an individual motor The power is furnished by the Alabama Power company. The equip ment of the plant is the most mod ern that can be purchased.
 The finished products of the Steph- enson company are in evidence all about Birmingham and the south. The rough texture bricks are seen on the face of the Y M. c. A., the Ridgley apartments, the Y. W. c. A., Hanover Court apartments and on many resi- dences in Birmingham The Elks' club in Atlanta, the courthouse at Dallas, Tex, and several schools at Jack sonville, Fla, are faced with these products that give 100 men employ ment at the Lovicl1 plant daily.
 The Birmingham sales agency is the Brick Selling company, with offices in the Empire building.

Woman's Journal: The recent
granting Of woman suffrage in three
great Canadian provinces is making
the opponents of equal rights in this
country very uncomfortable. Natural
ly they are trying to belittle these
victories. They declare them to be
"unimportant," because Manitoba.
Alberta and Saskatchewan have as
yet a comparatively small popula-
ton. They might as well call the vic
tory of the colonists in the American
revolution unimportant, because the
colonies had only a small population
at that time. The outcome of that
little war decided the question wheth-
er the teefing millions of the future
in this country should live under
monarchy or under republic. So the
victories Just won in Canada have
settled for those huge provinces the
question whether the great popula-
ton destined to be there in the future
shall live under a truly representa-
tive government or under one that Is
only half and half-self government
for men, a benevolent despotism for
women.
Losers have a license to grumble,
hut IT is absurd for the opponents of
equal rights to seek to throw con-
tempt upon the new suffrage con-
quests in Canada. Some unreconc1led
Tory might as we'll sheer when Amer
leans celebrate the Fourth OF July
and declare that they are making a
mighty fuss over what was really
very small matter

Helen Keller and Caruso.

The following from an Atlanta, Ga,
paper will be Of interest to friends of
Helen Keller in Keokuk:
Miss Helen Keller, the world s
most famous deaf and dumb blind
woman, placed her fingers On the lips
and throat of Enrico Caruso, in his
rooms in the Georgian Terrace hotel,
recently, and heard him sing THE
Lament of Sampson" blinded and in
chains, grinding corn for the Phiiis-
tines.
Through the medium of her sensi-
tive fingers the melodious voice Of
the great tenor thrilled her and as
she sat and listened, her blind eyes
wet with tears, she gasped over and
over and over again: Wonderful!
Wonderful"
Caruso sang the aria in the first
scene of the last act of Samson and
Delilah," and as he sang his eyes
filed with tears and his voice grew
husky with the pathos Of the song.
ooh. wonderful. wonderful breath

And with his lips against her hands
Caruso said:
