Rrotherhoeds win Hero.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Halfway
brotherhoods won an important point
before congress today when the SEN
ate interstate commerce commission
tabled a resolution looking toward
mediation Of the controversy by the
Interstate commerce commission.
The railroads and the national
chamber of commerce had requested
an investigation of the whole wage
subject. The brotherhoods opposed
this on the ground that the strike was
purely a matter between themselves
and the road officials.
Not only did the committee take the
workers side of this question, but 1t
refused a request by the chamber OF
commerce for hearings on the subject.
A vote was not taken, but an infer
NAL canvass Of the committee showed
the embers apparently unanimous that
congress has not power to enforce ar
bitration, unless both roads and men
desire It. 1t was further agreed that
the committee at present has no in.
clination tc mix in the struggle.
The resolution tabled was one intro
duced June %, by Senator Newlands,
at the request Of the chamber of com.

AUTOMOBILE SHOW
 FOR BIRMINGHAM

movement looking toward the hold ing of big automobile show in Bir- mingham next January was launched at a meeting of a number of automo- bile and accessory dealers at the Cham Der of Commerce yesterday. Tentative plans for an organization of all the automobile dealers were outlined and A. l.. Boorse was named as temporary chairman to call a meeting at an early date to perfect permanent organiza- tion. All the dealers of the Birming- ham district will be invited and it was announced that the Chamber of Con- merce would cooperate in the move- ment. The question of holding an au- tomobile show during Fashion Week was discussed. but it was decided that the time was not sufficient in which to give really creditable exhibition.
 The decision to perfect the organiza- tion of automobile dealers came follow ing meeting of that division of the general council of the Chamber of Commerce. At this meeting, which was attended by large number of dealers in automobiles. accessories and motor cycles, the division selected w. B. Smith, J. S. Taylor and Robert Stubbs as members of the general council to represent the division. A. L. Boorse was chosen as permanent chairman of the division.

all the braver because they only fight with words and bear small measure of responsibility, else they might not be so often heard carping I declare that it is my humble Judgment that the man who at this crisis of the worlds affairs will intentionally do anything to aggravate the international situation is bad man, dangerous citizen, and the worst kind of a, demagogue. What we ought to be trying to do is to preserve our calm. our deliberation, and to keep ourselves as nearly as possible before all the world as nation standing impartial, desiring only to see the European conflict brought to an end.
 WOULD NOT VOTE
 It may be that we ought to have in- yaded Mexico with an army of 100000 men; it may be that we ought to have imposed debt of two or three billion dollars upon our people; but I repeat that If the question were put to a vote in this chamber today the men who have so often criticized our Mexican policy would not dare to vote a declaration of war against Mexico. I have said thar much simply because the intimation was rather broad, I understood it, that after all, if we really had a red-blooded President We would have better main tained the dignity of this country and we would have better protected our citi- zens.
 I conclude with this remark, that I trust even those who did not go into. the Spanish war as did the senator from New Mexico (Mr. FalD, may be per- mitted in this chamber to express an opinion with reference to our national or International matters and even to speak the sacred name of Roosevelt without any further intimations that the1 are lacking in personal courage or in patriotism. The quality of courage is not limited to any one race or to any one man. It is therefore possible that courage may be sometimes associated with great vehemence of speech or even a contemptuous intolerance for the opin- ions of others.

"Sam DaYiS''

One of the largest gatherings of Con- federate Veterans seen in sometime in Birmingham will be on hand Friday aft ernoon at the Jefferson theatre, when they meet to see the first performance of Sam Davis," the big picture of one of the souths greatest heroes as the guests of Camp Wilcox. The theatre has been decorated with Confederate flags and bunting by members of Camp Will cox, Daughters of the Confederacy and all of the Confederate Veterans and members of the G. A. R. in the district at 2 30 o'clock, so they can take the sec tion Of seats reserved for them.
 The picture, sam Davis" has been hailed as photoplay monument to the south's greatest hero by many southern papers. Russell Rose and cast of play CTS will be seen in the five-reel pro- ductior.
 Many Of the scenes in this picture were taken at the same spots where they were originally enacted more than half century ago and those who have viewed the production are unanimous in proclaiming it, marvellous.
 This picture is absolutely correct his- torically, and with a cast of some 300 people. The scenes were enacted and filmed in the exact location where more than 50 years ago the brave Tennessee boy lived the events which eliminated in his historic death. Every inch of ground photogra phed teens with history and every home used in the settings was built before 1860, and each is rich in romantic and tragic associations of the civil war

 OFFICIAL BUSINESS

Birmingham is to be denied the privi- Treasury, William Gibbs McAdoo, and Mrs. McAdoo Sunday night and Monday. The pressure of official business is the cause assigned for the change in tho plans of the secretary which will keep him from making his southern trip at this time.
 This information was contained in a telegram sent by the Secretary to W. C. Radcliffe, general secretary of the Cham Der of Commerce yesterday afternoon. It read: 'I am distressed and disappointed beyond measure to have to postpc- ny visit to Birmingham. The pressure of public business in this department is so great that l find it impossible to leave Washington as I expected to do on Sat urday of this week. Will you please accept my apologies for any ir@ 1ven- fence I may have caused you and our friends in Birmingham and explain the situation to them. I am sure t. they will understand. I hope to visit Bir- mingham in the near future. Sincere thanks for your very kind invitation
 Immediately upon receipt of this tee gram, the chairman and te~ -~c:nbers of the various committees which had in charge the plans for entertaining Secre- tary McAdoo and the members of his party, were notified and all arrn ', ~enents

EVERYBODY Is LANDED

Newport News, February 3.-Nfne- teen days of ceaseless vigil for the short-handed German prize crew aboard the former British liner Ap of more than 400 British passengers and prisoners climbed over the ships side to liberty on American soil. And, Or the first time since Lieutenant Berg and his 22 men boarded the liner from the raider which captured her on the night of January 15, most of the Germans slept peacefully with few of their number on watch.
 All British subjects and the one nat uralized American, c. A. Tagliaferri quit the ship. leaving the prize com mander with the 20 Germans who had been prisoners on the Appam. including three women.

APPAM CASE GROWS
 MORE COMPLICATED: TO ACT CAUTIOUSLY
(Continued from Page One,

charge that the Appam was brought to Hampton Roads for the deliberate purpose of testing the soundness ot Germany's original contention that the sinking of prizes is necessary incl dent to naval warfare in its present form. To offset that contention, how ever, is the German claim that the Prussian- American treaty guarantees the prize safe to her captors.
 The situation was cleared of some Of its complexities today, however, by the release of the 12 British seamen whom the German commander was i'm clined to hold as prisoners of war, be- cause they had been gun pointers on captured merchantmen. This leaves only the question of disposition of the Ap- pam and there is every indication that the state department will choose its steps cautiously with consideration foi the future.

Pressure of Official Busi- ness" Not Given Great
 Credence There
NOTHING UNUSUAL
 so FAR AS KNOWN
No Developments Since Announce ment of Proposed Trip-Exten- siye Preparations Made in
 Birmingham For Party

Washington. February 3.-(Speeial) ) And after all, the McAdoos are not going to Birmingham
 The announcement was made this afternoon by Secretary Cooksey The reason assigned was the pressure of official business" Formal excuses or a bill of particulars may be rendered Bir- mngham direct. But in Washington, which observes no unusual conditions, no change in the situation since the state pronunciamento of January 27, outlining the proposed southern trip, nothing in the way of advancing a spe- cial cause has been vouchsafed.
 According to the official statement rendered week ago, the Secretary of the Treasury and Mrs. McAdoo, accom- panied by W. P. c. Harding, mem Der of the federal reserve board, were pre- pairing to venture below the Mason and Dixon line to attend to a humber of departmental matters, including public building questions" and to meet the officers and directors of tie federal reserve bank of Dallas.
 EVERYTHING IS OFF
 That prospectus along with the ex- tensive preparation made by Birming- ham business men and ladies goes for naught. The pressure of official busi- ness rules the day and hundreds of hearts which fluttered in joyous antici- patton of mingling with and doing hon. or to the son. -in-law and daughter of the President must rest content in the cold comfort of a shattered dream. Fashionable breakfasts, 1uncheons at high noon, auto rides, banquets and Country club receptions and all the head to head whispers and newspaper gossip, prepared and indulged in with out taking into account the possibil- ity of the pressure of unusual busi ness,' must of necessity become mere matter for the riotous play of mem- ory.
 Secretary CoolSsey, however, extend ed one bit of comfort He declared it to be the hope of Mr. McAdoo to visit the south at a later date. It is regarded as extremely probable that the visit will, after all, be paid for 1t is stated in the original prospectus that "a number of departmental mat ters, including public building ques- tions," made it imperative that the secretary go.
 WASHINGTON IN DARK
 Washington, having heard of the postponement of the McAdoo trip, is speculating as to the cause. But in view of the rather quiescent situation, nothing more tenable can be imagined than the return tomorrow of the President and the pending settlement of the Appam case It is regarded as certain that there will be time a plenty for the secretary to carry out any pro- gramme he might have devised regard ing the proposed ship purchase bill That troublesome measure in which the treasurer is deeply interested is hang ing fire, and will in all probability con- tinue to hang for several months to come
 And thus, for an indefinite period the public may continue to speculate regarding what actually did prevent the consumma tion of the plan.
