B|R HAM FIGHT AGAINSI TELEPHONY:
 DECISION PROCEEDS
City Attorney, Declaring Case Not Rendered in Open Session, Asks Adverse
 Opinion Set Aside

Montgomery, November 26.
 Especial. Claiming that the decision against the city of Birmingham in the Southern Bell Telephone case was not rendered in open session and that the petitioner, therefore, had nc, opportunity to file a bill of exceptions, Fred G. Moore, city attorney of Bir- mipgham, and other attorneys, Tuesday filed petition with the Alabama, public service commission asking it to set aside it's adverse opinion in the case.
 The petition, rather lengthy, sets out that the city was informed a decision October and that such decision was done in executive session.
 Although the Birmingham petition does not so state, this is known to be the beginning of a fight to get the case reviewed by a body higher than the state commission, which is charged with the duties of fixing rates on Ala bama's public utilities.
 The city's petition in original form was filed before George Ward went out of office as mayor of Birmingham. He and others there began the fight to get the alleged discriminatory rates removed. The commission ruling was that the case should be dismissed. Com missioner S. P. Gaillard of Mobile dis scented from this opinion. A representa- tive of the city officials came to Mont gomery immediately and appearing at regular session of the utilities com mission asked that the commission per- init certain exceptions to go on the min utes This request was refused, all though the records were received and filed"
 It is not the desire of thee ity to get the decision annulled. What good came from this, however, is not shown. Even should the case get to the supreme court and even though the ruling would be against the state commission the SUI preme court has no rate fixing author ity, and the case would revert back to the state commission.

ADJUSTMENTS
"Flo-Flo"

FIO-FIO
 Evidently the tired business man was the object aimed at in producing Flo Flo" John Cort's musical comedy of- fering, at the Jefferson theatre last night Rigorous weather did not pre- vent a large and expectant attendance drawn by the lure of lingerie and other things feminine. It is safe to assume that there was no disappointment on that score, for there were fetching cos tumes-and the lack of them-in the greatest abundance. ''Flo-Flo" fares better in this respect than any musical show seen here in a long time The cos tunes were decidedly worth while fea- ture.
 However, the company was for the most part quite competent and the re- suit was an enjoyable performance of the sort that doesn't overtax a jaded mind Jack Norton is a capable come dian with a variety of talents. As Rob ert Simpson, of the firm of Simpson x Moser, owners of the Bride shop he provided many mirthful moments, while his partner. Joseph Elvy, as Isdor Moser, was good foil and an amusing character in the style of Potash & Perl mutter." Tom Gordon was q pleasing Juvenile, whose ingenuousness made a prolouhd impression on sundry fair charmers, and Francis and Ross did some fine eccentric dancing.
 Miss Cordelia Haager was eminently satisfying as 'Flo-Flo,'' the de luxe sho wgirl looking for fame. Miss Hanger IS not only beautiful in face and figure, but has a winsome smile and magnetism. II she were to pose as a corset model in real shop window there would cer- taInly be acute traffic congestion Miss Martha Lawrence, who was Angelina Stokes, saved at the last moment from being married off to a fortune hunting spanish nobleman by her designing mama, sang delightfully."- and acted the part agreeably, while Miss Maude No land as Mrs. Stokes was well cast. Other principals were Len Leonard as the Spanish count and Miss Betty Booth, the Spanish girl who claims the count for her own.
 While the mind dwells more particu larly on the lingerie display, there are many charming song numbers in the piece.
 "Flo-Flo" will be presented at matt nee this afternoon and again tonight. It is one of the best musical shows that will be seen at the Jefferson this sea- son.

Margaret Anglin-Jefferson

No attraction this season has enlisted the widespread attention which is just now being accorded to the forthcoming engagement of Margaret Anglin in her brilliant English comedy, "Billeted, ? which is announced for Thanksgiving, matinee and night, at the Jefferson.
 Biileted' is the work of F. Tennyson Jesse and H. N. Harwood It ran for upwards of a year in London, and Miss Anglin played a three months engage ment with it in New York, where it might nave remained for long period, had it not been for Miss Anglin's previously contracted bookings in Chicago and Bos- ton. 1t Is only in the broadest sense of the term that "Billeted' is to be regard ca as war play, for the shadow of the great struggle falls lightly upon it.

SOUTH AMERICA FAVORABLE

It is the general understanding that the South American republics have the same favorable attitude toward a league as the allies. Whether a league of nations in Europe would be largely represented and extend it's authority to the western hemi- sphere, including South, Central and North America, is not clear, but the prevailing view is that it's authority would be universal
 ; It is said that this would not be a substitution of the leagues authority for the Monroe doctrine in South American affairs, but rather an extension of the Monroe doctrine whereby joint interna. tional action would supplement and re. inforce the Monroe doctrine.
