 posed Increase

1 The city administration, with the CO., operation of the Civic association, is making final arrangements with w. H. | Sadler Jr., to assist the city attorney in protesting the petition of the Bir- mingham Railway. Light and Power company to increase heating rates, l which will come before the public 1 service commission for a second hear ing on July 10. l The case which closed last year with the commission refusing to grant the petition to increase rates will be re- opened at this time. | As MT. Sadler represented the city | at the first hearing, his services at {, the second hearing will be very vaIua- ble, according to City Attorney Fred G. Moore.
 Taking as basis Exhibit "A" of the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power company's petition. filed with the public service commission, the legal department of the city takes the posi- tion that its argument as set forth in the exhibit figures are not of suffi- cient force to justify the proposed in- crease of 11 cents a unit to steam heat for each 10 cents increase in the price of coal per ton over $1.50 of two years ago.
 
 yestment by years. since 1913, with it's annual income over operating expenses, as set out in the petition, are: For 191S-$232.2 nvestment; $24 161.52, income. For 1914-3236,54450, investment; $2s,24320, income For 1S15-$237, ,S6S.85, investment $11, ,611.12 income For 1916-$239.211l4, investment; $7s2S5S, income. For 917-$241.S7677, investment $22, ,54016, losses. For 191S-$241, ,88719, investment; s45.5s2s4. losses. Officials of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company have told the city that the petition being circu- lated in its behalf. at recent meet ing called by Webb Crawford, is carry 1ng the names of most of the large consumers but only few of the small CT consumers

time when President Wilson asked Congress to declare war against Germany. We discussed the fact that the President was going to make the request the next day. and I insisted that his making a speech against conscription would only embarrass President Wilson, stat ing that Birmingham and the southland should stand squarelv behind our great democratic PreSi- dent and tried to persuade him not to make the speech.
 At Mir. Huddleston's request I went to the hall where he was ad- vertised to speak. and on the door was a card stating that Mir Hud- dleston would deliver an address that afternoon in the hall on the subject of Peace We discussed the fact that he was advertised to speak on Peace instead of Con scription.' He said the matter had been misrepresented to him. said that it was splendid op~ portunity for him not to sneak af all. and again urged him not to do anything that would embarrass President Wilson. He said he was going to speak anyhow.
 REFUSED TO HEAR SPEECH
 we took dinner together and Mir Huddleston insisted that I go to hear him make the address. I told him my mind was made up as to my course IS to the war, stat ing that I was in Belgium when the Kaiser turned loose his ruthless hordes on that peace loving coun- try, and that I would not listen to him or any other person speak against conscription or in favor of peace at that critical time.
 This shows George Huddleston's attitude at the beginning of the war and his subsequent actions would indicate that he has not changed in mind or spirit Hud- dleston does not in any particular represent the patriotic elemtnt of the citizenship of this great district He should be replaced by man who is 100 per cent patriotic, one who represents the entire citizen ship of the district, one who is brave enough and loyal enough to set aside his personal ambitions. his visions and his isms' in the interest of his country and the cause of world freedom"

Wn. Badhan1 Lands Plane
 Safely With Wounded Pilot

"I saw a recent letter from Will liam Badham, who is now in the aviation service in France. in which he recounted 8 narrowing experi- ence that he had just passed through while making an observa- tion trip over the German lines" said Frank Nelson, III.
 Tt seems that William and his pilot were speeding along 15.0oo feet in the air when suddenly they encountered several German planes who immediately gave battle. Dur ing the skirmrs1:, the pilo. tele- phoned back to Badham that he had been wvlnded and asked him to bring the ship down. Badham grasped the steering apparatus.

w hatever may be George Hud- dleston's attitude now on the pros ecution of the war" said MT. Gib- son. T know of my own personal knowledge that he did everything in his power to embarrass the Presi- dent when war was about to be declared, and l know that he made speeches opposing conscription, and in the advocacy of peace at that time. This agitation has since been proven to be part of the Ger man propaganda to keep America out of the war
 BAND WAGON TACTICS
 Tt is an easy matter for a per son to get on the band wagon when practically everyone is united in one common object, the winning of the war; but the man to tie to is the man who stood the loyalty test when times were critical. I have known George Huddleston for years. I know we'll his attitude re- garding war and conscription. At the time when it behooved every loyal American to stand by the President and his advisers; when the sinister effects of the German propaganda in this country were in evidence everywhere, George Huddleston was found wanting. The following is a matter of rec ord:
 "On Sunday morning. April l, 1917, I met George Huddleston in the lobby of the Essex hotel in Boston. He told me he was in Bos. ton in response to an invitation to deliver an address that afternoon on the subject of conscription He also stated that he was opposed to conscription.
 T recall stating to him that con scription was the only fair way to conduct the war as the sons of the rich and the sons of the poor, the high and the low, would be re- quired to do their part. I said the war was war for liberty, and being everybody's war, everybody should do their part.
