POULTRY PRODUCT,
 LIKE DIAMONDS.
 IS STILL GOING UP
By EUGENE TRAVIS

spheroidaI reproductive bodies produced after period of tn- cubation by the gallinaceous fowl last night retaiied in the local marts at 20 cents per dozen for those guaranteed to contain ni- bumem and n yellow disk of pro- topIasni.
 Ten years ago they were called hen eggs and sold for 71s cents per dozen instead of 7M cents or more per egg.
 This is the highest price ever maid in Greater Birmingham for common, ordinary, iow-down hen eggs. so far as the oldest pioneer can recall.
 One customer. in buying n brace of two eggs yesterday, remarked to the profteer that once upon n time he paid $1O for one egg. Hut he had hurled that egg at person orating on the virtues of Il 16 to metallic standard when Billy Jeems Bryan was in his prime.
 In the cabarets here of late the home guard noted that eggs, In either shipwrecked or floating in the ocean form, were going up daily at the rate of s cents per crack.
 At the present rate, acording to what the wife of barber gentle man is quoted as saying, one can make n perfectly beautiful pound cake at home now for as little ns S14.75, figuring the present cost of sucar. eggs, butter and flour. The barber gentleman ndded that nt his house they had doughnuts every Sunday.
 The only consolation offered by the profiteers is that they're seIl- ing for $1.1O per dozen in New York.
 Col. John H. Taylor, communications CT of public safety, upon his tours abroad met n native in Ireland who wns carrying bucket of water in one hand and basket of cabbages in the other.
 AWhnt do you ask for cabbagesp' the cornish inquired.
 s.Five cents per hend,' replied the Irish huckster.
 "Do you know if yOu were In Bir- minrham you could get 10 cents per head for your cabbagesP' the cornish added.
 .sYch, know,- rejOfned the Irihsman. "And if I was In hell could get $1O per gallon for this common creek water"
 But don't get away from this physical fact---eEss are selling for % cents per dozen In Birmingham, and one grocer had the nerve to predict they would go to S1 per dozen before Christmas.

 ly Circumspect

In a signed statement given to The Age-IIeraId last night. c. A. Warren, who is alleged to have been assaulted by C. c.

 MT. Warren declared that his relations with Mrs. Wade had never been other than entirely circumspect and that Wade, when he committed the alleged assault, did not charge him with anything. but refused to explain why the assault was being made.
 The assaulted man, who is well known and very popular over the district has been 8 salesman for several concerns here for a number iof years and stands high in the estimation of his employers and his associates.
 His statement regarding the matter follows:
 Tn view of the fact that statement has been published, purporting to have been made by C. C.. Wade. to the effect that his assault on me was because l lad ruined his home, Feel that m JUS tice to myself my family and my friends, should make this statement. There is not word of truth in this charge against me. It is utterly without foun- 6ation in fact. He made no such claim to me at the time he and ONeal com nitted this dastardly assault upon me although I begged him to tell me wf1Ss the trouble was. He refused to give me any reasons. I have never had any jim proper relations whatever with Mrs Wade My conduct toward her has never been other tran that of a gentleman.

ERROR IS ALLEGED

Mir. Altman also alleges in his motion that the court erred in sustaining the objection to question that was asked one of the witnesses, Dr. V. kissell. MT. Altman stated last night that the main part of the motion, however, was the part claiming that the name of the person alleged to have been assaulted appealed in the indictment as Mrs. w, H. Cutchff, while it should have been Julia Cutcliff, and, therefore, that the verdict is contrary to the evidence,
 As the case stands, William Cutcliff is now in the county jail awaiting sen tence on a charge of assault with in- tent to murder. Yesterday before the motion was filed by Mir. Altman sem tence was not passed by Judge Heflin,

 completed an additional interesting fact is that the ovens have been constructed by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company organization without any out side help, which work is the first under taken by any company in this country Usually the patented or designers build the ovens. The Fairfield ovens are of the Hopper design, with additions by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad com pany engineers and practical oven men. The statement is made that this fact alone gives to the Fairfield plant added significance in the coke trade.
 The new ovens will give the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company an out put of 5000 tons of coke per 24 hours, and while that is onlY slightly in excess Of the company requirements, it is stated that an increase of approximately 10oo tons can be obtained without and dini- culty. which will take care of the maxi mum requirements until new blast fur naces are constructed, which is believed to be development of the near future.
 In this connection it is stated that the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad com pany will, after January 1, discontinue taking coke from the Semet-Solvay plant at Ensley, from which the company has been obtaining coke for many years. The coal formerly given to that plant tor coke will be diverted to the Fairfield di- vision, it is stated, and coked there.
 In the old days the inauguration of new industry costing $2,50o,eo0 would have been hailed as a wonderful development but at the rate and costs Of plants being constructed by the steel corporation a. Fairfield these smaller plants have failed to obtain the interest formally displayed in their construction.
 The indications are that during 1920 the developments at the Fairfield properties of the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad company will exceed any work done in the past, which is saying a great deal, according to past performances

sEMET-soLvAY ARRANGEMENT

The Semet-Solvay company, it is stated, will either dispose of it's plant at Ensley or continue operations under different ar engagements. They have been getting their coal from the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railr oa1 company, but it is understood no further supply from that source will be available
 The by-product plant, one-half of which was put in operation yesterday, will have cost, when completed. about $5.0oo.ooo, one half of the appropriation having been ex- pended on the 17 ovens now completed.
 The ovens are one-half of the appro- pria tion of s5,0c0,000 for new ovens at Fairfield, the remaining ' being con- structed at this time and will be coni- pletel and ready for operation within the next 90 days.
 The new ovens give the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad company 357 ovens in operation, and when the additional ovens are completed Q series of 434 ovens at Fairfield When it is called to mind that this plant is the third largest in America, if not the world, an adequate appreciation lis available of the Fairfield division. The largest in this country is at Gary, while the second largest coke plant of the Steel corporation is at Clairton. And when it Is recalled that George c.

OVER. REPRODUCTION WARNING
ISSUED TO TEXAS OPERATORS

Dallas, Texas, May 22.-The probabil-
ity of an early increase in the daily out
put of the Burkburnett pool, which
might be sufficient to cause a temper
ary overproduction of oil there and per-
haps result in serious disadvantage TO
that pool, unless drilling is done in more
moderation, is called to the attention
of the Burkburnett producers by the
Magnolia Petroleum company, one OF
the two major pipe line companies af-
fording an outlet for oil produced there
The warning was communicated by the
Magnolia company in letter to Frank
Kell, of Wichita Falls, Texas, where
the letter has been made public.
The Magnolia Petroleum company ad-
dresses Mr.. Kell as a large producer of
Burkburnett crude and asks his coop
erat ion and that of other Burkburnett
producers. to keep drilling within rea.
sonahe bounds. 1t is pointed out that
much of the acreage in the new terri
tory that has been recently opened up
is cut up in small blocks and that the
owners apparently are trying to do
everything possible to get all of the Oil
out of the ground right now. 1t is point
ed out that pipe lines and storage IA
cilities are already pretty well occupied
with taking care of the present output
Of the pool.
The production of the Burkburnett
pool is now approximately 10000 barrels
daily. More than POO new wells have
been started within the last four weeks.
most of them in the new territory open
ed up by the Burk Waggoner and other
big wells.
