from interested parties at Montgomery yesterday the committee to which the bill had been referred stood two for favorable report, two against it and one undecided. An effort was being made during the morning to report the bill out favorably and put it on its passage without delay~ Unless early action were taken, it was believed, the bill could not be passed at all.
 The pending bill contains no compul- sorry insurance clause. as do the com pensation acts of nearly all other states. This is said to be serious de- feet in that an injured employe has no assurance of getting the award after it is made in the event the employer is involvent, or the amount he might be compelled to pay out in case or an accident resulting In the injurins of several employees at the same time would cripple him financially.
 It is contended by those who advo- cate compulsory insurance that it should not be left optional with the employer whether he carries his own risk, but that he should be required to take out insurance either with the state or with private corporation or if he prefers, and is solvent give him the privilege of securing the pay ments by bond in bonding company

CONDUCTOR SHOT BY
 NEGRO IMPROVING

Belton Mansell, a negro of about 25 years of age, was arrested on the street lat Avenue F yesterday afternoon by Chief Detective George Lyons and Detec- lives Burge and Richardson and is being held at the city jail as the assai!ant of J. w. Perkins. a e+~oo+ ~ar "r- who was shot and seriously wounded on the Owenton-Ensley car line Tuesday night.
 The officers have not been able to posi- lively identify the negro as the one who did the shooting, but he answers the description of the negro given by wit nesses to the shooting. He also answers to the description of a negro who shot Ia street car conductor in Memphis, Tenn, some weeks ago.
 Conductor Perkins was rushed to the St. Vincent's infirmary immediately after he was wounded, where it was found that one of his lungs had been penetrated by the bullet. Reports from the hospital last night were to the effect that he is rapidly
 improving.
 The shooting was the result of dis pute between the conductor and the wife of J. T, Harrison, negro insurance agent, in reference to amount of fare paid. Dr. U. G. Mason, Oscar Adams and J. T. Harrison appeared before Chief Shirley and asserted that the conductor had threatened to slap Harrison's wife if she disputed his word Harrison also stated that the negro who shot the conductor was unknown to his wife. Chief Shirley has ordered a full investi- gaton of the case.

PERU HOPEFUL

Paris, Wednesday,, January 29.-"We trust that the peace conference and the league of nations when Peru brings up the question of the provinces of Tacna and Africa, will take view favorable to us, although we remained neutral dur ing the war; said Senor Ibanez, Chilean minister to France, in talking with the Associated Press correspondent today.
 "The facts prove," continued the min- ister, that we have strictly observed the terms of the treaty of Ancon of 1884. That treaty prescribed that under cer- tain conditions a plebiscite should be held at the end of 10 years to decide whether those two provinces desire to remain under Chilean rule or go over to Peru. Peru did not fulfill these condi- tions. On the contrary she demanded new ones providing that all Peruvians in Tacna and Africa should be allowed to vote, irrespective of the length of their stay in the provinces, while for eigners and Chileans were to be allowed to vote only after having resided there certain number of years.
 Gan there be-" the minister asked, "a more patent confession that Peru felt sure the plebiscite would go against her is it were organized in a fair way? We consider that since Peru has not com piled with the terms of the treaty she has forfeited her right to benefit from it."

Civic Bodies Oppose Government Ownership
 of the Wire Systems
Chamber of Commerce and Business Mems League Adopt Reso-
 lutiOps

Two of Birmingham's business or ganizations went on record yesterday as opposed to permanent government ownership of the telephone and tele- graph systems of the country and also in oppositionl to their early return to the owners.
 The board of directors of the Cham Der of Commerce and the Business Mems league, meeting separately at the Chamber of Commerce, adopted
 identical resolutions which the secre- taries of the two organizations were instructed to wire to the Alabama dele gation in Congress.
 The resolution was first adopted by the directors of the Chamber of Com merce and then without change adopted by the Business Mems league. It reads as follows:
 Resolved, That it Is the sense of the Chamber of Commerce of Birming- ham that the provision of the present law for turning back to the owners the great wire systems immediately upon ratification of peace terms is unWise and injudicious for the commercial interests of the country, and in the belief that these systems should be re- turned to the owners we ask Congress to prolong that time sufficiently only to allow adequate preparation for re- ceiving such properties back. which preparation may properly include the passage of such laws as may provide for the kind of supervision of wire service which will insure to the users of this character of service such fa- cilities as the increased demands of the future may require"

LONDON INTERESTED
Rv Axsociated Press

London, January 30.-The discussions of the Paris conference regarding the future of the former German colonies is being followed with intense inter est here. In some sections of the press there is a strong feeling against the British delegation for what the Globe calls giving away the empire" great majority of Englishmen. the newspaper says, strongly support Aus tralia's claim to the islands of the Pacific and South Africa's for posses sion of German East Africa.
 Indications that the claims of the dominions are not being supported by the British government delegation have caused some alarm. The Morning Post, for example, says:
 If the British delegates weakly per sist in this attitude they are not only surrendering the British interests en- trusted to them, but they are sowing the seeds of such bitter discomfort as might disunite and disrupt the Brit ish empire
 The Globe, taking this same line. said:
 These former German colonies, un- der the scheme proposed, with its mandatories and the remainder of it's visionary suggestions, will fall~ under the control of the league of nations, which does not exist and which no practical statesman believes in. Pres ident Wilson. however, Is intent on trying his prentice hand, and proposes to do this at the expense of the Brlt- ish empire and it's allies, France, Italy and Japan"
 The Pail Mall Gazette says 1t is dis tinctly unfortunate that the reasons advanced for President Wilson's pol icy are not fully expounded so as i've can see how far they counterbalance its somewhat obvious draWbacks.
 The Standard opposes the mandatory scheme for the Pacific and German Southwest Africa, saying the islands are necessary to safeguard Australia and South Africa. It adds that Austra- liaz is as much interested in the Pacifi< islands as the United States was 1T the Hawaiian islands, when she an nexed them.
 The Westminster Gazette asserts the dominions need not be alarmed, a: they will be the permanent mandate ries in the territories in question.

IMMUNITY FROM
 PROSECUTION OF PACKERS DEBATED
(COntinued from Page One)

resolution offered by Representative Becker of Missouri, which specified that if the commission refused to give the names, the committee should demand them. Objection was made by Chair man Sims, who declared the commit tee did not have that power. MT. Deck CT replied that the committee could go before Congress and get the power if that was necessary. The investigation of the packers, he said, had involved such important matters that it was highly important that it be completed in every detail so the public could 'be informed whether the packers should go before a grand jury or be given a clean biu."
 Representative Winslow said he did not doubt that the trade commission was inspired by honest motives in mak- ing it's investigation, but that the com mittee should not accept secondhand evidence as the basis for legislation
 DILLON SECONDS MOTION
 MT. Decker's motion was seconded by Representative Dillon of South Da- kota, but vote on it was not taken be- cause several members objected, say ing that MT. Winslow should be allowed to proceed with his testimony. The committee expects to dispose of the res o1ution tomorrow. It agreed that the packers should be allowed to appear again if the commission witnesses were examined.
 In taking up the examination of MT. Swift regarding the Missc uri, Kansas and Texas yards, MT. Heney read let ters to show that Swift & Co and Ar mour & Go. had refused to ship live stock over the railroad as long as the road maintained it's yards and that later when the yards were abandoned an agreement was reached to ship a certain volume of stock over the line on cer- tain days.
 "WeH. I want to explain that" sug- gested MT. Swift, but the raising of the immunity question caused a recess and executive sessions of the committed and delay in the testimony until late in the day.
 MT. Swift said the railroad stock 1 yards were merely feeding yards, had not been successful and probably would have been abandoned by the rail. 1 road anyhow.
 | You and Armour refused to shir over the Katy in order to bring all the | live stock to your yards, though, didn't you?' asked MT. Heney

 The<bill as it was drawn by the com mission created by the last legisla- ture is not satisfactory in all it's parts to either the employers or the em- ployes, but the present opposition to it is said to come from the labor or ganizations.

JAPANESE IsSUE DENIAL

Paris, January 30-The Japanese peace delegation today issued a for maj denial to publications in Paris newspapers based on an interview with Marquis Okuma. former premier, purporting to give the Japanese peace policy The denial terms the publica- tions as "glaring impositions" and says that the use of Marquis Okumas name was unwarranted. It is declared the assertion that the present Japanese cabinet bases it's policy on Marquis Ol1uma's statement Is absurd.
 Marquis Okuma, in a statement pub- lshed in the United States on last De- cember IS, outlined his idea of Japan's S peace terms. He said that Japan should approve all decisions reached by Great Britain, France and the United States

 .It wasn't a case of threat" con- tinued MT. Heney. You simply with drew your business from the Katy.
 "We may have, withdrawn some Mir Swift started to say, but was inter- rupted by Mr. Heney who said:
 "You withdrew so heavily that you forced the Katy to close its stock yards in return for your shipping cer- tain amount of stock"
 MT. Swift said he thought the Mis- souri, Kansas and Texas might have closed the yards quicker if the action had not been requested.
