 ''One of the things that made me want to be with your club today was the fact that so many of the members had seen active service in the world war. Mrs Scully and myself also spent IS months in war work at Duluth. Minn., and While it was very hard work it was most inter esting. We were able in our small way to aid in recruiting men for the army
 "You knew, on many occasions where a man was turned down in, the Unlteo States army he was accepted in the Eng fish.

 SPENT MORE MONEY
 The State Fair head was quite optirn- istic over the coming show and he has lust cause to be, for every indication is that the banner fair of all-time is coming next week More money than ever before has been spent in assemb- ling the live stock show, the amuse- ments, the free attractions, the fire works features, the carnival company for the midway. the turf events, the au- tomobile races and the like. Greater care has been exercised in rounding out the programme of events for the ban ner fair of Alabama. So minutely have the directors, the management and President Brown gone over every detall that all parties connected with the Far are now assured that the amusement and educational triumph of the state will be served the thousands of visitors beginning Monday week.
 Secretary J. l.. Dent received a tele- gram yesterday from Billy Pickens, manager of Lieut.. Ormer Locklear and the International Aerial circus. MT. Pickens stated that Locklear was in excellent health, and anxious to get to Birmingham because of the fact that Lieutenant Elliott, who pilots one or his planes. is an Alabama boy, hailing from Galsden.
 GADSDEN BOY GREAT FLYER
 "Elliott's native state has never seen his wonderful flying" said Pickens ''and as he is recognized as the cham pion flyer of America, Locklear wants the boy to show them something they have never seen before Locklear and Elliott are the warmest of personal friends and they make a great team The daring Lieutenant Locklear who is heralded as the worlds most fearless man, will be in Birmingham in time for the opening day and will make his change from one plane to another in mid air on the opening day of the fair There is more interest in theIcoming fair than any that have preceded it due to the fact that the people have looked over the mammoth programme that has been arranged, have gasped at the large number of feature free acts and realize that this years fail | is to surpass them all in every depart ment.

TRIAL OF FORMER KAISER IN LONDON
 IS NOT PROBABLE

LONDON, July 24.-It is possible that former Emperor William may not be tried in London, according to an announcement made in the house of lords today by Earl Curzon of Kedles- ton, government leader in the upper house
 The lords passed the peace treaty and the Anglo French treaty through all stages. In the course of the dis cussion, Viscount Bryce, former am bassador at Washington, deprecated holding the trial of the former German emperor at London.
 Baron Buckmaster said there were grave reasons why the government ought not to pursue any further the project of trying the German war lord. It was certainly uniting, he said. to ask an English judge to sit on such a tribunal to administer a law he does not know by procedure and has never been defined, in a court he does not control
 In his reply, Earl Curzon said he thought the kaiser in exile in no way comparable with Charles I or Napo- leon, He was unable to imagine that man who hah ignominiously fled his country could be turned into martyr or hero by trial, while his national presence near the German border might be political danger.
 It might be, however, that the trial would not be held in London. No final decision has been reached and the chances of the trial becoming a spec tacular show and disturbing public opinion and the daily national life. were competent and important consid erations.

TRACTION COMMITTEE HAS LIVELY SESSION

WASHINGTON, July 24. - Eugene N. Foss, former governor of Massa- chusettS, advocating the government ownership of all public utilities, and James L. Quackenbush, counsel for the Interborough Rapid Transit company of New York, who declared MT. Foss' proposals were stuff and nonsense" gave the federal electric railways com mission today the liveliest session since it started it's investigation of the condition of street railways in this country.
 Private ownership has fallen down." MT. Foss asserted "There is left only public ownership with private opera tion or public ownership and opera tion."
 Put stop to this cheap talk, to this old stuff" retorted MT. Quackenbush. The thing to do is not to talk bun kum, but to recognize facts. Unless we can get an increase in fare between now and January, it means a receiver for the Interborough. If you are going to do something, get busy"
 MT. Foss expressed a belief that the electric lines in his state would be well on the way to public ownership before snow flies" Recent fare increases to 10 cents in Boston were not popular, he said. resulting in a loss of 25. per cent in traffic and s4,000 a day in 1 revenue.
 Control of railroads by the govern ment during the war was said not to
 be fair test of government owner l ship by MT. Foss.
 Asked about increases in operating costs. MT. Foss declared the railways
 had "grafted and stolen so" that no | commission had the courage to tell the | public what ought to be done.

MOTOR GAR THEFT
 LEADS ID ARREST
 OF TWO SUSPECTS

An investigation which Constable Haze Burch has been carrying on since early in May, eliminated yesterday in the arrest of J. H. Close and Alfred Cooper who are believed by officers to be members of a gang which has been systematically engaged in the stealing of automobiles, for the purpose of wrecking them by the removal of portable parts, such as tires, rims and other accessories which are sold to smore or less unscrupulou dealers.
 Many cars have been found so de- nuded days after they were stolen. They have been damaged to the extent of hundreds of dollars for returns to the thieves of comparatively small amounts. The constable had suspected the gang to which Close and Cooper belonged, so that their story that the crime for which they were arrested was their first is not believed But for the suspicion of the officer against them of previous thefts they would not have been taken for this one.
 More than two weeks ago an Over land auto of George F. Cooke of the Phoenix Wholesale Meat company was stolen and fifteen days later it was found in the brush at Nineteenth and Jackson. Five tires and four rims had been removed It was later found where the tires had been sold
 When Close and Cooper were ar rested, they at first denied the story of the theft, but the sale of the tires was so closely brought to them that they i did not deny that. They said that they had seen some one drive into the river ! in big auto, take something from it and bury it in the sand. They thought it was booze and after the auto had driven away they made an investiga- ton and found the tires. Their first inclination was to bring them to town
 and turn them over to the officers I But on secand thought they needed
 money and decided to sell them They
 did so through an agents.who repre-
 scented to them that he could sell al
 the stolen auto parts he could find
 he had a reliable fence"
 But later, Close and Cooper admitted !, that they had stolen the Cooke autt , and stripped it of the tires and rims r The rims. they said, were buried il z the sand of the river bed. They woult
 show hte officers where they are. '' hope" said Close, that the judge vii give us a good long term; l alway

Democracy For

 Plan of Labor
LRepubIIean A. ?. Leased WIrel

ST. LOUIS, Oct 22.-The establish ment of an industrial democracy, through collective action and by col lective bargaining, is the intention of labor, according to an address pre- pared by Matthew Woll, vice. e-president of the American Federation of Labor, and read before the convention of the Investment Bankers association to- day.
 Tt is unfair and radically wrong to permit the old order and relation of master and servant to continue" said MT. Wolls letter. This relation must give way to the more humane and modern relation of co-operators.
 ITO the workers this is industrial autocracy of the same vicious form that was formerly exercised by the kali ser This arbitrary and autocratic rule of the employers must be destroyed and the ideal of democracy must be put in it's place. The right of the work CTS to be consulted; the right of the workers to have an impelling voice in the management of business and in the determinating of the relations, the standards and the requirements of em- ployment which should govern, must be permitted a full and free exercise. It is collective action and by collective bargaining that the American wage earners intend to establish industrial democracy"
