Three Youths Charged
 With RObbing Fruit
 Stand at IrOndale

James Cody, Bob Crawford and John Blake. white boys ranging in age from 1e to IS years, were arrested at Fort Payne yeNterday and brought to Bir- mingham by Detective Richardson and placed in the county jail on a charge of grand larceny. It is alleged that the boys entered a fruit and cigar stand owner by man named Rollins at lrondale Thursday night and stole d quantity of cigars. fruit and other things.
 According to Solicitor J. R. Tate, Crawford and Cody confessed to the onense stating that two of them en- tered the stand through a rear window while the other watched on the out side. Blake was not present when the alleged confession was made and when asked about it replied that he had noth- ing to say. When told that the other boys had confessed. he inquired as to what they told After Solicitor Tate related the story to him, he remarked. We'll they told pretty straight tale about it "

for the national defense
 Touching on the alleged inadeuuaey of provisions in the joint resolution for compensation for the seized lines. and the claim that Mir. Burleson was partial" and was seeking to bring about government ownership of the lines. the court said
 The allegations touching the partial relevant. He will not make the pre- iminaries estimates of the compensa- tion due, but the President. who has not even deputed the defendant tc act for him. Even had he done so. the final decision rests with him. But the whole question is irrelevant in any case be- cause of the resort given to the court of claims"
 Following the rendering of the de- cision, William J. Deegan, secretary of the Mackay companies, issued a statement announcing that an appeal would be taken at once.
 There is one phase of the decision. however which is exceedingly grati- lying" he said We alleged in our bill of complaint that the delegation of authority by the President to Burle- son was Illegal. The court practical ly sustains that position and that, ap- piled to our land line system, knocks out the award of compensation of s1,- 6S0.000 that Burleson gave us, all though we earned s4.269.0
 This award was made by Burleson and not at all by the President so this decision by Judge Hand would ap- pear to invalidate it.

 OF NATIONS FAVORED BY SPAIN
By Associated Press

Madrid, January 10.-Concerning the entry of Spain into a league of nations, King Alfonso, in the course of a long interview with the editor of the Madrid Review, said today:
 Spain is a progressive nation and is disposed to live within the concert of nations. She must, by her conner cial relations and her treaties, main tain close union with her neighbors
 The trip to Paris of Count Roman ones. our premier was of enormous importance. It resulted in a demon stration of the fact that Spain is In position to be useful and that in a situation such as this that we can be considered seriously. Count Romanones is one Spanish statesman who has shown the greatest courage during the war by his convictions and the manner of setting them forth. His loyalty has been proved and the patriotism he has rendered has been of enormous service to Spain"

Half Million Dollar
 Fire at Columbus, Ga.
By Associated Press

Columbus, Ga, January 10.-Fire here tonight destroyed the plant of the Home Mixture Fertilizer company, burned POGO bales of cotton and seven railroad cars, three of them loaded with meal, caus- ing loss estimated at between SsO0, ,0O0 and S00,0O. The blaze. which was be- iieved to have been caused by a spark from passing locomotive was outside the city limits and the local fire de- partment was unable to give aid in bring ing it under control on account of a lack of water facilities.
 Huge quantities of cotton seed meal stored in the buildings were consumed by the flames, While officials of the company refused to give any estimate of the loss to the company, 1t is under- stood that most of the loss is covered by insurance.

millions. These owners have borne the burdens of construction and improvement of the great arteries of commerce. Tn almost every case the first investors in railroad securities. especially in the years between 1890 and 1870. lost sall or nearly all of their investments. Probably in the interstate commerce commissions libra ry can be found statistics which set forth the original cost of building. equip ping and establishing terminals for our great trunk lines. If to this sum, which rises into the billions. there should be dded the money collected from stock holders by repeated keorganizations it is certain that the total sum would repre- sent far larger outlay of money than does the present capitalization repre- scented by stocks and bonds of the rail- road corpora tons. The Northern Paci- fife railroad has been reorganized several times and the stockholders have contri- buted large sums for that purpose. The Atcheson. the Reading, the Erie and the Union Pacific have been reorganized more than once stockholders contribute ing in the aggregate large amounts or money to perfect these organizations. The WabashA has been reorganized at least four times and great deal of new money has been paid in by its stock and bona holders durin. the past 90 years.
 Therefore, if these statistics are to be taken into account then it is believed by railroad executives that the figures will show that instead of overcapitalization or watered stocks the railroads are un- der capitalized. and there is no real water in the capitalization. Furthermore. our gold production and our railroad devel- opment could be written in history oy parallel columns, at least from one point of view. For it is believed that the gold that we have had cost more to produce than it's money value represents, whereas the American railroad systems as they stand represent a cost of production. inn provement and equipment probably greater, measured by dollars. than the present value of the capital stock

CABLE INJUNCTION AGAINST BURLESON
 DROPPED YESTERDAY
Counsel for Cable Companies Announce an Appeal Will Be Taken From Deci-

By Associated Press

New York, January 10.-The injunc- tion suit brought by the Commercial Cable company and the Commercial Pa cifc Gable company to restrain Post master General Burleson from taking over for the government their respec- tive cable lines and merging them with lines controlled by the Western Union Telegraph company was dismissed to- day by Federal Judge Learned Hand. Counsel for the companies announced that an appeal would be taken.
 Judge Hand decided the case on it's merits, <passing without decision the jurisdictional questions raised by the United States district attorney, who eontended that the spit could not be maintained on the grounds that it was directed against the United States and in effect against the President
 Taking up the claims of plaintiffs that the seizure of the cable lines on November 16, five days after the sign ing of the armistice, was not justi- fled by the joint resolution of July Is, 1918, authorizing the President to seize cables when he deemed it necessary for the national security and defense" and that the resolution itself was not a sufficient warrant for the seizure. Judge Hand decided both claims ad- versely.
 Commenting on the contention of counsel for the cable companies that the necessity" for the seizure within the meaning of the joint resolution had terminated with the signing of the ar mistice, Judge Hand said:
 The resolution expressly extends the powers until peace has been declared. Had they tCongress) intended that a ci or of hncfi1itioS ch in ate the right, they would not have said preciSelY the contrarY.n
