SCORED BY JUDGE FORT IN
 GRAND JURY CHARGE
Grand Jury for January Term Organized in Grim inal Court, With E. $.
 Cheek Foreman

In a vigorous charge to the grand jury for the new term, organized yesterday Judge W. E. Fort urged rigid investiga- tion of the reckless automobile driver, the violations of the prohibition law
 gambling and other special matters that
 might come to their attention. Judge
 Fort dwelt at length on the seeming dis regard of the speeding autoists for life and limb, and called attention to the
 fact that many women and children had
 been killed or seriously injured by this
 class of law breakers
 Among other matters which Judge
 Fort brought to the attention of the grand jury was the street car situation
 He stated that the people were entitled
 to efficient service by all public utility corporations, and stated that the authori- ties were seeking remedy to better eX-
 isting conditions, which he stated were
 far from ideal at the present time. He stated that no good purpose could be served by application of mob law. for no
 matter how great the provocation, if mob law is applied in one instance with out condemnation, it will be applied to other cases, and the only possible re- suit would be anarchy. In speaking of the auto speeders Nudge Fort said that no matter how urgent it
 might be for automobilists to reach their destination, the life and safety of the citizens came first. and that reckless dis regard for other peoples rights should be promptly remedied and only by bring ing this class of offenders before the ha nf ha In addition to the special charges Judge Fort gave the general charges as required by law and explained in de- tail the several degrees of crime in the l cases that might come under their in | vestgation.
 1 The grand jury and petit juries for the week were organized yesterday morning | by Judge Fort in the first division oi the criminal court, and after being i'm paneled and sworn in conn .vnceG upon their duties.

FRIENDS OF MUSCLE SHOALS WELCOME
 AN INVESTIGATION
Of Birmingham. Ala. Statement December 31, 1918
 
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editer of The Age-Herald
 The article in Sundays Nge-Herald from Washington reporting, MT. Long worths attack on the great dam being constructed across the Tennessee river at Muscle Shoals. in which he will ask for an investigation, should and will only addN strength to this great constructive work.
 This project has been investigated time and again by men who know it's merit, and each investigation has made it big ger in benefits and possibilities. Ths inn mense power plant and project has been indorsed by the Southern Commercial congress, and by the Farmers union of the United States, and when MT. Long worth tackles this he will get this power full union against his plan.,
 We know the greatest problem of this age is to feed the peoples of the world, and to do this we must have cheap fer tilizers This work, therefore, has more than three purposes, namely: cheap fer tilizers,i navigation, industrial and com mercial and will always make the United States independent for nitrates in time of uecu ol luluiO NdIo. HIS sileoSh io PA w ably political, but the wise members Of Congress who have stood by this great development so faithfully will continue to indorse this plan in the future, as they have in the past, and when this the greatest dam and power plart in the world is completed, generating 660O0O horse power, and the largest dam in the world, it will be a national asset and wonder And it's a mistake that any att tack should be made on the biggest thing of it's kind in the world, and instead of it's being waste it will be an asset to the government in which they can get results.
 Some feel that MT. Longworth will in dorse after an investigation this work, and when completed join hands in the celebration it will mean so much for the south and the United tSates.
 This project was authorized fully one year before we entered the war, and is a peace proposition as well as for pre- paredness. MASON D1LLARD. \

PENSACOLA AS PORT

The railroad administration is under
 stood to favor Pensacola over Mobile as
 port of entry and departure, Regional
 Director B. L. Winchell of the railroad
 administration having intimated as much
 in a statement made at Pensacola few
 days ago, according to press dispatch sent out from there at the time.
 This is a matter in which Birming- ham is also interested because of the fact that the rates on her products to Mo-
 bile. by way of the Warrior. are cheap CT than to Pens4cola, but with the rail-
 roads throwing their influence to another port and the lack of proper facilities a, Mobile the latter's closer proximity. short CT haul and lower transportation rates will avail little. Ships must be avail
 able to take the tonnage delivered there otherwise it will go elsewhere.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-01-14
UNIFORM OCEAN RATE

In this connection it is stated that the United States railroad administration has under submission uniform ocean freight rate and wharfage charges that would take away from Mobile the advantage
 now possessed in the way of low charges. The charges at Mobile are said to be less than at any other port on either the Atlantic and gulf coast, due to ex- ceptionally favorable conditions there. If the railroad administration succeeds in it's plan this advantage would be taken away and much of the ocean shipping now going there would be diverted to other ports.
 Birmingham is directly interested in this matter by reason of tba fact that
 Mobile is Alahama's only port and what
 ever makes for cheaper freight rates
 and port charges at Mobile makes for
 cheaper transportation for Birmingham. The Birmingham district freight traffic committee, with which the petition was filed several days ago, will hold an open hearing tomorrow at which time num- 1 ber of Mobile men, directly interested i in the matter, are expected to be present
 for the purpose of presenting their side of the argument.
