November l5.-(Special)-Th self-propelled steel barge Birmingham, first of the new equipment to Dc placed in service on the Warrior river, is due to arrive in Mobile Tuesday afternoon from New Orleans, and after dscharging will begin the loading of a large cargo of freight up the Warrior river.
 The barge will ne open to inspection throughout the time that the BirminS- nam is unloading and loading freight at the local docks The board of directors of the chamber of commerce will go in a body to the foot of St. Louis street to see the Birmingham.
 The Birmngha T left New orleans or Sunday afterboou. but yesterday morn ing was reporte just outside the Mis- sissippi river. Weather conditions were not favorable fer the trip along the gulf coast, and it was not known at the local offices of the Mississippi- Warrior river waterways yesterday afternoon whether the barge would be able to reach Mobile during Tuesday or not The high northwest winds made the sea very rough, and it was feared the trip would be too hazardous for the Birmingham to attempt it.

fREGRET AMERICAS ABSENCE

Buenos Aires, November 1i.-All the newspaper of Buenos Aires, commenting on the opening at Geneva of the assem- blv of the League of Nations, express regret at the absence of the United States from participation. Nevertheless they all express the belief that the Wash ington government eventually will jon the league.
 La Presna expresses the opinion that the absence of the United States IS que more to reasons of internal policy thah to motives of an international character
 President Harding, says La Presna, has not repudiated the prh- ciple of a society of nations, so thae there always exists possibility that III the end the United States will adhere to the league, but only when 1t has oeei' modified with reservations which would create for the United States speciai interest in the entity.
 "a Nazions says if the United States fails to join the league, the Monroe Doc trine would continue to be an express sion only of one part of the new world The newspaper adds that it is impos- sible to say at present whether there s to he concord or clash between tho policv of the league and the Monroe Dec- Urine
 Ia Razon also discusses the question: saving there does not remain the ieass doubt that the old problem or Iacna- Africa will be one of the principal mat ters taken up at Geneva. If the League of Nations secures the elimination or this cloud which from time to tine darleps the South American sKies, IL will have removed the only grave trou- ble to our international relations

The two candi- dates for mayor are John w Parker, a former mayor of Meridian, and J. B. Francis, railroad conductor Those in the race for councilmen are J. M. Slaughter, Paul McRoy, Albert Coving- ton, c. H. Watts, J. E. Bolton and A. P'Pool.
 During the past few days considerable interest has been awakened in both con- tests, but the fire that has character.
 zed all previous municipal campaigns has been etirely absent. The result is much in doubt, and it is expected the race for both mayor and councilmen will be close

alleged poor work was covered up by doping with red lead and other mn- terials."
 l He named hull 15 among others as an example of alleged poor riveting work Asked if this ship still was afloat, he said he did not know. Chairman Walsh asked how it was that ships on which poor riveting was alleged to have been done were still afloat, and the witness said he could not tell. He afterwards said that poor work might not cause a ship to break down for four or five years He challenged the committee to go with him to any ship they might name that was built during the war in some of the yards and he would point out to them evidence of poor work.
 He asserted that it should take at least one or two years to train a riveter prop erly, but admitted that during the war emergency ships were needed quickly and that skilled men could not be had. In his work as inspector, he added, he had charge of two hulls at time, with supervisions over 15O to 1So men. He testified there were instances of work that he had condemned not being done over. It was a spirit of patriotism" he said, which prompted him to persevere in his attempts to correct slack work in riveting. He explained he did not want it to be his fault if a ship went down with men on board.
 TALKS TO HURLEY
 Eventually, Purtel1 asserted, he did talk with,IChairman Hurley in New York and was told to put his complaints in writing.
 q told the chairman that I had a cramp in the arm from writing" the witness said.
 He presented a letter signed by R. H. Bailey Jr., assistant to Chairman Hur- ley, in which he was informed that his complaints had been investigated and found to be unwarranted He was also told that his charges were without foun- dation, and that for various reasons, the ship yards would be just as well off without his services
 The witness condemned the competi- tion in riveting that took place during the construction period. He said that it led to poor work and he added that he make the passing Of a poorly driven rivet a crime He also testified that he knew of inspectors who had resigned because they felt that some day a9 "blow would come and they might be sent over the line"
 Replying to question, he said he had never heard of a ship that haG gone down through defective riveting. One ship among the first turned out, he said, made three attempts to sail, and then on her fourth managed to get as far as Bermuda, taking 92 days to make trip to Genoa and return. The ship, he said, suffered from 8 complication of dis eases. He expressed the opinion that the main trouble on the 92-day voyage was probably due to defective fuel oil.

For many reasons we have come to

devotion to the cause. This conference
