As a Logical reflection of the rec

lative loans outside the stock mark

intensified its drive upon initiation.
against unnecessary loans. It sug-
gested the probability Of higher dis
count rates IL past increases prove
Intellectual. The board apparently
anticipates a crash if inflauonary
tendencies are not curbed.
Whether the restraint upon loan
will restrict legitimate business is I'd
question which business men are
asking. This result IS certainly not
among those intended. The current
month and the next few succeeding
months should normally be period
of heavy Industrial financing. New
year interest and dividend payments
are rapidly returning TO the banks
and the monetary situation would
ease were conditions not extraordi-
nary. Il is evident. however. that
bankers and business interests must
proceed with caution and that only
loans designed 10 increase produc-
ton along necessary lines will stand
high.
Congress has reconvened after the
holidays for long and arduous
session fraught with many dangers
and complexities. Seldom has like
array of fundamental problems con
fronted an American legislative
body. Paramount are the twin
problems Of labor and advancing
prices. which will, perhaps. concern
the executive branch Of government
more than the legislative in as much

ing railroad legislation rightly stand
first i'm the order Of business.
Viewing the business situation as
whole, the growing sense Of dan
ger and of need for cautious and
discerning leadership presents the
most encouraging feature. Basic
conditions are sound and no reason
exists to fear a sudden panic or ca
tastrophe, providing the Am erican

PROTEST OMISSION
 FROM RAILROAD BILL
Scores of Telegrams Sent Protesting Against Fail ure to Provide for
 River Traffic


 Scores of telegrams from Birming- ham civic and commercial organiza- tions and from business men went for ward to Senators Underwood and Bankhead and Representative Oliver of the Tuscaloosa district yesterday, protesting against the omission from the railroad bill of any provision for operation of the river transportation systems following the return of the railroads to their owners next Mon day.
 The teleSrams were sent in response 10 telegram received from Charles r. Wood manager of the Port of Bir minsham Corporation, stating that the biH as passed two or three days ago contains no provision of this kind
 Birmingham is deeply interested in water transportation. Her business men have made a long and persistent fight for the Warrior river, and they are determined 10 continue and build up the traffic already begun on that stream if it is possitle to do so.
 With the totally inadequate equip ment that has been provided for the river the monthly tonnage has already mounted into the tens of thousands of tons. and with additional boats and targes it will be increased several times. Manufacturers and merchants state that they are ready to use the river to the utmost possible, just as soon as equipment essential to handle their offerings is available.

Numerous Telegrams From Senator to Campaign
 Managers Are Aired
By Associated Pres.

Grand Rapids. Mich, February 25.- Telegrams passing between Truman H. Newberry in New York and his cam paign Managers in Detroit were read into the record today at the elections conspiracy trial.
 Allan A .Templeton. president of the Detroit Board of Commerce. February 1S, 1918, advised Commander Newberry that "the Cody men" and others thought Paul H. King quite neces- sary. A message from Newberry to King on July 2 informed the cam paign manager of midnight tele- phone conversation with William AL den Smith, retiring United States sen ator
 Smith telephoned from Grand Rap ids, asking if I would surely stick to a finish" read this message. q re- piled most emphatically yes. He said he did not want to run. His petitions were all ready and he would decide and wire me Saturday. He wants to see me here next week. Seemed very friendly and I asked his support"
 Another message from Newberry, dated March S1. ordered Fred P. Smith, agent of the Newberry estate, to Sub scribe for me through Liberty loan committee" for page Liberty loan ad- vertisement.
 On April f. Newberry, thanking Mill ton Oakman of Detroit for a telegram announcing indorsement of Newberry by the Wayne county republican com mittee, commissioned Oakman to thank each committeeman oh behalf of the candidate.
 A message from King, dated April 15 said "Currie advised Larned arrives New York today or tomorrow. Sug- gests you call on him gaining his SUD- port for you. Big dinner planned for his return and enthusiastic friends may suggest his candidacy"
 Later Newberry was informed by E.. r. Emery that Oakman had brought word that "Couzens will not run"
 On two occasions Newberry was ad- vised by King exactly what to tele- graph to the heads of Detroit repub lican organizations in expressing re- gret that he could not attend certain functions but had commissioned King to represent him.
 The Newberry- Osborn Smith eoC- ference in New York. which never took place, was referred to in two tele- grams.

 The present bill, it Is understood, ad- heres comparatively closely to the meas ure as outlined by Premier Lloyd George in the house on December 22 last. The governments project centers on the sit- ting up of two parliaments in Ireland one for the south and one for the north
 Home rule, as the government hopes to give it to Ireland, is based primarily upon the declaration of ;he premier in his December speech that Great Britain ca1- not accept separa tion." But the largest opportunity will be given to the Irish people to unite on the constitution of parliament. in the course of time, which will embrace Ireland as whole

 One of the fundamental features of the bill has always been a council represent ing the two parliaments and 1t IS unoer- stood that this council will derive US powers from the two bodies which Will he responsible for it's selection.

 AUTOPSY ARE RESTING WELL

According to information received from a local infirmary last night, Fred Kyle and Robert Mickler, both of Fort Payne. who were painfully injured Tuesday night when their automobile turned over near Johns. Ala, are rest ing comfortably and will recover
 It was understood that the men were returning from Tuscaloosa and were driving their machine on the railroad tracks owing to the fact that the roads were almost impossible. A slight de- pression in the rails caused the auto mobile to turn over, pinning Mickler underneath and throwing Kyle into the road. The injured men were brought to Birmingham by a passerby
