Noted Prima Donna Cannot Accept Invitations-Sends Message of Regrets

Many courtesies would have been ex- tended to Geraldine Farrar, the world famous Metropolitan opera prima don na and famous moving picture star, during her visit here if she could have accepted them. She appears for the first time in Birmingham tomorrow evening at the Jefferson, under the auspices of the "All-Star Concerts"
 Miss Farrar's concert tour is of such a strenuous nature that she has been forced to decline all invitations as she must enter upon her duties as the lead ing star of the Metropolitan opera inn mediately at the close of her present tour.
 The Rotary Club of this city through it's President, pr. Percy H. Woodall, wired Miss Farrar at Mobile, where she sang Sunday afternoon to capa- city audience in the largest theatre there, that the club would be pleased to have her as it's "honor guest" at the regular weekly luncheon, but as the beautiful prima donna does not ar rive here until tomorrow at noon. and never accepts invitations on the day of her concert, she has wired her regrets and at the same time her very sincere appreciation of the graceful courtesy extended by Dr. Woodall and the Ro- tary Club.
 Miss Farrar arrives on her private car tomorrow and her concert which will take place in the evening will be one of the most brilliant musical events that Birmingham has ever witnessed.

HEFL|N ID SPEAK HERE THURSDAY
 ON GREAT ISSUE
Senator Returns Home After Hard Speaking Tour In Doubtful States of
 North
Senator Thomas J. Heflin will speak tr

Senator Thomas J. Heflin will speak in Birmingham Thursday night and in Gull man Friday morning at II o'clock.
 This announcement was made yester- day by L. L. Herzherg of Gadsden who is chairman of the Seventh district demo- cratic committee.
 It had not been fully determined last night where Senator Heflin would speak in Birmingham, but the arrangements will probably be completed today. The Alabama orator returns to his home state after long and strenuous speaking tour ir some of the doubtful states in the north where he did some effective work and was greeted by very large and en- thusiastic audiences. He did some espe- cialIy effective work in Kentucky.
 Senator Heflin is spending the final week of the campaign in the Seventh district of Alabama where the republI- cans have been making an especially hard fight against Congressman. Rainey, the democratic nominee.
 W. D. Uesbitt, state democratic chair man. stated last night that he had been in conference with E. E. Matthews, coun- ty chairman, regarding place for the Heflin meeting Thursday night, but that arrangements had not been completed. MT. Heflin always draws large audien- ces when he speaks in Birmingham, ana with his message fresh from the Dattle- fields of the north it is expected that he will be heard by probably the iarg- est crowd that has ever greeted nm here

GOES TO BRO0KWoOD
Harrison Wants to Prevail on Men
 to Return to Work

While the Alabama Company was pre- pairing to resume operations despite the strike of the men at Brookwood and Searles, w. l.. Harrison, international organizer for the United Mine Workers of America, was headed to those points yesterday afternoon with avowed inten- tion to prevail on the men to return to work pending effort at negotiating a new agreement with the company.
 The union leaders do not like 1t said that the Blue Book contracts have be- come scraps of paper. MT. Harrison put it this way early yesterday afternoon just before leaving for Brookwood and Searles:
 "We shall exhaust every effort to have the Blue Book contracts lived up to pending our efforts at negotiating new wage agreement. These contracts were not made with the union and have been temporary affairs. but we will do our utmost just the same to have the men stand by them while we try to negotiate the new wage agreement.
 NEW AGREEMENT
 When MT. Harrison was. asked what would be done in the case of the opera tors who finally declined to negotiate the new agreement, he said: When it comes to that point we will decide our future course. We fully expect the Blue boOh OperaC0E6 10 see tue auVantdSe UT the new agreement and sign it."
 The union leaders contend that both at Brookwood and Searles the matter of the new agreement had nothing to do with the strikes, but that the presence of the military at non-strike mines followed py breaking up of mass meetings had brought things to . head.
 The coal operators. do not regard the appeal of President Lewis to the Presi- dent as a momentous matter and do not seem to think that anything wIll come of it. They appear to be inclined to rest flat on their original contention that contracts made in Alabama are not binding and will point to strikes at Blue Book mines as examples.
 BLUE BOOK MINES The union headquarters have received copies of the printed form of the Bel- tona agreement and were busy yestsr- day mailing them out to the different Blue Book mines The leaders do not seem to be in >any hurry to rush mat ters The joint conference stands ad- journed until November 5. and even shat date has not been set As time limit for forming the new agreement.

STATE DEPARTMENT SLOW ID RECOGNIZE
Would Await More Complete Demonstration of Character

By Associated Press

Washington, October 25.-Recognition of the new government of Mexico awaits more complete demonstration Of it's character and purposes, it was said today at an informal discussion at the state department. The department, 1t was added, would be ready to recom- mend such recognition as soon as Mexico had given proper assurances that ths rights and property of Americans in Mexico would be protected; show willing ness and ability to meet the outstand- ing international obligations and enacted laws to provide that foreigners in Mex ico have rights as we'll as duties.
 State department officials were said to feel that reports of conditions in Mexico indicated that the new government was in control of the situation, and having reasonable success in maintaining order. The situa tions as to recognition by the United States, it was added, however, was as yet unchanged, although Roberto V. Pesqueira, new Mexican confidential agent here, was said to have conferred

DEVELOPMENT If
 INLAND WATERWAYS OF ALA. IS AT STAKE
Passage of Seaport Amend ment Essential to Progress of State--Reduction of
 Freight Rates

Murray Brown, president of the state harbor commission, has sent a telegram to every Rotary and Kiwanis Club in Alabama, telling their mem bers that the future of inland waterway development is at stake; that the further develop ment of the rivers will stop and the shippers of Alabama stand to- lose the reduced freight rates unless the seaport amend ment is adopted.
 Members of these clubs are specially urged to go to the polls on Tuesday. November 2. and vote "yes." for amend ment No. 1. Let's make it unanimous" says MT. Brown.
 Former Senator Harry T. Hartwell of Mobile, member of the state harbor commission, put Tn hard days work at amendment headquarters. MT. Hartwell expressed the opinion that practically all of the women voting at this election will cast their ballots for the seaport amendment.
 He bases this prediction not only on the progressive attitude of women, gen. orally, towards public questions, but also on the theory that the women are most deeply interested in practical plans for reducing the high cost of living, and they will readily understand thn tirv,a fa gox xffvN<r "a n<,v ,cttYvN ar through a twenty per cent reduction in freight rates, through the operation of joint rail and water rates.
 An intensive campaign for the sea port amendment has been launched in Etowah county by the Gadsden Cham Der of Commerce. Capt. W. D. Lay, di- rector of the Alabama Waterways As- sociation, is taking a leading part in the activities there and speakers will be sent to practically every precinct of the county. R. B. Strickland is show ing the picture, "The Port and the People, at Attalla, Gadsden, Alabama City and other points in the county this week.
 Directors of the Tennessee Valley Bank system have indorsed the seaport movement calling upon their represen- tatives at numerous valley towns and cities to put forth their best efforts in it's behalf. c. V. Rainey campaign chairman for Walker county, reports great enthusiasm there for waterways and port development. The waterways picture is being shown at Jasper. Gov. Thomas E. Kilby and Fred erick I. Thompson, recently appointed | on the shipping board, have been in- vited to go on the steamship City of Montgomery on her trial trip Wednes- day with the harbor commission.

.LYCEUM LECTURE BY JOHN COWPERp pOWYS Psychology of English Race Is Is Subject of First Lecture
 of Course

At the first of the Birmingham Lyceum course of lectures, which took place at the Temple Emannu-El last night, John Cowper Powys delivered an interesting and decidedly original version of the psychology of the English race. Accord ing to MT. Cowper, each race is possessed of it's peculiar aspect of psychology which it is busied in putting into effect All of the psychoogys of the nations com <bined to make an international, and it would be interpreted, perfect basic for the whole.
 England, has a psychology that funda- mentally consists in the expression of the individual" stated the speaker 'The Englshman can take up the most radical of ideas. and go just so far. but he al ways manages to keep that conservatism that is the rock of English character. The English have an almost insane re- spect for the person. I don't doubt that there is more personal freedom in Eng land than in any other country in the world. Don't confuse this with simply political freedom, for by personal I mean the right to think just as he pleases and the courage to be himself of which he takes fullest advantage"
 The chief outcome of this individual ism, MT Powys said, is the idea that
  men. "It Is not matter of being an aristocrat, of having ideals, or being artistic or even in having good man ners, the English idea of gentleman is that which man puts into action. How does he act when he is up against it. !" Then he grew almost excited, for an Engishman who he says himself never prostrates himself to an idea, as he said, that's it, action. Action is the . thing that is below ideals, art, science or even morals. The Englishman has gotten on the bottom rock of things and is trying blunderingly to express all of those ideas that are only titulations. in action.p This. though blundering and sometimes stupid. Mir. Powys thinks, is the ultimate object of all ideas.
 MT. Powys is the first of a series of Lyceum lectures to take place at the Temple Emmanu-El which has been hospitably offered. On the occasion of last night Rabbi Morris Newfield intro duced the speaker and expressed the welcome of the members of his congre- gation and indorsement of any educa- tional movement for popular good as worthy of occupying the auditorium. Several hundred people attended the lec- ture by MT. Powys

The terminals are to be modern in every particular. The bins are to re- ceive the coal from railroad cars as they arrive from the mines and have. it stored and in readiness sor the barges as they come up the river to be loaded. This will release the freight cars at once and prevent congestion at the port.
 HOURLY CAPACITY
 The capacity of the bin in unloading cars will be 300 tons per hour and its capacity in loading barges from bin will be 400 tons per hour. The largest ves> sel on the Warrior will be loaded in four hours time.
 Contract is to be let by Noven beA 10, and the work will be pushed to completion.
 A coal bin at Cordova will serve the same purpose in it's way as one at Mo- bile. because it will count for the ex- petition of. srvice both as to cars and barges.
