Three freight cars were broken into

police, and the stuff which had been

There were four boxes in the lot

They were marked for Mt. Sterling

that the thieves who broke into the

off to a hiding place, and that Hurl-
hey found the hiding place a half

TRAINING SCHOOL IN

Baptists Coplete Preparations for
 Course, Opening September 26

Plans have been completed for the city, wide training school for Sunday school workers to be held at the First Baptist Church beginning September 26. This is an annual affair and is looked forward to with a great deal of interest on the part of the officers and teachers of the various churches.
 The indications point to a good attend ance, already many teachers and officers and prospective teachers having ex- pressed their intentions of enrolling and scores have already enrolled.
 There seems to be friendly rivalry be- tween the larger churches of the city as to which will enroll the largest number in this school.
 In addition to the various courses of- fered for text book worK series of round tables on practical plans will De conouct- ed each evening by the leading workers of the city. At these round tables oppor- tunity will be given for general discus sion of any practical problem.
 The programme will close each evening with an address. Dr. w. c. James. cor responding secretary of the educational board of the Southern Baptist Convention, will speak on Monday. Tuesday, Thurs day and Friday Dr. I. J.

CITY WILL FIGHT
 TELEPHONE RAISE Gov. KiIby's Aid Invoked to As- sist In Resisting the
 Proposed Raise

Believing that the proposed raise in burdensome to the people, Commits sioner J. Ellis Brown has entered into with Governor Kilby and Attorney General J. Q. Smith, ask ing their assistance for the municipali- ties in fighting the increase.
 The letter to the governor follows:
 You are no doubt aware of the fact that the Southern Bell Telephone Com pany has filed a petition with the Ala bama public service commission ask ing for just and equitable rates for it's service in Alabama.
 Since the matter affects all the Deo- pie of the state, I fell that 1t is the duty of the state to assist the munich palities in conducting the case. The city of Birmingham, with other cities, will resist any raises and will handle the matter to the best of their ability. I, therefore, request the attorney gen eral or special counsel appointed by your excellency to assist the munich palities in this case"
 The city has employed I. W. Ross. an expert utility engineer. to assemble data and otherwise prepare evidence and information to be used in the case against the telephone company. Bir- mingham. Montgomery and other mu- inequalities will join hands and plans are being made for a meeting of the | city attorneys as soon as possible.

BIRMINGHAM METAL IS BEING SHIPPED
 ALL ABOUT WORLD
Steel and Iron Products Cross ina All Oceans and Usually Starting Down the
 Warrior

Birmingham steel and iron products are going far afield in quantities.
 In addition to other shipments hereto more mentioned, the United States Cast Iron Pipe Company is moving 1000 tons of water and gas pipe to port of Bruns- wick whence it will go to Cuba, and 5Oo tons to the same port for movement to Santos, Brazil.
 Prior Birmingham pipe shipments since April to far-away places have been the following:
 To Los Angeles and San Francisco, via Mobile and the Panama canal, two cargoes of $500 tons each to Tokio, Ja- pan, via Savannah, a cargo of 5000 tons: to Batavia, Java Islands. 1000 tons. NEW BUSINESS There is now about to leave Mobile on the ship Cape Roweena for Los Angeles and San Francisco a cargo of 5000 tons of gas and water pipe. The total reported movement of Bir- mingham cast iron pipe to the far-away fields since April. including the current shipments, amounts to nearly 10000 tons of value of a million and third dol lars.
 During this period three steamers have left Mobile with 6,OOO tons apiece of Bir- mingham steel shapes for Rotterdam and one for Japan. Another is loading with a like amount for Japan and China now. the Mobile City. The total is about 30,00O tons of finished steel, valued at about two and a half million dollars.
 Walker county coal is moving in quantities both out of Mobile and Pen sacola every week. It is going to Cuba, to Italy, to Rotterdam, to France and to other points. Much greater quantities would have moved had there been ade- uuate loading devices at Mobile and Pen- sacola.
 NEED OF TERMINALS
 All of this material could have gone under a 20 per cent freight differential had the Warrior river been ready to serve by having the vessels and the ter minal facilities. That great saving in freight rates will not be assured until the Warrior is properly equipped.
 Industrial experts agree that the pos abilities of Alabama's export trade are without limit and that all that stands in the way of development is the lack of adequate facilities on the Warrior and at the port of Mobile. These men are a unit in advocacy of the sta.e port aiei amendment and the Jefferson county river aid amendment to be voted in No vember.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-09-12

The increase for 1920 is 321,4 tons, or twenty-five per cent
 The August production fell a few thousand tons below that of July, which marked the record for the year. but was 33,426 tons above the produc- tion of August, 1919. This is an in- crease of twenty per cent. The increase in furnace production has come at a fortunate period. Dur ing the first part of the year the pre- vailing price was $40 per ton. with one interest selling at s38. By June, the market had hardened to base of SAP, with higher prices for the silicons above 1.75 to 2.25. That is the oasis today and the vast bulk of business is done accordingly.
 Some small producers have sold spot metal at s43 and even at s44. but the big interests have felt that $42 mar ket was more stable and have not tried to so higher.
 The years production in Ala
 bama will be around 2,5OO,OOO tons.

HOT OND STILL HEATING STATES WEATHER MAN

After a week or so of cool weather somebody turned on the heat yesterday hnd proceeded to make Birmingham sweat.
 Hot. Yes. At the hottest time which |was at S:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, the weather man put on his smoked klasses and looked at the mercury, which |was leaping upward in an alarming fash kon but which finally stopped after hav- hng registered 91 degrees. But that's nothin gto what new aiti- kudes flights the mercury will make to-
 hay, promises Weather Observer Horton. hn other words, he says. if the ice cream parlors and the soda fountains did a Food business because of the heat yester- |day. then they ought to do land-offics business today.
 For, says the weather man, if the mer- |eury stops before it has registered at heast 95 in the shade today it will cer- |tainly surprise him, and that there is no |rain in sight to cool things off a bit |for many days to come

ORPHAN FLIVVER
 IS CONFISCATED

It might have been good, moral little flivver car for all anybody knows, but appearances were all against it, so it was condemned and sold to B. c. Burkhart for $375, and now 1t has smirch on its good name all because federal prohlbi- ton officers found ten gallons of wildcat whisky reposing under the back seat way last July.
 Saturday the case of the United States versus one Ford automobile was brought up in the federal dis trict court, it was provided that ten gallons of wildcat whisky were found in the car, nobody was quite clear as to just what agent was to blame for it's presence there, the car was scondemned and subse- quently sofd. As far as any moral breach is concerned the flivver might have been, and very likely was, entirely innocent. It was just another one of those cases of con- demning on circumstantial evidence.

Today, the second anniversary or the battle of St. Mihiel. Is n day fraught with many memories for members of the One Hundred and Sixty,seyenth Infantry. who took mn important part in the offensive. The FOrty-secOnd or Rainbow Di- vision, of which the One Hundred md Sixty-seventh, "Alabama's Own.' was n part. was one of the veteran divisions in the engage ments and occupied the center of the battle line.
 This engagement. which has been called by historians the acid test of the efficiency of the Amer icnn troops as an organized fight ing machine. fell heavily on the First, the TNventy-sixth and the FOrty-secOpd divisions, the first main veteran divisions engaged.
 Two years ago on the night of the 11th. the veterans of the One Hundred and Sixty-seventh Infan- try were marching through the
