GAS CONTROVERSY \
STILL UNCHANGED

There were no new developments
Friday in the gas controversy. Wal
ter p. Armstrong, city attorney,
stated that he had not Feen advised
by gas company officials to whether
or not they would accept the city's
proposal in view of the attitude of
the federal court and the utilities
commission.
AS the matter now stands, gas and
electric consumers are apparently no
nearer securing full service than they
were two weeks ago. The receivers
certificates are unsold and the in
creased rate is not effective.
All objections raised by the gas
company and the receivers have been
swept aside save the provision that
f. G. Proutt have the authority to
discontinue increased rates in the
event Of disagreement with the re-
ceivers as to management, operations
or service.

TO ASK SQU|RES
TO BUILD JAIL

Shelby county will have new
Jail at the earliest possible moment,
TO replace the old Civil War insti-
tuition now serving as a place OF
housing county prisoners. This was
decided when +. w. Nale, John
Brown and Luther Jones. county
commissioners, met late Thursday
with Judge J. Ed Richards, for First
criminal court; Sam o. Bates, at
torney general, and Sheriff o. H.
Perry. The officials decided that
they would put a request for new
Jail up to the Shelby county court.
Political affiliations make it almost
certain that the court will vote for
the new Jail. .....
An enabling act was passed several
years ago, authorizing a $25O,OOO
bond issue for the construction OF
a new Jail. Increase in building
material and labor costs probably
will cause the powers behind the
movement to ask for $500,000
It is probable that opposition to
the construction of the new Jail will
arise in the county court, certain, of
the magistrates believing that con-
struction costs are too high at this
time. But the political lines with
in the court makes it almost certain
the sheriff will have a new housing
place for prisoners.

ENGLAND WANTS TO COOPERATE
 WITH AMERICA

LONDON Major General Sir F. H. Sykes. British controller general of civil aviation. hopes to arrange for complete cooperation between Great Britain and the United States in all matters relating to flying. This is the purpose of his journey to Ameri- ca. on which he expects to leave
 The American Ambassador John w Davis, told General Sykes at a fare well luncheon to the British controller that he thot American cooperation might be taken as assured.
 General Sykes said that the inter national air convention, based in the main on regulations for air navi- gation in Great Britain, now had re- ceived the assent of all powers allied and associated in the war except the United States and Japan.
 The national tendency in aircraft development in Britain" said General Sykes, lis to allow individual enter prise to work out it's own salvation in the main and no scheme of gov ernment subsidies such as that in Trance has. so far, been adopted
 But he pointed out that did not mean that the government will spend nothing to promote enterprise.
 With a view to stimulating the efforts of designers and manutac- turers of heavier-than-air craft an to guiding them toward the attainment of greater security and reliability" he continued, "an official competition has been instituted which Is to be held next year. The prizes offered amount to E64.000 The rules of tn" competition are framed to encourage those attributes which are required in the future
 Prizes will be given for the small type of airplane required for business pleasure and sporting flying in the British Isles; secondly. for the la g. weight-carrying machine which eX. perience suggests will be necessary 60 meet the conditions of trans-Conti- mental traffic and, thirdly, for a type of Mamphibious flying boat which, in view of it's power to alight on and rise from land or water, cannot taii to find many uses'
 The civil aviation department of the air ministry, he states, is an en- tirely new departure" on the part of the government Its purpose is to advise the aircraft industry and ron der it all assistance possible, to open international relations, to lay down internal and oyersea air routes. to establish stations for landings and de partures, to deal with all meteoroI- ical matters, and to provide informa- tion on that subject as well as a host of others connected with aerial nayi- gatiOn.

BRAZIL HAD NO
 DIFFICULTY TO
 RATIFY TREATY

RIO DE JANEIRO.-GB Ratifca- ton or the peace treaty by Brazil presented no serious difficulties It was accomplished on the anniversary of Armistice Day. yesterday
 Action by the senate and chamber of deputies followed the receipt of report by Deputy Carlos de Campos summing up the effect of the treaty upon Brazil and Brazil's special in terests in it.
 Referring to the league Of nations. Senor de Campos said he beliey ed history had taught most civilized countries the necessity of supreme tribunal which would endeavor rc maintain the securities of the peoples by right and not by force of arms. This consideration. he said, would be preponderating factor in favor of the practical realization of the league.
 The most delicate part of the treaty, was that relating to the trial and possible punishment of the former German Emperor. He pointed out that the Brazilian constitution does not recognize capital punishment and that the Brazilian delegates at Versailles had limited themselves to accepting the statement that those guilty of in- fractions of the laws of war and hu- manity ought to be punished. He de clared that Germany. by implicitly ac- cepting the "sanctions" section of the treaty had recognized in the five great powers the right to judge and apply punishment.
 The portion of his report dealing with this phase of the treaty was sub sequently eliminated by advice of the commission on diplomacy and consti- tuition of the national congress.
 Senor de Campos announced that by promptly establishing diplomatic and commercial relations with her former enemies. Brazil would Loyalty adhere to the principal that peace .oncn accepted ought to be practiced with out mental reservations.

 ONE BACK FROM

Declared dead by the attending physicians after long Illness of heart disease, he returned to full consciousness, partoOk of food and talked gaily with his son.
 Meantime, in the belief that the end had come, the court had bestowed posthumous honors upon him and a hearse had been ordered to Oiso, seaside resort near Towio where Count Terauchi was staying. Hun dreds of telegrams of condolence nau been received by the family, and these were followed by messages of felicita- tons when the joyful news was spread that the count was actually living. The court withdrew the hon ors mistakenly conferred
 q am sorry to have given you so much trouble" Terauchi is quoted as saying to Countess Terauchi. He referred to the fact that owing to the premature announcement of his death she had counted herself a widow for about day. Let us blow the farm together upon my full recovery" the field marshal continued.
 My mental diary lacks two days, is another remark attributed to the resuscitated soldier, flor the life of me I cannot recollect anything that happened in the days of the 20th ana 21st of October"
