JUDGE MARTIN TO
 DECIDE ST A T U $
 OF CHIROPRACTORS
Six Chiropractors Tried for Prac- ticing Medicine Without Li- censes.-Defendants Deny
 Charges

After pending in court for about a month, trial of chiropracters charged with practicing medicine without H- censes were finally completed in police court yesterday afternoon. Recorder Henry J. Martin will announce his de- cision at II o'clock today.
 The chiropractors who have been arr raigned are: J. c. Glover, James A. Edward, w. K. Dean, Stephens Brew . ster. Ada Brewster and J, D. Rall The legal question as to whether chiro- practor is physician and should qualify as such has caused much dis cussion.
 The city held that they treat human ills and as such should certify before the state board of medical examiners. The attorneys for the chiropractors argued that their clients do not ad- minister medicine or follow the estao- lished lines of combating diseases. Hence they claim that they do not need to spend years of study on sub iects they do not need in their work.
 The chiropractors were represented by Attorneys Sterling Wood William Vaughn and E. T. Rudulph. The city is represented by George L. Bailes and Jere C. King, assistant city attorneys. If found guilty. the law prescribes a fine of up to s1o0 and 1S0 days in such cases.
 s. B. White who was arrested on a similar charge, has forfeited his bond of s3O0 and disappeared. The case of M A. Freyant has been set for Au- gust 5.

NEW ENGINEER IS COMING ID LOOK
 AT WARRIOR PORT
To Familiarize Himself With Birmingham's Water Transportation Facili-
 ties, Major North to
 Be Here Tomorrow

Maj. R. s. Thomas, federal engineer sta- tioned at Mobile. and Maj. Early North, his successor at that place, will come to Birmingham Sunday with Henry T. De- Bardeleben, manager of the Warrior transportation system, and while here will visit the Port of Birmingham
 Major North will famiiiarize himself with other stations on the upper Warrior incident to his northern Alabama visit.
 Experts of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company have been contributing their talent and time to the finishing touches that are being placed on the Port of Birmingham equipment. They have done a lot of work for the port at diff ferent times and materially aided in mak- ing of it a worth while job. The Tennes- see company has also contributed 2, of the money that has been expended in building the port, and is the largest cus- toner of the port.
 Steel shapes from the Ensley mills. both for the Chicasow yards al Mobile and for export, have been a regular movement via Port of Birmingham at the 20 per cent freight differentials. The port is largely due to the generous treatment it has mad at the hands of the Tennessee company.
 Just as soon as the ore buckets that have been ordered are placed at the Port of Birmingham, the up-river movement of Brazilian ores for the Tennessee com pany and Southern Manganese Corpora tion will begin, and become a regular northbound business.

CENSUS BUREAU WILL ACCEPT THE
 RECHECK MADE BY SCHOOL COUNT
HOrnady Informed By Washington New Figures Will Be Official for En- tire City-Figures Want ed at once
Definite assurance was given yesterday t h a t Birmingham will secure a re-check of the federal census returns.

federal census returns.
 This information was contained in a telegram received by Commissioner John R. Hornady from Assistant Di- rector Stewart of the census bureau at Washington.
 The telegram which gives full au- thority for a re-check is as follows
 Letter of 26th received. We
 will accept list covering entire city
 if you will include only names of
 persons residing in Birmingham on
 January 1, giving addresses as of
 that date. Give also present ad-
 dresses if persons have moved
 since January l. Arrange list ac-
 cording to enumeration districts by
 streets and house numbers. Re-
 quest cooperation of supervisor if
 necessary in grouping according
 to enumeration districts. Hope
 you can mail list by close of next
 week. but take time to arrange it
 properly"
 The concession means a great deal to Birmingham. Commissioner Hornady says. Formerly the bureau had given permission to check only few blocks as test of the correctness of the census. The telegram permits list of all persons who were missed in the city to be sent in. Authority to send in this list was given when the bu- reau was informed that school census was being taken in Birmingham. mak- ing a re-check of the federal count comparatively easy.
 Final reports from the school census enumerators will be heard by the com mittee seeking 8 correction at the Civic Association at 1 o'clock today. Work of taking the school census is practically completed. However, MT. Hornady stated, the school enumerators covered a portion of the city before the check of the general population began. Arrangements will be made at the meeting today to cover this terri tory.
 As soon as the names of all persons omitted by the federal enumerators are arranged according to directions of the department, the list will be sent in to Washington. It will be com paratively easy task for the bureau to discover any omissions from the census.
 All names not included in the
 figures announced will promptly be
 added to Birmingham's population.
 The joint committee which is In charge of the work is very enthusias- tic. They confidently expect to at least put Birmingham in the 1S0,00o class.
 "If we do, we will be satisfied" said Commissioner Hornady.

No Few Handlings Be- tween Farm and Table.
 Risk All the Way

There's many 8 boost in the price Of vegetables 'twixt producer and con- sumner.
 From the time vegetables are picked in gardens until they are prepared for the table they are handled several times. Each of these handlings calls for a profit.
 Lots of vegetables, either carloads or smaller, are made up by farmers who ship to their commission merchants. The commission brokers in turn consign the cars to wholesalers, in many cases never seeing the goods on which they are reap ing a commission.
 By the time the goods reach the whole sale produce merchant he pays the fol- lowing prices, according to quotations of yesterday, on five of the staple vege- tables: Cabbage, S3.50 per hundred pounds; Irish potatoes, cents a pound; onions, 2h cents a pound; sweet pota- toes, S2.50 a bushel, and tomatoes. A crate.
 Produce merchants buy in small lots. Supply is renewed daily. and is usually disposed of in the course of the day. The common practice on Morris avenue is to have a car consigned to several of the merchants, who divide it among them- selves
