 Cullman. March 7.--(special) = When President Wilson appointed as Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby, New York attorney his act was of great interest to many people in Cullman and Cullman county, where Colby visited a few years ago.
 His stay in Cullman county took place at the time that the Cullman Coal and Coke Company was building railroad and opening up the coal fields near Bre- men, which place is located in the south western part of the county.
 Queen Wilhelmina of Holland pur- chased some coal lands in the southern part Of Cullman county. The company formed for the opening up of these fields was known as the Cullman Coal and Coke Company There were a good many people in both Holland and this co,hicry who became interested in the new under taking Among others who came to Gull man at the time was a member of the Dutch royal family.

Jem BeLcher Won Worlds
 Championship At Age Of 19
Attracts Interest Early Age, and Is Challenged by Bartholemew-A Draw Rematched, and Title
 Changes Hands
By JAaEs J. coRBETT.

tThis is the first of series of three articles which deal with the ring career of Jem Belcher, the twentieth heavy weight champion of the world)
 Few names in pugilistic history are bet ter remembered than that of Jem Belch- CT one of the greatest fighters that ever lived and the youngest man that ever climbed to the heavyweight throne.
 One of the singular things concerning Belcher is the fact that he succeeded to the title which had been held only a generation before his time by his grand father, John Slack. It is the only time in all the years that pugilism has been known that a grandfather and grand sen both have been possessors of worlds fistic crown.
 Belcher, born in 17S2, developed physical maturity rapidly and at the age or 10 was a husky youth, notching trifle De- yond six feet in height and beaming , around TO. At that time he was bit frail in appearance, but not frail in ac- ticn. Every ounce of flesh on his frame seemed to be nothing but solid muscle. He seemed to have inherited love for | fighting and even before he was II had engaged in number of minor encount- I CTS, winning them all.
 A CHALLENGE
 l It was in 1799. prior to his seventeenth | D1rtnQdy, that belCneT atlTdCtcu iidtioii"h attention. He was spoken of in various quarters as a coming heavyweight cham
 pion. Some of the conversation reachV
 Jack Bartholomew, then the title holder and the nineteenth king of pugilistic Eng- /, land. Bartholomew became angry be-
 cause some persons declared that they i thought Belcher was good enough to whlp him. And he blurted out:
 "Pll fight this little upstart anywhere
 and any time. I'll fight him for nothing,
 just so I can get the chance of thrashang him soundly, or I'll fight nm TOT money. Word of this reached Belcher, who expressed a desire to take on Bartholo-
 few. The youngster had supreme confi- dence in himself and felt that he cosld lwhip the champion if he got the chance. So did Bill Warr, a ringman of some
 note and a great trainer and conditioner tof fighters He sent for Belcher told lhim to go ahead and make the match fu
 S10O side bet. and then set about tram ing the youngster for the fight.

GERMANY DECLINES
BOLSHEVIST OFFER
Foreign Minister Says Reds Invited
Cooperation in Fighting
Europe.

Berlin, Sept. 2.-Dr Walter Sim
mons. the foreign minister, address
ing the reichstag foreign affairs COM
mittee today, declared he had been
urged to coliaboratc with the Russian
bolsheviki against the western pow
ers as means of breaking bounds
imposed by the treaty of Versailles,
but that after mature reflection he
had rejected this course.
"If we had followed these exhorta-
tions," said the foreign minister,
Germany would Immediately become
the theatre of war. Furthermore,
the disastrous consequences which
bolshevism might be expected to
bring with it would have fallen with
double force upon Germany"
DR.. Simmons said proposals also
have been made to Germany to CO.
operate with the western powers
against Russia, which he considered
an equally impossible course.
"No power at war with soviet Rus

LAKE .FREIGHTERS WILL
TRANSPORT MUCH GRAIN
lBs Lnternatlonal News service J


Chicago, Sept 6.-The lake route
to the East is to be used to its full ca
pacity for the shipment of grain this
year, according to members Of the
Chicago Board of Trade and Chair
man Clark of the interstate Conn
meree Commission. Chairman Clark
recently announced that such plans
are being worked out.
According to figures available IN
Chicago there is enough tonnage on
the Great Lakes to carry 122 100000
bushels of grain on one trip. The ton
mage was greatly increased during
the war period. From 1916 to 1919
inclusive, twenty-seven boats were
built in Chicago with a gross tonnage
average Of $4,000 tons.
Despite transportation handicaps
which have been source of consider
able uneasiness, grain and transpor-
tation experts believe the question OF
distribution of the big grain crops
will be worked out without any seri-
Gus results. The stabilizing effect on
prices resulting from the resumption
of dealing in wheat for future deliv-
cry has been of great economic value
to the country in general, according
to students of agricultural economics

EXCOMMUNICATED
MAN PAINTS POPE

Rome Sept. 3.--A mild sensation
has been created in Vatican circles by
the discovery that the artist Crosse,
who has just completed a picture Of
Pope Benedict, is the same Crosse
who was accommodated by Pope
Leo XIII, twenty-five years ago for
painting and exhibiting an alleged
indecent picture at the Venice expo
sition.
The new portrait, representing the
pope kneeling in prayer, is a most
remarkable likeness. 1t was present
ede to him by deputation of his fell
low townsmen from Santa Margher-
ita, but it was several days after the
presentation was made that the real
history of the painter was discovered.
Crosse is now director of the Tur-
in Academy. In 1896 he exhibited at
Venice a painting called "The Last
Tryst," representing several nude
women making merry over the coffin
of a dead lover. The patriarch of
Venice brought the matter to the att
tention of Pope Leo XIII, who in
structed all Catholics to remain away
from the exhibition until the picture
was removed. Queen Margherita
saved the situation by inducing Gros-
50 to remove the Objectionable paint
ing.

SEEMS A LOT OF US
WERE OUT OF LUCK

Washington, Sept. If you did
MT get nine gallons of intoxicating
liquors last year, you were out of
luck. If, in that same period, you
failed to receive 800 cigarettes, rs ci-
gars and half pound of chewing to-
bacco or snuff, your luck stone must
have been off watch.
That is the conclusion of govern
ment statisticians who have figured
out that for every man, woman and
child in the United States last year
there was consumed GIT gallons of
liquor, and the above listed amounts
of cigarettes, cigars and tobaccos.
Thirty mine billion factory-made
cigarettes we're consumed in this
country of 100,000,000 persons. OF
800 per capita. Altogether, 55,000.-
600 cigarettes were made here, but
16 aae zee ,ee1 were exported.
The combined production of cigars
in American factories during the last
year was 1929, 900, 900. Chewing to-
bacco and snuff aggregated APT ,0O0,-
600 pounds.
Anti-liguor legislation has reduced
the per capita consumption of intox-
icating beverages from 22.79 gallons
in 1916 to 9.17 gallons last year. The
nations drink bill for the last three
years amounted to S1,57S, 100000 an
nually.

YARDMEN CREATE
REIGN OF TERROR
Trains and Engines Run Wild Nearly
Nightly-Threate To Tie Up
transportation by Violent
Methods.

Chicago, Sept. 4.-According to
railway executives, the turning loose
of freight train in the Chicago, Mil
waukee and St. Paul yards at Grand
and Chicago avenues Thursday night
was only an incident in the campaign
of sabotage which the outlaw Chicago
Yardmen's Association and the Uni
ted Engineers Association are direct
ing against the railroads
Here is a summary of the railroad
executives charges:
Engines are being turned loose al
most nightly; men who have taken
the places of the strikers are being
slugged; children of members of the
"outlaw" organization who have gone
back to work are being boycotted by
their schoolmates; wives of the men
who have taken strikers places are be-
ing torrorized; rooming house keep
ers in districts adjacent to the termin-
al have been warned that they must
not permit any "strikebreaker" to
room in their house under penalty Of
bombing. United States District At
torney Cline has been asked for help
under the Lever Act, but has given
none; the city authorities have been
asked for aid, but have given none.
The railroad executives cite the fol-
lowing instances in support of their
charges:
Hundreds of men have been way
layed and slugged

stopped it,

sure gave out.
Transportation Threatened.
The railroad executives tonight an
nounced in what amounted to a joint
statement, though individuals refused
use of their names, that the situation
threatens the transportation of fuel
and food, They added that unless
the meetings of the radical "out-
laws" were broken up, so many men
would be scared away from the rail-
switching district would be helpless
in handling the traffic.
| They declared that a municipal
court Judge had discharged an outlaw
striker who was positively identified
by w. D. Clark, a switch gang fore
man, as the man who sulgged him
and that this had discouraged the
swearing out of warrants
That the ssoutlaw" strikers intend
to wage a guerilla warfare against
the railroads was indicated by a can
vass Of the leaders of the radical ele-
ment.
Tom Clarey, William Seigel, Fred
G. Herle. William Raedy, William

that "the roads will be glad to take
