he expressed the hope that there
never would be. He said, I'VE are
all pals together, loyal to one nag
and one motto, and united we
stand, divided. We fall" in speaking
Of the great amaigamation Of ma
tons here which makes all . great
American fraternity.
His talk was very cleverly given.
Touching on all the questions be-
fore the world today, he not only
spoke of the things the United
States has to be proud Of, but Of
things which need remedying. His
appeal for patriotism was splendid
He said that sincere patriotism
was all right, but he also spoke OF
ut as the last refuge of Tammany
hall, and said that he would trust
Tammany hall as far as he could
throw Boss Murphy. He warned
| against this kind Of f1ag-happins
patriotism.
He spoke on the Irish question
and referred to the Mexican situa-
ton and ridiculed interference in
the first matter. His last point
bringing out the great spirit which
seems to be everywhere in this
country of making everyone fee
right in the great brotherhood, was
unusually we'll illustrated by an
illustration of an Englishman al
an American world series game
showed how quickly outsiders fall

TONNAGE TAX CASE
 WILL BE APPEALED
Attorneys for Mine Owners Will Go to the Supreme
 Court

"Yes, we shall take an appeal from States supreme court" says Augustus Benners, of Percy, Benners & Burr. wlo. with Bradley Tillman, are at- torneys for the complainant, the Re-
 T was much disappointed in the de- cision of the state supreme court. We felt that our position was sound and indisputable.
 'We believed we had made it clear that we thought the tonnage tax was illegal and unconstitutional because it was a property tax and discriminatory as one levied only on special interests
 Under just what plea the appeal will be presented to the federal courts has not been stated.
 The contention that the tonnage tax was one on roperty was set forth by the complainants in this paragraph of their brief to the state supreme court:
 Until they are mined coal and iron are property only in a theoretical sense, being incapable of use until they are mined, whether they be mined now or in thousand years. The tax, being not only measured by, but predicated on the act of converting minerals as they lay in the ground into usable prop erty, is inevitably on property. The ! tax is on nothing but the act of con version, making personality of realty"
 Pending the hearing in the United States court the tonnage taxes amount ing to $500,00 per annum will be col lected and expended by the state ad- mlnistration.

WARRIOR $4OO,0OO IS READY FOR USE
DeBardeleben Is Planning for Greater River Fleet
 In Near Future

The Mobile export coal terminals are safe. They are to be built.
 H. T. DeBardeleben, manager of the Warrior transportation system, has re- ceived advices from Washington that no slip up" has occurred in the mat ter, and that $4O0O0O is now available for building the Mobile terminals.
 General Hines director of inland water transportation, has advised MT DeBardeleben not only that the money is available, but that the work is to be pushed to completion.
 This information was especially gratifying because it had been feared tfat in the hurry of congressional ad- journment and the failure of a lot of otner things to go through. some slip might occur with regard to the War rior. But the Warrior appropriation went through, and the money is availa- ble
 The hundred steel containers are also safe. The Ingalls, Iron Works is now making them.
 The Mobile terminals will be a joint rail and water affair. They will be sit u&ted at the waters edge on a site do- hated by the city of Mobile and the coal operators. By an endless belt system coal will be loaded direct from river barge or railroad car into vessel warped to the side of the terminal or into the terminal bins. From the bins vessels may be loaded at the rate of 500 tons per hour. Coal from barges and cars may be unloaded into bins al the rate of 250 tons an hour.
 The coal capacity of the terminals will be 50.O00 tons, and it's ore capacity, 10000 tons. The latter will be ample to care for the amount of ore that will be brought from Brazil, Cuba and other rojnts for upstream movement to the steel works of the T. c. I. in Birming- ham.
 Theodore Brent of New Orleans, gem eral manager of the Mississippi- Warrior system, who succeeded M. J. Sanders in that capacity, will arrive in Birming- hs Saturday and with MT DeBardel- eben will make trip of inspection of the entire river from Cordova to the gulf.
 While on the trip MT. DeBardeleben n will present to MT. Brent and the two will consult regarding plans which MT. DeBardeleben has for additional craft which he is going to ask to have placed on the river.
