 Days to File Briefs
By FRED H. GORMLEY Montgomery Bureau The Age-Herald, 22I-2 First National Bank Building


 Montgomery, November 19.-(Special,)- Following the completion of the cross ex- animation of J. NJ. B. Hoxsey, vice pres ident of the Southern Bell Telephone company Friday. the cities protesting against the proposed increases in tele- phone rates were given 30 days in which to file documentary evidence in rebuttal of the testimony submitted by the com parry. Each side was given 30 days to prepare briefs in support of their con- tentions and the formal hearing of the telephone case was completed.
 No action will be taken by the public service commission until the evidence has been transcribed, the rebuttal evidence is submitted and briefs are received from the contending parties. It is improbable that a decision will be reached until about January l., though 1t will be rem dered before January 15r as sam r. Kennedy, president of the commission, will retire at that time in favor of his successor A. c. Patterson.
 MT. Hoxsey continued on the witness stand a greater part of Friday, ampli- flying his previous testimony about the condition of the company in answer to questions of Walter s. Brewer, special counsel for the cities opposing the pro posed advances. MT. HoXsey said the cost of construction work and operation of the company was now 65 per cent greater than the cost in July 1916, that during that time wages have increased no per cent and materials 1l.5 per cent. He said in reaching the figures regard ing materials an account was taken of the recent declines in the prices of some materials.
 Explaining further his statement on Thursday that the proposed yield of 6.2 per cent would pay investors eight per cent and allow one per cent for other purposes, Mir. Hoxsey said this could be done because of the favorable financ- ing of long term bonds before the price of money advanced so greatly during the

 Deposits showed a decrease of ii rar cent rom last report Of 1919, which was called for month later than this year Mir Montgomery said it was expected that the total deposits would be more than Il per cent less because of the amount invested in crops which had been returned to the banks when the last re- port was made in 1919.

 Montgomery, November 19.-(special.)- Alabama women were called upon to equip themselves for the duties and re- responsibilities of citizenship and members of the Alabama Federation of Women clubs were urged by the federation at the closing session Friday afternoon, to conduct pay-your-poll-tax campaign in all counties before February 1, in order that no women may deprive themselves of the use of the ballot by failing to qualify in the manner provided by Ala hama law.
 A resolution embracing these subjects was adopted during the closing hours of the meeting without dissenting vote. It may be some women were opposed to woman suffrage. but they were unan- imous in urging all to qualify for citizen ship and in calling upon the federation members to bring the importance of qualification to the attention of all women.
 The resolution follows:
 Tt is for the best interest Of the state that women shall exercise intelligently the voting privilege recently conferred upon them, therefore be it resolved that the club women of Alabama be urged by the state federation to study the prob- lems of government and to fit them selves to do their duty as citizens in the best. possible manner
 Be it further resolved that the clubs be urged to adopt a regular system of citizenship study such as may be found in the pamphlets on citizenship. issued by the executive department of the state university. And
 ''Be it further resolved that each club be urged to conduct a pay-your-poll-tax campaign in each locality among women between the ages of 21 and 45. to the end that such women shall not be disfran- chised by failing to pay their poll taxet before February 1. 1921"
 The following officers were reelected by ballot: Mrs. Joseph Brevard Jones,
