John Henley, succeeded in having the courthouse of the county moved from Elyton to the then new Br- minGham. The scene is laid in a cot ton field, and is the laugh producing episode of the pageant. with Percy Rosenberger as Ezekial, the dukes faithful negro, as one of the most prolific sources of merriment.
 The third episode presented the famous "calico ball." given in cele- bration of the sixty seventh birthday of Charles Linn. played by former Governor Emmet O'Neal. The dances of the time are given by the guesss of the occasion. The party is sud- denly broken up by a total eclipse of the moon,
 Judging from the applause of the audience last night, the fourth scene was the most impressive. As the cur tain goes up, an old fashioned blast furnace occupies the center of the stage, and in front are three mounds, white one representing limestone, black one coal, and a red one iron. Wayland Smith blacksmith, ap- pears and calls forth the spirits of the three minerals. Twenty children appear from each mound interpreting the elves of the substances, were dressed in white, black and red. They do a chorus of dances, and then each enters the large furnace. Vari- colored lights play on the furnace, and In a few moments chorus of dancers dressed in blue appear rep resenting steel and the fusion of the three products. The "Song of Steel' was sung as the lights faded
 Retnrn of Army
 The fifth episode of the pageant represented the triumphant return of the American army from the World war. and the sixth scene the amalga- nation of all the foreign born resi- dents of Birmingham into Americans
 Each scene is preceded by pro logue spoken by Donald Robertson, as an Indian chieftain. Robertson stood by the column ofn the left, as he gave the prophecies of the scenes. His rich voice carried wonderfully well as he spoke Rice's stirring verse.
 Music for the pageant was fur nish~d by a combined orchestra and band under the direction of o. Cor don Erickson. and by chorus of 1000 voices. The chorus was seated cn either side of the stage, and the band orchestra in the center in front of the stage.
 Beautiful scenic effects are used in presenting the pageant. and the lighting effects are especially well done.

JAPAN TO STAND
 FOR AN ADEQUATE
 DEFENSIVE NAVY
By Associated Press

Aboard steamship kssbima Mura, October 24.-tBy Radio to athe Associated Press.)--The bnsis of Jnpsn's programme at the Washington conference on the elimination of nrmaments and far eastern questions will he desire to maintain q defensive navy large enough to cope with any naval force that any other na- ton would be capable of sending into the far east, according to fn- formation aboard this ship, which is carrying the chiefs of the Jap- anese delegation to the United States.
 The impression is given that Japan will not propose the dis- mantiing of the American fortift- cations in the Pacific.
 Japan apparently does not be- lieve that America could dispatch her entire navy to the far east on account of the distance and the Inck of sufficiently large bases. But if American naval bases are enlarged md Great BritnIn's bases are expanded Japau's minimum, it Is iDtinated, must be arranged accordingly.

DAUGHERTY DECIDES PLAN OF ACTION IN
 CASE OF RAIL STRIKE
,oontinued From Page one.)

ably at no time would the merits en- ter into it's policy. "The departmen. probably would concede that. the men have the right to strike, that they even have the right to strike in groups. But it would not say they can strike in groups throughout the country without violating the con spiracy laws by antagonizing the government of the United States.
 Will Protect People
 The department would not con cede there would be no violations of the conspiracy statutes for great body of men all over the country to agree to paralyze its transportation facilities. The department would say they could strike peaceably, but when 1t comes to the governments interests and the interests of the public in these facilities the government has the power, right and duty to see that the owners of the railroads give the American people the service they are entitled to.
 More people are interested in the transportation facilities than they are in the controversy regardless of who is right or who Is wrong. This conference was for the purpose of ob- taining concerted action and harmony Of effort to the end that the railroads may give continued service without any interruption and In order that the public may be served.
 'Jt Is, the duty of the department to provide for the transportation for people who travel and the transpor- tation of food and fuel with winter coming on. The government has the power and ample authority. It will be prompt and as reasonable as 1t can, but these arteries of commerce must continue to serve the people. Property must be protected. life pre- served and order maintained, and the government is big enough to see that this Is accomplish ed.

It is gigantic. with it's cast Of nearly 2,oOo, but at the same time the episodes are unfolded with a splendid unity which keeps before the spectator during the entire even ing the great subject it is depicting, the development of wonderful in dustrial city.
 A more beautiful location for an outdoor spectacle of this kind could not have been selected than Avondale park. The mountain back Of the stage, forming a natural background, acted as a sounding board for the voices, On either side of the stage have been built tall white columns which serve to set the boundaries of the stage. Plenty of room is left for the spectators, more than 5000 per sons being present at the perform ance last night.
 ? The blank verse in which Wallace Reid. the author of the pageant, has woven the story of the development of the city is beautiful and stirring In the working out of the episodes he has developed many beautiful poetic fantasies.
 Group of Figures
 The pageant is preceded by prelude in which allegorical figures are summoned, the Spirits of the Mountain, Valley and River. As each group of figures appears on the stage they interpret their part by a beauti- full dance.
 The first scene of the pageant de- picts the dawning of day in the Ten nessee valley, and shows the meeting of the Indian chieftain, Tuscaloosa, and the Spaniard, DeSoto. In this is laid the keynote upon which the pageant is built. DeSoto, in his pow WOW" with the Indian. shows him his sword of steel, saying; Iris steel, of every metal fin the, world most serviceable as the wand of power" Asked by the Indian what he seeks, he replies: Gold. silver and diamonds, and metals precious" Thus the first white man in the valley passed the coal and iron mines hidden in the mountains which were plenty ito satisfy the greed of averice." The Indians realize that the bringipE of steel to their native home means the end of their race. and retire singing a weird and doleful song. George Bailes, playing the role of Tusca- loosa, and McK- Wright the role of the Spaniard, rendered their inter- pretations with credit.
 Famous Election
 The second episode of the pageant depicts the famous election. at which the Duke of Birmingham, played by
