COMPANY SHOWS PROFIT

L. R. Lemoine. president of the United States Cast Iron Pipe com pany, predicts fairly satisfactory year."
 The annual report for 1920 shows surplus after charges expenses and taxes of ss51,5s5, equivalent after al- lowing per cent on the $12,ooo.o00 of outstanding preferred stock, to 9 cents a share on the s12.oo0,o00 of out standing common stock. This com pares with loss of s5O3,703 in 1919. In his report to the stockholders. Mir. aLemoine says:
 "S.lose of the year finds the com pany in excellent condition. Accumu- lation of unsold stock on high levels was avoided. In fact earnings partly accrued through sales from the con seryatively valued inventory.
 "Tn the early fall thes tapering off of business made possible shipments ir Suffffient volume to clear the yards; and then came the rapid curtailment of November and December. with can cellations and adjustments Bookings } lfors December were the lowest of rec ord.
 speaking of the future. President Lemoine concludes: Tn some direc- tions the outlook is already brighter Inquiries are evidencing renewed ac- tlvity. In so far as a forecast may now properly be ventured it would seem probable that the business in 1921 will prove fairly satisfactory"

The majority resolution can mean nothing else than national boards of adjustment, and nothing else will be acceptable to labor leaders This re, port. therefore, resolves to avoid any interruption of the transportation act by urging that the carriers and em- ployers adopt means of settling their disputes through local boards"
 Trree members of the executive la Dor committee, including Mir Alter bury voted for this report and six were against it. It was defeated June 80. 1920.
 In the final report. which was &C., cepted by the individual roads by a 60-40 vote, MT. Atterbury said the roads were making their last stand fo, private ownership, and that if it failed now. it failed completely.
 T. Dewitt Cuyler then was called to the stand. He said Mir Grey informed him that he resigned as chairman of the, committee, because when MT Al. terbury's third report was adopted bN the roads, it became the majority re- port, and he thought it best to have a majority member as chairman. MT. Cuyler then appointed Atterbury chairman, he said

AUTOMOBILE CLUB
 APPROVES LICENSE.
Charles Davis, Speaking for 2,000 Members, Asks for
 Cooperation

The Birmingham Automobile club, with membership of 1000. stands solidly behind the registration regu- lation which provides for all drivers of motor vehicles to obtain a permit to drive. showing they have passed the qualification test prescribed by ths police department. Charles G. Davis, president of the club, goes on record to this effect.
 In a letter to Fred G. Moore, city attorney. MT Davis declares citizens seem to fail to realize the fact that the police department is perfectins this registration with 3 view of bet tering traffic conditions in Birming ham,
 His letter to Mir. Moore is as fol- lows:
 MT. Fred c. Moore,
 City Attorney.
 Noticing in Thursday mornings Age Herald letter from the state tax commissioner upon the subject of the s1 registration fee being charged by the city for registration of motor ve- hicle drivers, wish to say that by MT. Evans letter it appears quite evident that the present state tax is strictly upon motor vehicles, whereas the reg . istratien fee the city is now imposing for operators registration is on driv- CTS only and not on the vehicle; in other words. one is the exercise of a taxing power and the other is the ex- ercise of the police power in the pro motion of publ3, safety.
 MT. Evans statement of the law on the subject seems to be very plain that the city is not infringing in any shape, manner or form upon same.
 Very few people seem to appreciate Q the fact that the police department ; perfecting this registration with a view of bettering the motorists conditions in the city, and is giving the recorder. Judge Henry Martin, card index list of all drivers, which is done largely whereby he can put into force a method to leminate the reckless driver and constant violator of the traffic ordinances.
 T feel that all fair-minded citizens who are interested in the betterment Of conditions heartily approve of this registration, and l sincerely trust that there will be no further agitation against it. CHARLES c. DAVIS

 DROP KETCH MATTER
 It also was said at the county attor- ney's office that information against Frank Ketch formerly Hamon's busi- ness manager, now administrator of his estate. and charging him with being an accessory after the fact of Hamons murder, would probably remain in the pigeon hole, never to be served. Ketch testified that he gave Clara Hamon s 900 and told her to leave Ardmore and remain away on the day she left.
 At the county building today the dis trict court clerk was busy paying the expenses of the Hamon trial He said the cost would probably run between sS,- 40 and $500.
 Jurors who rendered the verdict for acquittal yesterday, today reiterated that only one ballot was taken and that it was confirmed by the rising vote w. A. Jolly of Ardmore, reported by some ds having cast vote for first degree murder on the first ballot today said that only one vote had been taken ant that it was confirmed by standing.
 NEVER ANY DOUBT Mir Jolly said that when jurors got 70 the jury room, he said to those around him, by way of feeling out sentiment. Well, men l favor first degree muc- der verdict
 Then" he continued "One of the | others replied, I favor letting her go and doing it quickly, and I added, so do l.
 We then sat around and smoked a little and then voted the one time." MT. Jolly said.
 B. F. C. Loughridge. 7S years of age. foreman of the jury, said There never vas any question about acquitting her from the start. We never talked about it in the jury room, until we got the case officially but there was that look in the eyes of each man that told what he had in his mind The arguments merely took up our time, as we did not consider them at all We already had our minds fully made up.

THOMAS MEIGHAN IN
 THE EASY ROAD.8 AIT STRAND

Thomas Meighan is remarkably well cast in ''The Easy Road" at the Strand. as the sailor-novelist, who marries rich woman and finds himself suddenly on an easy road with his talents fast dwindling from over-luxury. The sud- denly rich young novelist finds the temp tation to neglect his work and become a drone of the pleasure-loving type r- resistible. Mir eMighan in this new stellar role does some of the best work that he has done for many picturSs past. His portrayal of the sailor-novelis, is very strongly enacted and wins the entire sympathy of the spectators from the first flash of the production to tho final scene
