EX-GOB FORMALLY ACCEPTS POST OF
 NAVY SECRETARY

1 (Continued from Page One)
 us at the highest peak of power, ready 1 for battle at any notice.'
 ] PRAISES DANIELS RULING ( 1 In response to questions about the na- wal policies of the present adminstra- l tion, the secretary-to-be only smiled and shook his head. He did take occasion however, to declare his unqualified ap- proval of the anti-wine ruling of .Secre- l tary Daniels, adding that he believed most of the officers of the navy now | recognized the wisdom of the famous order. | For MT. Daniels personally he ex- pressed highest regards, and one of his | first acts as secretary-designate was to send a telegram to the present navy de- partment head thanking him for past courtesies. Declining an invitation to dictate the message to one of the steno-
 graphers at MT. Harding's headquarters,
 he went to a telegraph stand in the hotel lobby below and scribbled out the following in lead pencil:
 Have read with great pleasure your kind references to me in the press.
 Please. accept my cordial thanks. I shall see you in Washington within day or two. I hope"
 The meeting will not be the first be- tween the retiring secretary and his sue cessor. During the World war, when MT. Denby was serving at the age of 48 as a marine sergeant, he broke a strict reg ulation and went direct to Mir Daniels in an effort to smooth out some of the troubles of the men serving with him. "The secretary might have court ma r. tialed me- said Mir. Denby after relar- ing the story today, "but he didn't do it."
 WAS UNDER FIRE Most of the prospective secretary s service with the marines was in the mo- rale department, though he was sent abroad for brief period as observer and was under fire on the American front in France. Before the war was over he had risen from private to sec ond lieutenant, serving with the latter rank as morale officer at the Paris Is- land training stationA
 MT. Denby comes of fighting stock, an uncle and grandfather having served as officers in the American navy. His father, a democrat until he refused to support William Jennings Bryan in 1SS6, was American minister to China under Cleveland Young Denby accompanied Ihim and in all spent nine years in the far east, most of the time being em- ployed in the Chinese maritime customs service. He was in the navy through the Spanish-American war, and as a gunners mate, he participated in the blockade of Havana.
 MT. Roosevelt's appointment as assis- tant secretary, also falls in with family
 tradition. his father having first come
 to national fame while occupying that
 post and his cousin, Franklin D. Roose- velt having filled it until he resigned
 last summer to accept the democratic
 nomination for the Vice Presidency. Like his prospective chief MT. Roosevelt is a veteran of the World war, having served as a lieutenant colonel of infan-
 try in France. He is B years old and
 member of the New York assembly
 During the preconvention campaign last year he was connected with the move-
 msnt for the nomination of Gen. Leonard
 Wood.

AWNINGS BURN ON
 OFFICE BUILDING

Late shoppers and the crowds of people rushing for the street cars after the closing Of the stores were suddenly startled about 10 o'clock las, night to see several awnings on the north side of the Brown Marx build- ing burst into flames.
 The awnings on the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth floors were burning when the firemen arrived. Crowds collected around the base of the building. many thinking that se- rious fire was raging in the skyscrapes.
 Oae of the unusual features of tn. fire was that the sparks, instead of falling towards the ground were blown upttne side of the building and caught the awnings on the floors above The flames were extinguishets in less than 10 minutes after the fire men arrived after approximately IS awnings had been destroyed
 The alarm last night was the second one to be turned in to the central station from the Brown Marx build ing yesterday. The first one was turned in about o'clock when five awnings Were destroyed on the ninth and tenth floors. The origin of tho fires is unknown, though it is be- lieved by the firemen that a burning cigarette was the cause

-----------s.---- LOCAL L LUMBERMEN
 CITED TO APPEAR

Several Birmingham lumber manu- facturers and dealers have been cited to appear in St. Louis on March 15 to to show cause why the temporary in Junction sought by the United States of America against several hundred lumber concerns all over the United States should not be made perma- nent. Notice to this effect was re- ceived by H. A. Skeggs, United States marshal, yesterday. While no details of the petition for an injunction were received here it is believed that this is another one coming under the anti trust bill. The petition was filed Feb ruary 23 and it will be heard before Judge Charles B. Farris of the United States court in St. Louis.
 It is stated that the government is seeking to restrain the lumber deal | CTS all over the country from the ai- legged practice of keeping up the price of yellow pine and the alleged monopoly of the lumber market.
 The Birmingham firms and men who have been cited to appear are as fol- lows: Kaul Lumber company and John L. Kaul: Lathrop Lumber coa,- pany and F. H. Lathrop; J. E. Eddy. E. P. Mallam and the late H. H. Shell.

 ing and after the fact. There isn't any
 way to have them put in jail, either. If there was, and l knew about it.
 that's where lot of them would be. The bandits l have mentioned have been pretty busy lately around our su burbs. and what with the holdups they actually committed and what with the holdups that melodramatic chaf- feurs said they committeed the public, as the editorial writers say, has been thoroughly aroused. It has been par ticularly annoying to have bandit boom just at this time. because al most every evening folks are bring ing out from the city valuabres that they don't want to fall into any bandits hands, such as sarasparilla and ginger ale and other things in bottles. However. the bandits have been busy just the same, and while l never saw any of them. I was one of the heaviest bandit sufferers of the Will lage, as you will see presently. Night before last l started to drive over to see man who lives in another suburb, six miles away, who was going to have party and had invited me to it.
 l supposed there was plenty of gas in the car when l left home, but one
 of the neighbors had needed some dur ing the afternoon and had come over with a siphoL to borrow mine. He
 meant to tell me about it in time for me to get more if I needed it. Also
 he didn't mean to take quite so much out of the tank. This he explained to
 me afterward. when it was too late to do me any good.
 EVERYTHINGS-EOING DRY When l got to a cross roads about three miles out and in the middle of a wood, the carburetor gave three long

 was right. The tank was dry. It was at least two miles to the i nearest garage, and I was already lat. for the party. The only thing to do was to stop some friendly passer by, and either borrow little gas or ask
 for ride to some place where could get it.
 That looked easy enough, but had forgotten about the bandits.
 Cars had been passing right alorg so went out into the street to flag the first one that passed.

HOW PRESIDENT | IS MAUGURATED M OTHER LANDS
By Associated Press

Washington, February 26.-If Presi- dent elect Harding was preparing to
 be inaugurated March in the littlest instead of the biggest republic. there would be no talk of simple ceremonies That's not the way they do it in San
 Marine, according to a review of in- augural customs made public today by the National Geographical society. An incoming official in San Marine dcns medieval garments and marches through the streets preceded by heralds and gorgeously uniformed escorts to attend preliminary church service. His predecessor occupies a canopied throne at the church until the final moment when the new official i is installed. when he takes the throne seat and dons headdress indicative of his office.
 If it were in France MT. Harding
 would take his oath at what core spends to the White House, and the ceremony would conclude when his predecessor kissed him upon both checks.
 In Mexico he would be sworn in at midnight in the house of represent atives and the outgoing president would embrace him.
 In BrazH he would De enclrcleu win a broad. colored band, supporting a medal as the insignia of the presi- dency.
 In Chile he would take oath before . joint session of congress and go first to special te deum service there to visit the retiring president. In Poland he would walk to his Of ficial residence preceded by a herald crying "Uncovet before the most noble president"
 In the United States alone. weather permitting does the incoming chief executive take his oath in the open air. That custom arose because of dispute between Senate and House when Mon roe was inaugurated as to which should have the honor, 1apsed when Jackson took the oath indoors and has been the invariable rule lever since. except when blizzard drove President Taft to shelter.

TWO ARE KILLED
 IN PLANE CRASH
Encounter Air Pocket 800 Feet Up and Machine PIungeS
 to the Ground
By Associated Press

Rockaway,/N. Y, February 2b-An ar pocket encountered at an altitude of S0e feet, which threw their seaplane into tail spin and sent it crashing to the ground before it could be brought under control again is believed to have been responsible for the death of Lieut.. Harold T. Stevens, II. $. N, and Chief Machin- ist's Mate Eugene Lindsay, while max ing a routine flight over the naval air station here this afternoon. Lindsay home Is in San Francisco. Lieutenant Stevens and his wife lived at the air sta tion. His parents home is in Mount Yer non. N Y.
 While making what onlookers described a simple turn directly over a hangar near the shore, the machine suddenly went into a tanl spin. Lieutenant Stev- ems apparently was unable to straighten out the seaplane owing ito the short eie- vation, and it plunged to earth, barely missing it's hangar.
 Lieutenant Stevens had been attached to the station since the spring of lSls He was 26 years old. He entered the service as a reserve officer in 1917 grad uatng from the aviation school at Massa- chusetts Institute of Technology.

SHIPPERS STAND
 CHANCE ID LOSE
 MANY THOUSANDS
Claims Against Railroads While Under Federal Control Must Be Filed By Next Mon-
 day Night
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau The Age Herald
 300 Davidson BuiIding

Washington, February 26.-[Special) )- Thousands of dollars in claims represent ing interests in every part of the United States may be lost because of ignorance on the part of shippers that unless they file these claims by midnight Monday, February 2S, under the law terminating federal control of railroads, they will, under the act, passed just year ago. have no relief.
 Today Senator Fletcher of Florida who is thoroughly familiar with the law and what may result if these claims are not filed in time, cited the act Of February 2s. 1920. and the provision in question as follows:
 WHAT IT SAYS
 "Complants praying for reparation on account of damage claimed to have been caused by reason of the collection or en- forcement by or through the President during the period of federal control of rates, fares, charges, classifications, reg ulatons or practives (including those ap- plicable to interstate, foreign or intra- state traffic., which were unjust, unrea- sonable, unpustly discriminatory or un- duly or unreasonably prejudicial or other wise in violation of the interstate com merce act. may be filed with the commits sion within one year after thes termina- tion of federal control against the agent designated by the President, naming in the petition the railroad or system of transportation against which such com paint would have been brought if such railroad or system had not been under federal control at the time the matter complained of took place. The commis- sion is hereby given Jurisdiction to hear and decide such complaints in the manner provided in the interstate commerce act, and all notices and orders in such pro- ceedings shall be served upon the agent designated by the President"
 LONG WAIT LOOMS
 As seen by Senator Fletcher today. the only way that claimants may get relief unless they file their claims before mid night Monday is by act of Congress. and the present session will end March 4 It is scarcely possible that legislation could be enacted, in the event that the govern ment authorities decide definitely Tuesday that all claims not then filed are barred, until the special session of Congress this summer.
 The outlook now is that such decision will be announced immediately and that claimants who have not filed their claims may have to wait a long time before get ting their money. It is noted that the words may file' with the interstate commerce commission are used, and that the time limit is one year after the pass age of the act in question.
