THE MINSTREL REVUE

The Minstrel Revue put on by the
Baker Production Company at the
High School last evening was
very creditable and pleasing perform
ance. The auditorium was packe
and the hearty applause and the
numerous encores demonstrated the
fact that the show was a success Al
good sum was realized which went
to the athletic fund.
Mr.. Albert Oettinger was interloc-
utOr and as usual acquitted himself
with honOrs. There were 81 people
in the caste, and therefore it will be
impossible ato call attention to every
one participating, though every
member deserves especial mention.
The songs and dancing were es-
pecially good. and the jokes by the
end men quite fetching, as well as
new. A number of clever references
were made to local people. which af-
forded much amusement to the audi
ence. The program will disclose
size of the caste and the stupendous
amount Of work necessary to put it
on. The play will be repeated to-
night, and if you miss it. it is your
misfortune.

REFUND|NG BILL
 HOTLY ATTACKED
Senators Think Administra- ton Plan Would Give Mel
 Ion Too Much Power
By Associated Press

Washington, June 24-Criticism oi the administration bill for refunding the S1o,OoO, 100000 allied debt was voiced today in the Senate.
 Senator Ashurst, democrat, Arizona, protested giving the Secretary of the Treasury authority to extend pay ments of interest. Senator Mcclellan democrat, Tennessee, assailed provi- sions which he said would permit l the secretary Ito swap" Americas good credits for worthless Austrian or Turkish reparation bonds" ana Senator Shoot, republican, Utah, said frankly that the bill would confer too much power" on Secretary Mel- ! lon.
 | The principal attack was made by Senator McKellar, who said the pro vision authorizing the acceptance from debtor nations of their bonds or those of any nation in the refund ing process, should be striken from the bill.
 In reply Senator Shoot said that nobody but an insane man, would trade Americas credits for repara- tions bonds of Germany and her aI- lies. If such an attempt were made, 1 he added, Congress would stop 1t. The bill, generally, he asserted, was necessary to give the admi nj strati on sufficient power "to clean up tnls situation"
 1 Introduction of the bill as drafted | by the treasury does not mean that lit will be reported unchanged to the Senate, Senator Shoot, who i s a mem Der of the finance committee con tinued. The committee, he added, will | in quiry.
 Interest payments, Senator Ashurst declared. should not be deferred. "lt is time to let Europe know" he added. that she must pay the interests she owes. And then proceed to liquidate her obligations"
 Senator Heflin, democrat, Alabama, also protested against deferring in | terest payments. The interest charged, he contended was far be- low that the American people now have to pay"

 Arnstein and Cohn also were fined s10.000 each. and Bowles was fined s5,000.
 Counsel for the men noted an ap- peal and the defendants were al- lowed to continue at liberty under bonds of $10,000 each. pending final decision. The sentence and fines inn posed on Arnstein and Cohn are the maximum under the law.
 The cases grew out of alleged wholesale thefts of securities from brokers in New York. Arnstein was arrested there after a nation wide search and was brought here for trial with the Washington brokers after a grand jury had returned indictments against the four men. Cohn was ar rested after the first trial of Arn- stein and the three others which re- suited in a hung jury.

EVIDENCE IS EVIDENCE AND MAY BE
 USED IN CRIMINAL CASE REGARDLESS HOW SECURED, SAY s SUPREME COURT

This has been especially true in cases charging violations of the prohibition laws. The court of appeals did not reach an agreement and under the law the members certified the issue to the supreme court knowing that the point later must be reviewed by the supreme court anyway The supreme court prepared a memoran- dun opinion for the court of appeals, in which it said it had always he q that evidence was evidence however obtained, and that it's decision would not be changed now.
 The issue was certified to the su- preme court by the court of appeals as result of the ruling of the United States supreme court that evidence obtained without authority of law could not be used against a defendant.

T. DeBardeleben, in charge of the Warrior river division, regarding rates and service between Mobile and many points in Alabama and between this city and Missis- sippi river towns.
 ference will depend whether local shippers will take their case before the interstate commerce commission requesting that steps be taken at oEce to remove the alleged discrimi- nation against Mobile by the barge line. Among the complaints made by Mobile business men is one for the failure of the bare line manage ment to give rates from points on the Mississippi river and adjacent territory to Mobile, as New Orleans has to points on and near the War rior in Alabama. This has been a subject of complaint since the inland water service was inaugurated, and several committees have been named from time to time tof see if this Mississippi-Mobile service could not be secured. R. c. Cobb. traffic man. ager of the Mobile Chamber of Com. merce, who has been especially ac- tive in this matter. has prepared a table showing that while New Or leans has rates to Atlanta, Chatta- nooga and scores of towns within the differential territory near the Warrior, that Mobile has no pub lished rate at all to many of these places Thus it is pointed out this city is being discriminated against

IF CITY WINS, THEN PUBLIC LOSES, SAYS
 RECEIVER BRADLEY
tContinued from Page Five)

tCOntlnue0 rom rage F1ve) hausted every means in my power to keep the property and the service at least where it is.
 And what is the city fighting after all? Is it fighting the physical plant to break it down? Or is it fighting the service to break 1t down? Or is it fighting the court in the discharge of it's duty to admin. ister the estate according to the laws of the land? The fight is cer- tainly no longer against the corpor@ ation, because it is out of possession and out of control.
 Just remember this. In all of it's rate fighting it has never questioned statement of fact nor made con- structive suggestion. It has merely bewailed condition which resulted from the city's own conduct in large part. If the city admins stration had conducted the affairs of the city according to the methods it has em- ployed in it's efforts to regulate the utility-what would be the condition of its fire department, and of the schools, and of the sanitary depart ment? All of them would have gone to the vows, the city would be in receivership, and the administra- ton would still be fighting to main tain that condition.
 But to the contrary, city taxes have been advanced 95 per cent The receiver seeks an increase of only 25 per cent. Just wait and see whether utility rates or city taxes go down first.
 This is splendid property. cap able of serving economically a popu- lation many times greater than that which now exists. Reasonable oper-- ation, reasonable understanding, reA- sonable treatment will enable it, and indeed enable the public to compel it if need be, to render good service and to expand and grow to meet the demands of the community at rates which are altogether reasonable. Substitute reason for passion. facts for prejudice, business for politics and the problem will be solved"

Building is the highest form of en- deavor, because building is provision for the future. Building is as much economy as the storing of grain during fat years for the lean ones that Joseph knew were to come. Building cares for what is to come the same as putting by money.
 Our iron industry is no more stagnant than that of other sections, but our steel town, Chicago and Pittsburg. The Ten ingot basis. The average in the country is 25 to 30 per cent.
 We continue to make steel here, be- cause we are close to the gulf with rail rate for export of $2.75 and a river rate to the gulf 20 per cent under that rate It costs Pittsburg steel between $6 and $7 to reach tidewater.
 Mobile and the Pacific coast a veri- table empire in itself, are shaking hands across the canal with four steamship lines plying between. The cargoes to the Pacific coast are met with cargoes for the return trip.
 Our railroads fare better than those of other sections. Earnings in the southern district in April represented return of 3.41 per cent compared with per cent in the eastern district and POI per cent in the western
 Tn big 'Ellen NJ melon of $53, 10000 for stockholders came out of the south. It has done we'll by the south and the south has repaid it for it's part in development of Dixie.
 Port of New Orleans has earned $1,- 000,000 in eight months of the fiscal year compared with $166, 900 in the entire pre- ceding year. The greater earnings follow the greater terminals built by state aid. That proves that building is economy, is progress, is assurance of the future.
 The Isthmian Steamship company, auxiliary of the Steel Corporation, has four sailings out of Mobile and New Or leans booked to one out of New York. Why? Because Alabama mills are more advantageously situated for the export business
