175,000 tons of coal was handled In
Pensacola by the G. It. A.. and an equa,
or perhaps great amount by the Louis
vile and Nashville.
Pensacola is the logical coanng port
Of the south, as it is about one hun
bred miles closer to Birmingham than
New Orleans; the G. F. A. terminals
are the best south of Newport News
and those Of the Louisville and Nash
vile are also among the best in the
south.
The freight rates to Pensacola from
Alabama mines over the @. F. and A.
is fifty cents a ton less than to New

These figures, compiled by the Ma

as by the national government. The 10
leading cities are spending at a rate
per resident about half as much as the
national government, though they have
no war debt to carry.

Late w, B. S. Trimble Leaves Large
 Sums for the Needy

Friends of the family in Birmingham will be interested in the following tribute to the late W. B. s. Trimble, which ap- peared in his home paper:
 ssWhen the soul of w. B. s. Trimble of Pasadena. Cal, passed recently to the great unfathomed beyond the gates of heaven must have swung little wider and the angels of mercy sung little more sweetly than was their wont. For MT. Trirnble loved little children.
 After accommodating his millions up in North Dakota, he went to the land of sunshine and flowers to pass his remain ing days. There he fell fatally i'll, but before he did so he laid his plans for the disposal of his vast wealth, be- oLeathing such sums to friends and rel atives as he wished, leaving the remain der. and larger part of his fortune in trust to needy children of Jamestown, N. D., Pasadena, Cal, and Grompton Ont.
 s-rhe courts of North Dakota. where MT. Trimble's will was offered for pro- bate, will see that his wishes are carried out
 .sro the memory of such man suit able monument should be erected some place, for all too rare are acts Of this character. An individual who will re- member needy little ones as MT. Trimble did. should never be forgotten

 Misuse of the Mails

W. E. Smith was arrested yesterday at Livingston by w. E. Garner, deputy United States marshal, on charge of using the mails to defraud. Warrant for the arrest of the man was sworn out by W. c. Watson, post office in spector, and it was alleged that he claimed the market of the United States was manipulated, and he was on the inside" and could secure 40 per cent net returns on all money en- trusted to him for investment Unde, this plan, he is alleged to have in- veigled several Livingston citizens to comply with his scheme. The man is a carpenter, and lives near Livingston and, in the opinion of federal authori- ties, is only an agent for a party of shrewder individuals who have organ ized to use the mails for fraudulent investment schemes.
 It is stated in the warrants that Smith claimed to be financial expert, that. the stock market of the United States was manipulated, and that he lSrew how it was going and as re- suit of this knowledge, could make big profits, not less than 40 per cent per year on money solicited from R.

MORE POWER FOR
 CENSOR 0F MOVIES
Ordinance Requires Managers of Theatres to File List of
 Pictures With Censor

More effective means of handling movie censorship work will be created under the terms of asl ordinance plan ned by Mrs. J. Fl. Wallace, theatre in spector, and which will be considered by the city commission at it's meet ing one week from Tuesday. It had been hoped to have the ordinance ready by Tuesday, but Mrs. Wallace stated last night this would hardly be possible.
 The ordinance will require each mo- tion picture theatre in Birmingham to file a complete list of pictures to be shown with the theatre inspector at the city hall Thursday of the week before the picture is to be shown. Un- der the ordinance, the inspector would have power to issue instructions as to what portions of each picture shall be cut out and will provide that the DOT tions of films cut out be filed in the office of the theatre inspector before the showing of the picture starts.
 Vaudeville performances. will be viewed by the inspector, though lists cut out will be mailed from New York it was stated.
 Theatre managers of Birmingham, with one exception, have been very glad to cooperate with me in my work said Mrs. Wallace. '.Whenever I have suggested cutting of scenes in pictures, the managers have been only too ready to comply. They have ex- pressed their willingness to have such a law as proposed. All agree that the present scheme Is not effective"

FIRE INSURANCE O..
 UNDER INDICTMENT
 TO MAKE TEST CASE

Demurrers in the case of the Girard Fire and Marine company of Phila- delphia which were filed by attorneys for the company to indictments re- gently returned by the Jefferson coun- ty grand jury were taken under ad- visement yesterday by Judge William E. Fort in the criminal division of the circuit court. The indictments charge the company with conspiracy to create a monopoly in the fire insurance rates in Alabama.
 In filing the demurrers, the com pany attacks the constitutionality of the Alabama statutes prohibiting com binations in restraint of trade and for control of prices on commodities and necessities.
 /, The Girard Fire and Marine com pany was one of II big insurance com ranies against which indictments were returned and this case will test the constitutionality of the Alabama statutes in so far as it relates to com binations in restraint of trade and for control of prices. Judge Fort will probably render an opinion next week.
