TATE SUGGESTS
 SUMMER COURT
Many Defendants In County Jail Awaiting Trial With
 Docket Crowded

In order that the congested dockets in the criminal division of the circuit court may be cleared and the crowded condition of the county jail relieved, it is probable that several extra weeks of court will be held in this division during July and August
 This statement was made yesterday by Solicitor Joseph R. Tate who stated that he would call the matter to the attention of Judge Dan A. Greene, presiding judge of the court. with a request that several weeks be devoted to the trial of cases in this division.
 Judge A. B. Foster of Troy has been assigned to the criminal division of the court for this month, and definite action will be deferred until the pres- ent term of court ends June 27.
 Unless there is marked improve ment in the condition of the docket when the term closes. then the mat ter will be presented to Judge Greene, according to MT. Tate. In the opinion of the solicitor, court could be held all during the summer without any lack of eases to be tried.
 At the present time the county jail is much crowded, he declared. even with an additional judge in this divi- sion assisting in the trial of cases and if the courts do not hold court this summer many of these defendants will be required to remain in jail through out the summer months.

HERCULES POWDER COMPANY CLOSES
 DEAL FOR AETNA
Consolidation Granted Month Ago In Delaware Now In Effect-LocaI Transpor-
 tation Is Cause

Recognizing the importance of Birmingham as point of distribu- ton for the southeastern states, the Hercules Powder company has final ly closed the deal for the purchase of the properties of the Aetna Ex- piosives company, incorporated, sit 'uated at CoaIburg, near Birming- ham. s
 Nothing remains but the formal transfer. Tho federal court of Del aware has allowed the consolidation by rendering a decree. May 4. in which 1t was declared that in sane tioning the purchase of the Aetna company by the Hercules company the court was convinced that actua. competition would be undiminished and even probably increased. Es- pecially as regards the Hercules companys strongest rival, the Du Pont company"
 The Eetna Explosives company was organized in 1915. It was a com
 
 company of Birmingham, the Key- stone company of Ohio, the Aetna Powder company of Chicago, and other plants.
 High Explosives
 The principal manufactures of the local mills. are dynamite and other high explosives and black powder. The Coalburg mills have a daily ca- pacity of 25,00o pounds of high ex- plosives and 400 to 500 kegs of black powder.
 J. J. Grimes, manager of the local properties, confirms the close of tho deal for taking over of the Aetna properties. He has no notice of any changes in the personnel of the force in Birmingham and none are known to be slated.
 The Aetna Powder company is among the first of the patrons If the Warrior river barge line. In the manufacture of explosives it uses a large amount of Chilean nitrates. Several months ago it had largo amount of these nitrates brought uo from New Orleans in barges and transferred in cars to the plant. M-. Grimes says the movement was sue cessful and economic and that the prospect is that movement of Chile-
 
 route will be large and regular ons.
 It's Territory
 The states especially served by the local mills are the two Carolinas, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Flor ida and Mississippi and portions of Tennessee and Kentucky. It IS conceded to be appreciation of Birmingham's strategic position with reference to this territory for dis tribution of product that led to the deal. For similar reason the Atlas company took over the Standard Portland Cement works at Leeds last year and the Lehigh Cement com pany has site of 250 acres at Tar rant City, where it is going to build . 1000, ,o00-barrel plant.
 With acquisition of the Aetna com pany the Hercules company now has plants in Alabama, Pennsylvania. Michigan, Illinois. New York, Ohio and Canada.
 Various rumors arising from time to time of a new plant on the War ricr river are no more confirmed now than heretofore.
