 Poor Mary Drew! The net was tight ening around her.
 IT think I'd better resign my sec- retaryship. I can't stay on upon these terms" Tears were in her voice again She felt unutterably miserable.
 The cruel little smile came once more to the lips of Darlington Bellairs

 It was then that Mary knew-ia- tuitively-that Carlton Benairs was quite satisfied as to her innocence in | the affair. He was simply using the episode as a means to further his own ends. Why. it was even possible that l he'd found her brooch and handkerchief out in the hall and had actually pre- tended to have picked them up inside | Lis safe.
 But, after all she was a woman,-- and women don't always get the fairest deals. He had the upper hand-there was no use in arguing out the matter. If he chose to make scandal, he could do it.
 Diplomacy must be employed. Mary must temporize.
 Please give me time to think things over" she said slowly, her pretty face quite pale, but apparently composed. And Darlington Bellairs smiled his slow, cool little smile, well pleased.

LONGWORTH WOULD SET A NEW PRECEDENT

Washington May 26.-Representattve Nicholas Longworth of Ohio. republican. has introduced bill providing that the hates and schedules of tho permanent tariff measure be effective on tho date that measure is introduced.
 Nothing of . similar character has ever before been introduced in Con- gross. It is taken to mean that Mir. Longworth and tho variety of protec- tionists for which he speaks arc dis satisfied with the emergency tariff bill. which was passed to serve until the permanent measure could be prepared. or else Is anxious that the prohibitive rates which the permanent measure will contain, be immediately effective for the protection of tho manufacturers of tho country.
 MT. Longworth in fact, asks that the permanent bill be effective and opera tive before it is enacted.
 Bearing on this subject. Senator Rob- inson. of Arkansas, speaking in the Senate today, said: "Nothing constitut- ing such a departure in legislative af- fairs has ever before been attempted. There are specific provisions by means of which laws are enacted and made operative. It is provided that bill shall be passed by the two houses of Congress and approved by the Presi- dent.
 done away with by the gentleman from Ohio. member of the ways and means committee. and one of the leading re- publicans of this Congress. He would make bill effective as soon az 1t Is introduced. He would not wait until 1t had met the approval of Congress. even until it is amended and perfected in accordance with the Ideas of Con- gress."
 MT. Longworth wants protection at once. He favored the emergency bill ito serve until the date of the introduc- ton of the permanent Dill. On that date. he would make effective the rates carried in the permanentA hilI fo cou :
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-05-27

tinue effective until the permanent bill is enacted and approved.
 Because he so desires he would do away with all rules and regulations. and all customs in the fabrication of laws. He gives an example, in the opinion of conservative members of Congress, of a man run Wild with ideas of the power of a majority and the rights of protectionists when supported by majority.
 The Longworth proposal however, 1t Is indicated, will not receive the seri- ous attention of Congress, certainly not of the Senate.

EARRISON'S SPEECH AT MONTGOMERY JUNE 3

Washington. May 26.-(Speclal)-
 Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi Is
 looking forward with great deal Of
 pleasure to his visit to Montgomery
 June 3. On that date he will deliver
 the principal address incident to the
 dedication of the White House of the
 Confederacy As June is the birth
 day of Jefferson Davis, and as the President of the Confederate States of
 America is generally regarded as a Mssissippian, Senator Harrison will speak at considerable length on the his- tory and character of man who was one of the greatest Americans as well as the hero of a section.
 The committee having in charge the celebration could not have made a hap pier selection for a speaker Senator Harrison Is southern and democratic,
 and has not yielded to the popular con tention that the south was wrong and the War Between the States should be forgotten. On the other hand. he holds that constitutionally the south was right, and that the glories of southern manhood and southern arms should be remembered and regarded as blessed | heritage to the children of southern | heroes
 Senator Harrison Is very much of an l American. He will go to the extent of I agreeing that it is well that the south was not successful in its attempted se- cession, but he resents any imputation against the south's courage, patriotism and achievement in arms and industry. | Senators Underwood and Heflin will | probably be unable to attend the cele- 1 bration. Senator Underwood, as leader | of the democrats in the Senate, has his | hands full all the time. Senator Heflin, | on May 27, will participate in the silver l jubilee of the American Cotton Manu- | facturers' association, at Philadelphia, and on the evening of May 31, will ad-
 dress the convention of the American 1 Cotton association in New York.

BANK.
 AT FIVE POINTS. .TO OPEN TODAY.
Business Will Be Resumed
 By Bak Which Closed
 Doors Threk Weeks Ago -Is Stronger Than Ever

The Citizens State bank at Five Points, which voluntarily closed its doors late in March, will reopen for business at the usual hour this morning, according to announce ments yesterday by L. L. Steward. cashier, and the state banking de- partment. Reopening of the bank was made possible by the co-opera- ton of the depositors and the de- pertinent, it was declared.
 A few days after the bank closed it's doors three weeks ago it was re- ported that plans were under way to reopen it. This was confirmed short ly after by announcements that such plans were being made, and still later an outline of the plans was given. Setting of the date for resumption of business came as final assurance yes terday
 While MT. Steward gave full credit to others, state officials said his eff forts figured largely in the adjust ment of the banks affairs.
 One of the chief features of the plan under which the Citizens bank is reopening today is an agreement of the depositors to let their balances stand for a year.
 MT. Steward said the concern would resume operations as strong as any bank in the country. He also said it was expected the capital stock would be increased from $25,000 to S100, ,000 It is understood a large re- serve will be maintained.
 The fact that depositors, stock holders and directors are working in full accord, all satisfied with the ad- I justment, was stressed in the an- nouncement of the reopening. The state banking department in a similar announcement said it was checking back the property and records to the officers and that the bank would be stronger than ever.
 Incidentally MT. Steward gave high praise to the state banking depart ment as well as to the depositors ir connection with the reopening. The Citizens bank would never have closed at all had it not been fol groundless rumors, MT. Steward said i in commenting on the resumption oi l business Constant false rumors ana the resulting agitation forced tht
 bank to close its doors when other
 wise it would have been able to con
 tinue business as usual he said. Announcement that the bank would
 reopen this morning was received
 quietly yesterday as merely confirm
 ing what had been known before 1 Confidence in the bank has been ex-
 pressed frequently in local financia circles and it's reopening bears out it reputation as a solid institution, according to business men.
