ROY HARRIS CHARGED 5 WITH ELWELL MURDER,
 WAS DUE TO MISTAKE
By Associated Press

Buffalo, N. r.. April s.-Roy Harris whose confession of complicity in the murder of Joseph B. EIwell, New York sportsman and card expert, has puzzled the Buffalo and New York police for two days, had first degree murder charge placed against him for four hours tonight. The charge was placed opposite his name on the blotter at the Niagara street station at o'clock. At 10 o'clock Police Chief Higgins an- nounced the charge would be with drawn and the man would be held on an open charge.
 The charge of murder against Harris was mistake, it was stated, due to the faulty transmission of telegram, which advised Chief Higgins to hold" Harris. The telegram from Acting Chief Inspector Thomas Murphy of New York said:
 Hold Roy Harris on his confession of the murder of Joseph B. Elwell here in June, 1920. pending further inves- tigation."
 When it was transmitted over the telephone to the police at the station house where Harris is held, 1t was construed to mean that a murder charge was to be placed against the man. r

ORGANIZED PEACE WILL HEAL WORLD,
 COLBY DECLARES
More Than 1000 Guests At- tend National Jefferson Day Dinner of the National
 Democratic Club
By Associated Press

New York, April 9.-Organized peace and a league of justice will heal the worlds afflictions, Bainbridge Colby. former Secretary of State, told more than 1000 guests at the annual Jef- ferson day dinner of the National Democratic club.
 "The great idea of an organized peace and a league of justice" MT. Colby said, lis today even greater and more impressive than its builders dreamed. Almost from hour to hour, the wisdom of events which is often greater than that of men, declares 1t to be the only solution of the world g perplexities, the only cure of Its woes. One by one, the shrewd evasions the artful substitutas, the loud puffing and pompous alternatives crumple up under the test of actualities.
 The democratic party can afford to wait in patience and confidence. Dawn is approaching. The day. IS at hand when America will speak to her af- flicted brethren throughout the world in the language of honor and justice; of generosity and unselfishness; of performance and fulfillment"
 Other speakers were Governor Richie oI hldrylanQ, AiITeQ E. smith, former governor of New York; Dr. Henry Van Dyke and Charles B. Alexander, pres- ident of the club.
 Woodrow Wilson sent the following message, which was read after a toast had been proposed to him:
 Tt is interesting and stimulating to reflect that when we celebrate the memory of one of the great founders of the republic, we undertake if we are sincdfe, solemn obligation to perpetuate and set forward the work which he did.
 Jefferson conceived it to be the mission and destiny of the United States to make it easier for men ev- anywhere to attach liberty and the blessings of genuine self -governmen, and to render justice imperative in the dealings of nations and peoples with one another. as well as in the dealings of governments with their own sub- jectS.
 Do we? If we do, what do we mear to do about it?'
 A telegram sent to the former Pres idenA then was read:
 Members of the club,1 1t ,said ir part, send you their felicitations ant hope for your speedy restoration t. perfect health. They cannot forge the exa1ting vision which character ized your career in the presidential office"

 Cleveland, April 9.-The National League of Women Voters. with approx imately 100000 in the 4s states. will open it's second annual convention hero Monday with about 1000 delegates and alternates, representing the member> ship in it's first convention since the women were given the right to vote.

 Republican and democratic women alike, their. partisanship forgotten, will be here to rededicate their en- ergies to winning from the national lawmakers and from each of the 48 state governments those rights which they believe the women of America must have to fulfill their highest duties under their right to vote.
 One of the most important things the convention is expected to seek is a method of getting the national ad- ministration to pass law to protect the mothers of the country and their babies The board of directors, the chairmen of standing committees and the regional directors have been in preconvention session here since Thursday mapping out the work of the convention and it is expected that rec concentrations in favor of the passage of the Sheppard -Towner bill provid- ing federal aid for maternity and fn- fant care, will be presented to the

 Ernest A. Van Vleck, New York; c. G. Gaertner, general manager, and H. T. Ashley, engineer. will arrive in Birming- ham Tuesday to confer with H. B. Wheelock, in charge here, and members of the firm. This information was given uot yesetrday by MT. Pizitz.

WATER WORKS STOCK
 ATTRACTS BUYERS FROM ALL CLASSES

Business conditions in Birmingham are fundamentally sound and the peo- pie of this city have money to invest if they are convinced that the security IS ample and the returns are certain, in the opinion of Harry H. Horner, vice president of the Birmingham Water Works company.
 After analyzing the list of purchasers of the preferred stock now being offered the people of Birmingham by the Bir- mingham Waterworks company, MT. Hor- ner declared that the investment in this stock was being made by men and women of every walk of life. Not alone the rich, but the salaried people and the wage earners as well seem to have money to invest
 School teachers in many instances are underpaid, but we have had a num- Der of them to take stock in our com pany," declared MT. Horner. This, to my mind, does not indicate that school teachers are overpaid for their services, fbut rather that those who do receive q fair return for their work are frugal and are looking for some conservative se- curity in which to invest their savings.
 WE'LL POSTED MEN
 -But 1t seems that this stock has ap- pealed not only to those of small means who have a limited amount to invest. but we number among our stockholders quite a number of men of great wealth. There are many heads of corporations on our books. These men are necessarily well posted on financial conditions; they have every information regarding se- curities, and the fact that they have chosen the water company as the place to put their money we consider a com pliment
 Among others who have invested might be mentioned lawyers doctors. preachers, farmers, nurses, city firemen. policemen. merchants, housewives, clerks, stenographers, plumbers, carpenters, con tractors and brokers. This shows that money to invest in Birmingham is not confined to any one class, but that peo- Eple of all classes have saved some money and are placing 1t in a safe se- ctrity for rainy day.
 VALUE OF ADVERTISING
 'TThe sale of this stock has convinced us of the value of newspaper advertis- ing when it is desired to reach the gen leral public. We have not tried to reach ttIc 1iClA PSoPhS dkohC but Ao|VO "e@hAsSN W interest as many of our customers as possible in this stock We have found that we can reach the public through the newspapers. for a majority of the people who come to our office either bring a copy of the advertisement Of refer to what they have read in the newspapers about this stock
 .It has bee nhighty gratifying to use to find the confidence in which the com pany is held by the public and the man ner in which this security is regarded by investors. Naturally we will continue to manage the property as best we can SC that we may continue to receive the good will and confidence of the people
