10000 MEN GUARDED THE
 AMERICAN EMBASSY IN PARIS


 Paris, Oct. 25.-Ten thousand soldier and policemen guarded the American em- bassy and neighboring streets today to prevent threatened demonstration by French communists in protest against the conviction on a murder charge in a Mas sachusetts court of Niccola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, but no communists appeared there.
 Long before the hour set of the eoncen- tration at Porte Maillot tee thousand troops were on the scene while others manned machine guns on top of the city wall comma nGing a view of the entire square. A few communists emerged from the subway station at Porte Maillot but they were hustled outside the city walls before they could organize and start a procession to the embassy. Their rallying cry of justice liberty brought derisive laughter from the usual large Sunday crowds of sightseers. Much larger crowds remained near the Arc De Triomphe to watch the procession of war veterans deposit wreaths on the tomb of 1 the unknown soldier.
 American military police, long obsent l from Paris, reappeared today. Two oi | them were on guard near the American | embassy and otherS were stationed al | the passport bureau.
 Marcel Cachin, leader of the communist party, was roughly handled by his owr sympathizers who met him as they were returning from Porte Maillot They re preached him for having failed to put uy an appearance at the meeting place naC 1 struck him repeatedly. Police finall, came to his rescue and escorted him tc a place of safety.
 The Italian embassy also was heavily | guarded during the day. French court 1 were kept in session throughout the da, but the judges had little to do, as onl, six arrests were made The paloce sal they have the situation absolutely unde control insofar as wholeale demonstra ton is concerned

TRAFFIC BUREAU
 ID PROTEST RATES Rank Discrimination Charged
 In Protest to Interstate N Commission

The. Birmingham Traffic Bureau entered protest with the interstate commission against the new rates on commodities from the Pacific coast to Mississippi river points and points north of the Ohio river on the ground that they discriminate against Bir- mingham and other southeastern points.
 Photographic notice to this effect has been wired to the commission. The telegram in part says; "To per- init the rates mentioned to become effective and to deny the southeast a similar reduction will create rank discrimination and work irreparable damage"
 The new rates are lower than the present ones, but do not apply to Bir mingham and other southeastern points, while they do apply to Mem phis. New Orleans and St. Louis, which. it is thought. will be to the advantage o\ jobbers in those cities and to the disadvantage of Birming- ham jobbers.
 It is stated that the cause of the failure of the new rates to be. estab- lished into this and other southe east ern territory is disagreement between carriers as to what proportion of the rate the southeastern carriers shall have

 When arrested. Foster made the statement to the police that the shooting was the result of petition which he had drawn up at the request Of his neighbors. asking tho city to remove Mrs. c. w. Newsome from the neighborhood, because of alleged in- timacy between her and Ed Newsome, her brother-in-law. He also claimed that Newsome cursed him and fired the first shot. Newsome was shot three times by Foster.
 Mrs. Newsome stated last night that the trouble arose over the ac- tions of Mrs. Foster. who had called Ed Newsome's wife over the tele- phone making certain allegations in reference to the conduct of herself and Newsome. She said that the pur- pose of Ed Newsome's visit to Eos ters home on Saturday was to ask Foster what his wife meant by call ing up his home. She said the shoot ing occurred while she was away from home.

TIDE HAS TURNED.
 SAYS HAMMOND
Iron and Steel Expert Pre- diets Business Revival,
 But Not Boom

Horace Hammond, Hammond Byrd Iron company. is among the iron and steel experts who believe the turn has been made and that betterm en has set in.
 MT. Hammond said: "Yes, the tide has turned It would seem foolish not to see that. I sense nothing like boom and, so far as I am concerned, I would rather not have one
 We have gotten around the cor- ner and betterment is on it's way with what might be called gradual feet. That 1t is on it's way Is good to those who have so long waited.
 The crops will be marketed early and freely this year. I believe. The lesson of blindly holding back in hope of rise in prices has been fully learned. l look for fairly complete liquidation so far as the returns from agricultural production will enable it. The crops having been produced eco nomically liquidation should be ex- tensive and that means lot of money entering into the arteries of dI lidue liOHi the OFlSlHdI source.
 Then we have reason to con graduate ourselves on the apparently wise policy of Secretary Hughes in our foreign relations. MT. Hughes and the President are conduct ting these delicate matters with singular clrcumspection. They are going slowly, but they seem to be making no mistakes. Our foreign relations are matter of the utmost impor- tance. It is well to have them con ducted capably, because the manner of their conduct reacts on our af- fairs here at home"

CAPACITY OF ALA. BY-PRODUCT PLANTS SHO WIS INCREASE
Ranks Fourth In Coke Pro- duCing States-Makes 40 Per Cent Increase, Ac-
 Cording to Summary

Alabama comes to the front in the improving conditions in the iron and steel markets, with 40 per cent in- crease in the capacity of her by product plants, ready to serve to full extent in the go ahead movement.
 Official summary of by-product works in the country shows Alabama fourth, with Pennsylvania th the lead, Ohio second and Indiana third. None below Alabama approach this states by-product capacity.
 Pennsylvania has 1s by-product plants, with S,951 ovens and produc- ing 11,15S.ooo tons of coke per an- nun.
 Ohio has 1858 ovens. producing 71s7oo0 tons of coke per annum; In- diana has 1,21e ovens with a produc- ing capacity of 5.so1. 700 tons.
 Has 1.141 Ovens
 Alabama has 1,141 ovens, operated by seven different owners. and pro- ducing 4,s9s,200 tons of coke per an mum.
 Alabamas ovens with owners and capacities are as follows:
 Alabama By-product company, Bir- mingham, 50 ovens of Koppers type, producing 235,o tons of coke and consuming 335,0e0 tons of coal per annum.
 Gulf States Steel company, Ala bama City, S7 Koppers ovens. produc- ing 175,000 tons of coke and consum- ing 2S7,000 tons of coal.
 Semet-Solvay company, Birming- ham (Ensley), 240 Semet-Solvay ovens, producing 530,o0o tons of coke and consuming 76o,oOO tons of coal.

 Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, Birmingham (Fairfield). ASA ovens, producing 1,220,000 tons of coke and consuming 2,500000 tons of coah
 Woodward Iron company, Wood ward, 140 Koppers and so Wilputte ovens, producing ss7,2oO tons of coke and consuming 1,330,0O0 tons of coal.
 Total of ' plants producing 4,6s9,- 200 tons of coke and consuming an- nually 6,S66,000 tons of coal.
 Of the total, there were added last year the 120 ovens of the Sloss- Shelf field company, the 50 of the Alabama By-products company, and 154 Of the Tennessee company. The added ca pacity is 40 per cent.
 The additional by-product capacity did not come In until the year was half gone, hence their effect was not fully felts in 1920.
 It will be felt hereafter in the eco- homie production of pig iron and in the large revenue that comes from the sale of the chemical by-products, for which there is an unlimited mar ket.

REPORT ON RETAIL COAL SITUATION Commissioners to Report Findings at Tuesdays
 Session

Result of Investigations of the re- tail coal situation by Dr. N. A. Bar rett and J. Ellis Brown is expected to be announced at tomorrow's ses- sion of the city commission. Retail coal men and those who have taken up cudgels for the other side will. be present at the meeting. 1t is expected, and lively tilts over the matter are expected.
 Charges were made before the com mission at it's meeting last week by a committee from the Retail Coal Deal CTS association, headed by Carl F. Wittichen, that the people efj Bir- mingham were being ''swindled through short weights of wagon nyne coal retailers" These charges were met with hot denials by dealers who are selling coal at prices under those of the coal dealers association.
 Dr. Barrett and MT. Brown were appointed a committee by the com mission to look into the matter and see what should be done. It is un-r derstood that an assistant inspector of weights and measures may be put on by the city. Another move. is the requirement. of weight certificates with each ton of coal delivered in the city It is considered likely that this requirement. will be made ef- fective by the commission Tuesday.
