HUEY SUGGESTS
 NEW COURTHOUSE
ReSubmitment of Full Amount of Road Bonds Meets
 Opposition

At conference of the board Of revenue of Jefferson county and W. K Terry, county attorney, tomorrow morning at Il o'clock it will be de : cded whether or not the S3,000,000 worth of the 5000, ,O00 road improve ment bonds or any portion of them will be resubmitted to the voters of the county at rate of interest or per cent instead of per cent as now carried by the bonds.
 It was learned yesterday that Thomas E. Huey, member of the board, was opposed to resubmittng the entire $3000,000 to the people. He contends that $l,500,0o0 worth or bonds to bear per cent interest Tor the purpose of constructing roads would be sufficient at this time. con sidering that $2,0o0,000 has already been spent under the authorization of 1920.
 MT. fIuey stated that in his opinion 1t would be better to use the re- maining $1,500, 900 for the retire ment of the SS00.00 floating debt and the remainder for the erection of a new courthouse
 He points out that Jefferson county is Srapidly growing ana eA : banding in all of it's activities and inc hoard of revenue should consider it's obligations of the future Tn rel erence to all of the departments that come under it's supervision. lie de :. clared that hospital extensions would in the near future be essentially hec- egS9ry.

Without the fabrication in transit right Bir- ningham fabricato must pay s1e local rate on steel from PittsburS and other producing centers, and the local rate cn the fabricated product to the point of consumption. with the fabrication in transit priv lege only the through rate from point of origin to destination via Birmingham is charged.
 This will mean a great saving 10 such plants as the Ingalls, Iron Works. the Southern Bridge com pany, Birmingham Steel corporation and other Birmingham fabricatoi $. It will be that much more of an ad- vantage in reaching the south gulf and southeast with Birmingham fab- rlcated steel.

 There seems no doubt that tine privilege wilt he accorded, with the Louisville and Nashville and Sod.s.- ern requesting it.
 Tie Illinois Central railroad has asked this IriNilege for Memphis. If granted to Memphis and Birrn Ing ham did not have it, that city wonll have distinct advantage over Bis mingham in competitive territory. This phase of Inc situation was pre- scented to the Southern and Louis villo and Nashville, and this. il is believeds had weight in determining the action of these two roads in ia. voring fabrication in transit for Bir- minGham.

  Mir. Adams finally decided to make the trip and was busy all of Satur- day assembling data necessary to make a full presentation of the city S advantages for the Moose home for aged and infirm.
 Knows Birmingham
 Few men have lived in Birmingham and been so continuously active in iron production and other industrial work and are so we'll posted on the resources and achievements of Bir- mingham as Mir. Adams. according to the committee. If it gets down to the details of selecting the place for the home, local Moose and civic en- thusiasts believe that the case of Birmingham is in competent hands MT. Adams is friend of Secretary of Labor James J. Davis, who IS director general of the Moose order and who will make the keynote speech of the convention. When MT Davis was puddler in iron making here back in the nineties, MT. Adams was closely associated with him and therefore is in position to remind the director- general that Birmingham is still on the map"
 Want Next Convention

They also announced Saturday that they will try to commit the convention to the plan of regional Moosehearts throughout. the United States.

This would be in addition to the home for aged and infirm, Mooseheart being, the famous training institution for the dependent children of Moose.

THOMPSON FAVORS
 NORTHBOUND RATES
Will Advocate Proper Adjust ment of Tariffs on
 Local Metals

Frederic I. Thompson. Alabama member of the shipping board, is in hearty accord with the Birmingham iron and steel interests in asking the same freight rate differentials on northbound traffic via the Warrior and Mallory lines as now obtain from the eastern seaboard and interior points this way.
 This matter is now in the hands of ing whose action no further step has been taken. The rates from the west this way were granted after a con ference between Mir. Thompson and Southern railway and Mallory line of ficials. It is regarded as probable that the matter of northbound rates will be handled in the same way
 C.. E. Jones, secretary of the Bir- mingham Traffic Bureau, forwarded 10 Mir. Thompson articles in The Age : Herald relating to this matter. MT. Thompson has replied to MT. Jones as follows:
 Please let me thank you cordially for letting me see the clippings from The Birmingham Age Herald, re- garding publication of rates north bound from Birmingham to eastern seaboard territory.
 Il am sure you recognize my ear nest desire to assist you in any way possible in the promulgation of rates covering the wihses of Birmingham and to which, of course, think you are clearly entitled"

A G. A. R. VERDICT.

A c. A. R. veteran of Cofxmbus, Ohio, says: "While attending our Grand army encampments for the past few years in many cities of the United States I have come to the conclusion we could not get along without the boy scouts everwilling help. They are the first persons we meet when we get off the train, to carry our luggage to our stopping place, and if we have no place engaged they will take us to one and see that we are made comfortable. They can beat the police at their own game when it comes to watching street crossing or keeping the streets clear for parade. They are always on hand with a cool cup of water; in fact, everywhere to do a good deed for somebody I have learned to love them I consider the boy scout movements one of the best schools of American education. I say God bless them and the men who con- tribute their time and money to boost them. Boys, the Grand Army of the Republic are your friends"

BOL SCOUTS & &fG Conducted by National Council Of the Boy
 Scouts of America-)
FIRST TO WIN GOLD MEnl

Dale Collier of Rock Island, Ill.,, has the honor of being the fssst scout to win the new gold medal just designed for the Court of Honor, by Belmore Brown, the explorer. The incident which won the coveted National Scout Medal of Honor for young Collier oc- cured last January.
 The boy had just started on an er- rand for his mother when he noticed three men walking on the ice on the river. Even as he saw them he per ceived to his horror that the ice was breaking beneath them. He ran about 300 yards and found an old boat. There were no oars but he snatched up a piece of board and jumping into the boat broke his way through to where one of the men was sinking. The boy threw him the board and pulled the boat, fast filling with wa ter close to the man, got him into It and back to shore Then emptying out the boat he set out again in search of the others. This time, not having even the board to help him, he beat HIS way lHIOuSH lile 1ce uOWISlTcdIl with his fists. By this arduous process he finally got to where the other two men were. He managed with much difficulty to get both into the boat, which then began to sink from the weight and having shipped so much water The men being unconscious, the boy bailed for dear life with his hands, screaming. for help. Another boat reached them in time and all were gotten ashore. Not content witf. his already heroic achievement young Collier worked over the unconscious men trying to induce artificial respira- ti0n. He succeeded in the case of one man but the other who was jus. recovering from an illness never T. gained consciousness. The story
 one of the most striking of the nam noteworthy instances of scout pluck and resourcefulness that have passed through the hands of the Court of Honor and Scout Collier we'll deserves the honor accorded him.

ULSTER KILLS HOPE
 F0R EARLY PEACE
SIR JAMES CRAIG QUITS LONDON FARLEY AND HOPES OF SET
 ELEMENT FALL.
"NO PARTITION" REJECTED
Now Remslns For MT. de Valera and British People To Como To Terms Regarding Area Outside
 of Ulste-.-

London.--The Irish negotiations have taken an unexpected develop. ment. Sir James Craig, the Ulster premier, leaving for Belfast, made an important statement which appears to forbid any hope of assembling con- ference such as Premier Lloyd George proposed between himself, MT. de Va lera and the Ulster premier
 The Ulster leader maintains that the Sim Feiners by contesting the elections for the northern Parliament on platform of mo partition" in which they were roundly defeated, 1, have recognized Listers claim to self determination, and SO far as his words have been interpreted for the spresent he seems to wash his hands of any further participation in the peace ne gotiations. Sir James said:
 "I return home well satisfied with the efforts being made toward peace. MT de Valera has broken his silence and cleared the ground by his state ment to the press that he proposes 10 found his claim on recognition Of the right of self-determination'
 The Ulster premier contended that the people of northern Ireland in the recent elections determined" their own Parliament by an overwhelming majority. No partition" in fact, was the only issue placed before the electorate, he said, and it was reject ed by the largest majority ever ob- tained In any general election.
 Such being the true facts,'' he said, ''it now only remains for MT. de Valera and the British people to come to terms regarding the area oursloe of that of which I am prime minister. The people of northern Ireland mak @ no claim whatever to determine the terms of settlement with Great Britain shall make with southern Ire. land.
 When this Is accomplished can promise cordial cooperation on equal terms with southern Ireland in any matters affecting our common in. terest.
 Having reached the present stage, I return to Ireland to carry on the practical work of the government. l feel that our interests are ably rep resented in the imperial parliament and of course our services are availa- ble at any moment"
