Colonel Mitchell Says East erners Are Preparing for More Business

Col. R. A. Mitchell, vice president of the Alabama Power company, who has just returned from New York; declares the feeling among commer- cial and industrial leaders there Is much more optimistic than 1t has been.
 ''The leaders seem to be convinced the country has gone through the worst. of it and conditions will mend from how on" said Colonel Mitchell. "They pointed out to me that money is easier and in one direction and then in another there is an evident disposition to go ahead on rcaiza- tion that going ahead is feasible anu the best thing to do.
 q found customers much more hopeful then they have been in long time.
 "Our company has begun construc- ticn of the railroad to the Mitchell dam site on the Coosa and we intend to give as much work to as many men as possible as soon as possible. We believe that this will serve the reople and I myself have always been convinced the time to prepare for the future is when business is dull.
 "There is no very acute demand for more power at this time, but l trv to look forward and realize the demand that will be here two years hence when the dam is ready to serve. I think it far better to be ahead of the demand for produc. than to wait on the demand beiore nroviding it."

Shippers and Committee Fail to Agree-Referred to the
 Interstate Commission

The conference held in Atlanta this week between shippers of the south eastern territory and the fourth sec tion committee of the trunk lines in respect to adjustment of class rates to the fourth section requirements of the transportation act, resulted in inability to agree and referring the entire question to. the interstate con- merce commission.
 o. l.. Bum, general manager of the Birmingham Traffic Bureau gave this information over long distance telephone from Atlanta to Charles D.. Jones, secretary of the bureau. yes terday afternoon.
 The committee of shippers, failing to come to terms on the rates. mu- tually. agreed to turn the matter over to the interstate commerce commits sion, with request that the commis- sion investigate the entire south eastern system of class rates and call said the speaker. With other re- sources such as coal and iron, once used they are gone forever. The only way to get any benefit from water power is to use it constantly and no matter how long you use it, there is just as. much left as when you started.
 MT. Mitchell pointed out that con trary to the belief of many people. those who invested their millions in this development of Alabama had very largely received no return up to the present time. The bonds of
 the company paid nominal rate of interest and the preferred stock, of course, paid a regular annual re- turn, but the common stockholders had received nothing on their money yet. He paid high tribute to the

Disfranchisement of Ex- Serv- ice Men and Women Makes Concerted Action for
 Team Work, Necessary

The American Legion committee on plans for the membership cam paign starting Monday, July IS, completed it's plan of attack yes- terday afternoon.
 Maj. J. T. MeEwen, field marshal for the drive, announces the cam paign will be confined to the loop section of the city, the operating plants and the business blocks of the city's suburbs The field marshal says there will be 100 teams on the firing line. Each will consist of three persons, one woman and two men. The woman in the case will be in- terested in taking" the mothers, wives, sisters and daughters of ex- service men and women for the wom- ems Auxiliary of Birmingham post No. 1 of the American Legion.
 Time to Act
 George Lewis Bailes, post com mander. believes that developments in Washington the latest of which is President Hardings anti-bonus ad- dress to the Senate, alongside the vote situation at Montgomery make the imperative need for organization and concerted action more apparent to the ex-service men and women than they have ever yet realized.
 In A letter addressed to every mem Der of the legion in Birmingham, the post commander outlines the plans for the membership crusade, urges a full attendance at the regular month ly meetings and adds the following;
 Hangs in Balance
 '"The fate of the bonus bill Is right now in the balance. Several thou sands of us were disfranchised by inc supreme court of Alabama. June 30. 1921. It is time for the ex-seNvice men and women in Birmingham to act. We must act together. This means organization. Organization means the American Legion"
 The finishing touches for the mem bership campaign will be added by the general meeting of Birmingham post No. 1 at the Civic Association Friday night, July Is, at o'clock.

knew of any enemies the family might have.
 One of the biggest mysteries the detectives have to, solve is how the attacking party got out of the house after, having committed the crimes The detectives had to cut their way through a screen door and then break the lock on an inside door to be able to get into the house to con duct an investigation. The party or parties who attacked the family escaped from the house and still every window and door, both in the store and In the house. was found locked.
 Passed Little Ones
 Another mystery which the officers have yet to solve Is why did the assailant or, assailants only attack the father and mother and older daughter and leave unharmed the three younger members of the family.
 The three younger children could not have been overlooked, officers say, because they were asleep in the room with their father and mother who were beaten in the head, ana their bed had to be passed in order for the assailant to get out to the SleeplnE porSH " "'sa N " daughter.
 At the hospital last night 1t was stated neither the father or mother had regained consciousness sin'e they were admitted. The older daughter regained, consciousness TOT a short time late yesterday afternoon hut it was evident she had been struck while asleep and she couie not tell anything that would aid tte police.
 Hollums, Riley, Christian and Hei ton are the city detectives who arc working on the case. At city de tective headquarters last night 1t wa stated the men would probably p' out all night in an effort to get som' clues as to the identity and where abouts of the assailants before th lrrail is cold.

CRUSH SKULLS OF THREE WHILE THEY
 ARE LYING ASLEEP
Charles BaIdone, Local Mer- chant, His Wife and Daugh- ter Suffer at Hands of
 Unknown Intruder

Following a day of extended in- vestigations yesterday the police this morning are now without a definite clue to the identity of the party or parties who probably fatal ly injured Charles Baldone, proprie- tor of a store at 4510 Tenth avenue, north, his wife, Mary, and 14-year- old daughter, Virginia, by crushing tkeir skulls with heavy blunt in strument while they were asleep in bed at their home early yesterday morning.
 The tragedy was discovered about o'clock yesterday morning. An ann bulance from the Johns Undertaking company carried the injured people to. the Norwood infirmary immediate ly.' At a late hour last night at the hospital it was stated that both the man and his wife had but little chance to recover. and the daughter was still in very serious condi- ton.
 No Clue Found
 City detectives who are investigat- ing the attack have so far formed no definite conclusion as to the cause for it. Frank, one of the three young CT children of the family, who was asleep in the room with his parents when they were attacked, told police officers yesterday it was negro who had attacked his father, mother and sister.
 Detectives who are investigating the case say they believe the work looks very much like it might have been caused by an enemy of the family Robbery is certainly not the motive for the attack, they say. for approximiately $40 in a cash register in the store adjoining the rooms where the attack occurred was left untouched
 It is not known just exactly the hour when the attack was made. The unconscious people were not discov- cred until a bakery wagon passed the store, and the driver finding the store still closed, began asking ques- tions of people who live nearby. 4 crowd soon collected and one among them peeped through the key hole of the door to the bedroom occupied by the man and his wife and three younger children. The older daughter, virsinia, slept upon screened sleeping porch
 Tragedy Seen
 It was an old cobbler who ran 8 shop in an adjoining store who looked in.s He saw only the wife of the propietor of the store lying upon her bed'tin a pool of blood. Police head quarters was notified and J. l.. Ed wards, an emergency call officer came to the scene.
 Seeing immediately the seriousness ofsthe crime, Officer Edwards called detective Headquarters and four mer were rushed to the place at once. Tht injured people Were first removed to the hospital then the officers se' about trying to find some clue to the identity of the assailant or assailants
 Inquiries among the residents failed to reveal the possibility of anyone having seen any suspicious characters hanging around the store. No not
