Letter to Lockwood Thought
to Contain Committee
Counsel's Decision; SEN
ate Gets Issue Tomorrow

AS result of protracted confer
ence between Samuel Untermyer, coun-
sci for the Lockwood committee on
housing, and Senator Lockwood, it's
chairman, on Saturday Mr.. Untermyer
yesterday sent letter to the Senator
which is said to have an important
bearing on the future plans of the
committee.
While no details of the letter could
be learned, it was thought it might in
oicate whether Mr.. Untermyer had
agreed to continue as the committees
counsel. 1t was feared bv members of
the committee that the refusal of the
Legislature to grant the extra powers
enabling the committee to investigate
banks and insurance companies might
result in his withdrawal.
The question of granting the in
creased powers comes up before the
state Senate tomorrow. The Assem-
bly, has passed a resolution continuing
the committees life without the addi-
tional powers.
In the event that Mr.. Untermyer de-
cides to continue, hearings probably
will be resumed within ten days. More
combinations are then expected to be
exposed and indictments returned
wholesale. The sessions will last
about q week
Before the Legislature adiourns in
March Mr.. Untermyer expects to make
all intermediate report on the work of
the committee, after which he will go
South for vacation. Constructive
legislative measures as suggested by
the probe will be taken up upon his
return about the latter part Of April.
In the mean time the criminal prose-
cutions growing out of the evidence de-
veloped by the committee will be
pressed in the courts. The trial Of
Robert P. Brindell, the labor leader,
charged with extortion, will continue
before. Justice McAvoy this morning.
The defense probably will close its
case at the end of this week
The case will be followed Immediate
ly by the trial Of John T. Hettrick, the
lawyer head of several groups of build
ing material contractors who operated
on his "code of practice" scheme Of
alleged collusive bidding. Henry L.
Stimson, formerly Secretary of War in
the Roosevelt Cabinet, has been re-
t:ined to prosecute this case

U. S. May Broaden
Order Prohibiting
Liquor Withdrawal
Further Application of Dras-
tic Regulation Will De-
pend OH Local Conditions,
Enforcement Officers Say

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3o.-Orders pro-
hibiting the withdrawal Of liquor from
bonded warehouses, announced last
night as having been issued for seven
Eastern states, will be extended wher-
ever required by local conditions, pro-
hibition officials declared tonight.
Extension Of the prohibition against
the outward fow of liquor from ware
houses, the officials added, would be
governed entirely by the amount of
liquor already withdrawn in the vari-
GUS states. Confirmation of reports
that the states Of Illinois, Ohio and
Kentucky would be the next to have
their warehouses closed was refused by
officials, although they added that the
situation in those three states would
be given early consideration.
The orders issued last night and eff

"Of course, it is the minister who

lost in the congregational conscious
ness Of the feminine garments in the
choir loft. Sometimes he longs for the
magesterial authority of the old-time
Puritan parson, who would have made
short work in dealing with such stu
alton.
OF course, the one decisive and final
solution is the vested choir. Here is an
end of all clashes of color, all anachron-

Years, Oldest 1O3
3,567Men and 2 ,6O4Women
Took Own Lives; 400
War Veterans and SO Mil
lionaires i'm Official List

Suicide is on the increase in the
United States, according to statistics
Tor 1920 made public yesterday by the
Save-a-Life League
During the year 6,171 persons ended
their lives, official statistics show. and
Il is believed, there probably were
nearly twice this number of suicides
in reality. Only about 5000 were re-
ported in 1919. OF those reported
1857 were men and 1904 women. Five
hundred of them killed themselves
after committing murder. The young
est suicide was five years old and the
Oldest 1O3. 1t cost $2,o00,00o to bury the
suicides and the economic loss to the
country is estimated at FIVE times that
sum.
Four hundred veterans Of the World
War killed themselves.
Farmers and farmers wives were
we'll up on the list.
Thirty-six millionaires. twenty-th
rich women and seventy-fve presidents
! and managers of big business concerns
including fourteen bank presidents
ended their own lives in 1920.
Fifty-one physicians, twenty-four
lawyers, including eight judges, three
editors, nine writer's, forty actors and
actresses, thirtyfour teachers and col
lcge professors, twenty-seven college
students, twenty-four brokers, twelve
clergymen, two evangelists and one Y
M. C. A. secretary took their lives.
Suicide among children shows an
alarming increase. There were 7O7
children listed in 1920, as against an
ia 1919. Girls numbered 484 and boys
223. The average age Of the girls was
sixteen and of the boys fifteen. Pistols
were used in most cases by the boys
and poison by the girls.
Some extremely trivial causes for
self-destruction are enumerated in
the leagues report. One man killed
himself because his wife refused to
vote for Cox for President, and an
other because his new suit didn't fit
him. A woman killed herself when
her husband couldn't eat pie she had
baked. Another wife ended her life
when her spouse objected to her using
a powder puff.
"Conditions brought about by the
enactment of the Eighteenth Amend
ment have been the cause of not q
few suicides" declares the report,
"also drug addiction has supplied a
considerable number"

records Of the existing utility in order
to prepare it's case for presentation to

hearings to be held on the valuation.
After the commissions has made its
finding the city can decide whether or
not it will proceed to. acquire the prop

demnation proceedings. If it decides
to condemn then the commissions val

elusive evidence as to the value of the
property. Furthermore, when the final
award has been made the city will be
free to accept or reject it, with the
qualification that in case an award is
rejected the city shall pay the neces-
sary expenses to which the owners of
the utility have been put IL connection

Commission Jurisdiction to prescribe

available. The commission is given
virtually no authority over local utiii-

and reports and with respect to the
operations Of a municipality outside of

matters it Is obvious that some higher
tribunal must have the necessary pow

Camp Andrews is the lodestar for Birmingham Boy Scouts. Around it the whole life of boy scouting in Birmingham is built. These are some of it's main fea- tures
 Boys go out Tn general camps every year during the summer.
 Individual groups go out with their scoutmasters on Saturdays to build cabins.
 Already 20 cabins are up and more will be erected this fall.
 More than 1000 boys have been in camp there since June.
 Boys learn courtesy, considera- tion for others. usefulness to one another and many other estimable traits They receive merits in handiwork. in various tests and in conduct.
 Their organization Is backed by substantial men of the communi- ty. among them E. H. Andrews and Dan Dimick, president of the Southern club.
