 It is understood the sale of revenue stamps has increased very much since the special agents have been assigned to this district.
 VIII Prosecute
 If any irregularities were found, no information was given out con corning them. However, it was stated that if any were discovered, proceed ings to prosecute those guilty of this offense will be instituted by the United States attorney following in- structions from the department at Washington which passes on any ir- regularities found by the special agents in checking the records

More than $30,000 in luxury and miscellaneous taxes have been col lected in this district during the past three weeks as a result of the check ing of the records of various busi- nesses, merchants and corporations.
 Eighteen special agents of the de- partment of internal revenue have been engaged in this work here for three weeks under the direction of H. L. Gather, supervisor. with head quarters in Jacksonville, Fla. They have completed the checking and will leave today for Mobile, where the records of that city will be gone over.
 The city was divided into districts and each special agent was assigned to certain district. In checking the records, it was stated several mjs- takes had been found, but were either due to misinterpretation of the law or through straight error. When these were found, the money was paid into the office of John D. Mo Neel, collector of internal revenue.
 Years Back Tax
 One firm collected the tax in 1919, it is stated, but thinking the law was not in effect, failed to collect 1t in 1920. However, they started collect ing 1t again in 1921 and after check ing the records of the business. the firm was required to pay the tax which should have been collected in 1920.

HUGH MORROW LANDS
 SEVEN-FOOT PARTON

Breaking heavy fishing rod in its effort to become free, one of the largest tarpons caught along the gulf coast was landed by Hugh Morrow, who has been spending the past few days at Weeks Bay.
 The big fish was seven feet in length and weighed 140 pounds. While trclling with spoon MT. Mor- row felt the strike of the tarpon and then the fun began. Telling of the catch. The Mobile Register says:
 What is claimed to be one of the largest tarpon ever caught in gulf waters was on display at the Mobile Sporting Goods company yesterday. The tarpon's measurement was givcu as seven feet in length, with girth of 37 inches, the giant fish being caught by Hugh Morrow, Birming- ham lawyer, in Weeks Bay, while trolling with a spoon.
 Although comparing favorably with the record tarpon caught in 1918 by w. D. Oliver, also of Birming- ham girth is not quite 50 large, and weighs 140 pounds, 70 pounds less than the record tarpon. The fish was caught Sunday afternoon. after a real struggle. The fish brol . a heavy rod, close to the reel, dur Ing one of It's leaps, but MT. Morrow finally landed him"

POSTOFF|CE SPACE |SAT APREM|UM
Federal Officials Expected to Need Both of Local
 Buildings

Furniture and equipment for the new postoffice and government build ing on Fifth avenue and Nineteenth street is being received in Birming- ham daily. and it Is expected that all of it will be here between Sep.sm- Der l and 15.
 Up to the present time seven car loads have been received, but ap- proximately s5 cars will be neces- sary to bring the equipment for the new building, according to Postmas- ter R. B. Smyer.
 Just, as soon as it arrives the 6e- partment will move into the new building, 1t is stated, and just what disposition will be made of the pres ent postoffice is not known.
 While there have been various rug gestions as to what would become of the old building, nothing definite las been announced by the department, and MT. Smyer stated that the buili- ing could only be disposed of by an act of Congress.
 However. 1t is probable that no ois- position will be made of the building at all as it is pointed out that the department needs centrally located property in the immediate future, f not at the present time. It is stated that many government representa- tives of the various departments have no office space in the new postoffice and they are making efforts to se- cure quarters in thv old building after the postoffice/ department moves. Whether or not this will he done is not known, as at the pres ent time these various agents have quarters in some of the downtown office buildings.
 Although the new building Is com plete and ready for occupancy the delay of the furniture has prevented the moving of the postoffice. but this will be done as soon as possible. according to MT. smyer as the need for larger and more adequate quar- ters is urgent

CHINA IS TAKING
 13,000 TONS 0F
 MAGIC CITY STEEL
Foreign Orders Have Kept Mills at EnsIey Running While Plants In Other
 Cities Have Closed
By R. F. JOHNSTON

Within a few months .far-off China, half way around the world, will have taken 25,000 tons of steel rails rolled in the mills of the Ten nessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company at Ensley, carried down the Warrior river in barges to Mo bile and thence conveyed to desti- nation in ocean freighters carved out of the hills of Jefferson county.
 The Chinese government has ord cred 1s,00o tons of rails for the Pekin Huanhan railroad. The rails are to be rolled Immediately in the mills at Ensley and will be shipped out of Mobile as soon as the Warrior barges can get them to the gulf.
 1z.OOO Tons of Rails
 Some time ago the Tennessee com paing received an order for 12,000 tons of rails for the Manchurian rail road. These were rolled at Ensley and were taken to Darien in freight
  building and Car company, subsidiary of the Tennessee company.
 It is such orders as these 25,o00 tons of rails for China that have served to keep the steel works of the Tennessee and Chickasaw com panies going a t the rate of 50 per cent when steel mills in other parts of the country were struggling along at pace of 20 to 25 per cent.
 These export orders have come to the Birmingham mills because they are best situatedA for the export trade. Proximity to the gulf is one thing and the vessels built at Mobile py the Chickasaw company for the lsthmian Steamship company, another Steel corporation auxiliary, are another. A third and large factor is the 20 per cent saving in the all-rail freight rate to deep water obtaining on the Warrior river.
 Prophecy Fulfilled
 When the Steel corporation first obtained control of the Tennessee company Judge Gary, chairman of the board of the corporation, declared that Birmingham was the logical steel making and distributing point for the south. southwest and the ex- port trade. That forecast has been more than borne out during the period of depression in the steel trade by the 50 per cent production or the finishing mills at Ensley and Fair field. But for Birmingham's pecu- liar advantages for export business much of the export tonnage would not have been diverted to the Bir- mingham mills by the export depart ment of the Steel corporation.
 Tho Bessemer plate mills arc also in operation this week, adding that much more to the schedule of the finishing mills. Enormous quantities of steel plates have been exported from Birmingham mills this year.
 Rails for Alaska
 Another large order coming to Bir- mingham on account of it's advan- tages as an exporter to far away places was that of 10000 tons of rails for Alaska. Part of this order has been filled and gone to Alaska on Chickasaw ships. The Memphis City one of them, is now in Mobile harbor loading with the remainder of this rail order and with the track ac- cessories that are now being manu- factured on such broad scale at Fairfield
 Tho tie- plate plant of the Tennessee company has been doubled in pro- duction capacity ard is one of the mills that is at normal.
