Rv MIGNoN HALL

It's to be mass meeting-the next conelave of the League of Women Voters, two weeks from yesterday.
 At that time, the subject of Muscle Shoals is to be taken up with view to dissecting both offers made to the government by Henry Ford and the Alabama Power company.
 The league was asked by Mrs. James H. Hagan, state president, to send representatives today to Mont gomery where the question of the Ford offer is being taken up. But the local league felt that, as the state executive board has not discussed the matter, it would not participate. In addition, the local league wished to inform itself before making any def mite move.
 Public Invited
 Mrs Erie Pettus. program chair man. is now getting the mass meet ing details in shape, and will have speakers on hand, to address tha crowds, who are familiar with both angles of the Muscle Shoals question. To this meeting every woman, and every man in Birmingham is invited. The assemblage will be at the Hill man hotel.
 \ Yesterday C. B. Rogers. of the state board of health and economy, told the league about the various state penal and corrective institutions.

KETTLES TOF|GHT EXTRAD|T|ON MOVE
Local Attorney Named to Rep- resent Georgia in Alleged
 Murder Case

The state of Georgia today. through Solicitor General 2. & Taylor of Rome, began it's fight to extradite George Nichols, who is alleged to be Hiram Casey Kettles, held in Tusca- loosa in connection with the staying of Peter Mooney in Rome, Ca, more than 5t years ago.
 Nichols. through his attorneys, stoutly denied that he is Kettles. de- claring that he had never gone un- der any name except his own, which is Nichols.
 Horace C. Afford, empowered by Solicitor General Taylor to represent the state in the case, declared he would produce witnesses from Geor- gia to substantiate the allegation of Alabama and Georgia that Nichols and Kettles are the same person.
 MT. Afford made application be- fore Judge Foster to change the hearing on the habeas corpus mo- tion from March Il to March &. Counsel for Nichols had this pro- pcsal under advisemenv.
 Mir Afford proposed to the court that in view of the alleged illness or Nichols, that he be allowed to re- main in Tuscaloosa county Jail unti' he had fully recovered, in event the court ordered him turned over 10 Georgia authorities. The man IS said to be suffering from influenza and his general health is in pre- cs rious state, his attorneys said.
 If is understood that Nichols is pre- nared to introduce an array or w.t. resses in an effort to subtsantiate his claim that he is not the man wanted in Rome.

body as specified in the act yesterday confined it's language to the follow ing term. From and after this date the police department of the city of Birmingham shall be composed of and constituted by the following named persons and none other, viz" tHere setting forth the names of those of fieers and attaches of the depart ment who it is intended shall remain on duty for service with the depart ment in keeping with the budget all lowanee for the maintenance of the department of public service.
 The strength of the police depart ment as reorganized by resolution in cludes one chief, one assistant chief and one inspector. one assistant to recorder, six captains, three ser geants, six chauffeurs, 13 motor scouts and To patrolmen.
 To Relieve Budget Increase
 With the adoption of the resolu- ton, only one policewoman Is retained in the service of the city, Mrs. K. B. Brown. and although those who have been dropped by the chief of police under instructions from the head of the safety head to bring the depart ment within it's budget allowance. all have had notice of their discharge ex- cept Mrs. Newsom, although none ot those so discharged appear by name on discharge records. The action was process of elimination in which no names were used, and legal talent heard on the subject is to the effect that the action is believed to come within the law on civil service regu- lations.
 Thus Birmingham is today minus one-seventh of the police depart- ment it had the protection of the day before. Commissioner W. E. Cloe de- elares. however, the discharge is not in the nature of those relieved being fired, but merely temporary lay-off until the department comes within it's budget allowance

Reorganization of the Birmingham police department, following the ac- ton of the city commission in ses- sion yesterday, today finds Mrs. Huldah Newsom involuntarily with in the ranks of the unemployed.
 The policewoman has held office approximately two weeks under pro vision of injunction served upon mem bers of the commission, enjoining the body from illegally dispensing with her services" contingent upon de- cision of the supreme court of Ala bama on the civil service act of 1911. under which the local police depart ment operates.
 The discharge of Mrs Newsom, which has engaged the attention of the public since her replacement by Mrs. F. Barter, remains now one of the outstanding topics of discussion in legal and police circles. The man ner in which the discharge was ef- fected Is declared a master stroke in legal parlanee, and through the re- organization by resolution of the commission, neither Mrs. Newsom' S iiO4 LliD Adihco tt lit ~ OlHfl attaches of the department are men toned.

Birmingham Manufactured Products Exhibit Attracts
 Thousands of Visitors
Housewives Show Is Big Success-Exhibitors Express Appreciation of Co-operation-Ran Fails

Nellie, Mrs. Jack Walton and Mrs. R. E. Chaddick.
 Sevier Speaks
 One of the most cyeditahle shows or exhibits ever held in the Bir- mingham district is that of the Bir- mingham manufacturers on the ground floor of the furniture store of Ben Nj. Jacobs & Bros declared L. Sevier ih an address yesterday morning.
 Mir. Sevier, in his remarks made to the exhibitors and visitors in part said: The Alabama Mangfacturers' association was organized for the purpose of serving the state prinar- fly through the advancement of the industrial interests. It is the ons great medium through which all manufacturers and those producing commodities used in manufacturing. as well as all other conservative business interests, can give the most effective expressions to their collect i've thought on all problems involving z the common welfare. It is controlled in its activities by the majority prin- ciple; it seeks no special favors for it's members at the expense of any other interest, and it expects no re- ward that does not come through a process of constructive service"
 Those Of it's members having ex- hibits at the Birmingham Manufac- turers' Show have invested in this state used in developing the states resources an investment of 80, gar, 900, and in 1920 had a payroll of s. 045,5o0. employing in excess of 1000 people.
 He stressed the point of keeping the dollar at home; that as long as a dollar bill is circulated around here it is worth a dollar to the commu- nifty; when sent away it begins to enrich other people in other places. It seldom ever returns. He advo- cated strongly keeping the dollar at home as long as possible, as others effort to hand dollars to us. He con graduated the Women's League of Voters upon the success of such a creditable show, expressing his ap- preciation for the cooperative spirit shown on the part of that organiza- ton to the manufacturing interests of Birmingham in bringing to the attention of the consumer, the house. wife, that which Birmingham pro- duced. and which was equal to in quality of what is produced in other states. and only through their CO., operation in capitalizing the con- sumer purchasing boyer in the inter est of Birminghan manufactured products could the pay rolls of the manufacturers be kept to a maxi mum, and when so kept all commer- cial interests of Birmingham were benefited.

CITY MUST BEAR SHARE OF COST OF
 ROADS IN LIMITS
Board of Revenue Stands Pat on 65-35 Proposition for Road Construction No
 Bond Sale

The board of revenue decided yes terday not to pay all the cost of any new roads within the city limits. The city must contribute 35 per cent of the cost of such roads, or none will be built, so far as the majority of the board of revenue is concerned.
 This decision to- stand pat on a 65-55 ratio with the city came after a delegation from Pratt City had urged the board to modify it's plan and pay all the cost of a road to Pratt City.
 There are 16 miles of roads in five projects in which the county in it's tentative program expects the city to assume 35 per cent of the cost. They include the South Bessemer connection, Pratt City Adamsville road, Mt. Pinson road, Woodlawn to Gate City and thence to Irondale and road from Fairfield to Fairview.
 No Agreement With City
 Chairman D. c. Ball said that sev- eral attempts had been made with no success to. come to an agreement with the city on the projects.
 Jere Gwin moved that the county cut out the construction of a s125,000 road from the Montgomery highway to the Bluff Park hotel and instead place a 20-foot strip of paving on the five projects at total cost of 3500,000. He was seconded by Lacey Edmundson, but the motion was vot- ed down by the other three members.
 rl, sx Il had d voted to advertise the sale of $3,000,- 900 worth of bonds on March 2S. However, the board, after more than an hours discussion, reconsidered the motion, and on motion by Jere Gwin, and seconded by Chairman Ball, de- oided not to advertise the sale of any bonds for road work until some agreement has been reached with the city for the joint construction of roads within the city. The Is miles of highway in the city will cost s40o,- GOO, it is estimated, and the county agrees to furnish s250,000.
 No Money for Work
 The city takes the position, 1t IS said, that it has not the money for the work and that the roads under consideration run through parts oi the city where the property owners are unable to bear the cost.
 The board voted to cut from its tentative program the grading and cherting of road from Robbins to Partridges Crossroad and substitute irstead a graded road from Robbins along the mountain road to Cosrer schoolhouse. A delegation from this co immunity advocated the change or the grounds that it would better serve the school and enable truck CTS to reach Birmingham.

National canned goods week be-
 gins today.
 All over the country. Birmingham
 included. there Is a special display of
 canned goods in the windows of the |, retail handlers and special prices are being made from March to 5. 4 The event is staged in a broad way Toy the National Gamers association
 with tho cooperation in the various cities of the wholesalers and tobbers,
 who. in turn. have enlisted the re- taflersrt in thesevent.
 Birmingham is one of tho largest 1pmarke4s foe canned goods in the jcountry. Outside of Louisville and lNew Orleans. it is the largest canned {oniy sells locally. but it jobs the products over a large territory, ex- tensive stocks being carried in Bir-
 mingham warehouses for adjacent state distribution.
 Birmingham draws it's canned
 goods from all over the country They come from Maine to California. For several months large supplies
 have come to Birmingham from the
 1aCiIiC sodSt Wa StSdIueIS entering
 port of Mobile and conveyed thence
 up the Warrior river in barges.
 Freight rate up the Warrior to
 Alabama points and as far as Colum-
 bus, Chattanooga and Atlanta in ad-
 joining states is 20 per cent under , the afl-rail rate, hence all this sec- ton gets canned goods from Pacific coast via Mobile, the Warrior and connecting rail lines at this reduced freight
 The rate from Atlantic seaboard via the Mallory line and Warrior is i.also 90 per cent under the all-rail krate to Birmingham.
 Distributing Advantages Birmingham's distributing advan- ] tages have added to it's canned goods trade in adjacent states more than ever since higher freight rates have pointed out economy of purchasing linear home.
 The canned goods business is one of the largest in the country. From a bulletin issued by the federal gov crnment following data as to produce tioa of canned goods in the country are taken:
 Vegetables, 1,4oo, 900, 900 cans, valued at s164,000,000; fruits. 634,00o,- GOO cans, valued at s14S,00 900; fish and oysters. 35S.o00,oo0 cans. valued 1 at s96,oo0, ,00o; milk, over 1 GOO oo0, 900
 Total number of cans is approxi- mately 4,o00, 900 900, and total value of E same is sSS7, 100000.
 It Is estimated that at least from < s200, 900 .0oe to s25o, 100000 was paid ' to farmers of the country by the
 canners for the raw material in 1919, for which year the data is given.
