Seuen Liues Lost
 When Laden Ship
 Sinks Of Altoona
By Associated Press

Portland, Ore, May 29.--Collision of the steamers Welsh Prince and Iowan last night in the Columbia river off Altoona. Wash, in which the Welsh Prince was sunk and sew en members of her crew lost their lives. was caused. according to ma rine men, who made unofficial in- vestigation by the swift current of the river driving the vessels to- gether.
 The Welsh Prince, which sank within a few minutes after the bow of the 1owan had torn huge gap in her forward compartment. was on route from Portland with steel and lumber for Japan, while the Iowan was proceeding to this city. The river makes a sharp turn where the crash occurred and the two steam CTS. it is believed, were caught In the swift current. They struck almost bow-on
 The sharp prov of the Iowan cut a gash in the starboard bow of the Welsh Prince about five feet deep, killing and injuring men asleep in the forecastie. The bodies were so entangled in the mass of twisted steel and iron that 1t was necessary to send workmen with gas torches to cut away the wreckage.
 The cargo of steel which filled the hold of the Welsh Prince caused her to sink almost at once.
 The injured men say that a donkey man, eight seamcn, f2 firemen and two oilers were in the forecastle of the Welsh Prince.

 Now, If the citizenry of dear old Birmingham are looking for some thing to dc that Is really worth while. let them turn their attention to the juries trying these appeal cases. Lex the law-abiding citizen who believes in law enforcement serve as jurors instead of begging off. and help us suppress some of this crime. Jury duty does not seem to attract the attention of some of ,z5irmingham's most severe critics.

to officials In Birmingham being criminals and lawbreakers
 T think. as general rule, our officials will compare favorably with those of other cities; many of them 1 have the very highest regard for in fact, my sermon was a plea for cooperation with officials in enforc- ing the laws. I referred to lawless- ness fl. Birmingham as symptomatic of conditions existing elsewhere.
 T did refer to one person who is not now an official. but once was, and while I did not call him by name or otherwise impersonate him, l did state that I had the best of evidence for believing that he was himself a law breaker. And I did make a general statement relative 70 all such officials, whether in Blr- mingham or elsewhere. I am sure that those who heard me and those who read this statement will agree with me in the general idea I sd- vanced.
 My plea is for all right thinking citizens to unite their efforts in the creation of public opinion and sea timent that will help in the enforc- ing of our laws and in the making of Birmingham the best possible city in which to live. I should regret very much to be classed among the mud singers. If you will kindly publish this, shall greatly appreci- ate it."

 A technicality arose today when it was revealed that Mrs. Edith Rocke- feller Mccormick, who divorced MT. Mccormick several months ago, was not given what she regarded as proper legal notice. According to the law, 1t was said both parents must be served with notice of the petition for guardianship.
 This was brought to the atten- tion of Probate Judge Henry Homer by counsel for Mrs. Mccormick late today. Charles $. Cutting, counsel for Mrs Mccormick, notified Judge Horner that his client had not been notified of the action and requested that she be givel. proper notice.
 Mrs. Mccormick .as served with the notice on Saturday. according to MT Cutting, so that the three days notice required by the rules of the court will not Dc had until Wednes- day. When MT. Cutting was asked if Mrs. Mccormick would contest the appointment of her former husband as Mathilde's guardian. he said that he did not know He said Mrs. Me Cormick had not made up her mind. Mrs. McCor mick refused herself 10 all lnquirers
 No order Entered
 "No order of record has been en- tered in the probate court" Mir. Cut ting said, and Mr. Mccormick is not the legal guardian of Mathilde. When 1 informed Judge Horner that my client had not been given notice he stopped the order and it never was entered. though the attempt was made"
 Mrs. Mccormick has been given proper notice" Judge Horner saio, and Wednesday morning we shall see whether or no. she objects to the appointment of Mir. Mccormick as Mathilde's guardian. Should she ob- ject will set the matter for hearing at some future date.'
 While Mr.. McCormick's consent was given six weeks ago to the mar riaEe of Mathilde and Oser. heehas been opposed by Muriel Mccormick, Mathilde's elder sister, and by Har- old F. Mccormick, J.'., her brother. Mrs. Mccormick. according to friends Of the family@ has been unalterably opposed and still is opposed to the marriage, and it was said that her opposition caused her father, Mir. Rockefeller, to withhold his consent to the union. However, she has made no public utterance on the subject.

BOOKKEEPING MUST BE
TAUGHT IN ALL SCHOOLS.

Chapter 46 of the Laws of 1922
makes it mandatory upon the State
Board of Education to prescribe a uni
form and simple system of book-keep-
ing for use in all school districts, and
compel all school districts to use the
anne.
Bookkeeping is a subject that will
become useful to practically every
student upon completing their school
ing and entering the active business
life of the community. 1t is a subject
which will prove of inestimable value
in any vocation, and will undoubtedly
shortly be established in the schools.
From the very language of the Act
it is the evident intention OF the law
to have this part of the curriculum
taught by the regular teachers in addi-
lion to their usual subjects, for it pro
vides a simple course and that it shall
be taught in all the schools.
