Came
Without Warning

Jerusalem, July 18.-The Trans
jordania country has been invanded
by Ibn Saoud, Sultan of Nejd, and
leader Of the most powerful Wahabi
tribe. Saoud has declared hostilities
against Abdullah Emir of Transjor-
dania, and at the head of 10000 we'll
armed Arabs he is within four-hours
march of Amman, the capital of
Transjordania, which is about so
miles east of Jerusalem.
This invasion came without any
warning the latter part OF May, and
it has added materially to the turbu-
lcnce of Anglo French relations in
this part of the world. 1t has
brought to light what is alleged to
be secret treaty concluded some
three months ago between Sroud an
representatives of the French Repub
lie.
Emir Abdullah realized at once tha
seriousness of this move by the Wah
abs, whose home territory is in the
central part of the Arabian peninsula
and did two things; sent a delegation
to Saoud to negotiate peace, and in
formed the Palestin government ol
the true state of affairs. Mr.. Thylby
British representative in Amman
and General Ghalib Pacha, compos
ing the delegation to the Wahabi"
were seized by Saoud's followers ant
released only after very strong repre-
sentations to the Wahabis from Sil
Wyndham Deeds, the British actint
High Commissioner in Palestine
Saoud is still encamped within |
short distance of Amman.
The alleged secret treaty witt
France is said to have been negotiat
ed by Wahabi named Mohamme,
Pacha ell Osseimi. 1t involves mill
tary and political relations and is
aimed against Great Britain and hel
proteges, King Hussein of Hedjaz
King Feisud Of Mespotamia and Emil
Abdullah of Transjordania. It's
clauses have been published here
They set forth, among other things
that the French government recog
nizes the sovereignty of Ibn Saoud
engages to supply him with money
arms and ammunities and to suppol
him if he is attacked by the govern
ments Of Hedjaz, Mespotamia ol
Transjordania. In return Saoud en-
cages to counteract any tendency to-
ward the formation of an Arab con
federation in the Arabian peninsuls
under the guidance of Great Britain
and to help with troops, in case
French soldiers in Syria are attacked
by troops or irregular bands from
Mespotamia or Transjordania.
1t will be recalled that Ibn Saout
last year declared war against Hus,
sein, father of Emir Abdullah, anC
probably would have captured Mecca
had it not been fo rthe timely inter
vention of Great Britain.

BIRMINGHAM PAYS FITTING TRIBUTE ID
 CR|MEAN HEROINE
Hospitals Observe Memorial Exercises For Florence Nightingale, Mother of
 Modern Nursing

Tn commemoration Of the birth Of Florence Nightingale. the mother Of modern nursing and one of the most ardent lovers of animals and nature in the history of the human raco, Birmin gham hospitals yesterday ob- served National Hospital Day.
 From her first living patient which was shepherds dog, which she tended carefully in child hood, Florence Nightingale passed to human beings in womanhood. and wherever there was sorrow and suf- fering, in England or on the con tinent she was to be found. render ing never-to- be forgotten service during the Crimean war.
 Although Florence Nightingale died in 1910, her love for mankind and devotion to the sick and unfor- tunate will ever remain bright and spotless in the chronicle of time.
 The movement to observe National Hospital Day is universal and hospi- tals and infirmaries over the entire country and major portion of the English-speaking world held special services yesterday afternoon between the hours of to o'clock. The birthday of Florence Nightingale Is chronicled as May Is, 1920. This slight incongruity, as yesterday was May 12. however. was not noted on local programs.
 '.0pen house" was observed at the Hillman. South Highlands. Norwood, and Fraternal hospitals, and several hundred interested persons made tours of inspection of the hospitals. These were given opportunity to familiarize themselves with the working plans of the hospitals.
 In Woodlawn a demonstration in infant care was given to persons who visited the Woodlawn infirmary at o'clock. Owing to remodeling of the buildings at St. vincent's hospital, no program was carried out

Takes Under Aduisement Case of City Seeking To
 Reduce Traction Rates

fare but had never approved the S. cent fare now fin force
 The mere fact of the street railway going into receivership should not in any way prejudice the rights of the city. Mir Johnston affirmed. He said that the American Cities company. which owns majority stock of the E. R., l.. and r. company brought the action for the receivership. The de- fendant, he added. is attempting to protect itself by virtue of the receiv- ership when the traction company and the American Cities company control the time when the receiver ship shall be suspended.
 In concluding MT Johnston affirm ed that receivership Is chiefly an internal convenience for the com rany and that 1t should either yield to a 5-cent fare or give up it's right to operate on the streets.
 Attorney Francis Brown made a short statement for the railway com pany in which he questioned the right of chancery court to take any action on a matter in which court of like jurisdiction had already ruled He stated that the public service commission permitted the fare in crease and that the federal court on July 30, 1921, ordered the new rate to go into effect.
 1 He declared that the company did not contend that 1t had complied with it's charter in putting into effect 5-cent fare. The proper recourse for the city. he thought, was in an ap- i aeal from the federal court decree. | City Attorney Wynn read from 1 several court decisions. one being that of the city of Montgomery gainst taxlcab company in which the supreme court held that city i may hold a public utility company tc the terms of its franchise agreement
 Yesterdays hearing presaged a long legal battle which may eventu- ally lead to the supreme court or back again to the United States fed

Judge Hugh A. Locke yesterday took under advisement the case Of the city of Birming ham against the Birmingham Railway Light and Power company in which the city seeks to prevent the traction com rany from charging more than a g. cent fare. 70 decision will be made tor week m order to give attorneys time to suDmit briefs and cite auth critics in the case.
 First slirmishes in the case yester- day hinged around the point as to whether chancery court has jurisdic- tion over the utility company now operating under a receiver appointed by the federal court which also authorized the Scent fare. Judge Locke's decision will settle that point and indicate the next angle the case will take.
 At the preliminary hearing yester- day Forney Johnston and City At torney W. J. Wynn represented the city while Francis Brown and Lee C.. Bradley were the attorneys for the traction company.
 MT. Johnston in explaining the at titude of the city contended that the B. R., l.. and P company should either observe the scent fare clause of the contract or abandon other rights granted in the franchise winch include the privilege of oper- ating on the streets.
 He cited laws to show that when a receiver for a company Is appointed, he becomes subject to all acts and charters of the company and must operate In accord with the laws of the states. In the case of the B. R., l.. & F. Co.,, he held that the receiver should comply with the contract agreement with the city.
 MT. Johnston did not doubt the authority of the public service rom- mission to grant an increase in street car fares but he contended that this permission must be concurred in by the interested city. He said thai Rirrni ing ham had agreed to q 6-cent
