CL0E WILL HANDLE THE BOOMING HOUSE
 SITUATION HIMSELF

orders stopping issuance of hotel and rooming house licenses without permits from him were directed to the comptrollers department by Commissioner w. B. Cloe Tuesday. The action came after complaints had been made by police officers that rooming houses whose licenses had recently been revoked were still in operation, under licenses issued to other parties.
 City Attorney ". J. wynn cited an ordinance of October 4, 1918, giving head of the public safety depart ment authority to issue permits for operation of all rooming places. The ordinance provided that such places would be subject to punishment IT they operated without that permit. even though they had-Ubtained regu- lar license. A fee of s1 was provided for such permit.
 While the ordinance has not been enforced for some time, Commis- sioner Cloe said that it was his in tention to apply it strictly and that 1t would be used as an instrument for cleaning up undesirable or ques- tionable places.
 That gives me all the authority require" said Cloe, after he had charged the commission earlier in the day with failure to cooperate with him, q can handle the situation my self now as I see fit" He said that the ordinance carried over Tuesday providing for revocation of licenses of all places doing illegimate busi- ness under color of license would still be voted on, and he predicted that 1t would pass.

INCREASE PAY ROLL TOPREVENT STRIKE.
 CL0E TELLS BOARD

Wholesale defections from the po- lice and fire department personnel or a strike of the men are possibilities facing the city unless provision is made immediately for increases in salaries, Public Safety Commissioner W. B. Cloe told the commission at it's meeting Tuesday.
 Cloe was aroused when H. K. Mil- ner asked the commission to author ize survey of road through Red Mountain park, to connect up the new golf course of the Birmingham Countryeclub with the water works road The survey was authorized after MT. Milner said he would pay half the cost and that the club wouli probably pay the rest. Cloe suggest ed that the club pay the entire amount before Mr. fMilner made his proposal.
 'I will not vote for another cent appropriation until the men of my department are cared for" declared Commissioner Cloe. Under an agree ment with the former city commis- sion with the men, increase of sa1- aries of members of the police and fire departments s5 per year until SIPS Is reached.
 T have been going s1,500 per month over my budget and will con- tinue to do so until some provision -4s made for fulfilling promises to my men. They are entitled to the raise, and unless they get 1t there will be & strike or we will lose half of them. l will not lay off men and will not cut salaries"

LEIBER REACHES
 PINNACLE OF HIS
 ART IN MACBETH

Fritz Leiber repeated at the Jeff ferson theatre last night his lm- pressive performance of "Maebeth, which he has given in Birnlingham on previous occasions. His fmperson- ation of this tragic role is character ized by great virility and imaginative power. The soul of Macbeth, tern by ambition and remorse, is laid bare In a series of vivid, realistic scenes in which Mir Leiber reaches the pinnacle of his art Seldom have the immortal lines known to every lover of Shake- speare been delivered with better effect.
 Miss oliver,s Lady Macbeth was fitting counterpart to her gloomy lord, scheming woman, whose de- sire for lofty station and lack Of principle was even greater than Mac beth, vet, woman-like, she was the first to break under the strain of crime imposed on crime. Both MT. Leiber and Miss Oliver deserve com mendation for a presentation of the plays principal parts which left lit- tie or no room for adverse criticism.
 The members of the company gave unusually good support. Philip D.. Quin as Duncan. Harold Winston as Malcolm, John Burke as Banquo and Louis Leon Hall as Macduff were well cast.
 Mir. Hall, in particular, was a fine and manly McDuff. Most of the lesser parts were capably acted and the ad- mirable manner in which the play was staged should not be overlooked. In every respect the performance was in keeping with the best traditions of the classic drama and the novel; ties in stageeraft rather enhanced than detracted from it's effectiveness.
 At the matinee this afternoon MT. Leiber and his company will present Romeo and Juliet" always one of the most popular of the Shakespear can drmsnas, in which the star has won conspicuous success. Tonight The Tanning of the shrew" will be given second time during this en- gagement

ENGLAND NUT YET READY ,TO SC R AP
 BALF OU R'S N0TE
Collapse of Allied Farley More Complete Than at First h. diCated-Last Ray of
 Hope Gone
By Associated Press

LONDON, Dec. 12.-The collapse of the allied premiers' negotiations here, 1t is becoming evident, was even more complete than at first supposed, since the one outstanding development which had been seized on by the op- timists, namely, the scrapping of the Balfour note by Great Britain, is now said to have been ploclaimed prema- turely.
 Prime Minister Bonar Law admit ted as much in the House of Com mons this afternoon, and from other on the part of the continental press to consider Lord Ba1four's utterance as a thing of the past Is unwar- ranted.
 It is stated that Bonar Law, in talking with the other allied premiers, only indicated that Lord Balfours s principle (refusal to consider any re- mission of the war debts) could be superseded as Great Britain's contri- button to a general European settle ment of the war debts and repara- tions questions, but with a definite gain for Britain in view and not be- cause she wished to be generous.

has not heen able to render a report on an imporant matter in the con nection with the investigation and that there is not now pending any petition or citation involving the rate of the Alabama Power company he is made to inquire why the associate members of the pupnc service com mission desire at this time to rem der a decision establishing tenta- tive valuation of the property of the Alabama Power company.
 Valuation stands Forever
 "The answer is this: The associate commissioners will be retired from office by vtte of the people at the end ofN 30 days from December lb. They have already announced that they propose 10 decide this matter and any matters before the end or their terms. The valuation of the Ala bama Power company which will stand forever, under the law of Ala hama, can IA be established finally during their terms unless tentative decision is rendered on or before De cember 16. The associate commission CTS propose to render this decision establishing this tentative valuation on or before that date despite the fact that all the information which the law says the commission shall consider cannot be obtained by that date.
 Tt is the plan of the associate commissioners, as given to me by Commissioner Cooper, to establish a tentative valuation December 16 in order that any rehearing or any pro test of the Alabama Power company may be had by the present eommis- sion and final valuation established, thus preventing any future commits sion from taking up the valuation and thus establishing the valuation by the associate emmissioners for all time.-
 T furnish the information to the people of Alabama, not with any de- sire to take issue with the associate commissioners but with desire to give to those who htnored me with Sthe position of president of the Ala bama public service commission all the light possible on a subject which will Involve them from the moment the commission renders it's decision.

Ia large record purporting to show this information The engineer and accountant were not present and the company agreed to return to Mont somery with the record.
 The book was produced again to- day, bu9 the company declined to leave it here as the accountant of the commission was not able to make the examination When the accountant asked representatives of the company to leave the records here for exam
 ination they replied that the book must be returned to the co1npany's office, It is supposed that it was carried back to the office Tuesday afternoon
 T immediately ordered Mir. Aid ridge to go to Birmingham for the purpose of making an examination of this record and he will be in the office of the Alabama Power com pany Wednesday morning.
 Request Ignored
 'In addition to this failure of the company to produce the record called for by the commissions accountant, it requested other information in q letter dated July 25. No response was made and the request was re- peated October 30 by the commis- slon's accountant. MT. W. l.. Martin, general counsel for the company, de- livered to the commission today q statement purporting to cover the in- formation requested. The commits sion's accoupntant has not had tho time to inspect it or to make a re- port to the commission. Although this information is pertinent to the investigation. the associate commis sioners propose to render a decision festablishing a tentative valuation without investigating 1t.
 MT. AIdridge advises me that
 within ten days he can make an in-
 spection of the records of the Ala
 bama Power company touching the
 original cost of the property and
 can make an examination of the
 statement filed with the commission
 today in response to it's two requests.
 "In addition to these facts, which
 call for a short delay in the estab
 lishment of a tentative valuation, the
 attorney general of Alabama who
 is by law tho attorney or legal ad
 wiser of the commission, has before him for inspection a brief covering 157 typewriter pages prepared by attorneys for the Alabama Power company in support of it's contention. This brief was filed with the com
 mission early in November and was immediately sent to the attorney general with the request that he advise the commission regarding the
 various points involved. The attorney general has not been able up to this time to make a report of his inspec- tion of this brief.
 Pattersonsssr Theory of Purpose "When one understands that the Alabama Power company until to- day had failed to produce the records
 requested by the commission and the
 accountant has gone to Birmingham ham for the purpose of making an inspection of the records which the
 law says the commission shall con-
 slider in establishing valuation.

and disputes over reparaticns and war debts.
 The pessimists believe that such stabilization of Europe's economic life would not be realized through Britafn's cancellation of the debts due her if at the same time the French were permitted to carry out coercive measures to obtain their indemnity from Germany.
 According to the official view, the British are willing to make great sac- rifices, but the other allies must also sacrifice some of their interests.
 Unless Great Britain sees an ultI- mate gain through the policy of can cellation, it Is stated, the government could not carry out such a program, for the British taxpayers would rebel at having to shoulder the debts with out benefit.

U. s. NOT APPROACHED
 Bf EUROPEAN POWERS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1e.-The United States has not been approached, di- rectly or indirectly, in regard either to cancellation of the French war debt or American participation with allied premiers in the discussion of German reparations. according to an authorized statement today at the state department.
 No other comment was forthcom- ing on press advices from London telling of the British intention to sound out the Washington govern ment with relation to French debt cancellation as a possible means for solving the conflict of views among the, premiers which caused postpone ment of the council meeting.
 Earlier In the day the statement was authorized by the White House that the reparation tangle was viewed as one of the most acute" European difficulties.
 Not Unconcerned
 It was added that the Washington administration had not lacked an tn- innate picture of the situation abroad nor been unconcerned or inactive with relation to problems pressing for solution in the interest of world sta bility. It was not indicated, however. that the activities referred to bore directly or indirectly on the immedi- ate situation In London.
 Pending some further light as to the exact nature of proposals said to be coming to Washington from Lon don in regard to cancellation of the French debt to Great Britain and the United States, the most official ex- pression of American views in that regard indicates that the Washington government looks on the allied debt matter as now in the hands of Con- gress and outside the field of dipIo- matic agreements. Creation of the debt refunding commission is known to be viewed by high administration officials as having had that effect.

FARMS MUST PROSPER
 OR AMERICA SUFFERS,
 CONVENTION IS TOLD.
Bv Associafed Press

CHICAGO, Dec. 12.-The wellbelng of American agriculture is essential to the progress of the entire nation and no agricultural policy for Amer ica is sound unless agriculture IS It's cornerstone. former Governor Frank o. Lowden of Illinois declared to- night in an address before the fourth annual convention of the American Farm Bureau federation.
 The agricultural problem, he de- clared. is not class problem because it involves the very existence of American institutions. Unless agri- culture prospers the nation does not prosper, he said.
 At no time has the disparity be- tween the value of farm crops and other commodities been so great as during the last three years, he said; adding that farm prices were the first to go down and have been below the level of other commodities ever since. During 1920, he said, quoting govern ment figures. the price of farm pro- ducts at the farm was but nine per cent above the price in 1913, while the farmer was paying about 50 per cent more than in 1913 for what he had to buy. This year, he said, the purchasing power of the farmer Is about 77 per cent of what it was in 1913. an increase from 61 per cent over last year.
