IN HOTEL LOBBIES
AND ELSEWHERE
BUM STATES POSITION

Speaking of the removal of the sales offices
of firms with factories in Birmingham, would
like my position in the matter clearly under
stood" said o. l.. Bum, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce.
"f do not, of course, have any spirit of hos
tility or antagonism toward these concerns
and my efforts have been designed to be pure
ly arbitrative. While | do think that the peo-
pie of Birmingham ought to protest, and pro-
test vigorously, against the movement that
seems to be going on of transferring sales Of
fices from Birmingham to Atlanta, it is pri-
marily in the promotion of better spirit be-
tween these corporations and the general pub
lie in Birmingham that 1 am concerned
81 believe that one of the biggest factors in
preventing an understanding between the peo-
pie and the corporations here is the practice
which the corporations have of seeming to get
what they out of Birmingham and then
placing the revenue-bringing departments of
their businesses in other cities. They have
their factories here, the people say, because
they have to, and then they place their sales
offices, which bring in the money, elsewhere.
at is not the magnitude of any particular
move of this kind which gives us any concern.
The advantage to Birmingham financially is
really negligible, for, of course, the money
that comes in is soon sent eastward. There is
a slight advantage in the way of rents, retail
sales and some initiation of bank cearings, but
that is negligible. The principal thing is the
moral effect on the people as a whole, and l
think that something ought to be done about
these changes There have been two or three
of them within the past MONTH"

sHEBoYcANs GORGEOUS NIGHT

From the Sheboygan (Wis.) Press Telegram.
"Musically and socially the chief event Of
the sason will be the concert to be given by
Madame Rosemary Rose, dramatic soprano
Thursday evening. Society is to blossom forth
to greet the world famous prima donna, and
those who know declare that the Sheboygan
Opera House will present a brilliant picture
when the city's own diva appears. Rich furs,
striking brocades, in contrast to cleaning
shoulders, the opalescence of sequins, glitter
ing crystal beads nesting in the soft folds
of meteor silks, rare jewels, will mingle in
colorful riot as Sheboygan's society assemblies
for the big event."

FOREST RESERVATION
Aurora Beacon-News.

From the Aurora Beacon-News.
Benedictine monks for 910 years have been
cultivating one of the worlds finest forests.
1t surrounds an ancient hermitage, about SO
miles southeast of Florence, Italy. report
in an American forestry magazine says that
this forest is as fine as it was nearly 1000
years ago, though lumber has been taken out
of it in great quantities. The monks plant
new trees as fast as they cut down old ones.
Our forests are rapidly disappearing. Unless
we want treeless America we, too, will have
to plant a tree for each one logged. Forest
destruction is our greatest waste.

DISGUSTING EXHIBITION BY
NEW YORK FANS

An Illuminating example Of baseball manners
was given in New York when Thursdays game
was declared tie in the tenth inning. Angry
fans hurled abuse at Judge Lands, baseball
arbitrator, who was seated with Mrs. Lands
, IN box at the Polo grounds, and then fol-
bowed them out of the grounds. For time
It looked as if the judge and his wife were in
danger Of physical violence, but he scorned
police protection Baseball writer's, umpires
and other officials came in for TRADES from
the crowd who wanted the game to go on until
one side or the other was defeated.
Possibly no harm would have been done to
anybody, least of all Judge Lands and Mrs.
Lands, but the experience to which they were
subjected was as vicious and brutal as It was
uncaIled for. Foreign notables who were
among the spectators must have had their i'm
preston strengthened that America is ma
tion Of barbarians. Although the baseball of
ficials decided to give the entire gate receipts
to charity, such behavior would not have been
justified, even if they had not done SO.
Baseball would not be the popular sport it
is if the fans didn't feel that they could give
free vent to their joy or anger, but there
should be limit to such outbursts. Reviling
players and umpires from a safe place in a
craftsmanship. The type of fan who does that
knows he runs little risk Of being called to
account by those he insults.

Anything ese?" asked the fair but naughty

"You've got all the speed you need, and

And brooks steal down through grasses

EASY MATTER TO BUY
AN ARSENAL"

Birmingham detectives found 80 pistols,
man who claimed to be pawnbroker from a
neighboring city. He said he had bought the
weapons from Birmingham pawnshops and was
going to use them to stock his own pawnshop.
Racial feeling has been aroused by criminals
in the city where he said he was in business.
Possibly this man anticipated brisk demand
for firearms and was getting ready to meet it.
The possessor Of these 80 pistols convinced
the detectives that he was what he claimed to
be, but anybody else with money to pay for
them could have accumulated that many fire
arms by doing little shopping. Speaking be-
fore the, international police conference In
New York, Chief Magistrate William Nc
Adoo said 'there are more persons carrying
pistols in New York and Chicago than in the
whole of Europe, and it is in dealing with
the free sale and use Of firearms that the po-
lice find their greatest problem"
These conditions on a lesser scale are dupl-
Gated in every other large city in America.
The pistol-carrying habit is chiefly responsible
for the appalling murder record of this country.
Many suggestions have been made for control
ling the sale and use Of firearms by law, but
no law would stop criminals from buying and
carrying pistols.
Strict regulation would prevent the indis-
criminate sale Of pistols, but there is appar-

young woman home from the Y. NJ.

Whether. in SO doing, he chanced
upon knowledge of the crime. either
in passing the scene Of the murder or
elsewhere. was not learned.
Timothy N. Pfeiffer, counsel for
Mrs. Hall, said the maid denied that
Mrs. Hall had told her Of the minis
ter's death before the finding Of the
bodies was announced. 1t has been
reported that Mrs. Hall asked her
maid to wash some white socks an
hour before the murders became
known, saying Mr.. Hall is dead, and

the grand jury with evidence. on
which he is confident the grand jury
will indict. Two of his witnesses. it
was asserted. were eye-witnesses Of
the double Staying. which occurred
on the old Phillips farm. near New
Brunswick. on the night of Septem-

They are members OF the Church
Of st. John the Evangelist. of which
Mr.. Hall was pastor and Mrs. Mills
choir leader. One Is a man and the
other woman.
They concealed their knowledge Of
the crime as long as possible, 1t was
said. because they did not wish to
disclose their presence together at
night on the Phillips farm, a favorite
trysting place for New Brunswick
couples.
Barbara Tough's story. 1t was
learned, was much at variance with
information received from other
sources.
One thing she told the authorities, 1t
was said. was that at the time Mrs,
Hall was married to the minister, ten
years ago. there was a "slip-up" in plans
which called for Henry Stevens, Mrs.
Halls brother, to give her away. She
said she did not know why Stevens
failed to appear but she knew Mr. Halls
mother had done the giving in marriage.

until the war that universities wer..
