To Be Or Not To Be
AT Genoa

4 writer in the New York Herald
reports that IAN honest difference of
opinion" in the administration is de-
laying decision in the matter of Amer
lean participation in the economic
conference AT Genoa. To some extent
the press reflects this divided opinion,
but for the most part popular sellti-
ment is strongly insstent upon our
going in. What the final decision will
be us the biggest question now be-
fore us" the Charleston IS. c. News
and Courier (Dcm.) thinks, because
the Genoa meeting is An effort "to lay
the foundation for the reconstruction
of Europe" and SO long as the Unit
ed States holds back "the whole plan

Republican (Ind.) agrees "the fate
Of the conference undoubtedly rests
with the United States. If this coun-
try is either hostile to it or merely
lukewarm and dilatory, it is doubtful
whether it will be held" and the Rich
mond News Leader tDem.) believes
that without American participation
it is almost certain TO fail" if it is
held.

Every American farmer who wants

In recent address on the coming
meeting, Lloyd George made an ap-
peal "to all rulers of men who have

from "the fundamental humanities in
volved," the Lynchburg (Va.l News
(Dem.) is convinced that "good sense
and sound judgment and a proper re-
gard for it's own welfare" demands
that the United States take part.

the Florida Metropolis Jacksonville,

we nothing to lose by participating"
but, as the Oklahoma City Oklahoman
(Den.) points out, We have every
thing TO gain since:
with America in the position OF
creditor of a great part Of the world
she is particularly interested in the
solvency Of the world. She is vitality
concerned with the problem of restor-
ing the economic stability of all war
stricken nations. At conference
where these things arc to be discussed
and measures taken to solve them, it
IS important that the United States
be represented"
However, while "ajl are agreed as
the Tacoma Ledger UndD observes,
that the objects sought in the sug-
gestei conference are not only desir-
able but absolutely essential" so far
IS Europe in concerned, the Manches-
ter Union (Ind. Rep.) wants "to be
shown where our country fits into this
thing" "If it were solely question
Of meeting TO discuss plans for the
'c0ncmic rebuilding Of Europe" the
New York Times Und. Dem.) would

generally regarded as being close to
the administration, explains the pres

"by the lack Of any assurance that
certain European nations will coop

they have failed or refused to coop

doubt as to how the United States can
be OF service in n general economic
conference if its good Offices are un-

ALLEGED CHECK
 ARTIST ARRESTED
w. M. Blackburn, IT,, Is Taken Into Custody at TutWiIer by
 City Detectives

W. Nj. Blackburn, Jro alias, H. P Davis. alias J. T. Rainey and alias D. D. Duke, Is in the city Jail under a charge Of issuing bogus checks with intent to defraud.
 According to Detectives Walton and Propst. who took Blackburn into custody at the Tutwiler hotel his mode of operation was to write and mail letters to himself purporting to come from the William Evans Grain company of Indianapolis, Ind, and enclosing checks for his salary and expenses. These checks Black burn would attempt to get cashed by the hotel at which he was regis tered. showing the cashier the ac. companying letter, an officer claims. Investigation showed that mall ad- dressed to Blackburn had been de- livered to three different hotels in the city under his different aliases. and that no such company as the William H. Evans Grain company of Indianapolis, existed.
 Blackburn had already started op- erations in the city. obtaining a watch. chain and s4.O0 in cash from I. R. Rubenstein. Third avenue jewell CT who accepted bogus check ten dered by him in payment and giving him the difference in cash, while Q hotel was at the point of cashing am other check following Blackburn's story that it was a salary check, said Detective Walton, when the arrest was made.
 Letters written and mailed ahead to Decatur, have been located, state the detectives, and lead us to believe that the man has been working the same game in other cities before he reached Birmingham"
 Blackburn, who looks to be about 24 or 25 years of age refused to talk other than to say that his home was in Nashville, Tenn.

 George Peterson age 2t. of the itinerant clan. was apprehended by deputies at the gypsy camp at Iron dale, where he was found with his alleged common law wife. Minnie Stanley IA, of another clan. and H. T. Davenport, alias Mary Peterson, mother of George, together with her husband, considered the brains" of the clique, were encamped All were held on warrants issued from a jus tice's court in Delaware, Pa.

 Minnie Stanley, the woman in the case,' is held on warrants sworn out by her brother because she left home with the family exchequer amount ing to $2,030. This is a technical move. it is said, to get her back again among her people.

SEEK INJUNCTION
 |NMER|D|AN CASE
Bum, Wilkinson and Porter to Confer With State
 Officials

With view of having state of Ala bama apply for injunction prevent ing application of the new intrastate rate base ordered by the interstate commerce commission in it's sixth de- cision in the Meridian rate case, a Chamber of Commerce and Traffic bureau delegation went to Montgom- cry yesterday afternoon for confer ence with state authorities.
 The delegation is composed of o. L. Bum. manager of the chamber and traffic bureau; E. Wilkinson, pres ident of the bureau, and R. A. Porter, president of the Chamber of Com merce.
 These gentlemen will confer with the state public service commission, tho governor and the attorney gen. eral They take the view that it were better to seek injunction in name of the state than in that of the Birming1 ham Traffic bureau on account of the greater prestige of the state as rep resentative of all shippers. Decision in the Meridian case, seY- eral times rendered, is that intra- state raes from poiat to point in Alabama within 200 miles from Merid- ian must not be less than rates from Meridian to points in that territory. The Alabama 1ntrastate rates are lower. It is presumed that the usual course in equalizing them would be l taken: the Alabama rates, would be raised to parity with the Meridian rates This would deny and nullify the Alabama intrastate rate system in this territory and, say traffic ex- perts, would pave the way for the final elimination of the intrastate rate fabric.
 New rates were ordered to be pub lished by February 27. Southern and other roads affected have asked q postponement of 30 days on ground that tariffs cannot be prepared with the limited notice given.
 Bum and the Birmingham ship shippers favor injunction proceed -' ings and will press this view on the Alabama officials.

TRUCKERS GET FRUIT
 TREES AT LOW COST

Good results follow cooperative purchasing by the Jefferson County Truck Growers association, accord ing to acting County Agent T. J. Jor- dan. The truckers have bought 6,202 fruit trees at saving of S200.
 By having delivery and doing planting at the same time the truck CTS were enabled to secure assistance of B. G. Sitton of Auburn, who in- spected the trees and rejected the im- perfect and diseased ones. Auburn experts also gave instructions in planting. pruning and the like.
 The truckers have arranged for wholesale cooperative purchase of their seed for spring planting at a like saving over the retail cost. The cost of the peach trees at the whole sale price was only 10 cents, apples 16 cents and grapes l6 cents.
