Altman. in his injunction petition filed before all the circuit court judges Saturday, claimed that 13 men had been unlawfully seized, interro- gated, and imprisoned by Major Baldwin's orders. Asserting that the rights of some of his clients as American citizens were jeopardlzed by Major Baldwinfs procedure, he pleaded for an injunction restrain ing further activity by him.
 Civil authorities make arrest on suspicion said Major Baldwin, in a statement Monday, and we as mill itary authorities are vested with tine same law-enforcing powers. There is precedent for our actions"
 Altman in his injunction and ha- beaus corpus petitions had charged that men taken by military author ittes had been insulted and unneccs- sarily hnmiliated, Major Baldwin flatly denied these charges.
 It Is understt od that the \. L.. Pierce National Detective Agency has been working on the dynamitlng case. but when interviewed by newspaper reporter officials refused to make any statement.
 No statement has been made by John $. Stone, counsel for the Louis vile and Nashville railroad, by whom the case has. 1t is understood, been vigorously prosecuted.

CLOSING OF SAMPLE ROOMS REFERRED ID
 M'DUEE. SAYS CLOE
Travellers and Hotel Men Make Protest Against Clos ing 0rder-No BeIliger-
 ent Campaign, CIoe

Complaints of hotelmen and tray cling salesmen made to w. B. Cloel commissioner of public safety, Mon day, that police officers had invaded sample rooms of hotels Sunday and ordered all cases closed, were met with assurances that no belligerent campaign involving arrests had been ordered by him.
 Commissioner Cloe said, however, that he would make no formal state ment until he had conferred with Chief Fred H. McDuff, who is ex- pected to be at his office Tuesday after a brief absence from the city
 T have received complaints from Birmingham jobbers that travelling statesmen are evading the Sunday closing law by showing their samples in hotels on sunday" said Gommis- sioner Cloe. q have also been in- formed that wholesale houses on First avenue open their doors and do busi-
 
 ters to Chief McDuff, but did not or der any arrests. T did order closing of the wholesale houses on First ave nue Sunday" Commissioner Cloe said he did not know whether these houses were closed or not. He did not say whether he had ordered clos ing of sample rooms.
 Avoid Birmingham
 Much resentment was expressed by fote managers in view of acts of police officers Sunday in entering sample rooms and ordering them closed. They said that travelling sales men would avoid Birmingham if they were not permitted to display their goods during their weekend stays.
 George R. Benton, manager of the Hillman hotel, who is also president of the Alabama Hotel Mems associa- tion, announced that he would bring the matter before the meeting of the association in Montgomery next month.
 T believe that Commissioner Cloe has acted hastily and without know ing his ground" said MT. Benton. T do not believe that there is any ordi- nance that will authorize any such closing of sample rooms on Sunday. Sample Rooms
 Sample rooms are the week end homes of traveling men, and they are entitled to conduct themselves there as they see fit, just as they would in their own homes. They are also entitled to the privilege of receiving and entertaining guests and custo- mers. I consider them in a different sphere from ordinary commercial men.
 Furthermore, they display their goods on Sunday as an accommoda- tion to Birmingham merchants who have little time to see them on Sat urday or during the week. They de- liver no goods and make no sales; they merely take orders. Sunday is regarded over the United States as sample showing day If the travel ing salesman cannot show his goods on Sunday, then the merchant ought to have to pull down his blinds over his show windows. where his mer- chaudise is displayed and labeled with price tags"
 c. J. Hudson. first assistant man ager of the Tutwiler hotel, said that the hotel business would be seriously crippled if travelling salesmen were prevented from showing samples cn Sunday. Weekend business, he said was the best of any the hotels had and this would be greatly reduced.

F|C|ALS VISIT PEPLANTS HERE Four Southern Shops Busy, Inspectors Are
 Told

L. R. LeMoyne. president, and D. P. Hopkins. vice president of the United States Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry company were in Birmingham yes terday on an end-of-year inspection of the plants at Bessemer and North Birmingham. They left in the eve ming for Chattanooga and Anniston, where they will look over plants at those points.
 All four of the southern plants of the United States Pipe company are oper- ating on close to full turn and better car supply has enabled heavy deliv- cries of product, much of which is going into the southeastern states, North Carolina taking large ton mage. One of the largest orders of pressure pipe of the year was one of 5000 tons for the Atlanta water works.
 The plants of the company in the south are understood to have orders ahead that insure steady operations for the remainder of the year and into 1923. The company has made especially large shipments from the Birmingham district plants to Pa cific coast and Honolulu this year.
 Some time ago machines for mak- Ing pressure pipe Dy centrifugal mo ton were installed at the North Bir- mingham plant and the product pro- nounced by company experts $ more than coming up to expectations. The process Is known as the De Lavaud and the United States Pipe pur- chased the patent rights from the Canadian holders. The right is being sub1eased to other pressure pipe mak- CTS, the National Pipe of Birmlng- ham being among the sub-lessees.
 This pipe has not yet been for ma1ly placed on the market, price schedules and other details being, it is understood. worked out prior 70 regular marketing of the new pipe. This pipe is thinner than the pipe now made in pits, but stands a higher pressure. and, it is claimed, will supersede steel pipe in many places where the latter is now used.

 A petition seeking to restrain mil itary authorities from taking into custody. interrogating, and imprison- ing suspected strikers and dynamit- CTS had been fileds by Altman, repre- senting a number of labor organiza- tions, Saturday. This petition will not be heard until the latter part It the week.
 Contempt Charged
 While the two men who were turned over to the United States marshal Monday, Kelly Barnett and F. T. Cox. are suspected of being connected with railroad dynamitings, the only charge preferred against them is that of contempt of court arising out of alleged violations of Judge Grubb's strike injunction. Each of them made s2.000 bond fixed by Judge Grubb.
 An effort by Attorney Altman to have Major Baldwin held in contempt of court failed when Major Baldwin swore before Judge Grubb that there had been no collusion between him and federal authorities involving the transfer of the alleged strikers. Alt man charged that an agreement had been reached between the military and the federal civil authorities whereby the men would be transfer red to eivIl Jurisdiction and made inamenable to habeas corpus pro- ceedings. Baldwin denied this.

pr. Stuart Helps Negro
 Get Pigs, Only to Find Butler Theory Wrong

Further evidences of the phil anthropic nature of Dr. George Stuart, pastor of the First Metho- dist church, Sixth avenue and Nineteenth street, was shown in the report at police headquarters by Detectives W. K. McAdory' and W. F. Lee Monday that Dr. Stuart was the victim of a dusky member of the male species to the extent of s3.
 The experience of pr. Stuart was in exact rebuttal to the fam ous them of book of Ellis Parker Butler, vPigs is Pigs" swine being mentioned In the fraudulent trans action in which the pastor was the victim although they could not be found while Butler had a multi piled number upon which to found his story.
 Dr. Stuart In relating the man ner in which he was victimized. said that a negro had stopped him in one of the main streets of Bir- mingham and there in tones of deep anguish, accompanied by many wild gestures. emitted a hard luch stor ythat would have touched" the hardest hearted miser. The dusky black managed to explain, according to Dr. Stuart, that a shipment of youth full pigs had arrived in the local express office and that he had re- ceived notification that the freight charge amounted to $3. which amount he did not possess. Dr. Stuart. deploring the financial status of the black, presented him with the stipulated amount after receiving q verbal promise that he would be paid back by Sad day" night.
 Now McAdory and Lee are combing darktown for the blacks who Is wanted at police head quarters for false pretense. in vestigation having brought out the that no pigs had come to the local express office consigned to anyone.

Howard


 The freshman classes of Howard college this year are receiving in- structions in the use of library fs- cilities. This Is being made part of the required freshman work, said Dr. James H. Chapman, chairman of the library committee of the faculty. Mrs. Caroline P. Engstfeld, library advisor of Howard. and head of the oatalog and order department of the public library system. is in charge of the instructions. Since there are more than 15,000 volumes on the li- brary shelves, and more than 16,000 pamphlets on file, with seldom ever more than one librarian on the desA. the need of such instruction is im- perative.
 The college will close Thursday in- stead of Tuesday. as was first an- nounced. Tickets were on sale for the trip Monday afternoon. Dr. John c. Dawson, president of the college. will leave for the convention Wednesday.
