TO READ BARRlE'S FARCE
Mrs. Beecher to Be Heard in "Alice
 Sit-by -the-fire"

J. M. Barrie's well known and justly famous Alice Sit-by-the- fire" first made popular about Is years ago by Ethel Barrymore. will again be presented to the public Of Birmingham Thursday. January 2G. by Birmingham's we'll known reader, Mrs. Leonard T. Beecher.
 The play itself is whimsical and very human. Mrs. Beechers rendi- tion of 1t will in itself be worth hear ing. aside from the value of the play Itself.
 Mrs. Beecher is regarded as much of an artist in her reading as others presented by the Art league have been in their use of the brush or pas tels or grayer, and just as much worth listening to as the work of these others is worth looking at and studying.
 The Art league announces it is a pleasure to present Mrs. Beecher's s reading of Alice Sit- by- the-fire" to those in Birmingham who appreciate good plays. well read, by well known people.

 Judge Gamble stated, however, that he could not be here January 23. that continuance of the cases would be necessary and that it would be bet ter to postpone the trials until the regular term of court.
 Wilkinson based his opposition to a continuation on the grounds that to delay the cases would probably re- suit in the absence of material wit nesses for the state difficulties In getting the defendants into court would be increased by their being at liberty on bond, He was over ruled, however, by the court and for nal order fixing the bonds of the defendants was entered.

CEREMONY TOMARK SCRAPPING OF ONE OF THE J. 5. SHIPS
Vessel May Be Sunk in Mid Ocean With Flags Flying. s. s. Kentucky May
 Be Used
By Associated Press

Washington, January 14.-suE-
 EestiOn that one of the American
 battIeships to be scrapped under
 the naval limitation program he
 escorted to sen by the Atlantic
 fleet and sunk, with flags flying
 and full naval honOrs, have been
 received with approval by high
 naval officials. While no defi-
 mite plans for the scrappInE of
 the ships will be undertaken, at
 least until the treaty has been
 signed, it was Indicated that
 such s ceremony as suggested
 probably would be included.
 A veteran of the navy would be selected. it was said, If 1t was de- cided to carry out the formal naval ceremony of farewell to the ships that are to be destroyed. The oldest of the second line battleships Is the Kentucky, first commissioned May Is, 1900, and which went out of com mission May 29, 1920, after 20 years and 14 days of continuous active serv- ice in the navy.
 If the ceremonial sinking is car ried out, 1t seems likely that the Ken . tuGky WQulQ pc Iil6 SAiP dO5ie5 AfANcNa to receive these honors, intended to represent the pride of the navy and the American people in the ships work that has been done through the years by all of the old battleships that now are to be destroyed.
 Oregon older
 The Oregon is an older ship and the only veteran of actual battle in the Spanish American war in the battleship list of the navy. She has long been stricken from the roll of active or second line craft, however, and is carried on the unclassified list along with such veterans of the Rev olutionary war as the sailing frigates Constitution and Constellation. the old corvette Hartford, once Admiral Farragut's flagship. The old Iowa, built in 1893. also is on this list, and also Is a veteran of the Spanish American war, but is now used as target ship under radio control. It is expected that provision will be made fortretention of the Oregon as an historic relic and of the Iowa and the old Indiana for experimental pur- roses, so the Kentucky Is the oldest of the fighting ships that will De destroyed, and probably on that ac- count would be accorded the special honors planned.
 It would be the purpose of the navy to make this ceremonial sink- ina as impressive as possible. Prob abIy the ship would be kept intact pafnted and her brass work polished for the last time and put to sea on her last trip under her own power. At the selected point. she would be dressed from stem to stern with fly ing flags and with her battle em- blems flying from her masthead her seacock would be opened and as she sank the fleet would fire three salvos and the national salute of 2l guns in honor of the passing of a loyal comrade.

 Would Paralyze Courts
 Had not our county been depu- ttzed there would have been a ten dency to paralyze court procedure" Judge Dan A. Greene stated last night in commenting on the import ance of the issue.
 "Following a recent conference with Solicitor Joseph Tate, CIemon c. Burke of the firm of Dupuy & Burke, and Sheriff Hartsields attorney. MT. Burke decided to send a representa- tive to Baltimore to see if the com pany they represent would accept the local deputy bonding business, they having previously refused. Had not this been done the county would have been at the mercy of the lawbreakers for the law requires that deputies be under bond.
 "Dupuy & Burke deserve credit for the work they have done as 1t was purely a patriotic act as no money will accrue to them after the ex- pense of the representatives trip.
 There Is a direct liability on dep uties who are bonded. They are sued by persons who are fighting the pro- hlbition laws. If a deputy does not keep himself within the law he Is sued"
 and Dr. l.. E. Brubaker, Ensley min ister, expressed qualification of the bond question when apprised of the action of the Baltimore company yes- terday, and commended the Ensley rY, or tbeif. aCti0n

This means full protection for Jefferson county and that the sheriff will be at the old stand ready for business, and if not handicapped f. nancially means that I can fill out my term with the same degree of service as in the past" said Sheriff Hartsfeld.
 Action of the National Surety com pany, which now bonds practically all of the deputies. which Is sched- uled in the circuit court tomorrow, will have no deterrlng effect on coun- ty law enforcement. The company has asked the court for relief on their bonds, declining all except those in- demnified. The expiration date of most of these bonds was January 20.
 Patriotic Action
 According to persons close to the Ensley firm their action was taken as patriotic motive to secure safe ty for the county by having depu- tized sheriffs, as the law states depu- ties cannot function unless bonded. MT. Smith was sent to Baltimore at their expense after the Fidelity and Deposit company had first refused the local bonds. as had other companies.
 According to statement made by Sheriff Hartsfield there have been 2,503 men deputized since he took office January 20, 1919. They pay $10 as an annual premium for bond, which indicates that a minimum of $25, 030 has been received by bond ing companies as premiums. During
