CHURCHES ID HELP
 NEAR EAST RELIEF
Sunday School Workers Pre- pare to Handle Contribu-
 tions to Fund

Sunday school workers of Birming- ham will be called upon Sunday to aid sufferers of the Near East. At a preliminary to the church appeal which will be held here Sunday. Ne- vember 12. envelopes will be dis tributed in every Sunday school of the city along with pamphlet ex- plaining conditions among the starv- ing thousands of the Near East. and requesting that the envelopes be re- turned by members with their sub scriptions the following Sunday
 Through this method the Near East executive committee. composed of representatives of practically every religious. commercial and civic or Sanization in Birmingham, believes that the younger people of the city can be made thoroughly familiar with the needs for funds to prevent further deaths from starvation among the refugees.
 Final details for the church appeal were worked out by the executive committee this week at a conference with representatives of the Pastors union.
 A letter from R. s. Munger. ex- blaming his connection with the Near East relief. has been mailed through out the state as follows.
 T have been appointed by Presi- dent Harding to represent the people of Alabama on a national committee for the relief of the sufferers in the Near East. You have gathered from your papers something of the situa ton resulting from the continuous outrages committed by the Turkish armies.
 The destruction of Smyrna and the devastation of surrounding country has added half million people, mostly women and children, to the all ready large list of refugees who are without food, clothing or shelter as winter approaches. The Near East Relief. corporation chartered by the United States Congress, and led by such men as Cleveland H. Dodge, James l.. Barton, ex-President Taft. Henry Morgenthau and John R. Mott, is functioning in a splendidly eff cient way to meet this need. The na- tional committee, on which l have accepted service, has been appointed to cooperate with the Near East Re- lief organization in securing and ad- ministering relief funds.
 "A representative of this organiza- tion will be in your city at an early date, and I am writing to ask your personal cooperation in securing an adequate presentation of this desper- ate need to the people of your com munity"

MARX SEES RAPID
 GAIN IN BUSINESS
Banker Here For Few Days Says Railroads Have Big
 Problem

Otto Marx, head of the firm of Marx and company, investment bank CTS. who now makes his home in New York, is in Birmingham for a few days.
 Business all over the country is picking up in great shape" said MT. Marx. and nothing proves it better than the demand that is be- ing made upon the railroads for transportation. The congestion of freight has really become serious matter and the railroads are called upon to handle volume of traffic such has probably never faced them in their history.
 "Even a great road like the Penn sylvania. Is having very serious diff ficulty in handling the great volume of business that is offered. Com Ing to Birmingham I was delayed four hours on this line by a freight wreck, which was a direct result of the congestion of traffic.
 MT. Marks firm has just performed a notable financial feat in taking over the entire ss50,00o bond issue on the Jefferson County Bank building. In financial circles 1t was considered important that a local firm was able to swing a matter of this magnitude. The $850,000 of gold bonds bear 6 per cent interest and run for 20 years. They are being offered by Marx and company at 99 and accrued interest, and a tribute to the financial stability of the local situation is the fact that they are being disposed of here so readily. The bonds are to be retired at the rate of s40,0oo annually for the first three years. and s30,ooo annually thereafter.

SENATOR HEFL|N IS WTR|OL|C IN
 POLITICAL SPEECH
Republican Party, w. P. G. Harding and State News papers Subject of Attack
 by "Cotton Tom"

Republicans, W. P. c. Harding,
 and newspapers were bitterly at tackled by Senator J. Thomas Heflin last night in an address at the Jeff ferson theatre. Denunciation of all legged maladministration of the fed eraI reserve system, and the policy of deflation consumed the major portion of the senator's speech.
 Speaking for the democratic party in the coming elections, Senator lief lin branded the republican party as the bringer of "tramps. train rob- bers, bolsheviks and murderers. These, he said. were the results of fruits ye shall know them, added the senator.
 Senator Heflin's phlegmatic ar raignment of Governor Hardings ad ministration of the federal reserve board smacked of his speeches re- ported from the floor of the Senate. He characterized Harding as a ''black sheep" "a traitor and "a tool of the republican party" de- claring that he had "sold himself and his people to the pillagers of Wall street"
 Attacked EditoriaIIy
 Asserting that he had himself made national issue of what he claimed d was the crooked" deflation policy of the republican administration, Senator Heflin declared that he was entitled to the support of every newspaper in Alabama. Instead, he said, he had been attacked editorially and in news items. Undaunted, he said, he continued to fight the fight of his people. His only concession to journalism was to Arthur Bris- bane.
 The republican party was assailed most bitterly by Senator Heflin. He declared Ut deserves the seorn and contempt of honest people" He said that it was owned and manipulated by special interests, and particularly by Wall street.
 The Greatest Crime Reviewing specifically the record of the present administration. Sen ator Heflin, charged that 1t had turned southern prosperity into pow ferty, by reason of sudden and unex- pected raising of rediscount rates at federal reserve banks. He said that this deflation was ..the greatest crime ever perpetrated against a people,"
 Senator Heflin also charged the re- publican party with preferential
 taxation by its revision of the in- come tax law, black kguardism by it's , seating of Senator Newberry of Michigan and piracy by it's new tariff law. He also denounced the anti lynching bill, recently passed by the House and now on the calendar of the Senate.
 Seaport Amendment Senator Heflin made a brief ap- peal for the passage of the Mobile seaport amendment. He said he was confident of it's adoption, and that he had heard no opposition to it in all his travel through the state.
 Reverting to his former topic, the senator concluded his address by de- scribing the fatal consequences of deflation in ancient times. The fall of Babylon, Rome and Egypt he at- tributed to this "insidious policy" He
 urged, public condemnation of what
 he said was its present day advo- cates.
 A large audience heard Senator Heflin. He was introduced by Syd- ney J. Bowie, who followed with a
 brief statement of the statewide i'm portance of the Mobile seaport amendment.
