WASHINGTON, May 1.-Indications
that excess railroad earnings during
1922. subject to recaptnre by the gov
eminent, did not exceed $4,000, 900.
and perhaps did not even reach that
total, are given by almost complete
returns from the carriers to the in

CURED all roads to have the returns
IN by May 1, and it was said today
that practically all the larger sys-
TENS had complied.
Payment to the government OF all
railroad earnings which exceed fair
return on capital, the rate of return
to be filed by the interstate COM
merce commission, was an obligation
entailed on all carriers by the trans
portation act of 1920. SO far, how
ever, the government. has collected
practically nothing from that source
of revenue. The fair return stand
ard originally was set by the law at
8 per cent on the value of property
used in transportation by each cor
poration, but in 1922 the commission
changed the rate to SIS per cent.
None of the large railroad sys-
tens has succeeded, except for brief
periods, in attaining earnings which
even reach the fair return limit. on
the basis of their own calculations
as to the value of their property. The
commissions own valuation work en-

CITY BURNS $4,000
IMPROVEMENT BONDS
Description Of Future DESTROYED
Bonds Will Be Published

That's paid" was the unanimous
comment of the city commission at
the conclusion of the Tuesday morn
ing session as $4,000 worth of can
celled and retired bonds, issued in
1913 and 1915, went up in smoke.
What were the bonds for?" was
asked. "Oh, just public improve
ments."
That set President D. E. McLendon
and Commissioner w. B. Cloe, last to
leave the room to thinking. Finally
they decided that in the future every
retired bond that is destroyed will be
described for public information.
In the future" said Mr.. McLen-
don, "the time of issue, the purpose
for which the bonds We're floated,
the exact public improvement for
which the money was spent, the To-
cality, and any other data of pub
lie interest concerning them will be
posted on the bulletin board in the
lobby of the City hall and copies
furnished each newspaper or periodi-
cal desiring one"
"Of course anybody interest ed
could look up the details, as it is all
matter of public record" said Mr..
Cloe." but what we are striving for
is to get the public even more inter-
ested in the workings of the city.
People will take a greater pride in
their neighborhood when they realize
its improvements are paid for and
it is good thing for all to know,
especially in buying realty, that what
they are told the cost is will be cor
rect. instead of having a bill present
ed for a paving assessment they
knew nothing about. as has been the
case in some instances"
Mr.. McLendon issued orders Tues
day that the recbrd of all satisfied
bonds be presented for public infor-
nation before the papers are de-
stroyed.
Those burned Tuesday filled zinc
bucket several times and took about
five minutes to be consumed.

mingham At Time Of Crime
In Home State

Joseph A. Poe, 10 years old, of
Terre Haute, Ind, now serving a 20
year sentence in the Indiana state
penitentiary for conviction on a
charge of assault, when armed with
deadly weapon. with intent to rob,
may soon have his freedom if it can
be proved that he was in Birmin CHAM
at the time the alleged assault in
Indiana occurred. V. f. Richardson,
Terre Haute, came to Birmingham
recently accompanied by his wife who
is the boys sister, to obtain affi-
davits of Poe's arrest in Birmingham m.
Poe was convicted by an Indiana
jury of the assault charge, which
was supposed to have occurred De-
cember 6. 1921. He is now in the
Indiana state penitentiary serving
time on an intermediate sentence of
from 10 to 90 years, and in addition
to the sentence he was fined $4,000
Investigation disclosed the fact
that railroad officials in Birmingham

trespassing December 4, 1921. His
case was set for trial before Judge

until December g. Instructions. were
given at the same time to W. j.
Brannon, superintendent of the bu-
reau of Identification, to finger print
and photogra the defendant and
furnish the court with his record, if
available. Investigation by Mr.. Bran
non showed no criminal record and
upon appearance before Judge Mar
tin, Poe was given a suspended SEN
tence of 90 days on the condition that
he leave town.
Upon being shown the photograph
of Poe, Mrs. Richardson broke down
and cried, saying that it was the like
ness of her brother now in the Indi-
ana prison for a crime alleged to have
been committed on the date he was in
birmingham. Sergeant Lyons prom
ised that he would furnish affidavits,
finger prints and other means of
Identification. with a certified copy
