 The mayor and district attorney. after inspecting 25 yards of ties which had been ripped to splinters. announced their opinion that the loss Of life had been caused by faulty con- struction.
 Defective Truck, Rotten Rails.
 q am convinced" said the mayor. that the accident was caused by a defective truck leaving the track and crashing through a rotten guard rail, which, if good, should have prevented the fall to the pavement. The pres- ent guard rails are 30 years old. The cars are from B to 40 years old"
 All Investigating officials agreed that the accident had had it's incep- tion at a switch, 30 feet beyond which the train had plunged to the street. The mayor, who had worked as an employe on the elevated railroad when 1t was built many years ago, asserted that the second car had been derailed at the switch, had dragged along on the ties and had pulled the first with II through the rotten guard rail
 Although Pareell, the motorman. asserted he had seen the switch turn to green, giving him right of way. the switch was turned to red after the accident. The mayor openly charged that it had been tempered with after the crash.

BOOZE CARRYING CONTINUE
 ID LOSE LIQUORS
However, Baltic Was Allowed To Retain "Medicine" For
 25,O0O Passengers

NEW YORK, June 25.-Eight great foreign liners which sailed into New York harbor during the of liquor under government seals are today preparing to put out for home with closed bars. The sup plies of two of these ships the Bal tic and the Berengaria, have been seized by United States customs of ficials. The others will lose their drinkablos tomorrow or the next day.
 Thousands of gallons of liquors, wines and beers have already been confiscated. Many thousands more will be talNn tomorrow. If the seizure continues at the present rate liners will be held in port over their schedule within a day or two.
 Tomorrow nine more vessels are due, all reported to have liquor on board. These ships represent five nations and their liquor is under their government seals. The Baltic eral supply of spirits and beer for medicinal purposes English law re- quires all English liners to carry at least one gallon of brandy for each loo passengers and crew.
 
 On this scale. the Baltic has been allowed enough liquor for passen- ger list of 25,000. according to off cers of the line. The Berengaria has about the same percentage.
 Steamers which came in over the week end, and which as yet have their seals unbroken, are the Paris, with 3,700 bottles of spirits and beer and 200 casks of wine and beer; the Cedric, with 12,000 quarts listed as medicine" the Suffren, with 2,100 bottles of assorted wines and li quors; the Conte Verdi, with 2,000 gallons of wine; the Providence, with brandy; thes Tuscania and the Car mania with assorted beverages. No Liquor Served Returning.
 Despite the fact that the ships are being allowed much more than is needed for medicinal purposes, their officers declared today that no liquor would be served on the re- turn trip except on prescription from the ships surgeon. This will be done on the Berengaria in accord ance with the liners manifest, which listed all the liquor as for medicinal use only"
 At the lines office. it was said late today that no advices had been received from abroad as to what course would be followed. There was some doubt as to whether the cases would be taken to the United States supreme court inasmuch as the public health surgeon, Dr. E. K. Sprague, had allowed the vessels more than was required under law for hospital room use. It was pointed out that this Is the first time a ships stores have been broken, some allowed and some seized.

 As stated in the Sunday Age Herald the present property owners are to take preferred stock and bonds in the new concern. It will have been mergr rather than a sale to new parties, the Alathmians still controlling the preferred secur- ities and the management will be Aabamians.
 The three concerns have com bined production now of approxi- mately 100000 tons. which can be increased to more than twice that amount by development. Both the Corona and the Empire do a large bunker and export business at Mo- bile and New Orleans and the Corona also does a large bunker and ex- port business at Pensacola. In addi- tion to this the DeBardeleben com ness with Texas ports via ocean going barges out of Mobile. which also carry Birmingham steel shapes and bring back sulphur for Birming- ham and is Warrior river coal shippers.
 NOore's Future Plans.
 T. is understood that Walter Moore, president of the Empire Coal and builder up of those properties, will devote his future interests to private coal holdings which em- brace the Pratt Fuel, Dora Fuel and kershaw Coal companies.
 The Corona properties have been owned and operated for years by Morris X Edgar Adler. who pur- chased from l.. E, Musgrove and as sociates, and they have built them into a property mining nearly 1,000- eco tons year,
 General effect of the consolidation will be to buoy up and combine the principal operating coal properties in the Walker county field adapted for delivery both by rail and by water. When Lock IS is built near Cordoya it will throw naviga bl s water further into the heart of the Empire basin ana afford vast ton nages of coal available for direct loading into barges from river bank mines.
 It is believed that those participat- ing in the consolidation had an idea to the big future of Alabama ex- port and bunker coal and that eX- tensiVe developments along that line may be anticipated.

 What may happen within the next important political months remains to be seen, but in that time the one thing that Ford will have to acquire if he is to. be a really tremendous factor in the next campaign is an organization sponsored by repre- sentative group of citizens whose influence can assure him of a fight ing chance against clements within the major parties who either do not like him or who belittle his strength.

 In the next six months, undoubted- ly, there will be the same machina- tions under way to kill off Ford as occurred with Hoover in 1920.
