BOOSTS FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
Senator Glass Warns Against Dem
 agognes And Politicians

CLEVELAND, O., Nov. 13.-De- lending the federal reserve banking system, Senator Carter Glass of Vir- eipia, Secretary of the Treasury un- der President Woodrow Wilson, in an address here today, admonished his audience not to let "the politicians and demagogues break down the sys- tenn which has saved the country"
 In denying that the federal reserve system had anything to do with the deflatation of agriculture. Senator Glass declared the system has brought about the emancipation of agriculture. has freed the farmers from the hands of "shylocks" and has reduced rates of interest 1s4 per cent.
 "On December 2, 1920, when com modity prices had all but reached the bottom; when cotton was selling at II cents, wheat and corn were way down, and wool could not be sold, the bank credits and volume of re- serve of the federal reserve system were at their highest" Senator Glass said. "They were $500, 100000 above the mark of January, 1920.
 Yet. in the face of that authentic evidence, we find demagogues going about the country prating about the federal reserve system deflating ag- riculture. The fact is that business had gone to pieces"

INSANITY IO BE COBURN DEFENSE
AIienist Says PriIip E. Fox Was And Is Now
 Unbalanced

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 1S.--"Delu- sionaI insanity" is expected to be the plea of Philip E. Fox. klan publicity man, when he goes on trial next month for the murder of Capt. W. s. Coburn, klan attorney.
 Counsel for Fox and his physician today declared they had no doubt that Fox was insane when he shot Coburn in his office here a week ago, and the physician, Dr. Linton Smith, expressed his belief that the prisoner still is mentally unbalanced It was learned also that the solicitor gem eral is preparing the states case with the expectancy of an insanity plea being made by Fox.
 With these developments in the Fox case there occurred today an- other chapter in the klan factional differences when peace warrant. sworn out several days ago against Imperial Wizard H. w Evans, was dismissed after pr. Fred B. Johnston, chief of staff to Emperor Simmons, asked the court to dismiss it in the interest of all concerned. When he obtained the warrants for Evans and three of his aides. Johnston asserted that he<had reason to fear for his life and the lives of other klan officials.
 Wizard Evans, in a statement later Tn the day, said he was not in pos session of the facts of the Coburn killing and refuted the recent state ment of Emperor Simmons that the klan was headed toward destruction. upon strong spiritual and finan- cial fOlnda tiOn

s M ALL BANKERS lARENOT SATISFIED
Federal Reserve SyStent h. quiry Hears Texas Com
 missioner

HOUSTON. Tex, Nov 13.-Most of the dissatisfaction which exists in Texas with reference to the federal reserve system is on the part of small bankers. J. L. Chapman, state bank ing commissioner, told the congress sional committee Investigating the attitude of bankers toward the re- serve system here today.
 Among the charges which small town bankers bring against the sys- tenn, he stated. are the assertion that it's officers are arrogant and over bearing; that the rule requiring mem ber banks to limit deposits with non- member banks to 10 per cent of their capital and surplus is discriminatory and unfair; that the recently made ruling under which member banks are compelled to pay for eXamina tion by national bank examiners is unjust. and that failure to receive interest on their deposits Is a cause of frequent protest.
 MT. Chapman was careful to ex- plain that he did not endorse the complaints which he cited, and he took some time to emphasize the fact that he had not found any instances in which members of the federal re- serve system were either arrogant or autocratic."
 Other witnesses included H. B. Timpson, of the Houston Bank and Trust company who declared that country bankers are anxious to see a rule enacted which would permit them to make a small collection charge on clearance paper.
 The congressman came to Houston from Dallas, where they conducted a hearing Monday.

Burden Upon Defendant, Court Of Appeals Holds In
 Chiropractor Case
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU
 THE AGE-HERALD


 The burden of proof is upon the person required by law to hold a license to show that he has it, accord ing to an opinion by the court of ap- peals in the case of F. C. McClosky versus the state. appealed from the Etowah circuit court, rendered Tues day afternoon.
 McClosky was convicted of carrying on the practice of a chiropractor ssunoo sTu pue 'esueolI 8 lnoqlEM contended that the burden was upon the sta,e to show that he did not possess a license. The court of ap- peals held that since the possession of license is a matter peculiarly in the knowledge of the defendant, the burden is upon him to prove it's pos session.
 In it's opinion the court of appeals pointed out that any person wno treats or offers to treat diseases of human beings in Alabama without a certificate from the state board of medical examiners violates the law. The opinion declared expressly that chiropractors are not excluded or that they have the same right to ap- ply for a license as a homeopath or an osteopath and that the require ments of a license applies to all meth ods and schools of treating human diseases,
 The court affirmed the case on first hearing, but on an aplication for a rehearing granted the application and reversed and remanded the case for new trial. the reversal being on the ground of an error in the method of transfer of the case from the county court to the circuit court.

Despite the fact that stencils, silhouettes and Hay figures" Of turkeys have made their appearance in and on shop windows, indicative of the coming of Thanksgiving Day, the dominant motif of decoration for dis play is such an assortment of Christmas things in the stores as Birmingham never before has seen.
 It has not been necessary this year to start the time- -honored slogan of shop early" for the merchandise has enticed buyers inside to make purchases longs before the actual Christmas buying period could get under way.
 This years showing of holiday wares, in keeping with the past sew eral years, but adds to the war period claim that if the conflict did nothing else it at least released the buying public from the handicap of German toy market overshadowing with the line of goods that had scarce under gone change during their reign Like China, merchants say, he Ger man Influence was not SUI ept.ble to change and there was a lack of novelty and improvement in toy goods that could only De possible be- cause there was new crop of babies each year who were not familiar with what had been offered in preceding seasons.
 Originality To Fore.
 With an abundance of American originality, interest in growing in dustry which has found its best mar ket at home, and the best offerings from some foreign nations, the toy orl- -af h ,fP rafE fEo, of pre-war times and has blossomed with offerings that are a revelation to young and old alike.
 It is curious to note on the Bir- mingham streets the groups of grown persons who are held fasci- mated by the toy shop windows and displays in stores, looking at things which they had not even dreamed of as children and making selections for Christmas presents with aa in terest and zest that Is now making Christmas as much of a matter of thought in the wealth of things to choose from as 1t was a trial several years ago in trying to think up something to buy.
 Drennen, Caheen, Burger. Love man, Joseph and Loeb, Toyland, Ghenoweth, Pizitz, Saks. and all the familiar stores of Birmingham. most of the hardware. and sporting goods shops have windows fairly startling in their array of interesting and in triguing toys, novelties, Christmas things and wares in general suitable for every age of mankind and wom- ankind with the ability to appreciate things really worthwhile.
 An impressive feature of the Christmas merchandise this year is the way the American makers have scored the methods of the central European manufacturers. Nothing is seen now of the paint-splashed con traptions that could only get by with a poor little baby who would not have known any better. In its place is workmanship that shows love of craft, care and pride of service.

WILL NUT PROTEST
 RETURN OF KAISER
Administration Appears h. different To Former Ger
 man Leaders Movements

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1s.-Granting the right of each country to main tain the form of government 1t de- sires, the United States would refuse to join in any protest against the restoration of former Kaiser Will helm II to the German throne. This policy was laid down by an author ized spokesman of the President at the White House Tuesday.
 The state department had sceived official advices ragarding reports that the ex-Kaiser IS about 10 start for the fatherland
 At the White House lt was stated the allies have the right tp protest under the treaty of Versailles. but that the United States Is not 2 party to this treaty, and therefore as no interest in he matter.
 In the treaty of Berlin Che United States reserves the right to srcise privileges granted under certz sec tions of the treaty Of Versa. ss. But the United States claims no rights un- der Part ', which provides for the trial of the former Kaiser,
 It is understood that former Sec retary of State Lansing and mes Scott Brown. who woe Anleri- can members Of th sHam sion which drafted tfo as .rr aslb lity clauses. suou cs4d nirar rsDort opposing ne plan William Hohen-5 5slern.
 4he indifeference tHs aamiais- fration towards thrta ed easJe ra- tion of the KaiseTd provokeS s0me surprise rom followers Of Woodrow Wilson, who recalled that hls svar- time utterances were directed at he Kaiser and the monarchist clique as contrasted with the German people.
 Before he would consent to an armistice, Wilson sent a curt note to the German imperial government declaring that the allies could not treat with the enemy so long as the Hohenzollern regime was in power. Its abdication was demanded as a preliminary to the granting of an armistice.
 The attitude of indifference taken at the White House serves further to emphasize the wide gap that now ex- lsts between the United States and Europe. When the republicans, soon after Harding came into power, adopted the peace resolution and the separate treaty of peace with Ger many was negotiated, democrats de- nounced 1t as assertion of the al- lies. Likewise the present administra- tlon's attitude toward the threat ened return of the Kaiser to power Is apt to stir similar expressions from those who insist that the war was directed first of all at Wilhelm and theSTuthless ring around him.
