MAeNATEs ASSERT SELVES

ESSEN, Jan. 1s.-The Ruhr coal magnates last night served written no- tice on the French that they would refuse to deliver further coal on the separations account, this being a mat ter for the German government to provide for instead of individual own- CTS. Following this statement the French military authorities declared the seizure of the Ruhr mines.
 It is believed that a too precipitate action in the part of the invaders will arouse such an intense feeling that unpleasant relations will result.

PRODUCTS OF. DISTRICT I ]. BE DISPLAYED
Amusement For Week To Add To Attractions Arranged For Visitors From State-Circus Acts On Program
 STYLE SHOW THURSDAY TO BE FEATURE NUMBER Joint Parade To Be Staged By Committee With Adver- Using Clubs Tuesday-All Downtown Streets Decorated


 Street decorations are being placed exhibits are all arranged. the circus acts are, in town, brass bands are tuning up. and the streets are thronged with visitors. All Is in readiness for the opening Monday morning of Birmingham's fall festi- val and industrial exhibit
 Committees have finished their work with the numerous details in cident to an exhibit of the scope of the festival, and Saturday night turned in their final reports. Bir- mingham is now ready to entertain her visitors with a week of fun, frolic and educational features ex- pected to surpass in completeness and from a point of interest anything ever before attempted here.
 O, L. Bum, secretary manager of the Chamber of Commerce, fostered the idea of a fall festival for Bir mingham in lieu of the annual Ala bama state fair, which has been tenn porarily abandoned, and as an origi- nal manner of displaying to citizens of Alabama the various products of . industrial Birmingham. This display is expected to prove one of the fea- ture events of the entire week. Prod ucts of the various iron. and steel works, the heavy exhibits. will be shown in the Birmingham Ledger building. Other products will be on display in the various retail window spaces of the business district. Mer- chants have co-operated practically 100 per cent in making this display possible.
 Amusement for the week is varied and interesting. Contracts have been closed with the Rhoda Royal circus for the best of their acts and will include clowns, elephants, dogs, ponies, horses. bucking mules and a number of star circus performers, who will do their stunts unheralded on the street corners at intervals during each day of the week. Complete Style show
 A complete style show in which a score of pretty girls will show the latest creations in feminine fancies will be held at the Phillips High school Thursda yevening. This show is entirely new in it's manner of pres entation and is declared by the com mittee in charge to be the most elaborately arranged ever attempted in Birmingham. Free tickets to the style show and to the other events will be distributed to visitors from general festival headquarters in the Ledger building, Twenty-first street and First avenue. Members of the general committee will be on hand there at all hours to assist visitors in every way possible.

 day Afternoon

Three city officials will conduct a special service for men in the First Methodist church at 3 o'clock Sun day afternoon. They are Commis- sioner W. B. Cloe, Judge Henry J. Martin and Chief of Police Fred A. McDuff.
 Conditions of the day will be the general topic, each official making short talk on conditions facing Bir- mingham as he finds them.
 Commissioner Cloe will discuss general conditions of law enforce ment; Judge Martin, administration of justice, and Chief McDuff, the enforcement of the law.
 Music will be led by Walter Ma cons quartet.
 Speaking of the service to be held Commission Cloe said Birmingham is seriously handicapped by the small ness of it's police force. 1t being es- timated that not much more than one evildoer in ten is arrested in Bir- mingham and the thoughtful co-op- eration of right minded citizens Is needed as an adjunct to bettering con ditions. He has considered the ad- visibility of enlisting all citizens as co-operators with the law enforce ment department, temporarily, until such time as the municipality can provide more police protection.
 The thought behind the called meeting is the opportunity for a heart to heart talk beween the men entrusted with the guidance of law enforcement and the men of the city. the police officials laying the status the city for their inspection and ad-
