Negro Janitor Copies
Paintings of Noted
Artists

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 9.-Officials
and workers in the Union Station
here cannot believe their eyes when
they behold a copy of famous oil
painting produced by Albert Jackson,
a Negro janitor at the station. Going
about in his usual quiet manner sling
ing the mop over the spacious floors
his co-workers and other denizens
about the station little thought that
Jackson was fit for anything more
than to massage the floors of the sta
ton.
Jaskson just finished and put on dis
play in the office of " l. Bell, station
master, a copy of one of Corregio's
best known paintings, "Birth of
Christ. In his surprise at the pre-
vailing blue tone of the painting by
Jackson, the visitor is likely to over
look the fact that the janitor-painter
has done very commendable job of
copying.
What actually was done was to copy
a reproduction of a steel engraving
Inc engraving was done presumably
from the original, by A. Lefevre And
that accounts for the blue color
scheme. The painting shows the
Mother Mary, Saint Joseph, heaven
ly host lowering above, and, of course,
the Christ-child.
The unusual thing about the work
of Jackson is the light is made to ra-
diate from the child, gently and ten
derly rather than from an earthly
source. The copy is about 42x4S inch
es, and three months were required for
its production. With thrift unusual in
the profession, Jackson has set down
the figures in the matter and finds
that the paint used cost him exactly
$11.50.

had been presented at tho trial was indisputable and showed plainly that Fite was guilty of hiring agents to secure cases for him. MT. Ether tdge also stated that because Fite had been the only attorney. brought into court on such case that he should not be excused. Convict him and then convict the others when they were brought into court, Nr. Etheridge pleaded. He spoke for II minutes, this being the shortest ar gument of the six.
 Walter S. Brewer led the argument for the defense. Mr Brewer grouped the testimony given at the trial into two classes-circumstan and posi- tive.
 Practically all the testimony in the case is circumstantial," Mr. Brow CT stated. The only positive proof Is offered by Katherine Elkins, Rose Charles and Mrs. Frances Jones. 1 do not believe there is jury in the land who would convict yellow dog on the testimony of the Elkins and Charles women. Especially after so many witnesses have testified that they would not believe them on oath"
 Mir. Brewer was followed by John Altman, also for the defense. Mir Altman charged that the whole case was simply a conspiracy against Fite He pleaded for the jury to uphold Fite because he was innocent and that if they returned findings against him he would be disgraced forever and his children would be disgraced He plead that. because testimony had proven him a man of splendid char acter and not guilty of the charges that Fite be allowed to continue to practice his chosen profession.
 
 made the next speech. He waged a fiery attack upon Judge Fleetwood Rice of Tuscaloosa. He stated that a man who would make such utter ances on the stand about Birming- ham attorneys and members of the bar was unfit to live in this country and should be booted away.
 His statement that 'ambulance' chasing was dead letter In legal ethics In Birmingham is as foul an utterance as has been made on this makes a statement like that should not be permitted to live in this coun- try but should be alienated."
 The last speaker for the defense was A. H. Carmichael of Tuscaloosa. Carmichael told of Fite's life in Ma rion county and how he had risen from farm boy to one of the best lawyers in the state and member of the legislature. He also charged that the case against Fite was purely a lawyers case and that 1t probably came about because some lawyers envied his success as a lawyer.
 These charges against Fite were brought in spirit of venom and spite and are unworthy of the bar association" Carmichael in closing.
 c. P. Beddow, for the state, brought the argument to close.
 Beddow stated that it was an un- disputed fact that Fite had hired de- tectives to work for him since the case begun and that had worked in

country in the world had been able to make such a record in public debt reduction as had the United States Pointing to reduction of more than one-half in federal taxes during the past two years as compared with the war load peak in 1920, he declared this was the "record of business administration to which the party now in control tf the. administration feels justified in referring with no small measure of satisfaction"
 Federal Costs Being Reduced.
 Figures furnished to him by both the treasury and the census bureau. the President stated, make 1t per fectly plain that whereas the cost of federal government is being steadily reduced, the cost of state and local governments is being just as steadily increased, year by year.
 Take the costs of state govern ment,' he said, "I am informed that the revenues of the states in 1913 aggregated s36S, ,o0o,O0o, and that in 1921 had increased to s959,900,G00; that is, they had increased 161 per cent and every dollar of that in crease had to come in some way or other from the public. The expendi- lures of the states in 1913 aggre-
  were s1,0O5, 100000, an increase of 163 per cent. The indebtedness of the states in 1913 amounted to S423,- GOO, GOO and in 1921 to sf.012,000,0O0, an increase of 139 per cent.
 Turn now to the cost of city gov ernment. The census bureau has compiled data on the governments of 22T of the large cities. It Is shown that these cities in 1913 collected sS9O, ,00O, 900 in all revenue, and in 1921 they collected s1,567 ,000, 900; that Is, they were compelled to take 76 per cent more in taxes in 1921 than they had taken In 1913. The same group of cities expended in 1913, $1,O1O,000,0o0. and in 1921, sl,- 726, 900 900, an increase of Il per cent. The total debt of this group of cities in 1913 was $3,901, 000.oo0, which by 1921 had risen to S4,334,- OO0, ,0O0, an increase of 49 per cent. Reduce Expenses.
 There is but one way for the com munity finally to get back on Its feet, and that is to go seriously about paying it's debts and reducing it's expenses. That is what the world must face The greatest and richest government must face it, and so must the humblest citizen.
 Keep your eye everlastfngly on those who administer your govern mental units for you; your town, your county, your state. your ma tional government. Make them un- derstand that you are applying the rule of thrift and savings In your personal affairs, and require them to applysit in their management of your public affairs If they fail, find other

HARDING BOASTS OF PARTY RECORD
 IN REDUCING TAX
Says Government Expenses Have Been Cut By BuSi-
 ness Methods

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, June 26. President Harding outlined here to- night what the federal government has accomplished in decreasing taxes and the public debt and made plea for action along similar lines by the states, municipalities and counties.
 The Mormon tabernacle, which seats 12,000 persons, was damned to the doors tonight to hear President Harding speak on taxation.
 Thousands more were gathered out side on the tabernacle grounds to
 ar the address. the sixth prepared speech of MT. Harding's western trip, ratus. The assembly hall nearby in the temple grounds likewise was comfortably filled.
 Preceding the Presidents arrival. an organ recital was given and strangely considering the western city and the character of the build ing where the meeting was held, loud applause was given such tunes as Maryland, My Maryland' and Marching Through Georgia
 Opening his remarks, President Harding again expressed his appre- citation of the reception given hiss party by Utah and complimented the state on having Mir. Mabey for it's governor. He said the greeting had won the hearts of Salt Lakes guests and nothing in the trip across the continent would leave sweeter inn pression.
 The audience listened attentively but quietly while the President pre- sented a mass of figures respecting taxing and government costs, but burst into applause when he pointed with pride to reduction in federal taxation; to the lowering of the na- tion's debt and to conclusion of a debt settlement with Great Britain.
 The executive said the federal gov ernment is diligently seeking to prove itself a helpful example" in removing what he characterized as the menace of mounting taxes and growing public indebtedness, but added that this was not alone a fed eral problem, that "the improved or der must come into the units of gov ernment into which the federal gov ernment never intrudes."
 Mir. Harding did not take up in his address any contemplated ad- ministration program for tax re vision in the coming year. He did say, however, that the federal gov ernment was working under a pro- gram which involves eXtinguishing a half billion of the tpublicA debt each year." and asserted that the payments which the British govern ment will make under the British American debt settlement will oor- respondingly relieve the burden upon American taxpayers.
 The President declared no other

 servants who will succeed If they succeed. give them such encourage ment and inspiration as will be rep resented by full measure of hearty appreciation for their efforts"
 The President began to speak at s:51 o'clock, after introduction by Governor Maybry. Previously Sem ator Shoot had introduced to tlV audience Speaker Gillett and Secre- taries Work and Wallace, all mem bers of the party.
 Loud applause and shouts greeted the President as he entered the hall. Che of those who led in the ap- rlause. it was noted. was Heber Grant, head of the Mormon church. who sat on the platform.
 The President concluded his ad- dress shortly before 10 o'clock after declaring that the World war had re- vealed the soul of America and pre- sented with aspirations but that the nation was now drifting back.
 T want America to have something of spiritual ideal" he added. T am seeking American sentiment in favor of an international court of justice. l want America to play her part in helping the world to abolish war"
 The permanent court of interna- tional justice, the President contin- ued, amid applause, IS the longest and most practical step thus far In the history of the world"
 When the loud outburst of cheers which greeted this statement had died away, the President declared he was not preaching pacific policy" but wanted the boys and girls of the nation to believe that "the govern ment has come to a time when 1t will do things to make war less likely"
 American membership in the court could be brought about, Mir. Harding asserted, without surrendering any thing we cherish.
 Let us have a new hope and new promise" he concluded. "so we can say that life is not intended for sac rifice in war, but to be consecrated to the purposes of God"

Runs From Still, Court Declines
 Conuict Hin,
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU
 THE AGE-HERALD

montgomery, Ala. June 26
 The fact that person runs from officers when he is found near a still is not sufficient to convict him of violating the pro- hibition laws. This was the de- cision of the court of appeals Tuesday afternoon in the case of Harland Knight of Randolph county, who had been convicted of distilling and had been given a sentence of eighteen months to two years.
 Evidence showed that Knight was near the still when officers approached and that he ran when ne was commanded to surrender. This was the only evidence against him. The court of ap- peals held this to be insufficient and ruled that the trial court erred in not giving the affirmative charge for the defense.
