Christmas Streets

They glimmer like a splendid wonder
land
And we. like children, thrilling. hand

Can almost, through the tumult. seem
The sound of silver sleigh bells, and
the sound
OF reindeer hoofs shod with enchant-
ed gold
Our hearts are filled with happiness
| untold,
And yet when we have paused to
glance around.
| We see a ragged child, her wee nose
| pressed
Against the brightness of some win
dow glass
We see an outcast SILVER, and we
pass
A slender woman who is thinly
The street are full of life and vivid
glow.
But they are touched with want and
grim despair
The Christmas spirit. throbbing on
Has filled some souls with loneliness

YARBROUGH CASE
 WEARS CLIMAX AS TEST TIMONY ENDS
Jury Will Hold Fate Of Ma con Dentist In It's Hands
 Within A Day

MACON. Ga. Sept. 14.-(By Asso- ciated Press.)-The jury will get the case of Dr. c. A. Yarbrough. charged with being implicated in the flog- ging of R. F. Mills here last year, at noon tomorrow.
 Arguments in the case were started late today, and when court recessed the solicitor, Roy w Moore, had talked 50 minutes. Attorney w. A. Mcclellan, associate counsel for the defense, had spoken one and a half hours. Each side is to have two and one-half hours, leaving half of the arguments for tomorrow.
 Testimony today continued to at tack the character of state witnesses, with the state countering with testi- mony of the opposite variety.
 Much of the testimony had to do with attempts by the defense to tear down the credibility of w. o. Bar nett, alleged flogging victim, through witnesses who swore that Barnett treated his family badly and beat his wife. Members of Barnett's however, denied that he had been neglectful..
 With completion of the Yarbrougn trial, 1t was expected tonight that the state would open on Monday with tliaa or & c'ts. ssc aS%ifsst ore oN the ether defendants. Ie was thought probable that the case of J. F. Alex ander will be heard next. Besides the case of Alexander. there are six other charges against Dr. Yarbrought and charges against J. D. Patrick, J. E., Bloodworth, w. F. Delamar and J. C., S. R. and c. K. Hudson.

Egalite. of New York, lost off Trinidad several days ago. The vessel also brought news of the loss of the Vimy, sister ship of the Ega- lite, the two schooners going down within a short time of each other, ac- cording to the information given by members of the crew reaching this port.
 Whether any lives were lost when the Vimy went down was not known by the seaamen arriving here.
 The schooners were owned by Davis Cohen & Co.,, of New York. it was stated, this was the maiden voyage of the Egalite. Captain Emile Bonomo, master of the ship, discharged by the crew after reaching Mobile today, and left at once for New York,
 The survivors of the wreck told of their terrible suffering during sev- eral days in an open boat at sea be- fore they reached san Domingo City, Dominican Republic. and were finally taken on board the Hancock County.
 The Egalite cleard from Brighton August 22 with cargo of asphaltum In bulk for Tampa, Fla, and the fol- lowing day a leak was sprung by settling of the cargo in a heavy sea. The crew worked night and day with steam and hand pumps to keep the holds clear but on the fourth day were forced to abandon the schooner with 19 feet of water in her holds. They stood by an 1S-foot life boat from o'clock in the morning until , o'clock in the afternoon when the ship listed and sunk. No wireless equipment was carried, and no other ships were sighted.
 The crew put off from the derelict 320 miles south of san Pedro De Macoris, Dominican Republic, and headed for san Pedro with sea bis cult and canned beef from the ship stores and four casks of water.
 They ran into squalls and high running seas and worked al the oars in shifts for four days and nights. They were taken in charge by the American consul at San PtA 70 and were sent to San Domingo City where they were taken s passengers on the County.
 The story of jinx that caused three fatalities and followed the two schOoners from the outset of the maiden trip of the Egalite was told by the crew here this morning.

COOLIDGE SUGGESTS COAL INVESTIGATION
Unfair Methods Would Be Elimi-
 mated By Executive

WASHINGTON. Sept 14.-Presi- dent Coolidge has suggested to the federal trade commission that it in- vestigate possible unfair practices in the coal trade which would tend to increase prices.
 Coal often passes through a num- Der of hands before reaching the consumer, and the President takes the view that some of these dupli- cate handlings could be eliminated as unnecessary.
 Alleged profiteering in anthracite is viewed by the executive as largely a local question. He feels that 1t would be difficult for the federal government to reach into the several states and undertake to say how in- dividuals should conduct their busi ness and that such conditions could be better handled by municipal and state officers.
 The authority of the federal trade commission over unfair practices is believed to be a partial remedy, how ever, and 1t was added that the coal commission is working along the same lines

STATE CAPITAL RUREAul
 THE AGE-HERALD NNoeI,fnOfpr, n q Gor4

The house of representatives Fri day concurred in the senate substi tute for the port enabling act This brought an end to the fight for the development- of Q state seaport at Mobile with funds backed by the states credit. The bill will go to Governor Brandon for approval next Tuesday when the legislature as sembles for it's forty-sixth session. The vote on concurrence in the sem ate substitute was 66 to 20.
 only one address was made against concurrance when the senate sub stitute was returned to the house. It was made by Representative J. Lee Long of Butler. bitter opponent of port development, by the state and one of the leaders of the fight against the original bill, which was passed by the house with a large majority.
 MT. Long charged that the bill was passed by the house without the con- Btitutional majority and declared that before any port improvement bonds are issued for the construction work the issue will be carried to the su- preme court of Alabama for adjudica- tion, In his original fight MT. Long made the same charge. He has con- strued section 213 of the constitu- tion prohibiting the incurring of any new debt except for the repeiling of an invasion or suppression of an in- surrection and then only by a two thirds vote of the legislature as ap- plying to the port amendment.
 Act Held ConstitutionaI.
 The supreme court in it's advisory opinion held that the ratification of the port amendment removed this project from any limitation of section 2lS for the constitution.
 Representative Tyler Goodwin of Montgomery made the only adElr ess fin support of the concurrence. He de- clared that the people Of Alabama had shown their faith in the develop ment of the seaport by the ratifica- tion of the amendment that the issue had been discussed in the legislative halls for many weeks and that the house without delay should concur in the senate amendment.
 The roll was called and e6 voted in favor of concurrence while only 20 voted against it.
 Harry T. Hartwell, docks commis- sioner of Mobile, member of the state harbor commission, issued statement afterwards in which he ex pressed the opinion that the enact- ment of legislation which will pro vide for port development will mean more to the state than can be imagined at this time.
 For years friends of Alabama's seaport have sought this state recog nition'' said MT. Hartwell. ''Tkis is the day they long have sought From this moment the seaport, which Is the property of all the people or Alabama will take on new life and the development will begin. I am firmly convinced that the legislature has written the greatest, most con- structive and most profitable piece of legislation ever enacted by legislature of this state. Alabama's seaport will now take it's place among the leading ports in this ration and will become one of the states greatest assets"
