Gordon Jones, manager of the
United States Cast Iron Pipe and
Foundry company, will present a
movie at the High school auditorium
Monday evening at 8 o'clock, show
ing the patented De Lavaud process
of pipe making, which has been re-
Gently adopted at his plant The film
will also be presented at the Com
munity House of the. Bessemer Soil
Pipe company, on Eighth avenue,
near Twenty fourth street, Monday
evening at. 7:15 o'clock. This film
shows the details of the centrifugal
system of pipe making, which is
being adopted at many of the larger
pipe plants of the DISTRICT.
In addition to making a greater
output possible the deLavaud system
is said to produce a much smoother
pipe than the averatse methods. This
results in raising the grade of the
pipe, adapting it to more uses than
is possible with the rough surfaced
pipe
The presentation of It's film at
both places Monday evening will be
free, and is for the instruction of
of the employees of the company, and
anyone interested in pipe manufac-
ture.

ROTARY TO HAVE BIRTHDAY


ROTARY TO HAVE BIRTHDAY
Bessemer Rotarlans are making
plans for the celebration of the
eighteenth birthday anniversary of
Rotary, which occurs Friday. The
club will entertain members of the
Rotary Ann club Thursday evening
at dinner, this being ladies' night
an annual event, which is to be
combined with the birthday celebra-
ton. An interesting program is be-
ing arranged for this occasion.
Plans are also being. made to re-
cefve the speech to be delivered by
International President Roy Ravens,
which will be broadcasted by radio
Friday evening from Kansas City.
Radio parties are being arranged and
it is expected that there will be new
receiving sets installed for the pur-
pose of getting the speech.
COUNCILS HAVE MIGHTY TASK.
The Tuesday session of the city
council will prove one of the most
interesting that has been held in
some time, it is expected, as several
important matters which have been
hanging fire for several months will
be brought up. This is expected to
include final disposition of the pro-
posed milk ordinance and discussion
of plans to secure a lower water
rate for this city.
The council adopted milk ordi-
nance drawn UP by the Dairymen's
association at the last meeting, re-
jecting milk ordinance offered by
the department of health, through
DIR. ]. D. Bowling. Since then Mayor
II. p. MeTyeire has vetoed the ordi-
nance adopted, sending it back to the
council, and this will come up for
repassage. 1t will require seven
votes to override the veto
City Attorney George Bumgardner
has stated that he would recommend
to the council Tuesday that steps be
taken at once to secure lower
water rate for Bessemer by appeal
to the public service commission. He
will give a short resume OF the data
in his hands in regard to valuation
of the Bessemer water plant, its
earnings, and a comparison with
rates in effect in other cities.
Much interest is attached to both
these matters and a large attend
ance is expected.

Detective Thompson arrested
Hearn yesterday morning at the
St. Gabriel's Church. Scores Of
complaints that money donated for
the church building campaign was
being stolen from a special box in
the rear of the church had reached
detective headquarters and the
two detectives were assigned to
fathom the disappearance.
For several Sundays Detective
Sergeant Thompson has been at
tending mass at the church in order
to keep an eye on the box. Yes
terday while hundreds of men,
women and children were attending
the o'clock mass, Detective
Thompson says he saw Hearn APP

Quietly the detective awaited his

Hearn is being held at the First

fifty years than thirty-eight. Hearn's
refusal to talk indicates, detectives
say, that he may have had former

In addition to the serious in
conveniences incident to an
abrupt change into a climate of

common practice of showering
the President with food should
be prevented.
Owen prepared the funeral
decorations for the Mckinley

served in the same capacity at
the Roosevelt funeral. He has

zeal for the immediate passage of

The influence which finally pro-
vided the weight that pushed the
bill at once into the statute-books

from the East at all. It came from

The alarming fact was that our

Boston-showed a great cooling off
toward the high tariff idea. Now
therefore when a. new President
arrives in Washington accompanied
by sudden apparition called his

when this friend on inspection

inclination toward protected prices

ably natural liking for low prices

in them.
The "irreconcilables" and protec-
tionists have congenital wild
dread Of internationalistic preachers
and importers. They see President
Coolidge with a specimen of each
OF these nenaces right up close to
him.
In an effort to assuage their fears
regarding Mr.. Stearns it is argued
that the interest shown by Mr..
Stearns in Calvin Coolidge seems

fact to be much more like the
friendship of Mark Hanna for
President Mckinley than even like
the friendship of Colonel House for
President Wilson
House was for Wilson because he
regarded Wilson as the destined
great servant of a great cause"
Hanna was for Mckinley because
ne just simply personally adored
Mckinley. Their relationship was
much misrepresented Mckinley de-
MED Hanna many things; and
Hanna went on politically father
ing and mothering him just the
same. He was for the man.
Mr.. Stearns, it is argued, is
similarly just simply for Coolidge
the man. He worships him; and on
the Calvin Coolidge ship, it is said
he does not aspire to be the pilot,
but only devotedly and highly sue

Meanwhile, as for the Rev. Jason
