DEALERS NAMED
 IN EGG CHARGES
Sold Cold Storage Prod uct As Fresh, Say
 Inspectors

A campaign against the sale by deal CTS of cold storage not labeled as such was started Tuesday, when II. M. Robertson, supervisor of the division of agricultural chemistry, state depart met of agriculture, and J. H. Oswalt, in spector of the department of agriculture and industries, appeared before Judge H. B. Abernathy of the Jefferson county court of misdemeanors, and filed charges against several dealers, alleg- ing they violated section 6, article lO, of the agricultural laws of Alabama.
 This section of the law says that cold storage eggs advertised and dis played for sale, sold or delievered and not properly marked or lettered in conspicuous manner that the eggs were cold storage eggs, is violation of law
 The dealers named in the charges are: J. A. Morris of the Sanitary Market, Morris Cohen and the Qual- ity Market, R. L.. Stapleton of the Standard Market and J. M. Morrison of the Economical Market. Judge Aber- nathy fined each dealer $1O and costs.
 MT. Robertson said Tuesday night that the department of agriculture is re- quiring all dealers to comply with the state law, and will immediately take action against all dealers who violate this section.

] TRIAL
 TODAY, PROSECUTOR
At2rney Asserts Alleged Slayer May Change
 Insanity Plea

The trial, which may send Robert Dewey Edwards to the gallows for slay. ing his 1S-year-old sweetheart, Miss Imogcne Lee, will start beforeNC Circuit Judge William B. Fort at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, Solicitor Jim Davis announced Tuesday night.
 The trial, expected to become bat tie of alienists, will be one of the most sensational ever heard in Jefferson county and Solicitor Davis asserted that six or seven days may be required before a verdict is reached.
 On one side there will be Solicitor Davis with his assistants with the an nounced intention of asking the jury to compel Edwards to pay for his crime with his life. On the other side will be Judge Felix Alley, noted criminal attorney of Waynesboro, N. C., and Fred H. Woodward, who will use ev- cry legal means to prove Edwards in- sane, and therefore be sent to the insane hospital at Tuscaloosa instead of to the gallcws. 4.4
 Alienists To Testify
 Between the legal forces will be Dr. W. M. Faulk, his assistant, and Dr. H. $. Ward, an expert on mental and nervous diseases. The first three alien ists have been appointed by Judge Fort to examine Edwards, and although they have made no announcement of their findings, are expected to play a big part in the prosecution. Dr. Ward is the only local defense alienist. although several physicians from Virginia and Georgia are likely to testify to Edwards mental condition.
 Tn addition to the expert witnesses, Solicitor Davis is thought to have sev- eral surprise witnesses ready to take the stand, whose testimony may prove damaging to Edwards. This will be opposed by the testimony of Edwards former wife, who is coming to Birming- ham to testify as to the alleged weak ened mental condition of the slayer.
 Edwards is said to have deserted her at the time their child was born several years ago, and, according to attorneys in the case, her object in testifying is to save her small son from carrying the stigma of abranded father.
 New Angle
 A new angle in the case developed in court Monday, during the docket call, when MT. Woodward announced that Edwards desired to plead guilty and to accept his punishmenty' Edwards, ac- cording to Woodward, denied being in- sane.
 Since the shooting in Central Park several months ago. Edwards has re- fused to discuss the case with anyone and has been living the fife of recluse in the jail, having but little communi- cation of any kind with his fellow pris- oners. At the time the shooting took place, Edwards took poison and was confined tc the HilIman hospital for four weeks.
 After being transferred to the county jail, he refused to leave his cell and for a time, was so weak that he required assistance in mounting the jail stairs However, when in court Monday. he was dressed in a freshly-pressed suit of clothes and seemed to take considerable pride in his personal appearance.

BUSH ANNOUNCES

Combined To Be Operated As Alabama By-PrOd-
 ucts Corporation

George B. Mccormack has been elect ed chairman of the board of the Ala bama By-Products corporation, follow ing the merger of the Pratt Consoli dated Coal company with the latter company, it was announced Tuesday 1T an official statement. Carr McCormacl has been named vice president.
 The formal statement issued by Pres ident Morris Bush follows:
 '"The merger of the properties ant business of the Pratt Consolidated Goa company with that of the Alabama By PrOudcts corporation has been completed and the business will be carried on un der the name of the Alabama By-Prod ucts corporation, the directors of which are M. w. Bush, H. Hammond, A. F Bush, H. l.. Morrow, c. B. Mccormack Erskine Ramsay and Carr Mccormack The officers are G. B. Mccormack chairman of the board of directors Morris w.

The budget estimates for national defense, including funds necessary for the military activities of the war and navy departments, were a decrease of $29,000,000. ,s
 Further Reduction Possible
 ''This reduction IS made in accord ance with my belief that we can have adequate national defense with more modest outlay of the taxpayers money, Mir. Coolidge said. Further study may point the way to additional reduction without weakening our national de- fence, but rather perfecting it. This nation is at peace with the world. We no longer have international competi- tiOn in naval construction of major units. We are concerned primarily with maintaining adequate prepared ness. We should have adequate pre- paredness in 1926 within the limits of the amount recommended"
 The President indicated again his growing conviction that the basis for this country's defense lies more and more with aviation. He pointed out that the Outstanding weakness in the industrial situation as it affects na- tional defense is the inadequacy of fla cilities to supply air service needs. :" He called attention to the fact the budget provided total of $3S,945, ,000 for the air service maintained, by the army, navy and air mail.
 $3,OOO,OOO For Shoals
 The budget recommended 56,237, ; GOO for rivers and harbors. Major items mentioned by the President in cluded $10,500,O00 for flood control on the Mississippi and Sacramento rivers and $3,040, ,39O to complete Dam No. , at Muscle Shoals.
 The amount set aside for soldiers bonus fund in 1926 was only $500OO,- 900. The President said veterans ap- plications had so far been below the number expected and that if the appli- cation increased unexpectedly a supple mental estimate could. make up the amount required.
 In pointing out the necessity of ap- propriating $109,000,O00 for federal aid to states, MT. Coolidge voiced his viz orous disapproval of state aid.
 Opposes State Aid
 'I am convinced that the broadening of this field of activity is detrimental he said. Efficiency of federal oper-  duly enlarged. Efficiency of state gov ernments is impaired as they relinquish and turn over to the federal govern ment responsibilities which are right. fully theirs. I am opposed to any ex- pansion of these subsidies. My con viction is they can be curtailed with benefit to both the federal and state governments"
 In connection with his Tecommenda- tion of $9,777,257 for reclamation, the President urged the enactment of the new reclamation bill now before Con- gress.
 Debt Cut $1,O9S, ,S94,S75
 MT. Coolidge reported the public debt had been reduced $1,O9S, ,S94, ,375 during the fiscal year ending June 30. 1924, bringing it down to total of $21 ,250, 0,S12,9S9. This reduction de- creased the annual interest charge by approximately $45,OO0,OOO. Interest paid during the fiscal year 1921 amounted to $94O, 100000 and he esti- mated this interest charge would be $S65, 100000 in 1925 and $S3O, ,OOO, ,0OU in 1926 making a reduction in this item during the two years of $110.0O0,0O0.

One great thrill was registered on the camera of my emotions this morning. The unholy racket of an approaching fire engine stopped me dead at the cor ner of Forty-sixth street. Fifth ave- nue was jam full of traffic. Every car stopped with a squeal. Policemen ran into the stream, wildly waving hands. Down Forty-sixth street came the en- zine. Mammoth, red and gold and sil- yer and black. firemen crawling into their clothes all over it, bell changing and whistle going, heavy-shouldered man twisting at the wheel.
 "Yee-ee-eee-eeee," we all squealed.
 That engine turned the corner at top speed. on two wheels. The tail of it missed the nearest taxicab by the length of your foot. On its heels came other engines and the salvage wagons and a police patrol. All blattering, changing, ringing, whistling, snorting. Not one missed that taxicab by more than six inches. Not one hit it.
 And inside it, all this time, sat pret- ty girl painting his lipe through the aid of a mirrorl
