WANT TAX PLAN
 COMPROMISE

WASHINGTON, Jan. H.-While the house ways and means committee cleared the way today for considera- ton of the new tax rates schedules house majority leaders sounded out the administration and their party mem bers for possible compromise on the Mellon bill, particularly as regards the surtax rates.
 Before calling a meeting of the ma jority members of the committee for tomorrow to map out a program for study of the new rates, Chairman Green discussed the. tax situation with President Coolidge and pointed out difficulties confronting the adoption of the tax rates proposed by Secretary Mellon.
 Although Mir. Green later indicated no change in the administration stand for the major principles of the Mellon bill, Representative Longworth, ma jority leader, who announced he had conferred with o.

Potash And Perlmutter" At
 Trianon One Of Year's Best

One of the most remarkable motion pictures of the year opened an engage ment at the Trianon theatre last night. It is Potash and Perlmutter," and it is First National picture, having been produced from the famous stage play by Montague Glass and Charles Klein.
 The writer went to the Trianon in high anticipation. For many years he had been an avid reader of the stories in the Saturday Evening Post, and he had looked forward to seeing Abe Pot ash and, Morris Perlmutter come to life op the, screen. He knew that the screen version could not be otherwise than good, but he was not prepared for the high degree of entertainment that he saw on the silversheet. In brief, he did not know that a movie" could be so good. That sis why it is called a remarkable picture"
 A few seconds after the main title was flashed on the screen there arose a litter among the audience. A min ute later it had expanded into a roar of laughter which grew. constantly in volume and{ remained practically con-

 It was announced Monday by P. H. Tyler, president of the association, that any move considered detriment to Ensley or a backward step in the onward march of this section would be strenuously opposed by the mer- chants. MT. Tyler suggested that the association members were not fully ac- auainted with the details of the pro posed abandonment, but from common talk there were many features of the proposition which were unattractive and after a full discussion the associa- ton would send a memorial to the city commission setting forth their ideas re- garding the proposal.

THREATEN
 TO MINE HARBOR

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2l.-Mexican rebels will mine the aarbors of Vera Cruz and other ports if the United States permits the warship Bravo, owned by the Obregon government and recently repaired and munitioned at New Orleans. to sail for the purpose of attacking rebel ports.
 This announcement was made at the offices of De Ia Huerta agents here in response to the warning of Secretary of State Hughes against the laying of mines.
 Alvarez Del Castillo. diplomatic agent of the De h Huerta government here, explained that if the harbors were mined. the rebel authorities would provide safe conduct through the mine fields to all legitimate neutral ships. This was construed as a reservation permitting the rebels to refuse escort to any ship found to be carrying ammu- milton for the Obregon government. Del Castillo thought it unlikely that it would be necessary to mine the ports. but insisted upon the right of the rebel authorities to do so, provided they offered safe conduct to neutral ship ping.

BANQUET IS HELD
 BY AERO SQUADRON

In a spirit reminiscent of their days in France, Birminghams aero squadron Tuesday night celebrated its second year with a farewell banquet to its retiring commanding officer, Maj. James A. Meissner.
 In the many speeches high tribute was paid to the work and efforts of Major Meissner in behalf of the squad ron, the major being one of its first organizers.
 In reply Major Meissner told some thing of the aims and purposes of the organization and its history The air service was recognized as one of the most important branches of the service, he said, and in the future would be even more important.
 Two years ago tonight the squadron was started in Birmingham, but the start was only the beginning of the hard work" Major Meissner said He then spoke of the difficulties the squad ron had to overcome before it was really in operation; how the flying field, the hangers and ships were ob- tained and how the intermediate period of hard work was borne until they were assured of success.
 In ending, Major Meissner praised the work of the men, giving them the credit for the success enjoyed by the organization and stating that because of the high ideals of its future com manding officer, Capt. w. Y. M. Rob ertson, Jr, he was sure that it would grow even stronger.
 Among other speakers on the pro gram were Capt. Sumpter~ Smith, toast master; Lander Sevier, Henry Land grebe.s Lieut.. B. A. Coyle, R. c. Ball D. E. McLendon, Maj. Roy Brown Robert H. Snapps.
