RAIL BOARD ISSUE
 MAY MEAN PROFIT FOR BIRMINGHAM
L. & N. Has Vital Interest In Viaduct Plans
 Here

The Louisville & Nashville railway company will sell $16,000,000 in bonds Monday to a syndicate headed by J. P. Morgan & Co.,, of New York, 1t be- came known here Sunday. The money will be used for betterments and exten- sions. The latter stipulation will as- sume unusual interest in Birmingham on account of the vast interests here of the line and the friendship always borne this community by the Louis vile 6 Nashville operators. It is be- lieyed that the sale of the bonds at this time, at a figure said to be very attractive, win have a valuable effect upon local industrial and business cir cles, and will prove to be another indi- cation, added to the many of the past week, all going to show that conditions are steadily climbing upward.
 Just at this time, the Louisville & Nashville railroad is one of the prfn- cipals in the extensive viaduct negotia- tions engaging the attention of city off, ficials and railway engineers, and por4 tion of the money obtained Monday may find it's way to Birmingham.
 It is also q generally accepted idea that the Louisville & Nashville has several very ambitious projects in view at this time involving the Birmingham district, and the suggestion has been made that the plan to sell a bond is- sue was concerned with the Birmingham and other plans of the company.

CLOUDS ON MARS
 ARE DISCLOSED
Planet Is Habitable, Says Flagstaff Observatory
 Director ,

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Aug. 24.-The presence of steam or vapor arising from melting polar caps and appearance of clouds on the surface, establishing the fact that atmosphere exists on Mars, have been the outstanding developments in the study of the planet at Lowell observatory here during the present ob- servation, V. NJ. Slipher, observatory director, said today.
 The planets surface is divided into red okrae and blue green regions. The red portions have the same appearance as the earth's desert regions and are lit- tie affected by changing seasons, but the blue green districts, which some as- tronomers have cOntended were seas, show tint changes at different seasons, declared Director Slipher.
 The present theory is that these blue green regions are vegetation, either for ests, grasslands or great fields producing in season, for they lat>r fade out and in some secti ns change tC a chocolate brown color.
 Changes in the dark areas, however, do not take place until the polar cap of snow and ice begins to recede, which substantiates the theory of vegetation which appears to await water before showing earth. This is in keeping with a theory advanced many years ago, Mir. Slipher said.
 While we have no proof whatever that Mars is inhabited by animal life of any kind, it is our belief that it is habitable, as it has all necessary ele- ments and conditions to sustain life, y the director added.
 Dr. w. w. Coblentz of the United States bureau of standards, who for some weeks past has been studying Mars from the Lowell observatory, an. nounced today that the temperature of Mars probably is somewhat lower than that of the earth, but sufficiently warm to support vegetation and permit habi. tatiOn.

ERSBERGER SLAYER FOUND IN BUDAPEST
Officer Is Identified At Hein-
 rich Schulse

BUDAPEST, Hungary, Aug. 24- One of the four German officers re- gently taken into custody on suspicion of having assassinated Matthias Frs berger, the former German vice pre- mier and minister of finance in Aug ust, 1921 has been identified as Hein- rich Schulse, one of the slayers, by a German criminal expert sent to Buda- pest by Berlin authorities.
 Extradition of the man has been re- quested by the German government, if they are identified as those connected with the murder, but this may be re- fused on the grounds that they are po- litical, instead of common offenders and particularly as Germany has not delivered any of the refugees wanted by Hungary for crimes committed dur ing the Bolshevik regime.
 A despatch from Berlin in February 1922, reported that Heinrich Schulse and Heinrich Tillesen, alleged murder CTS of former Minister Erzberger, were living in Budapest under the full pro. tection of Hungarian officials and monarchist sympathizers and that, two German detectives had been prevented from serving warrants for their arrest

Wales Keeps Complete List
 Of His Proposed Princesses
Prince Not Here To Fall Off More Horses, Mem
 Der Of Household Declares

, these are now pouring in at the rate | of about 90 a day. He will probably | play little polo while he is there, but he will not, as has been stated, take part in any of the practice games If the British team. He also hopes to get in little golf, which is really his favorite pastime, hunting coming second n his estimation. At the conclusion of his visit the prince will cross from Long Island to New London, Conn, and then will travel direct to Alberta by way of Montreal
 The prince is not visiting his Cana dian ranch because any particular de- tail of its management requires his at- t1nt;oE," stated the official in reply to question. He is going there be- cause it is the only place where he can get real holiday, which he now needs rather badly. He has been in London practically continuously for year, and he has had very heavy summer.
 Mixes Work With Play
 Judging by what has been published in the American press of late, one might imagine that the Prince spent all his time in England falling off horses, and that he was crossing the Atlantic to fall off more horses. The fact is that while the world hears a lot about the prince's play, it hears comparatively little about his work. and that work is very taxing. There is hardly a day in the princes life when he is not called upon to receive long line of visitors, including distinguished foreigners and representatives of the endless societies and organizations of which he is either president of patron. These interviews take up hours of the princes time, but of course they are unmentioned in the newspapers.
 And scarcely a week passes without his royal highness having to take part in a round of important functions, each and every one of them demanding q carefully prepared speech on some more or less technical subject. One day he may be addrssing the British Medical society, the next the Institute of Civil Engineers, the day after that a meet ing of archaeologists, financiers or philanthropists. Naturally, the ground work of many of his royal highness speeches is prepared for hi nobody but a walking encyclopaedia could pos sibly be acquainted with so great a va. viety of subjects as he has to tackle, but in every case he puts the matter WlIH WHICH ne IS pFOFlueu lHCO HIS OWu language, and constant speech-making involves a strain which even he feels in time.
 'He has had fairly strenuous pro- gram, it must be admitted, and it + not surprising if the prince is looking for ward eagerly to his Candadian holiday. You will remember he declared when speaking at the recent Dominion Day diDuar in London fhat Canada h1d a1- ways been "a real tonic to him."

SAN SALVADOR, Aug. 24.-Con- flicting advices on the revolution in Honduras have been received here with both the HonduraS government and the revolutionaries claiming successes.
 An official dispatch from Tegucigal- pa, Honduras, reports that the rebel lion is confined to western Honduras and that loyal troops have inflicted such severe losses upon the rebels as to cause numerous assertions. The rebel line has been cut three points by the gov ernment troops, which have begun an encircling movement.
 Revolutionary advices claim the re- capture of the village of Gracias after a fight with the government forces. which were assisted by civilians. Num- erous casualties were suffered by the federal forces and civilians defending Gracias.
