about linoleum floors. They are

ALLEGED RUNNER
 SHOT BY OFFICERS
Whisky Car Taken By Scouts
 In Arrest

Robert Paterson, negro, SIS Second avenue, north, Ensley, was shot through the leg Thursday afternoon by Motor cycle Scouts Marvin Ellis and W. M. Espy, near the State Industrial school when he is alleged to have attempted to drive a whisky car past the officers.
 George Smith, negro companion, and five gallons of whisky were cap tured by the officers. Peterson was removed to the Hillman hospital under guard and is facing charges of violating the prohibition law. Smith was lodged in the county jail.
 The officers saw the negro coming down the road at high rate of speed and attempted to block him, it was re- ported.
 When he refused to stop both men drew their guns and opened fire. The car crashed into a ditch. Petersons condition is not considered serious at the hospital.

Land Deal Of Interest

Announcement Thursday morning of the sale by J.: W. Mcqueen of the Sloss company and associates of a large piece of Fairfield acreage for about $1O0,O created intense local interest. This was especially true when it was suggested that the new owners are said to be closely associated with the Tennessee company and its allied interests. It is thought that the extension to the prop. critics of the Tennessee company plan of home-owning will hasten not only the modernization of the properties but will enable the new owners to provide about POO homes in that section at a cord-breaking pace.

Conhine of No Import

Announcement of the formal signing of the German-French steel combine Thursday morning. did not excite the Birmingham district to any extent. The statements that England has refrained from entering the combine is traceable to American influences, it is said. Judge D. H.

Birmingham District Sets Healthy Pace In-
 dustrially

Individual furnace and mining rec ords were broken during October by Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad com pany operations and the general fur mace record also was broken when 127,- 925 tons were produced at all fur naces as compared to a production of 127 ,84 made by all furnaces n'March, 1923.
 The operating conditions at the va rious plants could have been better but apparently the forces hurdled many abnormal difficulties and registered rec ords which are pleasing to the operat- ing chiefs of the company.
 From data obtainable, Wenonah No. 10 lore mine) produced %, 40 tons as against 35,645 in July, 1924. At Ish- kooda No. Il, the production was 31,- 559 tons as compared to 27,608 in Au- gust, 1924. Of the same group No. F registered 18,O4S tons as compared to 17,116 tons. in June, 1917.

Markham Optimistic

Charles H. Markham, president of the Illinois Central railroad, accerdited as being one of the most astute business diognosticians of this country, in an interview says that his line expects to handle an immense increase of traffic now that President Coolidge has been returned to the White House for four additional years. In statement Pres ident Markham points out that all along the line of his companies the buyers have been holding back until the cleo tion was past. He says the buying movement is to be expected without de- lay and unless unforeseen developments take place there will be revival of tremendous prosperity.

A total of 107 1925 tons was mined at Edgewater which is one of the largest and most modern mines in this country. The best previous record was in August when 104,562 tons were brought to the surface.

COOPERATION

The Young Mems Hebrew Association
held Golden Jubilee recently in New
York City. That in itself is nothing ex-
traordirary though golden jubilee
comes but once in hundred years. But
the outstanding fact of this celebration
was those who took part Representa-
tives of the Knights OF Columbus and
the Young Mems Christian Association
appeared on the program which COM
memcrated the Jubilee.
Recently. and this also in New York
City. Protestants. Catholics and Jews as
senlbled to discuss religious training Tor
school children, and though their dis
cussion left them where they were in
the beginning. the fact that they did
have the inclination to get together on
that delicate subject, religion. was a
step towards cooperation in matters un-
related to the particular tenets of their
belief. This was followed up socially
with the jubilee celebration.
Though devoted to divergent standards
of belief, the Hebrew interpretation Of
life, the Catholic, and that section Of
Professionalism embraced by the "evan.
gelical churches" each OF the three or
carnations is identical in aim. that is
the development of high type OF man
1t is we'll that they recognize this com
munity OF interests, and in one place
at least, have come together. Such CO
operation can but work for the strength
and progress of all three.

Is it not pity that the public and
the poor officials are suffering from such

having dealt in the stock but maintains

INSUFFERABLE IMPUDENCE

The American government will make
itself ridiculous if it wastes thought
considering how to get Grover Bergdoll
into prison. Bergdoll is a criminal.
If he is tired of playing the fugitive
in Germany he is welcome to come
back and take his punishment. But
it is insufferable impudence on his
part to suggest that he is open to
proposals from this government Civ
ing him assurance as to exactly what
the punishment will be. He will get
the treatment which the law prescribes,
and he need expect nothing else. He
is common criminal, and not a
plenipotentiary. 1t must be admitted
that Bergdoll is not entirely to blame
for his attitude. The jealous young
officers who flatered him with an at
tempted kidnapping, and the American
Legion, which has actually talked of
entering into an agreement with him,
on what authority it is impossible to
imagine, have justified him in con-
Guiding that he is bird of rather ex-
ceptional Importance. Let there be no
more talk proposals. negotiations and
agreements where Bergdoll is con-
cerned. He can come back when he
is ready. and so to jail.-St. Paul

though it must be admitted that no
police officer was ever one to get a
manicure or a marcellc wave for his
pompadour. Still the fact remained that
men had frequented the beauty parlors"
as women now visited the barber shops.
But the police officer had more deep
rooted complaint. After his round of
a number of shops and after finding wo-
men waiting everywhere, he too de-
cided to wait. In the old days, all he
would have had to do was make him
self comfortable and read the "Polcc
Gazette" But when this policeman

personal matter and is necessary for
continued economic existence. They will
also grant that his purchase of oil stock
from the Sinclair interests may have nc
more connection with the discriminating
suggestion of the investigation. that is
that the big oil companies spread abroad

such to buy stock advantageously. than
| if he purchased cake of soap from the
corner drug store. He could have gone
out in the innocence of his soul and
bought oil stock. as do so many people.
and be in no way implicated in the gen.
eral oil faint over Washington, Then
again he might not. This, further in
vestigation will show.
But one cannot help but be amused.
He is disguised with the whole mess"

Washington, and number of public men
and corporation heads were asked plain

cations, it is not unlikely they would say

IRELAND'S LATEST TROUBLE.

The affairs Of the Irish Free State
are strongly and most unfortunately
muddled again. General Richard Null
cahy, the strongest man in the min
istry,, is forced to resign because he
has been too earnest and active in
suppressing what is nothing less than
mutiny in the army of the Free
State-a mutiny SO serious that it has
made rebels and refugees of several
generals of the army; President Cos
grave, who just now is on a sick bed,
is put in the position not only of TAX
ing personal charge of the ministry OF
defense, which corresponds with our
war and Navy Departments, but of
appearing to condone revolt which
threatens the paralysis of govern
mcnt. Confusion seems to reign in the
Free State Government, at time
when concentration and unity are
surely all-important, if not absolutely
vital.
Events, therefore, seem to point to-
ward grayer disturbances at Dublin.
But there is this cause and material
for hope-the Irish people as whole
want nothing so much as peace, and
in their homes and their villages they
are not likely to encourage return
to the condition of civil war, of which
they have had quite enough. They
want to go to work or to stay at work,
and are likely to sustain PresidentI
Cosgrave in his effort to keep the Free
State on an even keel, even if he}
makes mistakes.
Only the enemies Of Ireland can re-
ioice in condition which affordsI
excuse for scorners to say that theI
Irish people are incapable of self-goy,,
eminent. The country has advanced
in marked way on the road of peace
and industry since the Free State OBJ
tanned the upper hand. The friends OF
Ireland will hope that the government
will be able to weather this Storm
