BLUESkY LAW
 HELD INHALED
tcsntinusd from Page one)

Oates of the state securities commis- sion announced immediately that they would appeal the decision of Judge Fort to the state supreme court. Court officials predicted that it would be carried to the United States supreme court.
 Mir. Oates said he wished to obtain final ruling on the constitutionality of the law in orde4 to know how to dispose of other cases that may be tried under it in future He. said let ters of inquiry had been received by his department from all sections of the state asking him to explain its provisions. In one case, he said, he had spent six weeks obtaining suffi- cient information in regard to it to be able to answer such communication.
 Appeal to a higher court by the state is possible in this case because of special provision for appeal of cases involving constitutionality of a law, court officials pointed out Wednes- day. It is practically the only excep- tion to the rule against trying a per- son a second time for an offense of which he has been acquitted.
 Judge Forts decision is expected to influence the outcome of many simi- lar cases, not only in Alabama but in several other states as well. At least four other states, Virginia, Kansas, Oklahoma and Ohio, have laws simi- lar to the Alabama blue sky law; and several convictions have been ob- tained under them. If the decision of the Alabama supreme court is not appealed to the United States supreme court, the status of these cases tried under state laws will not be affected i; but if, as appears certain, the ques- tion is carried to the United States supreme court, all cases treid under them will be nullified, if Judge Forts ruling in the present case is sustained.
 Indictment Faulty
 In addition to sustaining the de- murrers of attorneys for the defense in the matter of the constitutionality of the blue sky law, Judge Fort ruled that the grand jury indictments were not sufficiently specific, in that they aids not define fully the nature of the transactions, such as the amount of profit made by officials of the com pany and the names of persons al- legged to have been defrauded.
 Judge Fort made it plain that he was in hearty sympathy with the spir- it of the blue sky law and thought such a law was needed in every state to protect citizens from fraud. His ruling, he said, was based on conflict between its terms and those of the state and national constitutions.
 The new Alabama code is now in the hands of the printers" he said. Tt contains a blue sky law which cannot be attacked as unconstitution- al. All the weaknesses of the pres ent law have been eliminated.

SENATE DABATE
 DELAYS ACTION
tc.ntinusd frsm Pas. One,

amendment will be taken up Thursday
 Meanwhile the House naval affairs committee developed set of facts which amazed the congressman. Sec. retary of the Navy Denby, it appeared from testimony of naval officers, has been using oil royalties from the Tea. pot Dome and California reserve for an elaborate program of building naval oil bases to cost nearly $50,O00, 900. Testimony Is Important
 This came as shock to the con- gressmen who had supposed that, Con- gress alone is empowered under the constitution to authorize naval ex- penditure. If any attempt is made to impeach Secretary Denby, this testi- mony will play conspicuous part in it for many congressman believe he ex- ceeded his constitutional authority in thus diyerting his oil revenues without first turning them into the treasury and obtaining authorization for ex- penditures from Congress.
 Rear Admiral Gregory. chief of the bureau of yards and docks, told the committee that the following projects, under construction or in contemplation, are to be paid for out of oil royalties :

 While Congress thus whiled away the day. Silas H. Strawn, the republi- can special counsel chosen by Cool. idge to join former Attorney General Gregory in the special prosecution, be- gan collecting data. He first spent two hours at the White House with Coolidge. Then he went to the capi- tol, where he conferred with Chairman Lenroot of the investigating commit tee, and Senator Walsh, who has been conspicuous in pressing the present in. quiry. He obtained files of the com mittee's testimony which he will study pending the arrival of Gregory, when actual work will begin.
 The Senate committee is undecided about questioning ex-Secretary Fall Falls four physicians reported to the committee that he was on the point of nervous breakdown, but the com. mittee is skeptical and is sending its own doctors out to exapine Fall. Then it will decide whether to question him at his bedside or compel him ito ap pear in person at the Senate.

MOTHER WALKS 1000 MILES TO
 SONS BEDSIDE

DETROIT, Jan. 30.--Afrs. Mary Hansen watches at the bedside of her son, Joseph, here today after walking more. than 1000 miles from her home in Sioux Falls, s. D., t. take care of him.
 Three weekseago Mrs. Hansen re- ceived word that her son was ill here. She started out on foot to come to this city and with the aid of motorists along the way, arrived late yesterday. Mrs. Hansen's eld- est son was lieutenant in the World war and was killed in the Argonne forest. American Legion posts and auxiliaries for this reason, she said, helped her along the way.
 This is the second trip Mrs. Han sen has made on foot for her son Joseph. Some time ago she walked from Montana to Washington to ap- peal to the late President Harding in behalf of the young man when he was a prisoner at Leavenworth, Kan, federal prison. She says she was former resident of Marion, Ohio, and knew the late President when he was learning the printing trade

LEADING NATION
 ON STREET CARS.
Birmingham Ahead Of Other American Cities In
 Operations

Birmingham Railway, Light and Power eompanw-str Ncar operations led practically all American cities in the 100000 population class during the last six months of 1923, according to figures announced Wednesday by the American Electric Railway association of New York city.
 Birmingham street cars during this period ran 61S.s75 hours, or 3. .4S2A car hours per 1000 population. which Is the greatest per capita operation shown by any city in the published list except four, where the figures included the service on interurban lines and on the elevated. Omaha, credited with 3,052. 2 car hours per 1000 population, was Birmingham's nearest competitor. The larger cities-C Chicago with 2,507.2 car hours, Philadelphia with 2,604.9 and St. Louis with 3,163.7, all fell behind the Birmingham record. :.
 Car hours'' is the term commonly used by public utilities to measure service It denotes the aggregate num- Der of hours which the total number of street cars operate and is considered an equitable index to operations.
 New Cars March 1 ;
 Twenty new cars now under con- struction in the plant of the Cincinnati Car company in Cincinnati, Ohio, will reach Birmingham about March l, ac- cording to present indications. T G. Brabston, superintendent of the traffic department, states that when these cars arrive still further improvement in the service should follow.
 Time interval between cars has been reduced on practically every line in Birmingham within the past few months, according to- Mir. Brabson. This closer headway has resulted in much faster service, which has been further facilitated by the installation of the new signal light system in the down. town district.
 "Since the new signal system was in- stalled, cars pass through the business district much more rapidly than for merly." says Mir. Brabston.s We are pow.often able to load two cars at one time. Passengers show a sympathetic appreciation of the efforts of motormen to move their cars while the green lights are turned, and get on and off much more quickly than they did be- fore"
 Personnel of the traffic department has been increased about 40 per cent during the past six months, it is stated. The largest number of conductors and motormen on the pay roll of the com pany's previous history was 500. Motor men and conductors now number about 700.
 Expenditure on ways, tracks and equipment during the six months period has aggregated approximately quar- ter of million dollars. This work is constantly in progress, it is stated, and is effecting a widespread improvement in the entire system.
