 The coaches will cost from $4,000 to $5,O00 each, and two will be put on now and added to as the necessity arises. The fare per passenger will not be over 10 cents and each coach will hold from IS to 20 passengers.
 Work will be first begun east of Broad street, followed by the western portion of Alabama and Selma streets, and into the residence section as soon as the work can be inaugurated.
 This will be a distinct step forward for Selma. The coaches will be com fortable, running on special routes on schedule time, for the convenience of large number of people.
 The street railway is protected from jitney or other lines running at less than 20 cents per passenger, and gives up none of it's rights or franchises.

ground that he thought it possible that the interstate commerce commission's decision was not absolutely final.
 "At that hearing in Birmingham, MT Sib1ey frankly stated to a member of the Alabama commissions staff, and in the presence of witnesses, that he thought the proposed scales were as low as could be expected in Alabama; that he favored them; but that outside pres. sure had been brought to bear upon him to his great embarrassment and pre- vented him from going upon the stand and formally requesting the Alabama commission to adopt these rates.
 Proposes New Scale
 "A postponement was granted, and the matter finally came on for hearing before the commission in Montgomery, and to the great surprise of everybody who was acquainted with Mir. Sibley's previous declarations, he appeared and offered an entirely different scheme of rates-one that would have completely had been evolved from the long consid- eration of the subject and that would have absolutely nullified all the con structive work that had been accom- plished. At this hearing, Mir. Sibley finally revealed his purpose. He had little feeling for what his competitors paid, or what other communities in Ala bama had to pay, just so his own plants were protected. He calmly and cooly proposed that some of the rate burden be lifted from the commodities which he ships and placed upon hollow building tile, which enters into com petition with his commodities.
 "He went further, in grouping ar engagement which he advocated in the Birmingham industrial district, and asked the commission to increase the rates applicable from the plant at Ems ley Gone of his competitors) two hup- dred per cent in order that the rates from-his own plants, located much fur ther away, might be held down to the same rates. In fact, in his proposed grouping arrangement, he wanted the plants located within a few miles of Birmingham to pay as high rate into that market as plants located practi- cally sixty miles away. The commis- sion did not approve such grouping it accorded the nearby plants a some what lower rate than the more distant plants (among> the latter being plants owned by Mir. Sibley) and to this he objects. Rather than face

adoption. The lawyer who represented Mir. Sibley in this case went before the Georgia commission representing the brick and clay products interests of that state and asked the Georgia con- mission to prescribe the very rates that the Alabama commission prescribed.
 'The people of Alabama should know, too, that the new rates do not mean in creases only. There are many reduc- tions. There will be very substantial reductions on some of the important commodities used by the building trade in Birmingham and elsewhere. There had been developed in recent years nu- merous materials that had not been given proper rates. These industries had struggled against odds waiting for the time to come when they would be accorded justice. That has been done

was made to disrupt the uniform brick list, but the sole effort was to see that the revision did not result in any in crease in revenues to the carriers on this class of traffic.
 'sThis revision had for its purpose the elimination of all discriminations and preferences in the rates on these commodities in southern territory and to place all communities, whether manufacturing or consuming, upon an equality, distance considered. No one understood this better than MT. Sibley. He knew that such a revision was prop err; that if the south developed as it should the old discriminations and pref erences that had literally honeycombed the rate structure in this territory for years would have to be removed and he knew that in order to do this, no mat ter who undertook the task, some in creases would have to be made in tha depressed rates-in order to reduce the peak rates.
 Private Motive Charged
 Subsequent events have very plain ly indicated to those familiar with the subject, that MT. Sibley's real object was to secure the removal of every manufacturers preference but his own.
 The interstate commerce commission rendered a decision in the case before it last April and, while retaining the uniform brick list in tact, prescribed different scales of rates from those pre- viously published by the carriers. In doing so, it frankly stated that they were the lowest scales of rates for gen eral application on these commidities in effect in the United States. Failing to obtain a rehearing or modification of the order of the interstate commerce commission in this case, the carriers came before the Alabama commission (going before all the other state com missions of the southeast at the same time) and asked that the scales which the interstate commerce commission had prescribed for interstate traffic in southern territory be adopted for ap- plication on intrastate traffic in order to prevent discrimination and prefer ence as between state and interstate commerce. The Alabama commission set the matter down for hearing in Birmingham in order to be more con- venient for MT. Sibley and the other manufacturers of that district. The lawyer representing Mir. Sibley request ed postponement solely upon the

bama commission in its efforts to revise the Alabama rate structure on all com modities so as to remove discrimina- tions and preferences that have served to retard the development of many sec tions of the state and have bene clearly and unmistakably condemned by public sentiment everywhere, except with those who are the beneficiaries of preferences, is very difficult. It requires extreme care, the adherence to those principals of judicial procedure that the law has demonstrated to be the safest for the development of true facts and the ut most concentration and study.

 'The public should know that Mir. Sibley, in his attack upon the commis- sion, does not represent the unanimous sentiment of the brick and clay prod ucts industry of the state. At least three of the plants located in the Bir- ningham district were represented at the hearing before the Alabama com mission and heartily approved the rates which the commission prescribed. The traffic managers of the Montgomery Chamber of Commerce and the Mobile Chamber of Commerce likewise ap- proved the rates and asked for their

 "Mr. Sibley wants to appeal to civic organizations and to the good women of the state to win his case through the ballot. Evidently his wish is father to the thought. When they undertake to do this, they will have to condemn the commission for prescribing lower scales of rates on these commodities than are in effect in other sections of the United States; they will have to be prepared to abandon the Jeffersonian maxim of Equal rights to all and special priv ileges to none," and they will have to be prepared to practice the art of men, tai somersaulting to follow the vacillat- ing leadership of MT.

ident John c. Toole in taking the New
ark franchise from Michael McTghe,
who purchased it recently.
McTighe was ordered BY the other
club owners Of the league to post
S25,O00 bond at noon Saturday as as
surance that he would find bali park
in Newark and fulfill the obligations
Of a club owner. When McTighe
failed to post the bond, Toole declared
that the franchise automatically re-
verted to William A. Ashton and Ber-
nard Moan, its former owners.
McTighe then issued statement
saying that the demand Of the club
owners for the posting Of the bond was
illegal and that he would seek court
action to prevent the transfer Of the
franchise back to its former owners.
McTghe said he fe'i sure of his le-
gal ground and that he could obtain an
injunction which would prevent the
International League from operating
in Newark under any other direction
than his own.
At present, the Newark club has no
manager and no playing field. The

McGraw Admits He Made
Bentley Valuable Man
by picking" Opponents

Sarasota, Fla, Mar. 15.-"Jacl
Bentley is not a great pitcher but
n valuable one. His style against
certain clubs is most effective
against others he is the easies:
kind of picking. Bentley is a pitch
er for whom you must pick the
spots to get winning results. Pos
sibly. he would be of greater value
to the Giants if played in the out
field or at first, so as to get the
advantage of his hitting. How
ever, the weakness of my pitching
staff makes it necessary that l
use Bentley in the box"
In response to a query as to the
ability Of Jack Bentley, Manager
McGraw of the Giants so sized
up his $1,000 southpaw.
A glance at the National League
pitching records reveals what Me-
Graw meant when he said it was
necessary to tpick the spots for
Bentley. Jack won Is games in
the National League and six of
them, almost half of his victories,
were at the expense of the lowly
Philadelphia Nationals.
