sion 2, before Justice Hoehling in

coy letter to Harris, which was sent
to the home of Mrs. Fleishman. Mr..
F'leishman, who happened to be
there, took the epistle and receipted
for it in the name of Harris. it was
brought out
With the letter delivered, the in
spectors thought Harris was at the
F1eishman home, and went there to
arrest him. Not finding him, but
seeing the letter, they took it.
The F'leiShmans, through ATTORNEYS
Cromelin and Laws, attacked the
seizure of the letter as unlawful. and
Justice Hoehling ordered its return.
The Indictment for tampering with
the mails followed. The jury delib-
Grated less than one hour before
acquitting the defendants.

SIMS IS URGED

George Bondurant Sug- gests Name As Ideal
 For Place

Henry Upson Sims was urged Fri day for election to the park and re- creation board in a letter sent mem bers of the city commission and the newspapers by George F. Bondurant, referee in bankruptcy for the north Alabama district of federal court. A vacancy now exists on the board due to the refusal of two board mem bers, M. P. Phillips and Elmer Thus ton, to confirm the commissions action in re-electing Lewis Bowen. MT. Sims is now on a trip to Europe. < Mir. Bondurant wrote as follows:
 q most respectfully suggest that MT. ing press that there is a vacancy in the Prak board.
 q most respectfully suggest htat Mir. H. H. Sims be nominated for this vacancy.
 "The future of the library is one of the questions pending before this board. You will remember that Mir. H. u. Sims voluntarily gave to the public library of Birmingham $50,000 and hence the library has been benefited through this gift 50 times more than it has through any gift of any citizen of the city.
 "Mr. Sims needs no commendation by anyone. The citizens of Birming- ham will be highly pleased at this nom- ination, I am sure.
 q have not consulted Mir. Sims about this matter, and therefore do not know whether he will accept the nomination or not"

HUGE CORPORATION

American Capital To Operate
 Power Company

After Friday, the Alabama Traction, Light and Power company which came into existence many years ago and which fathered the water power de- velopment of this state ceased to ex- ist. The company will be succeeded by the Southeastern Power and Light company of Maine which has been been formed in the latter state to take over the assets and liabilities of the veteran company.
 A meeting of the stockholders of the present company was held in Montreal, Canada, on Friday following call is- sued some time ago by w. J. Hen- dersOn, secretary. At this meeting the stock of Alabama Traction, Light and Power company was exchanged for stock in the company organized in Maine, and with that accomplished the Alabama Power company, now owned by the Alabama Traction, cases to be an alien organization. The interchange of stock and the technical details of the meeting Friday were primarily for the purpose of divesting the Alabama Power and it's associated company of foreign ownership.
 Officials of the old and new com panies of this district attended the meeting Friday in Montreal at which time the directors of the Alabama Traction retired and a new family of officials were named for the company formed in Maine.
 It was stated officially in Birming- ham that the change will not affect the operations of the Alabama Power company in any particular nor will there be any changes in the present personnel of the company. The meet ing, so far as the local company is concerned, was routine.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The United States government has received a protest from Japan against proposed legislation pending in Congress that would bar all Japanese immigration to this country.
 This is the second protest received recently by the state department from the Tokio government.
 Japan made representations early last month against aiti-alien lands laws of California and W as.iington prohibiting JaDanese from ht lding land. Ambassador Hanihara. one of the tJapanese envoys here, requests in the preseut note that the American gov eminent give early consideration xa Japans representations on both the anti-alien land laws and immigration questions.
 This request was interpreted in some quarters as a bil for negotiations be- l tween the two Jvernments looking to ia comtlete settlement of the two troublesome questions.
 However. it is known that some high American officials believe that the pro- tes;s have heen made hy Japan almost entirely lOk domestic reasons, to allay pnpular agitation in that country over discrimination against Japanese in the United States. and that the Japanese government does Eot intend to press the question:
