Ham Stevens victory last week against Elrod over in Mississippi re- calls the fact that Ham began his career in the local amateur wheel. His rapid rise would indicate that Stevens will ultimately follow the trail to the big tops blazed by so many products of Birmingham. He gained fame here first with the Green Springs and Be hrens, now Jordan, Park combinations when he was just out of short pants
 His spectacular leap into fame with Southern Military academy and Howard was nothing of q shock to local friends who had followed his work nor will the eventual major league destiny that seems his be any more of surprise

SECURES PUBLICITY
At OPIUM FARLEY
Porter Wins Fight Against
| Star Chamber Sessions
V at Geneva.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, November 24.-Repre-
sentative Stephen G. Porter of Penn
sylvania, chairman of the American
delegation to the international opium
conference, actively supported by
Cuban, Chinese and Uruguayan dele
gates, won today a clear-cut victory
for publicity in all the committee
meetings of the conference.
All were agreed that the meetings
of the two main commissions should
be public, but the principal produc-
ing and manufacturing states, under
the leadership of India, endeaVored
TO have all the subcommittee meet
ings kept secret.
Fears Public DiStrust.
Mr.. Porter declared there was no
reason why what was going on IN
Geneva should not be public. If the
doors were closed, he said, the only
effect would be to arouse pubic dls-
trust. He favored the system pre-
vailing in the Congress of the United
States, where any committee could go
into executive session when special
conditions justified that course.
Alfred SEE, Chinese Minister to the
United States, said the major part or
the work of the first opium confer
ence, where the results were unsatls-
factory. was done at secret meetings
of subcommittee. He thought it
would be a misfortune to duplicate
this mistake.
The resolution for publicity was
adopted, rs States voting for it, while
England, France, India, Italy, Hol-
land, Portugal, Greece and Swltzer-
land abstained from voting.
Support of Japan.
Delegate Sugimura of Japan in
statement outside the conference TO-
day said Japan would support &C
lively the American proposals con-
corning opium and narcotic drugs
because she believed those proposals
offered the best solution of the prob
lem.
Mr.. Sugimura explained that Japan
was ready to accept, so lar as
Forrnosa was concerned, the American
idea of having opium smoking stop
ned in the Far East within 10 years
and that this idea would be accepted
for the leased territory of kwantuns
If China accepted it for herself.
The Japanese delegate likewise
said the American proposition that
the manufacture of heroin should
be prohibited was agreeable TO
Japan's representatives, who like
wise accepted the American coicep-
ton for a separate board of control
although they might propose some
slight notifications as to the board S
competency.

With echoes of the worlds applause
still ringing in their ears, FIVE OF the

the Office of the chief of air service
today preparing their report to Cen
Patrick and endeavoring to stra1ghten
out the financial problems which at

their 25,000-mile flight.
Lieut.. H. H. Ogden departed from

Smith, commanding officer of the
flight, and Lieut.. Leslie P. Arnold or
Boiling Field, assistant pilot OF the
fiagplane Chicago, motored to Wash
ington from the Ohio city in the big
automobile given Arnold by the city
of Chicago. They arrived here Sat
urday night, while Lieuts. Eric Nelson,
Leigh Wade and Jack Harding. jr.,
made the journey by train. They
reached Washington yesterday after
noon.
Capt Smith said today the next two
or three weeks would be spent at
desk work in the chiefs Office and
then the much-needed leave of about
three months would be taken. The
officers are quartered at various
places throughout the city, but in a
few days hope to get together in one
bunch.

Labor's Revolt From Domination.

! AS developments rapidly occur 1t
becomes evident that the movement
in labor circles, which eliminated last
Democratic national labor committee,
is to be of real Importance in national
politics. The creation of this commit
tee as an adjunct Of the Democratic
national committee and for the
furtherance Of the Democratic presi-
dental campaign is a strictly partisan
movement, but is none'the less note
worthy and significant.
The important feature is that it
marks rejection Of an attempted DOM
ination by a certain group Of leaders
over the political freedom OF organized
labor. While the efforts Of this group
are directed to the aid of the La Fol
lette presidential candidacy the move
ment now under way in resistance
thereof will also serve to unfetter Re
publican voters in union labor ranks.
So the movement now under way,
while partisan in this particular case,
will become bipartisan as it spreads
to unleash from the group control Of
small clique Of leaders the vast bulk
of organized labor. Those who wish to
follow La Toilette will do so, the Re
publican voters will adhere to their
own party and the Democratic labor
voters will go to John w. Davis. The
chairman Of the newly created Demo
cratic national labor committee, Maj.
George l.. Berry. is quoted as saying
that the resistance to the mandate of
Mr.. Gompers and the executive coun-
ell Of the American Federation of La
Dor has stirred up a storm among the
rank and file of the federation from
Maine to California and from the
Canadian border to the gulf"
Let it be so. for it will be all to the
general good and to labor's benefit in
the end. Labor is quite intelligent
enough TO form it's own judgment on
political issues and, as Maj. Berry
well points out, any attempt to de-
liver the labor vote en- bloc as policy
would destroy the foundation of Amer
lean institutions"
