 Anticipating bitter, as the church is divided into three groups as regards pacificsm, leaders had been waiting for the psychological moment to discuss the question, but the horseback preacher" tossed discretion to the winds by dis tributing a pamphlet to the members of the convention.
 It's title was War wrong, only wrong, always wrOng," and the cost of it's printing had been paid for by the in- digent members of his little flock Lead CTS of the church attempted to pass the incident over as unimportant, but the vigorous words of the horseback preacher" stared at them in bold faced type.

 counties, when the intangible reasons were presented to American buyers. There has been a day in Birmingham when the fact that European nations could place pig iron in New Orleans, Savannah and Galveston caused some of the tifnid makers uneasiness. How ever. that has long ago been overcome by the excellence of the products here as compared to the inferior grades shipped to compete with American mills
 Products Inferior
 Since the announcement Of the Eng fish Belgian, German, and French combine, the announcement has been made by some buyers that having once bought rolled wire, billets, iron and other products from Europe they had given up the idea of buying again. It was frankly stated that the products were inferior and after all a buyer IS not disposed to sacrifice an excellent product for an inferior one, even though a saving would be affected.
 In connection with the corporation in Europe there is a distinctly inter- esting Birmingham angle to the an- nouncement. It is recalled that agents for the German companies, for the French and for the English have during the past three or four years visited America to investigate the steel corpor- ation. which concern, by reason of its size, often has caused the Europeans to turn green with envy, it was stated. Naturally, they have presented them selves at the offices of George G, Crawford of the Tennessee company.
 They have invariably been shown ev- cry item of manufacture here and given every possible chance to make a thorough study of how the local makers handle their plants. This is true of ev' cry concern mentioned as party to the steel combination, so that the idea has been formed here that the past visits have been predicated on the possible formation of the company detailed by the announcement of Thursday morn ing. There is no resentment here of this fact, it being well understood that the visitors were seeking data, which was freely given, for the purpose of using that information for their own benefit.
 Herr Stinnes Here
 The latest visitor of considerable con sequence was the son of Herr Shines who came to Birmingham with a party and made a trip over the Birmingham district accompanied by the officials of the Tennessee company. They went away wondering how it was possible to do the things that are done here and still give the employees of the company the present compensation, which was considered extremely high by the wis itOrs. Herr Shines made no statements here about the works he saw or the plants he visited. He was unusually re- ticent The visit of Dr. Shines was preceded by visitors from England and France,

BREAK LOOMS ' WITH PERSIA :. OVER MBRIE
Two Slayers Of Vice Con- sul Given Life Im-
 prisonment
tBy Associated Press. ]

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-Diplo- matic tension is increasing between the Washington and Teheran governments over failure of the Persian authorities to carry out sentence of death against all three of the men found guilty by Persian military court of the murder of Robert W. Imbrie, American vice consul at Teheran.
 Recent advices reaching Washington show that while the execution of Morteza, a private soldier in the Per sian army transport corps, was car ried out with due formality, Seyid Hussein, convicted ring leader of the mob that beat Imbrie to death, in q hospital, has been granted clemency by the Persian cabinet. His sentence was commuted to life imprisonment, as was that of third man convicted and sentenced to death for the crime.
 State department officials have had no statement to make on the cases since they made public some time ago detailed report of the execution of Morteza. It is known in diplomatic circles, however, that the procrastina tion and delay of the Persian author itiet is causing the Washington govern ment serious concern.
 Protest Certain
 There is little doubt that the action of the Teheran. cabinet in committing the sentence of Seyid Hussein will be the subject of sharp diplomatic protest from Washington, if such a communi- cation has not already gone forward.
 Hussein is said to have been conclu- sively proved by evidence before the, military court as well as by the va rious police and other investigations at the time to have been the chief inciter of the mob which attacked the hospital where Imbrie lay injured as result of the first attack upon him. The man now granted communication of sentence led the group which broke down the door and beat Imbrie to death with clubs us he lay on the operating table. Mortesa's part in the murder is de- clared to have been much less aggra- vated than that of Huessein.
 Special Privileges
 One explanation advanced for the attitude of the Persian cabinet as to Hussein by those familiar with Mos lem customs is the fact that he bears the name or title of Seyid, which indi- cates direct descent from Mohammed and endows the person involved with special privileges. During the Roose- welt administration a similar situation arose over the murder in Persia of an American missionary by Persian bearing the Seyid title. Several years of sharp diplomatic exchanges were re- quired before satisfaction was obtained.
