RATE REVISION
 FIGHT :B WON
New Tariff On Lime To District Is An
 nOunced

The Birmingham Traffic association Wenesday received the decision of the Alabama public service commission pre- scribing revised rates on lime between all points within the state. This case was heard at Montgomery, April z, when the local association was rep resented by Secretary c. B. Jones.
 The commission in it's decision com pletely upheld every contention of the Birmingham bureau. The action, it is stated, will bring about q uniform rate structure and furnish q basis to be used in the realignment of all inter state rates. Under the ruling one set of rates will apply onS lime carrying a minimum weight of 5000 pounds and another lower scale carrying a minimum weight of 5O,00O pounds. All less carload rates are to be retained as they exist until the commission can prescribe reasonable class rates through out tie state for this phase of traf- fife.
 One of the important principles es- tablished in this case is the grouping of points in production in and around the Birmingham district to the Birming- ham market. In other words the kilns located on the Louisville and Nash vile, Southern, A. B. and A, and other carriers, have been grouped to Bir- mingham and the Birmingham district points and a common rate made applica- ble from each, which will enable pro- ducers to enter their home market on q rate parity. It will also, enable the receivers af Birmingham to have a wide field in which to buy their lime on a rate equality.
 The decision brings about slight re duction in the carload rates from these producing points to Birmingham.

Safe crackers have faded away. Once upon a time New York was cluttered with them. Whenever the Hops on the B0wery were raided score of hard boiled yeggs were caught. The safes have become too hard to crack. Now adays stick-up men shoot bank guards and rob the money cars, and mostly get away with it. Wall Street has no such leader as J. P. Morgan, but one reason is that the city has become so over poweringly rich--it is the gold capital of the w0rld-that there are many leaders, each in his own field. It is the difference between a wagon show and q three ring circus.
 The pawn-brokers' shops were always good for story in the old days. Now they have old tools and nickel watches in the windows. The fences have of- fices uptown where they handle the high-class gem-stealing trade in a digni- fled manner. Second hand stores where one could once find bits of ancient artis- try have become antique shops. A bit of real Americana-say a kitchen chair --is worth hundreds of dollars. A mil lionaire yesterday paid seven hundred dollars for yellow pine table. His home is so full of yellow pine tables now that one cannot revolve in it.
 Here is a list of show-window titles taken on Madison avenue: Pearls, pewter, paintings, old furniture, wrought iron fireplaces, ancien: fabrics. boat models, old English and Dutch silver, Spanish leather, ivory, jade
 The list might be enlarged indefinite ly. And on either side are small streets packed with gems of artistry. One sits in cafe transplanted from Paris in which one rarely hears an English word. The morning papers tell that in less than six months more than three billion dollars worth--three billion dollars-of New York real estate has been sold.
 And the old-timers say New York is no longer interesting. Poor old timers. It has grown beyond them in power and glory and gold and luxury. They are almost ready for the Sailors Snug Harbor-for today we have all most run. out of sailors.

Nowadaysgw we have no breadline. It may have been interesting, but it's a good riddance. Hardlye any pan-hand- lcrs. I've been held up three times in a week. Two were men who really wanted work and could prove it. The third was one of the real old sort.
 "On your way" said. T don't like your stuff. It's raw.'
 You poor fish,. said the han-hand. Ter. !"I got more money in my pockets right now than you have"
 It was sheer ostentation, and I re- sented it. But he hauled out a handful of silver. He said he would never work again. Also he said that he did not drink Not that I think that proves anything.
 The old Hudson Busters are gone, but they never amounted to much. Beer-fuddlers, brass-knuckle workers, cheap river thieves. Now the police complain that river piracy has become a business. They want all the junk boats cleared off the river. Some junk men are. honest, of course, but the po- lice say it would take the navy to. pro tect boats against the others.
 Watch them drift along at night, !" they say. "A dim light showing, show ing noiselessly into dark slips. Give us back our dear Hudson Dusters."
 Spanish Louis and his gunmen were as well known in New York history as Benvenuto Cellini was in Italy's. There are forty gangs, maybe more. that could make. q target out of Spanish Louis. We used to have filibusters who ran rifles to Latin-American revolutipnists. Today there are real pirates. A dozen or more rhm-running steamers have been boarded. and robbed by them just outside the twelve mile limit.
 What are we going to do about itT' ask the police. Protect the rum runners? That's laugh.''
 They haven't made any one walk the plank, so far as any one knows, but the total of their piratical loot would make Captain Kidd's takings look like the penny stealing of a kid. They took half a. million dollars from one steamer alone.

 ''The problem of peace is the great est problem now confronting human ity," explained the speaker, "and the movement to abolish war as a world movement. For many centuries militar- ism was dominant and the school mas ters of all civilized peoples taught mili- tarism and gloried the followers of war.
 But brotherhood cannot come about as long as militarism is glorified, in- stead of glOrifying the followers of peace and the builders of civilization ? continued Dr. Newfield, "and if we are to be the followers of a prince. oi peace, we nsueN teach peace"

TESTIMONY TAKEN
 IN CLARK'S CASE
State Hearilg Evf'ence On
 c arge Of Murder.ng Sam Bates

Taking of states testimony in the case of Will D. Clark, charged with the murder of Sam Bates, was practically completed Wednesday afternoon in Judge H. P. Heflin's court.
 A statement said to have been made by Clark and his wife immediately fol- lowing the death of Bates, and which is believed to be in the nature of a confession of the crime, was not al- lowed in the evidence, following strenu- ous objection by counsel for the defense.
 Failure to have this statement in- cluded in the testimony allowed in the case is believed virtually to halt the prosecutions case.
