To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Please allow me to say the following under your Forum of the People,:
 I read your editorial few days ago in regards to the city park board controversy and also Commissioner Harrisons reply to same, published in today's (Friday) paper and also your attempt to answer same also in today's (Friday) paper.
 I wish to say that I heartily agree with Mir. Harrison's reply to your editorial and ! am sure that the majority of fair-minded citizens of Birmingham also agree with him.
 Your editorial was misleading and away from the real facts as to why there Is dead- lock on the city park board.
 Whenever there is trouble, the first thing to do is to locate same and then determine the cause. This you have failed to do
 If you wanted to be fair why not write an editorial calling upon MT. Phillips and MT. Thuston asking them to explain their vote against Mir. Bowen and asking them to give at least one reasonable excuse for opposing his reappointment? This they have failed to do and in fact they admit that Mir. Bowen is all right, etc.
 Why don't you also ask MT. Thuston to explain what he considers big, outstanding man? To my way of thinking, consider Mr. Bowen a more '.big, outstanding man than either Mr. Phillips or MT. Thuston. Mir. Bowen showed that when he offered to with draw his name if MT. Phillips would resign, to which Mir. Phillips refused.
 Why try to kid the public any longer with such editorials, that you have to read be- tween the lines to get their real meaning?
 If there is anyone playing politics it is The Age-Herald and not MT. Harrison, there fore allow me to borrow little of your "thunder" and say that-The Age-Herald cannot, by such editorials, convince the peo- ple that they are free from political motives.
 Let's all be fair and get down to the real facts, the only question involved, and the one that has caused the deadlock and so far has not been explained, is, why the opposition to Mr. Bowen?

Transportation Difficulties Make
Operation of Mines Ex-
ceedingIy Difficult
By HAAKoN H. HAMMER

sPITZBERGEN, June 2. =
On this rim of the world from which
Captain Roald Amundsen, Eeuten-
ant Ralph E. Dawson, U. S. n, and
l expect soon to hop off on oul
Trans-Polsr flight, one finds a
wonder land.
Five hundred miles farther north
that the mediterranean Alaska, ard
only $50 miles from the North
Pole, coal mines flourish.
But they are far different from
the mines in other parts of the
world. AS a. rule pits must be dug
far down into the ground and the
work must be done in terrific heat,
moisture and gas fumes. Up he.e
the mines are right in the noun
tains. The galleries are high above
water level, the average tempera-
ture is 25 degrees F., and gas
fumes an unknown quantity.
1t is extremely beautiful to visi;
a Spitzbergen coal mine The low
temperature causes frost toy ather
on the ROOTS and walls Of the mines
and when one walks through with a
torch, the frost glitters and sparkles
like diamonds. One can almost
imagine having been transferred to
Aladdins treasure cave.
But alas the diamonds are only
frost" Operation costs and trans
portation difficulties Makes the
Spitzbergen coal treasure a liability
instead Of an asset.
For Spitzbergen lies three days
by steamers from even the most
northernly town in Norway, and It's
east coast is generally iee-bound all
the year round. But on the west
coast where navigation is open
three or four months every year, 5
coal mines are now in operation.
Two Of them are Norwegian, one
in Swedish, another Dutch and The
last English.
The coal found is an excellent
hard coal but climatic conditions
naturally makes it very hard 10
mine DUNG the lone dark and So
we're winter. Some of the mines
heretofore are only operating dur
ing the summer.
Another severe handicap is the
short shipping season. During tLe
three to four months of open navi-
cation the entire years output must
be shipped and the loading facili.
ties as yet in most cases very prlm-
tive. The consequences are that

GROVE SEEKS TRUE BILLS
Boys Now Held By Authorities
and Prevented From Consult

CHICAGO, June 2.-State At
torney Grove announced today as
lawyers began the battle in behalf
of Nathan Leopold and Richard
Loeb, confessed kidnapers and
slayers Of 14-year-old Robert

free them.
Attorneys temporarily retained

the refusal of States Attorney
Grove to permit them to do so. The
attorneys alleged the youth was be-

was objected to unless an attorney
is present, he explained.
During the second trip today a

GAMBLER CALLED OUT
OF Church HARMONY


NASHVILLE, Tenn, June q
Bishop Warren A. Gambler SIS out
of harmony with his own church
in his opposition to the Plan of un'
ification of the Northern and sonth-
ern Methodist Episcopal churches,
says Bishop Edwin D Mouzon, III
a reply to the recent statement o.
Bishop Gambler attacking the plan.
"The statement from the pen oil
our honored bishop does not result
from a study of the PLAN" says
Bishop Mouzon. sit has no r4la-
ton to anything in the plan. 1t
cannot be supported by one single
argument. The plan itself, in it's
entire conception and design, is in
direct contradiction and denial Of
the statement made by Bishop
Gambler.
"In Bishop Gamblers opinion
northern Methodists are not a peo'
pie for Southern Methodists to con-
slider uniting with in the work OF
the kingdom of God. He plainly
says that they are not of the right
spirit Well, unfortunately for the
good bishop, he is out Of harmony
with his own church. The Method
list Episcopal church, south, speak
ing through three successive gener-
al conferences, has declared in fav-
or of unification."
Bishop Mouzon also declares that
the plan as adopted by the north,
ern general conference recently
at Springfield, Mass, is a southern
plan.
Having been for three quadren-
NUNS member of the commission
on unification and knowing perfect
ly well what went on in the meet
igs of the commission, / may be
pardoned for letting out a secret.
The plan which is now before the
two churches is, as a matter of fact,
southern plan. The essential pfin,
ciples contained in it were suggest
ed by the southern members Of the
Joint commission. If We reject CHS
plan, we will reject our own plan
of unificatiop "
Bishop Mouzon then named three
southern men as having made prac-
tically all of the major suggestions
upon which the plan was formulate
ed. They are Judge H. H. White,
of Alexandria, La, DR.. Paul H.
Linn and DR.. T. d. Ellis.

HILEYS MUST RECEIVE
FINAL SPRAYING SOON

FORT VALLEY, June Gov
eminent and state laboratory peach
experts here are advising growers
to spray their Hileys during this
week, and have issued a bulletin in
dicating how this work should be
done. The bulletin is as follows:
Hileys win be ready for the final
application Of spray during the first
week in June, and growers are adj
vised to spray every Hiley tree be-
fore the close of that week. This is
an exceedingly important treatment
for both curculio and brown ret,
and as it is the last application be-
fore harvest a special effort should
be made to thoroughly cover each
peach using the full A pounds of ar
senate Of lead to thhe 32-32-zao
self-boiled lime sulphur. If dust
is used the 80-5-15 formula is rec
commended for this application.
Georgia Bellies should receive the
last treatment sometime during the
week Of June Ola, and Elbertas
should receive the final spray dur
ing the week of June 1921. Do
not make the mistake of spraying
Georgia Bellies and Elbertas for the
last time Immediately after finish
ing Hileys. Wait until the dates
given above.
The quality prospects of the crop
of peaches which is soon to be har-
vested are the best since 1918. The
fruit is remarkably free from evil
dences of the curculio, and unless
very favorable weather conditions
occur brown rot should give no Sc
rious trouble. The crop is, how.
ever, not yet made, and growers
should not become over confident
as to the final outcome. It is still
possible for either curculio or
brown rot to cause serious losses.
The late varieties are just complet-
ing Or are now in the stone-hard-
ening period, which is q period Of
curculio inactivity. The curculio
will become active again in each
variety 3 to 4 weeks before ripen-
ing, when the acid test in curculie
control viii occur. Therefore, the
last application should be applied
on time, and in addition disking
under the spread of the trees should
be frequent during the next several
weeks for curculio pupee destruc-
ton.
