DECISION RESERVED
IN OSLER HEARING
Toronto Judge Indifferent to Delay
That Ruling May Cause United
States Courts.

by lne Asso'luteu L itsS'
TORONTO. December II. - Justice
Riddell yesterday reserved judgment on
the motion made on behalf OF the
United States Government to commit
Attorney II. S. Oslcr for contempt of
court for his refusal to give certain
testimony which the United States
desires to use in it's efforts to set
aside the Sinclair oil leases. Osler
has failed TO appear at the United
States consulate and answer certain
questions regarding what disposition
was made of 100000 in certain Lib
erty bonds purchased with oil profits
and TO say whether any of these
bonds came into possession of Albert
B. Fall, former United States Secre-
tary of the Interior.
The court refused to receive in evil
dcnce an affidavit offered by n. w.
RowelI. counsel for the United States,
designed to show that speed was de-
sirable in the decision of the case.
Rowell stated that the United states
courts might be blocked temporarily
unless Osler were forced to give evil
dence.
Il cannot expedite my decision
more than a human being can do II. p"
Justice Riddell commented. 1T makes
no difference whether they are In a
hurry or not. 1t doesn't matter 10
me a row of pins. Whether 1t keeps
the American courts going or not
makes not a bit of difference to me"
Wallace Nesbitt, counsel for Osler,
argued against the motion and told
the court that although his client
was now hunting big game in the
Sudan, he had not left Conada TO
escape giving evidence.

TAKE MAIL ORDERS
 FOR WALL PAPER
Harris And Sons Getting Mer. chandise To Distant Points

Mail order business in wall paper is proving a profitable departure for the firm of George W. Harris & Sons Wall Paper compnay. This is one of the oldest business. establishments in Birmingham, with 40 years of serv- ice behind it.
 An attractive book of wall paper samples has been prepared for the con- venience of the retail trade wishing to order by mail, or to secure specimens from which to make selection. The book also contains photographs of rooms in which certain types of the paper displayed have been used, so that an idea may be had as to the ap- pearance of the pattern on the wall. Advice is given on colors and pat terms, and the book is a valuable guide to those contemplating decoration.
 The Harris cmopany also does an ex- tensive wholesale wall paper business, covering territory in Alabama, Missis- sippi, Georgia and part of Florida.
 George w. Harris Is president of the company, E. c. Harris, vice president, and k. E. Harris, secretary and treas urer. The company has headquarters at 115 Twenty-First street, north.

BUSINESS MARCH
 SEEN BY BARNES

CHICAGO, Feb. 10.--Manufactur- ing and general business seems to be clearly advancing throughout the na- tion with some measure of earnings on the right side. according to Julius H. Barnes, president of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. Mir. Barnes and officers of the organiza- tion had completed a trip, designed to investigate sectional conditions and needs from a national standpoint.
 The area of distress now centers in certain few industries, cattle raising, copper mining and single crop grain raising, he said. The cattle industry shows signs of recovery with south western ranges in promising condition copper innings show the return to sta ble conditions in Europe to restore it to full activity, and diversified farm ing is replacing single crop grain rais- ing, according to his report.
 Cotton and dairy farming are en- toying a fair measure of actual pros- perity," he said. 'The oil industry seems to have passed its worst stage of depressing over-production, and is on the upgrade.
 Banking in unfavorable agricul- tural areas is passing through a time of stress, but where they have weath- cred the storm, a generally rising tide of annual earnings will yet rebuild their fortunes"
 Deflation loss has been generally taken and the rebuilding begun with fresh courage and confidence, Mir. Barnes declared. Temporary. conditions of distress should not influence action tending to fix prices in favor of the farmer, he warned, since a precedent would be established thereby for re- strictive price legislation when the na- tional psychology runs to consumer complaint.
 They should have no opinion on prices, but should devote its energy to maintaining the fair and unruffled field in which national influences makes prices and workout any disparities, Nr. Barnes declared.

one, than was 1923, according to busi- ness men. The iron market. taken as a baro. meter of general conditions industrial ly, continues its gradual strengthening tendency. Some of the larger furnace intersts in Birmingham are out of the market for anything less than $23.50, though some sales are reported at $23. It is confidently expected that the mar ket will go to $25 within a month or two.
 Business has improved in the cast iron pipe industry, with the general betterment reported in the municipal bond market. The largest customers Of the pressure pipe trade are munich palities using the pipe for waterworks extension and other purposes, and there has been accelerated buying from these sources for the past month.
 Conditions are quietest in the coal industry, for, while domestic demand has held up well during the cold weather, there has been dullness in the steam coal market. A slight stiffening of demand in the eastern market on bituminous coal is expected to be re- flected in this territory soon, however.

The Teachers and the Literacy Bill

The teachers who met here recently in grand convention did three things which note worthy; first they passed resolution asking the Territorial Legislature to pass literacy test for voters bill; second, they deplored the attempt which will be made to make the off, flee of Commissioner of Education elective di- rectly by the people of this Territory; third, they asked that Congress pass a law exempting them, the school teachers, from paying any in- come tax.
 Any person who is not a school teacher will find the argument against all three resolutions complete

 This magazine stands for complete universal education and I state it broadly that Every child in this Territory is entitled to education or a chance to such educatiOn Furthermore, every child is entitled to education at least thru high school at public expense. And until our white rulers will pass laws and make other provisions that this can be true, l will con- tinue to oppose literacy bill desired for politi- cal purposes.
 l hope the new teachers at least, (there were 34 of them out of the 80 who convened who had never been in Alaska before and who voted for this resolution with no information whatever as to what MT. Henderson was driving at) will read this article and then consider the following facts:
 It is sought to shut out the Indian vote entire ly on the ground of ignorance and it's conse- quent danger to our government; that their af
 
 their friends (white) in the legislature; that Alaska has been well governed by the white legislators who have heretofore represented the people.
 The leaders of the Natives say that this is not true, and say that the native citizen has always been the object of gross discrimination. First it has been and still is the policy of local school boards to exclude children of Indian blood from the schools; secondly, the native citizens are today excluded from the old age pension benefits; third, the native citizens, l mean the orphan children, are today excluded from the benefits of the law which protects these little unfortunates from the crueltes of this world.
 The town of Saxman having more than 50 Indian children was without school of any kind for many years The Indian children excluded from the public schools of Ketchikan in the same manner, and even today, the city makes provision for teaching these Indian children.
 There are literally dozens of Indian villages turnout Alaska where there is no school what
