The WeII-Dressed Man
 By Bedunash CORRECT CLOTHES EVERY OCCASION
Leather Sporting Jacket


 Characteristic of the ebullient Ameri- can spirit is to bring to everything we attempt a newborn enthusiasm that sweeps all before it. As an example, when we took up polo the Englishman, grizzled veteran at the game, smiled However, as the olden jingle runs about the Lady from Niger who smiled as she rode on the tiger, they came back from the ride with the lady inside and the smile of the lip of the tiger. Our international polo pre-eminence is familiar history.
 In sporting dress, Americans now fairly out-English the English and out Scotch the Scotch in the smartness an trimness of their get-up. We have grasped the creed of comfort. We have learned the lesson that it is less impor- tant to silhouette a slashingly dashing figure against the landscape than to wear practical, easy-fitting clothes which make us so self confident, that we forget to be selfconscious.
 You may keep business out of golf, but how can you keep golf out of busi- ness: It is its principal rival. All roads lead to the open road, including the primrose path of fashion. What the golfiac is cannily calculating, even in winter, is how he may be freed from the lonesome necessity of ever changing his knickers. Faith. he'd like to go to bed in them.
 Latterly. there has been a notice able revival in style of the leather jacket or jerkin. as the Englishman terms it. This is snug-fitting garment of soft buckskin or suede designed to take the place of the sportsman s sweater when more than customary warmth is sought. A spruce jacket of this sort is pictured in the accompany ing sketch. It has five large buttons

OIL FRAUD TRIAL
 WEARS AN END

sinking money in the fake company" and reviewed the testimony of witnesses who had told the jury their stock was no good.
 These four men, Smith said, lad vertised to the public, and even wrote in their charter that they had per- sonally subscribed for millions of dol lars of stock in the company. You jurors heard them admit on the stand that they lied about that. 1 tell you its a open and shut case of fraud, and all four of them ought to get the limit"
 Borden Burr led off for the defense, taking up his hour and 15 minutes largely with a review of the evidence, which he said had utterly failed to make out case.
 "A mighty weak showing" he said of the governments testimony. He argued that the company made great headway until the near-panic of 1921 and as- serted the intentions of the defendant officials were 'the best in the world" "
 MT. Burr summed up the evidence concerning the placing of S1,S10,OOO in added vauleS" on the company's books and told the jury that many witnesses had borne out the contention that the company's properties were worth the money. He closed with a plea to the jury to acquit the defendants, "who have been unjustly accused and un- fairly attacked"
 District Attorney Kennamer followed for the government with demand for the "punishment of these men, who have robbed innocent people of millions through false representations in one of the biggest frauds this country has ever seen." He said it was a good thing the crash came when it did, or there's no telling how much money they would have got away with.'
 Kennamer talked of the connection between the Walker company and the Texhoma Oil company-''two companies with the same officers and the same opportunities, one. of which came out profitably and one of which went to the bad"
 This was just as defendants had planned" Kennamer roared. They took millions out of the fake company and put it in the legimiate company, know ing at the time the Walker Consolld- ated crash was coming. This kind of fraud must be stopped, or this country will be overrun with fake stock ped dlers There has never been more fragrant case of fraud, and I ask you jurors to do your full duty"
 Attorney Pettus, representing Hud- mon, began his speech by sharply de nouncing the bitterness" of the gov ernmcnt prosecutors.
 Their case has fallen flat" he as- serted, and now they've appealing to prejudice. The facts in this case are plain. The company was organized with wonderful prospects. Nowhere has it been shown that the intentions of the defendants were not good. A period of financial depression and the failure of highly recommended oil wells to produce oil caused the failure. The defendants couldn't help it, and they should not have been indicted. My client, Mir. Iopson, lest practically all of his private fortune when the com pany failed. He had bought freely of the same stock that was sold to the public. Does that indicate fraud?" Pettus said Hopson never, "at any

of Governor Johnston. There he met a young nan employed at the Berne. National bank as clerk, William Webb Crawford. That same evening Mir. Badham, at the invitation of his new friend. shared his room and from that day until MT. Badham's death the two were constant friends, business as. sociates and Birmingham leaders.
 His promotion in the Alabama State bank was very rapid and he became all executive of that institution only to resign in 1897 to become back tax collector of Jefferson county. Later he was elected president of the Berney National bank, which place he held until the Berney National was absorbed by the First National and he accepted the presidency of the Bessemer Coal Iron and Land company.
 Mr. Badham married Miss Heleu Terry, whose sister married the late Judge A. o. Lane. former mayor, mem Der of circuit bench and later city com missioner. Under his management the Bessemer Coal, Iron and Land com. pany became one of the outstanding industrial corporations of the district 'rhe company owns extensive property in the city of BeSsemer, operates sev. eral successful coal mines and is ever now engaged in extensive real estate developments.
 Many Corporate Connections
 For many years MT. Badham served as vice president of the Birmingham Trust and Savings bank, retiring a cou. pie of years ago, but remaining a mem. Der of the board of directors. He was charter member and one of the most successful presidents of the Birming ham Country club and assisted in the organization and launching of the Roe. buck Country club. He was member of the Southern club, the Shrine and Knight Templars. He was a direc. tor of the Birmingham Railway Light and Power company before its recent organization and was also a member of the board of directors of the Alabama Grocery company. He was vice presi dent of the recently organized Bessemer Galvanizing works. He was an execu. tive officer and large stockholder in the Peoples Telephone company of Birming. ham until its absorption by the Bell company.
 Since the arrival in Birmingham of Dr. Henry M. Edmonds, pastor of the Independent Presbyterian church, one of his most ardent admirers and closest friends had been Henry l.. Badham The beautiful new church on Highland avenue built by that congregation owes much to the untiring efforts of Mir. Bad. ham, who labored constantly to brin,

time, made a dollar out of the com pany." He said on behalf of the other defendants that the evidence had not shown they had knowledge that fraud was being committed. In conclusion, he asked the jury to acquit the defend- ants, 'whose character and standing has been attacked in a most unfair and bitter way"
 The defendants set unmoved during the arguments. When court adjourned, they left the federal building together, all predicting an early verdict by the jury. They are unmistably of the opinion that their fight for acquittal has been won.

made him popular in every circle in which he moved and throughout his long residence in Birmingham he had made friends literally by the thousands so that his personal acquaintance in Birming ham and Jefferson county was probably greater than that of any other citizen.
 Here 3S Years
 MT. Badham was 60 years old, having been born in Raleigh, N. C., October 22, 1868, the son of Maj. Henry A. Bad ham and Cornelia Cosby Badham. William Badham, first of the family in America, settled in Chowan county, N. C., in I'll, being the son of Charles Badham of the manors of Badham and Swaffham of Norfolk, England. He was for many years a prominent figure in the house of burgesses and later a judge of the colony. Henry Lee Bad hams mothers family is cited by Bishop Meade in his "Old Churches and Families of Virginia as having been prominent in Warwick county in 1885.
 As a young man in 1886 Henry l.. Badham came to Birmingham at the invitation of the late Gov. Joseph F. Johnston, at that time president of the old Alabama State bank, and one of the city's leading bankers. He arrived on Sunday and that day dined at the home

 There are four Tapped pockets fast ening with buttons to hold the various personal trifles that every sportsman can't do without. The garment curves slightly to the waistline and should not be confused with those bulky, shapeless coats of sheepskin, moleskin or dogskin worn by lumberjacks. The buckskin jacket is admirable for motoring in an open car, as we'll as for all snow-and- blow sports.
