French Auto Makers Seeking Greater Unity Competition of Other Countries Worrying Manufacturers Active WASHINGTON, March 8, eighty-ninth birthday of Oliver Wendell Holmes was celebrated In the Senate today which paused in its consideration of the tariff bill to listen to a brief speech of tribute delivered a short time before the members of the Supreme Court gathered In the conference chamber of the highest tribunal to extend personal greetings to the veteran Jurist. Hardly had the Senate convened this morning before Senator Walsh, Democrat, Massachusetts, interrupted the tariff discussion to call attention to the birthday anniversary of his distinguished fellow bay stater whose once erect military carriage now is somewhat bowed with age although his step still Is firm.

Recalling that the 27 years of ser- vlci by Justice Holmes set a record for the Supreme Court, Senator Walsh referred to the Justice as "one of the noblest and most patriotic members of the American Judiciary." Justice Holmes today finished 27 years and three months on the Supreme bench. He was appointed by President Roosevelt, confirmed by the Senate on December 4, 1902, and tool: his seat on December 8. Even before he took the oath, Justice Holmes was known to the legal profession as a master of jurisprudence and his work "the common law." published in 1881 is still regarded as a classic. Son of Oliver Wendell Holmes, known to every schoolboy as the author of "The One Horse Shay," and "Old Ironsides," Justice Holmes is the oldest man ever to serve on the Supreme Court bench.

Among its pi-ovislons in one that if the franchise is granted, the Alton Water Co, obligates itself to petition the Illinois Commerce Commission without delay for authority to put into effect a $10 reduction in fire plug rental. On the present number of fire plugs the reduction would mean a saving of $4340 to the city annually. Cut Invalid Provision The Alton Water Co. under the proposed contract also would be obligated to carry through a program of plant improvements costing approximately $160,000 which would provide better water pressure in Upper Alton and north Mlddletown areas.

The city would have the right to buy the plant at any time on a basis to be set by a commission, the city and company each to name one member of this commission and these two representatives to pick the third It has been proposed that the franchise contain a clause to the effecl that should the Alton Water Co. al any time within the life of the contract seek rate increases, that such action should void the contract. Validity of this proposal, much dlscussec in committee, has been a matter grave doubt. Attorney Verlie been asked to check this point in re gard to the proposed franchise ii particular.

Ringering was named as a party defendant in the action of the bank to collect the judgment note, it being set up he was a surety. Because the action was on a judgment note, he did not receive notice of the court action. In his affidavit filed in support of his motion, Ringering sets up that if his name appears on the note it is forged, that he was ignorant the note at issue existed, and that he did not execute it or authorize his signature, nor did any representative of the First Trust and Saving Bank ask him about his signature at time the note was made.

Not until an execution was served on him last November did he learn of the matter, he states. The amount of the judgment entered and which Ringering is fighting is $412.63, Interest for a period of about three years and court costs being added to the principal sum of $350.
