HE STOPPED HIM.
Captain Sharp at Woodward, When Requested to Stop Negro, Did
 So-The Negro May Die.

Columbus Hicks, colored, was shot and probably fatally wounded at Woodward yesterday evening about o'clock by Cap tain Sharp, an employe of the Woodward Iron company.
 Hicks had been in the commissary, and as he went out at the door one of the clerls called to the people in front 10 stop him, 10 shoot him. At this Captain Sharp, who has commission as deputy sheriff, looked around and saw the negro, who had started to run. He confronted the negro and ordered him to halt; .whereupon, 1t Is said, the negro attempted to strike the captain with a rock. As he raised his hand Captain Sharp pulled his pistol and fired, the ball entering Hicks body and striking the spinal column near the small ofthe back. The negro fell, it is believed, nor, l y wounded.
 he company's physician, pr. Evans, was called in and did what he could for the wounded man, but the last reports from there were not at all favorable for Hicks recovery.
 Sheriff Morrow was notified immediately after the shooting and requested to send and get the negro, but he thought it best to wait until this morning.
 The clerks in the commissary claim that Hicks had stolen the articles which he was carrying away with him.

The Play s the Thing g

"Nancy." or in plain English Fanny Rice, was at O'Brien's last night and was greeted by a small audience. Much had been promised for "Dainty Fanny Rice' and her company, and those present, or at least a part of them, were pleased with the former, though the latter fell short.
 Fanny Rice is splendid in the role of Nancy, the shoemaker's wife, and by her ready with and rustic simplicity she extri- cated her friends from embarrassing situa- tions.
 The cabinet scene in the second act was an innovation 10 Birm ngh ham theater- goers and created ripple of delight. 4
 Fanny Rice was good in her roles, but her support was in the main rather weak and a disappointment to the audience. 1

 BAHEN.
 WASHINGTON, March 27.-The inquest over the body of George Bahen of Rich- mond, Va., the Georgetown university student who died yesterday from injuries received on Thanksgiving Day in a game between teams of the university and Co., lumpia Athletic clubs, was held this after noon. Several members of both teams tes- tified that they did not know who hurt Bahen, and the Columbia men disclaimed that the injuries that Bahen received were given intentionally.
 Leet of the Columbias, whom Bahen tackled in the scrimmage in which he was hurt, said he thought that Bahen was in- jured by one of the Georgetown players. Other witnesses testified that they had heard of rumor that Columbia intended to 'do upo Georgetown, but put no faith h 1t, and some of the Georgetown players disclaimed any intention of inflicting bod. lily injury on their opponents. The jury rendered verdict that "We are unable to tell who is to blame. 's Al

.tJOSEPH.'

That people go to the theater to be amused, to seek recreation and forget their cares has been many times sad, but fre- quent reiteration has made it none the less merriment that really reaches the seat of laughter and humor that appeals to the in- telligent man or woman are among the very highest characteristics of a good play. Such play is ''Joseph,' jolly fellow, which was one of the strongest productions of the season of 1923 and which will be given for the performance Saturday even- ing at O'Brien's opera house with fine cast. :Joseph" is a comedy that makes one laugh when the curtain first goes up, played out by the orchestra. Horse play grimaces and unnatural clowning are not called into play during it's progress, but a funny story, full of wholesome incidents, inimitable humor and wittily told is it's magic wand. Like many of the best com- edies, it is from the French, and in Paris it was played 12S0 times. The English adap- tation had the fullest measure of success, both in New York and on the road. h the company which is to be seen here, and which is under the experienced manage ment of Mir. w. D. Loudoun, the role of Joseph will be played by MT. Ernest A. Elton, character actor of wide experi- ence, who was for three years with the late Rosina Vokes and who made so great hit later as Cole finch with Mrs. John Drew in s'The Road to Ruin."
 Felix Flutterby, a widower of habits more regular than exemplary, will be im- personaIed by MT. Roydon Exlynne, for merly with Mrs. Langtry and John Stet son, while Constance, his daughter, an up- to- date young woman, to whom the suspicion of little devilisnness in man is recommendation, will be played bJ Miss Blanche Robinson, an accomplished ingenue late with ''rhe Nominee. The would be strong minded and anti marry ing young woman, Amelia, will be in the capable hands of Miss Gertrude Whitty, while the other characters will be we'll taken care of by Messrs. Thomas s. Wise. George Rolbling, Garrison Ball and Misses Lillian Andrews and Wenona Brooks.
 In the hands of such a company "Jo- seph' should be, aud no doubt wlil be, a dramatic treat.

GILMoRE's OLD BAND.

Old time friends of Gilmore and Gil- more's band will probably never lose their affection for both, for both were rightly given rich reward of public good will, which they fairly earned. It Is intense satisfaction 10 all such friends to know that the famous old band is in a most prosper ous condition in every way, and has taken new hold on public confidence and esteem by the magnificent showing it is making under the direction of Victor Herbert, the young Mozart of the period. Herbert's masterly abilities and his hot ambition have shot the band up wonderfully within the year past. When Herbert al last con- sented to take the leadership of the old orr ganization he got back most of the old time famous soloists and artists of Gilmore 8 day and lot of new ones from both sides of the Atlantic, and put them through such a course of training as they never had had. With the old Gilmore library and his own, i, some thousand copies of the best music in existence, he has now repertoire that can scarcely be equaled on earth. And the old band is playing as it never played be- fore.
 It will be heard here in grand concert this afternoon and night at the opera house, together with number of famed artists. Among them are Mme. Natali i, the prima donna, and the wonderful child pianiste, Frieda Simonson Cat night only). Victor Herbert also will lay down his the greatest of violoncellists, being for years the solo 'cellist of the Theodore Thomas orchestra, just as he had been in some of the famous orchestras of Europe before he came to join Thomas. Herbert Clarke, the cornet virtuoso, and Aldis J. Gsry, autoharp, are to be heard also. The big band of fifty men will be given plenty to do, ard the concert may be expected to be the most brilliant that Birmingham has ever had.

TWO MORE CUBS

BORN AT THE WINTER QUARTERS OF SANDS
 & AsTLEY's CIRCUS.
 A few days ago three young lions were born at the winter quarters of Sands & Astley's circus. Babe, the mother of the cubs, was born in Denver, Col, and wns raised by Mrs. McMahon, food being sup. piled the beast by means of bottle. It was merely an experiment, and Mrs. Mo Mahon, by care and patience, finally saw her efforts rewarded. The cubs were taken from Babe for the purpose of raising them !, but they died.
 Yesterday the lioness purchased in Chat. tanooga gave birth to pair of cubs, a male and a female, both healthy speci- mems. Immediately after their birth they were brought to the Opera House hotel and turned over to Mrs. Gabel, au attache, who will use every effort to raise them. They are healthy and lively, and if diligent care will prove availing they will live to become counterparts of their parents.

The INDUCTION motor use6 & Al excel
lent representation or the latest TN
Of alternating current motor built ~
the General Electric. company. There
are NO commutatOrs, collector rings or
brushes: the field winding is connected
to the circuit. but there is no connec-
ton between the armature and any ex.
ternal oGrce Of current. The threc-
phase currents rising and falling in the
field windings induce corresponding
currents in the armature winding and
the ar1nature revolves. The field anna
1ufe cores are SO completely Illuminated
that all loss from eddy currents is prac-
tically eliminated. The speed of the
motor is at all loads practically con-
slant. The starting resistance for pre-
venting any excessive current in the
afmature winding while gaining speed
Is contained in the arnlature itself, and
the handle serves to cut out the resist
ance when the motor is full up TO speed.
These induction motors are built to
stand the severest conditions met with
IN actual service, aud wherever they
have been employed, have answered
every requirement possible. The inter
est IN this mine centers, Of course. up
Oh the economy induced by the eleetri-
cal installation. The power used in the

Is more than three times as much as
was used when generated by the steam

fore, $1,000 Il month, or $4,000 per

than Ss6.0W a year is effected by the
