VAUDEVILLE TO
 BEGIN MONDAY
STOCK WILL BE DIS. BANDED-SOME OF THE BEST TALENT GOING SECURED FOR THE FIRST WEEK.

Beginning next Monday the Auditorium will present vaudeville attractions, the stock company being disbanded with the performance Saturday night.S The bill for the first week includes some of the best known vaudeville actors in the country, and the change will doubtless be bene- ficial.
 The bill as announced for the first week includes the four Keatons the four Hills, Lamont and Burns, Wheeler and Vedder, Claudine Riley Conley and Klein, and the Nellos All are prominent in the vau- deville world.
 Birmingham has never had the opportu- nifty of witnessing a first class vaudeville attraction, and the announcement that the management of the Auditorium would make a change from stock was received with pleasure by all theatre-goers Not more than ten Southern theatres offer vaudeville of the better class, but each of this number has made a success. In Atlanta when vaudeville was put on at the Lyceum that theatre immediately became the most popular house in the city.
 Messrs. Boyle and Edwards have per- fected arrangements with the managers of the vaudeville houses in Richmond, Norfolk, Atlanta and New Orleans where by the best attractions of those houses may be booked here. By this means the very best known stars of the vaudeville world may be secured for Birmingham without the great cost which would he incurred were they compelled to come direct from New York without any stop.

GENERAL MURRAY
 ASKS FOR TROOPS
Situation Threatening Among
 the Kentucky Miners
DISCUSSING INJUNCTION
Men Agtated Over Judge Evans Or der Restraining Them From
 Camping on or "WlthIn
 4yh cunshot of Mines"

Burlington, Ky, November H.-Adju- tant General David B. Murray, who has been In Madsonville for two days looking into the mining situation this afternoon telephoned the Governor recommending that troops again be sent to Hopkins county.
 There is agitation among the union miners today over news of the restrain ing order against officers and members of the United Mine Workers, granting by Judge Evans in the United States Court at Louisville last night to restrain the union men from camping on or with in gun shot" of the property of the mine owners.
 The mine operators, non-union employees and the business men generally are pleas ed with the news of the injunction and express the belief that general and pef- manent relief willscome of It.
 The only thing talked about today at Madisonville where the largest camp of miners is located, was the injunction granted the mine operators by Judge Evans of the Federal Court.
 The action of the operators came as a surprise to the union miners and every body else.
 Most of the union officials are out of the city. President Woods is in attend ance at the state convention of the Fed eration of Labor at Lexington but he telegraphs that he will return at once
 Organizer Reed, who is in charge of union headquarters today said
 ''The injunction will not injure us in the least. As far as I can understand it is a design of the operators to place a wrong impression on the minds of the public as to the objects of our camps The purpose of our camps is to maintain our men at less cost than under other conditions. Our camps have been fired into times too numerous to mention, and on account of this some of our men have armed themselves for their own protec- tion. We are going to go right along and organize the non-union miners.
 Everything is quiet throughout the strike region today. Last night several shots were fired near the Reincke mines but none of the shots were fired at the mines
 The Kentucky State Federation of La- bor completed its business sessions this afternoon. It developed today that the state organization of mine workers have spent $15O,OO0 in attempts to adjust mine troubles in Hopkins county.
