New York Managers
 Fail to Get Miss Hall

Birmingham was partially the cause of closing the New York Theatre produc- ton of Floradora Saturday night. Paul. inc Hall who was the only woman avail able for leading part, Is under con- tract to Mr E. Coley Anderson to play at the Aud orium the opening week. and afterwards for three more weeks in other houses. By his refusing to cancel the contract with Miss Hall, the Floradora company in New York was temporarily closed after a most remarkable run of 505 perform ances, at nearly every one of which the standing room sign was out
 MT. Anderson received f1atterng offers from the managers of the New York Theatre, the Sire Brothers, but refused all advances because he had announced Miss Hall as the headliner for his open ing week. Several telegrams were sent by the Sire Brothers to MT. Anderson and the others who --ad Miss Hall under contract, but each fiatly refused to con slider any offer.
 One of the telegrams to MT. Anderson and other vaudeville managers asks under what conditions he will release Miss Hall. and further stated she was the only available woman for the place. It was as follows:
 Would it be possible to release Paul.

BUCHANAN SAID TO
 BE FROM NASHVILLE
SMOOTH ARTIST WHO CONDUCT JED WHOLESALE EMPLOYMENT BUREAU IN JEFFERSON coUN- TY BANK BUILDING.

R. D. Buchanan and his partner. who have been conducting unique and whole sale employment bureau, with headquar- ters in the Jefferson County Bank build ing. have not yet been apprehended, but Chief Austin thinks he will have them corralled soon.
 Buchanan was a smooth proposition With his smoothness he also possessed cleverness. By his smoothness and his cleverness with the aid of a stenogra- pher, he was rapidly getting to fnan- cial altitude where the disbursement of few public libraries would be merely an incident in his financial career. The whole state of Alabama was his field of operations. In carefully written and en- ticingly worded epistles he offered easy high-salaried positions to the wayfaring man seeking to improve his condition. He not only offered positions at $50 per month, but transportation to and from Birmingham to all who would take ad- vantage of his generous offer. Many of the recipients of his letters journeyed to Birmingham to see and talk with these wonderful men.
 It is said they were graciously re- ceived and their duties explained to them very plausibly. These benefactors repre- scented large and wealthy corporation. The name of the corporation was the Co., lumbia Mercantile Company. They want ed agents all over the state of Alabama and would pay large salaries to compe- tent men, such as the men who received the letters and presented themselves at their headquarters were known to be. Everything was always satisfactory, and an applicant could prepare to start to work in few days. But. incidentally of course, just to show that good feeling and harmony existed. and that they had full faith in their employees, a deposit of from sl0 to $25 was required. The deposit was usually made and depositor was instruct ed to return to his own vine and fig tree and await further instructions. They are kind enough to intimate that they would be still waiting when the next returns are received. Anyway, MT. Buchanan and his partners office is locked and the rent unpaid. However, Buchanan was thought ful enough before taking to the high grass to write his landlord a note, telling him that the concern he represented had failed and that he had left his type writer intact
 It is claimed that the wary MT. Buchan- an and partner (and his partner is said to be his brother) hail from Nashville, but whether they have returned to the City of Rocks or are seeking greener fields, desponent sayeth not. But they have in their possession wherever they be sums of money ranging from s1o to s25 secured from a very numerous lot of suckers waiting for their job.

inc Hall next week for a run in F1oradora as she Is the only available woman. would consider same great favor. An swer" Sire Brothers. New York Theatre.
 When asked about it last night MT. Anderson said he would certainly bring Miss Hall to Birmingham as she has been billed to appear and he could not af- ford to disappoint the audience.
 Ut Is against my policy" he said, land you may state for me that she will ap- pear unless providentially hindered. I am also authority for the statement that the New York production of Floradora closed Saturday night because myself and asso- ciates refused to release Miss Hall under any circumstances.
 Sire Brothers made us several very good offers to release Miss Hall, but we refused. Birmingham will be the first city to see Miss Hall after she closes her engagement in New York. She will rest this week and leave for Birmingham next Friday, reaching here Sunday
 "The telegram which I showed you is only one of several I have received ask ing she be released and making offers of much more money than I expect to make from her tour. which lasts four weeks. think it a great thing for Birmingham to get Miss Hall under such circum- stances"

POLICE BAG GANG OF
 A BOYS FOR CAMEL ING
Had Been Making Sunday Afternoon Practice of Shooting Craps
 Near JonesvIlle.

Fourteen boys, only one of whom was over twenty years old, were caught shooting craps yesterday afternoon on the other side of Village Creek in Jones' vile. Chief Austin, Policemen Nix, Eagan and Dickens formed the raiding party. and they had a lively time catching the boys.
 For the past six months this game has been going on every Sunday afternoon, and the people residing in the neighbor- hood have made complaints frequently to the police. Several times attempts have been made to raid the gang, but always without result.
 The boys of the neignporhood gather there every Sunday afternoon, and 1t Is said they gamble, smoke and drink. Four of the boys are sixteen, two seventeen, one thirteen. two fourteen, and the rest about twenty.

TO PROBE JAIL DELIVERY.
Grand Jury Will Probably Begin In
 vestigation This Week.

The grand jury will probably begin this week an investigation into the recent jail delivery. It will be recalled that Judge Samuel E. Greene, In his charge last week, told them it was their duty to make a thorough investigation into the matter and that they were the proper tribunal to do so, having full power to summon all the witnesses they desired.
 , It is probable that tne prisoners in the jail will be brought before the grand jury and questioned as to what they know of the escape. It is hardly possible that such well arranged plan of es- cape as was Duncan's, requiring for its completion weeks of work in saving and filing away bars, could have been car ried out without the knowledge of some aof the prisoners. and the report of the grand jury on this matter will be awaited with much interest.

An Associated Press dispatch from Gin cinnati of yesterdays date, says:
 Word has been received here from New York that w. J.

Cannon"
 This appointment of Mir. Murphy in place of MT. Cannon is regarded as an important change. It is supposed to mean that the increasing business of the South ern Railway makes 1t necessary for MT. Cannon to devote his entire time to that line.
