place in my behalf, if the man now under arrest proves to be the right man. They tell me that New York Harry Is quite desperate man, but up to the time he and Frank Miller killed the two policemen In Birmingham, I had never heard Of nim taking the life of anyone"
 For the past few days Duncan has been quite blue. He has walked up and down In his little cell continually, and has only seemed at ease when he nad some one to talk to.
 It is understood there is an indictment against New York Harry in the hands of the sheriff of Jefferson county. The indictment does not charge murder, 1t is said, but does charge the criminal with highway robbery. The indictment of New York Harry followed the famous Stand ard oil company safe robbery, which was done by the Miller and Duncan gang few hours before Policemen Adams and Kirkley were shot down on Twentieth street near the Hood building. It is understood that the solicitor oi Jefferson county will exert all of his eff forts to have New York Harry brought back to Birmingham for trial, but 1t if hardly probable, 1t is said, that he will be successful.

Webber and Fred Wyckoff, tho cheery old farmer, who never fails to bring forth a storm of applause with his performances. WyelSoff is one of the best character comedians who has ever been seen here. He accomplishes the difficult task of making A much-worn role. and one that has been much abused screamingly funny. He Is a fine dancer. and his humor Is thoroughly entertaining. Tn fact, MT Wyckoff divides honors with George Sid ney In the fun-making. while Miss Web Der sings and dances most aoceptably. Charles LoMier as the 'hobo," was also good. and his one song was n feature of tho. performance. Miss Maud Campbell also made capital soubretts.
 Mr Sidney has brought with him well drilled chorus thls year. As usual some of the girls are better looking than the others. but all of them dance well and the ensemble effects, when permitted, were pleasing to the eye.
 There Is the barest suggestion of plot to Busy lazy" The piece Is simply succession of musical numbers inter- spersed with all kinds of fun-making, and evidently pleased the big audience last night. The song hits of last year were nearly all retained for this season. while the general character of the production is the same.
 Sidney is one of those unctuous, clum- l sy looking stage Hebrews. and even when his jokes miss the mark he is saved by his acting and his makeup. The Bijos theatre will no doubt do record-break ing business this week, for Busy fzzy' Is one of the best shows Of its kind tha
 will be seen at this playhouse durin 1 the present season.

nOur New Man" !"

Clever Harry Beresford appeared at the Jefferson theatre yesterday afternoon and last night in his new play. "our New Man" This play Is far from being so delightful a comedy as "The Professors 8 Love Story" which was his starring ve- hicle for last year, but 1t abounds In humorous situations and gives ample op- portunity for the display of MT. Beres- ford's talents. The action Of the story deals principally with an exchange of baggage in which a diamond necklace goes astray and a case of mistaken iden- tIty results. In order to conceal the fact that he has unavodably come into possession of the valise which contains the diamond necklace, MT. Beresford, as Truman Toots, A. s. 8. and F. A. B. s.. poses as a new hired man and gets into all kinds of trouble. One predicament fol- lows close upon another until the laugh- ter is prolonged.
 MT. Beresford is very pleasing comed- ian Although he belongs to the younger generation of fun-makers and has been a star but a short time he has already achieved for himself an enviable repu- tation. In "The Professors Love Story last year he was inimitable and 1t is to be regretted that he was not fortunate enough to get play this season equally as good. His humor is of the quiet re- fined kind that stirs the disabilities with out effort and keeps the audience in a | good humor.
 | As usual MT. Beresford is carrying a | fairly balanced company this year. Miss Julia Bachelder gave him good support
 while Lyster Chambers as Forest Haynes
 ar artist. and A. Burt Wesner as Peter
 Morrison, the tanner king, were also l good

There was not a dull moment during the piece and Sydney demonstrated that he Is one of the most entertaining comed- ians who has ever been seen at the Bi- jou.
 MT. Sidney was seen here last year in Busy lazy" and was cordially received. The production is styled a musical farce and as such is well constructed for laugh provoking purposes.

COLLINS MANAGER
 FOR JOHN U NELL
Says He is Going to Wage Wig
 orous Campaign
FIGHT IS NOW WARMING UP
Registration Is Picking Up, Though the Number of Voters Is Not Near Up to That of the Last
 Campaign.

It was announced last night that J. D. Collins would manage the campaign of John W. o'Nein in the present race for mayor.
 MT. Collins said last night that he was a stauneh supporter of MT. oNeill and that he would begin immediately the or ganization of a movement to land him in the office. T believe MT. O'Neill will win in the second if not the first primary, and am confident that he will lead the ticket in both races" said MT. Collins We are going to wage a vigorous fight and 1 am confident that we will be suc- eessful'
 M. II. erittenden Is now the only candi- date for mayor who has not announced his campaign manager. Henry R. Howze is manager for c. S. Simmons. Fred M. Jackson is manager for George B. Ward and R. F. Lewis is manager for John C.. Forney.
 Campaign Warming Up.
 The campaign is beginning to warm up with the thorough organization of the va- rious committees The candidates. as
  that it is rather difficult to put much life into a campaign which is practically de- void of issues. They are all personal friends, and as the campaign Is based almost entirely on personal popularity, there Is little to be done in the way of political fighting.
 MT. Collins, who will manage Mr. n ic chant, and has taken very active in- terest in the proceedings of the board of trade. He Is vice-president of that organization and was formerly the pres ident. He will be materially assisted in his work by J. H. McCary, a prominent Morris avenue merchant, who will serve as chairman of a general advisory board. MT. McCary is also an active member of the board of trade. He was also once president of that body.
 Registration Picking Up.
 The registration books will be kept open be the last chance for voters to get a chance to vote. The registration has been little slow up to the last few days. With the close of yesterdays work the books showed that a few over 2100 had registered This is about 1000 short of the registration of the last municipal election. It Is expected that a large num- Der of voters will register today.
 Many persons appear to be under the impression that the life certificates will entitle them to vote regardless of regis tration. This is an error, as every dem ocratic voter has to register to vote ln the coming election.
