"Under Southern skles."

Lottie Blair Parker's play, Under Southern Skies," was presented at the Jefferson theatre yesterday afternoon and last night The play tells a pretty story and comes very near to realizing the spirit of the old south that so many dramatists have striven for in vain The various roles were interpreted by a large company, in which there were sev- eral members of conspicuous talent and also several whose talent was not ap- parent on the surface of things.
 One of the weakest points in all south ern dramas Is the introduction of negro characters on the stage. Not one man in a hundred can play a negro part con- vincingly and few men outside of the minstrel and vaudeville performances, The majority of them at best achieve but an impossible burlesque. This is true in Under Southern Skies.' While Miss Hattie Arnold showed painstaking effort and really had role that gave her won- derful advantage and permitted the use of exceptionally strong lines as Aunt Doshey, she was unable to remove the impression that she was still white woman and not the motherly old black nanny" whom she endeavored to DOT tray As for the other negro characters, they were absurd earicatures, although their singing of old time southern melo- u1eS was a rare treat anu tudue lHc hit of the evening.
 In the company Edwin B. Loring as Col. Mayor. Willard Perry as Col. Dau- beny, Ford Sterling as Burleigh Mayor and Henry Walthall as Steve Daubeny were all good, while Charles A. Bouton and Miss Minnie Victorson who played leading parts, were very disappointing.
 The play was, however, very pleasing and was evidently enjoyed. The drama was prettily staged and the Halloween romp was admirably carried out. Scenes familiar to all who live fin and love the south were reproduced with considerable accuracy and the two old fire eaters, Colonel Mayor and Colonel Daubeny, proved very entertaining characters, but the efforts to arrive at real southern dia- lect were painful at times. It is remark able how woefully playwrights some times err in their attempts to put south ern colIoauialsms in the mouths of their characters Either a superabundance of s.reckons" "allows" and "aints'' or else plenty of pronounced bad grammar are deemed all that Is necessary to make a southern colonel, so long as he has a big hat. flowing locks and an appetite for mint ju1eps

BURNETT WORKING
 FOR CO0SA RIVER
CONGRESSMAN FROM SEVENTH DISTRICT DOES NOT DISCUSS POLITICS, BUT TAKES PLEAS uRE TALKING ABOUT CoosA.

Congressman John L. Burnett of Gads- den, hale and hearty and very buoyant about his signal victory over his republi- candidate in the recent elee- tion. stopped at the Metropolitan last night en route to Montgomery, where he goes on legal business.
 Notwithstanding the fact that MT. Bur nett defeated his opponent by the hand some majority of 2000, the largest major ity given a democratic candidate in the Seventh district In several years, he steadfastly declines to discuss politics, but harps on the industrial and educa- tional advantages of Alabama.
 He incidentally boosted the Coosa river and the bill now pending in con gress introduced by him providing for the sale of the government lands of the state for the benefit of the public schools of Alabama.
 T shall fight with all the force that can command" he said, flor the passage of the public land bill. The bill provides for the sale of 5000 acres of mineral lands in this state owned by the govern ment, the same to be divided among the public schools. The land, 1t is estimated, will bring over S1,000,000. This, given to our common schools, will greatly aid in upbuilding the cause of education in Ala bama."
 ''The bill has already been reported favorably by the committee and l hope to secure its passage at the coming ses- sion of congress"
 Mir. Burnett speaks interestingly of the future of the Coosa river, and asserts that this river will play a very prominent part in the future development of Ala bama. We shall endeavor to get an appropriation for the opening of the Coosa from lock to Wetumpka.' he said. When this is carried out the river will then be navigable from Rome to Mobile bay, a distance of about 800 miles. This week party of government engineers inspected the river for the purpose of sub hitting a report on It's proposed devel- opment. The Coosa is one of the most important water courses in the state, and when it Is opened will be great agency in the development of the state"

ROOSEVELT WILL
 PRESENT CRUM CASE
President Will Insist on Having the Appointment Either Confirmed
 or Defeated.

Washington, November 16.-(Special)- It is stated here today that the President will send to the senate as soon as con- gress ocnvenes the nomination of N. D. Crum for the Charleston. s. C., collector ship.
 This will be taken to mean that the President has not changed his views about appointing negroes to office in the south. The President has determined to insist that a vote be taken in the senate and Crum either confirmed or defeated. During the Roosevelt administration the southern senators have stood solidly be- hind the South Carolina senators and have prevented a vote. Crum in the meantime has been holding the office owing to re- cess appointment, but has been drawing no salary.
 Should he be confirmed he will draw back pay from the time he was first ap- pointed.
