At the Rllou.

Perhaps the discussion of Frank Duncan that has been rife in town since that dis tinguished criminal was brought back to Birmingham had something to do with 1t, and perhaps Birmingham was in a mood for melodrama last night for the largest audience of the season assembled at the Bijou theatre to witness the opening per fromance of "A Desperate Chance which will be the attraction all this week The balconies were so crowded that the sale of seats to this part of the house was suspended. for fear of over-taxing the capacity of the treatre.
 "A Desperate Chance is melodrama or the most melodramatic order. The play deals with the adventures of the notorious Riddle brothers. Ed. and Jack, who. es- capped from prison in Pittsburg by aid of the warden's wife and were killed while resisting the officers. The story is a thrilling one and It is well told in the play There is excitement of the most intense sort nearly all the time. and the category of human emotions is exhausted. The staging was effective and the com pany as good as one ever finds in melo-

drama. The play seemed to please the crowd immensely, especially in the more strenuous scenes. The interior of the Pittsburg prison was a very realistic bit of stagecraft and the fight in the snow was one of the best climaxes of the kind that has been seen at the Bijou this sea son. Unfortunately, the bungling of stage hands came very near spelling the thrill ing effect of the escape and the desperate flight that eliminated in the death of the two Riddle brothers
 Those in the company who acquitted themselves with credit were: Little Fran ces Clinton, Miss Olga Kilday, Miss Des- mond Kelley and Irwin c. Wilbur and Harry J. Handworth. who played the part of the two Riddle brothers.
 "A Desperate Chance Is rather more sensational than anything of the kind that has been booked at the Bijou this season, but it is effective in it's class and seems to be what the people want.

 PLE-SALES WERE ENORMOUS.

New York, October 17-After securing new high records for the year in many issues, the entire stock market gave way in the last hour today under efforts to press stock for sale. Recessions of one and two points from top prices occurred in a considerable number of issues. Total sales for the day were by far the largest of the year, being 1.974,2Oo shares.

There were other wide-open sales and in general, first transactions were confined mainly to large lots. Trading continued on an enormous scale during the first half hour, with general recessions of hals a point or so under proiit-taking sales.
 The feature of the trading was the great interest shown by out-of- town peo- pie. The wires were kept busy receiving their orders.
 The advance in prices continued until nearly noon. when it was seen that the Pacifcs, Changers and some of the spe- cialties were showing the effects of profit-talSing. Then selling of Union Pa cific in considerable volume caused liqu- dation throughout the list, and many of the advances were lost. The decline was checked by heavy purchases of United States steel preferred and later of Penn sylvania and Erie but the selling was renewed in the last hour. The lowest prices of the day came near the close when the movement to take profits was general The market closed active and irregular.

RODE IS REMOVED
 BY THE PRESIDENT
ROOSEVELT CHOPS OFF THE
 HEAD OF INCOMPETENT su. PERvlsoR OF STEAMBOAT IN. sPEcTIoN SERVICE, NEW YORK.

Washington. October 17.-President Roosevelt today removed from office Robert s. Rodie, supervising inspector of the steamboat inspecting service. second district, located at New York.
 This action was taken on account of the disclosures in the report of the nation al committee appointed to investigate the General Slocum disaster.

 retary Metcalf It is expected that the answers of both Dunont and Barrett will be received py Secretary Metcalf this week.
 It was not known to President Roose- welt until late today that Supervising h. spector Rodie was the holder of presi- dential office. It was supposed by the president when he wrote his letter to Secretary Metcalf on the Slocum report that Rodie was an appofntee of the sec retary of commerce and labor. For that reason he directed the secretary to take steps for the removal of Rodie, Dumont and Barrett. As soon as he learned that Rode held a presidential office, he gave directions that removal papers be sent to him at once from the department of commerce and labor. He signed them and | MT Rode will ue notified by the depart ment that he has been removed.

"The Sultan of suIu.v

''The Sultan of Sulu," which will be seen at the Jefferson theatre tomorrow after noon and night was written by clever George Ade and the music was furnished by Alfred G. Wathall. The piece is called a musical satire and is replete with brilliant features. The fame that Sultan of Sulu' has won in the east advertises this production so well that 1t Is hardly necessary to speak of it's excellence. Peggy from Paris" was good but ''The Sultan of Sulu'' is even better. A feature of this attraction will be a large number of handsome young women who will wear magnificent gowns and will delight the eye in their choruses. The scenic effects will also be elaborate.
 The sale of seats for "The Sultan of Sulu' will begin this morning.

OFFICERS MUST
 SERVE SENTENCE
ST. LOUIS MEN ARE CONVICTED OF FRAUDULENTLY SECURING NATURALIZATION PAPERS FOR ITALIAN IMMIGRANTS.

St. Paul, Minn., October 1.-The United States court of appeals, composed of Judge Vandeventer, presiding, and Judges Hook and Amidon, of the district court, today handed down an opinion affirming the verdict of the United States district court in St. Louis in finding John P. Do Ian, Frank Garrett and Thomas E. Bar rett guilty of aiding and abetting in 1902 in securing fraudulent naturalization pa pers for a number of Italians.
 The sentence of a fine of $l000 each and five years imprisonment at hard labor, was also affirmed
 St. Louis, Mo-, October 17.-Thomas E. Barrett, former marshal of the St. Louis court of appeals; John P. Dolan, formerly chairman of the democratic city central committee, and Policeman Frank Garrett, whose sentence was confirmed by the United States circuit court of appeals at St. Paul, were convicted November 15 last of aiding and abetting fraudulent court in which they were convicted, sem tenced each to five years Imprisonment in the Missouri penitentiary.
 During the course of an investigation eighteen months ago, the federal authori- ties learned that aliens coming to St.. Louis who were not entitled to citizenship, had been naturalized by wholesale; that not only did these applicants often fail to appear at court, but they were handed the necessary papers at their homes. A number of arrests followed these dis closures, and among those caught were Nathan Levin, president of the Berew Jefferson club, and John Barbaglia Levin is now serving five years sentence in the Missouri penitentiary. Barbaglia re- ceived similar sentence, but after he had been confined in the penitentiary about three months, he decided to turn states evidence and revealed the men higher up'' who had prompted him to dispose of bogus naturalization papers to aliens for the purpose of enlisting them as voters. Later. he was pardoned by President Roosevelt.
 It developed at the trail of Barrett, Gar rett and Dolan that Garrett had received the spurious certificates which Dolan had furnished. Further testimony revealed that blank certificates were taken from the office of John Murphy, clerk of St. Louis court of appeals, and an examina- tion of these established the fact that the signature of the clerk was forged by Mar shal Barrett
