GAN ENGLISH DAlsY."
Murray and Mack Entertain College
 Boy at the Jefferson.

An English Daisy" was presented at the Jefferson theatre yesterday afternoon and last night. At the evening perform ance there was a large crowd of col- ege boys who gave vent to their en- thusiasm through college yells and ap- rlaue. It was decidedly an Auburn night. The girls on the stage wore Auburn colors in profusion, the corus gave the Auburn yell and the orange and blue was draped about the boxes. From the par quet and the balcony came frequent out bursts from adherents of Auburn who were celebrating the victory over the crimson and white of the University of Alabama. The Auburn eleven occupied the lower ter of boxes on the right and were vocif srously greeted on their ap- pearance. The Tuscaloosa boys were not much in evidence and their colors looked solitary and forlorn in the wealth of orange and blue.
 Murray and Mack are giving an enter tanment this year that has good features and some that could be improved upon A number of very pretty songs are sung the staging and costuming was pleasing to the eye, and there were specialties in- troduced of a high order. but these two clever comedians have made the mistake of choosing a piece that greatly handi- caps them and gives Murray role that is little short of yacuous. 1t is true that Ollie Mack is given more opportunities 10 be funny than Is Murray, but in their de- parture from their previous straight, Irish comedy roles, they are far from being as amusing as they have been in the past
 However the performance was enter taining, and one is accustomed to find shortcomings in all musical comedies. When the comedy is good the music ls poor. when the staging Is effective the chorus is hideous and vice versa. An English Daisy" Is very musical and all the songs were rendered well last night The singing was indeed better than great many musical comedies can boast of. while all the musical numbers were well mounted.
 A feature of the performance worthy of special mention was the dancing of Harry
 I,adell and Mss Elizabeth Young. They
 were loudly encored. Miss Grace Cum
 ninFs was also ylvaeious and pleasing as
 the English Daisy,' and she sings well.

SUPT. LANG OF THE
 TENN CO. IS SHOT
Shooting Occurred at BloCtor
 But Details Are Meagre
PAINFUL BUT NOT SERIOUS
Special Train Went to Blooton to Bring Mir. Lang to Birmingham-Will Be Taken to St.
 Vineent's.

w. S. Lang. superintendent of the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad com pany at Blocton was shot and painfully wounded last night at Dagotown, a su- burb of Blccton.
 The ball entered MT. Lang's leg just above the knee and ranged upward. It came out the fieshy part of the thigh causing a severe but not necessarily dan gerous wound The last reports received from Blooton were to the effect that while MT. Lang was bleeding freely no serious results were expected. Shortly after the report was wired from Bloc ton the telegraph office closed and 1t was impossible to obtain any details of the trouble which led to the shooting.
 A special train bearing pr. Cunningham Wilson and J. NJ. Franklin general super intendent of the Tennessee eompany's s mining department, left Birmingham last night for BloclSton, where the physician will give Mr. Lang every attention. Ar | engagements were made for him to be brought to St. vincent's hospital The special train is due to return at 3:S0 this morning
 It is not known whether the shooting was accidental or whether he was shot as a result of the old trouble at the mines between the United Mine Workers and MT. Lang. Before the strike the union miners were at work under MT. Lang. Friction came about and in May | the union requested that the superin- tendent be discharged. The Tennessee company investigated the miners griev- anoe and as result of the investigation President Don H. Bacon announced that he would stand by MT. Lang and would not ask for his resignation.
 The miners stopped work pending the trouble, but some of them returned and worked Up to the time of the strike.
 MT. Lang has many friends in Birming- ham. who will deeply regret to learn of | the shooting.

The United Mine Workers employed by the commercial operators will receive an advance of 212 cents a ton for cutting coal, the increase dating from Novem- Der 1. They had been getting at the rate of 47Is cents. When the United Mine Workers asked for the advanced based on. the selling price of iron, some of the commercial men were disposed to higgle over the terms of the agreement signed last summer, but when the Commercial Operators association met yesterday it is understood that the 50 cents wage was readily agreed to.

Steel company would assign a wage scale with the United Mine Workers this week. but the rumor was denied most positively by high official of the company last night

 He said: We are mining all the coal we need and are otherwise doing as well as could be desired. Rumors have been put out before. but they were all without foundation and without truth"

LOCAL CAMP PAIGN
 NEARING ITS END
All of the Mayoralty Aspirants
 Seem Very Confident
SOMEBODY MUST BE LEFT
Those Now in the Race Will Stick t out-candidates Are Spending Less Money Than Usual in
 Municipal Campaigns.

This is the beginning of the last week of the municipal campaign in Birmlng- ham, and 1t finds all of the canaioa'es hard at work and sanguine.
 The campaign has been free from plt- terness. as rule. All the candidates seem to be on the best of terms.
 Many persons seem surprised to hnu the campaign closing with all Of the aspirants for the mayoralty still making fight. It was early suggested that be- fore the close several of them would re- tire, but not so.
 Of course somebody must be left in the primary on the Fist, but one cannot find candidate who will countenanee the idea that he is in the losing list
 Three Thousand Registered.
 With only So20 registered voters to can vass. the candidates have had opporeo- nity to make very close polls, and It may seem strange that each of them shoulo figure himself the winner. It does ho' appear to an outsider. however that a nomination for mayor will be made in the first primary
 The two highest candidates will prob ably have to run it off in a second race on the 2sth, and it may be also that one or more places on the police commission will have to be settled in like manner.
 The managers and clerks have been se- lected and everybody seems pleased with 1 the eommittee's work in naming them They are men of high character, and sug- gestions of crookedness in the primary have not been suggested Every one seems sure of a perfectly fair election.
 Not Spending Money.
 It is said that the candidates are moi spending as much money as In some for mer races. The grafter seems to get pretty cold shoulder about the different headquarters. There has been but little betting on the result up to date. It Is said that some of the supporters of Johr ". oNeill are offering small amounts that their favorte will poll the largest vote in the first race Other bettors seem to confine their wagers to betting agains' some one of the candidates, the field prov ing popular in such instances.
 It has been expected that the final wind up of the campaign would prove little more exciting, but the candidates seen to cling to the gum shoe method and thu business man and laboring man neye knows at what hour of the day or nigh that he will have a card pushed at him along with a good spiel for this or tha candidate. There will probably be feV rallies with speech-making before th week is ended. however.
