OFFICERS AFTER
DECATUR NEGRO
AssAILANT OF MISS BLOOD
WORTH is BELIEVED TO BE
IN BIRMINGHAM OR IN THE I'M
MEDIATE SUBURBS.

Officers from New Decatur arrived N
Birmingham late yesterday evening on
the trail of the negro who assaulted and
killed Miss Belle BloodN1r.h Saturday in
New Decatur as she was returning home
after carrying her fathers supper to him
at his store.
The officers have trailed the negro step
by step and mile by mile from Decatur to
Birmingham, and they believe that he is
now in this city, or in the immediate
suburbs. Last night they called at police
headquarters and secured the aid of the
police department Policemen Ray and
Elledge, with some fresh and well trained
dogs are on the trail of the negro with
the Decatur officers, and they have hopes
of bringing the negro in before morning.
The dogs were put on the mans trail
the night of the attack and they traced
him to a house in New Decatur, and
from that place they have traled the
negro until they reached Irondale. They
have discovered where the negro spent
Sunday night and where he secured his
meals Sunday and yesterday.
Every effort is being made to catch
the negro, and If he is caught he will be
brought to the county Jail here and prob
aDly held until the day of his trial. 1t is
not thought best to carry the negro to
Decatur in case he is captured, for fear
that he would be lynched. Any show of
resistance on the part of the negro will
probably result in his death, for the
men on his trail are determined not to
take the least chance with him.

The curious hastily scurried into adjoin-

A GALAXY OF
SOUTHERN HEROES"
DR.. Orion T. Dozier's New Book Re.
viewed BY Miles Standish of the
New York American.

Below will be found criticism of "A
Galaxy of Southern Heroes and Other
Poems" by DR.. Orion 7. Dozier of this
city from the pen of Miles Standish, liter
airy editor of the New York American.
Mr.. Standish speaks In glowing terms of
Dr. Doziers work, especially when the
author writes of southern heroes. This
criticism of Mr.. Standsh and it's wide
dissemination through the many jour-
nails of the Hearst syndicate is equivalent
to a guarantee of the American people to
DR.. Dozier for a permanent place in the
roster of, famous American authors
"A Galaxy of Southern Heroes and Other
POEMS"
This handsome volume of excellent
poems on varied subjects-in fact, running
the entire gamut of the human emotions
is by Orion T. Dozier, M. D., native
of Birmingham Ala, an ex-Confederate
veteran. and one of the most prominent
professional men in the south. This au-
thor is a poet-doctor. as was the late
Oliver Wendell Holmes. He writes not
for glory or to put money in his purse,
but because he must, and it took the COM
bined efforts of his friends and immediate
family to force from him reluctant con-
sent to have his poems published in en-
during form. Such modesty is highly COM
mendable, nasmuch as it is as rare as
nightingales in snow in this mercenary
age.
DIR. Dozier's poems are all good. Many
of them are excellent and few are sub
lime. The authors humorous sketches are
particularly happy. His poems on the fol-
lies, foibles and selfshness of humanity
are the polished productions of ripe, ex-
pansive and keen observaton-logically
presented. While the poets patriotic vein
Is deep, sincere and eloquent, yet it is
only when he pays his glowing tributes
to the Southern Heroes who supported
heroically the lost cause that he strikes
his truest and most sublime note and
establishes forever his claim to immortal
ity
There is a distinct individuality about
this poets finished stanzas which pre-
cludes the possibility of comparison with
that of any other living poet. His best
work displays the simplicity of true ele-
gance and is undoubtedly the product Of
an extensive literary cultivation. broad
experience and profound knowledge. How
so successful and busy a physician could
find time to make such valuable add
ton to the real literature of the day is a
problem the solving of which would be
of interest to all students of Concentra-
ton or Oneness of Aim "

The heaviest work of the play falls to

ever witnessed at the Bijou. There will
be a matinee today and the show will

erosion Clarke.

Before two enthusiastic audiences yes
terday Creston Clarke and his company
presented Monsieur Beaucaire," a clever
comedy by Booth Harrington and Evelyn
Greenleaf Sutherland. The scenes are
all laid at Bath, and opportunity Is given
for some very elaborate scenic effects.
The story is charmingly told with scenes
we'll woven together. The Duke of Or
leans presents himself in Bath as Mon
sier Beaucaire, a hair dressed, and OBJ
tanned entrance to the pump room at
Bath, where he creates a sensation by
his brilliant wit He sees and loves Lady
Mary Carlisle, the famous beauty of
Bath, and determines to win her in dis
guise. He twits the gentlemen Of Eng
land and invites them to meet him at
all games of chance in his apartments for
any amount, and in the second scene he
is lucky at cards. The Duke of Winterset
gets caught cheating in a game of cards
in the room, and is trapped into intro
ducmg Beaucaire at the ball that night in
the assembly room, the price of the
silence of those who caught him.
At the ball Monsieur Beaucaire is in
PRODUCED as a nobleman of France and
meets the Lady Mary, who falls in love
with him and favors him above all others.
Captain Badger, a famous swordsman,
picks a fight and is wounded by the Mon
sieur.
In the next act the Duke of Winterset
disclose the identity of the Monsieur, de-
claring him to be the hairdresser in dis
guse. The Lady Mary has just given
him her promise but upon this disclosure
she forsakes him and goes to the Duke,
who is also seeking her hand in mar
riage. This follows an attempt by half
a dozen of the Englishmen to cowhide
the Monsieur before the lady. His friends
rescue him after he has wounded three
of his assailants.
In that act he promises TO attend the
assembly a week from that night, and
in the fifth act is the assembly room.
The grounds are closely guarded to pre-
vent the Monsieur from attending, but he
succeeds in gaining entrance. The Lady
Mary, in pretty and effective love scene,
declares that she loves him and will go
to the end of the world with him. The
ambassador from the French court ar
rives during the assembly and the idsn-
tity of the Monsieur is disclosed. And so
1t ends happily.
Creston Clarke was excellent in the
part Indeed, not better portrayal of
Monsieur Beaucaire could be asked.
very beautiful, typical English beauty
whose stony heart melts to the ardent
love-makng of the Frenchman Edward
Lester, as Beau Nash, figured in the
comedy scenes which tended to enliven
the play. He was good Roy Clements,
as Mr.. Molyneaux. the friend of Mon
sieur. did some clever acting in several
scenes when 1t was needed.
