SECRETARY ROOT
 IS HURRYING HOME
THE COLUMBIA WILL BE SENT TO
 COLON FOR THE EXPRESS PUR- POSE OF BRlNING THE PARTY BACK TO THE UNITED STATES.

Washington, September H.-Dispatches were received at the navy department to- day announcing the departure of the cruls- CT Charleston from Calloa, Peru, last night for Panama, and the arrival off Colon yesterday of the cruiser Columbia from Guantanamo. Secretary Root and family are aboard the Charleston after cruise around South America.
 The present plans not being changed they will leave the Charleston at Panama and cross the isthmus to Colon, where they will embark for home on the Co., lumbia.s
 It is intimated that Secretary Root might conclude to continue his cruise on the Charleston to San Francisco and r>- turn to Washington overland. but in view of the critical situation in Cuba, 1t Is almost certain that he will follow the quicker route by way of the Gulf of Mexico. The Columbia will be sent to Colon for the express purpose of bringing Secretary Root and party back to the United States and it is now believed that vessel will be used in taking Secretary Root to Havana in order that he may assist Secretary Taft and Assistant Sec retary Bacon respectively, in re-establish- Ing the Cuban republic on a stable and permanent basis unless that consummation has been establishedvbkqjtaoisC Canscmfw has been reached before the possible arrival of the Secretary of State.
 According to present calculations Sec retary Root should arrive at Colon about the 24th and would be able to make the trip to Havana on the swift Columbia in a few days,
 The executive committee of the mod crate party at the meeting this evening voted to continue its efforts for peace. Terms were informally discussed. It is generally agreed that Secretary of War Taft must be the eventual arbiter, and both in Cuban and foreign business cir cles the hope is freely expressed that not only will the United States settle the present strife, but that the American government will retain sufficient hold upon Cuban affairs to prevent repiti- tion of the past months experiences.

Columbus, O., September f-Opening day of the Columbus grand circuit races meeting brought forth splendid weather, a. fast track and plenty of record-breaking performances. Ardelle, the favorite won the days feature, the Hotel Hartman purse of $5OO0 for 2:15 pacers, but not until Italia, a Cleveland mare, had sprung a big surprise by capturing the second heat in 2:04L, reducing her previous record by 5 seconds.

New Gayety.

Robie's Knickerbockers, strong or- for the beauty of the costumes and the excellent olio of vaudeville features, op- ened a weeks engagement at the New Gayety theatre yesterday.
 There is no questioning the statement that it is the best of the three companies which have been to the Gayety this sea- son, and in some features it equals any of the big attractions that come to Bir- mingham.
 The performance opens with musical extravaganza, entitled, The Arrival Of Prince Hadji.' which Is a clever satire, thrown together in such an attractive style that it Is highly entertaining. If it served no other purpose, it allows the management to introduce one very pretty stage setting and chorus of shapely girls appearing in eight musical numbers with as many changes of costumes. These costumes are striking to say the least. and two of them are as pretty and as unique as will be seen in Birmingham this year. One of these is the College Stu dents," an act in which each of the girls represents some one of the large col leges The girls are dressed in the col- lege colors and on the front of each dress appears the first letter of the college name. It's worth seeing.
 The other Is great novelty and Louis Robie originated 1t. The girls appear on the stage seemingly in dresses reaching to the ankle It looks like a conventional stage costume of striking colors At the end of the first verse of the song the girls suddenly wheel and on the other side they are dressed in tights. It Is similar in idea to Gibsons famous picture with a beautiful girl on one side and woman in evening dress on the other half. The nov city is called ''The hx1s Sextette."
 The vaudeville portion of the bill in- cludes Jennings and Jewel. two German comedians, with some clever new Jokes and a fresh song or two. The Great Chris ty, billed as the man who juggles some, is clever in his juggling, using balls, hats. canes and anything else on the stage that comes handy. Flo Elliott and Ben Neff have comedy act in which there are some jokes. little dancing and two or three songs well worth listening to a second time. A troup of Russian dancers conclude the olio. The man in this troup of five is unusually good. The act Is a novelty. The performance concludes with one-act comedy entitled. Lonesome Luke's Luck" in which all the members of the company have parts.

BARONS AND FELL CITY
 CLASH THIS AFTERNOON

The present aggregation of Barons will be seen in action for the last time this season this afternoon, when at o'clock, the strong and aggressive aggregation from Pell City is encountered.

 The indications are that large bunch or baseball lovers will be on hand when the first ball of the game is tossed. It is probable that Wilhelm will deliver the goods for the Barons. Mcfarland will

 The final act was balancing novelty that was sensational. Sansome balanced his partner, Della, pretty little wom- an, in various poses. and in each the least slip would ,have beant serious &C., cident The majestograph concluded the bill with two pictures, one showing the Olympic games in Greece.

 As is known, the receipts of the game will go to the fellows who won the pen nant for Birmingham. Manager Pratt, in charge of the Pell City aggregation, will not share the receipts. his team being satisfied when it's expenses are paid.
 The revenue from the sale of score books will also be turned over to the Barons, this courtesy being extended by Joe Spaniard.

relates how young girl in a Vermont village was being persecuted by a wicked step-father Baxter, in the person of MT. Toler, butts in' and takes the heroines part. He manages to inject breezy re- marks here and there and is inevitably on the spot when most wanted. This ad- mirable quality of always being on time progress of Baxter into the girls heart that he is soon quite at home there They marry eventually, of course, and the vil- lage sharpers are properly chagrined. There Is a vein of comedy running through the play which serves to relieve the ten sion. Musical comedy features are fur nished by a chorus of girls. A number of pleasing song specialties are introduced.
 The staging of How Baxter Butted In' is complete and correct in detail One act offers rural scene. with a duck pond and several other features, that in quite realistic.
 Sidney Toler plays the part of sypical drummer much in the same fashion that he did last year He won applause last night. The supporting company is fair At the Majestic.
 There is lots of life in the Majestic bill this week There Is variety enough to suit the most fastidious As the curtain raiser, Ed La Vine. man who has "soldiereG" all his life. presents mix ture of comedy and juggling that is anus ing and entertaining. He does not need to bow to any jugger in this land, for there are none cleverer than he is in his particular line Some of his feats cannot be excelled.
 Two pretty girls and we'll dressed man in a singing and dancing speciality come next. The girls are known as the Keeley Sisters and Arthur Stuart is the man. The girls are pretty, shapely and clever dancers, while Stuart exces in the art.
 When Walter Washburn and company in "A Hundred to One Shot, first took the stage last night 1t looked as if the act might be a disappointment. but it steadily improved and before 1t was con cluded 1t proved to be one of the best numbers on the bill. The play is the story of jockey who falls in love with the sis ter of the man for whom he rides. The man wants a crooked race, but the boy promises the girl to ride square" and he does so, winning after all. She loves him and he loves her. but she Is promised to another and has to give the jockey up It is a clever little act with some inter- esting scenes. and 1t was excellently played by Lucy E. Mcknight and Wal ter Washburn.
