VINCENT LECTURES
AT HIGH SCHOOL
Few Speakers Heard In Birmingham
Have Made as Good an I'M
preston.

George Edgar Vincent, professor OF soci-
oiogy in the University of Chicago, de-
livered lecture in the Lyceum course at
the High school auditorium last night
His subject was THE Mind of the Mob"
The lecturer was introduced by DR.. ].
H. Phillips, who made a happy little
speech in which he alluded to the fact
that while Professor Vincent was born in
Illinois his father was an Albanian;
was born in Tuscaloosa.
Professor Vincent is of handsome ply
sique and his manner is captivating. His
presentation of the theories of the crowd
or mob psychology" was enlivened with
concrete Illustrations and not a dry SEN
tence came from his lips. Indeed few
neighoorhood, and the loss will amount to
son have been so pleasing and none, per-
haps, has been SO sparkling.
The audience was not very large, but it
was thoroughly appreciative If Profess
sor Vincent should return to Birmingham
he would, without doubt, be greeted with
a crowd.
This afternoon at 3:15 o'clock, DR.. F. Fl.
Clark will make an address on THE Eff
feet of Literature on the Community

the public is invited. There will be no

atrical season Manager Douglas said that
it had been remarkable in many ways.
He said that the jefferson had done big
business despite several mishaps.
Speaking for the jefferson only" said
Manager Douglas. the past season has
been all that could be desired. Good
shows have played to crowded houses as
rule, and it has been my endeavor TO
provide nothing but the best. On several
occasions the house lost large sums of
money from first one cause and then an
other.
IF it had not been for a wreck which
prevented the "Raffles" company from
getting here in time to play maintee
engagement on Thanksgiving Day, l am
or the opinion that the Jefferson receipts
would be ahead Of the total amount taken
IN last year. We were also forced to re-
fund large amount of money because of
misunderstanding about the engage
ment of Lillian Russell. After the house
had been sold out the manager for the
singer sent word to the theatre that she
would not sing.
The fact that the Jefferson was dark
during the week of the state fair also
cuts quite figure. The Clansman' was
booked for three nights that week
through some misunderstanding about
the date Of the fair and every one is
familiar with the action of the Birmng-
ham council in not permitting Dixon s
piece to be presented here.
I'm spite of these big losses. however,
the Jefferson has done splendid business
and has endeavored to provide the best
attractions.

HOME RULE HURTS
ENGLISH CREDIT
UNIoNIsT SAYS SERIOUS DECLINE
HAS BEEN BROUGHT ABOUT BY
FEARS OF IRISH SELF-GOVERN-
MENT.

London, March 1S-In the house of COM
mons today, the house was questioned by
unionists and other members on the price
of consols In an attempt to draw the in
ference that the decline in British credit
was coincident with the attempts of the
government, as in 1885, to grant home rule
to Ireland. The ministers ignored the in
situations. but in reply TO a question by
Sir Howard Vincent, conservative, as to
whether steps were contemplated to re-
store the national credit, the chancellor
OF the exchequer Mr. Asquith, said while
the government fully recognized the Sc
riouS characted of the decline it could not
accept the statement that the credit of
Great Britain was lower than within
memory of the living. Many of the
causes contributing to the decline in Brit
ish government stocks and of most other
high class securities during the last ten
years were International in their opera
ton, and independent of government con-
troll. He might instance the increased de-
mand for money consequent on the rise
in the ruling rates of interest due to the
exceptional commercial and industrial ac-
tivity at home and abroad, and also to
the necessity for replacing the capital de-
stroyed as a result of the San Francisco
earthquake and other disasters.
On the other hand, the enormous in
crease in the national expenditures. the
neglect to make adequate provision for
the redemption of the national debt and
for the freedom with which new obliga-
tons were created, undoubtedly affected
the national credit. The steps which the
government proposed were to reduce the
expenditures and strengthen the sinking
fund and avoid as far as possible borrow
ing for current expenditures.

DEAF AND DUMB HOAX
LANDS HIM IN JAIL
Unknown Man Was Working
Unusual Scheme
GETTING PLENTY TO DRINK
BY Accusing Combination of Sympathy
and Mirth He Was Having jolly
Good Time at Various
Saloons.
GETTING PLENTY TO DRINK

Fake was the unusual charge placed
ON the docket last night against an I'M
known man. The fellow in question had
found 1t a paying business to pass him
self off as deaf and dumb just when the
notion struck him. BY such a plan he
managed to arouse the sympathy, or the
mirth, of the jolly good fellows around
the saloons and to get as many fr<e
drinks as he wanted
Policeman Walker noticed the fellow on
his beat in front of McVay's saloon
carrying on the performance quite sue
eessfully. On another round the officer
found him bland and talking as glibly
as parrot even going so far as to offer
the policeman a drink, which was re-
fused.
But on the next round this changeabe
individual had again assumed his role
and was dumb as q bat. He could not
even speak lingo. nor hear the thunder
should it roar. Facial grimaces and
numerous finger movements were the only
thing he seemed able to do, except drink
whisky and beer.
Just as a test Mr.. Walker called Plain
Clothes Policeman Smith to the saloon
and left him to watch No sooner had
Walker gone than the fellow opened his
mouth and talked as If by miracle. The
patrol wagon took him to JAIL but when
arrived in the wardens office he had
turned mute again, and refused to tell his
name. Whether he is finding it bene-
fetal to fake the Jail birds by his scheme
is not known.

including Mayor Ward, having been alb

Alderman Moore will start the ball roll
