BURNETT PLEASED
 WITH PROHIBITION
CONGRESSMAN SPENDS NIGHT IN CITY AND WILL GO TO ST, LOUIS CONDITIONS.

Congressman Burnett Of the Seventh district arrived in Birmingham at o'clock this morning and took rooms at the Metropolitan hotel. He will leave on the early Louisville and Nashville train to Cullman and on to St. Louis.
 Mir Burnett just returned to Gadsden two weeks ago. We're going prohib- ton two to one in Btowah." said he, "and when the time comes to vote on the 29th l would not be surprised to see the ma- jorlty larger still" He was overjoyed to hear of the victories in Tuscaloosa and Talladega.
 The congressman reiterated his views of foreign immigration as recently expressed on his return from Europe. ''I intend to do all 1 can for the restriction and purifi- cation of the foreigners landing in America.
 T received a telegram the other day from Congressman Bartholdt urging mo to attend the waterways convention at St. Louis. 1 am especially interested m the actions of the committee since the Tennessee passes through one of my counties, but l agree with The Age Herald that SSO0OO.O00 ought not to be spent on this project, while Alabama waterways go to waste. 1 think 1t should be q sepaarte undertaking without any connection with the general river and harbor appropriations. 1t Is for this req son that am attending, as I hope to pro- tect the interests of my state."

The Four Mortons,

.grhe Big Stick" a comedy by George V. Hobart. which was presented at the Bijou theatre last night for the opening per formance of weeks engagement, Is d unioue offering The comedy Is bright enough in itself, but the Mortons are re- sponsible for much of its success. These four entertainers easily won their way into the affections of Birmingham thea tre-goers last night, and while they were not well known here before, it Is safe to assume that they will not be forgot ten now that the people have become ac- ouainted with their ability. Kate Morton is the old Irish mother. Sam Morton IS the quaint old Irish father and Paul Mor- ton and Clara Morton the son and daugn- fer respectively. Sam Morton Is the life of the piece as an Irish contractor who can not forget the days and the ways when he yielded a pick. He Is fine comedian, and his comedy at all times is particularly rich without any exaggera- tlon. Miss Clara Morton Is a close sec onde for her engaging personality and the fetching way in which she sings her songs. Each of her specialties commando ed enthusiastic encores. It has been a long time since a young woman or such attraction and charm has graced the stage at the BiJOu. Ille bpttlhlllcS ililOhb'Nb by the Mortons were all good, especially a difficult dancing turn in the third act.
 The story of 'The Big Stick" deals with inc fortunes of an excellent Irish family, inc Donohues The father, who snacks of the soil of Erin, with an American veneer. has saved up by grinding toll and close economy the sum of $5OoO. and plans to become d contractor. In the meantime his son. Danny. has been speculating and has become involved to the extent of $50O0. The old man gives up hls little fortune to save his son. However, the home be- longs to Danny, and certain street rail- way developments make 1t exceedingly valuable. IL Is eventually sold for q price that places the deserving Donohues in affluence for the remainder of their lives.
 There is some delightful comedy in the niece and several scenes that created an uproar last night, notably an engage ment the elder Donohues had with spa ehetti In their new mansion. In addi- ton to the Mortons, Tony Hart, Bitou favorite. did well as German music teacher, while Marion Sherwood was quite all1ring as a firtatious lady agent Miss Morton's song numbers were captivat- ing.

PARKER THINKS
 ACTION IS LEGAL
HE WANTS THE COUNCIL MuDDLE STRAIGHTENED OUT IN COURTS. UNWILLING TO HOLD THE OF. FlCE ILLEGALLY.

President John L. Parker of the City Council, when seen yesterday made a statement of his position relative to the council squabble. This Is his first ex- pression on the subject.
 At the time 1t was suggested that the council proceed to organize under the new code, I, with others, obtained legal opinion. and was assured that it was not only proper, but constitutional, to so or ganize. This was also confirmed by City Attorney Smith. In my mind there is no question of the council as now organ ized being legally constituted Section 19o is as follows:
 Amy municipal corporation existing under the laws of this state at the time of the passage of this act. which shall desire to organize it's present city govern ment under thep rovisions hereof at once, may, by the passage of an ordinance by the governing body of such city or town, stating that in the judgment of such governing body, That 1t is for the best interest of such city or town to organize under this act. and that the city or town is hereby declared to be organized under the general municipal laws of Alabama, and that the then existing offices and of ficers of said city or town shall continue to exist and to hold such offices until the time fixed herein for their term to expire as provided in section two of this act" The then existing governing body shall proceed to elect such other officers as are required by this act and not pro- vided for by the charter of such city or town, who shall hold office until the first election hereunder and until their successors are elected and qualified. Should there be any office existing under the charter of such city or town not authorized by this act, such office shall cease te exist at the first election hereunder
 Therefore by the adoption of an ordl. nance such as Is suggested in the sec. tion, the adoption of the municipal code becomes effective at once. The then governing body shall proceed to elect sucf officers as are required by this act wht shall hold their office until the first cleo. tion under this act. If the language ol section two and Is creates any uncer. tainty as to the time when the adop- tion of the code becomes operative, that uncertainty Is removed by section 19t which provides that the adoption of the code becomes operative immediately. However. since the question of the legality has been raised, l personally de sire that the matter be settled by com. petent court at once, and will abide by any decision handed down. If the adop. tion was illegal I have no desire to oc cupy the chair a moment. I am inter ested in Birmingham, all my bushes. 1sshere, and the sooner these question. arc settled the better for the city"

44,683 PEOPLE SAW CIRCUS YESTERDAY Birmingham, Circus Hungry SwampS Ticket Sellers GAVE THREE PERFO ORMANCES Crowd Was So Great Before Noon That Gates Were Thrown Open.
 Greatest Single Day In
 Shows History.
GAVE THREE PEREZ FORMANCES

The total admission to the three per formances given by the John Robin son circus yesterday was 44.6S3, practi- cally one-third of the population of Greater Birmingham. Only two per- formances were billed-one at-2 o'clock and the other at o'clock, but such a great crowd had collected before noon that the first performance was begun at 12:30. another at and the evening performance at the hour scheduled.
 The people of Birmingham were cir GUS hungry, and almost made of the day holiday. The parade in the morn ing was witnessed by thousands who lined up on the sidewalks to watch It pass. At the grounds they fairly fought to get to the ticket wagons. large mob being gathered around the ticket sellers long before the noon hour approached. Seeing that even thestre- mendous tents, which house the circus could not accommodate all Of the crowd at one performance, Governor John Robinson nodded his head ana prepared for an early rush or pusl- ness. The attendance at the nrst per formance was 13,427 the second had 15.534, while the third carried off the prize with l5,12z
 This breaks all previous records TOT attendance at this circus for three per formances in one day, the former champion having been Bluefield, w. Va, which sent 37,721 people last year. Ihe John Robinson circus has had an eX- fstence of eighty-six years, ana mas never had disastrous season. m oomparison to the above figures, the smallest attendance ever received by if was b26 which turned out at Ran toul, H., in 1905. ,..
 The menagerie was well filled with animals of all kinds The circus was big and good. There were three rings, two stages, hippodrome track, mid-air arena and the wild west realm. The trained horses were especially good, and nerformed some wonderful tricks. showing almost human intelligence in carrying them out The high school horse ridden by Miss Irene Schroder was exceedingly good. The bareback riding, bar performing, tumbling, music and the funny clows totaled melanse of novelty and merriment.
 Large numbers of people were turned away at every performance, and especially at the performance last night. where it seemed as though as many people were turned away as were admitted. Coyernor John Robinson, the owner of | the circus, is known among the circus l folk as the dean of the sawdust ring | He has accumulated an immense TOT 1 tune with the business, and the mag nincent turning out yesterday caused l him to wax eloquent In ms praises oi 1 Rirmin gham.
