MINSTREL SHOW
GREAT SUCCESS
High School Boys Put Up Great
Northumberland
Makes Hit.

The large hall at Mckinley High
School was crowded to the doors last
night at the annual minstrel show of
the "Jolly Students. - And jolly
students they were and no mistake.
From the rise of the curtain to the last
line of the dialogue, there was not a
dull moment, and the audience was
kept convulsed with laughter at the
clever hits got off by the end men.
Nobody was spared. From the prin-
cipal of the school down to the latest
freshman, everybody was properly josh
ed, and some of the jokes were very
clever from anybody's point of view.
Before the curtain was raised, or
rather drawn aside, the entire cast
sang a school song in praise of Bill
Rice, the captain of the football team,
and were then disclosed standing in
regular minstrel costume and black
face, while the four end men with
bones and tambourine were picturesque
and comic enough to please anybody.
The hit of the evening was made by
Arthur Lando in his song Somebody
Lied" He sang two verses of the
original song, and, as he was encored
again and again, came out with con-
tinued verses teeming with school
topical hits.
There was very pretty addition to
the program in the dancing of two
dainty little creatures, who, dressed in
a fancy costume of school colors,
tripped their way right into the hearts
of the audience. They were Rosie
Herbert and Hazel auckland, and their
dancing was as perfectly rehearsed as
it was naturally graceful
Kenneth Ables was a very dignifed
and imposing interlocutor and kept his
end men going in great shape. The
latter were a quartet of really remark
able talent, and the comic business
that they went through, much of which
was impromptu, was really up to the
best of professional form.
The following was the complete pro-
gram:

 The style of the corporation is ''Pathe Fereres", and its home is at No. 9S Tue RichIieu, Paris France Tn fil- ing notification of its entrance into Alabama the corporation states that it has been organized under the laws of the State of New Jersey which was a very ordinary and dull but perhaps highly profitable thing for 1t to do. and that its chief ofice in the United States Is in Jersey City, which is not strik- ingly novel domicile for a corporation to select. s- .-
 The purpose of the corporation is a bit more interesting. It Is the i'm. portation. exportation, purchase use, sale. lease or other disposition of cin- ematographical negatives and posi- tives. cinematographical apparatus and other material of like character, which
 Is to say, being translated, that the company Is to deal in moving pictures and moving picture shows too, for if may acquire real estate and other things. .

COURT IN DOTHAN |.
Grand Jury to Probe Lynching and Sen
 sati0n May Result.

Grand Jury to Probe Lynching and Sen-
 satiOn May Result.
 Dothan, April 29.-(Speciai.) )-Circuit Court is in session here, Judge Pearce presiding.
 The civil docket was. taken up Mon- day and will occupy the attention of the court until Thursday of next week. when the criminal docket will be ta- ken up, and continued for the fematnS der of the three weeks allotted -tfrts term. .... -..
 The special feature of the. court this week, was the charge of Judge Pearce to the grand jury and it Is claimed that a stronger aor more impressive charge has never before been delfv- cred to Houston County jury. He especially condemned the lawless act of the lynchers which occurred~here some few months ago. saying that the prominence of the persons involved should by no means have weight with the body, unless to make them the more careful to do their sworn duty, and assured them that If bills were returned and the persons came before his court their act would be punished to the extent of the law, If convictions could be secured.
 It Is thought that some of Doth ans prominent cltizenry are involved, and 1t is believed that evidence wi1l be of- fered the grand jury tending to secure a bill which will be quite a surprise to the public.

 All the attractions at the park will be operated the coming summer as they were last summer. The conces- sions will be awarded by General Man- ager Ragland.

The opening program has not yet been ar- ranged.

At o'clock yesterday morning the gauge was 30.4 feet at Montgom- cry and 30. 8 feet at Wetumpka with the statement that the water was about stationary.
 At Selma the gauge read 35.2 feet, with the report that the water was still rising. The rise at Selma will continue through this morning, when it is thought that the height of the rise will be reach
 Generally fair weather prevailed over the South yesterday, but an area of low barometer then moving south east ward over Southern Texas was caus- ing increasing cloudiness In that State with showers reported in the western portion. This area of low 1t Is thought will cause scattered showers in DOT tions of Alabama today but the rain from these showers is not expected to be very, great.
 The area of low Is being followed quickly by an area of high barometer covering the entire west and giving fair and cooler weather in that section of the country.

CANYONS WITHDRAWAL.
Rumored That 1t Will Be in Interes
 of Taft.

VI washington opSClda
 One of Speaker Cannon's closest friends who has been extremely active in promoting his candidacy for the Presidency, announced late this after noon that within a fortnight the Speaker would take himself out of the Presidential race and ask hds support CTS to go to Taft
 The news flashed through Washing ton and caused consternation in the ranks of the allies. Actual confrma- ton of the report was sought. but was not forthcoming. The announoeueft is believed In certain quarters, however, and those who do believe 1t assert that 1t is the first sign of disintegTation, which means the utter collapse of the anti-Taft campaign.
 At the White House the President wears the grin of the Cheshire cat, which has just swallowed the canary. At the Taft headquarters Frank H. Hitchcock smiles blandlY and confines himself to the statement that with or without Cannon, Taft has enough votes to insure his election.
 Cannon Is said to have turned to the Taft managers to make deal to save himself from defeat for reelection as Speaker-a defeat that Is threatened by the growing revolt of the Republi- cans in the House against his auto cratic methods.
 A self-made man Is generally proud CT of 1t than other people.
