ACKERT RETURNS TO|
WASHINGTON TODAY
OFFICER STATES THAT MAN TOOK
HIS WIFE's MONEY AND NECK
LACE AND DEPARTED-CHARG
AGAINST THE PRISONER

Detective Fl. NJ Vermflion of Wash
Inton, D. c., arrived in Birmin CHAM yes
terday at noon to take into custody +
C. Ackert alias Fred Carlton, who WAS
arrested a few days ago by local de-
tectives on advice received from tie
Washington police that Ackert was
wanted there for bigamy and grand
larceny.
Mr. yermillion said yesterday that it.
was alleged that Ackert had married
woman 60 years old named Mrs.
Smith. Soon after the marriage Acls-
ert persuaded his wife to sell her prop
erty and give him the money to deposit
in a bank. That was the last heard
of him until his arrest In Birming-
ham.
The officer said that Ackert was llv-
Ing with his wife in Washington and
that when he left 1t is alleged Re
took her $50 gold chain along with
him. Mr.. Vermillion said that as far
as he knew the man Ackert had no
other criminal record, this being his
first offense. The prisoner will be Ie-
turned to Washington without requi-
sition papers. Mr.. vermillion had III
tended to start last night, but de-
cided later to go this morning. IT
takes 26 hours to make the trip from
here to Washington and as he will
have a prisoner in charge Mr.. VermL-
lion will have to stay awake during
the entire trip.
In speaking of Birmingham Mr.
Vermillion said: "Of course have been
in Birmin CHAM but a few hours anu
seen only a small part of your city. ]
have been impressed, however, with
the fact that everyone seems to be
hustling. Birmingh am Is a great man
ufacturing center. A large part of hsr
enterprise consists of fa0ories. mills
and shops. The city is making gre.
progress and 1 think will be still
more important trade center in few
years."

These are but a few of the questions
with which the political atmosphere is
filed these days.
The lethargic state into which the COM

decided political unrest and office-be-
showers as well as office-seekers are full
of wonderment as to why the committee
does not get together and give an intima-
ton of how things are to be.
Candidates would like very much to

ADJUSTMENTS
s.The American Idea"

The name of George NJ. Cohan has long
been established as term synonymous
with all that is fetching in musical COM
coy THE American Idea" as presented
last night at the jefferson to the usual
Saturday attendance, is strictly Cohan-
esoue. replete with tuneful music, semi
voiceess singing witty lines and lavish
though not gaudy costumery, Also there
was Trixie Friganza, a Coincidence who
has always pleased, and whose increas-
ing weight has not as yet nullihed her
cleverness. The most Surprising part OF
the performance was the rarity of APP
clause, some of the cleverest numbers es-
Gaping with scarcely an encore.
The company was excellent to fault.
Arthur Lipson as Pierre Souchet, the
spurious count, was almost perfectly
feminine. AS the American idea of
French count he came as near the Boni
de Castallani mark as could be ex-
pected of mere man. Raymond Finlay,
TALL dry and entertaining. made "a green
goods man of the first water in the role OF
Stephen Hustleford. and Hugh Mack was
the author of many a laugh in his por-
trayal of the mysterious man. Misses
Edith Ross and Lola Hilton deserved
more applause than they were given for
dancing specialties of rare merit. Every
member OF the cast was entirely up to the
standard. including good chorus of both
sexes.
Neither was the play proper entirely
meaningless. A goodly amount of well d.
rected satire is introduced. the theme
Icing 1.-THE American Idea" of matrimony,

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Talladega College

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
1 wish. first, to thank your excellent
paper for calling attention to the pro-
posed plan of the synod of Alabama for
building a new college building 'for
women at Talladega. Many of Br-
minghams Presbyterians are interested
In this work of their church. and are
contributing to it's success. But there Is
little error appearing underneath the
cut that appears in your notice of the
enterprise. in reference to removing" the
magnificent structure which is already
on one of the proposed locations offered
by the generous citizens of Talladega.
and ask the privilege of correcting it by
saying that when that location is accept
ed by the building committee, consisting
of 10 acres with that splendid building
already on It, that residence will be con-
verted into a music conservatory, and
form a part of the anticipated college.
Thanking you for making this little
correction, so that Presbyterians may
know exactly what they are contributing
to, I remain. very respectfully,
r. B. WEBB.

.POS7OFF|CE CASE
SEEMS BATTLING
Officers Work Hard But Still
Have No Success
ANOTHER BOY ARRESTED
Girls Who Saw Robber Say They Were
So Excited That They Are Un-
able to Give Description
of the Man
ANOTHER BOY ARRESTED

Until an early hour this morning
there had been nothing sensational
developed in the postoffice robbery case.
The local postoffice inspectors. W. H.
Keys and B. F. Dilts, together with
the local police force, have been active
ly at work on the case every minute
since the report of the theft. They
have followed up apparently every
clew but as far as unearthing any
real evidence regarding the identity
of the burglars all their efforts seem
to have been a failure. j. b. Dla'i
the stamp clerk from whom the money
was stolen, did not work yesterday bu'
used his every effort to assist the Of
dcers in their attempt to uncover the
guilty man.
The hope that the two ladies, wh7
were buying stamps at the window
when the robbery was committee
might furnish an accurate description
of the thief, was exploded yesterday
when the girls were found at the Ed
pire laundry on Second avenue. They
said that they were SO badly fright
ened at the boldness of the robber that
they do not remember him clearly
enough to give an accurate description
of him. These ladies and Mr.. Dial
are the only persons who really saw
the man and knew him to be the
burglar Mr. Dial says that the mans
face was turned SO quickly that he
only obtained a glance at his back.
One arrest was made yesterday by
Detectives Cornett and Givens. They
arrested a white boy named Morris
Sales. The boy was not locked up
but was questioned very closely and
for long time. After thorough ex-
animation before Inspector w. X Keys
and the officers 1t was concluded that
the boy was not connected with the
robbery. Sales was arrested at the
Terminal station. The three men ar
rested Friday as suspicious characters
are still held at the city jail, but nc
evidence has been found that would
point to them as the robbers of the
$500 from the postoffice. 1t is claimed
that the three men are all from At.
lanta. The officers have not given up
and will enter the contest this morning
with as much zeal as ever.
