stated had pierced the lefk lung aad
lodged between the eighth and ninth
ribs. He said the injured man was
resting as we'll as could be ex-
pected and, unless pneumonia or
unexpected complications set in,

Louis Roman is about As years of

mont brewery, and went to the for
elgner's house to collect bill.
Sharp words were exchanged be-
tween the two and the latter became
enraged and drew the gun on Ro-

Deadly Drug Supplants
Whiskey in Lumber Re
gions of the State.

REDWOOD, April 24-The use
and traffic of opium, cocaine and
other narcotics among the woods.
men in this section has now reached
an alarming stage and 10 the ON.
pioyers 1t has become much more OF
an ANNOYANCE than the drinking OF
whiskey has ever been.
While here few days ago a
prominent lumberman made the
statement thar the use Of drugs
OF this nature among the woodsmen
was increasing at an alarming rate
and that unless the peddlers Of the
drugs among these men was checked
serious results would necessarily
follow. This man made the state
ment that he had just learned tina,
a very large per cent OF the woods
men had already fallen victims to
the hsioit OF using the drugs and
there are now hundreds Of them
who become raving maniacs unless
they are able to get one or the other
of the narcotics at regular inter
walls.
The discovery of the above facts
Is the result OF an investigation on
the part of the operators into the
cause of the recent increase of dis
orders among the men and the fire.
quent crimes which have been COM
mitted by them. 1t was natural for
their first impulse to be that 1t was
the result of bootleggers, but they
found that while in many cases 1t
was the same men who were making
their regular visits to the camps,
they were peddling a different line
and one which was not only easily
handled but also much more in de-
mand than the liquor.
The situation is very grave one
for the employers of these thous-
ands of men. 1t has been suggested
to them that they bar the bootleg
gers or peddlers OF the drugs from
their log trains and run them out
of their camps, which they could do
by putting q force OF guards in the
woods but they realize the fact that
the use of the drug has become a
necessity to so many OF the men,
that to deprive them OF 1t would
drive them from their work and
many of them into insanity. The
fact is cited in the cases where the
supply OF narcotics has been ex-
hausted in the camps before the ar
rival OF the pedd!ers that there has
been serious trouble among the
men. There have been desperate
fights and the men have been I'M
ruly for the bosses in the woods.
During last winter there was a
number of cases OF the men wander
ing away from the camps and be-
coming deranged mentally and be-
wildered in the woods. There was
more than one death IN that manner
during the winter and many OF the
men were discovered and taken back
to camp in an unconscious condi.
ton.

 The managers of the Russian dancers and Manager Mattice of the Shubeft after a long consultation held over the long distance telephone, came to the con ciusion that rather than have any Sir mlngham patrons disappointed over the failure to procure tickets the Orpheum you'd be secured temporarily in order tc handle the crowd.
 For several days the management has heen busy filling mall orders. Already the entire lower floor at the Shubert had been sold and Manager Mattice saw that there would be many disappointed, hence his decision to try to get the larger theatre

Shubert has been besieged with inquiries
 relating to their visit here and general in-
 fol nation about them.
 Their visit to Birmingham will be among
 the last performances given in America. They return shortly to their native Rus sia. Their tour of the United States has created an unprecedented furor. The word dancing immediately brings
 up images of grotesque figures cut by ebony hued minstrels or movements of a none too graceful chorus houri. Ocular opera, therefore, making as 1t does a d. rect appeal to the intellect as we'll as the emotions, must needs have elucidation such as the intellect can appreciate. What Is ocular opera?" This question was put to a representa- tive of Pavlowa and Mordkin, who was in Birmingham several days. Ut is not the dance as we commonly
 know It," he answered. NOW, there is a
 general impression abroad to the effect that Mile. Pavlowa and Mikail Mordkin bring a performance something on the or der of that given by Isadore Duncan, Maude Allen and others. Nothing could he farther removed from facts. Tt is not dancing as we understand it. but the presentation of drama through movement alone without the employment Of speech or song.
 "In other words, 1t Is the telling of a story without articulate sound. It is q superb, a sublime sign language which makes as vivid and as concrete an i'm pression upon one's mentality as a

 It wasn't an easy matter to get even a five minutes conversation with Mrs. Misch during her brief visit here, but with the everlasting perseverance that Is associated always with newspaper people I succeeded in sandwiching in a little chat with her yesterday afternoon.
 There was pretty stage setting for me to have my little talk with Mrs Misch, in the artistic and beautifully arranged home of Mrs. Maurice Lenk, under whose hospitable roof she has been entertained during her stay in Birmingham.
 T like talking with newspaper people, Mrs. Msch said after our formal greet ing, flor it is a medium through which our work can be known and people may learn just what we are doing"
 Being thus graciously reassurred that an interview was agreeable, I asked for what purpose particularly her visit was made.
 "I am not emphasizing any especial branch of club work" said Mrs. Misch
