MILITANT WOMEN ROUTED
BY HUMBLE GRAY MOUSE

The ONE had been out in force from
early morning. repeatedly routing the
workmen with hatpins, hot flatirons,
brooms and rolling pins, and several
times the police were called out in in
effectual attempts to quiet things
down.
Finally one of the workmen decided
to try strategy. He sneaked around a
house and returned with something be-
hind his back. Right in front of the
belligerent women he held up a wee
gray mouse, and in the confusion
which followed the poles were planted
without difficulty.

 Offered

 FLOWERS LECTURE
First Number of Lyceum Course Given at High
 School Auditorium

Montavile Flowers, president of the In- ternational Lyceum course, and a citizen of Los Angeles. Cal, auspiciously opened the 1911-12 season of the Birmingham Ly- oeum lecture course last evening at the High school auditorium, with an audience ol GOO educators and Shakespearean stu dents present Mir. Flowers gave his life lecture on Hamlet" with illustrative acting and reciting 1900 lines from the play within the two hours of his dis course.
 Returning to the south for the first tune in 10 years and coming here almost direct from New York city, where he has been featuring for the past fortnight, MT Flowers received an appreciative ova- ton from his Birmingham audience.f
 Equipped with 15 years experience in ;he portrayal of Shakespearean characters on the lecture platform, MT. Flowers en- acted those scenes from Hamlet that outlined the story and disclosed an in sight into the habits and nature of the I:anish prince With faultless enuncia- ton, a versatile interpretation of the more important roles and remarkable intona- ton of voice that made the change of speaker perceptible to those initiated into the detailed verses of the tragedy. he gave the solemn Hamlet, the fair Ophelia, the wicked queen mother, the hollow voiced ghost. and others of the court family vivdy and realistically did the voices of the various characters proclaim their identity that but for the sight of the one man in d conventional evening suit moving about the stage, one would have supposed that company of talent cd actors were speaking the often quoted passages from the masterpiece of the Bard of Avon.
 Mr. Flowers left last night for Mem- pnis to deliver his Hamlet lecture and will complete his southern tour before returning to his orange grove near Los Angeles
 The second and next consecutive num- Der of the Lyceum course will be the appearance of MT. Hamilton Holt, on December A. at the High school

 The official explanation of the purpose oi the Chinese government to live up to it's foreign obligations came to the state department today from the Chinese lega- ton. which reported it to the state de- partment.
 Personal conferences today between the Secretaries of State, War and Navy gave rise to the surmise that the Chinese sit uation was under discussion, but no state ment was vouchsafed.
 The military authorities are ready to meet any reasonable demand for troops to be used in China and whether the organizations selected shall be the Eff teenth infantry. now en route from Guam to Manila, or the Seventh or the Twen- tieth infantry, will depend entirely upon the time the order is received from the President for the dispatch of troops.
