 The Man Who Stood Still' was played in Birmingham by MT Mann on a previous occasion and the plot is therefore somewhat familiar to the majority of theatregoers. The story Is of the East Side in New Yorkss An old German watchmaker. John Kraus, re- mained pent up in his little ship on the Bowery for 20 years, while the busy world went on about him. He stood still and competition at last forced him to the wall. with the accompany ing loss of his daughter who was lured away by the son of the old mans near est rival in business.

CT, after he has been saved from utter starvation by the kindness of a for mer employe, who gives him position The subsidiary developments of the plot also reach a happy conclusion.
 There are a number or interesting and faithfully drawn character types in the play, all of them presented by a company of uniform excellence. The rare comedy of John Kraus and his pa thetic confession of failure. his wild grief for the loss of his daughter, his outbursts of childish anger, succeeded the next moment by a smile that seemed to irradiate him from head to foot, constituteiperhaps the best work of MT. Mann's career. His John Kraus is a noteworthy contribution to the modern stage and he deserves the highest praise for a very fine impersonation.
 If the chief protagonist acquitted himself in brilliant fashion his com pany was not at all backward in the splendid support necessary to smooth and thoroughly enjoyable performance. Each member of the cast was well placed and played in perfect accord. There was not weak spot discernible Matilda Cottrelly as the sister of John Kraus gave an admirable portrayal of sturdy woman. John E. Kelley as Edward Spiegel contributed a highly diverting comedy type. Charles Halton played Joseph Abrams in a straightfor- word way that carried conviction and

 Chief Bennett's Statement
 Chief Bennett, in speaking of Captain Teeter, said:
 "The statement of Robinson that Cap tain Teeter cursed him is absurd. I have known Captain Teeter intimately for 20 years and never knew him to use an oath. I have seen him under all condi- tions. when he was fighting fire. when he was angry and even when he was fighting and I never knew him to curse.
 ''The cold-booded murder of Captain Teeter will cause every fireman who knew him to feel a distinct personal loss. Captain Teeter was one of the finest men I have ever known. He was always ready at duty's call and a husband he was all that could be asked Captain Teeter entered the fire department the same year as myself and I have known him since. have worked under him, with him and over him, and have known few finer men. His death is loss to the fire department that will not be soon remedied'
 It was thought for time that c. c. Robinson was the Robinson who killed Officer Thompson at the Southsde jail about four years ago and who was sem fenced to five years He was recently
 
 this to be untrue. Robinson, according to his own statement, has been in Birming- ham for about 10 years. He was unknown by the police.
 Tho news of the shooting of Captain Teeter almost in the heart of the bus mess section of the city went over Bir- mingham like wildfre Numerous ru- mors were current, some stating that Chief Bennett had been killed, others that Chief Bennett had killed fire man and other wild stories.
 An immense crowd gathered at No station discussing the tragedy in low tones. The entrance to the city jail was ehoked with the morbidly curious and 1t was necessary for the police to clear the alley
 Coroner B. L. Brasher made a prelim- mary investigation of the shooting and will hold a formal inquest this afternoon at 230 O clock.

Mr.. Taft exonerates Wiley from

who has made most Of the trouble for

1hruStS at Trusts.

The department of justice is said to
have a thousand complaints against
the trusts upon its books. lnvestiga-
ton OF alleged violations Of the Sher-
man antitrust law leads the depart
ment to believe that 1t can carry
through several prosecutions with sue
cess before the end Of the year.
The decisions in the cases against
the Standard Oil company and the
American Tobacco company proved
that the Sherman law could deal with
the trusts so far as to halt their poll
cies OF greed and tyranny. But they
have not shown that the trust problem
could be settled thereby. What are
half a dozen suits, or half hundred
for that matter. as against the forma-
ton and the conduct OF new combina-
tions, new trade associations. new
pools and new agreements? They
amount to no more than the pin prick
In the hide of rhinoceros.
Only few politicians who still per-
ceive advertising material in the de-
nunciation Of the trusts pretend that
prosecution can ever effectively stay
the course of economic evolution.
They but help to postpone the discov-
cry Of the solution. The real work of
dealing with the difficulty lies with
those who are confident that regula-
ton. not foolish attempts at destruc-
ton. constitutes the answer.

IS WORST OF jokes
HARD TO TAKE THE TARIFF

We May Ultimately Come Under Ruic

We wish we could take that tariff

Is impossible. For 40 years now the
high takers have been marking up
tariffs Poor fellows: they never had
tariff board. They simply consulted
their inward sentiments. IL the spirit
moved them to buy private yacht. to
build a $250,000 cottage by the sea or
to endow a library or university. they
told the people In Washington that
they wanted more tariff to assist in
the enterprise and they got It.
The process was the easiest imagin-
able. It was like the first law OF ma.
ture. which is to help yourself. No
body ever thought of calling it scien-
tiflc. It was not even expert With

wrong man. but the domain of science
was not invaded and tariff board
was dnheard Of.
1t now appears that all this use of
the power to tax everybody for the
benefit OF somebody was highly scien
tific and that only scientists of the
first order Of merit can undo any part
Of IT. Who should amputate limb

enough acquainted with the higher
mathematics to be able to throttle q

These are profound and narrowing
questions, but we nevertheless believe
that what was done by one instru
mentality may be undone by the same
agency. 1t may be that we shall ulti.
mately come under the sovereign rule
of the tariff board, but we hardly need

has retained control OF the trade
whose name II bears Originally tho

the sole right OF exercising the art

ileges II granted the company the
right to burn before the offenders

Even in those days the prescribing
druggist was a problem, and in 1857
the College OF Physicians denounced
the Apothecaries company Tor selling

lords confirmed the right OF its mem
