ADJUSTMENTS
THE Heart Breakers.

'The Heart Breakers the musical alb
surdity in which George Damerel and his
company appeared at the Jefferson thea
tire yesterday afternoon and last night,
proved to be an exceedingly light and
tie rhyme or reason, sense or substance
to the plot. motif or whatever the flimsy
thread of a story might be called, that it
was possible to take short maps and wake
up again without feeling any additional
confusion of mind. We are accustomed to
see lightly constructed plots in musical
shows, but 1.-THE Heart Breakers" is
even more preposterous than usual
George Damerel, remembered for his
graceful performance as the young prince
in 1.-THE Merry Widow" took the leading
part with his accustomed ease of manner.
His song numbers were very pleasing and
his dancing has lost none of its charm,
although Mr.. Damerel appears to be a few
pounds heavier than he was In his Merry
Widow days. Miss Myrtle Vail sang
and danced and was piquant and pretty,
providing very acceptable foil for the
love making of Mr.. Damerel, who had
the impossible role of president of club
of young men sworn to take vengeance
on flirts.
Edward Hume as the chimney sweep
proved himself first class comedian.
His antics in a most ridiculous role were
highly diverting. He was thoroughly en-
PERTAINING as tough character in an
environment with which he was not
familiar.

BANKERS TESTIFY
IN THE HYDE CASE
Tell of Loans Made to
the Carnegie Trust
Company

New York, November 23.-The state to-
day in the trial of Charles II. Hyde. for
mer city chamberlain, produced evidence
to show that Hyde finally placed city de-
posits in certain banks, which agree in
return to loan money to the Carnegie
Trust company. Hyde, accused of bribery
is alleged to have forced Joseph G..
Robin, president of the defunct Northern
bank, to loan the lettering Carnegie Trust
company $4,000 under a threat that the
city would withdraw its deposits.
Richard W. Jones. vice president OF the
National Reserve bank. testified that on
representations from William j. Cum
Minis, head of the Carnegie Trust COM
pany. that he would receive deposits of
the city money, his institution had loaned
Cummins 100000 in May, 1910. 1t is the
states contention that Hyde was behind
Cummins.
William E. Holloway, president of the
Hungarian American bank. also testi-
fed that his institution loaned 100000
to Cummins and received the same day
deposit of $4,000 of city money
Similar testimony was given by Will
liam A. Barber, director OF the GUAR
dian Trust company. He said his In
stitution was asked for loan of s75.-
900 by Cummins on October 3, 1910, and
the same day received a deposit of
$250,000 of city funds.
willis G. Nash, president of the Mer-
camille National bank, testified that
shortly after conversation with Cum
minis in May, 1916, he loaned the Car
negie Trust COMPANY 100000. War
rants of transfer showed that subse-
quently the city deposited s650.000 in
three installments with the Mercan
tile National bank.

COL. MAbEN TALKS
OF RECENT EFFORT
/ TO MOVE SLAGP|LE
Says HuddlestOn Sees De-
feat Staring Him in Face
in the Courts
SLOSS COMPANY AS
AN ADVERTISEMENT
Says Company Is Willing to Erect
Smoke Consumers When 1t Can
Be Shown They Will Be
Effective

That George Hudleston, representing A
property owner. discerned defeat in the
courts, and was now trying to take
refuge with the city commission, was
the way Col J. c. Maben last night
summed up the petition TO remove the
Sloss company Stag pile. Colonel Maben
commented freely upon the petition and
charged Mr.. Huddleston with seeing his
own defeat in the courts. Mr.. Huddles-
ton. it is said, has brought suit against
the company for a lady who owns prop
erty near the Stag pile.
Colonel Maben. commenting upon the
smoke agitation, said he pledged the
sloss company to relieve the city of the
smoke from the city ovens if someone
would point out feasible way to per-
form that work
1.-THE petition of Mr.. Huddleston and
the property owners comes only after
they see defeat staring them in the
face in the suit they brought against
our company" said Colonel Maben
"Our attorneys are sure we will win
the suit designed to make us remove
the Stag pile. Mr.. Huddleston evidently
realizes that and is trying to take
refuge with the city commission. do
not believe the commission will do
anything in the nature OF confiscating
our property.
THE Sloss company has proven to be
one of the best advertisements that
Birmingham has ever had. Our stock
is listed all over the world and is
owned in every state and in almost
every country of the world. If any
thing is attempted which will hurt our
stock the Birmingham district will pay
for it, because every rumor that is
against Sloss securities causes unfa-
vorable inquiries to be made. Nothing
can be done injurious to our stock
which will not injure the district.
Il do not believe that after 30 years
and inasmuch as the property owners
erected their houses near our furnace of
their own free will, that the city COM
mission will command us to remove the
Stag. l.
"The smoke evil also is complained of.
/ pledge the Sloss company to erect
smoke consumers when il can be shown
that there is anything which will effec-
lively dispose of the smoke. We have no
objections TO eliminating that evil pro-
vided we can be shown how"
The petition of property owners TO re-
uuire the Sloss company to remove the
Stag pile has been passed over by the
city commission until next Tuesday when
II will come up again. 1t was signed by
about 800 property owners.
