 The Australian Woodchoppers are q distinct novelty, wonderful exhibi- ton of skill with axes and startling contest of log chopping. It all sounds prosaic enough, but every one of the 5000 people who saw the act yesterday were thrilled.
 The other feature Is Hayes and All pine In Hans Nix's Baby" a farce on the father left to mind the grow ing restless child or or years. The baby is A dwVrf, and A clever one at that, and the father Is good German. The act Is original, funny, different and provokes untold laughter.

Government Arguments

While the case concerns only water lines, the government declared in arguing the cases the defeat of the commission in this case would mean that railroads need not fear interference with their in- trastate business, and the commission g system of gathering reports would be rem dered worthless. The orders in question requested reports regarding operating ex- penses and operating revenues of water lines and affected lines on the Great Lakes
 The commerce court held the commis- sion had power to require reports regard ing only traffic carried under joint ar engagement with joint rail carriers but not as to purely intrastate and port to port business
 Justice Day said a mistake had been made by the commerce court in refusing knowledge of intrastate commerce with regulation of the same. He said it was within the power of the commission to require a showdown of the whole business, intrastate as well as interstate.
 Juseices Lurton and Lamar dissented.

Far-Reaching Decision

A far reaching principal of law was decided today when the supreme court held that one state could not refuse to enforce judgments of another state in regard to the liability of stock holders for corporation debts. The de- cision was announced in the case of Theodore R. Converse, receiver of the Minnesota Thresher Manufacturing company against Caroline A Hamilton. a stockholder in the company, but a resident of Wisconsin.
 A Minnesota court had issued an order assessing stockholders of the company 100 per cent on their holdings to meet the local debts of the corporation. When an attempt was made to collect this order the Wisconsin courts held that the Min nesota order was not such a judgment as the federal constitution required to be given in another state full faith and credit, because the Minnesota court had no Jurisdiction over a Wisconsin stock holder not served with a notice of pro- ceeding against him or her. This hold ing was reversed.

Emma Bunting in "SaIome Jane"

A play of laughter and tears and tenderness, a vivid drama Is "Salomy Jane," in which little Emma Bunting delighted a large audience at the Bijou last night. There is an element of thrilling suspense, a human note and a delft characterization in this drama of the California woods not to be found in "Tess of the storm Country" or "The Blue Mouse." in which two plays the little star fixed herself so firmly in the favor of Birmingham au diences.
 The story is familiar one, that of real girl and man. Salomy Is wor- ried over her father who has feud with Larabee, and this fear is inten- sified by the insult offered her py Baldwin, one of the many miners who love her. The stranger arrives, kills Baldwin; she meets the stranger and loves him and gives him her first kiss as the posse leads him away to be hanged. He escapes and is led by the kiss of the impetuous Salomy to come back to her. 1t all makes a thrilling play, one of human interest intensified by dramatic incidents well in keepin g with the early 49s especially as the stranger and Larabee meet, pistol fight ensues and Larabee is killed. Ealomy's father thinks she did the shooting and decides to take the blame on himself but the stranger returns and faces the charge.
 A new Emma Bunting appears in "Salomy Jane," more charming, more delightful than The Blue Mouse" o' "Tess" and a Salomy tnat shows she has a mastery of stage technique and repression. Her work a s the red blood . ed Jane was convincing and impellins She makes the girl real character The virgin purity of Saiomy, her quiet but intense hatred of the crude men <,vho try to njure her father and her pelf are brought out admirably by Miss Bunting. We see her not only as Salomy but as the versatile and cap able actress
 Excellent support Is rendered b, George Whitaker as the man. ano this part is evidently his forte. Miss Bertha Leigh Liza Health, the wife of Red Pete; F, M. Leonard as Jack

tie Katherine Whatley as Annie May, and William Thompson as Colonel Starbottle are all worthy of special mention. Most of the action, however, centers around Salomy and the man, and Miss Bunting and MT. Whitaker leave absolutely nothing to be desired In delinea ting these parts.
 The play is staged with care to detail, the Redwood forest scene be- ing especially meritorious. The play Is easily the best that a:lss Bunting has presented in Birmingham. It Is at the Bijou all week with matinees Tuesday Thursday and Saturday.

Only Two Appealed

 The fine was paid. Only the Stan dard and the Republic, which were busted, applied to the United States supreme court The claim was made that the corporations could not be busted in the same proceedings.

The Romance of Tin.

While Bolivia has copper and gold and other minerals as we'll as silver, her greatest wealth is in tin. There is as much romance in tin mining in Bolivia as in diamond mining in South Africa and gold mining in our own country. Fortunes just as large have been made. One man who few years ago was prospector now has an in- come from his tin mines equal to that of the bonanza kings of California or the South African mining magnates. He has recently offered to built rail- way line which the government itself did not feel able to undertake.
 In all the world last year there were only 10000 tons of tin produced, and to this quantity Bolivia contributed one.fifth, SO the value of her tin de. deposits can be understood. Some of this tin is mined as high as seventeen thousand feet. Most of the mines, however, are worked at attitudes of less than fifteen thousand feet. Tin mining has thus the distinction of location at one of mans most lofty perm anent dwelling places as we'll as beneath the bed of the sea. This op- poslte extreme IS found in the worlds oldest known tin mines in Devonshire, Christian Herald.
