tary Huntington Wilson served formal

tary Huntington Wilson served formal notice upon the Nicaraguan government of the policy of the United States to take measures for an adequate legation guard at Managua; to keep open commun1ca- tions and to protect American life and property"
 The Nicaraguan government already declared it's willingness and even anx- iety that the United States should act, finding itself fully engaged in fighting the rebels. State department officials are fully prepared for any adverse criticism of the use of the American naval forces. The answer probably will be given in an elaborate memorandum to be submitted to Congress by the state department at the beginning of the next session. 1t will be summarized
 An examination of the authorities ap- pears quite clearly to show that one state may without just cause of offenso to another state thus interpose in favor of it's national resident in the other state and there is not little authority for the proposition that such interposition by the one state, as against the other, is mat ter of right and, indeed, duty" In the list of authorities referred to are cases where the United States landed forces in times of revolution in foreign countries to protect American interests.

MUCH VIOLENCE IN
 GEORGIA STRIKE Engineers Ordered Not to
 Operate Trains CREWS ARE FLOGGED Further Efforts Toward Mediation Are Without Results-More Dis order in Connection With
 Augusta Car Strike

Auoustay- Ge October 5.-Repeated acts of violence in which the lives of the Georgia railroad employees were placed In jeopardy late today resulted in orders being Issued to the members of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En- gineers not to operate any trains on that road until "adequate' protection is furnished. The order was issued by Fred A. Burgess, assistant grand chief of the Brotherhood, after an exchange of notes with General Manager T. K. Scott of the Georgia road. Later he modified the order, permitting any en- gineer to go out at his own risk
 The situation today became so criti- cal that Mir Scott telegraphed Governor Brown, urging him to instruct the sher- ifs and mayors along the line to use extra diligence and see that order is maintained. The governor replied that law, he had no authority to take the initiative in such a matter.
 The afternoon passenger trains start ing from both Augusta and Atlanta, it lis stated, will be taken to their desti- nations but 1t is expected that no more trains will be started for the present Further efforts at mediation were made today by United States Labor Commissioner Charles F. Neill, but without result.
 The principal trouble today developed at Union Point. where several train men on passenger trains were badly beaten by striker sympathizers. Freight trains started from Atlanta and Au- gusta were run onto sidings, switches
 locked and trainmen driven off. Sher- ] fir Hixon of Greene county has de clined, 1t is said. to go to Union Point and protect railroad property at the request of General Manager Scott.
 Trouble again broke out in connection with the street railway strike late today
 when non-unon crew was attacked II North Augusta on the South Carolins side of the river Two men were badly
 beaten by a crowd in the mill district While this was in progress two othe strike breakers on the car switched tn' trolley and ran back to Augusta Ther'

SPLENDID COTTON CROP
 RAISED ON POOR SANDY SOIL

Eufaula, January 22.-(Special.)-Capt w. L. Casey. leading citizen of Ozark, who stands at the head of one of the largest banking institutions in his home town, is fast demonstrating an aptitude along agricultural lines that must sooner or later place him in critical challenge with the best farmers, at least In this section of the state.
 Captain Caseys experiments in cotton culture, on the poorest sandy soils in Dale county, has attracted the attention of prominent citizens from all over the state for the past two years.
 His yield of approximately 200 bales, weighing 800 pounds each. which he gath cred from 200 acres of land that prior to his control of it had. never banned out more than lint production Of bale to six acres, was regarded as practically phenomenal last year, and has induced him to not only try the experiment in cotton culture again this season, but in a diversity of other products as well. one of which has so far attracted but little attention in this section of Ala bama.
 Captain Caseys methods are not only ,ifiiaue, but are carefully calculated from scientific principals. He believes that the light and poorer class of sandy soils are better adapted for cotton culture, for the reason that the tap root can penetrate

Humping Jupiter"

Richard Carle paid his annual visit to Birmingham last night in a new musical show which he has named Jumping Jupiter" There is great dea lof clever
 and original comedy in the piece which has it's happy effect deadened somewha, by an undue amount of horse play. q few jokes of uncertain vintage and a few suggestive features that could have been
 easily eliminated. including the vulgar device of introducing a woman's corset. That sort of comedy was done to death In burlesque houses years ago. The music. while abundant, is not above the ordi- nary, with the possible exception of ''Lir- tie Girl, Love You" the daintiest song number on the programme. aa
 It really is a painful duty. however, to crticise adversely one of Richard Carle s shows. He is a capital comedian and he is responsible for a great deal of spark ling comedy in Jumping Jupiter" for which he must be given ample credit Mir. Carle writes his own pieces. both the music and the book, and he takes the principal role with highly diverting re- suits He has funny pair of legs which are never seen professionally withou. spats at their neither extremeties, and his eccentric humor easily places him in a
 position by himself. There are no other
 men at present on the stage who can get as much laughter out of a crowd by the
 sheerest nonsense as MT. Carle can and
 when he begins one of his gambols gales
 of laughter follow him until he stops. He
 must have been pleased with the reception
 accorded him last night, for practically
 everything he did was enthusiastically
 encored
 Tn the first half of the performance the
 lions share of the funmaking fell to
 Charles Edward Wright, an absurd fat
 man, who was a close second to MT. Carle.

B. A. c. DEFEATS CUMBERLAND
 TEAM IN SENSATIONAL GAME

The Birmingham Athletic club five de-
 feated the Cumberland basketball team
 by the score of 10 to 20 in very exciting
 game last night at the Athletic club. The
 game seemed. in the beginning, as if the club was outclassed, when the Cumber-
 land team played them off their feet The score stood Cumberland 15 to Ath- letfe club Il at the end of the first half. However in the latter session the club
 played phenomenal ball and won out.
 The game was featured by fast work
 rough playing and marvellous team work When the referee blew his whistle the
 Cumberland five started to play the Ath- letics off their feet. As the first five for the club were out to test their strength, they found that they were up against a real team. When the university lads got the ball they would pass it accurately, swiftly and with remarkable foresight to each other. During the first half somo of the prettiest shots that have been seen were made. Burns and Bertram
 made several shots for field goal iron, the middle of the field. Wharton played very consistent ball for the club in this
 half, while the others did not seem able to hit their stride. The foul goal shoot ing was poor.
 The team work of the Cumberland boys was amazing. They exhibited every thing that was needed to win, and often they would receive an ovation for their splendid work. It looked like an ugly night for the boys in blue. In every other contest that the club has played in they have had an easy time in downing their opponents.
 At the beginning of the second half, after Coach Nespor had seen enough to make him afraid. he substituted the regu- lar men into the game and they went after the seeming conquerors. The club boys just went in to get their "Angoras, and "Angoras'' they got. Their playing placed the Cumberland boys completely
 at their mercy. Before the college boys could score a single point the club had scored 29 points The team work was
 splendid, the shooting was fine. while the
 individual playing of Wharton and Seals tied up the victory.
 Then the players started to ''roughng 1t.
 To ram an opposing player into the wall,
 or jab him under the chin, because The
 was a nice fellow and would stand for
 anything" seemed to be the standard.
 The individual playing of Bertram and
 Burns for Cumberland and that of
 Wharton and Seals for the Athletic club
 was one of the features of the exciting contest. Wharton, the steady captain of the Athletics, was in the game all the time. and his playing was the chief asset
 of the club five. Seals, who entered the
 struggle when it seemed lost, instilled confidence and turned the tide of the bat tie for the Blue and White team. He was a strong aid to victory.
 Although the score of the game was
 one-sided, the game was not by any means The crowd thought-at the end of
 the first half-that the score would be extremely close
 Tomorrow night the Cumberland five will play the Bessemer Athletic club team at Bessemer. Auburn will play next here
 at the club. The summary follows: BIRMINGHAM ATHLETIC CLUB. E1aId Eon1
