"The Spring Maid"

"The Spring Maid,' tuneful and dainty operetta from the German, with Mizzi Hajos the prima donna, was presented at the Jefferson theatre last night. The music is full of grace and beauty, while the theme of the piece is a charming one and the setting most picturesque.
 Miss Majos doesn't sing quite as well as some other prima donnas who have appeared in Birmingham, but she has d delightful personality, is tantalizing cess masquerading as a fountain girl at Carlsbad was very effective. Her comedy scenes were capital and her dancing note worthy
 George Leon Moore not only made a fine looking prince, with a dashing stage presence. considerably enhanced by his uniforms. but he sang well and acted in spirited fashion that was suited to the role he essayed. Charles MacNaugh- ton proved himself a first class come dian. His burlesque of Othello was one of the most Imaginable travesties ever seen on the local stage and his comedy throughout the piece was extremely clev CT. A well trained chorus assisted the principals in performance that was excellent and artstically gratifying.
 The Spring Maid Is rich in color and the piece is admirably mounted. The fountain scene in the last act was a true woodland idyl transferred to the stage, with appropriate music.
 ''The Spring Maid will be repeated at a matinee this afternoon and another performance will be given tonight.

Taft in Touch With Situation

President Taft is In constant touch with the situation through war depart ment and state department officials The administration would not welcome an issue that might force it to send troops across the line not only because of an indisposition 10 exercise such a power against a friendly nation, but also of regard for the safety of Amer- icans in Mexico, who, it Is feared might be objects of attack by those inflamed al what might appear to them 10 be an invasion.
 The United States considers, how ever, that an unusual situation is in- volved Forces have been landed in other countries to protect American lie and property when local author tties appeared incapable of doing so Tn spite of protests of revolutionary fac tons, but not in defiance of the pro- tests of the titular government The question in this case which, it is be- lieVed. may arise at any moment al El Paso and elsewhere along the bor- der, Is whether the dispatch of troops into Mexico merely to stop firing into American territory would constitute an act of war from the viewpoint of Pres ldent Madero American troops would. II IS said, simply prevent firing and re. store order, retiring when that had been accomplished. There was talk to- day among government officials about the eNpedtencY of creating neutral zone along the international line but the difficulty is that while the Mex lean government might consent the rebels. without head or organization. might not respect it.
 Reports to the state department showed serious condition of affairs at TIahualito, state of Durango and in the l-aguna district. Robbers have dew estated many large estates Varying re- ports came from southern Mexico gfv- Ing no light as to whether the gov ernment or insurgent forces had the upper hand

By defeating the Columbus Y. M. (. A. team last night at the Birmingham Attn letic club by the score of 34 to 26, the B. A. C. basketball team is now the undis- puted basketball champions of the south. In a clean clear cut fight last night the Birmingham boys won the most hotly con- tested game of the season.
 The work Of the Birmingham squad could not be excelled, for the boys mad team work, individual star players and everything that was needed to win the game. Although the Columbus team is said to have the best team work of any similar crew in the south, the B. A. C. boys outplayed them and outgeneraled them.
 The game was delayed about 45 min utes, not beginning until 9:15 O clock on ac- count of a squabble as to whether or not a Columbus man should be allowed to umpire. The enthusiastic crowd yelled until it was hoarse for play to begin. but the managers and coaches still deputed Finally Bridges, the Columbus coach, was allowed that privilege. Courleux refereed and gave entire satisfaction, both sides complimenting him upon his work. He
 
 escaped his eye.
 It was a pleasure to see such a game. The Columbus Y. M. C. A. bunch un- doubtedly played the cleanest game that has been seen here, and the game was really one of sport. The players on both sides played like sports and never was there a touch of the usual unsportsman- like tactics.
 Satterfleld undoubtedly won the game f03. tlA RiTp1in phanl Solad His fOlIl shooting was good, his passing better wfile his target shooting was superb. From the start this boy was in the game with vim and 22 out of the 34 points are responsible to him. But the others were there too. Wharton could hardly have done better. He guarded Lewis and held the usual star without a single field goal. Gilbert Ritchie did well at center, play ing the best game of his career here. Seals. McGowan, Ritchie, Sattrfeld and Wharton all did finely.
 The game started with a foul called when Ritchie took too many steps. Teddy threw the ball into the basket scoring the first point of the game. Satterrleld was detected holding and another foul was called. Teddy scored another foul goal. Massey fouled, pushing being the offense, and Satterfield scored the first point for the Athletics. Ritchiel made another foul, pushing another player in attempt to gain the ball. Teddy missed goal. Satterfield held an opponent, and Teddy shot the goal successfully Ritchie made a field goal Lewis fouled by running, and Satterfield scored a point. Wharton fouled. and Teddy again threw the ball in. Ritchie fouled and Teddy got another point Then Satterfield threw field goal. Lewis held Wharton and Satterfield threw goal. Ritchie fouled by holding Massey, but Teddy missed the goal. Teddy was called when he ran. and Satterfield again placed the ball between the ring of the goal.

"The Girl in the Taxi"

SprinkIed with humor and seasoned with modified naughtiness. The G1ri in the Taxi" opened weeks engage ment in this city last evening at the Bijou and proved to be farce bet ter presented than the average attrac- tion of this sort at popular prices
 There are one or even two instances where the lines might be altered to effect, like an application of sapolio, change for the better, but as the name
 indicates. the play deals with a phase of life that is hardly expected to be
 Puritanical either in language or in tention.
 The whole action of the three acts occurs within 24 hours-a condition that permits of no dragging nor cessa - tion of hostilities. The scheme is q design rather than plot as 1t has to do with three men giving the fem mine members of their family a double deal and reinstating themselves after being partially discovered. John Stew art, a banker of rotund figure and choi- eric complexion, resides in a New York apartment house with his wife and son.

When the play opens Mir. and Mrs. Percy Peters. niece and nephew of Mrs Stewart, have come for ae visit to them to consult physician about Mir. Peters terrible cough. But Mir.

est stroke of fortune that has ever be- fallen the democrats, according to Post master Prelate D. Barker, republican na- tonal committeeman from Alabama, who speculated on the announcement today He was not surprised he said, and he called attention to his former assertions that Roosevelt had been out for the nom nation from the start.
 T do not believe that Roosevelt will get the support of the conservative re- publicans of the country" said Postmas- tee Barker. and I believe therefore, that his nomination is an impossiblity. If he were nominated, however. the demo- crats would have a far better chance to put their nominee in the White House than they would were President Taft the republican candidate.
 T do not believe the republican party will ever put forth platform which savers of Rooseveltism in its blanks. Neither do I believe that the so-called progressive or LaFollette republicans will support Roosevelt"

Walsh as Percy Peters is exceptionally good in his make believe cough, and Miss May Gerald as his wife books and acts her special assignment with, a lisp. Kraft Walton as the head waitar of the Churchill cafe and later butler at the Stewart home seems to secure the best possible result from his part and adds no little to the general acting of the play Miss Leila Davis as Mrs John Stewart lacks a little in indi- yiduaity through her characterization, but is acceptable on the whole.
 The staging of the Biiou presentation is pleasing and appropriate and the cos tunes worn by the feminine members of the cast are pretty for the most part. The usual matinee performances will be given on Tuesday. Thursday and Sat urday, with repetitions in the evening.

Willia m J. Bryan

ogden, Utah, February 26.-William Jennings Bryan, commenting on ex-Pres- ident Roosevelt's announcement, said to- day:
 Tt Is news that is news. except that it was foreshadowed by his speech at Columbus and by an Outlook editorial on Third Cup of Coffee '
 MT Bryan said it would be an in- terestng 6ght which the democrats would watch intently.
 MT. Bryan said he would like 10 know why MT. Roosevelt should be called back into the ring after he left it to give the place to MT. Taft It would seem that MT. Taft has thrown the republican party into political bankruptcy and Mir. Roosevelt Is be- ing called back in an effort to make good the mistakes of the man he se- lected as his successor.
 Surely MT. Taft could not have re- ceved the nomination for the presi- dency had 1t not been for Mir. Roose- welt four years ago. and he could not have been elected had 1t not been for the help of MT. Roosevelt
 There is much humor in the situ alton for democrats. The republicans have long watched, with pleasure. our international controversies and now we are watching with considerable interest the troubles within their own ranks.

Orpheum

Keiths vaudeville at the Orpheum the atre opened last night with a clean. live bill and a packed house at both per formances. It will be safe to say that there was not single dull moment from the time the orchestra struck it's first chord until the curtain was lowered on the good night act
 To take each act separately and tell about it's good qualities would be a mere matter of killing space, for they are all to be described in the same words. One word characterizes the entire show-ex- cellent.
 Besides the usual orchestral music and motion pictures there were five star vaudeville acts: The Galarina Musical Four. the Haley Trio. Follett and Wicks, the rapid fire entertainers. Nip and Tuck, comic acrobats, and the Twin City Quar- tet Neither is better than the other and they are all on the top shelf in the pantry of excellence.
