ID VOTE SOON ON METAL TARIFF BILL
Only Speech by Hepburn and Conclusion of Cum
 mins' Blocks Vote

Washington, May 27.-Only a speech by Senator Heyburn of Idaho and conclusion of a speech of Senator Cummins of Iowa tonight stands in the way of vote on the iron and steel tariff bill in the Sen ate. Action is expected tomorrow. To expedite business the Senate agreed to convene tomorrow at Il o'clock, an hour earlier than usual.
 From the standpoint of a protectionist, Mir. Cummns contended that the metal schedule is susceptible of material reduc- ton. He charged regular republican sen ators with the intention of absenting themselves during the balloting on the bill.
 Senator Stone of Missouri discussed the plan of the regular republicans to refrain 1 from voting. "1hey are going to desert
 the field'' he said.
 That Is a false report" shouted Sena- tor Hepburn.
 PThe senator from Idaho win not de- sert," replied MT Stone, mo one expects
 that. He is like tho boy who stood on the deck, whence all but him had fled. He will be there all the time until the ship goes down. Nevertheless. others are about to quit the bqttle, and put the fight up to the President. who already has all that he can bear" Senator Newlands of Nevada plans to offer an amendment designed as a com promise between the republican and demo- cratic propositions providing a gradual tariff reduction with brake, to be so applied as to prevent excessive importa- tions and the consequent disturbance of American industries.

ADJUSTMENTS
Orpheum

Next to the bill of the week of May 9th. the show at the Orpheum last night was the best in many, many days. It is some- what of a peculiar knaek of that popular playhouse to put on the best vaudeville bills that Birmingham has ever witnessed and the bill for this week is no excep- ton.
 The headlines for the week is the Boston Fadettes orchestra, of which Caroline Bs Nichols is the director The orchestra IS composed wholly of women. Considering the price of the show, this alone is worth the admission, 20 cents The programme states that the feature of the number Is a descriptive comedy number. "The Musi- clans Strike,'' and a synopsis of the num- Der is given, but they failed to produce it last night even though the house was crowded. The first number was 'Ight Cavalry" a martial air, by yon Sappe, which was decidedly the best number on the programme of the orchestra. This was followed by an extra responding to the hearty encore they received. little serenade, "En Sourdine" by Tellam, was played by the violin contingent of the or chestra. This was followed by comedy sketch. "The Watermelon Fete," by Thur ban. concluding the programme. The best enjoyed number of last nights bill was the bootblaek cuartette They sang several selections and responded to encores after each selection and filally the curtain had to be rung down in or der to continue the show. The audience refused to allow the quartette to leave the stage with their consent. Each mem Der of the quartette possessed a genuinely pleasing voice and their renditions were great success.
 The toast in song, Here's to the Health of Mother" was the feature of the act by Laurence and Thompson, singing, danc- ing and talking specialists. They intro duced some really refreshing comedy and son ething decidedly new. Both have pleasing voices. Their farewell, sung to the air of the .Alserere' was beautiful and quite an innovation.
 Al Leonhardt, the comedy juggler, stated that his father was also juggler, but one day in juggling knives, dropped one of them on his neck severing his ''juggler vein," hence the audience would have to accept him in severed capacity" He
 was really good and introduced some new wrinkles in juggling, interspersing it with comedy.
 George Hermann and Marion Shirley in a surprising novelty, "1he Mysterious Masquerade" are one of the best numbers on the programme. The feature of this | number is the wonderful contortion abl- ity of Hermann, made up as skeleton He was encored several times, and did
 not fail to please.

MODERN DAMON AND PYTHIAS
 HAVE COME TO A SAD, SAD FATE
ny c. E. STEWART

Washington, May 27.-(Special. )-Wash- ington is the birthplace of the great order of the Knights of Pythias, and that or der has a wonderful home in the city of its origin. Here in the brain of Justus Rathborne over 40 years ago was con ceiyed the ground work of the order, and is based upon the beautiful story of un- is based upon the beautiful stor yof un- dying friendship that existed between Damon, a senator of ancient Greece, and Rythias, his contemporary, who belonged to the soldiery. Damon incurred the dis pleasure of Dyonisius, the military and political despot of Athens, who ordered him thrown into prison, and Pythias. his friend, offered himself as hostage that Damon might visit his wife and child be- fore his execution. It is an old story and familiar one unparalleled in mythology or history and only equaled by the divine ly beautiful story of the opposite sex in the book of Ruth, where Ruth, the daugh- ter -in-law, followed Naomi(into a strange land begging for this privilege in the most beautiful language in the Bible: 'Intreat ms not to leave thee, nor to return from following after thee, nor 10 return from goest, I will go; thy country shall be my country, thy people my people, thy God my God"
 It is particularly sad, therefore, that Washington should be the one city where this great Pythian order of friendship, in- spired by the sublime and devoted friend ship of Damon and Pythias, should be given to the world and to whose charm ing precepts thousands all over the coun- try subscribe, and at the same time fur nish the fieshpots of political ambition,

ANOTHER ARREST
 IN ALLBR|GHT CASE
Coroner Refuses to Talk of Charge Against Martha
 Albright

More and more the apparent details of the alleged murder of Mrs. Minnie All- bright come to the fore as Coroner Brasher and his jury work on the case. The latest arrest is that of the sister of Jessie Albright, the husband who is already in jail charged with the murder of his wife. Miss Martha Albright, aged 30 years, has been arrested and placed in the county jail by Deputy Sheriff Chris Hartsfield on warrant issued by Coroner Brasher.
 Coroner Brasher has refused to give out any of the alleged evidence discovered upon Miss Albright. Rumors were made last night of a mysterious telegram which passed between concerned parties day or two ago and the detectives are now working on this clue.
 The jury meets again today to resume their deliberations over the evidence which is being introduced. It is thought that they will be in session for the bet ter part of this week, as the analysis of Chemist Williams of the stomach. liver and kidneys of Mrs. Albright will not be submitted to them until about Satur- day.

'H|AWATHA" IS
 GREAT SUCCESS
Dramatization of Poem Is Portrayal of Indian
 Legends

A very pleasant departure from the so-
 called "wild Vest shows in which h.
 dian life Is supposed to be depicted, is the performance of Longfellow's immortal
 poem, 'Hiawatha," as presented last
 night by the Indian players at Hall s
 park, Highland avenue. In the first place, every performer is a fullblood Indian, with the exception of Robert s. Pigott, who acts the Black Robe Chief" in the
 closing scene of the presentation; and every player feels the full importance of the part he takes, and in the most
 earnest manner endeavors to portray the legends and folk lore of the North Amer ican Indian.
 There is no attempt at acting in the accepted term; in fact, acting is forbid den by the promoters of the wonderful production. The consequence Is the man l ners and customs of the Indians are
 faithfully reproduced, just as they were practiced before the advent of the white man.
 The wild nature of the park selected realism to the spectacle and while the artificial lake is small it answers the purpose admirably.
 The wigwams of the Indians their elab- crate costumes, the wonderful light ef- fects and the splendid manner in which MT. Pigott declaims the lines. makes the performance one of the highest merit and the visitor is we'll repaid by the excel lence of this unique performance.
 Thara In a ba character of Hiawatha is taken by an Indian who is a great grandson of Chief Cornplanter, who was a personal friend of the poet Longfellow The part of the infant SHiawatha is taken by a little In- dian papoose. Kakomis has been in the hands of the same old Indian woman for several years and well does she do her part.
 The Reclamation of the beautiful lines of the poem by MT. Pigott are all that could be desired. His enunciation Is per- feet. his voice clear as bell. Without "ranting'' his voice is wonderfully pene- trating and can be heard distinctly in every part of the ampitheatre.
 The characterization of the poem neces- sarily made necessary a few improvisos but in no case has a change been made without excellent authority, and Hia- watha as presented Is an authentic re- production of Indian folk lore.
 The production is both meritorious and instructive, the interest being main tained throughout the performance. Apart from the worthy cause for which it is being presented, it is well worth visit and while the attendance last night was not large it was appreciative and liberal in it's applause. The performance will be repeated nightly and seat capacity audiences are predicted during the week.
