THE HYPN0TIST WAS GREAT
AT HEBRON THEATER

Prof. Hemstreet, who opened a
two nights engagement at the Her
ron theater last night, was all he
advertised to be, and more. The
professor opened his entertainment
with a short lecture on mental telep-
athy and then gave demonstration
that was marvellous, and must be seen
to be appreciated.
His talk on hypnotism was very
interesting, he claiming that hypno-
tism is not the power of one persons
mind over another, but rather ones
own mind over his own body. or mind
over matter.
After coaxing a short time he sue
ceeded in getting several we'll known
young men upon the stage, and the
things he made them do while they
were under his influence was funny
in the extreme. No one doubted but
what he had them thoroughly hypnO-
tixed.
This entertainment is out of the
ordinary run of shows, and If our
people could understand what II
amounts to, the theater would moi
hold the crowds.
Prof. Hemstreet closes his engage
nent here tonight, and the worthy
performance he gave last night viii
advertise him today and, no doubt
he will have full house, as he justl,
should.

 Thick and Thin
MAKE NO CHANGE IN
 THE SOUTHERN FIELD
No Other Theatrical Organization Has Affiliation With Signers of the Statement in Cities Where
 Wells Operates

The powers that be" In the vaudeville world have issued signed statement re- garding the reports circulated in Birming- the Wells interests in Birmingham, ab- solutely denying any such condition and assuring MT. Wells that they are for him through thick and thin.
 The statement will no doubt set at rest the reports as it is signed by all the vaudeville leaders. including B. F. Keith, from the United Booking offices of America. the greatest of the organiza- tions that control vaudeville; Mrs. Charles E. Kohl and Charles E. Kohl. managing director of the Western Vaudeville as- sociation; Morris Meyerfield and Martin Beck. for the orpheum circuit.
 Mir. Wells was in Birmingham yester- day and gave out the statement, at the same time expressing regret that the controversy had arisen. He said he re- gretted the notoriety, but felt called upon to set the public straight as to the true situations He said he appreciated that the public was not interested in the in- side workings of the vaudeville business, but since so many misleading statements had been made he thought the public was entitled to the truth. He was in Bir- mingham in consultation with the owners and lessees of the Lyric theatre to let the contract for the construction of that theatre, and not in any way as result of the controversy that has arisen. Fol lowing is the statement of the vaudeville ma agnates.

DELIVERED ON JULY 10

Senator Joseph F. Johnston's speech in the Lorimer case In the United States senate. delivered July 10, now published and distributed as a public document in pamphlet form is attract
 ing attention and is spoken by many
 unbiased persons as a particularly able argument. The senator said in part:
 q shall assume that every senator who intends to vote to unseat William
 Lorimer is familiar with the printed evidence and has carefully considered
 the report of the committee selected by the Senate to ascertain the facts.
 Corruption is often less infamous and
 uniformly less cruel than injustice, and
 Judgment of custer against the sena-
 tor from Illinois rendered without a patient and full consideration of the evidence would be opposed to fun damental maxim of humanity and of
