TRUCKING NOW SPECIALIZED
It Is Not Easy to Thread the Crowded
 Thoroughfares of New York

From the New York Sun.
 In a great city there is bound to be specialization on all sorts of lines. There are thousands of people who have prac- tically the same needs and the law of supply and demand secures for them a corresponding number who can provide for those wants This is true of modern trucking.
 It is no easy task for a team to thread it's way through the confused tangle of a great eity's traffic, and when the drivers task is to move some large or unwieldly object his difficulties are great CT That is why the teamsters and truck CTS of 2 town like New York have become experts in their work. They must be to overcome the obstacles which confront them.
 The four or eight horse team which draws the heavy load of steel girders for some downtown skyscraper has become a familiar sight to the business man and he seldom stops to think how much plan ning and experience Is necessary 10 carry this great load through the street with safety. There is science of house moving. too. and 1t has been developed to such point that hardly any building is so large that it cannot be moved

Few people in this country realize how much the present situation in Mexico means to the future of the Monroe Doctrine" says F. s. James of Mexico City. Without exaggera- tion, the question of European inter- ference in Mexico is an issue. The United States will find itself in a much more embarrassed position re- garding it's attitude in Mexico than has ever been anticipated by Amer ica's diplomats of the Madero regime does not soon establish order in the disrupted republic.
 Already interests of Europeans in Mexico. representing millions of dol lars, have petitioned their respective governments to intercede and save them from ruin. It is the Monroe Doc trine alone that has to this time pre- vented interference by either England or Germany Judging from present in- dcations. it would seem that the Ma dero government is not able to cope with the situation, and if it totters hen the time is at hand for this gov ernment, or some other power, to step n and save the~ lives of the people and business interests. l believe the question of interference must be de- oid,d quickly. or the Monroe Doctrine Svili be re1egated to ohscurity, with the other relies of diplomacy"

Emma Bunting Plays Pretty Miss
 Nobody at Biiou

Those who saw the wonderful acting of Little Emma Bunting in Tess of the storm Country" can prepare them selves for a revelation at the Biiou this week, when she will present Miss Nobody" The part in this new play s said to far exceed in heart interest. action and sympathy that of any of her other plays here this season, even in- cluding the part of Tess"
 In Pretty Miss Nobody" Miss Bunt- ing first appears as a little waif in one of the western cities of the coun- try. She is there discovered by a wealthy and influential English family travelling in America. and she interests them immensely, especially the son. They decide to take her home with them to England, where she may de- veiop in the friendship of tho promi- rent people. However, the friends of ;he English family do not treat her with kindness and she is frequently un- happy this feeling ending when she cverhears conversation in which she is severely criticised This decides her to leave the protecting roof of her friends and she goes to Paris
 In Paris Little Miss Nobody quickly becomes somebody, for she discovers her great talent as a sculptor and earns great fame for herself. So great Is her talent in fact that she becomes recognized as one of the leading sculp- tors of the day. and establishes q stu dio where she receives the world re- nowned artists. It is here that the young Englshman finds her afterward.
 Those who know Miss Bunting and have seen her in the various plays at the Biiou this season can readily i'm agine how much better this part win be for her than any of the others ,n which she has appeared here It is better than Tess in Tess of the storm Corntry; superior in every way to the Blue Mouse in "The Blue Mousse
 and affords Miss Bunting much better opportunity to act than she had as Salomy Jane-in the play of that name.
 Women and children will hbe espe- cially pleasedl with the part Miss Bunt-
 ing has in Pretty Miss Nobody for
 in it are mingled tears and laughter, heart throbs and gay moments and tn both Miss Bunting exhibits her. skill as an actress g tsr

Congress ought to be poor picking for broncho artists. but two young sters recently worked that field with gratifying results. According to the testimony of Representative Johnson of K en lucky and numerous secreta ries the two boys-Alfred Spivey and Leo Han c"rk-have got from the pockets of various representatives sums aggregat- ing more than S11 within twok weeks Their method of obtaining funds for candy, chewing gum and trips to pie ture shows so impressed those whom they visited that they met with but few failures.
 Representative Johnson told Justice DeLacv that the two lads walked into his office one day and took him into their confidence by describing in de- tail the ball team the youngsters of Capitol Hill were organizing, and which was to be called the "Congres- sional Sluggers." Of course. no ball team was complete without suits, the hoys explained, and it was their duty as a committee of two to supply the required apparel.
 Through the generosity of an after noon newspaper, the boys said. they were given the privilege of soliciting subscriptions and after they had ob- tained certain amount the paper was to furnish them with suits. Represen- tative Johnson subscribed then and there. So did many others in tho House office building.
 After waiting several days for the appearance of the paper, Representa- tive Johnson reported the matter to the police. Other reports were made almost a dozen in number, and the police set out on a trail of the dnan- ciers. They were apprehended in the House office building several days ago. admitted their guilt, and were taken to the House of Detention. Az
 Ter promising never to repeat their offense the boys were placed on pro- nation for six months.

Washington April -(Special)- It will not be long nov before the presidential situation will begin to cIar- fly Already more than half the dele gates to the republican convention have been named and hardly a day passes that the list is not added to. In democratic circles the men who arc to name the candidates and outline the campaign issues are also being rap idly chosen.
 At this writing the renomination of President Taft seems as certain as anything can be in American politics The only thing that can defeat him is tue assertion of men who have been Instructed for him or the success of practically all the Roosevelt contests. Neither of.these contingencies Is like ly to arise.
 The democratic outlook is by no means so clear. It looks as though there would be pleasant times for dark horses in Baltimore in June. Clark and Wilson apparently are in the lead, but it is hard to figure where either of them is to get two-thirds of the convention.
 Former Senator Fred Dubois, who is managing Speaker Clark's cam paign, is one of the most cheerful poll iticlans in Washington. He appears to have a supreme confidence in the success of his man. Dubois is a pie turesque type of American. An old baseball catcher, of a team once cele- brated at Yale, he likewise, formerly punched cows from Blackfoot to Cheyenne and chased polygamous Mormons while a s1arshal of the United States. He is an erect. full chested and large eyed six footer, and has served two terms in the Senate. Up to the year 1896 he was repuh-. iican. With Henry M Teller and Ricf ard r. Pettigrew, both senators. Frank J. Cannon, son of a Mormon functionary by a plural wife, and oth- CTS. he marched out of the St Louis convention that nominated William Mckinley for President because 16 to was voted down and gold instead was written into the platform. His home for more than 90 years has been in Idaho. He has irrigated ranches, one of 4S0 acres, and grows alfalfa, po- tatoes and wheat How much of his confidence is the real thing and how much is bluff only Dubois knows, and he won't tell.

Another Great Headline Feature for
 the Orpheum

That expense cuts no figure in tho selection of the vaudeville acts for the Orpheum theatre is illustrated this week by the booking of the Five Musi- lal Girls probably the highest priced musical act of the kind in vaudeville. The act comes to the Orpheum from the Forsyth theatre in Atlanta, where it was headliner last week, and where the prices are five times those charged ct the aOrpheum.
 The Five Musikal Girls is composed Of Mary Wilczel<, violin; Lillian Prin- gle, cello; Eleanor Piper, cornet; Edith Swan Corbett, trombone, and Estellc Churchill, piano and drums. The girls present varied programme of artistic and popular numbers, entertaining all classes of theatregoers with the class of amusement that Birmingham seems 10 like best in music. It is freely pre- dicted that the act will prove a greater hit than did Pietro. The girls compos- ing the act were the five soloists of the Boston Fadettes," a famous mi- sical organization of the Hub.
 "The Fresh Freshman is the title of the classic in slang which Pete I.au- iepee and company will present this week. The act is a college stunt and the slang that the college boys spring is said to be. more famous than any fable in slang that George Ade ever wrote. The company is composed of MT. Laurence as the freshman; charles Van as the other college student, ana Ursula Nolan as his sister. the girl in the case. The act has been a big com edy success everywhere.
