first on the list Of callers.
Senators Stone, Ledge and Smeet had
an engagement Immediately after Rep
resentative Kennedy of Connecticut,
former Governor Campbell of Texas,
Senator Johnston and Representative
Richardson Of Alabama. and Henry w.
Deoley of Porte Rico, saw the Pnesi-

Conduct Of President
With the Wilson administration one
week old today, those who frequent
the White House are receunting the
democratic conduct of the new Presi-
dent He works every day In a light
gray business suit. Mr.. Taft wore a
eutaway much of the time and occa-
sionaily>a dark blue suit. Mr.. Roose-
velt fav6red a dark cutaway suit.
President Wilson has been wearing
gray suits for the last two years and
1t Is only on day when he Is prepar-
Ing to attend formal ceremony that
he abandons his business suit.
The series of afternoon formalities
with the diplomatic corps and the vari-
convenienced the President somewhat,
as he has found 1t necessary to change
to formal dress In the middle of the
day. The President received the su-
preme court day last week In a
new sack suit of the salt and pepper
variety. He wore a frock, however,
when the diplomatic corps came to the
east room yesterday. The President
usually wears gray tie and little
stickpin showing the American coat
of-arms.
Secretary Garrison's conference with
President Wilson was to discuss many
questions affecting the Philippine archi-
pelago Though the secretary did not
wish to cite the Presidents position In
regard to the Philippine Independence
matter, the Impressions about the White
House was that the subject would not
be taken up at the special session of
Congress, but would be left until Decem-
ber Both the President and Mr.. Garrf-
son regard the Philippine question as OF
great Importance and they expect to ap-
proach it by way of many conferences,
and with much consideration.
AppointmentsNU Urged
p. A. Stovall of Savannah, Ca, is be-
ing strongly urged for diplomatic post
by Senators Bacon and Hoke Smith. 1t
has been considered likely that he would
go to Switzerland, though no post has
been definitely fixed upon. Justice J. w.
Gerard of New York, continues to be
prominently mentioned for an ambassa-
dorship.
National Committeeman d. A. Dooley
Of Porto Rico called to ask about the
administration policy for Porto Rico.
I'VE are after larger measure of home
rule for Porto Rico he declared. The
President recently favored the idea of
granting citizenship to Porto Ricans.

Harry Lauder

A noted little Scotchman came to town
yesterday and when he went away he
left many hundreds of people happier for
his visit. The fame of Harry Lauder had
long ago preceded him, of course, but
when he appeared at the jefferson the
atre yesterday afternoon and last night,
with his vaudeville company. it was his
first visit to Birmingham. He soon won
the affections of everybody who saw him
smile and heard the sound of his infec-
tious laugh. He has the sort of person
ality that radiates good humor and good
cheer. His quaint appearance, his songs
and his jokes have a quality all their
own that hundreds of imitators have
striven in vain to grasp. Some of his
jests were already known to his audiences
but when Mr.. Lauder delivered himself
of witticism, he invested it with his
own rare humor, which lies in a twink
ling eve. a sly glance and a vernacular
that lends itself admirably to the express
sion of sentiment or the more robust uses
of comedy.
No finer test of Mr.. LADDERS ability
as an entertainer could be given than
the fact that he remains on the stage for
a length of time that would stagger
the average comedian, only retiring for
change of costume. Again and again
he comes back. On each occasion he
seems fresh and new. He portrays
Scotch character in various forms, each
distinctive and each revealing the SIM
plicity of his genius. In curtain talk
he said that he hoped to come back to
Birmingham, year after year. He would
be most welcome, for Harry Lauder is
the kind of man who is good to know
His humor is clean and rich in the fla
vor of Scotland.
The first half of the performance was
taken up by a number of vaudeville
"acts' OF varying excellence. While for
the most part the entertainment offered
was very good, it was not by any means
startling. One 4'team" in the company
has appeared here already this season at
popular prices. However, it was unques-
tionably one of the best on the pro-
gramme.
Velanche's football dogs, the Dolce
sisters, charming vocalists, Mile. Bertha
and her violin, the Brothers Sandrosin
unusual acrobatic work, a skating num-
ber, and some Spanish dancing COM
pleted the programme. While these fea-
lures of the entertainment were not with
out merit, Mr. Lauder is the person who
persuades people that they have gotten
their moneys worth.
