SPEECH RECEIVES
LITTLE APPLAUSE

Hobson speech received but little APP
plause and all of that from the re-
publican side of the House.
When Mr.. Underwood arose to address
him the House gave him great ova-
tion.
So enthusiastic We're the members that
it was several moments before he could
proceed.
When Mr.. Underwood was recognized he
expressed regret that Alabama politics
was dragged to the floor of the House,
but he maintained that every man whose
good name is challenged must meet the
issue Making reference TO a newspaper
statement that Mr.. Hobson had said in a
public speech and interviews that Mr..
Underwood was "a tool of Wall street
and a tool of the liquor interests" the
House leader declared that he had waited
patiently to answer the charge until he
could look Mr.. Hobson in the face and
challenge the truthfulness of the state
ment.
Mr.. Underwood then called on his col
league to affirm or deny the truth OF
these reports and rising in his place Mr..
Hobson said that he used 1.-THE double
word evidently a reference to repeating
the term tool In his speech in Ala
baina, said Mr.. Hobson. he had read the
attention OF the House in his remarks
today and he added: 81 assumed that
what Senator Bankhead said under oath
was true. that Mr. Underwood did not
know that his campaign in Georgia, Mis-
sissippi and other states was financed by
Wall street"
"lNel the gentleman knows that did
not know that, as Senator Bankhead did -

ADJUSTMENTS
Little Boy Blue"

The inimitable Otis Harlan, Vivian
VESSEL, Elizabeth Goodall. Pearl Pal
mer. Tom Burton. Frederick Lyon and
large supporting company presented
the romantic operetta Little Boy
Blue at the Jefferson theatre '1ast
night. 1t was thoroughly enjoyable
performance from beginning to end
with plenty of life and color, pretty
music, dainty love story and the
mirth provoking antics of Otis Har-
Ian, who kept the audience laughing all
the TING he was on the stage. Otis
Harlan is an old favorite in Birming-
ham, having played years ago at the
Bijou theatre with Little Chip and
Mary Marble in the Bjou Musical
Comedy company. He has risen in his
profession since then and is now one
of the most successful comedians on
the stage. His appearance last night
was personal triumph. His unctuous
personality soon put everybody In a
good hurnor and his absurdities were
easily the life of the piece, although
Miss Goddall as thunder and light
ming seeress. was an excellent foil in
the comedy scenes and acquitted her

Miss VESSEL. without much apparent
effort, succeeds in winning an audience
by a pleasing manner and voice that
is sweet in tone, if not of much volume.
She acted acceptably and made grace

The music of the piece is exception

agreeably on the ear and there is one
song, Love Never Dies,' somewhat
reminiscent of the famous waltz song
of 1.-THE Pink Lady with a similar
introduction of a violin, that is most
appealing in its tender. lifting melody
1t is needless to say that the mounting
of Little Boy Blue" is admirably done
with a series of very charming stage
effects, particularly when the scene OF
action is transferred to the bonny hills
of Scotland. And. by the way when
this part of the performance was
reached medley of Scotch songs were
sung by the company with a soprano
solo, Coming Through the Rye" by
Miss Katherine Dewitt, and an alto

forth enthusiastic applause. Miss Bald

do not charge an Interior motive to him
because of that, said Mr.. Underwood. !

question, today he voted with the stand
pat republicans against his own party
when the Payne tariff bill was pending

that section.
Its constantly growing popularity in
duced the owner several years ago to
construct rude two-story frame hotel
on the grounds and some attempt was
made towards a dancing pavilion which
all along have proved convenient, but so
great was the rush there during the past
summer that approximately $4,000 are now
