highly successful run of this feature
at the Alamo all last week. The al
legorical presentation of Truth, even
though involving the use of the fig
ure of an %undraped woman, was so
artistically done, and carried such a
strong moral lesson, that instead of
being condemned, it was approved"

of approval on "Hypocrites" was

it was not Objectionable as far as he

SAYS LAWSON TOLD
 HIS MEN ID FIGHT
Pat Murphy Testifies at Trial of Labor
 Leader

Trinidad, Col, April 27.-A witness
 who gave his name as Pat Murphy.
 alias J. R. Murphy. testified today at
 leader charged with murder, that Tt
 the time Lawson was telephonins .he
 governor of Colorado that he could n't
 control striking miners in southern rColorado he was telling the men tc
 go out and fight.
 Murphy told on the stand d story
 of seeing Lawson on tht scene of the battle at Ludlow, October %, 1913, in which John Nimmo deputy sheriff. in connection with whose death Law son in on trial, lc>t his life. His story closely followed that told yesterday by Charles Snyder Murphy said h,. went with Snyder to Ludlow the day Nimmo was killed in an automobile loaded with ammunition.
 "When we approached the Colorado and Southern railroad cut he sail, i've showed what we called our flag of truce. We were stopped by Law son and some other fellows. They were using the cut for breastworks Lawson came over to the auto mobile and said: My God, boys, is any body hurt? We fired about 250 shots at you, thinking 1t was the gunb oat. "The gunboat was one of the names applied to an armored automobile usco by the operators during the recent strike" Counsel for Lawson sought to make Murphy admit he was en- ployed by a detective agency, but he avoided such an admission.
 Snyder, who was under cross exam ination a large part of the day. tes- tified he at present Is employed "in- directly by private detective agency. Under questioning he declared he was receiving S75 a month through A c. | elts, connected with detectN c agency; that he was hired by the M ne Owners association to assist in the prosecution of Lawson, and that he himself was under bond charged with he murder of Nimmo and other all leged crimes 4

Giye the Girl An Equal Chance
Service Club to Have Musicale Tonight the Tuwer Hotel for the Benefit of the Detention Home-The
 Girls Club and Its Purposes
Ny CHARLES H. MANDY
ted yet today this is an

have been secuted yet today this is an accomplished fact
 The Girls Social Service club was or ganized q short time ago It's primary purpose was to secure and equip deten- tion home for girls andAwomen With their mothers as an advis ry board they went to work to raise fund for this pnr- pose. They don't propose to beg, but by giving entertainments and sales of work and other methods they expect to contrib ute their share in maintaining the home and tonight at the Tutwier hotel they have planned q musicale at which num- Der Of high class artists will appear. The entire proceeds will go to the home.
 Just a word about the detention home for women. To the crying shame of the city of Birmingham and the county of Jefferson there is not a matron at any of the jails. There can be no better method devised that will rob a woman, no matter to what depths she may have fallen, of the last vestige of self respect than to be incarcerated in the city or county jail under the present conditions. This was emphasized very strongly by Judge N. l. Grubb of the United States court when he declared in no uncertain terms that no white woman charged with a federal offense should be detained in the county jail. It is horrible place and fully bears out the statement of pr. Oates that it is
 entirely unfit for human habitation. ;" And yet in this dungeon white women are detained. Sheriff Batson is not to blame for it would be as easy to make a parlor out of a piesty as to make the dungeon set aside for white women in any way desirable.
 And it is to remove the White women from susch surroundings that these girls of the Social Service club are working and striving The older women have struggled for years to secure a place of detention for women and girl prisoners. It is not designed to take the place of the courts for a woman must be tried if she offends the law as must man but who is there can say that a woman should be further degraded while in jail awaiting her trial? The detention home for women is one of the most forward steps taken in years in the wretched prison system in vogue in our state.
 Do not for moment imagine that the girls who are working for this end have lost any of their girlsh charm by this work. On the contrary, they can sing more blthly and dance more merrily than ever in the consciousness of having brought ray of sunshine into the hearts of those whom life seems never ending night" May heavens richest and choicest blessings fall on each one of them.

One cannot fail to he impressed with the kindly spirit that prompted the Big Brother movement among the several fraternal and other organizations. It's purpose was to help the boy who never had a chance" Neglected bovhood is very sad and it is grand thing to give such boys the glad hand and help them to rise above his surroundings. But if neglected boyhood is sac what about his sister If the boy "never had a chance" what about the girl from the same environments? Not discrediting the splendid work that nas been accom- plished for the reclamation of the boy, is it not fact that we have been shame fully neglectful of the girl?
 While. there has for many years been some place for the neglected girl to go and someone for the neglected girl to see yet in comparison with what has been done for the neglected boy, the girls opportunities pale into utter in- significance. yet, thanks to the persistent efforts of a small but noble band of women the neglected girl is coming into her own and with the movement started they hope in the very near future to place the sister on. equal footing so far as care and opportunities are concerned, with the brother.
 Not only this, but there has been a movement started in Birmingham not only to look after the neglected girl, but the girl who has erred And who do you reckon is behind this movement? We are so accustomed to seeing these move ments in the hands of sweet-faced, white haired old ladies that it does not seem possible that any others could or rather would, do the work. But in the past few months there has been a change, and a bevy of charming, cultured society buds have banded themselves together to help the woman who is down and out.
 One has been so accustomed to think of the young society girls as mere social butterflies that it comes as a pleasant surprise to learn that they are inter- ested in other things besides frills and furbelows, not that we object to the frlls and furbelows aforesaid, for noth- ing on earth is so attractive as 8 young woman becomingly attired. Not many years ago the idea of a dainty debutante taking an interest in social service would

 ''Treatment of prisoners in the de- tention camps in Germany varies con siderably according to locality. Our men in most cases suffered from want of food and have received differential treatment as compared with their French and Russian comrades ard many acts of violence have been con- plained of. Latterly, however, there does appear to be slight improve ment, in some respects, due perhaps to visits of inspection made from time to time through the American ambas sador.
 Recently some of our officers have been subjected to solitary confinement in retaliation for the supposed treat ment of Germans in this country. The Hague convention does not admit Df such confinement of prisoners of war except as an indispensable measure of safety and I hope before long to ob- tain some evidence of the manner in which these officers are now beini,
 treated by Germany.
 Germany has for many years posed
 before the civilized world as great military nation. She has abundant ly proved her military skill and cour-
 sge But surely it was also for hcr to set lip standard of military honor and conduct which would gain the re- spect, if not the friendship, of nations Instead she has stopped to acts which will surely stain indelibly her military history and which would vie with tfe tarbarous sawagery of the Deryisfes of Sudan.
 q do not think there can be a sol dier of any nationality, even among inc Germans themselves, who is not heartily ashamed of the slur which has been thus brought upon the profession of arms. The usages of war have not only been outraged by the infliction of orue1ties on British prisoners, but by a contrivance which must have arrest ed your lordships attention the Ger rI.ans have in the last week introduced a method of placing their opponents hors de combat. by the use of asphyx- iating and deleterIous gases, and they employ these poisonous methods to

But if the audience was lacking in size it made up in enthusiasm and the really clever performance received round after round of well deserved applause The production was fully up to the Black friars standard, well acted and admirably staged and afforded a splendid vehicle for the display of versatile talent of the club of 1914-l5.
