NEW LONDON, Sept. 1.-THE
first problem on which the Ameri-
can and Mexican commissioners here
have failed TO reach quickly a COM
mon ground of understanding was
confronted today. After listening
further TO the views of Gen. Tasker
II. Bliss, assistant chief Of staff of
the army. regarding border cOndi-
tons, an effort was begun TO fix re-
spOnsibility for the Columbus raid.
as we'll as the Carrizal and Parral
incidents.
The American commissioners in
sisted that the de factO government
accept responsibility for the Colum-
bus raid. The Mexican commission
ers contended that the American
commander at Columbus had i'd
vance information of the intended
Villa raid, and that no blame at
tached To the Carranza government.
To this the American commissioners
responded that the raiders came
from and returned TO the territory
supposed to be under control Of the
de factO Mexican government and
that therefore the blame and re-
sponsibility should be placed there.
In regard 10 the Parral incident
the commissioners were just as far
apart. The Mexican commissioners
declared that the American troops
in attempting TO pass through the
town exceeded their orders as they
were understood by the Carranzista
authorities throughout Mexico.

Thus Judge A. NJ. Aston, who pre-
sided over the third division of the JEFF
ferson county criminal court, yesterday
afternoon directed Balliff H. F. Rape to
remove juryman to the confines of the
county Jail for period of "a hours, or

bibed had worn off.
Judge Aston, fresh from the conquest
of the demon rum" in Girard, arrived
in Birmingham yesterday morning to aid
in relieving the congestion of the Grim
inal docket. In the afternoon session of
court he was considerably perturbed and
later amused by the appearance of a jury
man who seemed to be in a befuddled
mental condition.
This juryman was asleep in the first d.
vision courtroom, presided over by Judge
Harrington P. Heflin, when all the jurors
were ordered to report to Judge
Aston. Two bailiffs OF Judge Helm s
court assisted him to the courtroom of
Judge Aston, where his actions imme-
dately attracted the attention of the
court.

brought back before Judge Aston this

At the Biiou

Broadway After Dark an old fash
Toned melodrama, with all the thrilling
climaxes that goes with this type of show,
is the offering of the Bijou this week
The villain, with his devious hayward
ways plots against the heroine of the piece
in the most lurid manner. There is the
son of the rich man who falls in love
with her, the father of the rich son who
foils the hopes of the two lovers, the re-
turn to the old life and finally the death
of the bold bad man who wrecks, almost.
the lives of the fond lovers. In the end
the whole thing comes out all right for
all concerned. There are a few tears a
little laughter and the curtain drops amid
the plaudits of the audience.
Judging from the applause the piece
received last night it pleased. Broad
way after Dark is the work of w. c.
