ADJUSTMENTS
.sThe Chiefv

All of the characters in Horace An nesley Vachelrs new comedy, 'sThe Chief" which is John Drew's charm ing offering this season, are interest ing types of society people in England at the present time. These people may be ultra dignified have exalted posi- tions and all that. but there is no mis- taking the fact that they are thorough ly human. One of the interesting characters is the young ward of the Earl of Tester. Here is a little miss still in her teens who stands up with picuant effrontery, gives her views of life and has figured out her own ideas of happiness and how she will achieve it. She will make you think that the oldest people in the world--the oldest in possession of know1ed ge-are the youngest. This young woman is the one ray of sunshine in the life of the Earl of Tester and he looks upon her as a father would, so that when some one hints that he is in love with and would marry the girl his perturbation is great. What would you make of me-" he exclaims, Ia baby snatcher ?'' As matter of fact the earl is very much in love with someone else and the plot hinges on the difficulties that surround the man in his efforts to round out his own happiness and that of the woman with whom he is in love MT. Drew and his company are to be seen at the Jefferson tonight

 Last nights performance at the Bijou closed the Grand Opera season in Bir- mingham, but by no means closed the desire of the public to again have Grand Opera. In fact, this should simply be a foretaste of the great events of this kind that should come to the city year after year.
 Both the afternoon performance of the well known and charming La Boheme" and the less familiar night opera-"The Love of Three Kings were beautifully given in every particular and with the added attraction of the exquisite Rus sian ballet, left nothing to be desired.
 Miss Maggie Teyte as Mimi the pathetic flower girl, and splendid cast made a charming afternoon performance The Spanish dances were full of the charm and grace of Spain-this was a real nov city for the Russian ballet and a dis tinct success.
 'L, Amore dei ire Re" or "The Love Of Three Kings is a recent opera bv Atalo Montemezzi, with Luisa Villain as the only woman principal The story is tragic and sombre, the deep heart-rend- ing action through it all lending an added gloom. The entire cast was finely ball. anced and each singer in excellent voice. The Snowflake Ballet was undoubtedly the most exquisite thing of the kind given through the entire opera season. Dainty and delicate, it left a balm on the audi ence after the grief-like effect of the tragedy.
 A very beautiful house greeted the opera on last night Society was out in full force and many exquisite costumes were seen.
 Birmingham has had many notable nau- slcal events but no operatic productions ever called forth more unstinted praise. The strong ensemble of the company. as well as the rare artistry of individual stars. were much remarked, as was also the finish and symphonic quality of the orchestra.

GENERAL GORGAS IS INTERESTED IN
 PREPAREDNESS
Famous Surgeon Pays Visit to City and Says He Is Proud of His Ala
 bama Connections

Surgeon General William C. Gorgas of Tuscaloosa, the man who made the Panama canal possible was at the Tutwiler last night General Gorgas removed the mosquitoes and malaria from the canal zone and enabled the engineers and the laborers to complete their work. Incidentally, General Cor gas is the man who removed yellow fe- yer from Havana and made the capital of the Cuban island habitable for Americans.
 '"rhe people of Birmingham and Ala bama are acquainted with my views on the mosquito and the various tropical fevers,'' said General Gorgas as he dined at the Tutwiler last night. "The principal thing in which I am inter ested at the present time is prepared ness. You know the resignation of Sec- retary Garrison has created a sensa- ton in Washington No, I cannot make any comment on his resignation. I am very glad to see that Gen. Leonard Wood has made trip to Birmingham. He is well posted on the needs of the army and I find that his addresses have made splendid impression in the south, However, we army officers cannot make any comment on the points made in his address.
 "As you may know, have been in Columbiana for the past two days en- gagged in cases against the Alabama Power company in which the question of the mosquito and malaria were in- volved. My testimony in those cases is a matter of public record and I do not care to discuss it. However, this is not the first time in Alabama nor in the United States that have been called on to give testimony in this regard" General Gorgas admitted that he had been asked to go to Servia to take part in the campaign in that country against typhus, but said that the fact that he was connected with the United States army had pre- vented
 'Tn spite of the fact that was born in another state," said the general, T feel as if I were a native of Ala ; bama and an alumnus of the univer- sity. Some of the older members of my family were born and educated at Tuscaloosa. You know my mother was for many years resident on the cana pus of the university and the members of my family were intimately connect ed with the institution. I feel as if LuScalOOSd IS my nome town ana Ala bama my native state"
 When asked if he had not been in- vited to go to Selma and several other cities to consider the malarial situa- ton there, General Gorgas admitted that he had, but he had nothing to say concerning what his decision in the matter would be. He made it plain, however, that he was now as he had been in the past, an army officer ot the United States, and he could and would not take any action without the consent of his department.
 General Gorgas, who was raised from the rank of colonel by an act of Con gress in recognition of his services in the canal zone, made it plain that he was in favor of a stronger army and navy but he declined to go into details in regard to either proposition.

 HAVE VEIN OF HUMOR
Head of Police and Fire Departments Tells Something About High State of Efficiency
 Existing

Commissioner Barber dominated the commission conference yesterday, for with suggestions and praise for the police and fire departments he easily occupied the limelight throughout the meeting. Tn the conference Commissioner Barber ad- vocated a reduction of the rate of Thigh rolling, pure fabric law, suggested the proper care of the veterans at the approaching reunion, and told what the police and firemen were doing under his direction. He began with the police and firemen:
 The chief of the fire department, ? said Commissioner Barber. 'has invented a new device for fighting fires. He has ordered all his men to go to the source of the flames. regardless of personal canger, and there to use the spray hose. This saves a great deal of property by protecting the contents of the house."

"RIDING IssUES"-W0N'T

Under the caption "Riding Issues
the Lincoln Daily Star, the second
strongest democratic paper in Ne
braska, in its editoriel leader on
Nov. 22nd, serves notice on William
Jennings Bryan that his attempt 10
ride into the White House on the
national water wagon will not sue
coed. Says the STAR:
Enemies Of the liquor traffic are
looking fondly forward to the
prospect for national prohibition and
there is considerable discussion Of
who may or may not be a candidate
FOR national leadership when the test
comes.
Experience in both Nebraska and
Iowa this year affords proof that the
people at large do not take kindly
to the ambition of ofice-hunters to
ride into place on the tides that
mark the adjustment Of such issues
as prohibition.
"In Nebraska the candidate for
governor and the candidate for
tor who sought to ride the wave of
favor for the amendment did not
have much to cheer over when the
votes were counted, for the same
people who voted in the amendment
voted that they might stay at home.
cover in Iowa a democratic candi-
date for governor sought to ride the
question into office and war
beaten by more than a hundred
thousand votes.
Perhaps it will be easier 20 ride
this question in a national campaign,
for the reason that there is no ma
tional referendum provision allowing
the question 70 be 1eterminded in
dependent Of tie fate of candidates
and parties. But there is no mis-.
the disposition of the people
10 frown upon that sort Of political
busting"
