DONE WITH CRUTHERS


 "As far as the Memphis club is con- cerned, we are through with Cruthers, p stated Manager Stark last night. "Cruthers is a good ball player. We wanted him to return here. We have gone, I think. more than the limit in Cruthers' case, and now I don't care whether he comes or not. would rather he would stay in Chester than come to the Memphis club the least bit dissatis- fled. I certainly do not want any dis satisfied ball players on the team and don't expect to have them.
 ''We can get along without Cruthers and expect to do so. I am very enthu- siastic over the showing of Roy Grimes, the young second baseman now with the team. Grimes will be kept at second base for the present. I am now nego- tiating with second baseman who think will be more valuable to the Mem phis club than Cruthers would be- am not in a position to disclose his nanA at present, but you can say that if we secure him he will capably fill Cruthers' shoes He is better base runner, will hit as good as Cruthers and field equally as well.
 sT have the financial support of the owners of the Memphis club and we are going to give the local fans a contender for the pennant. We will be in the fight right from the jump. Cruthers nor no other player will disrupt the Memphis team"

The petition of the Birmingham, Ensley
and Bessemer railroad, known as the
Tidewater lines, to transfer its holdings
to the Birmingham Railway, Light and
Power company was taken up by the
Alabama public service commission here

ter and Hill Ferguson of Birmingham

greatly benefited by the transfer of the
Tidewater properties to the Birmingham
Railway. Light and Power company
The case will be taken up formally be-
fore the Alabama public service commits
sion Tuesday morning at $50 o'clock. At
that time it is expected that the city will
present its arguments in regard to the
proposed merger, while the Tedewater
company will maintain it's position as
having the right to consolidate
The witnesses heard this afternoon tes-
titled that the feature of the transfer
system on the Tidewater and Birming-
ham Railway, Light and Power company
would acrue to the benefit of the peo-
pie of Birmingham. Briefs have been
filed by both sides on the question. 1t
is doubtful whether or not the public
service commission will render a de-
cision at the conclusion of the argu-
ments The consensus of opinion is that
they will take the matter under advise
ment and render their decision at
later date.

by generous and frequent applause.
Miss Boyer is supported by very ca
pable cast and the play itself is as re-

of q waif, who after being prosecuted
by a gambler and making a self-sacrifice
to save her brother from prison. becomes
the wife of the influential Senator Hol-
lywood Later these two attempt to
prevent the passage Of an anti-gambling
law by bringing up incidents in the early
life of the senator's wife. They are as
sisted by the "other woman who is in
love with the senator and seek to sep
arate him and his wife.
A number of thrills and comedy situa-
tons are interspersed throughout the
play, and while for a time villainy seems
to triumph, the story has a delightful
ending.
Miss Boyer was ably supported by
Ferdinand Tidmarsh as Senator Holly
wood, Otis Skinner is the gambler, Henry
Tesla. the we'll known light comedian:
Thaddeus WILDER, Jimmie Brown, Daniel
Lawler, William Mccarthy. Fred Thomp-
son, Bert Hall, Jane Stuart, Corda Davy,

Record breaking crowds are anticipated
this week at the Bijou.

HAS USED NATONA
FOR THIRTY YEARS
Judge Horace Davenport
Mobile, Ala, Has Known
and Used Natona From
the First as a Tonic
and Reconstructive

Judge Horace Davenport, born and
raised in the city of Mobile, and now
a recident of that city. was for IS years
a justice of the peace in Washington
county, and has a very wide acquain-
lance throughout southern Alabama.
has been a friend and patron of Natona
for more than 30 years.
He has given the Natona company the
following testimonial:
Il have known and esteemed Natona
as a remedial agent for more than 80
years, and have used 1t in my family
more or less regularly during that period.
From my personal knowledge of its
virtues I can unhesitatingly pronounce it
tonic, or family remedy of the
highest value. 1t covers wide range
of ailments, resulting from disarranged
stcmachs and weakened condition of the
system. which are constantly appearing
in nearly every family.
For general debility | have found it
greatly beneficial, restoring lost weight
aiding the digestion, improving the ap-
petite and giving strength generally to
the entire system.
For indigestion | can also recommend
it from personal use. and believe there
are few cases of this dread ailment that
ii will not quickly relieve and effect d
permanent cure In cases of impure u
in poverished blood it furnishes necessary
ingredients easily assimilated which soor
enrich and restore and its value in this
respect is hard to over-estimate.
1T possesses great tonic value. and
after attacks of chills and fever or other
illness, Natona will quickly restore the
sy stem to normal strength and give back
lost weight 1t is a pleasant tonic.
II am pleased to give this testimonial
for i regard Natona as blessing to
suffering humanity. especially those who
suffer from stomach troubles, or are in
reed of tonic to build UP the run down
condition"

RICKREALL FARMER MISSING

Deep mystery surrounds the disap-
pearance of John Loe from his home,

directions from the Loe ranch, but not
the slightest trace can be found of him.
Mr.. Loe has been in rather poor
health for some time and it had been
noticed that he was becoming some
wnat despondent. 1t is feared that his
mind has given away and that he may
be wandering aimlessly around some
where, or, forgetting his own identity,
has sought employment with some
threshing crew. He is described as be-
