BIRMINGHAM ID SEE F |NE ORGANIZATION
Famous Washington Square Players to Be Here Under
 Drama League Auspices

The famous Washington Square Players of New York will appear at the Jefferson theatre next Thursday under the auspices of the Birming- ham center Drama League of Amer ica. Mrs. w. D. Smith is president of the local center which has been ac- tive in securing the appearance here of this noted organization. They will present a repertoire of 10 high class and widely diverted one-act plays, five at the matinee and five entirely different ones at the night perform ance. Two of the plays are by Mate -terlinclS. .-1-.-1 '4e
 Mrs. Smith states that Birmingham is one of the few cities that will sec the Washington Square Players in the interim between their New York and Chicago seasons The company that will be seen at the Jefferson is the same that has just terminated a two months run at the Playhouse" Chi cago, where they presented the same repertoire of plays that will be given here.
 The unbounded success of the or came known as a center of all that is most clever and amusing in the theatre, has brought many requests for the players to appear in various cities. Their tour. however, is very limited because of the demand for them in New York and Chicago and the local Drama league members con- Sider themselves fortunate in secur- ing their appearance here.

TICKETS STILL ON DUTY

Washington, February n.-(Special) When the international crisis was first precipitated, a great many newspapers throughout the United States expressed the hope that the suffrageRes would display Judgment and good taste to the extent of withdrawing their pickets from about the White House entrances.
 The suffragettes are keenly resentful Instead of withdrawing, their intention is daily to increase the strength of the pickets and finally on March 5, the date of the inauguration, to draw with their skirts a complete circle about the spa cious grounds.
 Mrs. Abby Scott Baker, believing that irrespective of any effect on the situa- tion one should strike for herself when the iron is hot, says: "The necessity for protest against the unenfranchise- ment of women was never more obvious than it is today when decisions of such inpol tance to the whole citizenship are being made by the President and Con- gress. It is inconceivable that 20,000.Oo0 unenfranchised men would permit only women to decide the issues of war and peace"
 So the pickets will not be withdrawn. They will be redoubled. And on March 5, the suffragettes will storm the White House Their leaders do not believe that in continuing their policies they are displaying poor judgment or showing bad taste It is evidently their viewpoint that if they can add a trifle to the burdens under which the. President is oppressed today, the more certain will be surren- der and give them what they want, or what they think they want.

Pacifists Are Sending Out 100000 Postcards to Ob-
 tain Sentiment
RESULT OF VOTE IS
 NOT MUCH IN DOUBT
List of Names Is Especially Selected. Suffragettes Continue Their Pick cts at White House Gates De-
 spite Great Crisis
By HIGH ". RoBERrs

Washington, February ns-(Special) Under way at the present time is a na- tion-wide referendum on the subject Of war. The pacifists, devoted followers of that terrestrial prince of peace. Will liam Jennings Bryan, have evolved scheme whereby it may be made to ap- pear that irrespective of the opinion of President Wilson, the American people want peace at any price.
 A formidable number of the members of the American Union Against Milf tarism, in the list of whom Amos Pin chot is quaintly interlarded between Lil- Han D. Wald and Sophonisba P. Breck- enridge, have been designated to conduct the election. They have mailed post cards to 100000 men and women-1oOooo selected from population of as many n1illion-on which the addressed are urged to express their convictions. It is regarded as a foregone conclusion that majority of those selected will declare that irrespective of the future conduct of Germany, the United States should supinely procrastinate and continue to turn the other cheek following the re- ception of each new insulting blow.
 In the list of promoters of the scheme appear the following singularly impress sive American names: Wald, Pinchot, HaIlinan, Berle, Zona, Gale, Lewisohn, McSparran, Meurer Mussey, Willard and VarbaSSe,

 Dr. Thomas M. Owen. son-in-law of Senator Bankhead. is curator of ar chives and history and has one floor Of a wing of the capitol stored full of historical records and state heirlooms. These include, for instance, the Bible on which Jefferson Davis took the oath of office A complete museum of state curios and valuables and a gal lery containing the portraits of all the noted men of the state attract the at tention of many tourists, and if part of this was in Washington it would come before the attention of many times more interested persons.
 Two other state departments that have interesting data and exhibits all ready prepared are the bureau of inn Emmet A. Jones, and the department of education, in charge of William r. Feagin. state superintendent of schools
 Governor Henderson expressed the hope that the United States Congress would set an example for the state by making an appropriation for a central building to house an exhibit of the work of the various government de4 partments, and that then the indi- vidual states, as soon as they could. would feel encouraged to house their exhibits in state buildings conforming to a unit plan of architecture.
 It may be interesting to note that Montgomery is the birthplace of the Southern Commercial congress. Gros- venor Dave was secretary of the Chamber of Commerce when he con ceived the idea that germinated into the Southern Commercial congress. Dr. Clarence J. Owens, whom he called to be commissioner of agriculture of the congress, and who succeeded him as managing director, was at that time president of an agricultural college at Abbeville. not far from Montgom- cry.

Washington, February 11-fSpeclal) Under a Montgomery date line staff correspondent sends the following in teresting story to the Washington Star:
 There should be a permanent exhibit of all the states maintained in the na- tfonal capital. l believe that such an exhibit would do more than anything else to bringing these states into closer relationship in our great union Gov. Charles Henderson of Alabama made this statement.
 "This is an important matter. It has strong educational value. Ii gives ex- pression to state pride, of course, but that is of minor consideration in com parison with the wealth of information that will be given to the people of the country in an entertaining way, that will impress it in lasting way upon their memories
 "This exhibit from each state would be official, authoritative regarding tht resources and the industrial products. Many published statements about re- sources and products of the states are not auln6nllC OeTld1H SLdIeS dHu Ger tain sections have an unflattering rep utation they do not deserve. Some states have important natural re- sources the people of the country know little about. All the states have his toric material they would be proud to show their fellow countrymen.
 There would be real meeting 1f r. I, fruits would they be known. It would be concrete, concentrated visualiza- tion of what each state has done in growth. what it stands for in terms ol industry and skill of it's citizens. It would be comparative lesson where each state could learn something from the others.
 q am heartily in favor of the prop osition and will be glad to cooperate with the other governors for it's &C., complishment. I believe firmly that we should have such an exhibit where every visitor to our seat of national government might have chance to see the best that each individual state IS doing and how it is fulfilling it's part in the concerted life of the union.'
 Alabama has for nearly twoscore years been making remarkable indus trial, agricultural and educational de- velopment. The state is well fitted to make an interesting exhibit, for it maintains four state organizations that are constantly abreast of the times in preparing just such matter as would best portray the state in such com pendulum of the states.

and plant plenty of such vegetables as will survive spring weather
 Make Garden Long-The garden plot should be twice as long as it is wide so as to permit the. horse and blow. This will facilitate cultivation and reduce the damage from turning by 50 per cent The soil should be deep loam full of humus and well drained. Stable manure is the best garden fertilizer. because it supplies humus and opens soil, causing it to absorb heat and moisture in addition to the fertilizer value Garden soil should be prepared very deeply and well puverized. Plant early vegetables on beds or small ridges. because the elevation supplies drainage and bet ter temperature than planting level. Make the beds or rows long and equal distance apart so as to systematize cultivation
 What to Plant-Irish potatoes, mus tard, onions, lettuce, beets, English peas, radishes, spring turnips, early corn should be planted and cabbage set. Plant few early bunch beans and cover them on cold nights. They might get killed, but if they do. what is the loss of a few bean seed com pared with the early beans if they succeed?
 Prepare Hot Beds-Prepare hot beds for sweet potatoes, tomatoes, etc. To- mato plants can be grown in green houses, plate glass windows or in boxes kept in the sunshine during the day and moved into the house at night. Be sure to grow plenty of all vegetables. Begin early and keep it up until late. As one crop is exhausted, plant another on the same land. Vege- tables are healthful, invigorating, rel ishable and reduce the cost of living Now that the coldest weather is prob ably past, show your thrift by the gar den you will produce.

Found Still in Smokehonse

Greenville, February u.-(Special.) ) Sheriff Robert Harrison and several of his deputies captured a complete illicit still near Greenville early Saturday morn ing. The still was being operated by a negro named Lewis Glasgow. It was a perfect one in it's arrangements, being what he thought concealed in his smoke house. It was so arranged that it could be covered up by the floor. The negro is now in the Butler county jail, while the still is set up in the sheriff's office, bringing much amusement to the officials showing it to visitors.

WADE'S LETTER

J. A. Wade, commissioner of agri- culture, has issued the following:
 The middle of February is the usual time for planting early vegetables. The necessity for good early garden has never been so important as now. It is the quickest and best crop that can be grown and the only depend- able thing that will reduce the cost of living in the near future. A good garden will supply 40 per cent of liv- ing expenses and can be increased to 60 per cent by adding a good milch COW and 40 or 50 hens. In fact, such a combination provides for everything actually necessary for the living ex- cept bread, meat and clothing. Do not neglect to start early, prepare well

EssARY's TIP CONSIDERED

Essary declared that his information had been acquired in consequence of his knowledge of the situation and his power of deduction, and that his information had been dispensed for friendship. Thon- as Logan of the Washington Post, was questioned. He admitted that he had sent an editorial paragraph to the Wall Street Journal. When this admission was made the committee lifted it's head And then Logan explained that his paragraph was to the effect that there would be no peace message. He believed there would be none, he added, because Tumul- 4.. ll tc hnt off

Washington, February n.-(SpeciaI) How would the nation receive the verdict of the committee Investigating the Teak" if that verdict should make newspaper men the "goat?"
 If the committee, aware of the fact that clever Wall street gamblers fleeced the lambs of well nigh $60000,000, should hold a few Washington correspondents responsible, would the nation consider the work of the committee well done?
 The questions are regarded as pertinent for it is entirely within the range of probability that the committee, washing the feet of every public official, high and low, of every secretary, high and low, will round out it's service with an ex- planation that newspaper men sent tips to Wall street which resulted in the scandal.
 EMULATING OLD PONTIUS
 In this connection, it is recalled that Pontius Pilot, when urged against his will to turn over the Christ for crucfixion, instead of doing that which he knew he should do played politics to the extent of washing of his hands. Should the committee point out a correspondent and cry "Ecce, Homo" Washington, irrespec- tive of the action of other American cit ies, would necessarily smile. For it would appear that the committee, permit ting the fat and opulent beneficiaries en- tirely to escape. had contented itself with finding a goat and in comparison, quite a poverty stricken goat"
 The committee, proceeding on the theory that TO one in official life could possibly have permitted, directly or indirectly, news of the forthcoming peace note to reach Wall street, has relentlessly pur- sued a tip to the effect that newspaper men might have been guilty of violating condolences.
 THE FIRST ADMISSION
 They secured an admission from Albert Fox of the New York Sun that he told William w. Price of the Washington

REPORTER WITH MONEY

There he was grilled, and there he made clean bosom of the situation, even to the extent of permitting the in- quistorial board to probe into his do- nestle affairs. With great eclat, Lawyer Whipple sprung the sensation that short ly after the Teak" Price had deposited $1060 Price was compelled to explain that the money came from the sale of bond which he had purchased with savings four years previous The legal sleuth thirsty on a hot trail, demanded then to know how four years ago Price had made money enough to warrant him in buying bond
 And then the probers grilled Fred Es- sary of the Baltimore Sun. Essary ad- mitted that he had furnished certain in- formation to the brokerage firm with which is connected the brother of the President's wife

HIBBS AND MESSENGER

And then quite inadvertently another correspondent name was mentioned, William B. Hibbs, broker was on the stand. He declared that he had depended for big news tips on N. O. Messenger of the Washington Star. MT. Hibbs added that he had rewarded MT Messenger in a sum not exceeding $100 per month. MT Messenger later took the stand and ad- mitted his former relationship with the broker. But it was proved that he had mot served on the day of the Teak" because he notified MT. Hibbs that he did not believe a message regarding peace would be forthcoming.

The above is the case of the committee against the press. As a matter of fact, the committee has evidently lost sight of the fact that there is. very large per- centage of the population in no way con- nected with the corps of Washington cor respondents. It is believed, however. that the committee has finally agreed with the general public. The general public, it is indicated, has always held that Congress permitted itself to be led "snipe hunting" by the willy Thomas w.

 Building Now Completed

Fort Payne, February 11.-(Special.) Four hundred school children were made happy in Fort Payne when they were marched from the three churches used as school buildings since last fall, into their new s15,000 school build ing, which has just been completed. This new brick building has been re- gently erected upon most modern plans, and is one any town of larger population would be proud of. The heating system is one of the best and is proving very satisfactory. The building will accommodate the seven grades required before entering high school and has an auditorium with seating capacity of 750. A new piano for the music room has already been purchased and the seats for the audi torium ordered.
