OLD LAW INVOKED

Tn consequence of this conversion of large denominations to small. there are now outstanding only about s90. .e000OO of silver certificates of more than S5 Value, and conversions of large denominations to those of small denominations have become increasingly slower and more difficult As the demand continued and became more pressing. it became neces- sary for the Secretary to look to another source, and consequently he has invoked for the first time the provisions of the act of March 4 1907.
 The aggregate amount of United States notes outstanding is limited by law to s346, ,6S1 ,o1G and cannot be increased beyond that amount However, as the amount of United States notes of denominations of $10 and upward outstanding on January |, 1917, amounted to 02,445,S0O. it is evident that a considerable increase can be made in the number of s1 and g greenbacks outstanding by means of retirement and cancellation of notes of higher denomlna- tions.

JUSTICE" READ ID ALARGE AUDIENCE
 BY DR. s. H. CLARK
Galsworthy's Famous Play Is Vividly Presented at Tutwiler Under Auspices
 of the Drama League

Before starting the reading of Gals worth's famous Justice" at the Tut wiler last night, pr. S H. Clark eX- pressed the hope that at the conclusion of the reading. the audience would go away with feeling of revolt against the injustice of the machine which ground into nothingness the young law clerk, so well pictured in the play.
 When the final words had been spoken, NO one can touch him now; he is safe with gentle Jesus" there were many, perhaps, in the audience whose thoughts reverted to the intro ductory speech of the famous reader; there were just as many, perhaps, who realized with Dr. Clark that feeling of revolt.
 Even a mediocre reading could not take from Justice the interest and human touch which it creates. Need less to say. then. that when read by a person of the personality and ability of pr. Clark, the play portrays in a greater degree all that Galsworthy must have meant it to portray.
 The introductory speech of Dr. Clar k
 
 keen understanding and 8 receptive tendency for the presentation of the play. Through this speech the audi ence, composed of several hundred men and women. were enabled more clearly to appreciate the lines of the great play, and to get from them through the reading of Dr. Clark a full and comprehensive meaning
 The theme of the play is too well fn ure of the young law clerk, Falder, who through an untrammeled infatua- ton for woman leads him to an act which places him in the hands of the law is well known to all lovers of the drama.
 The later figure of the man, caged mentally and physically, and beating against the four walls of blighted hope is also familiar.
 The figure of Lilly. the woman, for whom Falder is dragged through the grinding machinery Of the law, stands prominently out in the mind of the lover of Galsworthy; but the figure of the former convict, who. having served two years in the prison, seeks work. and finds it not; the figure of the former convict, who, upon returning to the life that was once his, finds the woman he cared for, and for whom lie has suffered all beyond the pale of society; and the figure of the former convict, as he staggers from the stage and throws through an upper window a life which even the audience feels has no future; these figures, as they were painted last night by pr. Clark, are not familiar to every lover of the drama. The true Interpretation of Falder. as Galsworthy must have meant hlm to be. can only be gained through seeing him depicted by such a reader as Dr. Clark.
 The reading was presented under tine auspices of the Birmingh center of the Drama League of America. pr. Clark, who is professor of public speaking at the University of Chicago. was introduced by Dr. Thornwell 1ayhes' president of Birmingham col- lege. WINNIE FREEMAN.

CRAWFORD PERKINS
 VICTIM OF ACCIDENT
Little Boy Has Leg Broken When Knocked Down by a
 Motorcycle

distressing accident occurred yes- terday afternoon when Crawford Per kins, the little 5-year-old son of Mrs. Alma Wood Perkins. was knocked down by a motorcycle and sustained a broken leg and other injuries The accident took place in front of the family residence and the mother was witness to the accident. Mrs. Per kins had dressed the boy and was in- tending to take him to town, and while she was talking to her mother, Mrs. w. N. Wood. the little fellow ran across the street to greet some play mates. As his mother came down the steps he ran to meet her when the motorcycle ran him down and inflicted serious injuries.
 Neither the boy nor his mother sa " the motorcycle until it was too late, but there seems to be no blame at tached to the driver of the motorcycle, from the statements of aMrs. Perkins and the other witnesses. His name has not been divulged. The driver assisted in carrying the boy to the house and rendered every assistance within his power to help the little sufferer
 Dr. E. W. Gray, Dr. C. E. Tedder and pr. Fred Mcdonald responded to the call and on examination found the boys right leg broken in two places, his head and body bruised and other injuries. The leg was set and at a late hour last night the boy was rest ing as well as could be expected.

This Is Made Necessary Due to the Demand for
 Small Bills
CURRENCY BASED ON
 SILVER UNAVAILABLE
Old Law Had to Be Invoked in Order to Give Country Smaller Denomi- nations of Paper Money
 Wanted

Washington, January 10.-A new issue of s1 and $2 greenbacks of civil war days, discontinued more than 90 years ago, will be put into circulation, probably about February 1, displacing similar United States notes of larger denominations to provide relief from the unprecedented de- mand for small paper money. The treas ury department announced tonight that the issue had been decided on because sil- yer certificates. the ordinary bills of N and s2 denominations, could not be issued under the law in sufficient quantity to meet the demand.
 A limit of $346, ,6S1, ,016 to the amount of outstanding federal notes was fixed by law in 1878 after the greenback had be- come an issue in politics, and had re- suited in the birth of a new national party, backed largely by the farmers of the west and south. No greenbacks have been issued since 1885, and the amount of outstanding $1 and S2 notes of that va riety now is slightly over $3,0oo,0O. There is. however, $102,445,3O0 outstanding in United States notes of $10 denomination and higher and portion of these will be retired and cancelled. dollar for dollar, to meet the new issue of small denomina- tiOns

 Colonel Crenshaw and Col. F.. H.

Why. that would be moro than 800 deaths since the troops went to Nogales," said Col onel Crenshaw.
 Colonel Crenshaw and Colonel Graves called on Governor Henderson Wednesday afternoon and discussed conditions with him. It is known that they reported that conditions were not as bad as had been reported and that many things had been greatly exag- gerated They left Wednesday night for Nogales.

SMALL PAPER MONEY NEEDED

The demand for paper currency of the smaller denominations,' said the depart ment's announcement, ''has always been regarded by the treasury as an index to business conditions. For many months there has been a constantly growing de- mand for $1 and g bills, until now it Is impossible to meet the country's needs in this respect by means of silver certifi- cates, which for more than 30 years have been the only form of paper currency is- sued in $1 and $2 denominations.
 ''As the supply of silver certificates is fixed by the number of silver dollars coined, such coinage having been discon- tinued in 1904, it is only possible to in crease the number of $1 and g silver cer- tificates outstanding by canceling cor responding number of silver certificates of larger denominations.

The opposite opinion is held by my colleagues, wno were unanimous in the idet that the
  noval of these scenes. am sustalhcu in my opinion by some Of the best movie critics in the city and even though I stood alone, l would stiil condemn the presentation of these scenes to the public indiscriminately. I am a great movie enthusiast ana believe that they exert a tremendous influence in the community. and l am determined to use all the power l pos sess to make them as useful in con- structing the moral fabric as possible and to eliminate everything as far as 1 possible that would work toward the destruction of the morals of this com munity.
 I I am sorry that my views are not ! ndorsed fully by my colleagues, but am not discouraged or deterred in my determination to do everything in my power to maintain a higher standard for the picture shows in Birmingham. I ARLIE BARBER.

 W. A. Crawford head of the local bureau of the Central News of America, which supplies news to Financial Amer ica, a Wall street publication, was the next witness.
 Crawford read a confidential message he said he had sent to his New York office on December 20, saying that a note was coming, but that according to Secretary Lansing, it was not a peace note, nor move for mediation.
 "The news was absolutely no leak in our service, nor from any of its clients, said Crawford.
 Representative Harrison said he had examined the Central News tapes for December 20. and had found nothing in- dicating that the confidence of Secretary Lansing had been violated
 Crawford read a statement declaring that Central News was not the only news service with financial papers among it's clients. and he thought it fair since 1t had been singled out in the in- quiry that this be known. The Interna- tiopal News service. he said, "he was reliably informed" served the Dow Jones company, and the Associated Press serv- ed the New York Journal Of Commerce.
 NO CHARGE MADE
 You don't think any of them vio- lated Secretary Lansing's confidence, do you?" asked Representative Bennett of New York
 ''Oh, mo-" Crawford replied
 Neither the United Press nor the Associated Press is connected with any ticket service, Is itT' Representative Harrison continued.
 ''No," Crawford replied.
 Representative Henry brought out that Central News had the privilege of a representative on the floor of the House
 Representative Chiperfeld asked Crawford if his firm in New York, in Beaver street, maintained a wireless station for the purpose of getting in formation. Crawford said there was a wireless station, but that he did not know to what extent it was used.
