they considered the Czecho- -Slovaks as
allies, and regarded interference in
their movements as an unfriendly act
prompted by Germany.
The foregoing dispatch, it seems prob.
able. was filed prior to an Associated
Press dispatch from Moscow on the
subject, dated Thursday, June 13. This
dispatch told of an interview there
with Foreign Minister Tchitcherin in
connection with the unfavorable reply
of the Bolshevik government to the re-
quest of the Emtente Allies to cease
military operations against the Czecho-
Slovaks.
The Russian governments unyieldins
position in the matter as shown by the
statement of NJ. Tchitcherin, is due to
the protests of the Siberian BolsheviM
against the movement Of the CZecho-
Slovaks toward Siberia. 1t was believed
in Siberia, it was stated, that the Czecho-
Slovaks are potential allies Of General
Semenoff, leader of the anti-Bo!shevik
forces in the East, and therefore dam

SAY DISPUTE OVER
HOGS CAUSED DEATH

Montgomery. March 24.-(Special.)
Relatives of Willis Brewer, who was
shot and killed by Charles Warner at
the Montgom cry Lowndes' county line
Sunday afternoon will attempt to
prove that Brewers death resulted
from a dispute over some hogs which
started several months ago instead of
by Warmers suspecting that he was
being assaulted. Warner is held by
Lowndes county authorities pending a
preliminary hearing.
Relatives of Warner contend that lie
was shooting frogs near Warmers
store and that he remembering the
old trouble, suspected that Brewer was
attempting to take his life when lie
passed nearby and that he fired IN
self defense. Brewers relatives Mon
day contended that this contention
was advanced by Warner in order to
protect himself and that other in
formation would be presented at the
tIial. Relatives of Warner asserted
at the coroner's inquest that Brewer
passed Warner and fired his pistol and
that this signal forced Warner to tire
his 20 rifle in defense of himself
Brewer was son of Col. Willis
Brewer. former member of Congress
from Alabama, and author of Brewers
history.

Through the medium Of Mrs. Bascom
super-jam. truly a marvellous product,
and a series of fortunate incidents, such

serves.
Admirably drawn types and the most
refreshing humor, blended with senti-
ment that never rings false-mother-love
and its redeeming qualities as exemplf-
fed in the person of Mrs Bascom-make
this play a most appealing drama. Joe
Bascom and his two erring friends are
clevely contrasted against the sort OF
people one meets in an eastern village

more intensely human, for all are depict

Gilly are trhee capable actors who make
their respective parts gripping from the
start. They are the dominant figures
of the play, although Mrs. Bascom IS
hardly less important to the plot. Mabel

MADAME ONELL| IN
BEAUT|F Ill CONCERT
Former Birmingham Singer
Warmly Greeted-Excel-

Again Tonight

A large audience greeted Madame
onelli and her excellent recital company
in delightful concert at the Tutwiler
last night, The charming prima donna
sang well when living here several years
ago, but having studied with maestros
abroad she is now recognized as one Of
the finest artists on the stage.
While Madame Onellis style is dis
tinctly operate she is equally at home
in classics, in ballads and in
all manner of little songs. Added
to the natural sweetness of her
voice, her temperament and perfect vo-
calization, youthful appearance and
grace of manner, make her an exception
ly attractive artist. Her friends, VINO
have kept themselves informed of her
professional triumphs, expected much
last night. but they were not dsappoint-
ed. 1t may be believed, indeed that
she surpassed all they had imagined
She was a revelation and but for her
announced rule to respond to no en-
cores, she would have been kept singing
long after the programme was con
cluded.
Assisting artists were Signor fhil'p
Sevasta, harp, and Malcolm May lllet'
piano. NIdudJ1c OliOiii t's"AAso
groups Of short pieces, beginning with
Haydn's soulful song, a universal IA
vcrite, MY Mother Bids Me Bind My
Hair" Her most ambitious number was
the Jewel Song" from Gounods
Faust" which was given with SIM
gularly fine effect and which aroused
the audience to the highest pitch o.
enthusiasm.
Mr.. Maynier capable both in ac-
ccmpanying and solo performance
played with technical brilliance man2
choice ompositions-many of them
novelties-and was cordially applaud
ed. He gave two groups. In the second
he substituted for nocturne by Cyril
Scctt, transcription of Kreislers
haunting Caprice Viennoes."
Signor Sevasto, the harpist, en-
HANGED in no small degree the musical
value of the entertainment. His Woll-
dcrful skill was remarked in all daz-
zling passages and his refinement and
poetic insight were readily in evil
dence in his romantic situations.
The concert was given under the
auspices of the Women's Christian
Temperance union. Another by the
same artists will be given tonight
with complete change of programme.
