CHOCOLATE SOLDIER
 DELIGHTS AUDIENCE
Many Features of Redpath Chautaqua, Including Car
 toons by Raemaekers

With the special scenery and special orchestra, the production of the "Choc- olate Soldier" masterpiece of oscar Strauss, and pronounced by many to be the greatest light opera of them all, at the Redpath Chautauqua last night was entirely success and was credita- bly rendered with the natural handicap of temporary staging accommodations IL was heartily enjoyed by the audience and well applauded.
 Several of the members of the origi- mai cast that played with this produc- ton during it's three-year run in the Casino theatre in New York, were pres ent, and the costumes were the same ones used during the first road trip.
 The afternoon programme was featured by the lecture, Tn Other Mems Shoos by Oney Fred Sweet, Chicago newspaper man, who has the distinction of having filled l25 jobs in the past three years, Much attention was attracted by the dis- play of Raenakers' cartoons. Products of this internationally famous pen artist are carried by The Age Herald rcgu- larly and present vivid descriptions of the war Mir. Raemaekers Is sending the drawings directly from the front, and can put a reality into them which is not to be gained elsewhere. The exhibit shown today was practically the same as that which is on display in the Library of Congfess.
 This afternoons programme consists of an exhibit of war posters of all the al- lied nations and a concert by the Chi cago orchestral band. Tonight Capt George r. Campbell, of the Royal flying corps, will lecture. on "A Soldier of the Sky" and "Circus Time in Fairy Land will be given under the direction of the children workers.

Gadsden. June s-(Special )-The case of Walter Washam, policeman of Ala bama City, who is charged with killing Private John Holmes, of Company l., 1i3th infantry, was called shortly after court convened at 10 o'clock this morn irg. The court room was packed to ca pacity by the crowd which was attracted by the trial. The state announced ready for trial at Il o'clock. while the defense asked for continuance on the ground that its witnesses were not present. The motion was overruled and attachments issued for the witnesses. The jury ve- nire was called shortly before noon and several names struck from the list as tho men did not believe in capital punish ment. The afternoon was occupied in striking the jury both the defense and the state contesting over all legal points. Maj. John Phillips Till. former United States district attorney of Maryland, now judge advocate of Camp Mcclellan, is assisting the state. Both sides are well represented with the legal talent of the district
 Gadsden citizens rubbed their eyes and looked again Saturday night when a band of 50 of the Ku-Klux Klan paraded the length of Broad street Where they came from, who they were or where they went still is a mystery. They bore banners inscribed Buy Liberty Bonds, v Subscribe to the Red Cross" Well hang together or we'll hang separately" One look was enough for one negro. "Lordy, boss.

 Interest in today's melee is at fever heat and speculation on the outcome is heard on every side. The friends of both aggregations are laying odds on their favorites which leaves the dopists ahso- lutely in the dark.
 Captain Estes waxed eloquent last night in discussing the prospects for a Rotarian victory: T am very much pleased to heart that Slim Schultz will work for the Indians. I pine for him. We are going to start our spitball artist, Nesbitt, on the mound, and I'll war rant you those Indians don't get over two hits off his delivery" Other "Rotes' were equally enthusiastic, Dan Dimmick declaring that 1t was a pipe" cincn. Sol Jacobs. business manager of the 'Rotes," seys he finds trouble in get ting any bets. and he made the rather bald statement that the Indians were bluffing.

By HUGH ". ROBERTS

washineton June 3.-(SpeciaL 1.-The Senafe will yield its prcrogative and it's fne1ination to talk excessively only with the greatest reluctance, if at all.
 This fact was firmly established this mornins when the Underwood resoiu- ton, nmiting each senator to one hour on bill and 20 minutes on each amendment. failed to secure immediate action.
 It was ordered "carried over," but will be brought to vote. Senator Underwood announced he would coh- tinue to present the proposition until it was finally disposed of.
 The senator, in a short address, spoke of the necessity of Congress disFos- ing of war measures as rapidly ros- sible.
 In effect, he argued that just as Congress had enacted measures for war purposes which at other times could not have secured passage, the Senate, for war purposes. could forego that deliberate and excessive consid- eration which it is wont to give every proposition.

ATLANTA MAN WAS
 WARNED IN TIME keiates How Plant Juice Helped Him of a Bad Case
 of Stomach Trouble

One Is not required to take Plant Juice. the new herbal stomach remedy, for weeks and months before they re- ceiye any benefit In order that sktp- tical folks may be convinced lmme- diately the formula is so constructed as to give almost instant relief. there by giving the sufferer the necessary confidence They will then continue the use of Plant Juice until they have fully recovered their health.
 To these skeptical individuals that want to be "shewn," the following signed testimonial from Mir. William J. Melee, a we'll known Atlanta man.. employed by the Georgia Railway and Power company, and who resides at No 573 Chestnut street. Atlanta, will be of interest. MT. McGee is a man of the highest integrity and veracity and his numerous friends will be glad to learn of his restoration to health. He said:
 T have been a sufferer from stom- ach trouble for a long time and have rever been able to find any medi- cine that gave me relief. My food fer mented and formed gas in my stom- ach. which caused heartburn and was very painful and caused me to be con- tinually belching the wind and gas. I became very nervous and at night was so restless that I could not sleep. always felt tired out and was badly rundown My food did me no gc nd and I had become discouraged of ever being any better. as I think I mad tried all the various medicines on the market. Finally I heard of Plant Juice and decided to try it. I can truly state that while I have only used Plant Juice for a short time I am feeling the best I have in years. and it has given me such wonderful relief. am no longer troubled with stomach trouble and can eat my food now and digest it perfectly. I am glad to rec ommend Plant Juice to anyone suf- fering from stomach trouble as I was.'
 A trial of Plant Juice is all that is required to convince the most skcpti- cal that it is the most wonderful cur ative of the age. It tones up the stomach and invigorates the whole body. instills new life and vigor and will make one feel like another per- son if suffering from stomach, livc', kidney or blood trouble. Every claim made for Plant Juice is backed up by testimonials of well known local people of standing in signed testi- monials.
 The Plant Juice Man is at Nortcn's Drug Store, corner Second avenue and Twentieth street. in Birmingham where he is daily meeting the local public and introducing and explaining the merits of Plant Juice. Free sa m ples given.-Adv.

 HARDWICK MAIN OPPONENT

The main opponent to the resoiu- ticr was Senator Hardwick of Geor- gia He took the position that in time of wa~ the Senate instead of hurrying, should be even more deliberative than in normal times. The Georgia senator has been the most conspicuous spokes- man in the upper branch against al ministration war measures, and it is possible that he foresaw in the adoI- tion of reasonable cioture danger lest his own diatribes be curtailed.
 It is probable that the Senate will endeavor to postpone a record vote for which Senator Underwood is insistent His resolution may be beaten, but It promises to be a thorn in the side of its adversaries for years to come.
 Senator Bankhead will support the resolution,

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York. June 3.-The weather map over Sunday was very good. the Texas rains being particularly pene- ficial Several other private condi- tion estimates appeared around. The market was steady, however, with Lar- ticuiar strength in the near positions and with much talk of the premium for better grades. This talk has material lily strengthened the old crop in the past week. It is well to consider part,cr- larly in view of these Texas rains. that we are not over 90 days from a liberal supply of better cotton from the new crop.
 In the early afternoon the market was steady, somewhat under Satur- days close News of a submarine off the Jersey coast was received with ca,mness, as the export situation IS already badly complicated
 The bureau condition report of the crop as of May 20 is to be issued to- morrow morning at II o'clock.

The La Petite Cabaret shows a remarkahle piece of manikin acting, the figures performing many of the possible and impossible feats attempted often with much less success by good red d-blooded actors Everything from a clog dance to an airplane trip and a bull fight is faithfully reproduced
 Billy Kinkaid, versatile Scotch come dian-juggler, presents some entirely new stunts. Besides juggling three 60-pound cannon balls and doing flip. he pro- ceeds to let the three balls race around his neck and body as if they were the lightest of padded baseballs: he catches them one by one on the back of his neck after flinging them for many feet in the air.
 The Columbia City Four, an excep- tionally clever male quartet presenting old songs in a new way. and the latest songs with not only tune. but snap All of the voices are good and the songs are well selected.
 Perkoff and Grey have a song and dance turn with new kink. The male member, as boob" comedian is a gloom, chaser with no stops. It is a continuous laugh with a big one at the end.
 Sullivan, Clark and company are seen in Drawing from Life in which they faithfully portray scene which is too often enacted in the everyday life of the world Combined with clever com edy moral is forcibiy displayed
 Virginia Pearson is seen at her best in the new World production, "The Fire Brand" a well staged photoplay. The Loew's current events are entirely new and present some talk of the minute'' subjects
