AS the history of Columbus is
necessarily contained in the lives and
deeds Of these earliest pioneers, it
NAV be deemed best to give short
sketch of the most prominent. They
are taken somewhat according to the
- r .La;,. .o+9la,,,a,,Y
Thomas Thomas, or Thomas Moore,
as some historians call him, is en-
titled to the honor Of being the first
settler in COLUMBUS. The hard feat
ures ana peculiar manners of that
rugged pioneer, Spirus Roach, were
the occasion of that Indian name,
Shuk-ha-tah Tdma-ha, or 0possum
Town. Silas M2Bee first suggested
the euphonius and historic name Col
umbus. He left the town at an early
date and settled on the bank of the
creek, which now bears his name.
Judge Thomas o. Sampson settled
In Columbus in 1913. In 1921 he was
the charter worshfpful master of Col
umbus lodge No. D. He was perhaps
the earliest Judge and clerk of the
Probate court of Ldwndes county. He
moved TO his farrh on the Military
road, thirteen miles from Columbus,
and died there. He had two daught-
ers. The elder married James Henry,
a citizen of Columbus. Mr.. Henry
built the cottage ON College street
known as the WonBelsdorff cottage.
His son, Robert Henry, was born there
and now lives in Pickens county, Ala,

 The storm of the meeting cen- tered about attorneys bills as one was presented from one attorney for approximately 5000, for ser vices to date in the case wherein the labor union secretary is charged with having failed 10 register un- der the Selective Service act.
 This, attorneys bill, in addition to the fact that messages had been sent to Ralph Pierce of Seattle to come to ketchikan to defend Saw yer. brought on the verbal clash which resulted in the latter saying, Well, I'll hand in my resignation right now, effective at tie next regular meeting ( Wednesday night)." ."z...---.... ....,=....

George Vanderveer, chief counsel for the I. w. w., come to ketchi- kan to defend Sawyer but as he could not be secured, Ralph Pierce was sent tor. Pierce is the Seattle attorney who represented a great number of alleged undesirable aliens in Seattle who were ordered deported during the war. He also represented the defendants in many I. W. w. and draft evasion cases in the Northwest.
 It is reported that when one of the members of the union on Sat urday night objected to the em- ployment of Pierce to defend Saw yer on a case in no way connected with the labor union organization, that the latter replied that he must come not only to defend this case, but also to defend other cases. :" This brought forth an inquiry as to whether a campaign of crime was contemplated that an attorney should be retained by the year to keep the perpetrators out of jail.

 During influenza epidemics spray the nose and throat several times a day with one part Wizard Oil and two parts water, using an atomizer. If you haven't an atomizer, gargle the throat and snuff the mixture up the nose. This treatment sets up an antiseptic wall of defense against "Flu" germs.
 Chest colds and sore throat lead to grip. Stop them at once with Wizard Oil before they can develop into dangerous influenza.
 Get it from druggists for soc. If not satisfied, return the bottle and get your money back. .5ura.U

Efficiency Wage Demanded
Jeanette Rankin Opposes, Mini
mum Scale for Women
Workers

WASHINGTON, Feb 14.-Repre-
sentative Jeanette Rankin, of Mon
tana, cclared herself for a wage scale
based on the value of work done rather
than on a minimum wage basis in a
speech last night before a meeting Of
women workers affiliated with the
Women's Trade Union League.
The meeting was to promote a
movement for better pay for women
workers. 1t was held under the auspices
Of the Central Labor Union. Women
workers intend to fight for the eight
hour day until all workers have OBJ
tanned it and then, according to some
of them, will begin working for a
sevcn-hour day.
"a living wage said Miss Rankin,
"should be more than an amount
simply sufficient to provide food and
clothing from day to day"
Other speakers on better pay for
women were Miss Mabel Gillepsie, of
the Massachusetts Minimum Wage
Board and Miss Agnes Nestor, presi-
dent Of the Chicago Women's Trade
Union League.

Drama
Revival Of CAS- You Like 1t"
BY Shakespearean PLAYHOUSE

A wistful quality pervades a Shake
spearean revival. The audience seems
to hover on the Threshold of illu-
sion hopefully waiting to be drawn in
while the performers welcome lacks
assurance with the pathetic conscious
ness of being out of fashion. Ycster-
days performance of "As You Like It."
given by the Shakespearean Playhouse
IN series Of matinees at the Plymouth
Theatre, established rather waver-
ing rapport between the audience that
came in out of Broadway and the For
est of Arden
The freshness which is the spirit of
"As You Like 1t" wells up again in this
per1ormance. This latest production of
the Shakespeare Playhouse moves with
fuency. There is a general level of
falr acting throughout that is very
satisfying. Howard Kyle's Jacques,
Charles Webster's Oliver and Henry
Hcrbert's Touchstone are fine portray
ais. Especially good was Allen Thomas
as the banished duke. Rosalind's
shrewd, audacious wit came strangely
from Elsie Mackaye's lips She has no
lack of grace, but there was no great
amount of humor in her characteriza-
ton. Madeleine Marshall played the
part of Celia with charming sense of
comedy values. Leonard Wiley made
Orlando seem n heavy youth
The performance will be repeated
this morning.

Nine. Barrientos Returns to
Metropolitan Opera House

The return of Nine. Maria Barrrien-
tos to Mr.. Gatti's forces at the Metro
politan Opera House was signalized
last night by the first performance
this season of "Rigoetto," the ap-
pearance of Mr.. Charles Ono longer
Carlo) Hackett in the character Of the
Duke and the presence Of an audi
ence which, helped by the atmospheric
conditions in the theatre, was almost
literally suffocating. There were no
new revelations in the quality of the
prima donna's voice or art. She was
as little spontaneous as ever and put
a check on the admiration which the
audience was obviously eager to pay
TO her voice and skill by the too OBJ
vlous preparation made for every tone,
pecullarity brought into particular
notice by the unusually deliberate
tempo of the air, "Caronome"
Mr.. Hackett in voice, style, pres
ence and action renewed the admirable
impression he made at his debut in
The Barber of Seville" Thoroughly
satisfying and impressive, as always,
was the Jester of Signor di Lucca. The
sudden indispositlon of Miss Perrin,
cast for the part of Maddalena, brought
into the performance the lovely voice
of Miss Braslau.

olution proposed by Mrs. Juliet Barrett

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-Colonel
Charles E. Lydecker, president of the
National Security League, appeared
to-day before the special House com
mittee investigating the leagues activi-
ties to explain letter he had written
to Chairman Johnson complaining that
league officials had been given no
opportunity to cross-examine hostile
witnesses He reiterated his assertion
that information regarding the hear
ing had been withheld and sharp
clashes with members of the committee
followed
The league greatly desires to be
able to rebut any hosvNe testimony
which might be given to the commit
tee" Colonel Lydecker said "When
an attempt was being made to distort
great patriotic movement on the part
Of thousands of loyal Americans into
a selfish organization inspired by ul-
terror motives league officials thought
they were entitled to the right to reply
fully to all charges"
Addressing Chairman Johnson, Colo
mel Lydeckcr said:

committee went to Chicago and you
did not mention the hearings, even
though you knew l wanted to know
about them"

the world | would have told" Mr..
Johnson replied "If you had known
the witnesses would have been able to
avoid being summoned"
If you are intimating l would have
cndeavored to keep the witnesses from
testifying, I think you are doing me
a great injustice" Colonel Lydecker
said.

man, however prejudced or however
strong his opinion might be, or however
exaggerated or obstinate his views,
would say of the plaintiffs acting.
Verdict Victory for Press
The verdict is regarded by publish
ors generally as a victory of high i'm
portance 20 freedom of the press. The
law which protects newspaper in such
case of dramatic criticism applies
with the same rigor to all criticism
upon matters Of public concern, such
as the acts Of public official or of a
candidate for office, the publication of
8 book or newspaper or a tradesman' S
advertisement of his wares; i'll ahort,
to the acts of all who come before the
public The practical result Of the case
is that so long as the criticism is con-
fined to the acts of an individual, with
out attacks upon his moral character
or professional integrity, the newspa-
per cannot be made to respond in dam
ages, no matter how strong the terms
Of censure may be, provided the critic
is not animated by actual malicious
purposes.
The plaintiffs attorney was David
May. The counsel for The Tribune were

Music
Afternoon and Evening
Concerts at Aeolian Hall

Miss Helen jeffrey, who had been
heard earlier in the season, and Mr..
Louis Grunberg, a newcomer, we be-
lieve, gave concerts of violin and piano
forte music respectively in Aeolian Hall
yesterday afternoon and evening. Miss
Jeffrey, with Mr. Francis Moore, began
her retical with Brahms sonata in D
minor, in which she displayed refined
taste, much intelligence and q lovely
quality of tone Her companion joined
with her in a thoroughly musicianly per-
formance Of the work. In the first and
last movement of Saint-Sacns's concerto
in B minor, the lady was somewhat
overweightcd technically, though she
showed sound understanding Of the work
and played the middle movement de-
hghtfully. Then followed the custom
airy group of short pieces in which were
listed two respectively entitled "Mel-
ancholy' and "Miniature' the former
by Samuel Gardner, the latter by Mr.
Moore.
Nh. Grunberg joins the numerous
ranks of local pianlsts, bringing with
him q sound technical, intellectual and
emotional equipment which found finer
expression in the theme and variations
of Beethoven's sonata op. l09 than in
the group OF original compositions en-
titled "Impressions,' which followed.
