WILSON EXPECTED
TO ARRIVE may |
NEWS FROM PARIS INDICATES
PRESIDENT BELIEVES ALL
PROBLEMS IRONED OUT.

President Wilson will be back in
the White House May l.
" Direct word was received from
him to that effect by government Off
cials this week. The date, however,
lis tentative, depending upon the con-
dition that no unforeseen obstacles
arise at the peace conference to delay
his departure.
Administration leaders were jubi-
liant when the word was received.
They take it to mean that he has
<'ironed out" all the vexatious
wrinkles in the peace covenant and
that his mission abroad has been
achieved.
The message did not make plain
whether the president intends to
start back May l or to ARRIVE" on
that date. The latter Interpretation
is placed on the cablegram. If this
latter supposition is correct. 1t would
mean that President Wilson would
sail April 21, allowing 10 days for
the overseas trip.
While no word was received as to
an extra session, Democratic leaders
pointed out that he unQuestionably
would call an extra session ifhme-
diately upon his arrival. They fix the
date as May Is. The presidents pro-
gram now appears to be as follows:
Upon the reconvening of congress
in extra session he will submit the
peace treaty to the senate and person
ally recommend the immediate pass
age of the appropriation bills that
failed at, the last session becauEe of
yhe senate filibuster.
n If the league of nations as it final
is adopted meets with rebuff from
the senatorial round robin" group,
he will then go before the people and
a swing around the circle" make a
speaking tour that will take him from
coast to coast. In all likelihood for
mer President Taft will join him in
this effort.
II the opposition senators approve
the changes that seem certain to be
embodied in the league of nations
constitution as finally drawn, the
president will forego the speaking
tour and take a rest somewhere in

his power to speed up" passage OF

HART 'vET0ES PARTS
OF new BANK Law
ALSO DIsAPPROvEs BILL TO PER
NIT STATE TO DRILL GIL -.-
WELLS ON IT'S LAND.

Acting Governor L. F. Hart Tues-
day cleared up the remnants of leg
islation still lacking executive action.
He vetoed senate bill 152 wholly and
disapprOved sections 8. IL, IL and 13
of senate bill 1856. the new banking
act.
The sections disapproved repeal
the power of trust companies to in
vest in stocks on their own account,
prohibiting banks from increasing
book values of securities owned above
the actual cost. prohibits banks and
trust companies from investing in
stocks of other corporations and linn
iting bank investment In building,
with provision that real estate ac-
quired must be carried at purchase
value regardless of improvements.
The acting governor holds these
close restrictions superfluOus when
the legislature has provided for $5.-
000-a-year commissioner and ample
assistant examiners to prevent any
abuse Of existing regulations.
Senate bill 152 was vetoed as an
attempt to violate the compact with
the United States through which the
state acquired title to public land. It
empowers the state land commission
er to contract for a 30-year lease for
oil drilling on public land. an ar
rangement the acting governor char
acterizes as simply an evasion of the
requirement by reversing the terms
and calling 1t a contract.
The acting governor approved SEN
ate bill 213, the bill legalizing baker,
les established in Easements up to
January 80, 1919, and house bill 10,
the filiation act.
Both occupational license bills
house bill 200 licensing electricians,
and senate bill 3, licensing architects.
were filed without approval or dsap-
proval, and become laws without sig
nature. Constitutional objections had
been raised to these bills.
On withdrawal of Commissioner H.
o. Fishback's objection. the acting
governor reversed his previously
stated intention of vetoing senate bill
201 and also permits 1t to become a
law without signature. BY eliminat-
ing certain items 1t allows mutual
health and accident companies to ex-
ceed the statutory limit of 40 per cent
OF premium collections to be used for
operating expense.

"GREASED LIGHTNING"
 AT THE STRAND

Creased Lightning is the strand os- fering for the first half of this week. Charles Ray, the screens original far mer," is the star, and has added to thiS picture something of ''ginl5ism' that has not appeared in his other plays in kind.
 There has been no picture to Birming- ham this season in which the star has acted the role of rube' better than Ray has in "Grensed Lightning" It is good enough to say that his work of this sort is up to par.
 The story is one of rusty, quiet and shady village where superstttions and foggy ideas rule. Andy is the blacksmith bankers s. daughter, who, in Andys opin- ion, is the perfect girl Andy trades foT an old car which at first proves humiliat- ing, but which he makes into a racer. The expressions of the antiquated ideas of the old men, and their fears of any thing, new, are the chief source of humor, excepting the bashfulness of Ray, which always proves one of the best features Of his acting. In the midst of the races he is stopped to learn that the city dude, the latest addition to the village, has robbed the bank and left by automobile. Ray gives chase and wins, both the chase and the girl.
 It was while making this picture that Ray almost lost his fife It was fortu- nate that he did not, if he has another production as good as Creased Light ning' forthcoming.
 Hearst Pathe pictures and a Goodwin comedy finish out the Strands pro- gramme.

They produced laughs at will, and they were ably aid ed by a bevy of bewitching singing and dancing maidens. led by Thelma Fraley, a Birmingham girl, who made quite a hit with the large audience. Special scenery, pretty costumes and especially haunting music feature the entire per- formance,
 The photoplay offering was another de- cided feature of the bill Gladys Brock well appearing in the stellar role of Pitfalls of Big City, This is the story of the fight of woman of the under world to be honest.
 Bert Howard, a most personable young man, has new offering this season which he terms "A Little Artistic Non sense." He sings, dances and plays the piano, and incidentally he is the author of a number of popular melodies that he puts over quite effectively.
 Octave, a charming and beautiful wom- an who was blessed by nature with a rare thing, a double voice, and good ones at that, baritone and soprano, offers high class and popular melodies.
 Yule and Foster, in musical comedy bits, with some new ideas in the art of terpschore. and the Three Lees, eccen- tric jugglers and hat spinners, complete the enjoyable programme.

CASTING WARDS FEATURE
 AT LYRIC THEATRE

A more sensational act is seldom seen
 in vaudeville than that presented by the Casting Wards at the Lyric Monday eve ming. These thrilling entertainers bill themselves as American gymnasts and they so thrill the audience that the ap- plause is continuous.
 Another act that is deserving of the highest commendation is presented by the Pickfords. The male Pickford is a versatile performer and entertains in all kinds of comedy feats. He is assisted by very attractive young woman.
 The song portion of the programme is well taken care of by "The Girl From Milwaukee, and the comedy is in the hands of Helen Gleasan and Arthur Jar rett and James Thompson & Co. ''The Girl From Milwaukee" has an excellent voice and she presents an entertaining programme of song.
 Helen Gleason assisted by Arthur Jar rett, have a delightfully."- conceived com edy which they call ''Stateroom 19. :" Mental suggestion is the basis for the theme and the act is a delight and proves most pleasing comedy. Miss Gleason is a clever entertainer and Jarrett is most excellent support The story is of nervous woman on a trip across the ocean. She imagines all kinds of things and is unable to sleep. After an awful night she is calmly informed that the ship has never left port.
 James Thompson & Co.,, in "The Cam oufeurs," is blackface act with plenty of comedy.
 The International News pictures are one of the pleasing features of the pro- gramme.
