"POM-POM," SAVAGE
 SHOW, AT JEFFERSON
Comic Operetta Will Be Presented Here Next Tuesday and Wednes-
 day, With Matinee

The war has quite reconcied the gen. eral public to the wearing of trousers by women. But sometimes before the exigencies of ammunition factories and other masculine occupations compelled the adoption of this male garb, Henry w. Savage, the acknowledged leader in the production of musical comedy novel, ties, had presented "Pom-Pom," which had for it's heroine a petite young French woman of whom it can be safely said pop ularized trousers. For whole season New York theatre goers adored little Pom Pom" and lavished outspoken praise upon her. In fact this light comic opera was the most talked of theatrica; entertainment during all of the season 1t was on view in America's@ capital. It now goes on tour with an especially chosen cast headed by Dorothy Webb and with all the scenic and costume and a typical Henry w. Savage chorus Pom Pom' will have it's first presentation here Tuesday and Wednes day and Wednesday matinee. The book is by Anne Caldwell, who is responsible for half a dozen musical comedy suc- cesses, possesses real story of love and intrigue, and the music is by that ac- knowledged master, pr. Hugo Felix of Paris The combination is generally ad
 mitted to be an unusually happy one and the label of success has been conspicu- ously pinned upon "Pom-Pom.'

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York. January 23.-Liverpool declined sharply before our opening this morning owing in part to the serious labor trouble, which was reported as quite widespread in Great Britain. The unsettlement brought about by these cables was increased here by gin- ner's report of 11,051 900 ginned to the middle of January, which was larger than had been expected. Our market broke badly and the trade buying. which appeared on the decline, was not sufficient to absorb the liquidation, particularly. from the south, so that the market closed weak, at the lowest prices of the day and the lowest prices reached since the early fall of 1917. Outside conditions are so unsettled that a revival of bull speculation is hardly to be expected, but these prices eseeh to us low enough for the time being
 We would particularly call your atten- tion to October. which sold today below 1S1ac. The buying in this delivery is absorption on the way down by foreign spinners who expect eventually sharp revival in the demand for cotton goods

NEGRO DETAINED BY
 THE REMOVAL OF HIS
 ARTIFICIAL LIMBS
Will Gilliand Charged With Theft From Person While Attending Social Function and Found
 Guilty by Jury

One of the points brought out in the evidence that resulted in the conviction of Will Gil1iand, negro, on charge of grand larceny, was his cork legs, or rather his detention by means of the removal of his artificial limbs. The case was tried in the criminal court be- fore Judge W. E. Fort. The defendant was specifically charged with steal ing $50 from the person of John Har- rison.
 out at the trial the two negroes att tended social function at the house of one of the colored elite at Bessemer. During the festivities Harrison missed his pocketbook containing the sum of $50. Harrison began a frantic search for his wallet and was told by one of the women attendants that Gilliand was the guilty party.
 Harrison accused Gilliand with thefn, who indignantly denied the allegation and started to leave the house. He was effectively prevented fro mtaking his departure, however, when Harrison forcibly removed his cork legs and called an officer and made the charge against him.
 The money was not found on Gill Hands person, but at the trial yester- day several witnesses testified positive ly to his having lifted the wallet from the pocket of Harrison, and he was found guilty by the jury He will be sentenced later.

burden on the Alabama committee this year. The states quota in 1918 was s4S,000,000 or an average of $20 for each of her 2,400,000 men, women and children. This year, if a quota is fixed at all it will be a much smaller sum, something nearer in keeping with the peoples financial ability.
 With over 400, ,000 War Savings Stamp owners now in the state as a nucleus it is believed that last years record of about $14,o0O,00o of War Savings sales will be largely exceeded this year, but State Director Crowder and his as- sistants will take no chances on fall- ing down. They plan to wage viz orous campaign from the start, and push it until the end of the year.
 They will undertake the education of the people along the lines of thrift and saving and at the same time impress upon them that the government needs the money to carry on it's departments.
 Every county in the state will be thoroughly organized with active and efficient chairmen of the mems and women's sections.

WANTS RAINBOW TO PARADE


 MT. Baker again expressed a strong wish that the Forty second (Rainbow) division. now with the American army on the Rhine, parade in Washington as representative of the entire country and the whole fighting army.
 Whether it will be possible to arrange for a complete divisional parade of the Twenty-seventh depends on many factors, it was said at the war department. In any case however a substantial portion of the division will be paraded before it disbands, Camp Upton having been se- 1ected as the dsmobilization point for the division with that end in view. MT. Baker announced that the men of the Twenty-seventh who have already re- turned, even those who have been mus tered out, would be given opportunity to march with their comrades. The sick and wounded will be carried in ambu- lances.
 The units of the Twenty seventh as- signed for return include both infantry and the artillery btigades as well AS the divisional trains. machine gun battalions and other organizations. They have an aggregate strength of more than 900 of- ficers and 25,dOo men out of a full di- yisional strength of about 27.5o0.
