GANZ POPULAR
 IN CALIFORNIA
Swiss Pianist Has BeenTak- ing Audiences By Storm on Coast; Local Woman Who
 Hears Him, Praises Work

Rudolph Gang, the Swiss pianist, who will appear in recital here next Monday evening in the opening fea- ture of the winter musical season, ar ranged by the Bisbee Musical Events club, has been taking California by storm, according to a telegram re- ceived here yesterday by Mrs. N. C.. Bledsoe from Manager Benymer, who is in charge of booking the Musical Events club attractions.
 Wildly enthusiastic audiences and equally enthusiastic press comments been greeting every appearance of the Swiss pianist, asoor0rng 70 Man ager Behymer's wire. Warm in praise of MT. Gang also is a letter received bp Mrs. Bledsoe yesterday from Mrs. Sam Frankenberg or the Musical Events club, who is now visiting on the coast. Mrs. F'rankenberg, who heard MT. Gang in a recent concert in California, writes that pacTons, nav,ng been held enthralled througnouc sHe concert, when the pianist played his last number, the audience was so overcome they were literally unable to keep their seats, springing to their feet in the stress of their emotion.
 Tickets can now be exchanged for reserved seats for the concert here Monday evening.

START TAKING EVIDENCE IN
 MOON TRIAL

Following the selection of the jury, which required all of Wednesday and the greater part of the morning ses- sion yesterday, introduction of evi- dence was begun in the case of Charles "Chet' Moon, charged with rObbing the safe of the Treau market in this city on the night of Septem- Der 6, this year. F. J. Flannigan, conducting the case for the state, an- nounced that the prosecution would endeavor to prove by scientific deduc- tion and circumstantial evidence that the defendant was guilty. The most important evidence ili e-e hands of which were left ou the cash register by the burglar who robbed the place. According to the affidavfts of finger print experts these tally identically with those of Moon. No two finger prints have ever been identical, eX- perts say, and it is upon this evidence that the prosecution bases it's strong est claim for conviction.
 The first witness on the stand was Sheriff Mcdonald, who gave prelim- mary testimony regarding the cor rectness of the charts and maps which were offered as exhibits by the prosecution. He was followed by John Treau, who corroborated the sheriff's testimony.
 During the afternoon session sev- eral other witnesses were examined, including clerks of the store, the the night watchman, who testified to having found the back door open at about 1:30 in the morning, and the subsequent discovery of the robbery, and several other Bisbee men who said that they saw the defendant in the vicinity of the Treau s-c-c Icw hours previous to the robbery.
 During the session yesterday a marble slab in a glass case was offer ed as exhibit A, upon which the finger prints of two hands had been pre- served by the local police, and upon which the prosecution almost com pletely bases it's claim for conviction.
 The following finger print experts will be used during the trial:
 O.. E. Heinrich, finger-print and handwriting expert of the bureau of criminal identification of Sacramento, San Francisco and Berkeley; Detec- tive jewell of the criminal bureau of San Francisco; Detective Sancers of the Hos Angeles criminal bureau, and Edward A. Evans, of Chicago, of the Illinois bureau of criminal identifica- tion.

THE COURSE OF TRUE LOVE

From the Omaha News.
 William Erath called on his sweetheart Friday night, but minute afterefathe- came home he was outside. his hat coat and trouses were in bits everywhere and he was suffering from broken knee. The following story was told to Police Cap tain Vanous by the father Louis l.. Raber q noticed the dimly lighted par Tor when I got home last night and I stuck my head in to see who was there. It was my daughter and man, who leaped from his chair and went by me like a shot when he saw me. We both made a grab for his hat. which hung on the hall tree. and the hat parted in two pieces. then grabbed him by the coat collar and the coat parted. leaving a half of it In my hands. Mrs. Raber tripped him, and I bounced upon him and tried to hold him by the trousers. but again fate was against me, the trousers tore and peeled off like banana skin. He escaped in his B. V. D.'s and tum- bled down the steps, I don't know. what was the matter with this boy. Just buck fever, I guess I wouldn't have hurt him. I just wanted to sec who he was.''

Did you ever watch crowd Of happy children as they played the old. familiar game, London bridge is falling down?"
 If you have. no doubt you have often been reminded of the old Mother Goose rhyme with its quaint words ss you crossed over Birmingham's ancient landmark, the well-cussed Twenty y-sec- ond street bridge.
 Yet some of the old-timers remem- Der that It's completion marked an epoch In the city's growth, and for years it stood as a monument to Bir- mingham's enterprise, in linking to- gether the Northside and the South side.
 The great metropolis of England has It's London bridge, famous in story. Paris has its Pont de Ia Concorde, from the ruins of the Bastile. Venice has her Bridge of Sighs," but Bir- mingham has her dearly beloved and imperishable Twenty-second street bridge, erected out of wood.
 Daily you cross it in fear and trem- bling that it, like the London bridge, is falling down, but for your comfort at the risk of exposing the age of my good friend. Richard F. Johnston of the Ledger, through whose influence got into the newspaper game, will give a bit of his early history in the city which he has seen grow out of it's village stage.
 Now, about 80 years ago, Dick land- ed here from Montgomery where, tired of being a private tutor, he decided not to be 8 pedagogue and follow in the distinguished path of his scholarly father, Richard Malcolm Johnston, or even initiate him in his excursions into pure literature, but to enter the more active field of Journalism
 He tackled General Rhodes for a place and landed job as a cub re- porter. The livest thing in newspaper dom upon his entry was the mooted question as to the safety of the Twenty-second street bridge, and his first assignment was to go and stand under it for an hour and see if the traffic caused it to wobble to the cx-

THE OLD STORY

'Ill just go down to Florida
 And stroll round in the sun. I'll quit this land of snow and ice
 And have 8 little fun. I'll take roll of bills along. As other spenders do, And show those Palm Beach millionaires
 A certain thing or two" Thus spoke a tiller of the soil,
 In Kansas was his home: Who, with a store of worlcv goods,
 Was well prepared to roam. And so he went to Florida
 And tarried for a while. And mingled with the gladstone throns And lived in lavish style Now what could be more natural
 But he should chance to meet Some other wealthy, polished men
 Who knew 9 way to beat The "bookies" out of hefty sums?
 If he'd put up the tin Because they thought lot of him
 They'd gladly let him in. They tapped the wires-a hoary trick And goodly wagers won; The farmer blithely took his share
 Nor cared how it was done. Next day his kind friends told him how A Killing they could make; A c!nch. they simply couldn't lose Would he put up the stake? Of course he would, the strangers took
 His bankroll with smile: 'Tis shameful how bold swindlers do Such innocence beguile. He waited days he waited weeks,
 His friends no more were seen;

farmers of this state were never so prosperous as they are at the present time; and not only so, but education is more appreciated by the average young man, both on the farm and ip the city, than it was in other years. Every bright and aspiring youth yearns for knowledge, realizing as he does that the more he knows of science
 2 and textbooks of technical character the better equipped he will be for the battle of life.
 If the colleges have been handi- capped during the past year or two the term beginning next fall should mark a great turning point in the progress of the higher education. In the meanwhile every boy of college age who missed enrolment last Sep tember and who is financially able to do so now should embrace the oppor- tunity.

Should Receive a
 Few Months Pay

l ~ ONGRESS should vote few IS months pay to the soldiers be. ling mustered out of service.
 Many of those returning to civilian life are well-to-do and, therefore, need Inc financial assistance. All that the majority of them ask is employment, and this they will find in the course of time. But some are penniless. If the old saying that republics are lungrateful be true in most cases 1t should not be so when it comes to the men who were ready to sacrifice their Hives for country and the cause of freedom.
 The patriotic sentiment of the
 American people is surely on the side of the soldier, and Congress will make
 no mistake if it provides three or four
 months pay for the brave fellows who are laying aside their military
 apparel. It will make a mistake if it fails to do so. Those who are without funds would feel grateful and those
 who are not in need would appreciate the act as a token of Uncle Sans lk;rdlv consideration for their servi es

Letter from Former Butler

Letter from Former Butler A well known Birmingham lady has re- ceived the following from her former butler who is now in the service:
 Company r. s66th Infantry, Camp Dodge, Iowa.
 Beloved Mistress: Today I received the most beneficial gift that you sent me, for which I now endeavor to thank you, but at0his time it seems impossible for ords to express my gratitude. I am well and getting along fine as anyone could expect. 1 do hope the same to you.
 "My mind was referred to your for mer hospitality to me when looked upon the present. Your kindness will never be forgotten and I will never forget your sweet children. Dear Mistress. this Is the most refrigerate climate that 1 ever witnessed; snow is now about eight inches deep.
 Please take care of my dear wife, as I help take care of this country; for I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me Phil. 4:1S.' This IS my motto.
 Give my love to all. Tell your be- loved one that his hospitality to me will never be forgotten, which has made my life a pleasure and fit to live while being with him. Your honorable servant"

OUR 22d STREET BRIDGE-By Frank Willis Barnett

CTS ought to have more pride in their open air wooden structure, for it's the best ventilated bridge I know of in the whole country. Please tell me whore you can get a smoke bath any whore else with such easel The cracks also permit the passing engines to belch up clouds of cinders. I do not think, however. that 1t Is true that my friend. George Blinn, and the other laundrymen arc in cahoot with the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company.
 Speaking of tho latter much abused public service corporation, went to see the diplomatic MT. Pevear to ask if he could tell mo just how much mon ey his company had spent on the Twenty-second street bridge since it's erection. He politely called for the information, but was informed that tho fire awhile back had destroyed all rec ords of tho engineering department, and that as a matter of fact no sep arate account was kept with the cost ly structure.
 Now, if there is anything I like 1t Is facts. and was hot on a trail. believe that if they had been obtain able could have shown beyond any question whatsoever that our Twenty second street bridge had cost as much if not moro than Brooklyn bridge In the way of upkeep since 1t was built I was getting interested in the way it just eats up money. But as the figures arc unobtainable I will just make rough guess and say that since it was built the street car company has sunk half million dollars on it.
 Now. far be 1t from mo to mako fun of 1t. for I consider 1t one of the best bridges ever constructed. It outwore the Twenty-flrst street bridge, buiiy of cement and steel. although tho late ter carried no street car traffic, whixs it has in years gone by borne pedes- trians. bicyclistA buggies. carriasev, wagons. automobiles, trucks. street cars and even Groom Bsatty's bussas.
 So if yeu arc a sport and want to stand by thing which has upheld Birmingham for moro than 25 years, just take off your hat tho next time you cross it and say, Here is hoping you will last out the century"
