SCHUMANN-HE|NK
 GIVEN OVATION AT
 RECITAL YESTERDAY
Renowned Artist Sings Va ried Programme in Per feet Voice and Stirs En-
 thusiasm of Audience

Madame schumann- eifik had splen- did ovation at the Jefferson theatre yes- terday afternoon. She appeared in re- cital under the auspices of the CIVIC as scciation for the benefit of the Down. ing institute at Brewton.
 The distinguished artist not only con- tributed her talents to the educational cause named, but paid her own expenses and that of her accompanist, Frank La Forge, the piano composer.
 The house was packed, and if the the atre had been twice as large it would stiIi have been crowded and the proceeds would have been accordingly that mucn better. As it was, the box office re- ceipts amounted to approximately $S'W. The entertainment opened with felicl- tous address by Judge William F.: fort' When Madame Schumann- Heink ap- peared the audience rose to us rect as d mark of unusual respect. The great singer was in the best of form. Her voice was as fresh as It was in other years, when she sang here. Her yocalization is so perfect that if she were to appear in recital at the age of 70 or even SO her appeal to the music lovers would still be supreme.
  musicians here were discussing the mean ing of temperament and expressing sur nrise that the term, so much in vogue now was not defined mechanically in the dictionaries or encyclopedias, not even IT Groves, a prominent member of the fra ternity said: Temperament? cannot express the meaning in words, but the nearest I can come to definition IS 1T the one word, Schumann- Heink. She is thrnuQh. She sings classic arias and simple lullabies witt equal grace and beauty. m this supert artist we certainly have the embodimen Of the word temperament. And othel discriminating persons will doubtless agree with the musician quoted
 Madame Schumann-Heink gave va ried programme, opening as she did witf tho brilliant aria "Ah Rendimi,' ant closing with Aditti's Boiero song, full o difficult trills anl runs and lusciou: color Of the lighter and tenderer pieces when Two the Love Are Parted th' .'Indian Lo We Song and the Grade Song" by McFayden, were gems tha moved the audience to tears. And in pa trotic songs, Have You Seen Him 1T France?" Taps and When Pershing Men Go Marching Into Picardy," the ap each plause was tumultuous. The artis was most gracious and appreciative O th, plaudits of the audience from begin hing to end. MT. La Forge played tw' piano groups and was recalled with en thusasm after each
 After the programme was closed tn audience insisted on more, and Madam Schumann- Heink aroused the house t furore by singing in her most dramati style an American lyric, concluding witt f"rhe Star Spangled Banner in whicl every body joined.
 It was tone banquet long to be re memhered. w. R.

 T am not planning to remove o Bir- mngham," said Mir. Bankhead, when asked as to the truth of the reports.

Not only have all the plants run at full blast during the entire week, but
 yesterday new furnace was blown
 made by union leaders n few days ago
 thnt by the end of the week they
 would have every independent plant
 in the Birmingham district closed down.
 Among company officials of the dis trice the blowing in of this new fur nacs at Woodward is considered the
 best possible proof that the strike has been absolutely intellectual. They fur ther claim that no plant has been or
 will be crippled by a lack of men and
 that no difficulty has been experienced in filling the places of the compara- lively few men who walked out. Reports from Ensley. Fairfield and BeSsemer yesterday were to the effect tha9 already numbers of strikers were reporting back and making application for reinstatement Despite contrary | reports. the Birmingham Southern rail way denies that any machinists or ! blacksmiths have gone out and says | that so far as 1t is concerned there IS | no strike.
 l in spite or these aONeTSe COnQltiCNS, lthe labor leaders of the district con tinue optimistic and are still confident | of their ability to close everything. | They claim that all the men who quit
 are sttll out and that there is not ! the slightest intention of calling off | the strike.
 The mass meeting held at Ensley | last night was well attended, with Secretary Ingram and Organizers In-
 man and Heidt as the speakers. The l situation was reviewed by the speak l CTS and the statement made that the 1 union men who failed to obey the l strike order would lose their cards. The i other points in the strike zone was dis ] cussed and emphatic denial made that 1 the men who walked out Monday had l gone back to work. There were a few 1 men who had asked to be reinstated,
 said the speakers. but this was offset by 1 later additions to the ranks of the 1 strikers. One of the speakers declared | that the police were disappointed in 1 that the strikers had conducted them ! selves in orderly manner and had | kept within the law.
 l One development yesterday would l well satisfied with the situation. This l was statement by E. s. Ingram, sec l retary of the strike committee, who l issued a notice that union mem bersh ID | would be cancelled for all members of

Ii is hardly necessary to add that they got the measure passed.
 When seen al the city hall yesterday both commissioners seemed highly pleased at the result of their trip. Com missioner Brown stated that there was nothing to talk about. we just die
 what we set out to do, that is, secure the passage of a measure that will give some relief to Birmingham in it's finan
 cial troubles Having accomplished ed
 that we are back on the job
 Commissioner Taylor echoed MT
 Browns sentiments We had som'
 busy days down there but we succeeded
 in getting our measure passed and 1 is now up to the peopIe or Birmingham to say if they want to take advantaS' of the opportunity given them to i'm prove the financial condition of Bir mingham. In a little more than three months they will have chance to vot on the question and they will have onl, themselves to blame if they fail to vot' the increase, in taxation" When asked about the governors action in striking out the amendment which proposed t'
 have the board of education elected b, the people, he said: we took no par in that fight and I did not know of th' governors action until l read it in thu papers. We were down solely to worl for the tax increase measure and in cidentally to do what we could to de feat the utilities bill. But we wer' 1 hands off in everything else"
 Commissioner Hornady remained il Montgomery to see to it that the ta, 1 measure did not get side-tracked be l tween the house and the governor office.

the 24 affiliated unions who failed to respond to the strike call of the na- tional committed MT Ingram made the following statement:
 .sThis strike is a national move
 ment, called by orders of the na-
 tional committee. It was not the
 prerogative of the local unions ao
 call the strike and they cannot call
 ii off. The national committee
 will continue the strike in this dis
 trict until orders are issued from
 Pittsburgh which will he contrary
 to the orders under which are
 now striking.
 ssThe local committee is well
 pleased with local conditions, talk
 ing into consideration the fact
 that the members of some of the
 local unions arc laboring under
 misunderstanding and have not
 yet complied with the orders of
 the national committee. The local
 committee feels confident that the
 international union will annuI the
 cards of the members of the vnri-
 Ous organizations who do not
 comply with the rules and regu-
 lations of their International and
 national committee for organizing
 steel and iron workers"
 In all the district there were no lis orders of any kind. The strikers and the men at work seem to be on the most friendly terms and there have been no attempts to force the men tC stop work or to cause a cessation of work in the plants by any display ot violence. All of the meetings of the strikers have been most orderly and q no time has a serious disagreement been reported. Conditions are so quiet in the strike zone that number o1 the special policemen from Birmirg- ham have been recalled because It is felt that their presence is no longe, needed.
 Commissioner Taylor stated yester. day that he was more than satisfied with the situation. When | returned from Montgomery last night I had 6 conference with Chief Shirley of tn, police department and was highly pleased with the way he has handled the situation in Ensley. We have kat no troubles or disorders of any kint and one could never guess from tn, police records that a strike is taking place.
 have recalled 8 number of our men tC Birmingham, feeling that they ar, needed more in this part of the city This should not be taKen as an indioa tion of any tendency on our part tt relax our efforts to keep order in Ems ley. It simply means that we do no feel that all the men we have ha, there are still necessary. but we ar, prepared to rush them back at an, minute should any trouble start"
