10th street and Massachusetts, avenue,
several days ago.
Mrs. Thomas bought the spinach last
Friday. She was taken suddenly i'll
the next day and died Sunday. Her
physician gave ptomaine poisoning as
the cause of death and suggested on
the certificate filed with the health de-
partment that an analysis be made Of
the spinach eaten by Mrs. Thomas.
DIR. Fowler said an inspector was un-
able to obtain any more of the brand
at the store where Mrs. Thomas is
supposed to have made the purchase,
and there was none left at her home.
Mrs. Thomas was the wife OF Albert

RICHARD CARLE ID
 CLOSE THE SEASON
Theatre Management Has Done Its Part In Furnish
 ing Entertainment

l There is only one more scheduled show for the Jefferson theatre this 1 year.
 Richard Carle is to close theseason next week. MT. Carle always gets a i hearty welcome in Birmingham, as elsewhere. His. Spring Chicken" and other comedies he made famous have made theatrical history.
 Manager Douglas and Brown Parks have given Birmingham a passing fatY run of shows this year. and if once or twice the plays were not all their names led the public to believe, the management of the popular playhouse was as much disappointed as the pa- irons.
 But there were so many good plays and comedies presented that it is not hard to overlook the sprinkling of shows that did not come up to the mark.
 Birmingham was not the only suffer- CT in this respect The necessarily growing number of movie companies, and the enlargement of the old ones. with the companies freedom from trav- el, while drawing high pay. has so de- pleted the ranks of players In the older Term of playhouse entertainment that road companies are hard put to get satisfactory support for the leading parts, and hard put. too. to get leading men and women.
 There Is one thing the play-going public is devoutlv thankful for this year. and that is the grateful absence of the incessant New Yorkisms of the past decade. Hardly a song but dealt with New York; hardly stage setting, or line that did not fairly groan under the incessant and boresome repitition of New York; It may have been de- lightfully honey to the New York-bred players. but the public taste was cloyed with the unenoing repitition.
 As good as the ,closing season has been. 1t has been conspicuously marked ny the absence of stars of the first magnitude. Well known players have been here who were received with de- light and satisfaction. but the inner circle of celebrities has held aloof from Birmingham for a year or so.
 Altogether. the public has been satis- fled with the offerings of the winter of 1919-20 and after their summer pleasures are over will watch with ex- pectancy for the menu of the coming season.

SIX WINNERS OPEN AT TIE LYRIC TODAY
Mabel Normand in 'Up- stairs" Is Goldwyn Pic
 ture Feature

What Is being billed as "Six Winners opens at the Lyric theatre today "Frolics of Youth,' a tabloid musica comedy, being the headliner. Marteile who is called a second Julian Eltinge Paul, Levan and Miller, knockout aero bats; Holmes and Wells, man and maid in An Old Fashioned Bride" Earl and Sunshine (girls) in a comedy character presentation, To-day and Yesterday, p and Mabel Normand in her latest Goldwyn picture. "Upstairs," form the other five acts of the six number pro- gramme.
 Tn "Upstairs," Birmingham is promised the jazziest picture of Mabel Normand's career. Syncopated stunts from begin ming to end mark the unwinding of this celluloid story. Every inch of film is crowded with action and poor Mabel, who starts as hash slinger in the kitchen of swell hotel. winds up as the ragtime queen of a ragtime cabaret.
 Martelle, who has won high praise from eastern critics, Is said to be of just about the same calibre as Eltinge himself when 1t comes to female impersonation. As .'the Fascinating Widow, Martelle has won Iaurels everywhere he went.
 Holmes and Wells, in "An Old Fash toned Bride" present a song, dance and batter act that has been described as exceedingly clever. Fred Holmes and Lula Wells make a great combination, reviewers have said, and they are ex- pected to win the approval of the Lyric audiences.
 Earl and Sunshine, is novel little thing. The girl of the present and the girl of the past are represented in a unique manner, and Earl and Sunshine get all there Is out of their skit by their able acting.

UNFORTUNATE, IS ENGLISH VIEW OF
 DEFEAT OF TREATY
London Times Declares Rout of President Wilson Is Made Complete By
 Rejection of Pact
By Associated Press

London, March 22-The London Times. in long editorial on the reflection of the peace treaty by the United States Senate says that the Trout of President Wilson is for the time being complete" and expressed fear that the prospect of the treaty and League of Nations being the leading issue in the coming Ameri- can presidential campaign must be ac- cepted.
 "It is regrettable prospect for all the world, and particularly for ourselves,' ,'' says the Times. None the less we ad- here to the belief, which we share with Lord Grey, that the American people are unlikely in the long run to with draw their Influence in world affairs or small part in the League of Nations"
 Referring to the warning of it's Wash ington correspondent that England in the campaign will be denounced as the oppressor of Ireland, Persia, India and Egypt, and the supporter, together with France of the 'new imperialism the Times says: "We have gone through the same sort or storms before though this one promises to be exceptionally violent and they have not hurt us very much. !"
 It expresses the hope that fin view of the inflammatory state of the Ameri- car feelings during a campaign of months, British statesmen will refrain from repeating the extraordinary mis- cheviouS blunder which the prime minis ter committed in his latest references to the treaty and the league"
 Speaking of the rejection of the treaty by the United States Senate, the Daily Chronicle says:
 Europe has suffered much from what has appeared to be the callousness Of the United States. For the satisfaction of President Wilson the negotiations were dangerously protracted. the terms materially altered. But the very high handedness which produced these effects in Europe has estranged his compatriots and converted an international issue into a domestic quarrel. It is anyhow good thing that some decision, even an ad- verse one, has been reached for the continuance of the debates served only to engender i'll feeling against this coun- try and the allies.
 'We must make the best of an un- fortunate issue. If America can offer no immediate help in reconstruction, we shall never cease to be grateful for the help in the war, while we have the satis- faction of knowing that the rejection of the treaty was not due to i'll will to- wards Europe"

DIR. DILLARD SPEAKS ON
 JNTERCHURCH MOVEMENT

How southern BaptStS WOfk to- gether and why they have not gone 1 into the interchurch movement was the topic of an interesting sermon,
 preached yesterday morning by pr James F. billiard at the Southside Baptist Church.
 Dr. billiard said in part There are two principles that contend for su- premacy; the principle of authority and the principle of freedom. The one
 may be called the imperial principle; the other the voluntary principle. The first is seen in the political world where on man or one class seeks to dominate others: among the savages, the tribal chief is the man of physical might. the word king originally mean. the man who can,' This imperalistic principle found expression in the doc Urine of the divine right of the king; later the divine right of a ruling class later still the divine right of an au- thoratative church.
 'The principle of freedom is the American principle. It declares that governments derive their just power from the consent of the governed. It means freedom of speech, press, indus try, education and religion. The Ro- man Catholic Church stands at one ex- treme as the expression of the prin- ciple of authority; Baptist churches stand at the other extreme as the ex- pression of the principle of freedom.
 'Tn Baptist church. all services, all attendance, all contributions are ab- solutely voluntary. We recognise no assessments and will yield to no com pulsion except the compulsion of love. Among Baptists there are no orders in the ministry. no governing bodies. no courts of appeal. the individual church is supreme under Christ. Baptist churches associate together for mutual heipfulness. but there is no overlord- ship over the churches.
 Here then. Is the prime reason why Southern Baptists have not gone into the interehurch movement. In this organization there Is super commit tee and after the denominations them

BUILDING THE NEW CHURCH," SERMON BY DR. EDMONDC

Towards Jerusalem" was the topic of Dr. Henry M. Edmonds' sermon yester- day morning at Temple Emanu-El
 The text, He Steadfastly Set His Face Towards Jerusalem" was applied to the building of the new church
 Dr. Edmonds pointed out that the men who followed Jesus were still thinking of material Kingdom and did not have the mind of the Master He then made plea for his people to center their thoughts on the building of the true church, lone not built of gray brick, but of gray bones and red blood of souls filled with the mind of Jesus"
 "The mind of Jesus" said Dr. Edmonds. "can only be given by the spirit of God. And when that spirit comes, death be- comes life and winter becomes spring. You and I may be dead and desperate with the weight of sin, but when tho spirit of God breathes over us we will be alive and will follow Him."
 Tt has been said that if we 20 to the Country Club district our church will he only fashionable church I have mo- ticed that fashion and intellect do not necessarily go hand In hand. And if we go where our faces afe steadfastly set we will be mission to the rich The rich people are not the people who are rem dering the service that Is making this church possible. And we are going to be surprised at the SuDscrlDtlOnS or the DuSl- ness women. stenographers, school teach CTS and many poor people who have learned that life consistent not of the things which a man possesseth.
 Our church must stretch beyond the confines of Birmingham to the ends of the earth otherwise we cannot grow. Tho human mind after it has been touched by Jesus becomes world mind. Let us not be like the men who followed along with Jesus. While He was talking about the cross they were talking of themselves. asking for seats in His Kingdom, seeking their own gain and aggrandizement.
 Let us have the mind of Jesus Like Paul, let us be the bond slaves of Jesus Christ. Then will our social and business obligations be carried on in His name or not at all. Then will we have but one idea, one passion and one thought-to follow Jesus Then will be building the true church."
