appealed to their representatives that many of them gave it support, despite their democratic conviction that protec- tion is hateful. The Nstrategy of the re- publican party appeared to be twofold: to appease the farmers by putting the law into effect and promising to re-enact it 10 months later into permanent legisia- tion, and to lay the foundation for their complete tariff revision after March {, Another object they had in view was to make the farmers of the country and cer- tain democrats in Congress go on record as having favored protection when their own OK was gored.
 The bill went through the House rap idly, and the farmers. evidently believing that the millennium was come, celebrated extensively. When the measure came to the Senate it encountered the opposition of a great majority of democrats under their leader, Senator Underwood. It IS now opposed by Senator Penrose. Should it weather all the storms brewed ana brewing it would fail to receive executive approval, and it's friends are not in a sufficiently large majority to save il despite the veto.
 In the meanwhile the split on the part of the republican party in the Senate IS deply interesting. Senator Penrose is SC chagrined at the situation that he is par ticipating in the committee hearings de- spite the fact tha he is very i'll man.

PEARL WHITE AT RIALTO
 THIS WEEK IN TIGERS CIR"

There are few indeed who do not like the kind of story that forms the bass Of the picture, Tigers Cub" at the Rialto.
 narrative of virile men and vome,,-- red-blooded humans--living out lives ua- trammeied by conventions, out in the far reaches of civilization in Alaska, the picture covers a wide field of appeal. There is all of the excitement. romance and adventure in Tigers Cub" that could be crammed in five reels Wild, natural men, with unleashed passions, who throw aside all restraint are shown side by side with gentleness and love. all battling for the same motives-iova, women and wealth.
 Pearl White is the Tigers Cub daughter of a rough and unchivalrous man of the north. Unchivalrous though. is perhaps trfle too mild, for the tiger is veritable beast. The cub is a most appealing bit of femininity, and small wonder that strong men, worthy and otherwise. battle for the privilege of pos- sessng her. Miss White as the "cuo' gives one of the best performances that she has ever enacted; she is thoroughly at. Thomas Carrigan appears as the leading male support as David Summers. David seeks the cub in marriage, but the "tiger'' believes it one of his paran- tai rights to marry his ''cub' to one of his own choice. The winning of the girl with the general adventurous and TO- mantle spirit of the picture makes Tigers Cub" first-class attraction.

DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES" SPECTACULAR PICTURE

The plot and subject matter of Dead Men Tell No Tales" by E. w.
 Hornune, author of Rallies" pro- vided the popular writer of crime f'c- tion with excellent material for sen sational and enthralling novel of des- perate adventure and extraordinary Icriminal operations on the high seas The novel, in turn. gave Vitagraph an
 opportunity to produce an astonish-
 ingly impressive motion picture.
 Dead Men Tell No Tales" has been visuaiized by vitagraph as Tom Yer riss special production and is showing lat the Alcazar.
 Senor Joaquin Santos stands as a singular figure in the literature of crime. He possesses the imagination and daring of his buccaneer ances, tors, together with the cold, calcuiat> ing murderousness of the footpad who strikes down his victims in the dark.
 In his plot to loot the treasure ship, the Ladys Jermyn, of cases of Aus'ra l llian gold Santos planned to cause the death of all the passengers and crew because dead men tell no tales" He concealed this part of his fiendish scheme from John Rattray, howe -er knowing that the adventurous youna squire" would not willingly connive at wholesale murder.

ADJUSTMENTS By EsTELLE BETHEA HALE
FRITZ KREISLER
 TONIGHT, JEFFERSON

Modesty and unpretentiousnes characterize the great violinist, Fritz Kreisler, in everything that he ioes and says.
 While many of the worlds famous stars travel in private cars with 6 retinue of maids and attendants and others arrive with fanfare of truin : pets, Kreisler comes into a town with no herald, angels singing his arrival, but quietly steals in just like any ev- cry day person.
 Mr. Kreisler and his accompanist, Carl Lamson, will reach Birmin gham today at noon, accompanied by MT Spalding from the offices of c. J. Foley, manager, Boston.
 MT. Lamson, his accompanist, needs as he has accompanied MT. kreisler for the past many years hls art and his complete understanding of the great violinists playing making him unquestionably the most superb ac- companist MT. kreisler could secure.
 And MT. kreisler realizes this, and that is why he continues to enjoy lis association with MT. Lamson and feels that he is part and parcel of Lis great art.
 While the seat sale for the Fritz Kreisler concert is at it's height to- day, the probability is that he will get straight off the train and go to a 'movie.' That's what he does in nearly every place he plays in, for he movies" are one of his pet delights.

Penrose Faces Fight In Senate Over the Emergency Tariff Which May Prove Embar-

By HUGH W. ROBERTS
 Washington Bureau The Aps- Herals


 Washington, January 4-(Special 1.-The declared intention of Senator-elcet Thomas E. Watson of Georgia to intro duce a bill after March making Lib erty bonds legal tender which. as a re- suit of the Associated Press report Sun day, attracted considerable attention, is regarded as chimerical and impossible of success by Washington fnanciers.
 W. P. c. Harding, governor of the federal reserve board. expressed the opinion today that Congress would find ii impracticable to make actual money of a promissory note payable on fu- ture specified date.
 T would lot think" he added that Congress would enact MT. Watson's bill. The government agreed to redeem the bonds at a stated period. The money involved was lent by the people with that understanding, and it was never consid- ered possible, either by the government or the people that the bonds would be- come immediately redeemablc.'
 By others the public was reminded that the bonds were never intended for specu- lation purposes and despite their pres ent market value, were as good as gold As a future consideration

THOMAS MEIGHAN'S PICTURE
 AT STRAND IS COMEDY-DRAMA A

Conrad thought that the most terrible thing about his past was that there was so much of it. He felt iscenly each pass ing day that slipped by standing be- tween him and the golden days of youth. In Conrad in Quest of His YouSn.' at the Strand, Thomas Meighan appears as Conrad, a young-old bachelor who takes his age of about 3o very seriously and speaks to old men bent with time as linen of our age" Conrad gives house party at his old childhood home to re- fresh his youth. He also tries other remedies suggested by his faithful old servant. Finally he finds his youth in la love affair which has been all thar was wrong all the time. Conrad in Quest of His Youth is a very clever comedy drama, with the comedy perhaps in the foreground ard the greater attraction of the two clements.
