"The people realize they have

will accept a delay il their present
self-goyernment is not taken away
from them. They will agree to f.

have made mess of national fl

They will accept Americans in
other departments where it is recog-
nized there is a lack of efficiency.
But the Jones law must be changed
materially or there will be trouble.
There is good feeling now to-

in large measure to the admins

FIRE AT RESIDENCE
Dr. Phillips Pays Tribute to Efficient
 Work of Bremen

The residence of Dr. J. H. Phillips, superintendent of the public schools, 2720 Twelfth avenue, north, was badly damaged by fire yesterday morning about 9:30 o'clock.

 T desire to express my deep appre- citation of the assistance offered by my neighbors and friends and my gratitude to the firemen of the Norwood station for their prompt and efficient work. The engine was at the residence be- fore the telephone call was completed. The men did a spendid work in check ing the spreading flames and by their careful handling of the hose prevent ed greater damage by water I con graduate the department on it's eff ciency."

ENJOYABLE BILL
 ATIYRIC THEATRE

The performances of Miss Leona La Mar, "The Girl With The Thousand Eyes" backed by four other splendid vaudeville attractions and the screen production, '"The Big Punch" make the bill for the first part of the week at the Lyric one of real enjoyment
 Miss LaMar continued to thrill her audiences by her really remarkable ex- hibition of mental telepathy. She an- swered the questions, verbal and mental, of many of the spectators yesterday aft ernoon and last night with an accuracy that was surprising to her questioners. It was announced after Miss LaMar's performance yesterday afternoon that a special performance has been arranged for Wednesday morning to which women only will be admitted.
 Roland and Devarney, booked as Beautiful Dancing Girls lived up to 1 the title of their act and for several l minutes amused the audience with their clever songs and dances.
 l Stewart and Mercer, aerial performers both delighted and thrilled their aud fences by their stunts on and off tho trapeze. .. l In "The Holdup Girl" clever little comedy skit, Jack Fulton and Alice Bur made a decided hit with their origina l songs.

THE SCOFFER" IS WHAT
 THE TITLE SUGGESTS

The general movie and dramatic pa
 tron and specially those who are also
 in the novel reading class know about
 what to expect when a play has a title
 such as The Scoffer'' at the Trianon
 this week. This Trianon attraction cer-
 tainly lives up to it's eloquent name in
 the chief character, who is most bitter
 scoffer full of hate, scorn and defiance,
 despising even the love which he feels involuntarily coming on for the giri heroine of the story.
 The scoffer Dr. Richards, whose role is taken by James Kirkwood, does not begin as such. It is the same old story, one woman proves false in his life and he forthwith holds all humanity respon- sble. At the beginning he is great idealist and a scientific doctor working for the good of the very humanity which he later despises.
 The doctor is shown at the opening of the story curing by psychotherapy q woman who is a complete nervous wreck. He goes at the case through hypnotism and' she is apparently cured. Then the story takes c,l another turn when hs marries the woman, she betrays his trust and he turns scoffer. After this things seem to hang on convincing him that God is more powerful than man and the picture and titles become of a moraliZing nature.

HOME ROBBED IN
 BROAD DAYLIGHT
Burglars Rob Residence of SoIon Jacobs-StoIen Prop
 erty Recovered

Three city detectives have been work ing practically night and day for the past 40 hours in an effort to round up A gang of burglars who, Sunday after noon between the hours of 2 and | o'clock while the family was away from home, robbed the residence of Solon Jacobs on Piedmont avenue of about s1- 200 worth of diamonds and watches anl two pistols.
 At a late hour last night one member of the alleged gang was in the city jail and police authorities had recovered practically every piece of jewelry which had been stolen from the residence.
 The robbery was reported to city de- tective headquarters shortly after O clock Sunday afternoon. George Hen orix, McCombs and Giles, detectives, started an investigation at once.
 They found that the burglars hal robbed the residence in broad daylight and had gained entrance by means of breaking the glass out of one of the din- ing room windows. Every room in the house had been ransaked. The burglars started with the dining room and after taking a good portion of the silverware they moved out into the hall and secured pistol and a cape
 Then they went upstairs and ran sacked all the bedrooms, opening trunk and several drawers with pass keys. Stick pins and rings were snatched from the drawers ana the cases were thrown to the floor.
 Five hours later city detectives had one suspect in Jail and yesterday morn, ing he is said to have confessed, which led to the recovery of the jewelry and it is believed will lead to the arrest of several other members of the gang.

"LIGHTNIN'" TO OPEN HERE ON THURSDAY

Winchell Smith, probably the most sue cessful of American playwrights because he has never written or staged a failure, directed the staging of the "Lightnin' production which John Golden will pre- sent at the Jefferson theatre for three nights, beginning Thursday, with Satur- day matinee.
 MT. Smith is said to possess the lucky touch." and glance at list of the plays in which he has been con cerned, either as author or director (which has meant the doctoring of a,i- ing manuscripts) would seem to bear out the statement. He is coauthor of Light min :, and Turn to the Right the two John Golden record-smashers, and he staged a third Golden hit, '"The Fir Year." which has been packing the L,t' tie theatre, New York, for severa months Other Winchell Smith hits have been "Brewster's Millions The For tune Hunter" Polly of the Circus. Officer 66s," "The New Henrietta" ane '.The Only Son.'
 Seats are now one sale for 'Lightnin'.

VARIETY KEYNOTE OF
 BILL AT LOEW'S BIJOJJ

Five acts of unusually good vaude- vile and an entertaining feature pie ture is the offering at Loew's Bijou for the first half of the week. Mercy, Senna and Dean in an act billed as Home, Sweet Home easily won first honors
 Their act consists of several songs, comedy talk. a few dances and some unique ukulele playing. Many of the songs have been heard before, but it is the original way they have of put ting them across the footlights that enabled them to win.
 Robert OConner and company in a crook comedy playet, 'Twenty-seven Hundred. contained many laughs and was entertaining from start to finish. The act has to do with newspaper reporter who Is trying to get the goods on "the men higher up," and the clever climax to the playlet is one of the big hits of the show.
 Melville and Stetson, musicians, made hit with the audience by their clever playing of several kinds of musical instruments. A bit of song and dance and some good whistling on the part of the male member of the act put their offerings over in flrst-c style.
 Sherlock Sisters and Clinton ap- peared in an offering of song and dance that was very acceptable. Miss Bussie's Toy Terriers in clever tricks closed the vaudeville bill.
 Earle Williams in The Purple Cipher" is the feature attraction. Two amusing comedies and the Loew's reel of current events completes the pro- gramme.

OTIS SKINNER IN
 "KISMET" AIT AICAZAR

Otis Skinner in his characterization of Hajj, the beggar, in "Ksmet, now at the Alcazar makes a character that stands out among those of all fiction or drama for a complete uniqueness of ap- peal. Hajj, the smiling rouge; Hajj, the lovable vagabond, and Hajj, dressed il, stolen finery with all of the grandi1o- quence and high condescension of d king, is character hard to surpass for strength and interesting purpose. Aside from all of this Hajj is shown also as most relentless enemy, pursu- ing until the death with never forgot ten vengeance for wrong and yet, as Otis Skinner, greatest among romantic actors, makes him, he never loses fer q moment his thoroughly lovable hold on the spectator. even in the very moment that he relentlessly stabs his enemy and his enemy's son.
 Though so far as the character appeal of the picture goes, Mir. Skinner is the central interest yet from a dramatic standpoint, Kismet' has most com polling love interest. A young Arabian caliph. hundreds of years ahead of his time, living in the midst of the harems of the men of his day, has only one love. The sensuous dancing and the inviting eyes of the paid dancers about the pal ace are not sufficient to draw one ex- preSSion of intereSt.
 He is on the eve of marrying her in the
 disguise of a man of the people when his wizar of police has her dragged to his
 harem This is simply part of the
 love theme; the entire plot abounds in
 1 such detail that it could not possibly be
 recounted in such limited space.
 ''Kismet," meaning "fate,' takes place
 | in Bagdad, the jewel city of the orient
 among the magnificent settings of roy
 atty and the humble ones of ancient pov
 | erty The Arabic scenes and settings
 l are wonderfully apt and picturesque, and
 I the characters themselves seem req
 enough to have suddenly come to life
 l from the ages past.

 The people of Birmingham ought to pay more attention to keeping their chimney, that could have been avoided There were some 2,s00 fires last year that were caused from the soot in the chimney, that could have been avoided if the chimney had been taken care or
 properly. The sparks fly, and especially with a shingle roof. it is apt to start fires without much help from the wind. Not only is the danger from fire im-
 minent, but the flue may be cracked and a later fire get in between the
 chimney and the floor, and long after it is believed to have been put out, 1t
 may blaze again.
