There are the usual distinctive Alabama songs, then some more or less dignified popular songs and some thoroughly jovial rags, some saxophone music, some stringed in- struments, some bottles, some rich jazz on the piano, some blackface mins- trel stunts, some close harmony quartet work and everything in fact except dull music. This sort is eternally barred from the Glee club programme. The programme is a pleasing one and has been tested out, so all can feel sure of an enjoyable evening.

BLACKFRIARS TO
 PRESENT PROGRAMME

The entertainment unit of the Church of the Advent, Mrs. o. L. Stephenson, chairman, and Mrs. Ned McDavid, vice chairman. are bringing the Black friars of the University of Alabama to the Jefferson theatre Wednesday evening, April 20.
 The Montgomery Advertiser says of their appearance in that city:
 "A full house greeted the Black friar players from the university at the Women's college last night in the final engagement of the club on its six day tour of south Alabama.
 The Blackfriars drew their usual large crowd and the college chapel was almost filled to capacity.
 "A series of unusually clever one act plays were presented, marking unique departure from the three-act evening drama formerly presented by the club
 The plays presented were The Man Upstairs The Constant Lover. Suppressed Desires and The Cure for Jealousy
 :" The Constant Lover, was a de- lightful little comedy between Alan Drennen and Wanda Detile and made "AS Oi NhC of6 66cSl HilS OI lDe g.
 Tn Suppressed Desires Louise Knudsen was given an opportunity to display her versatility.
 Sylvia Air, the Blue Belle of the Forest and 'Minnehaha, was excel lent, while Earl McGowin,. as Emil Sayarona, the cousin to Mount Yes uvius,' and Wanda Detle as Chere Antoinette, his wife, were equal suc- cesses. Russell Wright played the bell-hop.
 MT. Strode has been director of the Blackfriars for several years and has built it into what is probably the best known and most widely sought after college dramatic organization in the south.
 The opinion of the audiences here was that last nights performance was the best yet given by the Blackfriars ana whenever this club returns to Montgomery, 1t will be assured of a hearty response from the city"

Hylan Has Chance
To Buy Manhattan
Surface Car Lines
May Be Able to Test Bus
Theory When Craig
Offers $435, 900 Tax
Liens, for Sale Tuesday

If Mayor Hylan is still of the opin-
ion that the surface lines are obsolete
and should give way TO municipal
busses, he may have chance to re
alize his theory next Tuesday when
Comptroller Charles L. Craig will offer
for sale $435, 900 worth of tax liens
held by the city against virtually every
surface railroad in Manhattan for
areas in taxes. In making the an
nouncement of the sale yesterday the
Comptroller said that the city prob
ably would have to buy in the liens.
Heretofore such purchases by the
city have been cancelled and the
amount of taxes owed carried over for
another year. The Comptroller, how
ever, sa@ he was determined to get
the money this time. 1t would be pos
sible for the city to get control of the
surface lines in question by foreclos-
ing the lines. Such a course would
give Mayor Hylan an opportunity to
operate the lines municipality or tear
up the tracks and operate bussess over
the routes.
The lines against which the city
nOIQS mems are:
Eighth and Columbus avenue, Fulton
Street, Fort George, Blocker Street and
Fulton ferry, Central Park North and
East, Christopher and Tenth streets,
Dry Dock, East Broadway aud Bat
terry. Forty-second and Grand streets,
Forty Street. Manhattanville
and st. Nicholas Avenue, the Inter
borough Street Railway Company Kings
bridge Railroad Company, Metropolitan
Street Railway Company, New York
City Interborough Railroad Company,
Ninth Avenue, Second Avenue, Third
Avenue, Thirty-fourth Street, Union
Cortlandt Ferry street car line.
The tax liens against the railroads
are the accumulation of arrears for two
or three years. To Offset the city's
claims the companies, through Re
ceiver Job Z. Hedges, set up claims for
overpaid taxes by the surface compa
nies IN 1912 and 1918. The city was
compelled some time ago by writ of
mandamus to pay to Receiver Hedges
$288,246 of such refunds. It was
claimed at the time that the city also
owed an additional $123,640 in refunds
for overpayment of taxes by some of
the companies which were formerly in
the receivership, including the Fourth,
Sixth, Eighth and Ninth Avenue lines,
the New York and Harlem and the
Christopher and Tenth Street Line.
1t was announced at the Comptrol-
ler's Office yesterday that Justice John
M. Tierney, of the Supreme Court, had
handed down a decision denying Re-
ceiver Hedges application for the ad-
dtSional S123,000. The Comptroller
hopes to turn the tables on the re-
ceiver by either compelling the roads
to pay the tax liens or foreclosing and
taking over the lines

" dILET NUHVECEcU OF MurUer
Joyce Found Guilty of Killing
Delicatessen Man

James Joyce, twenty-five years old,
who gave his home address as the
Brooklyn Y. NJ. c. A., was convicted
yesterday of murder in the first degree
by jury in the Queens County Court
before Judge Burt j. Humphrey. Joyce
was indicted for the killing on July
last of Adam Zittel, a delicatessen
keeper of 6o4 Broadway, Astoria.
Joyce, who was waiter in a restau-
rant at Jamaica, was arrested on July
81 by detectives from Brooklyn police
headquarters. The arrest was on an
other ground and it was not discovered
until later that Joyce was wanted for
the Zittel killing.
The man was tried twice. On his
first trial the jury disagreed. The
same evidence was given at, the trial
verdict of guilty after being out thir-
teen hours.
