FIELDS MINISTRIES
 AS GOOD AS EVER

If the shade of the late Al c. Field looks down from some other sphere of usefulness" and follows the for tunes of the organization which he made famous, no has reason to feel gratified by the show being present cd this season under Nls name. It Is fully up to the high standard main tained for many years by this vet eran, the most successful minstrel man of his time
 A big crowd, typical Al c. Field crowd, filled the Jefferson to over flowing last night and testified it's approval by laughter and applause at frequent intervals. There was q plentiful sprinkling of the "old fla miliar faces" in the company. There was the always resourceful and nin- hle- -witted Bert Swor, who bubbles over with wtticisms, as in days of yore. John Healy, whose Old Black Joe" is a classic, and who is him. self veteran of many winters with the Field organization, comedian whom it Is a delight to see and hear; Jimmy Cooper and Harry Shunk, both artists In burnt cork; the gifted Jack Richards, whose vocal selections never fail to win thunderous en- cores; Billy Church, who ranks close to MT. Richards as singer, and a number of others who have been coming to Birmingham for years.
 Unfortunately there were no pro- grammes to give all the names of those taking part in one of the best
 minstrel perfor niances seen here in several seasons.
 The first part was handsomely staged and was novel in conception, rdt xras idaa hainp- work e0 out in some unique costume and scenic effects, with dancing and other specialties which made 1t a combination of musical comedy and minstrelsy. The comedians, the vo- calists and the dancers set a merry pace for an hour, with MT. Swor, Mir. Cooper and MT. Shunk furnishing most of the fun, while Johnny Healy brought back memories of planta :
 tion times with his appearance as "Old Black Joe"
 It can truthfully be said that there were few dull spots in the perfNrm ance, the versatile MT, Swor ins his court room burlesque, and num- Der of song and dance specialties, we'll staged and presented by va rious members of the company, filled an evening that left nothing to be desired from the hungry minstrel de- voices who occupied every available seat, including the boxes. and hung over the back rails.
 The Field show will be at the Jefferson for the remainder of the week, giving matinee saturday afternoon. It is by long odds the best attraction of it's kind now be- fore the public and may be cheer | fully recommended as a tonic for ! tired minds" One can never see this /, company without recalling in a kind 1 ly way the man who piloted it about the country for more than So' years 1 leaving friends and acquaintances In nearly every town in America.

TRADE PROVISIONS
 ON FOREIGN FIRMS
 GUT FROM TAX BILL
Eleven Republican Senators Join Democratic Minority. Ending TWo-Day
 Fight
By Associated Pross

Washington october 20--After a two days fight the Senate voted to- day, s6 to 30, to strike from the tax revision bill House provisions de- fining foreign traders and foreign trade corporations. which, under other sections of the measure yet to be acted upon would be exempted from taxation on income received from sources outside of the United States
 Eleven republicans joined with the solid democratic minority in defeat ing the provisions. originally pro- posed by the treasury department. and vigorously defended by members of the Senate finance committee, Tn charge of the bill The republicans were: Borah, Idaho Copper, Kansas; Cummins. Iowa Harreld, Oklahoma; :; Kenyon, Iowa; LaFollette and Lem root, Wisconsin: Moses, New Hamp- shire; Nelson, Minnesota; Townsend, Michigan, and Willis, Ohio.
 Senator LaFollette led the fight against the provisions, and was sup ported by Senators Simmons of North Carolina, Hitchcock, Nebraska, and other democrats, and by Senator Townsend. Committee members con- tended that the exemptions proposed were necessary in order that Amer ican firms mi ght compete in foreign markets on an equal footing with foreign concerns, but Senator LaFol- Aette and other opponents contended that such exemptions were not granted.
 Senators Hitchcock and Simmons argued that the effect of the pro- posals would be to have companies knfy Frva N., and foreign banking business in such g way as to escape taxation on the vast bulk of their business abroad. Senator Simmons said he was afraid chat the bill was loaded up with ad- n1inistration amendments which, when we get to the bottom of them, will show that they afford undue and unjust exemptions"
 Edge Supports smoot
 During Senate discussion today an other senator. Edge, republican, New Jersey, came out in favor of the Smoot manufacturers sales tax. He announced the proposals to increase the maximum income tax rates from ahe committee figure of 32 per cent 10 30 per cent, declaring that this would hinder recovery from the ex- asting industrial stagnation.
 There Is nothing in this bill" ahe minority report declared, which will prevent the commission from exchanging the bonds of foreign government for any character of se- curity except the bonds of another foreign government"
 Estimating the total due from for eign governments at s11,000, 900. coo, the democratic members said that it was not wise policy to destroy absolutely the control of the legis- Iative branch of the government over this vast amount"
 The authority of the Secretary of Ahe Treasury to refund the foreign debts under existing statutes has never been questioned, the minority insisted. adding that ill its opinion 'the secretary should proceed under these laws" The report excepted in this regard debts due the United States Grain corporation, the Amer lean Relief administration and the war and navy departments, aggre- gating S700,0o0, 900. which, 1t was ad niitted, the secretary had no authority to refund.
