Mir. Gosden, "and with the forty odd people in the cast it is going to be one of the most brilliant affairs which has ever been given in this city, for nobody knows how to write a better play than Joe Bren. Also cant say too much about the wonder ful executive ability of Mrs. stotlar; she has planned everything beauti fully; she has selected the most talented people in Birmingham, and they are to be found in the Volunteer Relief associ ation-and I want to say just here, that few cities have ever visited have afforded better material to pick and choose from"
 Mrs. stotlar is so popular and SO well liked by every one that she is able to command her forces efficient ly, and when I arrived here the past week. all the preliminary measures had been perfected and It was easy to step right in and say Let's Go-and what's more-do It."
 "rell you something about the cast-well there's Jefferson Snow ball to be played by Albert Stern; Freddie Frizz has fallen to the lot of handsome Alan Drsnnen; you remember how everybody raved over Alan's talent last year when he played In The BlAekfriars' when Dr. Hudson Strode brought those clever folk up from the University to regale us with their interesting plays; and there's William H. Brantley, IT,, who Is to essay the role of Ferdinand Foster, while Percy Rosenberger will do the screamingly humorous part of Clarence Wildwaye, floor-walker. Percy Rosenberger has been seen frequently ing amateur affairs here and there is nobody who is any Slev- erer or more talented; in fact. if he wanted to stop selling trunks-any day he could get a job on the stage with Broadway musical comedy which would emblazon his name in electric lights-like Raymond Hitch cocks, Billy B. Vans or Sam Der nard's. This boy Percy Rosenberger is scream-and he is going to give people something to talk about and laugh about when he plays this floor walker fellow in Let's Go.'
 Sally snapp will be played by Miss Elise Sparrow. and two of the sea sons most charming brides, Mrs Leon c. Bradley tsusie Greene) and Mrs. Hugh Locke tMabel Plosser) are to have leading parts"
 MT. Gosden and Mrs. Stotlar are delighted with the details of the cast-and the splendid progress that is being made with the play which is not quite week off, if you please, and with Mrs. Shirley Harris clever ly assisting and Mrs. Arthur Adams, Jr.. playing the piano like an artist well. there's just going to be a real party. believe me, next Friday and Saturday, round at the Jeffer- son.
 In the choruses and the dancing and speciality stunts" there will be clever group of girls and boys who win take part. including; Helen Terrell, Mary Elizabeth. Caldwell. Elizabeth Adair, Mary Ida Wood, Carol MeCary. Lucille Smith, liar riet Smith, Virginia Hassinger- Eliza beth Wilson.

TUCSON, Jan. 3 - J. A. Potter.
plant superintendent for New Corne-

in Tucson or business and reports
favorably on the extensive expert
mental work that he is carrying on.
New uses for copper is the subject
of the research and experimental de-
partment OF the plant at the present
time and great progress has been
noted on the project to produce a
satisfu tory copper radiator for auto
mobiles
Although" says Mr.. Potter, .'ev-
erything points to ultimate success Of
the undertaking. it is not yet posi-
Bile to say whether the copper radia-
tor will be satisfactory or not" The
fact that the process for making cleo
trolitic ribbon and producing the COM
plete radiator from it is a wonderful
step forward is established. but as to
whether the radiator will be satisfac-
tory or not remains to be proven.
At the present time number of
these radiators are being used on
cars and the result noted. 1t is be-
lieved that IL this does work out il
will be the beginning Of an era Of
copper. II it is found that this metal
can be so utilized extensively COM

another said he arose at quarter Of

Last night one OF the farmers, be-
lieving all the rest were liars. got up

ROBERTS ooueTs MOTIVES
OF INDUSTRIAL CONFERENCE.

! Senator {. Nj. Roberts, state dem
ocratic leader whose home Is at Will.
cox. recently returned from Phoenix.
where he attended the meetings Of
the State Democratic Central c,nimit-
tee last week. as well as The Indus
trial Conference the week before.
Among other things affecting the
state. Senator Roberts, when asked
his attitude. and what he thought OF
the act OF President p. G. Salisbury.
OF the Industrial Conference. calling
on Governor Campbell for eonstitu-
tional convention. branded the act as
not expressive nor responsive to the
wish of members OF the Industrial
Congress, He said.
las one OF the callers and men,
bers OF the Industrial Conference, the
request of President Spilsbury calling
for constitutional convention sur
prises and astonishes me to think
that he has placed the Industrial Con-
gress as taking such an attitude as in
dictated in his letter to the governor
last week
We were in session during the or
ganization OF the Conference for two
days and President Salisbury was not
instructed. nor did anyone during the
session attempt to call for cons,;tu-
tionai convention. The subject. 10
my knowledge. never was preached.
and | doubt if il was ever put up to
the directors.
Il note even the secretary has not
signed the request OF the President
and regret very much that Mr.. Spills
bury has assumed the responsibility
to speak for some 800 members OF
the Congress, OF whom believe not
ten per cent would have countenanced
the consideration of a constitutional
convention at this time.
Il believe his action has overcome
to large extent the influence for
good that the Industrial Conference
accomplished. and | must add that
this is the first intimation / have
seen cropping out that the Congress
was organized for political purposes"
Mr.. Roberts also added that he be-
lieved the solution of Arizona's prob
lens does not depend on the amend.
ing of the constitution. which in itself
is a good organic act and We're it not
for the many fool laws now on Ari-
zona's statute books creating number
less commissions and fat Offices for
politicians. the state would not at
present be on the edge OF bankruptcy
He believes, he states, that a con
stitutional convention at this time
will do more to injure the state than
special session of the legislature,
the present plan OF the governor.
and that will be bad enough" he
added
Speaking of the results of the Dem (.
ocratic convention at Phoenix, Mr.. |
Roberts said
Il believe we have taken the right
course in calling for a united front
and cementing OF relations among the
Democrats OF the state. and our plan /,
adopted to endorse candidates for
each Office has put the fear of the !
Lord into the Republican ranks. Just
what effect it will have remains to be |
seen when election time draws near, |
but if carried out as planned nothing !
but good can result to the Democratic |
party and the salvation OF the state !
from the present system OF extrava.
gance and bankruptcy"
