190 MOVING PERMITS FILED ON FIRST DAY
Law Requires Notice Given Of All
 Removals In City

Official reports of the moving of 1s0 families in Birmingham, Monday, were received and tabulated by Mrs Mabel F. Leake, secretary of the Bir- mingham Furniture Dealers asocia- tion. Mrs. Leake says this only in- dicates a partial number of remov- als for some of the reports are yet to be filed others will do their nov ing Tuesday and Wednesday and it will be several days before the of ficial tabulation Is completed.
 Birmingham has an ordinance which makes 1t compulsory for all transfer agencies handling the household goods of a person or fam fly In removing from property with in the city to make official report. the day of the removal, at the city hall. There the reports are avail able to those interested. The furni- ture dealers, for several reasons, keep a record of the reports.
 Last year and for the past several years, the total number of reports has been in the neighborhood of 250.
 Monday Mrs, Deake was in receipt of a request from the Retail Furni- ture Dealers association of California with Headquarters in Los Angeles, for copies of the Birmingham ordi- nance and other data appertaining to ths carrying out of the law. The Retail Furniture Dealers association of Birmingham now has its head quarters in the R. B. Broyles furni- ture store.
 It was estimated that at least two- thirds of the removals to new homes had been completed by Monday eve ming. Transfer men report having adequate facilities for handling the business, and now that the rush Is over the work will be more easily done. All concerned have been hap py over the sort of weather granted the moving season, for Monday went without a drop of rain, though a thunder storm threatened in the tate afternoon.
 Indications are that Wednesday will see the finish of the work.

ADJUSTMENTS
AT THE JEFFERSON.

Barney Google" at the Jefferson for this week is an alleged musical comedy, so perhaps a tip on form might not be amiss. To enjoy an evening when you have tickets for Barney Google" leave at the end of the first half and take in a good movie. The writer tried this plan and struck a bonanza at the Strand in strangers of the Night" an un- usually good feature film. The ma jority of the good words In this re- view would be devoted to the Strand their comparative merits. But as this is supposed to be a guide on the Jefferson offering, it will draw the full fire.
 Spark Plug (Bill Fables and Gene Mayer) is the star of the perform ance-at least In the first act, be- cause he doesn't do anything except manipulate his feet and body about the stage. Song hits of the show are good, with favorable reception possible with better company.
 Strangely reminiscent of the old days of burlesque, Barney Google" is a hodge -podge of weak vaudeville cracks with a foundation of passable lyrics. Ensemble numbers are luke warm, costumes and girls deserving 8 an equal share of the blame.
 
 Mary, is well the star of the show. She has pretty features and her voice is much better than any placed on display by other members of the cast. Johnnie Morris, as larney Google, Belle Belmont, as Mrs. Goo gle, and other principals cannot be discussed too much because unkind things would have to be said about them.
 My Lady and Me" sung by Billy Rreigh, (Johnny Baker, who is men tioned merely because he was incdud- ed in this number with Mary), was the song hit of the first act. Miss Richards received the warmest ap- plause of the evening for her rendi- tion of this song.
 Those patrons of the Jefferson who wish to take chance on the second act being good must take that risk, but if they will take a tip from the writer, the movie route Is much the best. Loews and the Lyric might we'll come in for attention in case some lack courage to essay staying through the first act. The show is i'll mounted on the whole. Leo Ca- rillo will be here next week, though, to relieve the tension and afford a most enjoyable evening.-H. W. s.
 AT THE LYRIC
 Patrons of the Lyric Monday night found 1t hard to decide between the last two acts presented, which one was the most appealing, when as a matter of fact they are both what might ordinarily be termed as good" which word has variety of meanings, in Its application to a vaudeville show.
 Persons who prefer a musical of fering find little of interest in a dance number, while those who like vocal, would be only slightly inter- ested in either the dance or the music, all of which is illustrative of the fact that no vaudeville show pleases in it's entirety. The one at the Lyric for the first half of this week probably comes as near that goal as any presented in some time.

DECREASE IN HoMuCIDEs

No homicides have been reported m Jefferson county for the past three Sundays, a condition rnequaled be- fore in many months, which will mean that homicide figures will show a decided decrease for September, ac- cording to announcement Monday by Coroner J. D. Russum. Automobile accidents and deaths resulting there from probably will show & slight in- crease, the coroner stated.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-10-02

None of the acts are exceptional which Is to say the Lyric has pre- scented better, and many not near so good. It's show which offers full value for the money paid, and is sure to please in one or more of it's acts.
 May Mckay and Sisters, termed "Three Likable Lassles," open with a Scotch bagpipe number. Persons who prefer music will like the act.
 To those humorously inclined, Jud- son Cole will surely bring a laugh. Assisted by his audience, "Jud" gets his act over in good style. though he's as serious about it as possible.
 Fred Jarvis and Freddie Harrison in Lonesome" likewise will appeal to their particular following. To the critic, their act was below the stand ard of the balance of the bill because it's overworked.
 Exclusive Songs and Eccentrici- ties" with Cora Byal and Dora Earl, will surely please a greater number of the audience, presenting as it does some songs, dances and music.
 Written to Order" is the most spectacular offering of the entire bill. It is different somewhat from the average, and 1t is due to that differ ence and to an exceptionally pretty girl that 1t delights the audience, though mention should be made of some accomplished dancers. The IA
 AT LoEW,S BIJOU
 In line with the change of policy Monday, October 1, a decided change for the better could be noticed in the bill for this week at Loew's Bijou. Patrons are scheduled for a real trate in both vaudeville and pictures. It is a bill which is entertaining from beginning to end.
 The vaudeville act opens with Selma Byaatz 6 Co.,, with good jug gling act, adding new features. Some of the feats would seem impossible even with a man performer, and are nothing less than marvellous when Miss Braatz.
 Nick and Gladys Verga, comedians and singers. kept the audience laugh ing for the next 15 minutes with their songs and antics It is hard to say exactly how they swung their au- dience in so many ways.
 Loena LaMar, the, girl with a thou sand eyes, the real headliner of the bill but coming third on the program as rendered, held the packed house in wonderment with her unusual ability future. All who asked questions had them answered satisfactorily.
 Fisher and Sheppard proved them selves two live wire entertainers. They carry a full stock of the old jokes with variations and a unusual stock of new ones.
 Evelyn Phillips & Go. closed the bill with variety of comic as well as novelty dancing.
 One thing on the program cannot afford to De missed and that is Hope

GOES TO CHAIR AS
 HE DENIES GUILT
Paul Pappas Executed for Murder
 of Boston Woman

Boston. July 14.-Paul Daskalakis alias Pappas. was executed in the electric chair in the state prison al 1920 a. m. today.
 Just before entering the death chamber Pappas reiterated to Rev William Bradley Whitney. prison chaplain, that he was innocent of the murder of Alice Arsenanlt of which he was convicted. He said nothing after entering the death chamber, He did not falter as he walked to the chair. ,..
 The crime for which Paul Dask- alakis, alias Paul Pappas, was sen fenced to die in the electric chair at the state prison was the murder of Mrs. Alice Arsenault whose body was found buried under pile of ashes in the cellar of a lodging house in the south end of Boston, on May II. 1920, Pappas. who had bought the lodging house from the woman disappeared late in the previous December and the state charged that he had murdered her on or about Christmas day, 1919.
 Pappas was arrested in Montreal in September 1921. He was sentenced to die in the week of March IS, 1923. His counsel offered no evidence in Te- fense, contending that the state had failed to establish Pappas' guilt.
 Then began the long and unsuc- cessful fight for his life. The first motion for a new trial was denied, and in January of this year Judge Braley, of the supreme court denied a writ of error. In March Governor Cox refused petition by a large delegation of Greek residents of this state for communication of the sen tence to life Imprisonment. Later in March the governor refused to grant a stay of execution to permit the investigation of alleged new evidence and on March 22 the superior court denied another motion for new trial. The next day Judge Bradley announced that the full bench of supreme court might hear the writ of error petition which he had denied and the governor hastily summoned his council which granted reprieve until May 1.
 In April the supreme court over ruled the petition for writ of er- TOT and the supreme court denied a final motion for new trial. made on the ground that Pappas was improperly defended at his trial and that new evidence showed perjury on the part of state witnesses In this connection it was brought out that District Attorney Thomas c. O'Brien had expressed willingness to nol-pros the first degree part of the charge against Pappas and per prisonment.

The court ruled that the district attorney had no power to take such action after sentence. Early in May Pappas was again reprieved, until July il to permit the supreme court to hear exceptions to the superior courts decision. The supreme court later overruled the exceptions and Governor Cox refused to intervene further in the case. Pappas, main taining his innocence, showed eager ness to obtain a new trial but re- fused to make any personal request for communication of his sentence to life imprisonment.

However, it has been known for several days that the investiga- tions of the commission showed that If appropriations are continued at the
