KREISLER CONCERT
 DELIGHTS HEARERS
Genuis Of Violin Is Warmly
 Greeted in Birmingham

An unusually large group of ,Birming- ham music patrons sat in Masonic Temple auditorium Wednesday evening for scant two hours in friendly affec- tion for. the man Fritz Kreisler, and enthralled to a precise devotion by the artist in him that did inexplicable things with the violin. [
 There was something about the serene and lofty ease with which he began that<first movment of Grieg's sonata in c, minor and carried it along in q symphony of delicate and poignant phrasings that made applause seem a bit futile.
 Birmingham sought to comprehend the lucidity, the power, the exquisite potence of q new sort of melody that all \ the masterly technic in the world could not well explain; it, tried to devine how man so directly human, amiable and simple could produce a confederation of notes so vital.
 The mountainous, mysterious air of the genius which seemed at first lack ing in Kreisler fled from his bow in modest rhapsody long before he had reached his second medium, Tschaikow- sky's concerto in b major. Kreisler comprehended genius, and in doing so transcened the theatric effects of the artist cold and aloof.'
 The whimsies for which he is so well known--the dexterous, emotional and charming beauties of lighter moods he began expressing in long suite that included ,Porpora's minuet, Tartini's variations, the Kreisler arrangement of Paderewski's melody and his arrange ment of Chopin's Mazurka.
 He was compelled to play twice his arrangement of Henberger's Midnight Bells; his final number was Hubay's Hoyre Kati. His encores included the Caprice Viennos.
 And in the accompaniment of Carl Lamson he was enabled to achieve the sort of perfection of expression one ascribes to warm and amiable genius and exuuisite noptic utterance K

 Charges that the subcommittee is an Underwood scheme" were pre- ferred by Mir. Musgrove in the commu- nicatioh. Naming the delegates to the national convention, Mir. Musgrove stated, should be in the hands of the entire Alabama democratic organiza- tion and not in the hands of such a subcommittee.

You might be surprised to know
that the best thing you can use for
a severe cough, is a remedy which
is easily prepared at home in just
few moments. It's cheap, but for
prompt results it beats anything else
you ever tried. Usually stops the
ordinary cough or chest cold in "a
hours. Tastes pleasant, too-chil-
dren like it-and it is pure and good.
Pour 21z ounces of Pinex in a pint
bottle; then fill it up with plain
granulated sugar syrup. Or use clari-
fed molasses, honey, or corn syrup,
instead of sugar syrup, if desired
Thus you make a full pint-a family
supply-but costing no more than
small bottle of ready-made cough
syrup.
And as a cough medicine, there is
really nothing better to be had at
any price. 1t goes right to the spot
and gives quick, lasting relief. 1t
promptly heals the infamed mem
branes that line the throat and air
passages, stops the annoying throat
tickle, loosens the phlegm, and soon
your cough stops entirely. Splendid
for bronchitis, Group, hoarseness and
bronchial asthma.
Pinex is a highly concentrated
compound of Norway pine extract
famous for healing the membranes.
To avoid disappointment ask your
druggist for '.2H ounces of Pinex"
with directions and don't accept any
thing else. Guaranteed to give abso-
lutte satisfaction or money refunded.

Plan Scrutiny of Ex-attor-

Washington, ID. C., April H.
Baked in its efforts TO get at the
bank accounts of Attorney General
Daugherty and Jess Smith, the Senate
committee tonight laid plans to over
come the legal obstacles thrown in its
way and for relentless scrutiny OF
Dauzherty's financial affairs.
Chairman Brookhart is by no means
discouraged over the failure Of the
committee 10 force its way in the Mid

Daugherty, brother of the former at
torney general.
''On the contrary" said Brookhart,
II regard the testimony taken in Ohio
as the most significant evidence that
! has yet been produced before the COM
mittee.
The testimony Of John Phelon, the
bank examiner, who was permitted TO
make a brief study OF the banks books
indicates that Harry Daugherty was
virtually bankrupt just before becom-
ing attorney general, but after taking
office he had nearly $4,000 deposited
to his credit in his brothers bank.
"Daugherty's ownership of large
block of stock in the Wright-Martin
Aircraft Corporation, which is alleged
to have received large overpayments
from the government on war contracts
is likewise highly significant in the
opinion OF the committee"

happy" confessed George Lister to-
night, and there is no denying he set
about it in the right way.
Tips of 500 to orchestra leaders,
a $500 bill playfully tucked into a fair

room boys, and so it went until George
had to borrow a nickel to go and give
himself up. The $4,000 he had
stolen from the American Express
company was all gone.
Lister came on from Sausalito, Cal,
without telling the company he was
leaving. He brought with him a black
satchel containing the $4,000.
When two detectives intercepted
him on his way to surrender today,
and robbed him of that last touch OF
bravado, be had the satchel still with
him. 1t bulged. They fell upon it
avidly. 1t was stuffed with old socks
and dirty linen.
George still wore the brown bust

SMITH BOOM
GETS IMPETUS
At NEW YORK
Governor Of Empire State
Honored at Jefferson
Day Banquet.
BIG DEMOCRATS THERE
"Al" Only Democratic Can
didate Able to Accept
Invitation.

New York, April 12.-Al Smith for
President, silently featured on pos
tiers throughout the city for the last
week, will be put to words, music and
cheering this evening at the annual
jefferson Day banquet OF the National
Democratic club.
Governor AL himself, scheduled
to appear at the banquet in the flesh
for greetings and an address, occupied
the principal place in the conversation
of tine Democratic politicians who arr
rived during the day and discussed the
year outlook.
The New York clubs banquet has
succeeded to first political import
Gnce in the annual parade of Demo
cratic candidates, since the custom OF
staging the big show in Washington
was abandoned several years ago. 1t
has achieved considerable prominence
in recent years due to intra-party
rivalries which have grown out OF its
meetings.
Invite All Candidates.
1t will be recalled that it was at
such a banquet two years ago that
Joseph p. Tumulty, secretary to the
late Woodrow Wilson. during the lat
ter's terms in the White House, drew
Goals of fire upon his head from Will
son by reading a message construed
by friends of William G. McAdoo, who
was absent. as a boost for James NJ.
Cox. who was present.
This year, to prevent the function
being what might be called partisan,
every Democratic candidate for the
presidential nomination-either prom
Using. potential or hopeless, was in
vited to attend.
None of them, however, except Al
Smith found his engagement list elas-
tic enough at the last minute to per-
nit OF accepting the invitation.
Senator Robinson, Arkansas, and
Walsh, Montana, both of whom have
occupied prominent places upstage in
recent filmings of the forthcoming
campaign. were too busy in Washing
ton. McAdoo and Cox found it impos
sible to attend, as did Senator Under
wood of Alabama, Governor Davis Of
Kansas, and numerous others.
Big Dcnocrsts Present.
John W. Davis, solicitor genera
and ambassador to Great Britain dur
ing the Wilson administration. might
be said to have been the one man Civ
ing the dinner a competitive flavor
because Davis is one of the foremost
Democrats in the country--but he al
ready has tended to frown on suggcs
tons made from many quarters that
he laed the party this year.
There were. however, such depend
ablcs as Charles Murphy, big chiei
of Tammany Hall; Governor Silssr o.
