ADJUSTMENTS
AT TOEW'S BIJOU

At last Broadway has come to Bir- mingham. The unusual diversity ot eNonsensical Revue" with Jack Wilson, famous American comedian and Ruth Wheeler, Charles Forsythe and Wiz liam Ward, in a bountiful collection of blackface songs, dances and farclaI situations is new to Birmingham.
 Leading the bill. one of the best that has been at the Bijou for some weeks, is Hector" a dog act, which has far excelled any similar act billed in Birmingham this season. The tricks that "Hector" can do are too numerous to mention.
 Juggling three banjos and playing a tune at the same time, was the new stunt of Howard and Ross, banjo fiends, who are really artists. For settlements connected with a court ship, Rich and Banta, have about all of them jammed in their, act. A group of clever songs are included. D
 Emily Earle and company of song sters and, dancers proved popular.
 The laughs of the program belong to Jack Wilson, his comedy skit and his company are encored until there are no more songs to sing. Stage gossip has it that the only reason Jack Will son came south this season is for a courtesy to good friend of his. At any rate, it is a little slice of Broad- way brought to Birmingham.

Sales Taxpayers

Ten thousan.s sales taxpayers were
warned Yesterday by Collector of

tax for March must be in his office
or in the hands of deputies in
branch offices, on or before April
so, to avoid penalties Of % per cent
and per cent ana a specific pen

The class Of taxpayers affected
includes manufacturers Of autOmo-
biles, parts and accessories, candy
nd other persons manufacturing
taxable articles, theatere, country
clubs, jewellers, makers Of syrups,
soft drinks and carbonic acid,
ticket brokers and telephone and
telegraph companies.
MANY sales taxpayers are under
the impression that the proposed
revenue bill which is now under con
sideration by congress is already in
effect and that certain sales and ad
mission taxes have been repealed.
This is entirely erroneous as the
proposed revenue bin has not been
enacted and the tax situation is ur-

WHEELER CHARGES
ARE COLLAPSiNC
by United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, April 18.-The
trial' Of Senator Wheeler, Mon
tana, by committee Of his col
leagues, was at a standstill today
after the case against him bad all
but collapsed in the face Of denials
Of any Illegal conduct on his part
by all witnesses heard.
Unless some evidence can be pre-
gerted to snow more reasonable
grounds for Wheeler's indictment,
it was indicated that the committee
would probably recommend the re-
moval Of the United States district
attorney who brought it.
Wheeler was elated over the
"clean bill of health" given him
by Gordon Campbell his client, men
tioned in the indictment with him
and by Edwin 8. Booth, former
solicitor Of the interior department
whom Wheeler was charged with ag
preaching in connection with an oil
lease for Campbell.

A RUNNING MATE

WASHINGTON, April 1S,-The
vice presidential boom which some
<of his admiring friends have start
ed for "hell and Maria Dawes y
has naturally been followed by 9th
er booms, launched by those who
do not want their candidates shut
out by failure to speak up in time.
One of the most Interesting move
ments. in the direction of the vice
presidency comes from group of
PrOgressives who see IN opportunity
to get second place on the Repub-
licGn- tickle. rs n concession to the
strong Progressive sentiment Of the
west and northwest. This group
will suggest that the selection of
q sturdy Progressive to balance Mr..
Coolidge's conservatism, might help
ttare off a big third part yvote.
Former Senator William $. Ken
yon of Iowa has been suggested in
this connection, but the Progressives
sponsoring the idea want somebody
even more aggressively Liberal than

GIANTS BELIEVE
IN GOOD START,
PLAY GOOD BALL
BY HENRY l.. FARRELL

NEW YORK, April lS.-Follow-
ing the policy of John McGraw that
it is extremely dangerous to trifle
around in the spring as it is when
the wire in insight, the New York
Giants are down to the serious bus
mess of getting themselves COM
manling lead in the national league
penmant race.
1t is quite obvious mat the Giant
leader is aware of the fight that
he has on hands and that he mas
sent his team out to get the jump
while the jumping is good.
The early spring schedule is in
favor of the Giants. While the
strong western clubs are pounding
away at each other the national
league champions have until June
to make the most of the weaker
Philies, Robins and Braves.
Hard to Catch
If the team can keep on its toes,
il ought to get into the sec0nd
third of the pennant race with lead
of at least ten games. With com
manding lead, the Giants will be
hard to catch.
The form shown by young Wey-
land Dean, the $4,000 rookie pltch-
err, who beat the Robins yesterday,
must have been just as encouraging
to McGraw as the fine game turned
in by Jack Bentley on the day pre-,
vious. From what has been seen
of the Giants so far, it is possible
that much has been accomplished in
the strengthening of the notorious
weakness of the pitching staff.
Dean showed himself a gallant
young pitcher by settling down and
pitching great ball after he had
been smacked for two homers in the
first inning He was in trouble sew
eral times but almost any rookie will
have some nervous trouble his first
time out.

District Will
Aid in Helping
Fight Epidemic

Endorsing the quarantine rules of
the board of supervisors of this
county which are aimed at keeping
Imperial Valley free from the hoof
and mouth disease, the Imperial Ir-
rigation district has passed q strong
resolution supporting the regula-
tions and offering its Incorporation
and the use of its organization and
equipment in any reasonable and le-
gal way to enforce same
The resolution follows:
Whereas, Imperial County is
free of the foot and mouth disease,
which exists in some other parts Of
the state,
Whereas, one of the great in
dustries Of the county is that of
livestock and dairying, which in
dustrv and many others would be
virtually ruined if the county be-
came infected with the disease, and
Whereas, if once infected the
stamping out thereof would be vir-
tually impossible, because, of the
proximity of Mexico, and the i'm
possibility of controlling the same
therein, and
Whereas. great 'volume of
business is transacted across In
ternational boundary line at this
point, and the district is operating
an international water system, the
very existence of which requires
that the international boundary line
be kept open to district employees
and equipment at all times.
"Now, therefore, it is resolv-
ed that the Imperial Irrigation Dis
trict heartily endorses careful and
strict quarantine rules and regula-
tions against said disease and of
fers the cooperation of the district
and the use of its organization and
equipment in any reasonable mad
legal way to enforce the same.

the output for scientific pur-
