.FOLLKS CAST IS
GETTING READY
Junior League Members Work
ing Hard To Offer
Inc Best

Rehearsals for "The Follies of 1924"
which will be given at the Jefferson the
atre Friday and Saturday nights of
this week, are rapidly placing the COM
pany at point Of perfection, and mem
bers Of the theatrical profession who
have viewed the work of the cast of six.
ty the past few days as Director H.
Ted Rouston is getting them into shape,
state that in their opinion this musical
comedy will eclipse anything undertaken
in local talent way in Birmingham be-
fore. The funds derived from the two
productions of 1.-THE Follies of 1929
will be turned over to the Junior league,
under whose auspices the show is being
given.
Due to the fact that the Junior
leagues work is statewide, it was not
granted any of the funds accruing from
the community chest drive held recent
ly. That being the case, the officials set
about to raise funds to help in the work
to be undertaken this year in a wei.
fare way, and the money derived from
the Friday and Saturday night enter.
tainments promises to 60 long way to-
ward replenishing the treasury of the
institution. -,
Great Cast
The only difference between the "Fol.
lies of 1921 and professional cast is
that the sixty members of the big Fol
lies troupe do not receive pay for their
services, it is said. The cast has been
selected with care by Mr.. Routson, the
director, who is in charge of the work
here for the Joe Bren Production COM
pany of Chicago. This concern has
furnished the elaborate scenic effects
and the costuming, and with scenery
costumes and talent of high quality Mr.
R0utson has gone about staging a show
that will measure up we'll with any the
atrical attraction seen heresthis season
it is said. y Fl
The musical comedy is made up Of
two acts and eight scenes. Some Of
those who exploit the song and dance
numbers are Misses Mabel Crenshaw

THREE NEGROES
ATTACK OFFICER
Mitchell, Was Investigating Ii
Search For Railways
Stolen Property

w. F. Mitchell, West End automo-
bile scout, was severely beaten by three
negroes, living at 226 Forrest street,
Sunday morning at 8 O'Clock when he
attempted to place them under arrest.
One of the trio, James 8. Madison,
was shot in the right side by Mitchell
in the scuffle. Charges Of assault with
intent to murder were placed against all
three, Madison's wife, Laura, being
locked in the city Jail and his son,
Robert, taken over by court authorities.
Mitchell, who entered the Madison
home at the request Of ]. L. Gilbert,
an employee Of the Atlanta, Birmingham
and Atlantic railway, to investigate the
charge that they had been stealing coal
from the railroad, was in the full uni
form of a patrolman. Believed to have
known his mission, the three, armed
with an axe, baseball bat and one with
brick, began concentrated attack.
Gilbert and other witnesses who heard
the sounds of the struggle and the re-
port of Mitchell's revolver. entered the
home and succeeded in separating the
negroes from the officer. They were
held captives until other patrolmen from
headquarters arrived to take charge.
Mitchell, badly cut and bruised, was
taken to Norwood hospital where he
was reported resting easily Sunday
night. Madison's wound was not con.
sidered serious after an examination at
Hillman hospital.
A second alteration between negroes
and the police, in which gun-play fea-
tured, took place later in the day at
Sloss quarters, where ]. f. McGill and
r. G. Patton, city detectives, went to
arrest John Turner who was reported
to have driven his family from home
and made threats against Ieighbors with
rifle.
At the officers approach Turner
dashed into the kitchen of his home at
80 Sehloss quarters and barricaded the
door, placing the barrel of the rifle out
the window. There was an exchange
of shots before McGill slipped through
the front door and covered the negro
with a. revolver.
Turner was arrested on the charge of
assault with intent to murder and in
toxicated and aggravated conduct.

SERUM QUESTION ]
TO Be DECIDED.
Scopolamine's Use And Future
In Courts Comes Up Mon
day Morning

Interest at the court house during the
present week will center in the trial of
the negroes, Pearl and Odell jackson
and Peyton johnson, alleged axe muir
derers, set for Monday morning before
Judge William e. Fort.
4 Use of scopolamine, or truth. serum,
is expected to be attacked and defended
by attorneys for the defense and prose
cution as a means of obtaining alleged
confessions of guilt and other evidence
against the prisoners, as the serum il
said to have been used on these three
on at least one occasion.
Davis To Present
Solicitor Jim Davis announced Sat
urdax that he expected to handle per
s0nally the case for the prosecution hui
refused to say, what use would be made
Of evidence said to have been obtained
through scopolamine injections. He
said he thought the trial would con
sumo several days, however.
Use of truth serum has never been
tested as to its Legality in Jefferson
county, court, and the trial of thess
prisoners Monday is looked forward
to with considerable interest. An at
tempt to test its legality was made In
the trial Of Fred Glover, charged with
assault upon Mr.. and Mrs. Edwin
Sparks, who is also said to have beer
given the serum; but, when asked on
the witnesse stand about it, the ques
ton was objected to. as irrelavent, ths
objection being sustained by the pre-
siding judge.
Courthouse Deeds
Although members Of the board Of
revenue have expressed confidence that
sale of the old court house site will
not be delayed by legal tangles growing
out Of. acquisition of the site practically
as a gift from the Elyton Land com
pany, it is known that the whole boart
viii insist upon looking up the deed,
and ascertaining all conditions of 1t.
transfer to the county. One or two
members have expressed doubt as t.
the legality Of its sale, while others say
there is nothing to prevent it. Tn,
matter is expected to be taken up Al
Tuesdays meeting.

The property embraces 1890 acres of

WHEAT IS HIGHER
IN INITIAL TRADE
Rn United FinanciaE

By United Financial
CHICAGO. April 81. Wheat
started higher, corn and oats lower
on the Chicago board Of trade today.
Wheat received good local support,
unfavorable weather and small world
shipments having stimulating effect
on bull sentiment. Liverpool was
closed today. but traders watched
closely the Winnipeg market. The
latter closed Saturday showing only
fractional gain against a 2-cent rise
on the local exchange. This put
domestic values sharply out Of line for
export business.
A light corn movement was offset by
lack of demand in all directions.
Showers over parts of the central pro-
ducing area slowed up the movement.
Another factor that served to dampen
sentiment was realization that the
$3.50 900 bushels of corn now held in
Duluth elevators VIII be given
preference over stocks at other centers
when navigation opens.
Rains were considered beneficial 70
the oats crops where seeded and
along with disposition Of the
country TO dispose of the cash article
caused recessions in values.
