 Five different phases of Alabama his tory was presented. When the curtain arose Alabama, impersonated by Miss Murphy, of Gadsden, was standing on pedestal in the center of rear part of the platform. Miss Ann Jones read from the poem by A. B. Meek on the home of Alabama. Next was the presentation of the scene before the coming of the white man. A large group of girls dressed as Indians with their blankets and toma hawks marched in front of Alabama and gave one of their characteristic dances.
 Then appeared the Spaniards. De Soto, a Spanish cavalier, came with his army of Spanish soldiers, followed by the clinking of castanets and the musi- cal jingle of the tambourines. Immcdi- dtely lOliOWlnS lllS was lHe pIcSciita- tion of scene of the first white settle ment at Mobile by the French in TOP. These pleasure-loving Frenchmen brought with them the dancers from the Court of Louis. The stately minuet was gracefully given on the stage.
 The coming of the English in 1763 from South Carolina and Virginia was celebrated with the dance of the Vir- ginia reel which was most artistically given by a group of Sophomores. The clouds of war were next shown with a scene of the eos, when all of the men of the land were called upon to defend the south. Peace and happiness were next portrayed but this was marred by the great struggle for democracy. Nurses. wounded men, soldiers, repre- sentatives of all callings next appeared upon the scene to portary the great world war; After this all who parti- cipated appeared upon the stage and sang in most effective manner "Ala- bama" to the tune by Charles Rendell Calkins.

THOUSANDSPAUSE AT G0MPERS BIER IN WASHINGTON
Many National Officials View FlOwer-Decked
 Casket In Capital
(By Associated Press l

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-The body of Samuel Gompers, late president of the American Federation of Labor reached the capital late today, after the long journey from San Antonio, and lay in state in the federation's building to receive the homage of friends and fol lowers here before being taken to New York
 Members of the late leaders family his widow and three sons, with many government and national labor officials, met the train. Relatives went aboard to view the body today before the cas- ket was removed to the offices where he directed the federations activities for so many years.
 The casket was borne from the train on an artillery caison escorted by mil itary detachment from Fort Myer, Vir- ginia.
 Flowers Abundant
 The abundance of floral offerings which had been presented on the way eastward, were taken to the labor build ing with the casket, and, with the ad- dition of numerous other pieces that had been sent, there from officials and friends in the capital, were banked high about the bier. The executive commit tee of the federation marched behind the casket on its way to the labor building.
 In the procession also were delegates from national and international labor organizations, 50 women from the bu- reau of engraving and printing, and other government departments whose workers are organized. Delegations also were present from the Masonic, Eo1l o<1 fraternities of which MT. Gompers was a member.
 Representative Zihlman, republican, atives Upshaw, Georgia, ranking dem ocrat of the House on the committee of labor, were among those who paid their respects. One of the large delegations was from the Mexican embassy. The acute illness which brought on Mir. Gompers' death developed in Mexico City. Two Cuban labor men also paid their respects as representatives of the Latin-American labor fraternity.
 Jusserand Present
 Ambassador Jusserand, of France, joined the long procession which marched slowly past the casket as the evening wore on. The line included Senators Brookhart, Iowa; Harris, Georgia; Harrison, Mississippi, and Stanley, Kentucky, and Mrs. Mae Nolan representative from California, whose husband was labor leader on the coast.
 Mir. Gompers' private office in the labor building has been closed since re- ceipt of news of his death, and nothing in it has been disturbed. It will re- main just qs he left it until his sue cessor IS selected by the executive coun- cil in a few days.

2 CONFEDERATES
 DIE IN FLAMES
 IN MISSISSIPPI
Two Others Injured In Destruction Of Home
 At BeauvOir

BEAUVOIR, Miss, Dec. 16.-Two Confederate veterans were burned to death and two were injured when fire destroyed a dormitory of the Jefferson Davis Soldiers home early today.
 The fire was the second tragedy to visit the old soldiers this month. An epidemic of dysentery believed to have been caused by infected milk took the lives of six veterans and sent about 3G more to the hospital for treatment.
 The dead:
 F. J. Sharpe, 7s, Columbus, and J. P. Hunter, 80, Laurel.
 The injured:
 Joe Sanders, Lauderdale, feet burned, and Clement Cox. Harrison county, feet and hands burned.
 Twenty were asleep in the eightroom, one-story frame building when the structure was discovered to be in flames. Volunteers fought their way through the smoke and carried the vete- rans to safety. Sharpe and Hunter could not be reached and their charred bodies were found in bed later.
 Some of the veterans went back into the building for their possessions and it was only with difficulty that some were rescued the second time.
 The dormitory adjoined the old hospital occupied by 25 women, aged from so to 100. The hospital was emptied by volunteers. The origin of the fire has not been determined, but it was believed to have been due to an open fireplace. The loss was esti- mated at $1S,000.

GROCERS' PARTY GREAT SURPRISE
 TO 300 VISITORS
Annual Christmas Jubilee Is Held Tuesday
 Night

Members of the Birmingham Retail Grocers and Butchers association, theil families and friends, found series oi real surprises waiting when they gath cred in the Hillman hotel ball room Tuesday night for the annual get-to gether meeting and Christmas jubilee of the association.
 A program of clever stunts, arranged by B. c. Apperson, secretary of the organization and chairman of the jubi- lee committee, kept the more than 5OC guests in constant uproar. A unique playlet, "There ain't no Santa Claus with Charles NJ. Lane, Harlow Ballard Paul Shropshire. Tom Grimes and J. l.. Morrow cast in the principal roles pleased immensely and wound up with a clean-cut verdict in favor of Santa.
 Santa Claus later produced more mer- riment by displaying bag of toys and things to the guests. He gave Prcsi- dent Mason a toy horn and made him blow it. while the crowd roared. He gave Secretary Apperson man-sized stick of old-fashioned peppermint candy and stood over him until it vanished. The lone speaker of the evening was Charles M. Lane, who reviewed the phenomenal progress of the association during 1924, outlined plans for the big food exposition to be held at the audi torium next March, and closed with a barrage of brand new jokes.
 Luncheon Served
 The guests were served buffet lunch con by committee headed by o. T. Earle. Donovon Provision company, Loose-Wiles Biscuit company, H. H. Claussen's Cake company, F. o. Stone Baking company, Churngold Sales com pany, McCulla-Tyler Baking company and the Carnation Milk Products com pany supplied the dainties for the menu,
 There were many kiddies at the frolic and in addition to getting long look at Santa Claus himself, they were given toys and goodies in abundance. The ball room was gaily decorated with holiday trimmings, and the Dixie serenaders furnished music for the dance which followed the entertainment program.
 D. F.. McLendon, city commission president, was an honor guest. He lauded the spirit of cooperation exist ing among Birmingham grocers and butchers and predicted that the March food exposition will be the outstandinp show of it's kind in the south next year.
 Before starting home at late hour, the guests voted the jubilee the "best yet staged by the association" and gave the arrangements committee, head ed by Secretary Apperson, a rising chorus of appreciation.

SENATE REJECTS
 SMITH MEASURE

argues that in his opinion the com mission of his own state is incapable of doing so."
 Says Smith Doesn't Understand
 Turning to Senator Smith of South Carolina, he said: II know the sena- tor, who has always worked for the farmers, does not understand what he is doing. But he is attempting to kill the fertilizer production possibilities of Muscle Shoals, that for which we have worked together for many years. In the Underwood bill is the Ford pro- visions made stronger. For whereas Ford guaranteed to produce fertilizer if practicable, it is provided in this meas ure that 10000 tons of nitrate per annum, as much as is imported by this country and used by farmers, shall be produced"
 Senator Smith replied by stating that if he was in error it was not an error of the heart. He then defended his proposition that the government ex- pertinent in the hope of securing in after years 10000 tons of nitrate rather than accept in the present a certain 10000 tons.
 He took issue with Senator Heflin's assertion that the President would veto bill without a leasing provision, and declared that the President. were he to do so, would convict himself of insin- cerity and hyprocrisy."
 Approves Committee
 Senator Underwood tonight an- nounced his "entire satisfaction" with the personal of the subcommittee of the Judiciary committee which was ap- pointed this afternoon to investigate the charge of the Washington Herald has yet been placed in its path when it weathered a determined attempt to eliminate its private operation feature and limit to government operation.
 The senator intimated that any sub committee that might have been ap- pointed by the chairman would have been satisfactory to him. The members of the subcommittee are Senators Spen- cer of Missouri, Butler of Massachu- setts, Sterling of South Dakota, Over man of North Carolina, and Caraway of Arkansas. The majority of the members seemingly support the Under wood bill, although the democratic per sonnel is evenly divided, Overman op- posing and Caraway supporting.
