JACKSON STARS
 IN NEW PLAY
Versatility Is Shown In Up In Mabel's
 Room

Selmer Jackson, entering his second week as leading man with the Jeffer- son players, starred Monday night in up In Mabel's Room"
 That Jackson is versatile-as was claimed for him when he came to Bir- mingham-is beginning to be evident to Birmingham theater-goers as a result of the splendid work he has done in his first two characterizations here. Last week in 'The Ruined Lady" he was given a definite type of masculine role. In Up In Mabel's Room" the character he portrays is far different, but the same high standard he set in the previous performance prevails this week.
 The Jefferson Players Monday eve ming failed to justify their self-applied appelation of "All-Star." They didn't "all star"
 up In Mabel's Room" contains lines that have made the country laugh. Scoring an instant success in New York several seasons ago, the show has been staged over and over again by road companies of good or bad quality.
 Even the most blaise critic could not restrain from some indulgence in laugh ter during the show. The situations and the lines were both funny.
 Of Miss Comeygy's work in the lead ing role there can be no criticism. She remained as always-dependab and greatly favored by the audinece. She gave strong impression that she un- derstood her part and played it.
 A. S. Byron, always one of the lief ferson company's greatest laugh-pro- ducers, is given full opportunity for his talent in up In Mabel's Room" and takes advantage of it. His facial ex- pression, infections and all other tricks of the comedian's trade are brought out well but are not over played.
 Miss Tamzen Marker has a good part and she handles it well. Miss Man ker, as she demonstrated Monday night, is another actress who is able to live her role and make it appear logical
 Miss Helen Ray gave a completely pleasing performance. As the elder sister of an impetuous and hot-headed brother, madly in love with a dashing widow, she is given a character ideal for her style.
 DeForest Dawley plays the part of a married man, guest at the house party where the action of the play occurs.
 Miss Emily Mclaughlin appears only in the second act, as a maid.
 George Westlake is butler. His part is small and not particularly concerned with the plot.
 Miss Marion Evenson, also starting her second week with the players, played the part of a prying and sus- picious wife. On the whole her work failed to continue the standard set in ''The Ruined Lady" Peter Buffers failed to score with the audience. His speech was a trifle too vehement, even when vehemence was called for.

BUICK ANNOUNCES
 NEWE EST MODEL.
Standard Six Has Many New And Improved
 Features

A question which has awakened much interest among Birmingham motorists for the past few days, and the answer to which has been looked forward to with keen interest, is What will Buick do?" This question was an- swered last night by Red" Smith of Drennen Motor company, in a talk to the sales organization of that firm, and the public will have it's first view of the new six today.
 The latest addition to present models new model has 1143s inch wheel base, is called the Standard Six" The valve-in-head, six cylinder motor, four wheel brakes and specially designed low pressure tires. The new chassis will offer eight body models.
 The new lines will be designated as the Master Six and the Standard Six, and while many improvements and re- finements have been added, the body lines and external appearances of the new models will be practically identical with those of the present type, which are still available.
 A feature of the new line is that the open models may also be had with an enclosed body and heater. This is an enclosure manufactured by the Buick factory. The permanent tops that may be had with the open models are fitted with glass and are tightly fitted to the tonneau.
 An improvement, worthy of mention is the fact that steering knuckles are fitted with ball bearings, effecting specially easy steering.
 All of the new models are<on display at the showrooms of Drennen Motor Car company, Avenue D and Twentieth street. The prices on the new lines have not been given out, but will be made public tomorrow.
 The public is cordially invited to an inspection and a demonstration of the new cars today.

NEW YORK PAPER
 TAKEN TO TASK
 BY SEN. RALSTON
Demands World Publish Ds ta On Klan Member
 ship Charges

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, NEW YORK, June S0.-Thomas Tag gart gave out in the convention hall to- day telegram from Senator Ralston calling on The New York World to make public any information it may have on the question of whether or not the senator is a klansman.
 The telegrams grows out of published reports here that the senator's candi- dacy for the democratic presidential nomination was being injured because of alleged support by the Ku Klux Klan.
 The telegram, which has been pub lished in The World, follows:
 "I gave The Worlds representative on Saturday the following statement i:
 "I have heretofore informed The World that am not a member of the Ku klux Klan, nor of any of its branches. This statement is either the truth or a falsehood I take it from the persistence of The World inS, in- quiring further into my supposed re lations to this organization it has doubt as to the truthfulness> of my state ment. If it has such doubt I sumbit IT IS tlme TOT It to dlScloSe US lnror- nation to the public.
 "Let me say that I have not asked any man or newspaper to support my nomination for president, nor have l any information as to what delegates, if any,1 aside from that of Indiana, in- tends to support me for nomination. If, however, I should be nominated for that high office, shall appreciate the support of every voter in the country without regard to the blood which courses through his veins or the or ganization to which he belongs, pro- vided such support is given me with the understanding that I shall stand upon the platform of the New York convention and shall insist upon every citizen having all his constitutional rights scrupulously safeguarded.

Canada To Aid In Effort To Talk To Explorer
Special Short Wave Radio Installed On Steamer
 Sailing Northward

HARTFORD, Conn.,, June 30.-Re- peated failures cts amateur operators of the American Radio Relay league to communicate with the MacMillan arctic expedition at Etah, North Greenland, have recently led to arrangements with the Canadian government to install a special radio equipment on the steamer Arctic" for purposes of communicating with the explorer.
 The Arctic" sails from Quebec, July 1, in the service of the Canadian marine department for Baffin Bay and the Can adian Arctic islands and hopes event. ually to work it's way through to Etah. The special radio equipment consists of a short wave I. c. W. transmitter for operation on about 120 meters. It is believed that short wave signals will were static of the far north than the longer wave lengths used in the past. The almost continuous daylight in the any radio communication difficult and results of the present experiment will be watched with interest. <.
 Developed Since Sailing
 The practicability of short wave trans mlSSlon mas only recently been dlScoVer- cd and made possible, last November, the two-way communication established with European amateurs. The Mac Milan expedition sailed from Wiscasset, Maine, last July and this new develop ment has taken place since the Bowdoin arrived at Euah.
 So far no communication has been attempted on waves below 1S0 meters from the far north, which is the wave sometimes used by the MacMillan sta- ton. Broadcasts have been sent out nightly asking Mix, the MacMillan op- orator, to tune his transmitter and re- ceiver down to 100 meters, but the mes- sages have apparently failed to reach him.

and has familiarized himself with the new .120 meter radio set. He is keen- ly interested in demonstrating the ef- fectiveness of the short wave in reach ing the hitherto unavoidable Bowdoin. If he does get in touch with Mix he will pass on the short wave suggestion and it is quite possible that amateurs in Canada and the United States may again hear WNP, the MacMillan sta tion. ou 100 meters before the Bowdoin sails for home.
 Amateurs To Cooperate
 To make the experiment more effective the radio branch of the Canadian ma rine department has requested the CO., operation of all North American anna teurs in the tests made by the Arctic" :" The A. R. R. l.. has already taken ac- tive steps toward securing the greatest number of stations to keep a nightly watch for signals from the Arctic" " whose call is VDM. The regular sched- ule will be p. m. to midnight, eastern standard time, daily except Wednes- days. Saturdays the station will be in operation until midnight and continue until a. m. Sunday.
 The radio branch of the Canadian marine department has also given all Canadian amateurs special authoriza- ton to use wave length of 120 meters for communication with the Arctic and the A. R. R. L. is cooperating to keep the air free from interference on this wave length.
 The short wave transmitter will com prise two Admiralty TIA or two Mar conf MT6 tubes, supplied with 10000 volts 480 cycles to the plates of the tubes. The approximate rating will be 2KW input. That may have a dis tinctive mellow note, no filter will be used on the transmitter and the call VDM will be recognized readily by all amateurs hearing the signals. The ex- petition of the Arctic" is in charge of J. D. Craig and the ships sailing mas ter is Captain Bernier, a famous Ga nadian exployer,
