Lyric a splendid example Of what we
expect on the variety stage. It is a
surprise act and one which has real
ox-office value. While the box-office
groans with pleasure, the audience is
laughing like mad. A real funny
act, this is.
a l.. Wolf Gilbert, song composer who
is well known for his popular songs,
is present. Handicapped by a bad
cold, Gilbert permits showmanship
and his own compositions to put
over his act. Some may think that
he shows too much ego but he is a
Snowman and wins easily. Mary
Mills starts the show off with a nice
aerial act.

act.
Renard and West appear as Prin-

SHERIFF REFUSES
 TO FREE EDITOR
Troops Requested To Obtain Re-
 lease Of Carl c. Magee

EAST LAS VEGAS, N. M,, July 22. At 9 o'clock tonight Carl c. Magee, Albuouerque editor. was still held i'll the San Miguel county jail, despite noti- fication of a pardon by Gov. J. F. Hin kle to Sheriff Delgado. Notification of the pardon was made by Adjutant Gen eral Skipwith, of the New Mexico ma tional guard, who made an automobile trip from Santa Fe to secure the re- lease of Magee, sentenced today to three months in the county jail by District Judge D. J. Lappey on contempt of court charges.
 Sheriff Delgado resisted the release of Magee cn the ground that the gov ernor had no power to pardon in the case of direct contempt.
 Following the sheriff's refusal to re- lease Magee, General Skipwith immedi- ately got into communication with the governors office by long distance tele phone seeking authorization to call upon the Twelfth engineers of the national guard, near here in summer encamp' ment, for assistance to release the edi. tor.

DAVIS ELECTION
 DEPENDS ON EAST, SAYS UNDERWOOD
LaFOllette's Entry Seen As Guarantee Of Dem-
 Ocratic Victory
(WashingtOn Bureau)

WASHINGTON, July 22.-That La. Toilette will prove a dud is not be- lieved by Senator Oscar W. Under wood of Alabama. On the contrary, the Alabama senator holds that La Folette will carry the ''disgruntled northwest, to the injury of republican hopes, and will receive a handsome vote in New York, (which will cut both ways"
 "As a whole," said the senator, "La- Toilette will hurt the candidacy of Coolidge and aid the candidacy of Davis. It is indicated that the LaFollette party. in the end, will be found to be the labor party. l think labor will gather behind LAFollette more com pactly than it has ever gathered behind any other man."
 An Excellent Chance
 Senator Underwood believes that Davis has an excellent chance to win, not only because of the LaFollette cru sade, but because "he will prove as strong in the east as Coolidge"
 II have never strongly adhered to the theory that the reaetionary east may be outvoted by the progressive south and west" he said. "Ths south is willing to cooperate with the west, but the west in normal times has never been willing to cooperate with the south. The same has been true in mat ters of legislation. The south in Con gress has aided making the west against the protests of the east. But the west has never actively supported the south in the south's efforts to better itself.
 DiviGe The East
 Our chance of election this year, as in all other normal years, depends on our success in the east, divide the west between La Toilette and Coolidge and the east between Davis and Coolidge and the south will be strong enough to elect Davis. It is a matter of arith- metic."
 Senator J. Thomas Heflin, before leaving for Alabama today, issued a statement reiterating his former pre- diction that Davis would run first and Coolidge third. He also bitterly ar raigned Chairman Butler of the repub- lican national committee for his state ment that the scandal and corruption of the Harding Coolidge regime had been overlooked by the people.

WORK UNDER WAY
 ON NEW FACTORY FOR BIRMINGHAM
$2OO,OOO Furniture Plant Scheduled To Open
 By November 1

Contracts for the Birmingham Fur niture Company's new plant on the southeast corner of Ninth avenue and Nineteenth street, a project which is to cost in the neighborhood of $200, GOO, will be awarded within the next few days, it was stated Tuesday by c. E. Rice, vice-president of the organization.
 Pouring of concrete foundations of the structure began Tuesday and it is expected that the building program will be completed by November l. Plans for the plant call for four-story build ing of reinforced concrete measuring 200 by 240 feet. This will allow 192,- 900 square feet of floor space. In ope- ration it will afford one of the most modern factories of its kind in the country and one of the few similar en- terprises of the south. There is one other furniture manufacturing concern in the Birmingham district.
 The Birmingham Furniture and Man ufacturing Co.,, is an outgrowth of the Birmingham Steel Products Co.,, con- cern making steel beds and hospital equipment with plant in East Birming- ham. At the time of its organization, January 1, quarters were leased on First avenue near Seventeenth street but these were found inadequate to meet demands. Several weeks ago it was decided to build a new and modern factory when tentative plans for the step was announced.
 It is felt by officials that the new factory will offer room for expansion and make available more efficient meth ods and lower operating costs than the present buildings. The will be but little increase in employment because of improved machinery, it is stated.
 Officers of the company are: c. P. Nolan, president, who has been actively in charge of the Birmingham Steel Products company for a number of years; c. B. Rice, vice president, well known here as a furniture broker since 1910; Joe Nelson, secretary, and H. L.. Kyle, treasurer. Mir. Nolan will have supervision of production for the new company, it is said, with Mir. Rice in charge of the sales end. The East Bir- mingham plant will continue in opera tion.

Sweetwater Hotel Register Of
 1874 Tells Interesting Tale

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, July a. The register of the Hotel Monroe, Sweetwater, Tenn, of the seventies, re- covered from the attic of a business house, furnishes lot of data recalling other days.
 The register shows that on Tuesday, May IS, 1874, the name of President U. S. Grant appears and opposite his name is recorded "- at. and 12 oigars. !" The records do not explain wta: the '1 qt." stood for, but it is interesting in these prohibition days to speculate. Another record shows that the lresi- deEt stopped at the hotel. Besides President Grants name the register shows that a number of men prominent in politics and business in those days in Tennessee, were frequent guests of the hotel.
 In the list of guests appears the name of John Robinson and wife, the old time circus king; Sitting Bull and Gray Horse, of Montana, being regist erel on October 31. 1875, and General Tom Thumb, who was there in the same year

WASHINGTON, July 22.-The federal trade commission has or- dered the U. S. Steel corporation controlling 50 per cent of the ln- dustry-to abandon the Pittsburg plus basis for setting the price of steel, in a sweeping decision whose affects will reach not only the rest of the steel industry, but the gen eral public, business, and especially the farmers, to the extent of mll- lions of dollars.
 The decision charges that the Pittsburg plus practice is price-fixc ing, that it is an unfair method of competition in violation Of the fed- eral trade commission acs,. and price discrimination in violation of the Clayton antitrust act. It closes a fight which has been carried on for four years. The federal trade commission was aided in its cam paign by 32 states which joined i'll an association to overthrow the practice. The decision Tuesday fol- lows a lengthy investigation and extended hearings.
 The Pittsburg plus basis provides that the cost of steel delivered from any plant of the steel corporation at any point in the country shall be the base price charged at Pittsburg plus what the freight charge would be to that point, though there is no ship ment and no actual freight charge.
 It means, for instance that a ton of steel costing $50 at Pittsburg costs $37.50 if secured at the company's plant at Chicago, and $4320 at Duluth. Minn., the extra cost being for freight, though there is no shipment.
 The effect of the decision will be revolutionary. The case was character ized by Judge Ebert H. Gray, chair man of the board of directors of the corporation, as ''the greatest lawsuit before the country"
 "Pittsburg plus adds millions of dol lars each year to the prices paid by steel users outside of Pittsburg, which,

MOUND CITY, H., July 22.-Two negroes held here in connection with the murder, early this morning at Villa Ridge, H., af Daisy Wilson, 18-year- old girl, were taken from the Pulaski county jail late tonight by Sheriff l. J. Hudson, when crowds gathering about the jail threatened trouble. It is believed the negroes were taken to Murphysboro.
 The prisoners were led from the back door of the sheriffs home, which ad- joins the jail and driven away ln an automobile.
 Despite thundershowers the crowds continue to congregate about the court house and jail in which deputies armed with riot guns were stationed.
 Stirred by repeated assertions by J. q. Wilson, father of the slain girl, that he positively identified the two negroes as his daughters assailants, the crowd became hostile and made V sally for the iaiI. Several shots were fired, but no one was injured.
 When informed by the deputies sta tioned in the jail that the two negroes had been removed to parts unknown by Sheriff Hudson, the crowd hooted the statement and continued their de- mands for the prisoners immediate re- lease.
 The mob consistently refused to dis perse and continued their aggressive at- titude, many displaying revoIyers;,
 Fearful lest serious riotlng ana olooa- sheed result, the chief deputy Tn chargee' made repeated attempts to reacn AZ E11 jutant General Black at Sprlnglieia' that request for state troops might he made.

NEW YORK, July 22.-Vivid sto- ries of the crash in the dark which plunged the big honeymoon" liner Bos- ton into chaos of fear-and took four lives-stories that conflicted widely be- cause of the tremendous confusion among $40 frantic passengers, as the tanker Swift Arrow plowed into the Boston almost amidship-were told on the Fall River line docks here as the bulk of the survivors were brought in to New York.
 Hundreds of relatives, kept in anx- iety throughout a day of fragmentary reports which have still failed to iden- tify all the bodies of the four victims, thronged the wharf as the Fall River liners Priscilla and Providence steamed in. There were dozens of mothers and fathers fearing for the possible loss of honeymooning sons or daughters be- cause of an inaccurate passenger list. The fact that many survivors were taken to Newport or Fall River, left many in doubt Tuesday night.
 Scores of stories were told of the or der or disorder that followed the smash. of the efficiency or disorganization of the crew, of the bravery or rank cow ardice of the big contingent of negro porters and walters, of the calmness or pandemonium of the passengers.
 Lists Inaccurate
 The passenger list was highly fallible. Names of persons who had reserved stateroOms for passengers whose names are unknown were listed beside those of many "honeymooners" who appar- ently gave fictitious names.
 Gaiety was the watchword on the ship earlier in the evening. The orches- tra had played until 10 80 o'clock and

most of the passengers were young peo- pie, many of them taking the famous night boat trip as a moonlight frolic.
 There was complete agreement among the passengers, 4S0 of whom were brought here. on the Priscilla and a score or more on the Providence, as to the coolness and efficiency of the Boston's captain, A. W. Hall.
 A minute after the crash, above the tumult of shouts, screams and sirens, they heard the captains voice booming out in sharp stentorian tones to the captain of the tanker:
 Where are you goin?" the captain shouted. q want you to stand by and take off my people,"
 The tanker stood by and aided inn portantly in the rescue work.
 Dance Is Started
 Meanwhile two girls had brought out portable Victrola which they started on one of the decks. Many danced and relieved the tenseness of the situation in that quarter of the ship, until life boats were ready to take them off.
 The known dead, as far as could be learned at the company's offices and from passengers, are Mrs. Oscar Green, wife of New York theatrical produ- cer, and c. L. Copeland of Brookline, Mass, who died at Newport after being rushed there by the coast guard cutter Acushnet. The Greens were returning from their honeymoon trip.
 Miss Anna Simons, who was in stateroom next to that of the Greens, with Sadie Monyek of New York, told how Green ran screaming from his stateroom after the collision. His wife apparently had been instantly killed. She was crushed in the wreckage of her berth, from which 1t was impossible to
