To Duscuss Plans to Fitfht
the Convict Lease
System
The committee behind the propaganda
to take the convicts of the state out of
the mines, turpentine and lumber camps—
In other words, to break up the lease
system in case the state is wrong In its
contention that there is no lease system
in which the state is engaged—will meet
Monday at 10 o’clock in the auditorium
of the Chamber of Commerce.
Captain White, who is chairman of the
committee, stated yesterday that he had
enough assurances of a large attendance
to make him certaiif that every section of
the state would be well represented. Plans
will be discussed having for their object
the. active initiation of the fight. A bill
will be prepared for introduction at the
next regular session of the legislature,
and if the bill is enacted into law a con
stitutional amendment will probably be
submitted to the people.
The meeting of the committee will lie
a business meeting because it is consid
| ered certain that the question of tinances
; will be injected. The chairman of the
I publicity committee, David Holt, has been
instructed by his committee to make
known to the campaign committee that
"bricks cannot be made without straw.”
A campaign of general publicity through
tho columns of the rural press will be
w a ged.
Other matters of importance will be
considered.
Reuben F. Kolb has already appointed
Walter Richardson, a young Montgom
ery attorney, and will later select a
Birmingham manager. Sam P. Ken
nedy, clerk of the state railroad com
mission, will pilot Charles Henderson's
campaign for the governorship. P. B.
Miles will probably manage Walter D.
Seed’s campaign. He was chief clerk
to Mr. Seed when that gentleman was
state treasurer, and he managed Mr.
Seed’s successful campaign for lieuten
ant governor.
Nesbitt or Me Neel?
It was reported yesterday that
friends of Mr. Comer would endeavor
to persuade W. D. Nesbitt to undertake
the management of the Comer cam
paign, despite his declination to serve
when thrust into command sometime
ago. It is generally understood that
John D. McNeel, private secretary to
Mr. Comer when ho was governor, and
until recently private secretary to Gov
ernor O’Neal, expects to manage Mr.
Comer’s campaign. rt is anticipated
that a definite statement will be issued
during the current week.
John H. Wallace, Jr., informally
states freely that lie is a candidate, but
has never yet formally made an an
nouncement of his plan to go after the
gubernatorial nomination. There his
been no discussion of a manager of his
campaign should be determine form
ally to enter the race.
Thomas F. Kilby of Anniston, an
j nouncod candidate for lieutenant gov
! ernor. and who, it is generally ad
! mitted, will win even should opposition
I be developed, will have no campaign
manager. He has authorized a state
ment to that effect.
Is Kumpe Ambitious?
Political gossip is not being confined
exclusively to the gubernatorial situa
tion. There is certain pointed discus
sion in regard to impending congres
sional struggles. For it begins to ap
pear that i here will he other congres
sional fights of statewide interest than

rage in the sixth district between Wil
liam B. Bankhead of Jasper and Wil
liam B. Oliver of Tuscaloosa.
Should Congressman Richardson re
tire at the conclusion of his present
term, it is a practical certainty that
Judge E. B. Almon, speaker of the Ala
bama house, would announce his candi
dacy for the position. And it is not a
certainty that he would remain out of
the race even should Judge Richard
son determine to seek the berth again.
11 is reported, however, that Judge
Almon would have serious opposition
even should Congressman Richardson
retire. It is said that the warm sup
porters of Mr. Richardson are endeav
oring to persuade Judge J. C. Kumpe
of Moulton to groom himself for the
race. The struggle between Judge Al
rnon and Judge Kumpe, should it be
developed, would be one of the most
spectacular, for both men are strong,
with strong connections, and both are
hard and experienced lighters in poli
tical campaigns.
Burnett Opposition Developing
It is said to be a practical certainty
that John I* Burnett will have demo
cratic opposition next year. It was re
ported, in the first place, that Judge J.
C. Blackwood would be his opponent,
but scarcely had the rumor got into
circulation than that gentleman an
nounced himself prepared to retire from
politics. But that Mr. Burnett will have
[to overcome a democrat as well as a
! republican, is said to be a foregone
conclusion. It Is understood that there
Is widespread regret in the seventh
because of Burnett’s refusal to accept
the chairmanship of the public build
ings committee, considered one of the
most important in Congress, and whicli
it is probable will be tendered to no
other Alabamian in a score of years.
It is said that Hugh Dent, second
district congressman, will have oppo
sition in the next campaign and that
it will be more formidable even than
that which he overcame in the last
fight. Temple Selbies, solicitor of
Montgomery county, and one of the
strong men of the second, Is said to be
laying plans to tackle the fiery young
representative and eloquent orator.
Fronts After Blackmon
TTn In the fourth, it is generally said
to l»e true that Congressman Fred
Blackmon will have oppositnon. It is
understood that the prohibitionists are
growing restless and are preparing to
get busy. Up to the present time no
candidate has been groomed with whom
the* phohis can confront Mr. Blackmon,
but the future Richmond, It la reported,
will hail from Selma.
It Is alleged that the “purists” are
determined to get the scalp of Mr
Blackmon because of his opposition to
the Webb anti-shipping bill. As is re
membered, Mr. Blackmon and Mr. Dent
alone of the Alabama delegation voted
against this measure. Mr. Blackmon
has explained that ho followed his be
lief which amounted to a conviction
that tho bill was unconstitutional. Thu
constitutionality of the measure has
not been as yet tested.

the writer of the article in question was

LIFE OF NERO IS
BRIEFLY SKETCHED
History of the Emperor Who Caused
Rome’s Downfall Pictured in
“Quo Vadis** at Bijou
Neio, around whose reign (A. D. 54-fS)
or rather the last four years of it, Henryk
Sienkiewicz constructed the story of “Quo
Vadis*' the photo-dramatic presenta
tion of which is just now attracting much
attention, was the son of Gnaeus Domi
tius Ahenobrabus and Agrippina the
younger. Nero's name was originally L».
Domltius Ahenobarbus. His father died
when Nero was scarcely three years old.
In the previous year (39), his mother had
been banished by order of her brother
Caligula on a charge of treasonable con
spiiacy, and Nero, thus early deprived of
both parents, found shelter in the house
of his aunt Domltla. where two slaves, a
barber and a dancer, began his training.
Recalled from banishment by Emperor
C’audius, Agrippina spent the next 13
years in the determined struggle to win
for Nero the throne which had been pre
dicted for him. Her first decisive suc
cess was gained in 4S by the disgrace and
execution of the wife of Claudius and her
position was further strengthened when a
year later she herself became the wife
of Claudius and at the same time was
recognized as consort by the government.
The Roman populace already looked
with favor on Nero as the grandson of
Germanicus, but in 50 his claims ob
tained formal recognition from Claudius
himself, who adopted him under the title
of Nero Claudius Caesar Drusus Germani
cus. The next year, December 15, 51,
Nero was introduced to the senate by
#Cl£>udius and that body invested him with
'prbcor.sular honors and conferred on him
the title of princeps Juventutis. Noro was
immediately admitted as an evtraordinary
member of the great priestly colleges;
his name included ill their prayers for
the gaiety of the emperor and his house;
at the games in the circus his appearance
in triumphal dress contrasted significant
ly with the simple toga worn by Britan*
nicus.
The next two years were active ones
for Agrippina. She succeeded in ban
ishing a number of the leading partisans
of Britannicus. while many more were
put to death.
In his sixteenth year Nero married Oc
tavia, daughter of Claudius, the alliance
bringing him still closer to the coveted
throne, bur. not close enough for his
scheming mother whose anxiety to see
him upon It led her to poison her mon*
arch husband Claudiul, accomplishing tho
deed in the absence of the emperor’s
usual bodyguard, whereupon Nero was
presented to the pretorlan troops, who
saluted him as sovereign, and the sen
ate who invested him with all the honors,
titles and powers of emperor.
The first five years of the reign of
Nero i loved a great success. On his ac
cession he promised to rule in accordance
with the maxims of Augustus, And his
further policy of indulging his tastes for
the social life of Rome, while the actual
burden of the government Was left to tlv*
administration, suited that body perfectly.
Tl>is s-t&to of affairs, however, did not
suit Nero’s ambitious mother, who, to
him on. threatened to espouse the cause
of Britannicus. Nero retaliated by pois
oning Britannicus. in 68 Nero became
enslaved by Poppaea. a highborn, wealthy
and accomplished woman who wu» re
solved to become his wife, and to that
end set to work to remove the obstacles
in the matrimonial and other paths.
Arousing Nero's jealousy and fear, she
induced him to seek the death of his
mother, and to aid him in this matrtcidal
deed, invited Agrippina to visit Baiae.
The journey was made in a vessel so con
structed that at a given signal it would
ccllapse, but when this occurred Agrip
plnl saved herself by swimming. Later,
a body of soldiers surrounded her country
house in which she had sought refuge
and shot her to death in her own bed
chamber.
Then came the murder of his wife. Oc
taviu, who was put to death on the Island
of Fandateria.
The burning of Rome, so realistically
reproduced in the "Quo Vadts’*’ pictures,
actually took place on the isth of June,
64 A. D. It started in some wooden
booths near the Circus Maximus and
spreao rapidly. After burning for six
days It suddenly started afresh in the
northern quarter of the city and desolated
the region of the Circus. Flaminlus and
the Via Lata, and by the time it was
finally quenched only four of the 11 dis
tricts of the city retained untouched.
Three had been utterly destroyed and
seven reduced to ruins. The conflagra
tion is said by all authorities to have
been caused by Nero.
Nero, the last of the Julio-Claudian
Mne, has been handed down to posterity
as the incarnation of monstrous vices and
fantastic luxuries, but his wild excesses
scarcely affected the prosperity of the em
pire under his Veign.
“QUO VADIS” WILL BE
SHOWN AT THE BIJOU
Bijou Opened for This Week Especial
ly to Present Drama to the Peo
ple of Birmingham.
The Kleine-Clnes photo drama of “Quo
Vadis?’’ of which glowing accounts have
been circulated since its initial exhibition
at the Astor theatre. New York city, has
been booked for an engagement at the
Bijou theatre all this week, with a mati
nee daily at 2:30 and a performance
: nightly at 8:30.
‘Quo Vadis" as projected on the
screen from films which were made in
Rome, Italy, visualizes in historically cor
rect detail Ilenryk Stenkiewicz's romance
of the final years of the reign of Nero.
The management claims that the Cines
photo-drama plant in Rome was put to
the expenditure of more than $160,000 for
the building of the massive scenes and
the making of elaborate costumes of the
period in which to clothe the 3500 and
more actors who enacted again the scenes
so graphically pictured by the pen of
the famous Russian novelist.
“Quo Vadis” the story and “Quo
Vadis?” on tl\£ stage has thrilled audi
ences in every part of the civilized world.
It is an absorbing romance that has won
for its author lasting fame in literature.
The many exciting scenes in the book
have been reproduced in the pictures of
“Quo Vadis?” which are recorded on
eight reels, each of which is more than
9000 feet in length, making an entertain
ment that runs for two hours and a half.
"Quo Vadis” will be on view daily
(matinee and night) until further notice.
Reserved seats for any of the afternoon
or evening performances may be secured
now at popular prices—25 and 50 cents.
Reserved seats for the various per
formances will be placed on sale at the
Bijou box office Monday morning. So
great was the interest in the pictures in
Atlanta that they were held over there
a second week and the entire capacity
of the theatre was sold in advance for
every performance for the second week.
NEW VAUDEVILLE ACT
HEADS ORPHEUM BILL
Children Impersonate Famous Actors
on Stage—Popular Theatre Of
fers an Unusual Attraction
The "Headliner" for this week at the
Orphotim is William J. Dooley s musical
comedy sketch, "The Lawn Party," in
which nearly a dozen talented children
appear in impersonations of famous ac
tors, including such people as George M.
Cohan, Bessie Clifford, Dave W arfleld
and Caruso. Each of the children im
personates a famous character, and it is
said that they give a performance that is
remarkable. A child tenor of great prom
ise is Caruso, while a wonderful little
actor appears as Warfield, with his violin.
Dancing, singing and acting constitute j
the act, which is the highest priced that!
has been to the Orpheum this year. It is,
almost a complete vaudeville show in i
itself.
Four other numbers will he offered,
among them the Bramsons, a European ,
hoop rolling act, including an illuminated
specialty in hoop handling.
No sister team has been here this sea- j
son, and Birmingham is very partial to I
that class of vaudeville, so a team of
girls, The Grace Sisters, was secured, ,
and they are said to be excellent in their i
songs and costumes and have ability to
dance.
No act takes better in Birmingham than i
a good comedian with a monolog, eccen
tric songs and probably a dance step or
two. Dan Delmar is said to be such a
comedian. He will prove a feature of the
bill if be lives up to the reputation he.
has established e’3ewhere for cleverness.
Mennetti and Astella are the fifth mem
bers of the bill, and they are athletes of
ability, presenting an act called “Those
Cruel Acrobats," in which they perform
a series of astonishing tricks.
There will be two reels of comedy or!
educational motion pictures, and musical j
programme by Prof. Caiman’s orches- I
tra. The Orpheum offers a matinee daily j
at 2:30 and two performances nightly, at |
7:30 and 9 o’clock, with reserved seats for j
the first performance at night and for |
the Saturday matinee. The box seats are;
in great demand, and avc growing more
popular every day, as they are unusually |
cool and comfortable.
“THE MERRY WHIRL”
AT THE MAJESTIC
Marjorie Lake Is the Star—Many !
Features to Please the Audiences
This Week
With Marjorie Lake as the star, and
what is claimed to he a good company
supporting her. “The Merry Whirl” comes
to the Majestic this week, commencing
with a Monday matinee. There will be a
performance every afternoon at 2:30 and
two performances nightly, at 7:30 and 1)
o’clock, with reserved seats for the first
show at night and the Saturday matinee.
The Majestic is cooled with many fans
and is always at a comfortable temper
ature.
The Nashville Banner thinks exceeding
ly well of “The Merry Whirl,” having
the following to say in regard to the
musical comedy:
“Standing room was at a premium
Monday night at the Princess when ‘The
Merry Whirl,' a musical comedy in cap
sule form, was presented, with Miss Mar
jorie Lake in the leading role. Although
there is scarcely a thread of plot, there I
arc any number of catchy songs and other
entertaining features that keep the enter
tainment going in a manner to delight
the audience.
“Miss Lake as ‘Fifl,’ from Gay Paree.
does some excellent singing that thor
oughly captivates the audience. She pos
sesses a baritone voice that is most re
markable. When she first appeared with
her deep tones expanded to their fullest
powers, she had the audience guessing
whether ‘she’ was a man giving an imi
tation of Julian Eltinge, or a woman with
an unusual gift of song, but when Miss I
Lake finally gave a few trills in a highly
feminine voice and then bowed herself off
the stage without any awkward trips on
account of Mgh-heel«d slippers, the au
dience was sure ‘she* was just the grace
ful. wonderful singer and actress that
she is.
“While Miss Lake is a good part of the
show, there are others who contribute
not a little to the fun. and those are:
Lew Miller, Harry Loader and Sol H.
Carter, in the roles respectively of two
German brewers and a wealthy Hebrew,
who are on a visit to the Paris exposi
tion. Their adventures form a series of
laugh-making incidents. Miss Effice
George, as Birdie McSorley, the $10,000
beauty, is a considerable factor in fur
nishing surprises for the aforementioned
trio. Home excellent dancing by the pret
ty chorus girls and specialties are good
features.
“The scenic effects are among the best
seen on a local vaudeville stage, some
unique and novel arrangements being
shown. ”
