“Pavlowa Gavotte”
Enjoyable
After all the gymnastics, the illusions,
the choruses, the funmaking and inter
esting antics of local young people in the
fifteenth annual society circus, at the
Jefferson theatre last night, the one fea
ture of a thoroughly enjoyable perform
ance that lingers to the memory is the
"Pavlowa Gavotte.** as done by Miss Fay
Winn and Holden Naff. This esthetic
little dance was done to perfection.
But there were other things to the
Society Circus besides this delightful
dance number. There were acts of mani
fold character—all interesting and all re
flecting credit on the stage directorship
of Dr. James E. Hodman and his corps
of assistants.
As usual with the Society Circus 1t
starts off with gymnastics—which is quite
natural as the performance is fostered by
the Birmingham Athletic club. The first
number was that of the “Flying Rings,
a quartet composed of Read Berry,
Spencer and Chairsell. From these young
men startling “stunts" were expected and
the audience was not disappointed.
For the second number "kidlets.” on
roller skates provided much amusement
in the “Juvenile Skating Clowns." under
the personal direction of Z. Nespor. it
was a very good act.
'I ho hand balancing turn of Elmer Hein*
and Edward Spencer was a splendid ex
hibition of muscular work. The grace
of Mr. Heinz was much admired as lie
performed hair-raising feats with seem
ing ease. The trapeze work of Herbert
Cobbs and Ed Chairsell in the fourth
number also was on the sensational or
der and was well received by the audi
ence.
One of the really Interesting numbers
on the lengthy bill was the basketball
drill of a squad of youngsters under the
direction of /. Nespor. This was very i
good. The “Turabo” troupe of acrobats
and tlie “Roman Ladder Gymnasts" fol
lowed. and both turns were meritorious
The end of the first part of the circus
was “The Awakening of the Dolls," a
nrvtlty act in which Elmer Heinz and
P-illv Cobbs were in stehar roles. The

FARMERS RESPONSIBLE
FOR HIGH COST OF LIVING,
DECLARES VANDERLIP
New York, April 27.— Ignorance and in
efficiency among the country's farmers,
rather than big business, make up the
fundamental cause of the high cost of
living, Frank A. Vanderlip, president of
the National City Hank, declared at a
dinner of the America*) Cotton Manufac
turers’ association here'tonight. I .and is
being utilized with but 40 per cent of effi
ciency, yet the farmer is not held culp
able—he is not answerable to society, Mr.
Vanderlip said, as *s the railroad mana
ger who produces anything less than 100
per cent.
Mr. Vanderlip deprecated what he al
luded to as the increasing bonds of ham
pering regulations under which business
is being placed by law. As a means of
obtaining relief for what he said is an
existing business depression, he urged a
campaign of education to have public
opinion based on "correct economic prin
ciples."
Discussing the cotton industry, Mr.
Vanderlip said the department of agri
culture "seems to he the one arm of
our government truly devoted to upbuild
ing an intelligent development of our re
sources. This department has shown," he
said, “what a shamefully small average
yield” there is of cotton in the Tnited
States as compared with certain other
countries.
“I believe there is no more important
service than you men who are engaged in
the cotton manufacturing business can
perform looking toward the development
of the cotton indsutry than to do all you
can to awaken public opinion to the need
for efficient methods of cotton cultiva
tion,'* he asserted. “We are today a
nation grown critical of business meth
ods and resentful of business accomplish
ment. By far the greater part of gov
ernment energies, as related to business,
are directed toward destruction rather
than constructive and creative ends.
“Insofar as business is responsible
for its conduct, it will not do to say
that corporation heads are the represen
tatives of publicly subscribed capital and
are therefore subject, -n tlie interests of
society, to a surveillance that applies
only to the affairs of a public corpora
tion, while farmers represent only per
sonal investment and may be left to
work out with such ignorance or intelli
gence as they choose to bring to bear
the conduct of their own affairs.”
BIRMINGHAM GAINS 33,469
INHABITANTS SINCE 1910
Birmingham will have a population of
166,154 on July 1, according to a bulle
tin just issued from the department of
commerce, bureau of the census. This
s an increase of 33,469 since the taking
tlie last census in 1910. The figures
show that Birmingham has gained
’689 Inhabitants on Atlanta, and should
)otli cities maintain their percentage of
ncrease until the taking of the census^
n 1920 Birmingham's population will be ,
>1,982 more than that of the Georgia i
•ity. The population of the two cities
ft'ill he; Birmingham, 249,824; Atlanta,
Ml,842. The figures are based on the
issumption that both cities will main
ain their present rate of increase.
Atlanta’s population for July 1 is es
imated at 179,292. This will be an in
reasc in four years of 14,663. Memphis
ihowed an increase of only 12,126 In four
ears' time, her popuration being *esti
nated at 143,231. Dallas showed a gain
of 19,882 and San Antonio a gain of 18,
449.
The figures for Houston were not
given. New Orleans shows a gain of
22.112, her population being estimated
at 361.221.
An interesting part of the figures es
timating tlie population of states is
that Birmingham furnished about one
fourth of Alabama's gain. The gain in
the population of Alabama in four
^ears was 131,852, while Birmingham
showed a gain of 33,469. Alabama's
population on July 1 will be 2,269,945.
Among the cities of the larger class,
New York shows a gain in population
of 566,664, now having 5,333,537 inhab
itants. Chicago ranks second with 2,393,
325, showing a gain of 208,042. Phila
delphia conics next with a population
estimated at 1,657,810, a gain of 10S,
802 in four years.
The estimated population for the en
tire United States on July 1 is 109.
021,992. The gain in four years is over
7,000,000.
-oft shoe dancing of Mr. Cobbs and the
■< iowning" of Mr. Heinz met with much
favor.
In part two of the circus the dancing
md singing started. Miss Orline Bar
ic, t was the first of the “songbirds" to
ippeur in a delightful number enlitleu
'Low's Melody," aided and abetted by a
•horus of debutantes. For an encore
lumber Miss Barnett sang “Campmeeting
rime." with the same chorus anil the ad
lition of several members of the “Boys'
bmd." Miss Barnett was presented with
i large bouquet of flowers following her
Tt'orts.
Mr. and Mrs. T. K. Lee then gave an
exhibition of shooting that was little
ihort of marvelous, and this act was
allowed by the Tennessee Coal. Iron and
tail road company's mate chorus in sev
r. 1 vocal selections under the direc-i
ion of Stephen AIlsop.
Hollowing the splendid singing of the i
mile chorus came “Artistic Modern Dani
il?;." in two numbers. The first was an
icrobatiC dance by Miss Edna Thomas
nd Tom Pankey, and the second was
he “Pavlowa Gavotte.'' A violin solo by
rheodore Lewinsohn filled the time be
v.een the next act which was "Creation."
n original illusion conceived and pro*
I need by Dr. James E. Dcdman. Master
Reginald Thomas. “The Chorister Boy,"
hen sang two songs and the circus ended
vith the “Tango Double Sextette," in
vbich “Mary Jane." by Miss Jessie Mae
Vrkins, was the feature. The last nutn
ier was of particular merit and was fit
ing to close what was said to be the
nest successful society circus ever con
lucted by the Birmingham Athletic club.
A large and fashionable audience wit
icsscd the performance and was generous
n its applause. There is one more per

I HUNDLEY TALKS OF
Finds Strong Effort Being
Made to Unite On Roose
velt for President
Next Time
Judge Oscar R. Hundley returned
from New York last night after ar
absence of two weeks, during whicl
time he had an opportunity of dis
cussing with various public* men pres
ent conditions both politically ami
commercially. Hi response to an inqury
by a representative of The Age-Her
ald .fudge Hundley said: ‘in a bus!
ness way, New York generally is noi
especially optimistic. Wall street seem!
to have a case of the ‘doleful dumps
but you know Wall street always gets
that way when business and political
conditions do not go to suit it.
‘‘Money is plentiful in New York, ol
course, as it is in other parts of the
country*, but investors are getting more
cautious and are rather in a waiting
attitude. They are inclined to criticize
President Wilson's attitude in relation
to trust legislation, contending that he
is going too far and is hurting genera!
business.
"The Mexican war, of course, is the
theme of much discussion among all
classes of people, in the social clubs,
tlie political clubs and the cafes. It
seems to lie the uppermost thought in
everybody's mind, and while some peo
ple deprecate the commencement of
armed hostilities with Mexico, yet the
patriotic spirit which permeates the
breast of every loyal American has
aroused the people to an earnest sup
port of F’resident Wilson in the posi
tion he has now taken. Many people
regard this unfortunate condition as
one placed upon the Wilson adminis
tration by the weak and vacillating
policy of President Taft. They say
truthfully that Madero was not only
the constitutionally elected President
of Mexico, but was the choice of the
majority of the Mexican people and
when lie found it impossible to pro
tect the lives and property of Ameri
can citizens our country should have
immediately backed him up with arms
and men to sustain his constitutional
government: but Taft did not grasp
the situation as he should and viewing
alone his early retirement from office,
simply* dumped the whole matter upon
W iIson's administration. Unless some
peace arrangement is early made, from
what T could learn, there is grave fear
that the war will be a long and bloody
one.”
Asked as to what discussion, If any,
he heard in relation to the next pres
idential campaign, Judge Hundley said:
“I was in consultation both with prom
inent republicans xmd progressives and
F find that there is a determined and
persistent effort at work in both par
ties to secure the nomination of Col
onel Roosevelt as the standard bearer
of both the progressive and repub
lican parties in the next campaign.
This effort. 1 truly believe, is going
to result in tlie desired end. namely:
The renomination of Colonel Roosevelt
by a union of all the interests opposed
to the democratic party. The war with
Mexico will probably cause a cessation
of these efforts for the moment, for
it is not known as yet what altitude
Colonel Roosevelt will bear toward the
war with Mexico. Fvery politician and
prominent man in New York seems to
he on the qul vivie ns to what Colonel
Roosevelt will do. feeling that what
ever he does or Hay# will command the
immediate attention of the nation.
“I also found the woman suffrage
movement in New York especially
strong. I addressed a gathering in New
York by invitation to speak generally
upon any subject that 1 might choose,
and while 1 did not speak upon suf
frage or mention it in my speech, one
of the speakers who preceded me in
cidentally alluded to it and met with
an almost unanimous response from the
audience. 1 talked to many newspaper
men and women about this question and
none of them seemed to have a shadow
of a doubt as to the result in New
York state and in fact in the whole
country In time.
“I came hack from New York as far
as Atlanta with Mr. Frank Mnnsey of
Munsey’s Magazine, and he thinks that
it is only a matter of five or ten years
when the whole country* will grant
votes to women.”

Dan Randolph a Faithful Servant
A well loved and familiar figure often
seen in Loveman, Joseph & Loeb's store
was that of an old darkey' with a grey
ish yellow beard and bright eyes. Like
many other darkies of the old school,
he never knew his age, but he must have
been past 70, despite his remarkably
steady gait. “Uncle Dan” was recognized
by all as the oldest employe, and a man
agreeable and accommodating at all
times. He wqs in the private employ ol
A. B. Loveman for 18 years, and when
Mr. Loveman, In 1887. came from Greens
boro, Hale county, Ala., Dan, like the
faithful servant he was, accompanied
him. driving through the country with
his horse surrey. He then served in the
store on Second avenue as a delivery
man, and subsequently a store porter.
When the store progressed. Dan did, too.
They moved to their present quarters
where Dan was promoted to head portei-.
and shortly afterwards became a night
watchman along with others. He served
in this capacity, sleeping always in the
store, until his declining years. Until the
end, he carried the store key for he was
trusted implicitly, but only justifiably
so. Because of his illness In the past
few years he was not required to dc
regular work, but has always received
regular pay. ‘‘Uncle Dan” will b<
| mourned far and wide, as he was an
| honest, upright and kood darkey, and
1 a faithful servant.
