CONGRESS RESTLESS
AND LEADERS WANT
Underwood Says
Complete W'
More D‘
yr than
» x Con
^a'1 era in
an rarnest
.,islative pro
vnment may be
Mr ority Leader
a conference with
T*i , announc'd ’hat in his
opinio. louse can • omplete its
work o* .r necessary appropriation
bills and A? other legislation which the
President has insisted upon long be
fore July 1.
The Senat steering < -mmittee held
m meeting and discussed the possibili
ties of adjournment. It <ame to no de
cision, however, except as to the ap
pointment of a subcommittee which will
be named by Chairman Kern to confer
with House* leaders later in the week
on this and on the measures that must
be passed before the session ends.
Although Senator Kern was hopeful
tonight that the programme can be
completed by July 10. other democratic*
leaders were not inclined to share this
view, and said that if the Panama canal
tolls repeal bill, the antitrust hill and
the rflral credits bill and the usual
appropriation bills are to he put
through the Senate, adjournment can
not possibly be arranged before August
1. These measures made lip the "pro
gramme" which Mr. Underwood an
nounced the House could pass in time.
Interested in Election
Members of all parties in boih
houses are greatly interested in tin*
outcome of the November elections,
however, and democratic leaders count
on republican and progressive support
to any plan which would Insure a rapid
disposal of business and an early get
>. away.
' In the Senate the fight over the tolls
t*vpcal bill can he said hardly t• * have
started. It was the business before
the Senate today for little longer than
en hour, and present indications are j
that it will not be taken up in earnest
With day-long devotion to it exclu
sively until next week. The most opti
mistic senators have predicted a two
weeks’ debate on this subject alone,
and it is possible that the vote will
Hot he taken for three weeks.
The antitrust hill lias not been re
ported to the Senate. It has been ap
proved by h subcommittee of the in
terstate commerce committee, but sev
eral hearings are yet to be given to
interested parties and a report is not
looked for for at least 10 days. After
itb appearance many senators expect
to see a debate of six weeks or two
months on its proposed drastic provis
ions. If these predictions are correct,
consideration of these two subjects
alone would keep the Senate in session
until after July 1.
War Not Imminent
In the discussion of a cessation of
congressional labors for the summer
the question of sudden Mexican devel
opments has not been overlooked.
In the belief of many democratic
leaders in the Senate, danger of war is
not imminent. If there were reasons to
tear war, however, when Congress ap
*—~pioached the end of its work, a recess
could he taken by resolution of both
houses until next fall.
There was some talk today among
democratic senators of a party con
ference on the tolls repeal bill. Some
leaders are understood to favor a con
ference of this sort with the hope that
thereby the sentiment of a majority of
the party in the Senate can he ascer
tained and made public. Differences in
the party could he aried in the con
ference and agreement might he secured
as to the vote on amendments which
have been proposed and the party
might present a more nearly solid front
111 the Senate.
Senator Simmons, leader of the forces
advocating repeal, said to night that
be did not believe such a conference
would he called. The question may be
/taken up by the steering committee
Wednesday.

AMUSEMENTS
At the Lyric
This week's bill at the Lyric vaudeville
theatre is above the average. There are
no medium acts. One or two are very
ordinary and two or three are excep
tionally attractive.
Following its usual plan of a bill with
two or three headliners, the Lyric yes
terday entertained two large audiences
with John F. Conroy and his model div
ing girls, Valerie Bergere and her com
1 pany in a one-a< t playlet and dainty lit
tle Florence Tempest, assisted by her
company. Fdwin George as a comedian
juggler and Correlll and Gllette as comed
ian acrobats came in for second honors,
both acts containing some clever feats,
Florence Tempest is a duinty little
maiden that has about 90 per cent of the
audience in the first part of her act think
, ing she is a boy, but no matter what
they thought about her sex they had
no doubts about her singing. She is of a
solo type not seen at the Lyric in weeks
and her songs are very, very refreshing.
As for her dancing. Oh, well! she car
dance and the fussy little gown she wears
Is nothing if not daring. Ralph O’Brien
and Miss Tempest execute something ot
the light fantastic that is well worth see
ing.
John F. Conroy, who claims to be th*
world's greatest life saver, has a phy
sical-aquatic act which closes the hill Ir
a blaze of glory. Conroy and both o
his assistants are expert divers amj i;
the human race was developed on a pai
physically the doctors could go out o:
business. This is the first high clas:
aquatic aid at the Lyric in sometime ani
will prove a big drawing card.
Valerie Bergere and her company por
trayed a one-act drama, which- contains*
some very good acting, but the weather'
too hot and vaudeville audience is usuall:
not in the mood to get enthusiastic ove
too much “deep stuff." "A Bowery Cam
ille" Is the title of the drama whic
bursts right into an extremely tense situ
uation and wallows there until the cur
tain drops. If Miss Bergere did not g<
as much appreciation as she deserve
it was the fault of her vehicle and no
herself and company.
The A Ido Brothers put on a gymnast!
and comedy act, Mason and Murray ar
billed as just vaudeville and Corelli an
Gillette have a turn with some goo
comedy. The motion pictures are of th
usual Lyric standard. The bill will h
given every afternoon and night of thi
week. R. R. S.
At the Orpheum
A vaudeville bill that shows' a strikln
improvement over any that have bee
offered since the inauguration of th
split-week at the Orpheum is presente
for Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday f

the house will enjoy the acts this weel

unseen stunts in holding, carrying ar
flying when using the teeth as the meat
of holding on. Of Us kind it 1h decided!
the best act that has been seen in Bi
mingham for sometime.

stunt, showing a stage at rehearsal tim
are good, and the dialogue is cleve

contends that the municipally owned
water plant is losing $10,000 annually.
The Gulf States Steel company yes
terday announced a donation of $600
to be used in the construction of a

T. W. DICKINSON IS
IN FAVOR OF COMER
T. \V. Dickinson, who is connected with
the Southern Garage company, yesterday
Issued the following signed statement:
“To the Miners of Alabama:
“On Monday, May 11. will be held a
primary election to nominate our next
governor, the result of which depends
more or less on you as voters. I have
lived and worked along side of you for
over a quarter of a century, am known
by scores of you as having helped ta
fight your battles in times of trouble
without fear or favor, ot\hope of reward,
have always,‘toted’ fair in every position
I may have held amongst you.
“I think you will believe me when 1 tell
you that 1 know of my own knowledge
that the miner has no better or truer
friend than B. B. Comer and that it will
serve our interests best to vote for him
next Monday. I have talked with quite
a number of my fellow miners during
the last few months and the only op
position I find is with a very small frac
tion of what I might term the unthinking
part of our class.
“On the other hand, as a general rule,
the law abiding, conservative miners are
strongly in favor of Mr. Comer as our
next governor.
“They have implicit confidence in his
integrity, that he will always do his duty
honestly and fearlessly; that he will not
make or allow any state official to make
any questionable trade with railroads or
any other interests, but will give the
whole of the people his best efforts to
make this old state of ours peaceful and
prosperous. Very respectfully,
“T. W. DICKINSON.”

the money of John D. Rocu.
“covered with the blood and tears

Colorado strike.’’
The debate was on an amendment t<
the agricultural appropriation bill, whicl
was pending when the Senate adjourne<
for the day. This amendment, reportec
by the agricultural committee, propose<
an appropriation of $600,000, double th

board, to which Mr. Rockefeller ha;
gi ven millions of dollars, pays a porlio
of the salaries of 600 government em

Senator Vardman of Mississippi sug

frftm Senator John Sharp Williams th'
assertion that “the Waters-Pierce Oi

Senator Kenyon insisted that the fed
