Hackett Pleases in
Original ‘Crook’ Play.
A capable interpretation of tnat
progenitor of our present-day crook
playe, “Alias Jimmy Vaulentine” with
its wealth of character studles, was
given by Norman Hackett and his
company at the Lyrie Theater Mon
day night, beginning their last week
of stock in Atlantsa. The play is tech
nically one of the best of Paul Arm
strong's lurid works, and while It
probably lacks the supreme “punch”
that his later plays possess, still it has
an undenjable interest and fascina
tion.
Mr. Hackett plays Jimmy Valentine,
the crook who “goes straight” because
af his love for a girl, Miss Diehl is
the girl, and she succeeds In giving
something of winsomeness and appeal
to a character that is rather negligi
hle and unformed as Paul Armstrong
drew it.
Burton Robbing, as Detective Doyie,
had a sympathetic part that gave him
the opportunit yto work at hig best.
Throughout the play the bits between
him and Mr. Hackett were déliciously
tensce and thrilling. A particular thrill
was give ¢ the dramatie last act, when
Jimmy Valentine conjures up all hig
roguc's art to open a safe in which a
child is locked and suffocating.
W. H. Turner, Frank Ellis and Ed
win Vai, in incidental character bits,
were excellent, “Alias Jimmy Valen
tine” will be on the Lyric boards 2l
weel, with matinees Tuesday, Thurs.
duy und Saturday.
Strong Drama at

Bijou This Week.
Card plavers will find it interesting to

second act of ‘‘The Heart of the
Rockies,” a Western melodrama, which
wus presented last night by Mr., Black
and his aseociate players at the Bijou
Theater before a large and enthusiastic
audience.
Wn “The Heart of the Rockies™ Mr.
Black plays the part of a gambler. it
is one of the best roles Mr, Black has
lad this secason and the u‘:pluuso which
grected his efforts lust night was evi

Miss Marvie Claire, the leading wom

man, were both cast for parts in which
they starred.

Street Funds Available. ;
The 1914 apportionment sheet, with
changes amounting to 316,400, made
during the recent fight against it by
the four insurgent Aldermen, was
gent to Comptroller Goldsmith Tues
day morning. He will apportion the
varfous .funds at once, so the $200,-
000 appropriated for street improve
ments will be immediately available.
The Aldermanic Board concurred in
the passage of the sheet immediately
after its adoption by the General
Council.
No opposition developed to the
sheet when it was offered by Chair
man Humphrey, of the Finance Com
mittee, aside from an objection en
tered by Alderman Maddox, of the
Fifth, to the refusal of the Finance
Committee to incorporate $6,500 for
an engine house in his ward and $5OO
for healers for the Davis street school.
This matier was adjusted by a reso

To Pay Auto Tax
The stool of repentance was occu
pied (o the limit in Secretary of State
Phil Cook's office over in the big
Capltol Tuesday, mostly by remorse
ful ones who had failed to pay their
automobile taxes for the current year,
Under the law enacted by the Leg
islature last sufumer, every machine
in the State, old or new, must have a
new number for this vear, and sald
number was required to be purchased
and attached not later than March 1,
Despite repeated warnings, couplel
with the information that those wno
failed to pay up were subject to a
misdemeanor charge, involving a pos
sible Tine of $l,OOO and imprisonment
for twelve months, the woods still are
full-—or, at least, the highways are—
of automobilists who have not paid
said tax.
Police oftficers began getting after
thesoe recreant ones, good and propeor,
Monday and Tuesday, and the otfice of
the Secretary of State consequentiy
has bee. packed and jamimed since
with parties “begging off.”
The Secretary has been lenient so
far. He says he will clamp the Ilid
down tight within the present wee,
however, and thosz who fail to “come
across” with the special tax between
now and Saturday night may have the
plcasure thereafter of fghting the

NEW YORK, March &.—The u'-:;nx;'
market opened sicady to-day with first
prices showing irregularity, being 3 up
to 6 pointe lower than Monday's «-10.w,‘
but after the call pressure was r-.\brrod‘
on the near months by spot interests
| and a weakening tendency developed,
resulting in March urnnping 10 points tu
12.12; May 9 points to 11.73, and July &
points to 11,74, while other positions
eased off 2 to b points from the opening
range
Liverpool came in glightly befter than
| diue and was partly responsible for the
strengih in the local marekt at the out-’
| set {
The trend of the market continued |
downward during the early afternoon |
through further liquidation by tired
tongs, who became impatience in wait
ing for the predicted advance in values,
' On the break March struck 12.19, while
' May reached 11.66 and July 11.67. Spot
people were credited with furnishing |
most of the contracts. |
Offerings met slow and scattered de
mand, as it was rather surprising to see
Murch offered in such a free manner, es- t
pecially in the face of continued strong |
spots and the belief that there is a large |
short inu®est in the spot option, hut the !
character of sales, especially on a rlull’
market, gave rise to the belief that the
so-called shori interest was merely a
bluff worked on the smaller fry by the
larger interests wino were still long of
March and wanted to sustain the
premium in order to get out of the
month at higher values. It was the be- |
lief of the majority that the long in- |
terest, or at least the largest portion of |
it, had been liquidated prior to March
notice day,
At the close the market was barely
steady, with prices at a net decline of
11 to 18 points from the final quotations
of Monday.

DAILY COTTON LETTER |
NEW ORLEANS, Mch, 8.-- l.iverpool!
wag again good with futures about 2|
points better than due; spots 1 point
lower; sales 8,000 bules. New York,
however, weakened again from the start,
'which caused a coresponding decline
| here. The market is so narrow that a
Jittie =elling by scalpers on the New
York tendency causes decline., All that
one hears in explanation of the present
easiness is that New York is against it
Still this depression in futures can hard
1y be carried further unless spots give |
way. {
Very much, if not all, depends on the‘
action of spot-holders. The cotton ten
dered here on March was found of good
serviceable quality, and has been readily
worlied off to consumers. ¥Friday's sta
tistics should be distinctly bullish, Ex
| ports and loss in stock are large. Many |
look (o politics for an explanation of tnei
!prvsmn casiness, but even in this di
| rection there seems no good reason for!
la decline in the value of cotton. It is|
]Hk-‘h‘ that in case of intervention inl
Mexico, labor and planting conditions in
parts of Texas would be distributed lndl
that lots of low cotton would be used |
for army needs.
The map indicates fair and continued
cold weather in Alabama and the Atlan.
ties: cloudy in the west of the beit: un- |
settled, colder and rain in the western |
| States l
! Washington advises that he final gin
ners' report on March 20 will give sep~!
arately the production of linters,
The constantly bearish trend of the
contract markets and absence of all en
couraging support is at last having a
ltle effect on spots. A few smaller Hsts‘
of lower cotton are offering at conces
sfonis, but the bulk of holding still seemsl
unaffected. About 1,600 bales were sold
here vesterday after the close.
i The contract market is idle around

ADYGRAIN NOTES bm bmama
B. W, Snow, in his March report, says
that in normal years any uattempt to re
port condition of winter wheat at this
date is useless, but this year the char
acter of the winter wheat has been such
as to afford reasonable opportunity for
crop observation. At this rate the crnp‘
is generally under a good snow cover
ing, which has afforded protection dur- |
ing the only trying weather experienced
since the crop was seeded.
The average condition when the crop
went under ghe snow is reported at 07.1,
which may bhe regarded as prnctiraii,\"
perfect and is 2 points higher than it
was reported on December 1, 1012, Wht-!
consin and Towa are the enly States
showing any crop impairment, al(hnu%h;
other States ranging between 02 and 101
in Oregon. |
