Frank Daniels Comiue

The world loves to laugh, and it certain
ly would appear that Frank Daniels was
put upon this sphere to satisfy this incllna-
ton of the human race. All theater-go
ers will be glad to know that this quaint
and droll comedian is coming again to the
theater on Thursday night with his really
bright and interesting comedy, fLlttle
Puck, and his clever company Of eccentric
comedians and pretty girls. The comedy
has been replenished this season with a
hundred new features-neW music and
songs from the latest new comic operas
new dances from the burlesques, and new
and ludicrous scenes, situations and say
1ngs, conceived by Mr.. Daniels himself
No comedian Of these times lis as clever at
this sort of work as Frank Daniels. In the
construction of farcical incidents and the
introduction Of original and catchy say
lngs, ne hardly has competitor.
Mr.. Daniels has again this season the
valuable aid of that bright little comedy
actress, Miss Bessie Samson, who has been
identified with Little Puck from the
first, and whose well directed efforts have
always been so satisfactory. The balance
Of the supporting company, however, is
nearly new. Mr.. Bert Coote, who was last
season leading comedian with Jarbeau,
this season plays Billy, the wayward son,
and Tony Williams one of the best Of
singers and dancers, this year plays Slug
gers the butler. Robert Evans, Robert e.

Large Sums.
V1oroR1A, B. q, May 18. NY Frederick
George Walker, a frisky society man, law
yer and real estate investor, who felt some
what embarrassed when asked in the police
court the other day to account for large
sums Of money placed in his hands by con
fding investors. has skipped On Satur-
day he left for New Westminster to ar
range out of court one of his many cases.
Today letters were received from him by
his friends saying he had decided not to
come back. II am going to country, p
said he "Where can begin life over again,
1t is my solemn intention to return every
cent of that money. / can only hope my
partners will forgive that great injury /
have done them" 1t is supposed that
Walker has gone to the sound.
When in New Westminster by money
obtained probably from his father-in-laW,
Justice Crease. Of the supreme bench, ar
ranged out of court an action brought by
Francis Clinton to recover $4,000, and the
defauIted action was Withdrawn today.
Other defalcations are being heard of daily.
His liabilities now amount to $120 900.
Walkers wife is still here, bearing up
bravely and maintaining that her husband
is innocent of wrong-doing. Some people
think he is more of fool than rogue.
Several real estate men are supposed to
have profted by his speculation on other
peoples money. His bail bond of $4,000
was signed by Justice Grease and Hon. @.
G. Pooley, the queens counsel and presi-
dent of the executive council of the pro-
yincial parliament.

tee Still IA Work.

ice stA&A ~ WORK
RosLYE, May 18.-The testimony ad-
duced at the coroner's inquest today prac-
tically corroborates the evidence that was
given on Saturday and Monday as to the
material features. "A great difference of
opinion prevails as to the point Of ignition
and explosion. The members of the
miners committee are almost a unit as to
the point of ignition, but the individuals
differ as to the nature and point of ex-
plosion. The committee contends that the
drill hole in the crosscuB cuts no figure
whatever in the explosion, but that the ig-
milton took place in the seventh east entry
and that there was combination gas and
dust explosion in the neighborhood Of the
fourth and third east entries.
Ihe mine tiremen and a number of the
miners maintain that shot was put off in
the drill hole in the crosscut between the
fifth and sixth levels, the lay of the tim
bers and marks Of powder going to demon
backed up with diversity of reasons and
the division of opinion, coming as they do
from thoroughly practical mining men,
calls upon the jury for the exercise Of great
judgment.
Inspector Edmunds has thought all
along that the manner of proceeding in the
inquest is Illegal The state law passed by
the last legislature gives him the sole iuris-
diction in the investigation as to the cause
OF the accident, while the coroner's jury is
burdened with the duty Of establishing the
cause of death. It has been dual inquis-
ition from the beginning, and the inspector
ahd prosecutor have frequently clashed on
the propriety of certain questions. Ed
munds has his ideas about conducting the
Investigation which, in some respects, are
indorsed by the prosecutor, Ralph Kauff-
man, OF Ellensburgh, who is acting in the
absecne of Prosecutor McFalls. Tie latter
having opened the inquest, sustained the
position taken by Inspector Edmunds this
morning. But it was amicably arranged,
however, to proceed on the same plan as
first adopted.
