Scott Marbles highly successful melo-
drama, "The Police PATROL 1t is a play
built on old fashioned lines, but intro
ducing some of the realistic scenes con-
nectsd with the operation of the patrol
wagon, an exciting feature Of the police
system in all large cities. Its action la
spirited and continuous, and its story
sufficiently interesting to hold the aSten~
ton Of any audience. It's humor is spon-
taneous and introduces types OF every
day life, each in their character which
never fail to amuse.
The News Of March Esd has the fol-
lowing to say concerning the coming
e]ectio3: s'Ihe thirteenth instance Of
in the Democratic ranks is
that wherein the friends OF Frank Bait
lev an active candidate FOR city comp
troller, claim that the convention is to
be made upon basis hostile to Mr..
Battley. The scheme which it lis claimed
is being worked is that men who are de-
sirous of being elected as delegates are
given to understand that their position
in thJ convention will depend upon
their attitude toward the candidacy OF
Mr.. Poultean, with the implied threat
that hostility to the latter will mean no
recognition for them. MIR. Battley's
friends will rally to his support, and al
ready there is warm fight on for the
control Of the convention on this issue"
