Tonight Mr.. and Mrs. Sydney Drew
will make their first appearance herein
their laughable comedy entitled That
Girl from Mexico, preceded by the one
act play entitled In Honor Bound. Both
plays are said to be very enjoyable, and
the company makes the most of them.

A coming attraction at the Grand
opera house March 3lst and April 1st
will be Mr.. Gus Williams, long favor
ite here as German dialect comedian
and comic vocalist. He impersonates
Albert Keppler in new version OF
Keppler's Fortunes. Mr.. Williams will
sing several of his own latest humorous
prises Coming Through the Dye and
also plays his burlesque piano solos.

hands OF Gus Williams, Keppler be-
comes very amusing parsonage, over
flowing with eccentric traits and quaint
peculiarities. In past seasons the vary
ing Fortunes of Keppler caused no end
of laughter. In it's new form the anus
ing old comedy is more mirth- provoking
than in its original guise.

The United States Marine band, which
is to appear in three grand military con-
certs at the pavilion, April 18th and
18th, should not be confounded with
ordinary organizations. 1t is the only
one Of its kind in America. 1t has
existed for nearly 100 years, is an insti-
tuition owned exclusively by the United
States and is supported by it. 1t is at
tached to the navy department. being
under direct control of the secretary OF
the navy and its official name being the
Band of the United States Marine
Corps. The latter was organized in
1898, and the official band soon after
ward. In 1922 the Marine hand was
assigned to duty at the White House and
ever since that time it has occupied that
position. For this reason it is called
"the presidents band"
1t is the offic al band of the nation
and the one of all upon all national and
state occasions. 1t is entitled to the
position of honor in all national festivi
ties, inaugurals, receptions or demon
strations OF every kind, and the musical
head of the navy and army. To be
equal at all times to meet the require
ments made upon it by the govern mrnt
it must be ready instantly to perform
any service designated, musically OF
course. Therefore its capabilities must
be Of the very highest. They are, un-
questionably. In fact,it is said that ali
Europe possesses but one military band
that is the equal OF the United States
Marine band.
The playing of this great national
band is Of the most spirited and dashipg
sort. brilliant in the extreme. There
are fifty instrumentalists, directed bv
Sousa, one Of the most distinguished d
leaders living, and a composer, also OF
first rank. he band is as sensitive to
the baton of its leader as the needle to
the pole. Sousa has perfect and COM

secures whatever effects in the interpre-
tation OF music he desires. Ii is said

THE extent to which Drayton and Bor-
rowe have succeeded in getting them
selves advertised is sad commentary
on the frivolity OF the average American
mind. The New York newspapers reach
us with whole columns devoted to those
wretched ephemera, who have neither
decency nor courage. That is sad
enough. But when it tcomes to telegraph
ing column on column devoted to the
principals and their cronies across an
entire continent patience ceases to be a
virtue. One is tempted to fall back on
the language OF the street gamin and to
cry, "Oh, give US rest" rhe last
phase of the embroglio is the probability
of duel between Milbank and "Modoc"
Fox, Borrowers seconds in the Paris
fiasco. 1t is to be hoped that this will
come about, as Milbank is said to be a
skillful dueliet and he might decrease
the tribe of trihers by one and perhaps
get himself hanged for his well-intended
service to mankind, thus adding i'm
measurably to the obligation.

THE clock which surmounts the new

of genius but its utility is questionable.
1t is, compared to other clocks, what the
play OF Hamlet Is with Hamlet left out

clock Of i'll omen, and personally we have
had spite against it ever since depen-
dence on it made US miss a train on the

Sousa directing. cannot play at sight.
| In concerts Sousa gives the brightest and
most delicious selections that his hun
dreds of arrangements afford marches,
waltzes, dance music, descriptive music,
etc., but he also usually intersperses
them with selections of the highest or
der of classical music, overtures, sonatas,
concertos, themes and arias arranged by
masters. In these the Marine band is
simply incompatible. So say the
critics. None have controverted the
statement.
Do you know Ole Olson? This is a
question which has been asked over and
over again this week, and will be
answered to the satisfaction of every
body next Wednesday evening at the
Los Angeles theater. Ole Olson is not a
man, but play. Not Swedish play,
but comedy, with Swedish character
as the central figure. This is the first
play of its kind ever produced. and
really one of the genuine novelties of
the season. Americans find fund of
humor in the Swedish character, and
the play is said to draw heavily on this
fund. Ole Olson is comedy, pure and
simple in every sense of the word, and
is much different from most so-called
comedies in that it has we'll defined
plot that carries the story through to a
successful and reasonable ending. Ole
is represented to be young man just
over from Sweden, who naturally finds
idiom of the English language
ludicrous scrapes by reason of his in
Oh ytv, IN tnh Ho 30
not here very long, or, as he himself puts
it, swan yare, femf mont and sax
wake" before he is one of the boys in
every sense of the word. In every large
city where Ole Olson has been presented
| it has met with phenomenal success,
and the novelty of the character has
been one of the hits of the season. The
cast is an unusually strong one, and in
cludes such artists as Ben Hendricks,
who for the past three seasons has
shared the honors with Minnie Palmer
in My Swe heart. Mr.. Hendricks is
handsome and graceful young actor,
and he is said to speak Ole's lines with
dialect which is almost perfect. Alice
Evans plays saucy, sparkling soubrette
part in very winsome way, and is a
charming feature of the entertainment.
Miss St. George Hussey, veritable
Kilkenny virago, and her antics, songs
and dances evoke screams of laughter.
With such novelty in comedy and such
strong cast, including the National
Swedish Lady quartette from Stock
holm. Ole Olson will play to the capa-
city of the theater. The engagement is
for two nights only, Wednesday and
Thursday.

Proclaiming Venezuela, Hayti and Colom-
bia Outside of Reciprocity May Lead to
Another Legal Test.
WASHINGTON, March 1S.-It is posi-
bic that the presidents proclamation
reimposing duties on certain exports
from Venezuela, Hayti and Colombia
will lead again to a test of the validity
of the reciprocity clause of the Mckin-
ley bill. The proclamation opens the
way for the direct question to be
brought before the house and it will
be the policy of those who are inter-
ested in discrediting the Mckinley act
to avail themselves of the opportunity.
Speaking of the proclamation yester-
day Representative Turner, Of Geor-
gia. tho lawyer member of the ways
and mean committee, said: 1.-The res
toratiou of duties on coffee and other
commodities from Venezuela, Hayti
and Colombia will greatly disturb our
trade with those countries and will OPP
crate as a great hardship on Americans
engaged in that trade. The constitu-
~tionality of the law under which the
proclamation is issued may be tested in
the courts. The question would Dc
very different from that recently de-
cided by the supreme court The claim
set up in this case was that the
whole bill was rendered invalid by the
presence of this clause in the bill, but
the validity of the clause itself was not
tested Now any importer importing
coffee from Venezuela and being re-
quired to pay duty on the import may
contest the validity of this levy of duty
imposed merely bv an executive procla-
nation and applicable to similar inn
ports from this country. He may
take the matter into the courts and
carry it up the supreme court and get
a decision upon the direct question of
the right of congress t. delegate a law
making power to the president"

The President Anxious to Know the Inten-
tion of the British Government
WASHINGTON, March 17.-Acting Sec
rotary Wharton has been instructed to
inform Sir Julian Pa~uncefote, the
British minister, that the president de-
sires to know at as early a date rs
possible the intention of the
British government with regard
to the proposed renewal of the
modus vivendi of last year for
the preservation of the seal fisheries,
pending the settlement by arbitration
of the question of the iurisdictional
rights of the United States in Behring
sea The British minister was re-
quested to call Lord Salisbury's atten-
ton to Mr.. Wharton's note of the Sth
instant insisting on the necessity
of the modus vivendi, with the
suggestion that the President
would like to have a response as soon
as possible in order that he might act
Understandings in the matter. The
presidents desire for speedy action is
said to be due to the fact that it is es-
sential that he should know whether
Great Britain will cooperate in keeping
the ~sealers out of Behring sea,
as otherwise, the execution of
that duty falling solely on
the United States, will necessitate
the making of arrangements that can
scarcely be effective unless completed
at an early day. The character of the
instructions to our naval and
vessels designed for duty in Behring
sea this easou will depend almost al
together on the attitude to be assumed
by Great Britain, and as the vessels
will have to be in the vicinity of the
sea by Nav 1, it will be seer that there
is verY little time to spare in preWring.

CAPRIVI MAY RETIRE.

Count Won -Trutschler Resigned
The Primary Education Bill the Cause.
BERLIN, March 19.-It now appears
certain hat Count Won ZedlitZ-Trut-
schiller resigned his office at the termi-
nation of the cabinet council Thursday,
and that he vas prompted to take this
step by the statement made by Emper-
or William that he did not wish
the primary education bill passed by
a one-sided majority. The withdrawal
of the bill after forcing it through the
committee in a practically amended
form wouid be a confession of great
weakness on the part OF the govern
ment Chancellor Won Caprivi's atti-
tude in regard to the much discussed
measure having beer quite as that Of
Baron Won ZedlitZ-TrutSchler.
The emperor sent DIR. Lucanas to in

but it is believed that no declined to
withdraw his resignation
Chancellor Won Caprivi's intention to
resign is becoming more decided He
has represented to the emperor that he
must identify himself with Count Voa
Zedlitz, whose views he personally
shared In the ven of the chancellor
resigning, it will be difficult to antici-

II iss stated that Chancellor Won

The emperor would not have left Ber-
lin if Chancellor Won Caprivi had re-

No decision anent Count Won Zedlitz

DOODLE ALDERMEN.

Chicago Enjoying q Genuine Sensation
Several of Her Aldermen Accused Of
Having Received Doodle From Corpora
ti0ns.
CHICAGO, March 1S-As a sequel to
the recent passage by the city council
of an ordinance granting permission to
the Chicago Power Supply & Smoke
Abating Co, better known as the Com
pressed Air Co, to use the streets and
alleys of the city in about any manner
it might see fit the indictment of a
number of aldermen by the grand jury
for alleged boodling is promised.
The men who have been active in
working up these cases have spared no
expense and have made sure of each
step. They have witnesses who have
cen large sums of money paid by the
representatives OF corporations to in
dividual aldermen and who nave heard
the alderman promise on receiving the
money to cast his vote on a certain
measure in a certain way. The money
was paid in various ways. Some re-
ceived it at their homes from messen-
gers Some were paid in the precincts
of the city hall and it is said that two
sold their votes in the lobby of the
council chamber.
When the Northern Pacific ordinance
was passed and when the active sup
port of the Economic Gas proposition
was made by prominent members of
the council, suspicion vas created, and
when in one instance at least this sus-
picion grew to positive certainty Of
corruption, the investigation was set
on foot which, it is now said, will end
only when several present members of
Chicago's city council are wearing the
stripes of Joliet penitentiary.
Among the witnesses who are SUBJ
penaed are two members of the coun-
ell who were dragged into the boodling
operations aud who have expressed a
willingness to tell all they know.
States Attorney Longenecker says he
expects to show that all three of the
ordinances-the compressed air, the
Northern Pacific and the economic gas
were passed by the virtue of the pur-
chase of votes for hard cash. 81 don't
mind saying" said he, that there will
be the biggest upheaval ever seen in
this city. When all the facts are final
ly made public the result will be the
most sensational Of any in the city's
history" He added that he would be
aided by three of the city's most prom
inent attorneys.

Movements Of tho Brutal English
Murderer.
THE PRISONER STRONGLY GUARDED.
Fears That He May lie Attacked BY the
Excited Pe~ople-Fainted Twice After
lis Capture. But Maintains
His Innocence.

PERTH, Australia, March 19.-Deen-
ing. who is accused Of having muir
dered his wife and four children in En-
gland, was brought to the city yester-
dav by officers. going to Melbourne,
where court proceedings will be taken
against him. The prisoner was strongly
guarded and every precaution taken
by the authorities to prevent him from
attempting to make his escape and to
guard against his being attacked by
the excited people, fears being enter
tanned of a dangerous outbreak of pop
ular feeling against the murderer.
The railroad station was jammed with
a great crowd of persons when the
train bearing the prisoner and his
guards reached the city.
As soon rs the cars came to a stand
still the crowd, which had been pa
tiently waiting at the station for a long
time, made an exciting rush toward
the car which the Deening party occu-
pied for the purpose of catching a
glimpse of the now famous GRIM
inal. The constables who had
charge of the prisoner at once
hurried Deening from the train to
4 vehicle which had been held in readi-
ness to convey him to the Jail A yell
ing, hooting mob of men and boys
started after the carriage, but the
driver whipped up his borses and soon
outran his p%ursuers and in a shortti time
had safely landed Deening in the irstt-
tuition where he will remain for a few
days until the formal magisterial in
quiry is held and he is remanded.
The detectives who hunted the pris-
oner down were interviewed after their
arrival here. They said that when
Deening was arrested and was ques-
toned about the terrible charges made
against him, he affirmed his complete
innocence of the crimes. He gave his
name as Swanston, and declared that
he had no knowledge of the nan known
As Williams. He said that he was a
resident of Windsor.
The detectives also gave the infor-
nation that the prisoner had tainted
twi,e during the journey but that
otherwise he appeared to be in a cheer
full frame of mimi. He was voluble
and was very willing TO talk about the
murders attributed to him. He seemed
to be confident that when the proper
time came he would be able to prove
his innocence. The police claim TO pos
sess prove Of his identification. They
seized some of his goods and among
Other things which fell into their hands
were a batch of letters and q basket
containing female clothing.
