STIRRING SCENES OF WAR DAYS
High School Boys and Girls Win Lau-
rels on the seattle Theater Stage
Crowds at Cordray's.

The High School Cadets were seen at
tbesr hest las. evening In the war drama,
~AIiatoona," al the Seattle .heater. The
PRODUCTION was ere6isabie. and moved
of with unusual snoothneSs, consider
ing that IL was given by anna teurs. and
about the only criticism 10 be Offered is
that there was a disposition on the part
of some OF the participants 10 speak too
fas. and m too low tones. This applies
mainly 20 the subordinate characters. the
PRINCIPALS. as at the first performance,
acquitting themselves commercially.
The Harry Estes Of VIII If. Inglis was
an accurate delineation OF the typical
Northern youth. ardently devoted 10 the
flag. but calm and deliberate in his ac-
tIssns. while the opposing character of
Charles Dunbar, by Oscar Lee, was true
TO the quick fiery nature ascribed 10 the
Southerner. The two young men were
warmly received, and at the close of the
first act when the curtain falls on them
in a rough and tumble fight. they were
given a recall. Seth Green. the Yankee
sergeant. is a character that would pre-
sent many difficulties TO the average
school boy, but all were overcome with
ease by f. A Friend, who threw a great
deal of comedy into the part.
As Helen Dunbar Miss Edna Whittier
made a sweet and attractive Southern
girl, and spoke her lines with precision
given by j. W. Brewer, was appreciated
and secured for her an encore. Miss May
BIackman. her companion, was assigned
10 Miss Jennie Ingiis, and was given with
ability. Miss Alice Tuck made a natural
farmers wife as Mrs. Maria Green.
OF the other names in the cast. W. r.
Allen was a manly Maj. Rhert. and his
interreta ton stood out boldly in con-
srast 10 the impetuous and scheming
Col Dunbar c. V. White, as a contra
hand and Ford Fisher. as Pete. were
very good. as were III. T.. Booth, Merton
Brewer. Oscar Oliver. NJ. A. Har.nett.
Claude Harlow. J. =. Cummings. Alton
Remington Charles Lynch, Louis Killing
and Richard Pearse. all of whom were
cast in suitable parts.
Aside from the meritorious perform
ance of the play generally. the drill by
the cadets showed them 20 have been
carefully trained and gave evidence of
much time spent in hard study of the
tactics. They went through the move
nsenss with the precision Of veterans. The
mechanism of scene shifting was also
shown by the theatrical mechanics, and
proved 10 he interesting 10 the audience.
The attendance was not heavy. due, for
the most part 1t is thought, TO unfavor-
able weather.

Spearin about two years ago completed
surveys of two townships for the govern

miles above Sank City and the other some
thirty miles north Of Spokane. As IS usual
with that. class OF work he had 70 wait
for the approval OF his surveys before he
could get the money for them. and had
agreed with his employees that they should
also wait until he himself wac paid. The
hard times came on. and the claims were
assigned. In consequence. Spesrin was

DID DIR. GEORGE DRINK BEER:
Terrible Accusation Brought Against a
Former seattle Pastor.

did DR.. ". p. George. ex-pastor or the
First Methodist Episcopal church OF this
city. suUggie b@er into his residence, did
he drink Il and did Il make him drunk
were questions which were discussed al
recent meeting OF the elders and trustees
OF the Second Presbyterian church OF Kan
sas City and according 70 the Star OF that
city there was a conflict OF answers
DR.. George, as has been told in the Post
Inteliigencer In the past. after leaving this
city went 10 Kansas City. where he
preached In the Second Presbyterian
church. and made such a favorable i'm
preston that a portion of the congresa-
ton wanted him TO be the pastor. notwIth-
standing that he was a Methodist Inc
congregation split as result. ana ever
since there has been trouble in the flock.
DR.. George was accused OF violating all
sorts OF church regulations. He said he
did not; others said he did. and the con-
troversy is still 10 be determined.
The latest charge against DIR. George Is
that he snuggled beer into his Kansas
City residence. and that after he got IL
there he imbibed so freely as TO produce
intoxication-
The meeting of the church trustees and
elders was held at the instance of those
OF the congregation who are opposed 10
Dr. George and who heard that a special
meeting OF the congregation was about TO
be held TO name him as regular pastor.
They had exhausted all their other am
munition so IL was decided 10 bring up the
beer question. The hearing. according to
the Star, was held behind closed doors.
Witnesses were examined TO prove the Of
Tense. IL was claimed that when DR..
George was supply pastor of the church
last winter he cIandestinely smuggled
case OF beer into his house. at 4lo West
Tenth street and parfook of IL on nurner-
Gus occasions. II was also charged that
he drank beer at Parkville. Mo. when he
went there to give reading at the church
OF the Rev. c. b. MeAfee.
Three witnesses were examined to prove
the charges. Rev. Mr.. Ford, a retired
minister who lived In the same house with
DIR. George, testified that he had heard
that DIR. George drank beer, but had
never seen him drunk. C. C. Adams. a
real estate agent who also boarded in the
house. said that his room was SO situated
that he could look into the room occu-
pied by DIR. George and his wife. and that
he had frequently seen him drink some
thing out OF a glass before going TO bed.
which looked suspiciously like beer. A
negro porter was examined TO prove that
DIR. George haa brought a case of beer
into the house.
DR.. Georges atherents present did not
deny that he drank beer occasionally, but
proved that he did 1t on the advice OF DR.
Jenny as a harmless and efficacious rem
edy for insomnia A letter from the Rev
G. b. AcAfee was read In which it was
stated that II DIR. George drank beer in
Parkyille he must have bought IL with
him. No beer Is sold in PaG.kville." the
letter said.
