was man hiding back of the Newport
hats, and hurrying to the scene the
fellow was taken in custody. He was
taken to the Rondo street station, but
as soon as the news reached police head
quarters an order was issued trans
ferring the prisoner to the central sta
ton. The fellow gave the name of Will
liam Welsh and at first refused to talk
claiming that he knew nothing about
the missing cash or timepiece. He was
identified by Landers as one of the
three men who relieved him of his
valuables and after a short session
with Chief Goss and Chief Of Detec-
tives Schweitzer. Welsh told what he
knew and also who his pals were. Lam
ders story about being held up was
found to be incorrect as he lost his
property on wager with one Of the
trio and had an idea that If he told
the truth he might be arrested for
gambling. The detectives are looking

WAS A GREAT SUCCESS.
The Triple Bill Produced at the
Grand Last Night

1t was fashionable audience that
assembled at the Grand opera house
last night to witness a dramatic per-
Torrance consisting Of a triple bill. The
entertainment was given under the
direction of Ben. Johnson and Walter
Hale, both of this city. Both parti-
cipated in the one act plays, much to
the pleasure of the audience.
The programme was made up Of far
ces, entitled The Bicyclers' and my
Turn Next" Neither of them can stand
criticism, but between them was in
serted that extremely clever, concise
and pungent one-act drama by Sidney
Grundy, entitled I'm Honor Bound .
Mr.. Grundy is terse, epigrammatic
dramatist, who is best known here as
the author of Sowing the Wind,
The real enjoyment of last evening s
entertainment was confined to the pre-
sentation of I'm Honor Bound" 1t is
no undeserved praise to say that it
was most creditably acted by Walter
Hale, Herschel Mayall, Miss Katherine
Everts, of Minneapolis, and Miss Adah
Hawkins. Miss Hawkins was delight
fully naive and spontaneous, and the
entire performance was imbued with
the sympathetic spirit necessary to it's
effective presentation.
''The Bicyclers'' the one-act farce by
John Kendrick Bangs, which was first
on the programme, did not display the
cast to the best advantage. It's dia-
logue is rapid and it's action imaginary.
Ben Johnson, in the role of a beginner
on the bicycle, provoked the only gen.
uipe laughs. But the closing farce MY
Turn Next" was rendered by Mr..
Johnson, who furnished a comical carl
cature Of village apothecary. Mr..
Johnson's characterization, while neces-
sarily exaggerated in order to impart
snap to the farce was restrained with
in human bounds, contained several
clever bureesque touches and was al
together very amusing. Mr.. MayalI
and Miss Hawkins also contributed
commendable character bits. The
farce itself is of rather primitive
character, entertaining enough for the
first 20 minutes but too long to last.
All in all, Messrs. Johnson and Hale
are to be congratulated for the enter
tainment which they afforded with the
assistance of Misses Adah Hawkins.
Katherine Everts, Sophie B0rup, Maud
Lewis and Messrs. Herschel Mayall,

ton. The authorities in charge at the
central station asserted that Mr..
OBrien asked to be let off the other
day as he expected an addition to his
family circle during the ensuing
twelve hours. In such a case even
policemen are human and Mr.. O'Brien
was accorded the desired privilege.
But policemen are also suspicious,
and upon sending an officer to Mr..
O'Brien's home later on. it was found
that Mr.. O'Brien himself was absent
and that there had been no new ar
rival that day. and moreover that such
an interesting event was not even an

manders of This Division.
A union meeting Of the Salvation
armies of the Twin Cities was held last
evening, in First Baptist church, as a
welcome to the new division command
ers. Mai and Mrs. Clifford, who arrived
in Minneapolis Thursday, from Tacoma,
where they have been in command for
three months. Maj. Clifford is man
of pleasing address and has peculiar
charm about his manner of speaking
which wins the attention of his hearers
at once He is full of enthusiasm and
brings out his words when making a
public address with a ring which is
most impressive His voice is of great
advantage to him in his work and last
evening together with Lieut.. Conlin,
of Tacoma, and also alone, he gave a
number of what he was pleased to
term typical army songs in a very
pleasing manner. Mrs. Clifford is fra
gile looking woman who spoke few
words last evening at the request OF
her husband in voice of great sweet
ness. Maj Clifford said that when he
was met at the train by the Minneapo-
lis comrades Thursday evening he felt
that he had come among those who
would stand by him in his work, and
that unless he did have the hearty Co
operation of them all he felt it to be
useless to undertake the duties before
him. He said that he had not the
words at his command with which to
express the gratitude he felt for the
welcome he had received.
He did not care to leave the people
among whom he was at work in Ia
coma, but he had learned that ODE
dience is the one great principle Of the
soldier and the Christian.
Maj. Clifford proposes to fit out the
division band, which is at present max
ing a tour of the state, and was present
at last nights meeting, with splen-
did uniform. This he has already or
dered and hopes the band may be in ST.
Paul and Minneapolis and wear this
uniform during the visit of Gen.
Booths daughter this fall He has
named the band the Gratitude Band
out of gratitude for the fact that the
army held together during the recent
troubles in the ranks
Maj Clifford brought with him a
new member for the band, Lieut. Con
lin, who was warmly welcomed
Among those who occupied the plat
form with Maj and Mrs Clifford and
took part in the evenings programme

the plan of home rule reforms proposed

ing entitled "A law for the reorganization

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
LOUISVILLE, KY, December 19-In the
November election only one Bryan elector
was elected. This elector, w. B. Smith.
was given a certificate by the state can
vassing board. The silver democrats
threaten to file a contest against the
twelve Mckinley electors, and on account
of this contest none of the bets on Ken
lucky have been decided. The men hold
ing the Bryan end of the bets claim tina,
they are entitled to the money, as McKin-
ley did not carry Kentucky in the sense
that he got only twelve Of the thirteen
electors. Horace Dunhoe of Cincinnati
who holds about $4,000 wagered on the
result in Kentucky, decided in favor of the
Bryan end on that ground.
Today bomb was thrown into the Bry-
an camp by the announcement that the
republican campaign committee would con-
test the eleo otion of Smith in the event of
Mckinley electors was filed. The commit
tee has been at work securing evidence CT
fraud, and as the state board of contest,
before which the contest will be tried, is
republican. the chances are that Smith
will be unseated and solid Mckinley del
egation of electors seated.
Chairman Roberts said today: You can
say that we do not propose to make any
contest unless the proposed contest against
the Mckinley electors is filed. If that con-
test is filed then we propose to go out for
all in sight and contest Smiths election"
Under these circumstances the bets on
Kentucky must soon be decided If the
silver mems contest is filed then the re-
suit will be such that the Mckinley bet
