~THE PLAYS

"why Smith Left Home" George II. Broadhursts latest and best farce, was presented at the Jefferson theater last night to a large and highly pleased au dience The play abounds in ludicrous sit- nations and bright dialogue, and one of its most refreshing features is its freedom from coarseness. In the hands of clever and talented set of people It afforded one of the most thoroughly enjoyable dramatic entertainments of the season.
 As the title suggests. the play concerns the doings of the Smith family. This par ticular Smith has recently married young and charming wife and decides to spend his honeymoon at home. No sooner has he made this praiseworthy and laudable reso- lution than members of both families put in an appearance and proceed to make of his dream of love a hideous nightmare There are a maiden sister and aunt-"an aunt by nature, but mother-in-law by in- stinct,' in the words of the playa brother from college with his bride, to say nothing of German count and dapper little Frenchman. Many and varied complica- tions ensue from the advent of these peo- ple and the play waxes merTier and mer- rier till the final curtain, when the au- dience has found out "why Smith left home" and they themselves go home after having spent a delightful evening with the Smith family.
 Miss Lottie Williams -Salter, who inter- preted the role of Mrs. Smith, is a very clever little actress, possessed of a pretty face and 1.-the, graceful figure. Her voice aS n1 enunciation perfect.
 MT Tanne[hfll made all elf the part of John Smith that his opportunities allowed
 Miss Lizzie May Ulmer portrayed per- haps the most difficult role in the play that of Davinia Daly. the "cook lady," and she did it in very artistic manner.

STILL WAITING FOR LETTERS
First witness in Clark Case Brings
out Nothing of Inn
pOrtnucc.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 22.-When the senate
committee on privileges and elections began
it's session today for the continuance Of its
investigation OF the charges of bribery in
connection with the election of Senator Clark
OF Montana ex- Senator Faulkner informed
The committee that the Ector letters had not
yet arrived. He said they had left Butte
last Monday night and were expected hourly.
The first witness of the day was A. i.
Smith, president OF the Montana National
bank OF Helena. Evidently the purpose Of
calling Mr.. Smith was to show transactions
of the bank involving Senator Clark or mem
bcrs OF the last Montana legislature. Mr..
Smith could recall the names Of only few
members who had accounts at the bank last
winter and these had, he said, been depos-
itors at the bank for several years. He also
said that neither Clark nor Welcome had
transacted any business in the bank during
the last session OF the legislature except that
Senator Clark had opened an account with
the bank just prior to the close of the ses-
sion. He had then given him a personal
check for $4,000 and he had never drawn
upon the account since.
Smith said the bank kept no record of
$1,000 bills passing through it and he did
not remember giving any ut except in one
or two instances, which cases were not con-
nected with the legislature or the senatorial
contest. He also said that his bank and the
Bank CT Clark C Brother of Butte exchanged
business.
Patrick w. Murray, member Of the Mon
tana legislature from Butte testified that
he had several times been approached and
his vote solicited for Clark for the senate.
He detailed the particulars of two interviews
with Mr.. Gallick, a supporter Of Clark
who had on both occasions held up his hands
and spread cut his fingers and thumbs, say
ing that he (the witness) could have that"
fer his vote If cast for Clark for the senate.
He also said that George Casey had come to
him to buy a piece of mining ground which
the witness owned, but that the condition
Of the sale was that he should vote for Clark
for the senate He had refused all the propo-
sitions, because Clark had opposed the cleo
ton of the ticket on which he had made
the race for the legislature. Murray said
he had not been employed for DAILY for
fourteen years and was under no obligations
to that gentleman
At this point the prosecution announced
that 1t had no more witnesses on hand
and the committee adjourned until tomor.

He further announced that the joint meet
ing between the delegates and operators

o'clock.
Tonight the gulf between miners and
operators seemed wider than ever. The
Indiana operators, in their secret meeting
decided to stand out for the present differ
entail OF 25 per cent between pick and ma.
chine mined coal, amounting to about 10
cents ton, and to insist on the right to use

PRIESTS AS C0NSPiRAT0RS
Tria! of the Assumptionist Fathers
Observation-Disclosures Against
the Republic Charged.

PARIS, Jan. 22.-The trial OF twelve AS
sunptionst fathers began here today before
the correction tribunal. 1t is charged that
they were involved in the called royalist
and anti-republican conspiracy. The court
room was crowded and number OF women
were present.
The judge opened the proceedings by
questioning Father Plead, superior of the
order who denied that he belonged to an
illegal association and declared he never
took part in the political agitation. The
Assumptionists, he added, attended to purely
religious questions. Father Pleads coun-
sci then asked for the acquittal of the
prisoners. The public prosecutor replying,
said the fathers were prosecuted because,
in violation of the law they had been liv-
ing in France for the last fifty years with
out the authorization of the government or
probation Of the holy see. He then spoke
OF the wealth of the Assumptionists and
produced facts in support OF the charge that
they had entered actively into the cleo
toral campaign against the republic. The
hearing was then suspended.
The trial is attracting much attention. as
it is miniature repetition of the high

Royal Family Mourns

LONDON, Jan. 22.-The duke OF Teck. who
died yesterday evening, as cabled to the

had been constantly under restraint. Pre-
Vious to her death he showed signs of in
sanity which, subsequent to her demise,
became fully developed. His death was
hastened by an attack of paralysis, which
came on suddenly.
The general feeling in court circles is
that it was a mercful release, though it
puts the finishing touch on the gloom over
shadowing society, for now there is no
prospect of any social season in London. as
