been borrowed to purchase the bonds de-

MUSIC AND THE STAGE.

For more than 200 years the Passion

more or less elaborate in detail, at Bay

decade has 1t excited any particular In

Yesterday afternoon 1t was represented
by cinematographio process at the Met

The illustrated reproduction of this
play, the fruit Of 200 years practice and
strict attention to detail, shows how well
Bavarfan peasants can be drilled into the
artistic grace of acting, leaving, of
course, their standard Of dialogue to the
Imagination. That these peasant actors.

The mayor is to be congratulated and

ence of collision with crime on the part
of the police department officials, Or else
that they are utterly untitled for the sew

If, on the other hand he has acted with

somewhat laggard and altogether partial
in his operations thus far.

~r1AYoR" GR1FF1N,s DOWNFALL

Things have greatly changed. even
among our local reformers, within the
past two or three years
Whereas, under Mayor Iiefer's Repub-
Ican predecessor, F. B. Doran, Mr.. w.
H Griffin reached the high distinction Of
being designated "the mayor" under
Mayor Kiefer he finds 1t impossible to
conduct a quiet game, or, at least, to
conduct it indefinitely. But a few years
ago he enjoyed the privilege of having as
his partners in business certain well
known officers still on the police force.
Today, even while Republican reform still
holds carnival among us, the police patrol
wagon is called, and he and his friends
and patrons are carted off to the local
bastile, and refused bail, as malefactors
who have placed themselves beyond the
pale of all constitutional guarantees.
How has this remarkable state of things
come to pass? 1t all but passes under
standing. One would naturally believe
that the influence and possible business
interest of Mr.. Griff1n's former partners
on the police force would be sufficient
to have tipped off, him and his friends,
so as to prevent his gambling place being
| raided. The C ! o b sees no explanation
which will fit the case, except that Chief
Goss and those Of his immediate subor-
dinate officers who were or are in busi-
ness with Mr.. Griffin were unable to pre-
vent the disaster that has befallen this
one-time leading light of local Repub-
| lican reform.
! It certainly must have been his desire to
emphasize his opposition to officials of
the police department going into business
with gentlemen of the special activities
| of Mr.. Griffin which caused Mayor Kiefer
to select Mr.. GrifTin's gambling house for
| his operations in preference to the nu-
merous other gambling lay-outs now in
operation in the city. 1t may indeed be
that the old partnership has been revived,
and that, knowing this, Mayor Kiefer de-
cided on killing two birds with the same
official stone. If so he certainly has sue
ceeded in expressing his unwsllingness to
see his leading police officers in business
with men of Mr. Griffin's stamp, at the
same time declaring his contempt for
Chief Goss and that gentleman's skill as
a police official.
| The Globe hopes that the grand jury
will not overlook Mayor Kiefers ability
