POLITICS IN LOGANSPORT
Judge Winfield Says n Wave of Re-
form Has Started.

1.-THE coming city election in Logansport
is interesting the better class of citizens
said Judge NJ. Winfield at the Hotel En-
glish last night. 1T looks very much as
if the people were going to rise in
their might and stamp out an infamous
combination of Democrats and Republicans
in our City Council that has been carrying
things with high hand for several years.
continued Judge Winfield. "These men
work regular game of hold-up.' to speak
plainly. whenever a franchise question
comes before the Council. They cast about
to see who will make the best bid for their
influence and votes. The result of their
policy is more noticeable, perhaps, in the
interurban situation than anything else.
Interurbans ought to have been running
into Logansport long ago, but the situation
has got all muddled up, and the question
has fallen into litigation in the United
States courts. There is no telling when the
end will come now" Judge Winfield ex-
pressed himself greatly pleased with the
statute providing for the election of coun-
cilmen each two years, instead of four, in
Logansport and other similar cities. The
law in question was introduced in the last
Legislature by Senator Miller, but it was in
reality drafted by Judge Winfield, although
he modestly declines to admit this fact.
The Miller law he said. will enable the
people of Logansport TO get relief from a
most distressing situation, for they can
now elect an entirely new set of council
men. 1t may be, of course, that some of
the members of the old Council who are
up for reelection will succeed but / am
frank to say that in my opinion not a
mothers of them ought to be elected.
] am very clear on the one proposition, any
way that the fellows who belong to the
disreputable combine l have described
ought to be retired forever to private life
Judge Winfield was asked whether he will
yield to the pressure that is being brought
70 bear upon him by many leading Demo-
Gratis of his district to stand for election to
another term in the State Senate. Il have
not made up my mind yet" he said, ''as to
whether L shall try for my old place in the
Senate not, but l would not be surprised
to find myself in indianapolis next January,
occupying a room in the new hotel that
will have replaced my old stopping place.
the Bates"
Judge Winfield spent the day in Indianap-
oils looking after legal business, and left
last night for Chicago.

"FiddIe-Dee-Dee" mt the Park

''Fiddle-De-Dee," one of the burleSqueS
written by Edgar Smith and first acted by
the Weber-Fields company in its New York
music hall. is presented at the Park Thea
ter this week by a large and capable COM
pany. The entertainment is in two parts.
The first is ''Fiddle-Dee-Dee," a nonsenical
hodge odge, and the second is composed
of burlesques on 1.-THE Royal Family"
''Floradora" and 1.-The Gay Lord Quex,"
and three vaudeville acts.
In "Fiddle-Dee-Dee" Charles o. Rice and
Fred Cady are the German language chop
pers. John Alden is Hoffman Barr, i'm
personated originally by De Wolf Hopper
Bobby North has the Hebrew part that
Dave Warfield first played. John G. Sparks
is the usual Irishman. Truly Shattuck is
the Lillian Russell of the company. A
careful and intelligent stage manager has
kept the company faithful to the authors
instructions. The chorus is handsomely cos
TUNED, well voiced and quick in the dances.
'Rosey PoSey' is sung by Dorothy Drew
and a lot of scurrying girls in a spirit that
rouses the house to enthusiasm. The en-
semble numbers are all produced more
deliberately than one is accustomed to in
the higher-priced theaters. The comedians
are smart and Miss Shattuck acts and
sings better than she ever has before.
The second part Of ''Fiddle-Dee-Dee" is
a Swiss scene. The two Germans and the
Jew. III costume, PICK
their way over the rocks and are confronted
at the bottom of an incline by a St. Ber-
nard dog. The dog, after prancing about
alarmingR, lies down and goes to sleep.
The three travellers discuss means to win
the dogs friendship. and the Jew moves
that It be called by name. He leans over
the animal and calls it ABLY" 'Izzy" and
Morris" but II does not move. Then one
is unavailng. The other German brilliantly
suggests: Maybe its not that kind of a
dog" and cries. Julia" The dog finally
animal is acted grotesquely by Harold
actor named George Ali, who makes a spe-
burIesQue that the company presented in
this city two years ago.
There is something TO laugh at in nearly
every minute of the several burlesques,
though one familiar with Captain Mar
shalTs pretty comedy, "A Royal Family"
may vince at the rough way in which it is
handled here. Bobby North's burlesque of
Mrs Gilbert as the Queen Dowager is GRIM

contributed to by the Musical Johnstons,
the NewsbOys Quintet and the Cardownie
Sisters The Johnstons play xylOphones.
and there is no one in vaudeville who equals
their skill One of the two brothers is the
musical director of the company. The
Newsboys' Quintet is not up to the. rest
of the company and could be dropped profit
ably. for the show is OverlOng now. The
Cardownie Sisters are vaudeville dancers.
The company will remain all week, giving
two performances a daN.

guests of the hostelry a graphic illustra-

distinguished actress registered and was
about to enter the elevator to go to her

ceipt of this intelligence melted a storm
that appeared destined to assume terrify-

union CLOTHING MAKERS
THEY ARE IN TROUBLE WITH TWO
EMPLOYING COMPANIES.
Central Labor Union Considers Con-
with the Kahn Company.

The Central Labor Union spent most of
its time last evening discussing the condi-
ton at the Meyer overall plant. The af-
fairs of the Garment Makers Union there
seem not to have been settled satsfactor
lily to the union and the central body was
again asked to lend assistance. L. J. Col
Inns, of the machinists' union, led in the
argument, declaring that the Meyer COM
pany should be called unfair George Gus
ter, of the iron molders' union, said it was
very inconsistent for the Central Labor
Union to declare the firm unfair and at the
same time allow members of the Garment
Workers Union to work there. He said it
was the duty of the national officers of the
Garment Makers Union to look after the
welfare of the local union. 1t was said
that President Laargey had been asked TO
assist the union but no word could be got
from him. For a long time the various
members discussed the policy of leaving
the matter again in the hands of the griev-
ance committee and it was finally decided
to comply with the request of the Garment
Makers Union.
The Painters and Decorators Union pre-
ferred charges against the Hardwood Fin
ishers' Union and asked the central body TO
take immediate action, saying the hard
wood finishers had been doing work that
properly belonged TO the painters. The
charges were referred to the arbitration
committee with instructions to give the
matter immediate consideration.
The Transfers Union was given the as
sistance of the grievance committee to or
ganize the teamsters employed in hauling
at the new Claypool Hotel.
The grievance committee was instructed
to investigate the trouble of the Cab
Drivers Union with the Indianapolis
Transfer Company. The union charges
that six drivers were discharged because
they filed their applications for member
ship in the union and were afterward re-
employed at an advance in wages of 81
week on the agreement that they should go
no further with their applications for mem
bership in the union.
The labor temple committee reported that
it had tickets for the rafting of the cottage
to distribute among the delegates. gold
watch will be given TO the person selling
the highest number of tickets and a couch
to the person ranking second.
Robert Moran, president of the Interna-
tional Custom Clothing Makers Union,
made a short speech at the close of the
meeting. His headquarters is in Chicago,
and in that city, he said, the Central Labor
Union represents 225 organizations.

This is the last week Of the season at
the Grand. and the bill of vaudeville is
generally interesting. 1t has more than the
usual quota Of singers. Eleanor Falk is
supported by a chorus of ten girls in four
songs-"My Josephine" My Maid from
Hindoostan." "Pheemie" and "Pajamas
Polly" There are changes of costume
between the songs, the color scheme is re-
freshing. the dancing is well designed and
executed and the company has a musical
director to keep the act moving at the
proper tempo. Miss Falk has a good voice
and bright, vigorous style. The stage
picture is so lively that one wonders why
there are not more large acts of the sort
in vaudeville
Another troupe Of singers and dancers
in the bill-the Six Blackbirds-is COM
posed of three colored men and three col
ored women. They do we'll as long a : they
sing and dance. but they spoil their well
come when they foist old jokes and silly
dialogue on the audience. Their comedy
is an impertinence.
Arnim and Wagner have a sketch they
call Opera in the Kitchen" They sing
bits of operas and mix horse-play with the
singing. They are foreigners, Germans
probably, and they have the same idea of
American fun that so many others of their
kind have. They are skillful singers and if
they would use their voices seriously they
would prosper here.

and humorously.

Walter DamrOsch's New Work.

Walter Damrosch. who has been conduct
or of German opera in the Metropolitan
company. has been chosen conductor of the
New York Philharmonic Orchestra to sue
coed Emil Paur The New York Times
makes the following interesting observa-
tions:
1.-The nominating committee of the Phil
harmonic Society of New York has placed
in nomination for the conductorshiD for
next season Mr. Walter Damrosch Ii was
made known some time ago that Mr.. Dam
rosch had not come to an agreement with
Mr.. Maurice Grau TO conduct the German
operas at the Metropolitan Opera House
next season. 1t is an open secret that Mr..
Grau has little sympathy with the Wag-
merriam music drama. which is the main
stay of German opera, and he felt that
without Miss Ternina. who viii not sing
here next winter, he could retire Wagner
TO the background and give chiefly Tam
hauser' and The Flying Dutchman' Thus
there would be practically no work for Mr..
Damrosch.
Meanwhile il was an open secret that
some of the members OF the Philharmonic
Society were restless under the rule OF Mr..
Emil Paur. who matter what these
members may think. has done admira BILE
work at the head of New York's representa-
tive musical body The restlessness led TO
the selection OF Mr. Damrosch, whose cleo
ton is practically certain. This will bring
Mr.. DamrOSch back 10 the field In which he
first made himself an important factor in
the musical life of this city. His growth i'm
recent years as a conductor has been
notable. and he Will doubtless find the Phil
harmonic baton a source Of Indictment to
further progress.
1T is not unlikely that the election of Mr.
Damrosch. who has friends among the
projectors OF the permanent orchestra
movement. may pave the way for a recon-
citation OF the interests OF the Philhar-
monte Society with the new project. This
would be a happy solution of the many
difficulties which now lie in the path OF the
movement and would remove from the way

DOg-HOtel Visitors.

Sanford 3. Dole, formerly President, now
Governor. of the Hawaiian islands, will be
in Indianapolis Thursday or Friday. and
will spend some time here. Governor Dole
is in Washington, and his stop in this city
viii be on his return trip to Honolulu.
With the Governor will be Mr.. w. n. Arm
strong. one of the founders of the we'll
known Armstrong Institute at Hampton,
Va. and the two will be the guests of Mr.
and Mrs. Mortimer lowering during their
stay in the city.
Mr.. Armstrong comes to Indianapolis to
visit his son Kalani Armstrong, solicitor
for the Columbia National Bank. Young
Armstrong is a Yale man" and is friend
of Mr.. Leverings son. An interesting fact
about him is that he is the only boy in the
United States whose christening was di-
rected by royalty and performed with real
royal ceremony. The story of the event
sounds like an incident from a popular
historical novel. Young Armstrong; father
was once prime minister to and prime ia
vorite of King Kalani, of the Sandwich
islands. The elder Armstrong attended the
King on his well-remembered tour of the
world. When the King heard of the birth
of the boy at Hampton, Va, he made spe-
cial request that he be granted the privi-
lege of directing the ceremony of christ
ening the child. Receiving parental ap-
prevail, the King sent to Hampton several
members of the royal household. bearing
royal cOcoanutS and palms. With all the
pOmp and display attending similar events
at the court in Honolulu, the little babe
reposing beneath royal palm branches, was
given the regal name and benediction, the
ceremony concluding with the impressive
act of amounting the child with milk from
the royal cccoanuts.
Governor Dole and Mr.. Armstrong will
be entertained deliberately during their visit
at the lowering home and ii is expected
that the distinguished men will remain in
the city long enough to see the principal
points of interest and greet the prominent
