COLUMBIA CLUB SMOKER
ANNUAL ENTERTAINMENT SCORED
THE USUAL SUCCESS.
Professionals from Local Theaters
Contributed to an Excel
lent Programme.

The vaudeville entertainment and smoker
at the Columbia Club last night was dis
tince success in the opinion of the three
hundred members who attended it. The
vaudeville part, which was given in the
ballroom on a stage improvised in one
corner. represented the best of the profess
sional talent now on the bills at the two
vaudeville theaters, and some exception
ally good local talent.
The first turn on the programme was by
Carroll Johnson, the famous blackface min
strel, who, through the courtesy of Man
ager Ziegler, of the Grand, sang a couple
of his popular songs and added some in
teresting monologue that is not feature
of his regular turn. He was recalled sew
eral times, and there was an emphatic de-
mand for his temperance, which, how
ever, he could not satisfy. A feature from
the Empire Theater was the Mozart Com
edy -Four, whose quartet work in grotesque
costume was extremely pleasing. Manager
Ziegler contributed another good turn in
Colby the ventriloquist. Another Empire
turn, by Washburn and Grant, song and
dance performers, brought several encoreS
because of its novelty and excellence.
Other numbers were contributed by the
ST. Clair sisters, singers and dangers,
Georgia Whitehead. Rose Corndell, ORR
sleight-of-hand performance was of high
character, and Charles Wulf, monologuist.
The programme, though long, retained the
entire audience until its conclusion.

be asked to require Generals Chaffee and
Smith to produce all the correspondence
covering the policy pursued in Samar and
other disturbed parts of the islands. The
request sets forth that there is no record
here on the subject and adds that the de-
Tense expects to show by General Chaffee
the character of the warfare he dsired to
be waged in Samar and that General Chat
fee approved the orders which General
Smith issued as being necessary. Continu-
ing, the request says that the defense ex-
poets to prove that the orders of Major
Glenn were in strict, literal compliance
with the orders of his superiors and that
Major Irvine was present when Major
Glenn ordered Lieutenant Caulfeld, who ex-
ecuted the native guides, 10 report the in
cident. Conklin was Major Glenn's secre-
tary in Samar.

tition for a writ of error in the case OF
Thomas Kepner, an attorney charged with
defrauding client. The case will go TO

lowing the Spanish custom, the prosecution

ant guilty. The appeal to Washington is
based on the defendants former jeopardy
The success of the appeal will affect many
cases.

FIREMAN ROOSEVELT.
President Given Card of Honorary
Membership in the Brotherhood.

WASHINGTON, Dec. I3.-President
Roosevelt was to-day presented with a
card of honorary membership in the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen. Hon
orary membership in the organization was
conferred on him when he attended the
convention held in Chattanooga about the
middle of last September. To-day John j.
Hannahan, grand master, Charles A. VIII
son, first grand master, and +. w, Arnold,
grand secretary and treasurer. called at
the executive mansion offices. Grand Mas
ter Mammalian made the preSentati ton
speech in the Presidents Office, expressing
In happy language the pleasure ii afforded
him and the membership of the entire order
he represented to confer honorary member
ship upon him. President Roosevelt re-
sponded in felicitous manner, expressing
his own pleasure at being enrolled as a
member of the great organization.

ADVICE
To Christmas shoppers.

1t is always a hard proposition for most
people TO decide on appropriate and suita-
bic remembrances for their friends and
many business men haven't time to look
around and post themselves as to what is
being shown by the leading shops of the
city. There are also great many business
men who want TO give their employees some
nice token of remembrance and show their
appreciation for good services rendered, but
haven't the time to so out and look around
and don't really know what would please
this and that one. To meet this busy
class of prospective purchasers the Tog-
gerry Shop of GERRITT A. ARCHIBALD
& co. has inaugurated a very complete
system of order blanks or a Christmas
card calling for a stipulated sum (as
agreed upon between the distributor of
these cards and themselves) In trade at
their establishment. In this way il enables
the giver TO give just what he feels able
TO give, and the receiving end of the trans
action gets exactly what he wants and
needs, and is much better pleased than he
would be if he received something he had
no use for whatever.
This is miniature sample OF the card
issued. LII is a good idea, and one a great
many firms or companies should adopt in
remembering their employees. The special
inducements attached TO this method will
be explained by Mr.. Archibald.

as the police were on them before they re-
allied their position. The men caught were
mostly coachmen employed by North Side
families.
Scheigert deployed his men about the
clubrooms and guarded every place where
IL was thought man might try to get
away. The place has been suspected of
being used for gambling purposes for some
time. When the men had been stationed
about the building Scheigert raped on tbe
front door for admission. John Elkins man
ager of the club. opened the door and adj
mitted the sergeant. The men were found
standing around pool table on which were
dice and money. Elkins charged with

DECLARES FOR MARSHALL.



Representative Elias H. Owen, of Rock
vile. who enjoys the distinction of being
one OF the two oldest members of the
House In point of service. was at the Eng
lish yesterday. Representative Owen has
served two terms in the House and this
winter will be his third. Representative
Henry w. Marshall Of Lafayette, Is the
only other member who has been elected
three consecutive times.
Il think I'll vote for Marshall" said
Representative Owen. when asked how he
stood on the speakership question. II
couldn't very well go back on my oldest
colleague. Marshall and 1 have been
through two sessions together and we
ought TO stand together this winter
Representative Owen was one of the
active advocates of the gravel-road legisla-
ton enacted by the last Legislature, and
last night he said that he thought Indiana
has as good road laws now as any State
could wish. He did not think that there
should be any tampering with them this
winter. When asked IL he had any bills to
introduce he said that he had prepared
none as yet.
81 am not especially interested I'm any
legislation for this session." ne said, but
there is one law that / would like to see
amended-the one regarding the paroling
of prisoners. Under the present law a pris-
oner Is paroled and If he conducts himself
properly for year he is discharged 1 do
not think that he should be discharged until
the full period of his original sentence has
expired.
I'VE have two cases over i'm our county
that illustrate this. Two prisoners were
paroled and they behaved themselves for
twelve months until they received their
final discharge. Then they commenced
drinking again and while they have nor
been mixed up In any serious trouble as
Yet IL Will come sooner or later If the
original sentence was still over them and
they were liable to reimprisonment if they
did not behave themselves strictly tbey
might eventually be made good Citizens. As
IL Is they have been good only so long ms
they had TO be. n change in the law would
work no injustice on any man and I he
lieve that IL would be a good thing for
every prisoner"

DAMAGING TO DUDLEY.
Amdavits Secured by Attorney Gen
era1 frow Robinson, Ill.

Attorney General W. L. Taylor yesterday
received a number Of affidavits of citi-
zens of Robinson, ILL.,. which he will intro
duce as evidence at the hearing of ex-Sher-
if Dudley, of Sullivan, when the case is
reopened Tuesday forenoon. While the ma
tiire of these affidavits is not known. and

weight with the Governor. They relate TO
the conduct of Dudley and his associates
