MATRIM0NY OR DEATH
The Choice May Smith Sought to
Impose Upon Roy Will
liams.

May Smith, formerly of Winona. but
now residing at 1925 Second street S,
made an Intellectual attempt to shoot Roy
Williams in the Palisade mill last night.
She fired upon him at short range but the
bullet struck a rib and glanced intlicting
but slight flesh wound. Williams was
taken to the city hospital but was able
to go home a little later. The woman was
locked up at the central police station.
The woman entered the shipping room
of the mill shortly after 7 o'clock and
began to talk to Williams. The two con-
versed a few minutes and then the woman
was heard to say:
'Then I understand you do not intend
to keep your promise to marry me?'
mo, 1 am through with you and do not
want to see you again. replied the man.
Before anyone could interfere the Wom-
an drew a pistol and fired. She then
turned and ran from the mill, pursued by
several men who had witnessed the shoot
ing. Ase the crowd came too near, she
turned and fired several shots. The WON
an then proceeded unrnolested to her room
nearby and remained there until arrested
a little later by Detectives Howard and
De Laittre. When taken to the central
police station she said that she was sorry
that she had not killed Williams.
Williams was taken to the city hospital
and was attended by DR.. A. A. Law. The
bullet struck a rib and, glancing, inflicted
but slight flesh wound.

BRYANT'S BURLESQUERS "A,
THE DEWEY y

There is troupe Of Japs at the Dewey
this week whose feats have never been
duplicated in Minneapolis. If the, enter
tainment provided outside of this act were
mediocre the Japs would still be worth
the price of admission, but that is not the
case, for Harry Bryant's Burlesquers give
a really good show. Al Lawson and Fran
ces Namon have an excellent bicycle rid
ing and bag punching turn; the Craigs
contribute a musical act worthy Of the
name; Van Leer and Duke present funny
sketch; Ferguson and Watson hove an
amusing "patter" turn, and Beach and
BURY entertain with a sketch entitled "A
Peep in the Dressing Room" which is
entirely destitute Of sensational disrobing
acts or anything that might offend
modesty.
Two burlesques are presented. Ellis
Honor the Mayor and '.The Hobo Baron. -
Both are by George Totten Smith, who
has already achieved an enviable reputa-
ton along this line of play-writing. The
comedy is good and much Of the music
new and catchy The costumes are all
that they should be, and the scenery Is
effective, but the company Is not remark
ably strong in the matter Of voices. 81.

PETER IS TOO SWIFT
Sails From New York Just Early
Enough to Escape Officers Of
the Law.
He Is Peter Christianson. Wanted
for DESERVING His Wife at ~:
Brooklyn. MINI. 81

Officers chased Peter Christianson, a
farmer of Brooklyn, Mimi, from ST.. Paul
to New York city, and the message to ar
rest the man on a charge Of DESERVING his
family arrived in New York few minutes
after the steamer, bearing him to Den
mark. had cleared the port. .-- .-
Peter Christianson left his home in
Brooklyn last Friday. Taking with him
his two boys. aged and s years re-
spectively. and leaving his wife in desti-
tute circumstances, he started for Den
mark. A message was sent to Minneapo-
lis to intercept him, but it was learned
that while he checked his baggage from
this city he did not board the train here.
It was supposed that he had gone to st.
Paul to start and officers We're asked to
arrest him there. They. were not able to
find him and nothing more was done about
the matter.
Meanwhile Christianson's neighbors at
Brooklyn Center We're greatly incensed
| over his actions and a purse Of 500 was
raised to pay the expense of bringing the
man back to Minneapolis. Superintendent
| of Police 3. F. Waite was informed Of the
purse yesterday afternoon and began an
investigation. He learned that Christian
son had purchased a steamship ticket fol-
Bremen and that the steamer would leave
at o'clock this afternoon.
Without q moments hesitation MI,
waite wired the ponce IN new YORK city
| to arrest Christensen and hold him fol-
| q Minnesota officer. The message was
| sent and a little later information was re:
| ceived that the steamer had cleared the
| port at O'Clock this morning. q
superintendent Waite was greatly dis
appointed when he learned that the mar
| had eluded his grasp as he was partic-
ularly anxious that he be returned tc
| Minnesota. Mrs. Christensen is said tt
be left In destitute circumstances while
Christianson took over 81 900 with him.

PREPARE TO SPEND FUND
War Department Will Probably Let
Smelling Have Over $4,000
for Post Exchange.

A wrong impression appears to have got
out as to the distribution of the appropria-
ton Of $500,0 900 for the construction and
fitting up of amusement rooms at army
posts, which was put into the military
appropriation bill by Senator Hansbrough
few days ago a paragraph was sent out
from Washington that Secretary Root had
approved plans for the erection of these
amusement rooms at army posts, and had
named Major French of the quartermaster
department as chief distributor. The ap-
proval by the secretary. OF a. recommended
ton Of Quartermaster General Ludington' >
that a board be appointed to devise plans
for the distribution of the fund, and that
Major French be made a member OF the
board, was what was given. -: -
Under the plans to be devised by this
board there is little doubt that permanent
posts like Forts Smelling and Meade will
be dealt with literally in the matter of
places of amusement for the enlisted men,
who have been robbed of a lounging place
since the canteen was abolished. In the
buildings to be- provided there will be ar
rangements for games. such as checkers,
cribbage, etc: In some instances pool and
billiard tables will be provided, and soft
drinks will be sold. An expenditure OF
from $4,000 to $4,000 will provide g
suitable amusement room for Fort Smell
ing with it's increased garrison, and 1t Is
probable that the board will provide for
an expenditure Of that amount. -.

THE DARRACH READING
A Wonderful Rendition Of 1.-THE Merchant
Of Venice" Without Stage


Better than whole Shaksperean pro-
duction" was the verdict of the select au-
dience which heard Marshall Darrach in
his reading Of THE Merchant Of Venice
at the First Unitarian church last eve
ming. Although he played many parts, he
proved himself an actor of such wonderful
ability, capable Of drawing many sharp
contrasts of character with such marvel
Gus modulations of voice, from the soft
pleading OF Portta to the hoarse rasping
Of the Jew, that a company of players,
with all the scenic accessories of the
stage, could hardly have given one bet
ter understanding Of the true inwardness
Of the play. Coupled with an exception
ally commanding stage presence is Mr..
barracks wonderful facial expression,
which enabled him fairly to take on the
outward appearance of the character por-
trayed. From the grim tragedy of Shy
lock TO the contagious mirth Of the bois-
ferrous Gratiano the audience hung
breathless on his impersonations or show
cred their heartiesu applause upon the
man before them.
The reading was the first in the series
to be given this season under the auspices
of Stanley Hall. Graduates of the school
acted as ushers last evening.
