To starve out the. Anarchists.

Paterson, N. j., June 21.-Private de-
.tectives have been engaged to shadow
the leading reds. The anarchists are to
be induced to leave Paterson quietly II
possible. If they do not go, a commit
tee of capitalists is said to have its own
plan of action. One Of the. methods to
be, employed Is said to be the keeping
tbf a blacklist and no matter where in
Paterson a man on 1t obtains work his
employer will be ~notifedxt ito dismiss him.
Is If this plan be carried out it will starve
out of the city all anarchists who may
come here. It is said the committee has
s250,000 pledged by the men composing
it to carry out it's purposes.

Acting on this woman's statement, the

The Foul Play Theory.
Another theory credited by some police
officers is that Norbeck was the victim
of foul play, and that he may have been
murdered. s
There's many a rough mug in the red
light district said an officer who travels
a beat in that neighborhood, who would
not think anything of giving a man
rap over the head for much less money
than Norbeck had on him. From all ac-
counts he had not less than 81, 200 on his
person at the time. He certainly had 5000
or $500 Of his own money and Carrie En-
erson, certainly handed him $500. If he
was stumbling drunk, he would have been
an easy mark for some one who needed
the money. Maybe they didn't intend to
kill him, but a knockout blow Is some
times fatal. Besides, thug with murder

without having been frozen out in

salt Lake Drug company, left last
evening on his way to Nome.
Alaska is a lucky place for SimOns
When others engaged in the same kind
of enterprises. lost money up there
Stmons was successful. Managing with
equal versatility an obstinate steer OF
a contrary soubrette. he has taken into
Alaska as many cattle and more va
riety shows than any other adven-
tuver. The summer after Nome S
riches were discovered Simons' variety
show was the only one that made
money, notwithstanding the fact that
he had such competitors as Lucky
Baldwin and John Considine.
Even a manager of big opera COM
pany would be dismayed at the diff
iculty and expense Of transporting a
theatrical troupe in Alaska BefE'e
the White Pass and Yukon road was
constructed Simons took a vaudeville
show. consisting Of thirty persons, over
White Pass. across Lake Lebarge and
down the river to Dawson. Before the
river had frozen up for the fall the
company had gone on down the river
TO Nome, where they played all winter.
How He Ran the Rapids.
Going through the rapids Simons put
four of his acTobats in charge of the
boats, while a man ran along on the
banks holding ropes. which were close
enough to the boats for the tumbleTs
TO grab in case Of wreck. The rest of
the company walked around the rapids,
hut SimOns' expedient saved the trou-
bic of unloading the boats, which was
the usual method in those days.
One of the young women who went
with Simons to the north has amassed
an Independent fortune. Laura Sher-
wood had no stage experience and was
only IS when she joined his thea tTicaI
company. Persons who go to Alaska,
however, as performers, have to per
form or starve, and the audiences up
there are not too eXacting, especially
in the case of a good looking young
woman, so Miss Sherwood finally evO-
luted into a star, receiving both the
p.dudits and the gold of the Nome
miners. Sensibly enough, she conclUd-
ed to remain where she knew she was
successful, and not risk the chances
of a debut in the states.
Nome is going to be a splendid
country this year." said Simons last
evening before he took the train for
the north. Judge Wickersham, who
has superseded the Moves and McKen-
zie outfit, is an honest man and an
able lawyer. The litigation which tied
up NOme's wealth is practically ended
and under Understands regime the
camp viii boom. A federal judge at
Nome is almost as great as a king
elsewhere, and it is most important he
should be an upright man, Everyone
acquainted with affairs in Alaska is
rejoicing at Understands appoint
ment"
SimOns expects to stop in Missoula
few days and then go on to Spokane,
where Johnnie Cassidy, his theatrical
manager, has corralled a lot Of new
variety actors as recruits for SimOns'
companies in the north.

How Billy West Was Upset for Once

theatrical colony at BensOnhurst, Long

build a residence where ne could spend
the few weeks of the year that be has TO

ms wears of fitting about from one hotel
to another, West and his wife had slowly
matured a thousand plans about the house
when it should at last be built. As many
Of them as were archltecturahy possible

About the time the finishing touches

West got twinge Of rheumatism and
hurried away to West Baden, leaving his
wife installed in the new house with
card of directions for using some of the
improvements which had been sprung on
them BY enthusiastic agents and prCmot-

that the minstrel went away to the
springs leaving his wife alone. He feared
something would explode or run down or
burn out or do something unaccountable
while he was gone. Therefore, it was
with a sinking heart that he received this
message from the clerk in the West Ba-
den hotel: Your wife wants 10 talk to
you on the Iong-distance telephone
Nothing less than a fire and total de-
structiOn of the house sprang into West
mental vision. What else would warrant
such instant action as the long-dlstance
teleDhone from Long Island to West Ba-
den Ind? In an agony of suspense, West

when he had grown half-frantic, he heard
his wife's familiar voice:
