Lincoln Hose Gave Pleasing En-
tertainment in Music Hall
Last Night.
JOKES ON LOCAL MEN,
The Affair Was One Of the Most Success
ful Given in This City This Season
Large Audience Was Pres ent and Had
Merry Time-was a Decided Success
Financially.

The entertainment given by the
Lincoln Hose Company in Music Hall
last night, was a complete success
financially as we'll as socially. One
of the members of the committee, who
had charge of the entertainment, said
that the whole affair had been gotten
up at considerable expense but they had
a large audience. He thought about
500 would cover the amount cleared.
The play was given entirely by pro-
fsssionals and it was clean, up-to-
date show. Ransom, as a mystifica-
tion and later as a professor exposing
his own tricks, proved a bowling
success. R. v. Mohr, as caricatur-
ist, pictured policeman and afforded
considerable amusement, and later as
ventriloquist brought down the
house with his singing. He also
developed the fact that John Danner
was the handsomest fireman in the
building and he pictured fireman s
dream amid cheers and laughter.
w. J. DAILY, the monologuist, kept
the house in merriment while between
the acts two comedians had everybody
laughing with their pretty songs and
dances.
AS part of the program, were few
facts concerning the condition of our
fire department.. There were direct
hits and showed the need of improve
ments.
The committee who had charge of
the entertainment are Thomas Cluney,
chairman, Charles Mckenzie, James
M. Glenn. Louis Fl. VanHorn, John
Danner and Howard Cottrell.

The subject of trading stamps has
again been agItating the local mer.
chants for several days. Some time
ago the merchants of this city dis
covered that the Red Star Stamp Com
pany, of Newark, was trying to get a
foothold here and a majority of the
local merchants determined to fight
the matter at once.
The idea of giving out stamps in
Perth Amboy was tried once before
and proved failure. The merchants
have held a meeting and appointed q
committee of five who recently can
vassed stores in town and they find
the merchants very much against the
stamps. Any stamp compaam trying
to locate here will hasl ht fol
its life.

TEACHERS MAY YET
WAIT FOR SALARIES.
Pay Day Friday and No Prospects of Getting Money IN &g
clerk Cover Says Warrants viii be Made Out Tomorrow oUt
Comptroller Voorhees, Says He WNNot Sign Them.

The warrants for the public school
teachers salary this month are due ON
Friday without the slightest prospect
of their being honored by Comptroller
Voorhees,. The warrants drawn by
the clerk and signed by Mr.. Poulsen,
president pro. tenn, of the Board OF
Education, for bills passed by that
body two weeks ago, still remain un-
signed by the comptroller. This is
the exact condition of affairs concern
ing the much discussed school situa-
ton as found by News reporter this
morning.
Clerk Colyer, when seen this morn
ing, said that the warrants for bills
passed at the last regular meeting
have been duly drawn and signed by
the president pro tenn. and that by to-
morrow morning the teachers warrants
would also be ready for the comp
troller's signature. So far Comptroll-
er Voorhe has kept his word when
he said in his communication sent to
the Board of Education that he would
have to refuse to sign any more
warrants until that body was properly
organized with a president.
CITY Attorney Hommann, when
seen. said that he had not changed his
opinion in respect to the school board
and when asked if he was going to
take any action as had been threaten
ed should the board fail to organize,
he replied, "Not at present. =" Mr..
Hommann looked up the laws OF 1913
which is the basis of his opinion upon
which Comptroller Voorhees, is act
ing. The law reads that all school
warrants shall be duly signed by the
clerk and president of said board and
properly audited by the city comp
troller and finally signed by the city
treasurer.
COMPTROLLER Voorhees,, when seen,
said that while he would like to sign
the warrants and see everyone get
their money as much as any one else,
under the present conditions he Would
have to refuse. He said further that
the new law from which the city
attorney took his authority, was pass
ed for the purpose of giving the
Comptroller the full power to audit
all school accounts. This department,
he said, city comptroller never law
fully had control of before, for in this
same law it provides for the furnish
ing of bonds to assumesthe additional
responsibility.
1.-The law is very clear to me- said
Mr.. Voorhees,, land l am sorry for
those who may suffer as conse-
quence. p"
Others interested in the controversy
say that the settling of the question
remains with those to whom the
: money is due. 1t is for them to act
through the courts to compel the board
to pay them. Others say that had the
politicians kept their hands off, the
board would have come together and
organized long ago and there would
have been no need of the present
complications.

Blaze Discovered in Rear of Jos.

Store.
SOON UNDER CONTROL

Fire was discovered in the living
rooms back of the store kept by Joseph
Zielinski at Hall avenue and Cort-
landt street. An alarm was sounded
shortly before 8 O'Clock this morning
from box 56 and Mcclellan Hose was
on the spot in short order. They
soon had stream of water playing
and before Protection Hook and Ladder
arrived the fire was under control.
The hooks were assisting Mcclellan
to put a stream on the building when
the hose burst, giving them all a
soaking.
The fire, which was said to have
been caused by the explosion of a
gasoline stove did about 800 damage.
When the alarm sounded the mem
bers of Lincoln Hose Company refused
to pull their carriage and the horses
they use, which are kept in a nearby
stable, were out. After waiting about
twenty minutes the horses arrived,
but the fire was then under control.

STREET PAVING.

The action of Mayor Queries and the
council in devising the ways and means
through which to secure street i'm
provements is commendable in the high
est degree. Street paving means better
streets, and city's progress may be
measured by the local pride of its citi-
zens. Shreveport is a progressive town,
and therefore must move onward. 1t is
true that the paving OF streets is costly,
but there is compensation in the in
creased valuation of property On the
streets paved and in the satisfaction OF
travel over such streets. While there is
some opposition to the paving of some
streets, it is the Caucas;an's opinion
that an overwhelming majority in num-
Der and in valuation will be recorded
in favor Of the bond issue at the cleo
ton which is to be held on May IL
In such an undertaking, in such an en-
terprise, no citizen who is concerned in
the development of the city, in the in
crease of property valuation can afford
to be penny-wise and pound foolish. 2
