HOMESTEAD TONIGHT.
Elaborate Presentation at the Opera
House

The long talked of production of the
Old Homestead takes place tonight at
the opera house with local talent, eX-
professional and amateur. There are
but few seats left on sale and a crowd
ed house is in prospect.
The performance promises to be a
notable one, much pains having been
taken over scenery and general details
while much valuable accessories as the
Tuxedo Quartete, the Philharmonic Or
chestra and Janet Waldorf are added.
Hugo Herzer has an interpolated' song
to add to the already lengthy musical
program.
The play will be repeated on Saturday
evening, the seat sale being already
opened at Wall, Nichols & Company.
Patrons are particularly requested to
be in their seats on time to facilitate a
departure in due time. The manage
ment neither desires to make the per-
formance a lengthy one, nor to mar
the opening act by submitting it to the

CENTRAL COMMITTEE MAKES
AN APPEAL TO LEGISLATURE.

At a meeting of the Republican exc
Cut'Ne committee yesterday afternoon
the matter of passing the loan bill was
discussed and the committee decided to
send a letter to each member of the

tension of the session, but will probably
be an extra session for appropriations
only and the members of the committee
were Of the opinion that if the legisla-
ture fails to get the loan bill through
before adjournment next week, the Re
personalities and Senators will be ac-
cused by their constituents of failing to

1T seems to this committee that the
Loan bill is the most important mea-
sure now before the House of Repre-
sentatives for consideration. 1t is
hardly necessary to draw your atten-
ton to it's urgency, or to the depend
encc of Hawaii upon its passage, for
the extension of Public Works which
means progression and increased pros
perity in every section of the Territory.
Il am directed by the Executive Com
mittee to ask your careful personal con-
sideration of this subject and to urge
you to make a determined effort 90
press it's passage, through the House of
Representatives, in the interests Of that
section of the Territory which you re-
present | am, yours faithfully,

MARION, Ind, Aug. 3-The labor situa-
ton in Marion is still muddled. A crowd
of two hundred unionists, headed by band,
this evening followed the nonunion work
men who have taken places In the Gem
mer engine works from the factory to the
street-car line four blocks away, but there
was no violence. Two of the nonunion
machinists who worked last week did not
report this morning and the locked out men
claim this a point in their favor. The
men who quit say they could not stand the
humiliation of being called 'scabs' and
marched home each evening by a jeering
crowd.
II was reported to-day that sixteen nom
union machinistS of Chicago will be import
ed to work in the Gemmer factory and that
they Will arrive tomorrow.
The lockout men have picketS stationed
about the factory who stop men applying
for positions and talk with them, explain
ing the existing conditions In about every
case the men turn back and refuse to go
to work
1t is expected that several hundred union
lists will be in attendance at the meeting Of
the Central Trades Council Tuesday night,
when 1t Is expected that some plan of set
Element will be devised. Edgar A. Perkins.
president of the Indiana State Federation
Of Labor, is expected to be present at this
session.
l.. p Mccormack, state labor commits
sioner arrived In the city this evening from
Indianapolis and will endeavor to bring
about a settlement of the labor difficulties
in this city. Mr.. Mccormack is not yet
much acquainted with the situation, but
he hopes to bring about an amicable agree
ment. He will hold conference tomorrow
with the stockholders of the Gemmer En-
CINE Company and review the situation
with them. 1t is said that some of the
stockholders do not understand the difficult
ty it exists, and 1t is believed that after
a conference of both sides an understand
ing may be reached.
Mr.. Mccormack will be in attendance at
the meeting of the Central Trades Council
tomorrow evening and address the men.
An invitation has been extended to every
union in the city to be present at this seS-
sion. A referendum vote has been taken
during the past ten days to put a ban on
the goods of the Gemmer engine works
and the National sweeper factory.
The rain this evening had a tendency to
keep down the crowd which took part in
the usual demonstration about the factory.
