RABBITS "LEXOW'
MAYOR OF CEDAR RAPIDS NAMES
COMMITTEE TO. INVESTIGATE.
Alderman Hughes Secures Passage of
Resolution Providing for a Commit
tee to Look Into Charges That Have
Been Made Against Officials.

Cedar Rapids, July 16-Alderman
Gil meeting with his little "Lexow"
resolution and it was passed without
dissenting voice, despite the opnosi-
ton manifested two weeks ago. The
mayor appointed on the ''Lexow" COM
mittee Aldermen Cushman, Allison and
Slapnicka, who will make thorough
investigation of the charges against
the head and certain employees of the
streets and walks department.
The Charges.
The charges will come up in the
form of affidavits, which, it is alleged,
will show that the employees of the
street department have had to "whack
up" regularly in order to hold their
jobs, that large amount of work has
been done by employees of the depart
ment for private parties and payment
taken therefor; that the city treasury
has never seen the color of a coin &C.
cepted for outside work by these city
employees, and that Superintendent
Moore knew all the time what was go,
ing on.
Other Irregularities Charged.
1t is up to the people who have made
the charges to prove them now, and if
it is done there will be something do
ing. Mayor Huston, it is said, knows
where a large amount of material be-
longing to the city has been hauled
and piled up, being sawed by city en-
ployes on city time. 1t is alleged that
the records of Coe college show $40
grab" that Treasurer Davendorf never
had turned in to him. The hauling of
cinders from the cereal mills has been
another long graft, according to report,
and several charges in this connection
will be investigated.

Senior Class Play.

The Senior class of the Sank Centre
high school gave an entertainment on
Friday evening which was credit to
every participant, and was Witnessed
! by a delighted audience OF gOodly
proportions. For some time the class
has been in training under the we'll
directed and patient direction oi Miss
Sanford, and she has reasons to lie
heartily satisfied with results The
muric-piano duets by the Boon broth
ers WAS an enjoyable feature, they
showing pronounced talent, and the
violin solo by Miss Margaret Norris,
with piano accompanimtnt hy Miss
Mary Woodbury., won hearty APP
plause.
The first part, "Dream of Fair
Women" was an unique and pleasing
entertainment. 1t was a series of liv-
ing, speaking pictures, or tableaux.
iilustI alive OF the text read by Mrs
Geo. A. Stanton. Her rendering was
y ..
in costume, were: Helen of Troy, EN-
ma Baldwin; Iphegenia, Vera Parker;
Cleopatra. Lucille Greene; Jepthah's
daughter, Minda Lovaas, Fair Rosa
mund, Anna Fredlund; Joan of Arc,
Ethel Veeder.
The play, Cool Collegians, was a
very happy little comedy in two acts,
"a sort of comedy of errors, two of
the leading char acters. college stud
ents, exchanging identity for the pur-
pose If deceiving the dowager aunt of
one of them, and to gain their ends in
CERTAIN love entanglements. The
play was full of funny situations and
embarrassing conditions. but it works
itself out to conclusion happy to all.
Will Kay and Julius Sell, the con,
spring college students, were very
good indeed. They caught the spirit
as we'll as the lines, and brought it
ont sharply to the delight of the audi
ence. Ernest Henderson, as Mugglns,
the colored servant, was as cute as
C 'uld be. He exempted the keen
darkey very sharply.
The part of the aunt, Mrs Huntoon,
the victimef the conspiracy, was. salts
factorily carried by Myra Hendryx.
She made typical society dowager.
The parts of the two young ladies,
who become cons picuou> necessities by
reason of there being two young men
in the play, were all that could be ex-
pected of them-they were cultivated
young society ladies, and there was a
naturalness about their whole bearing
which was peculiarly good.
Kate, the Irish servant girl, by En-
ma Baldwin, was excellent, il rich
brogue and appropriate action. She
fairly shared the honors with the 9TH
err young ladies.
1t fact, all who participated were ex-
cellent. AS the professionals would
say: every member a star.
