a False Afhdavit.

Mrs. LOUISE Ele, 81 South West street.
called at the police station yesterday after
noon and teld Captain Hyland that her
fourteen yeaf-old daughter. Belle Hoke, had
on Sunday afternoon married William Haw-
kins. nineteen-year-old young man, much
against the will and wishes of the parents
of both of the young people. She wanted
the police to go TO the home of Hawkins
and bring the youthful bride by force to the
police statiop, and there turn her over to
her own peogle.
The marriage license was secured on Sat-
urday through false affidavit made by
man giving his name as John Brown, who
swore that beth the contracting parties were
legally old eaough to marry The police in
formed the Woman that the best thing she
could do wsuld be to go herself to her
daughter ana persuade her to come back to
her home kcting on that suggestion, Mrs
Ele went at Dnce to the home OF her son-in-
law and talked things over with her daugh-
ter. Within an hour she returned triumph
ant to the police station arm in arm with
her daughtes, who. she said, was perfectly
willing to leave her husband and return to
the home she had left but a day before

nant, and threatened to bring suit against
his mother-ih-law for alternating his wife's
affections.

A Republican who is one of the many who
believe in fair play calls attention to the
following extract from the News's introduce
ton of the Beverage meeting at Tomlinson
Hall Saturday night:
THAT the people had turned out to hear
Mr.. Beverage was evidenced by the rapid
clearing of the hall following the conclusion
of the senator's speech"
Every one who was present at this large
and enthusiastic meeting is aware of the
fact that only very few, perhaps one hun
dred out of the magnificent audience of over
three thousand-left the hall after Senator
Beverage had spoken. These may have
been Democrats or Republicans, but the
proportion Was extremely small and was
remarked upon at the time. Practically the
entire audience remained to hear Mayor
Bookwalter, and cheered him most enthu-
Siastically.
The unfairness of the News in its report
of the meeting is referred to by this voter
and others an example of the policy the
News has pursued during the campaign.

Instead of Favoring Hoffman Ii Fa-

The anti-administration organs have been
making an unusual effort to show that the
tide has turned toward Hoffman and the
Democratic ticket by reiterating that the
betting has changed so materially that ev-
erything indicates the election of Hoffman
The Sentinel. in its yesterdays issue. said
that the trend of the betting Is growing
more and more favorable to the Democrats.
AS a matter of fact the trend is in exactly
the opposite direction.
Last night there was an abundance of
Bookwalter money on all the betting boards
walter money at the odds of Z to 5, which
have been the prevailing odds during the
campaign, and he had no Hoffman money.
At Walkers board there was approximately
$500 of Bookwalter money at the same
odds. while there was but SIS of Holtzrnan
money. and that small amount was asking

There has been no time within the past
three months when there has not been an
abundance of Republican money at the odds

The bettors, who are cold-blooded individ-

it than the patrons of the Empire have be-
come accustomed to expect in burleSque
performances, while at the same time the
music is new and catchy, and the chorus is
full of life ans adorned with attractive COS
tunes. The stage settings are effective
especially that of the closing burlesque,
1.-The Widows at Sea-" in which a ship,
storm-tossed and buffeted by the waves,
is reproduced $50 realistically as to give the
spectators an. uneasy feeling in the Vicln-
ity OF the equator. Bert Leslie, an old favor
lite at the Empire, carries the burden of the
fun-makng, ef course and he does II well,
both in the blrlesque and in his sketch In
the oliO.
The olio is ooened by Anna Peyser, who is
shapely AMI comedy miss, and can sing
songs in a manner especially effective with
the Empire audiences. The Simpsons-James
and Flora-drum and xylophone experts,
are all that tile programme claims Tor them,
and the audience almost refused TO let them
go yesterday afternoon. Simpsons render
ing of the Poet and Peasant overture on
the xylophonc is little short of a marvel in
execution. The Bison City Quartet is like
all other Quartets, only it is better than
most of those that come Empireward. The
members can sing, and they have the good
judgment not TO make their making
tiresome. Bert Leslie, in his sketch. "fIo-

local favorite. He was given a hand
when he CAME out TO sing his illustrated
ballads at the close OF the olio, and he was
more than generously rewarded for each
song he sang. Falk has clear, high tenor

PARNELL HALL MEETING.


The Democratic managers. becoming
alarmed at the success and results of the
mass meeting of Jews in Parnell Hall last
Thursday night, sought to counterfeit the
effect of that meeting by holding a Holtz-
man meeting for the Jews in the same hall
last night. About one hundred men and
boys gathered in the hall, but there were
not more than six or eight Jews in the
crowd.
Rafael Schmidt presided and introduced
W. NJ. Fogarty and z. w. Little to hold
the audience until Hoffman could finish at
Alhambra Hall and get over to Parnell.

.Mr. DooIey" at the Park.

A bright new musical farce 1.-THE Funny
Mr. Dooley,' was presented at the Park
yesterday afternoon and last night before
overlooking audiences that seemed i'm
mensely pleased with the new show. The
piece is by Frank d. Bryan, who has not
troubled himself about a plot, but who has
written some comical dialogue and a full
dozen of very catchy songs. With a good
cast to enact the farce and twenty pretty
chorus girls to sing and dance and make
things merry generally, "The Funny Mr..
Dooley" looks as if it ought to prove one
of the hits of the season on the popular
price circuits.
Paul Quinn appears in the title role In
like the Mr.. Dooley of Peter Dunno fame,
this Mr.. Dooley is foolish enough to get
fieeced out of fortune. You never heard
of the Chicago philosopher being roped in
that way This Mr.. Dooley of the stage
story gets mixed up with the pretty chorus
girls and then goodness only knows what
becomes of the plot of the piece. But for
that matter NOBODY cares. The three acts
are crowded with music and specialties.
The merry maidens sing rag-time ditties

the background and do lot of other equal

hits yesterday, but the that seemed to

dered by Mr.. Quinn, whose impersonation
of the comic Irishman causes continuous
roars of laughter. His ditty called Chi
cago' is well sung and receives much ap-
clause.
Charles H. Smith plays the part of DR..
Skinem in acceptable style and Frank Man
ming wins many laughs in the character of
Hans Dinklespiel. Miss Maggie MeClair
does some character work in the role of
Mrs. Phyllis McFadden and May Walsh
Edith Murray and the many other pretty
girls of the organization contribute toward
the success of the show.

MAYOR KEPT BUSY.
In All He Attended Four Meetings
During the Evening.

In all Mayor Bookwalter attended four
Republican meetings last night, all of
which were attended by enthusiastic
crowds. One of the meetings was held in
Sanders Chapel, at the corner of Barth
avenue and Sanders street, and was at
tended by about two hundred colored vot-
ers. Besides Mayor Bookwalter, Gurley
Brewer and Rev. w. Ii. Chambers ex-
pounded the issues of the campaign to the
negroes. Mayor Bookwalter talked along
the lines that he has in his former speeches,
enumerating the good things accomplished
by the administration and asking the ne
groes not only to stand up for Indianapolis,
but for the Republican party, which has
always stood for their equal rights.
One of the other meetings was held in
Haughvile and was Polish meeting.
Mayor BOokwalter did not speak long there,
as he had to cut his address short in order
to reach the Marion Club. Besides his
talks, there were two others, one in Polish
and one in HANBACK,. There were about
250 in the audience.
The third meeting was private one in a
house on North Illinois street just beyond
Fall creek.
