constitute large part of their for

girls now playing in Boston have
formed the Copyright Face Club"

the movement, Daisy Dumont, Gussie

man, arrived in this city Sunday from
Charleston, w. Va, and both admitted
there was some basis for story that
they had mistreated Hon. w. G. Cald-
well, a member of the West Virginia
legislature, in the latter city, but de-
clared the affair had been grossly ex-
aggerated. They said they were on
their way to the station and hailed q
cab occupied by Caldwell, who object
ed 10 them boarding it. Inasmuch as
the driver authorized them to enter
they proceeded to do so, despite the
protestations of Caldwell, who, they
say. poured out a torrent of abuse
upon their heads. One Of the party
struck the man, but neither Hanna
nor Winder thought he was hurt very
badly.
