& Fields's stage management. 1t Is
the best thing that has ever happened
for Master De Haven. Properly trained
he might develop c~leverness. Under his
mothers tuition he was headed straight
for n job as ~bill-poster or scene-Bhifter
Incidentally his mother was the biggest
bore of all theatrical mammas. Carriers
new job will relieve vaudeville of his
mothers conversation.
The trio OF which De Haven is the
nominal star head tine bill at Honder-
sons. As is usual with child acts. they
made quite a hit. This is rather due 10
the cleverness OF the two girls thai Ia
any brilliant display on the part OF Mas
ter DE Haven, who is extraordinarily
tiresome IN all imitation of james Rus

mainder OF his performance.
Henderson. is Offering decidedly good
bills at his Coney Island house. Last

really satisfactory musical performance.

work is accomplished on the copper
chimes. which they play exceedingly
we'll. They OFFER simply a musical act
without any complication in the matter
OF comedy. and please because they go
about their work in a thorough and
conscientious ann
More good music We had from the
Milani Trio. This speciality is composed
of a violinist, n g%uitarist n n French
horn performer. The ~guitarist, who Is
a new member OF the trio, possesses a
voice OF more than ordinary vocal abili-
ty and Is n decided addition to the act.
The whistling solo which has been the
chief blot upon their performance has
been eliminated. and both the violinist
and the player of the French horn con-
tribute excellent solos. Had the Milanis
been wise, they would have cut o. the
whistling solo after their first week in
town.
Another excellent musical Offering Is
contributed by Rsta Curtis. II vioiinist
who u few years ago was billed as an
infant prodigy. but who since that time
mas developed into n very graceful girl

in i~nteirSolating II trick violin specially
in which she plays the Irish asher
woman on n toy washboard and Com
ing Thro' the Rye using a whlskey
flask as n bow. This nay be very cute
according to Miss Curtis's ideas, but
she has passed the stage where such
dime museum performances are re-
uuired to attract attention.

RIVAL FOR STEEL TRUST
Crucible Steel Company Will Make
Hard FIGHT.

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. 16.-Since the
United States Steel corporation has
declined to take over half interest
in the Clarion Steel company, now
owned by the Crucible Steel company,
and after contract had been made
to do so, the officers of the Crucible
company have announced that they
will go ahead with the original plans
to make this great property powerful
competitor of the combine, and will
themselves raise the necessary funds
to do so. The fact that the company
owns it's ore lands, coking plants and
coal mines, the officers say, puts it
In an independent position for raw ma
terial. All it has to do now is to build
finishing mills to it's already enormous
works at Clarion to have one of the
newest and most modern steel works
in the country.
After long conference by the exc
cutive officers of the Crucible Steel
company the above announcement
was made by President Frank B.
Smith. He also stated that ut is prob
able that the larger operations of the
Clarion Steel company may require
the company to discontinue the divi-
dends on the preferred stock. If this
proves to be so, the directors will not
hesitate to suspend dividends while
the necessity exists"
The change in the officers announ-
ced brings back into harness as chair
man of the executive committee Will

tice participation in steel business
affairs, and also Reuben Miller, who
has been anxious to retire and has

BUTLER-5REMER CONTEST.
Mullan Holds. Convention Can B.
Held Day Before Election.


Des Moines, Oct. 19.-That the re-
publicans of the ButlerBremer dis
trict, in connection with the Soesbe-
Larkin dispute, have all the time they
want in which to hold a convention,
is the opinion of Attorney General
Mullan. That the question of recon
vening the convention is still in doubt
is equally certain from a telegram re-
ceived by The Register and Leader
from e. w. Soesbe, last night
Mr.. Soesbe wired that the matter
was still In the air, and that it had
not been definitely settled whether to
reconvene the convention or to have
the senatorial committee appoint the
candidate. Nothing has been heard
from n. II. Larkin, the deposed candi-
date
Mr.. Mullan's statement as to the
time of holding the convention sets
at rest the uncertainty of the Butler
county republicans. who wired the re.
publican state central committee as
to the extreme limit of time in which
the convention could be held.
In answer to question put to him
at Waterloo, where the attorney gen
eral spent Sunday, Mr.. Mullan said:
THE time of holding the election is
specifically provided for in the code
1t is only necessary to hold the con-
vention long enough before election to
get the name of the candidate on the
ballot. The name can be placed on
the ballot even after the tickets have
been delivered to the judges of cleo
ton, using paster to place the name
on the ballot +"
