MUSICAL FARCEAT THE DEWEY

Legitimate musical comedy replaces
vaudeville and burlesque at the Dewey
theater this week, and the change will
always be a welcome one when the COM
edy is of the same quality as that pre-
scented in "a Night on Broadway" The
plot of the farce is reminiscent of '"rhe
Girl From Maxim's' and one or two other
comedies, but the theme is worked out
in a novel manner and the situations are
undeniably mirth- provoking.
Harry Morris, in the role Of Henry
Flieder,= candy manufacturer and poll
tician, is the star Of the piece His work
is entirely original and he manages to
keep the audience in an uproar whenever
he is on the stage. The other principals
give adequate support Mildred Stroller.
in the role of La Miranda, the dancer;
Carrie Weber as the Vassar college grad
uate, and Harry Emerson as John, the
stumbling servant, deserves special men,
ton for their clever work. - IS
The hurnor, of the farce is entirely clean;
and the musical numbers of more am
bilious character than are usually heard
at the, Dewey. With, such voices as
those of Mildred Stroller, Carrie Weber,
Carl Anderson, and Edward Adams, how
ever, the songs were most acceptably
rendered. broadway After Twelve
Newport by the Sea- and 'Hinky Dee,'
made the greatest hits. The chorus work
is excellent and the costumes are striking,
though in good taste.
Frank Emerson, the champion bone So
loist, contributes the one speciality. His
work is very clever.

AFTER The SCALPER.
The Aim of Mayor Haynes in Rec.
ommending Inquiry Into Lo-
cal Coal Situation.
Coal Men Say They Sold No Coal
to Scalpers Latter Buy
in Chicago.

Outlining his reasons for recommending
an investigation into the local coal situa-
lon' pefore the council committee yes
terday, Mayor Haynes said he had been
actuated by the conviction that the coal
IN this; market was being handled to a.
great extent by scalpers. Before the stu
alton had become so serious, the public
had been assured by the legitimate coal
dealers That the scalper and broker would
pc eliminated and the speculation in an
thraclte would be frowned down. The
scalper had nevertheless managed to get
into the game. The object of the inyes-
tigation should be to ascertain whether
the local dealers We're influential enough
TO exclude the scalper from this field
and distribute coal through the regular
channel. -.
Manager N. S. Coffin of the Pioneer
fuel company said the only explanation of
the coal shortage was that the supply at
the mines had given out. The lake route
was the natural highway for coal for the
northwest. but the close of navigation
soon after the resumption of mining
operations had forced this section to rely
on all-rail shipments. He denied that his
company had furnished coal to small
dealers.
Ralph T. Whitney, city sealer of weights
and measures, had been informed by one
OF the scalpers that he bought his coal in
SAA1CdSO dt oil d IOIl ana SOlO IL mere at
a profit of 81 or 50 a ton. So far as he
could discover local dealers had no hard
coal in their yards.
Harry Rendell, of the Northwestern
Fuel company, said that his company ex-
pected to receive cars of anthracite from
time to time through the season. In no
case would it be sold for more than $40.
The orders from headquarters were that
In no case should the retail price exceed
that figure.
Mr.. Chandler wanted to know why coke,
which sold last year at $3.50 ton, should
now command $3.50, a considerably
greater proportionate increase than the
price Of coal.
Reference to the books of the county
commissioners showed that all bids for
soft coal Dec. 1 were as low as $685.,
while Sc was being asked at coal offices.
Another meeting may be held this week.
The Philadelphia & Reading and Lehigh
Valley companies sent no. representatives
to the conference.

WILL TRY BARRED WIRE
Joints at Mlnnehaha to Be sequestered
Behind a Fence and

The park board last evening decided not
to institute condemnation proceeding at
slightly sfacks and pavilions opposite the
entrance to Minnehaha park. 1t would
cost $500 to appraise the property on which
the Objectionable structures stand and
the commissioners believe that to acquire
title to the land would involve greater
expenditure than the board could stand at
this time. The commissioners were infiu-
enced also by the information that the
Commercial Club public affairs COMMITTEES
had arranged with the Milwaukee road to
build a high barbed wire fence in front
of the pavilions. provided the board would
parallel it with a hedge, which would
screen the shacks@ from the public view
and cut down their patronage.

Despite the efforts of Fred Ayers. at
torney for Former Detective Fred Malone,
charged with being accessory to a felony
after the fact, this defendant will have
to stand trial and his case will be heard
when it is reached in regular order The
attorney argued that his client was the
only one Of the alleged municipal Offend

trial and that he was due to either have
the indictment nolled or speedy trial
granted. The county attorney refused
to nolle, and the case remained without

Malone case, is understood to be in Cuba

Long Sick List Among Soldiers Of the
Tenth; Battery at Fort -

Thirteen men in the Tenth field bat
terry, now stationed at Fort Smelling, are
on the sick list Private Cone died last
Thursday and his remains were sent to
Florida Saturday morning. The great
amount Of sickness among the soldiers IS
said to be due to the fact that the men
have not become used to severe winters,
having just returned from the Philippines,
where they did service for three years.
The exposure they have endured while on
drill, parade and exercising horses has
proved too much, and many Of them have
contracted severe colds.
