Writes Letter to the President
About Name Scheme.

Washington, Feb. edward Reigar.
who gives his address as Chicago was
arrested at the white house today and
locked up pending an inquiry into his
mental condition. Relgar evidently is Of
unbalanced mind He has written many
letters suggesting that people be named
in accordance with their occupation
Thus he maintains that dealer in wood
should be named Wood, a carpenter
would be named Carpenter, and so
throughought the list He says that the
present scheme of naming people has
caused a war among the flies which may
be ended only by the adoption OF his
suggestion. For many weeks the secret
service officers have been on the look
out for him and when he appeared to-
day he was promptly placed in custody.
Relgar desired TO see the president 10
ascertain why his letters had not been
answered. When ne was searched
loaded revolver and a box OF cartridges
were found in his pockets. The officers
had no difficulty in getting him away
from the white house. He was then
taken to police headquarters where he
was turned over to the authorities. Rel
gar says he is a miner and railroad man.
He arrived here Saturday night. An ex-
animation of his effects disclosed copies
Of several letters he had written to the
president and some documents indicating
that he was interested in patent devices

BLANCHE WALSH IN "RESURREC

That Blanche Walsh will be greeted by
q large and expectant audience on her APP
pearance here next Saturday evening at
the Crawford in Resurrection goes
without saying. The voluminOus com
ments on the play itself and about Toll
stoi's book in the daily press all over
the country would arouse sufficient curl
osity to crowd the theater TO its capac-
ity in any event. But there is another
feature which interests local play-goers
and il is that Resurrection" IS one Of
the very few plays OF modern authorship
that is essentially dramatic in its theme
Once in while the patron Of the theater
likes to be thrilled. but nowadays. when
the stage is occupied 50 largely by triv-
iai fippant comedy and musical farce,
this very rarely happens Resurrec-

dramatic meal for which local plsy-goers
have been waiting a long tine. The play
IS strong. vital its story IS q terrible

DAVID HARUM.

When the curtain rises at the Crawford

a view of little bit of bonneville, n. y.
On one side of the road is a bank build
ing and opposite it is a pretty cottage
with its verandas covered with oldfash-
Toned vines and its yard filled with gera-

in the year 1867. just after the civil war
period when the colOred people were just
beginning to realize that they were free
and to consider the advantages OF their
freedom. During this part of the pro-
gram the life during that time is depicted
in a very realistic way. The plantation
scenes, choruSes, the dancing and dia-
logues are all eminently good. The sec

specialties and they were well received.

its. viii be presented at the Crawford,
Wednesday, February "a. Those who have
seen this pantomimic production in the
past will scarcely recognize it. so many
and so novel are the new features which
have been injected into it. Notable among
these are bright. catchy songs wonder
full calcium effects and a gymnestic pot
pourri that has never been excelled. The
music of the play is tuneful and OF the
light popular variety, while the meehan-
ical effects follow each other so fast that
il is bewildering.
