Musical Farce at the Park.

That ridiculous cOnglOmeration of song.
dance, nonsense and noise known as
Happy Hooligan, began its second en-
gagement of the season at the Park yester-
day afternoon and played to good-szed
audiences both matinee and evening
audiences that went to the theater to be
amused without being particular regarding
the quality of the fun dished up for them.
of all foolish plays this one is entitled to
first consideration, but there are enough
good specialties in it to make up for the
inter insanity of it's dialogue and 'situa-
tons" This is the plot: Everybody has
fun with Happy Hooligan. 1t is not an
intricate plot, one may readily see; in
fact. il offers no problems of any kind,
and there is no connected story to bother
ones mind over. Everybody in the play
takes. a crack at Happy Hooligan with
slapstick or something else during the
course of the performance. Some people
i'm the audience would enjoy taking a crack
at him. too, but. after all. he's a harm
less sort OF idiot, and he makes your
neiChbor laugh even though he may cause
YOU 10 feel blue. And so the only thing TO
do if you happen 10 get into the theatcr,
Intentionally or by mistake Is TO laugh
whenever you can at the clownish antics
of Mr.. Hooligan and his associates-and
wait for the specialties, some of which
prove quite entertaining.
The only change of Importance in the
cast since the company was seen at the
Park six weeks ago is the appearance of
Jennie Lannon'S in the character OF
Bridget MOriarty, instead of the loud
voiced woman who used TO insist upon re-
tanning the center Of the stage at all times
The change is an improvement. w H.
Mack continues In the Character of the I'M

once wonderful and fearful The most
talented performers in the organization are

ROBBED CASH
BASKET OF 500
MAN AT ADLER'S CONFESSED.
THEFT DISCOVERED FEW MINUTES
AFTER 1T HAPPENED.

L. Escaner, Employed as Electrician
and General Utility Man, Guilty
Party-Had Also Taken Football,

Cash Basket stopped Just as IL
Was Passing Him and He Could
Not Resist Temptation.
l.. Escaffer. electrician and general
utility man at the store of Leopold Ad-
Ter, was arrested yesterday afternoon
at 1880 o'clock by Detective Frank
Wall, charged with intercepting a cash
basket in the store where he was en-
ployed and taking therefrom $40 bill.
At first Escaffer protested his inno-
cence. but after a talk from the plain
clothes man admitted his guilt and
produced the money. The robbery was
committed some time during yesterday
morning. Escaffer's duties require his
presence in the basement, and most of
the time he is near the elevator shaft.
The cash carrier wires run through
one corner of the elevator shaft. and
it was here that the basket was taken

table near by was found the basket.
The theft was discovered almost as
soon as it was committed. A lady was
making a purchase in the basement,
and the salesman placed the bill in the
basket, and started it on its journey
to the cashier. After waiting a rea-
sonable length of time for the change,
inquiry was made of the cashier and
it was found that the basket had never
reached it's destination. Suspicion at
once pointed to Escaffer who was the
only person in the basement located
where he could have intercepted the
basket without being seen. The find
ing of the basket near the shaft, and
the fact that he was the only man
located there. made the evidence con-
elusive.
After confessing he had taken the
money, Escaffer said the basket stop
ped as it was passing him, and he
could not resist the temptation to take
the money. Mr.. Adler stated, however,
that if the basket did stop it was the
first time in the history of the cash
carrying system which he was US
ing.
After his arrest, Escaffer was asked
about a football which was stolen.

it could be found. On going to the
store where he claimed he left it, De-
tective Wall found the ball wrapped
up. This, with the money, was turned
over to Mr.. Adler.
Escaffer seemed deeply affected at
his disgrace, and said he did not care
what became of him. He left his home
eight years ago, and has not seen his
parents since. They live somewhere i'll

cross to-day are jubilant over the fact
that the plant is to commence again
with a full force. 1t Is expected that
the car factory will start on the Cen

least 400 employees During the sum-
mer a lot of new machinery was in
stalled at the plant, and II Is expected
that ten cars day will be turned out
when it begins full operations again.
Judging from the number of inquiries
received by the car factory company
the past few weeks the officers believe
that there will not soon be a scarcity
of orders. AS there is hardly a vacant
dwelling house in Waycross at present,
it is expected that the city will have
trouble in accommodating the large

ployed at the plant next year.

HISTORICAL EVIDENCE
OF JEWISH NATIONALITY
Discussed by MIR. De Haas at the Synagogue Of
the Congregation B. B. Jacob

Mr.. Jacob De Haas lectured last
night at the Synagogue of the Congre-
cation, B. B. Jacob, on the Historical
Evidences of Jewish Nationality"
1t was the last of three lectures
which Mr.. De Haas delivered in Sa-
vannah. He will leave this morning
for Augusta, where he lectures to-
night in the interest of zionism, of
which he is one of the leading support
ers in this country.
His lecture last night consisted of a
brief summary of the history Of the
Jews. He began even before the fall
of Jerusalem, and from that event
traced the history of the people down
to the present time. In every century,
he said. there had been some effort
showing that the Jews formed a nation
and not merely religious body.
He began by defining the word ma
tionality, taking the first definition
given by Webster. a people bound to-
gether by common descent, language
or customs. 1t was in this sense, he
said, that he asserted the Jews formed
a nation. In political sense the Jews
are, of course. not nation, he said.
Percentage more than place of birth
determined nationality. he said. A
chicken does not have to be born in
a chicken coop. he argued. The fact
that a person is born on the soil Of
any particular country does not make
him belong TO that nation, he asserted.
The Jews have been regarded
through all the centuries as a people
in exile. he stated. There could be
no doubt that they were a nation when

that event. when the Jews were scat

forts after this to re-establish the Jew

rebellions, wars. plots and combina-
lions with other nations, all with the
idea of again having a Jewish govern
ment.
The Jews were a conquered nation,
and conquered nations, as a rule, dis
appeared, but there have been excep-
lions. Because the Jews were de-
feated and driven from their country
some supposed their nationality had
been lost. He contended that such
was not the case. He briefly outlined
the attempts that had been made to
carry the Jews back to Palestine and
quoted from numerous eminent author
tiles, who had referred to the Jews as
a nation. He referred to Queen Vic
toria having used the expression in
granting to a Jew the right to use

efforts had constantly been made to
regain Palestine and establish a Jew

the present Zionist movement, he said.
was to secure the establishment of a
Jewish state there. He urged all to
aid the movement. One could hope and
work for this. he said. and still be
loyal to this country. just as persons
born in different country may be
loyal to the United States. and still
hope and work for the freedom of their
native land.
