TO MEN AND YOUTHS
DR.. Newell of Chicago Addresses Big

Christian Association

Dr. Newell OF Chicago Addresses Big
McetinO at the Young Mems
Christian Association.
Rev William r. Newell of the
Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, ad-
dressed a large body of men and
youths in the auditorium of the Young
Mems Christian Association yesterday
afternoon. DIR. Newell is considered
one of the most profound students of
the Bible in America and it was on
biblical themes that he spoke for
more than an hour.
The preachers work consists in the
establishment of interdenominationaI
popular Bible classes. His classes in
Chicago have on the rolls as many az
5000 students. In Toronto during the
years 1902-0S the class numbered
5000.
Although on a vacation, the doctor
who arrived Saturday night, arranged
a once to meet the ministry of San
Francisco in the hope of interesting
the clerical body in his popular Bible
class programme.
A meeting will be held at noon to-
day in the Young Mems Christian AS
sociation Auditorium, when it is ex-
pected that the ministers of the varf-
our ministerial associations, which
meet this morning and afternoon, will
attend.
DR.. Newell addressed a large audi
cnce last evening at the Bethlehem
Congrega tional Church and will speak
again at the same place this evening.

HOPES TO FIND
STOLEN VALISE
Charles Lewis at One Time
Loses Satchel Holding
$4,000 and Still Seeks 1t
Is CAUGHT BY A RUSE
Detectives Stuff a Grip
With Kindling Wood as
Bait for KIeptOmaniac

Because a valise containing $4,000
Was stolen from him two years ago,
Charles Lewis has devoted his life
since to the stealing of valises. This
failing brought him to the Napa Asy-
iurn. He escaped August and re-
suned his life work.
The mania Of Charles Lewis is a
strange one. He expects at some date
10 get back the valise that contained
his little fortune. Hence his peculiar
form Of l6leptomania- He has no de-
sire for anything that does not belong
70 him. He merely wants TO find the
vslise that contained his $4,000. His
deranged mind can only comprehend
that al one time he possessed that
sum It was in a Valise when he last
saw it. If he searches all the valises
in the world he might fnd II, Lewis
thinks.
The method of his capture after the
escape from the asylum was clever.
Nalises had been missing from Oak
land and san Francisco lodging
houses for several days. Nothing but
vslises were taken. Captain Martin
realized that poor old Lewis was at
work again and baited a trap for him.
he detailed Detectives Harper and
Armstrong on the case. They took
for bait a NallSe Sruued with klndInS
wood. The nlonomaniac bit.
he saw a well filled valise in the
room of a lodging-house. Surely il
looked like the one that contained the
money he IOst years ago. His little
fortune was restored, he thought, and
he would never go back to that Jail
like house he escaped from.
The detectives spared him the pain
Of disappointment. Before he could
open the valise they pounced upon
him and brought the old fellow to the
City Prison.
he admitted having taken a num-
Der of valises from rOoming- houses.
only valises,' says the kleptomaniac.
Il don't want anything that does not
belong to me. once 1 lost a valise
containing $4,000. If 1 can search all
the valises in the world 1 may find
my money.
Charles Lewis viii probably be re-
turned to the asylum.

The Elmer Walters Company in

formances of the best play so far in
their repertoire. All the characters
are we'll drawn and conscientiously
portrayed by the stock company.
There was also a pleasing absence of
the vulgarity that has characterized
some of the previous productions.
The work of Lloyd Ingraham as
Reuben rather subordinated that of
the rest of the cast. Ingraham gave
a cleancut and convincing perform
ance. Theresa Walters in the lead
handled a difficult part well, but her
work suffers from inartistic gowning.

KELLY IS KING
OF HIS CLAN
Best Monologist in the Busi-
ness Makes Regulars at
Orpheum Theater Laugh
NELL STILL POPULAR
"The Lottery of Love" at the
Grand Draws Full House
and Pleases the Crowd

There have been monologists and
monologists at the Orpheum, but
Walter c. Kelly, who introduced him
self to the city last night, is king of
them all. He was crowned by accIa-
nation and with laughter last night.
Old, blase habitues of the O'Farrell-
street vaudeville shop, who wouldn't
laugh for salary, doubled up and ha-
haed out loud under the laughingitis
spell cast by this wizard of smiles.
You had to giggle, even if the last
notch in your meal ticket was punched
twice and your mother-in-law was due
in the morning.
And all Kelly's hunor was real. With
a property table and malIet Che didn't
knock in the 1904 sense) he was
judge, bailiff and witnesses in Southern
court. So natural was his delivery that
you could almost see the people he i'm
personated. 1t was like Judge Mogan's
court on a busy day. All the while
regular Sunday nighters were tying
themselves into knots with laughter.
Therefore, hail King" Kelly mono
logist. Long may he live to hand out
his abundance of heated atmosphere.
There were two jag scenes on the bill,
both Of them emphatically realistic.
Ernmet Dewey initiated genteeI in
ebriation and Louis PritZhow did a
steam-beer drink stunt. These imita-
tions were so lifelike that a soldier who
had three sheets in the wind had it out
with Harry Orndorf, the stage man
ager: SHAY, ole man, this drunk imi-
tashun bishness isn't personal is it?''
asked the intoxicated boy in blue.
The Original Madcaps displayed the
usual amount of attractive black
stocking and lively girl. The Juggling

and centripetal motion look like a cook
book of last century. The induced
Panama hats and Indian clubs to do
hops, skips and back fiips.
A full house greeted James NeilI last
night at the Grand Opera House in the
three-act comedy, The Lottery of
Love-" The piece abounds in humor
and keeps the audience in laughter
from the beginning until curtain fall.
Numerous complications in matrimony
and plots to get rid of the burdensome
mother -in-law form the material of the
comedy.
Neill is unusually good in the part of
AdolphuS DoubledOt, who is compelled
to seek a divorce from his first wife on
account of his mother-in-law's invasion
OF his home. He marries again, only
TO once more meet his old-time mother
ln-laW. Inc 1atner OF MS second WlIe,
while on a vacation, marries Double
dots first wife and brings her back to
the son-in-law's home. This mix-up
keeps the audience in a fit of laughter.
Lillian Andrews, as the mother-in-
law, is hilariously funny and gives an
excellent impersonation or the charac
ter. John w. Burton, as the father of
Dcubledot's second wife and the hus-
band of his first wife, handles his part
well. Edythe Chapman has a light
part, which she makes the most of.

DENIED BY OFFICIALS
CHARGE OF LEAK ON THE COTTON
ESTIMATE.
Explanation by the Agricultural De-
partment That May Apply to
Savannah's Complaint.

Officials of the Agricultural Department
today denied the accusation emanating
from Savannah that there had been leak
in the cotton report issued yesterday. 1t
was, they said, but repetition of similar
charges made in the past, which had been
proven to be false. In telegram addressed
to Wright Hunter, chairman of the COM
mittee on information, Savannah cotton eX-
change, dated yesterday, Acting Secretary
Moore says:
The claim of any person to have been in
possession of the government cotton figures
before 1:lo today, the time of their official
PRONUNCIATION, is absolutely false and with
out foundation. Spurious claims are fire.
quently made, but usually they are falsified
by the official figures themselves and speed
lily forgotten. Surely it is not reasonable to
assume tnelr occasional agreement as proof
oi leak. Inc Secretary of Agriculture is
always ready to investigate any charge of
this kind If it is accompa MED by substan-
tial evidence or testimony; but the means
aaoptea 10 safeguard the figures during the
snort time tnat elapses between their being
arrived at and their promuigation renders
leak impossible, and mere coincidence
or ngufes, as IN this case, amounts to moth
Later in the day the department gave out
an -authoflzed statement, explaining how 1t
nienl pe possible for some persons, after
tne ngures were officially published, to re-
ceiVe the information slightly in advance of
others. The statement is as follows:
Ihe department has ascertained this
morning that theS Savannah cotton ex
change Is not one of the exchanges that
nave arranged with the Western Union or
postai Telegraph Companies to furnish
them with official government figures by
dlrect nash Savannah receives the figures
by way OF. New. York or New Orleans.
The Savannah dispatch in today's papers
states that Savannah received the official
flgures about 1:5o; it was therefore open to
property at 1:15, to telegraph or long-dis-
tance telephone some person in Savannah,
who would thus receive the figures fifteen
or twenty minutes ahead of their being re-
ahead of their official promulgation."
