HANFORD'S
STRONG
COMP PANY
win PreSen Richard iii at
Opera House Wednesday
Night

Charles B. Hanford is always a well
come visitor to this city and his APP
pearance at the Grand Opera House
next Wednesday will be doubly inter.
esting because of the fact that he
will produce a play in which he has
never before been seen and which
because of the great difficulties and
expense involved is but seldom at.
tempted by any actor. The most emf.
nent designers of scenery and cos
tunes have been busily at work all
summer on the Hanford production
of Richard ILL.," which is expected to
eclipse any spectacular revival of
this terrific tragedy that has hereto
fore been attempted. Despite the
fact Mr.. Hanford's personality is the
chief attraction in any of his perfor
mances that 1t would alone be suf-
ficient to insure liberal patronage, he
has never hesitated to indulge him
self lavishly in the actors greatest
luxury, scenic establishment Al.
though the proprietor of one Of the
most extensive collections of scenery
and wardrobe ever accumulated by
any one man, he has provided an en-
tirely new production for his sea
son as Richard III, and has had the
costumes designed and executed re
gardless of the cost of material and
workmanship. Added to this the ex-
cellent company with which Mr.. Han

but Went Out of the

Grand Jury

Washington, d. c., March with
the conviction of the Machen crowd
public interest in the post Office
frauds will now turn to the case of
George w. Beavers, indicted in Brook
lyn and in Washington for conspiracy
in the postal frauds. The case came
up for argument in the supreme
court today on an appeal from the de.
cision of the United States Commits.
sioner and the Judge of the circuit
Beavers must go TO Brooklyn to stand
trial. If the supreme court decides
that Beavers must face the indict-
nents which have been waiting for
him in Brooklyn since last fall II
will be for the prosecution to decide
what will become of the indictments
in Washington. These have been
holding back for the decision on the
Brooklyn indictments.
Beavers, who was superintendent
Of the salaries and allowance division
with headquarters at Washington, re.
signed when the investigation of post
Office frauds first began. He was not
drawn into It directly, although his
name was mentioned in connection
with the various shady transactions,
until the inspectors got after f. j..
|Brandt-Dent & Company, which had
sold changemaking machines worth
thousands of dollars to the post
Office departmAnn These were
Of no use to the clerks, and had
been thrown aside in nearly
every instance. Working on this line
he inspectors found that when Ed
mund H. briggs of Brooklyn was con-
FRESHMAN he had dealings with Beav-
|rs and the Brandt-Dent Company.
Checks, bankbooks and other testi.
nony before the grand jury in Brook
yn last summer resulted in several
Indictments for Beavers, briggs and
he Brandt-Dent people. Joint indict-
nents of Beavers and briggs were
euashed on technicalities. but others
resulted, on which briggs recently
served a nominal day in prison and
paid fine of $4,000. Beavers would
not stand trial Before he was In
ilcted he went to Manhattan, out of
the Jurisdiction of the grand jury which
Indicted him. He has stayed outside
Of that federal jurisdiction ever since,
and has fought by every possible
means any legal steps to compel him
to stand trial in Brooklyn, where he
would have to undergo preliminary
Examination before a commissioner,
thus disclosing part of his defence.

is that the existence of these houses
in the neighborhood cOmpels the other
saloons to conduct themselves upon
similar lines, suppressing disorder and
drunkenness, providing food and nom
intoxicants, and decreasing the sale Of
alcoholics. The existence of a trust
house and it's recognized higher grade
of responsibility has also attracted
trade in some localities to such an ex-
tent as to make the competing private
institutions relatively Improbable and
ready to sell out to the trust. In this
way the control of this association over
the liquor traffic is constantly increas-
ing. This public house trust movement
has not a monopoly of temperance
sentiment in England. Temperance So
cieties still exist which favor policies
looking to the complete extinction of
the traffic rather than its regulation.
Whether they are accomplishing more
in the way of practical temperance
than the trust may be questioned.
They nave been at it longer.
In some degrees the Subway Tavern
is an effort to put into practice the
principles of the English public house
trust.

Fire al The Power House.

a fire occurred at the city power
house yesterday afternoon which,
but for the prompt and coura-
geous work of Brookhaven's VOL
unteer fire laddies, would have
proved a most disastrous one.
The fire broke out among some
shavings which it seems had been
carelessly piled too near the fur
mace, and set the boiler room on.
fire, then spread to the ceiling
and roof and was making its way
to the roof of the machinery
room when arrested.
tits estimated that the total loss
will be about three thousand dol
lars, which is fully covered by in
surance in companies represented
by DIR. j. B. Daughtry and the
Underwriters Agency ofthis city.
The only damage to the machin-
cry was from water, and the cleo
trio supplies in the supply room
suffered heavily in the same way.
From the general appearance Of
things after Che flames were sub
dued, no one thought the city
would have electric lights again
for two or three days, but when
night came on, the. electric lamps
blazed all over the city as usual,
thanks to the prompt grasp of the
situation and quick work by Supt.
FeWell and the efforts of Alder
men Seavey, McGrath and others.
1t will be several days, however,
before every thing is in perfect
order again.
This is the second fire that
has occurred at the Power
House within the last two weeks,
and apparently from the same
cause both times. 1t is certainly
the duty of the Power House
Committee to- make a thorough
investigation of the situation, To-
eating the fault or responsibility
and apply the needed remedy
without further delay. The Sc
rious impairment of the water and
light service means entirely too
much to the population of this
city to be trifed with or carelessly
regarded. 1t is stated on good au-
thority that the fire was first dis
covered by persons down in town
and the frebell rung, before those
on duty at the power house seem
ed to know anything unusual was
going on.
