Before large houses the P~'~oner Of
War opened at the Lyceu Theatre
yesterday afternoon and last evening.
The audiences were delighted with the
plot and the company. The piece is
based on the present war between
Japan and Russia and the audience
was delighted. especially those who
sympathized with Japan. The piece is
well staged and one scene which
shows a Japanese vessel passing over
Russian mine and later the explosion
of Russian vessel by the same mine
Is particularly clever. The company is
above the usual melodramatic standard.
Edwin Brandt who is well-known here
as a capable actor has the leading part
and is the prisoner Of war. Sylvia
Bidwell as Yuk San also does excel
lent work. Hardie Kirkland makes the
most of the part OF a Russian military.
tyrant and gets the hearty dislike of the
audience just as Charles Mcdonald as
the kind-hearted Russian corporal won
their applause. Frances Newhall.
Rachel Eveleth. Ruby Erwood, Baby
Barker. and George Barr also deserve.
mention. The same play will be the
attraction for the remainder of the
week.

Vernan in New York.
New York, March 2f.-Replying to
articles published recently In Lon
don raising a question as to the sue
cess of the ministers OF the world In
spreading the gospel, Rabbi Silver
man, OF the Temple Emanuel has de-
clared that atheism and agnosticism
are now generally looked upon as ev-
licences of intellectual weakness.
The Ingersollian type" he asserted,
has almost disappeared from police
society. There is a tacit understand
ing that religion is an evidence of cul-
ture and refinement, and that it has
a wholesome effect upon the develop
ment of man. There never was a
time, he continued, when men of all
shades OF belief were as interested
In religious study in worship and
practice as today.
1t is no ounusualspectacle to see rich
men who devote their energies all the
week TO making money spend their
Sundays in teaching Bible classes.
These evidence and others that
could be presented demonstrate that
IN our day the minister have GER
tainly not failed. They are a great
social and even political influence.
Tor they exert that silent ethical force
that is effective in all social and gov
ernment reform"

One Man Killed and Others Are
Wounded in the Melee.
ONE HUNDRED MEN IN FIGHT

Detective Was investigating the OBJ
serVations of the Liquor Law When
He Was Attacked by ltalians-Po-
lice Were Drawn Into the Battle.
| New York, March 21.-During riot
in an Italian settlement at One Hun
| dred and Fourteenth street and First
| avenue, one man has been killed and
| several wounded and the police were
drawn into a battle which lasted half
an hour They succeeded in arrest
| ing three men suspected of completely
| in the murder
The trouble started by Alexander
Fico and Vincenzo Maresco, who got
into a fight over woman. Knives
were drawn and soon hundred were
fighting. Several pistol shots were
heard, and then the crowd made way
for the escape of three, who ran into
house.
Fico lay dead on the pavement. The
police were endeavoring to beat their
way through the mob and finally they
reached the murdered man.
A weeping girl at his side pointed
to the house where three men had
taken refuge. Then the police had
another fight, but finally dragged the
men from their hiding place and car
ried them away. It was found they
had changed their outer garments and
thrown away their weapons, but three
little girls identified them and de-
clared one had fired the shot which
killed F'ico.
An Italian was probably fatally
wounded by city detective who was
trying to hold at bay mob which
had attacked him at One Hundred and
Eighty-seventh street and Arthur ave-
nue.. The detective was investigating
the observations of the liquor law
when about 100 Italians attacked him.
He backed against a wall and for a
time held them off. 1t soon became
a matter of life and death and he
fired at one of the leaders. Just then
aid arrived and the comrades Of the
fallen men were captured while trying
to carry him off,

Il don't anything about that" was
Mr.. Bristow's response. Il was in
formed by the first assistant Friday
that it was accessible to members of
congress-"
Mr.. Bristow did not know whether
in actual practice members of con-
gress ever had been informed about
this secret test.
Rent og fourth-class offices it was
explained by Mr. Bristow was listed
by law to a maximum of $400 a year
and an allowance of $50 for fuel and
light.
Mr.. Richardson, of Alabama, took
up the case at Johnson City, Tenn.
He outlined the increase in population
in the town, including the establish
ment of soldiers home, and then
asked if Mr.. Bristow did not think
the rent increase from $500 to $40O
was justifable and that Mr.. BroWnlow
was justified in making the request
for the increase.
Does that look suspicious?" asked
Mr.. Richardson.
1T would all depended on facts
whether anyone else had a building
that they wanted to rent to the gov
ernment," Mr.. Bristow replied
The Humboldt, Tenn, case was
next taken up where additional rent
had been secured and thereupon Mr.
Richardson said that the town had
grown and asked If there could be
any censure justified.
THAT, then, would not be a case in
whicn rents had been increased by
Mr.. Beavers for his personal friend?"
asked Mr.. Bartlett.

answered Mr.. Bristow.

Mr., Bartlett then read to Mr. Rris-
tow number of questions TO ascer-
tain the identity OF the persons who
had prepared the report, first asking
with references to that report refer
ring to clerk hire. Mr.. Bristow said
he had no information except what he
had been told. He suggested that
Mr.. Wynne could answer that ques-
ton. AS to the lease section of the
report, he said he would furnish the
committee with a list OF inspectors
who made UP the report
Mr.. Bartlett also wanted to know
how the report was sent to the house
committee on postoffices and post
roads, and if by messenger, who that
messenger was.
Mr.. Bristow had no knowledge on
| this point.
DO you know whether this report,
| after it was compiled, was submitted

ply.

Denver, March 21-The committee

Telluride by an organization of busi-

an armed escort provided by the mi

AS the citizens who drove the mi

New York, March 21.-Numerous
executions at the local prison are re-
ported to be due to the movement of
the supreme court in the direction OF
clearing out the place, says a Seoul
dispatch to The Herald.
The total in three nights past has
been in six prisoners decapitated and
SO hanged. Many of these victims
had been in jail for years without
trial. There were former students In
Japan and others were thieves, high
way men, embezzlers of public funds,
public offenders and traitors.
AS the bodies were carried out
strings of 10 or 20 condemned men,
bound together, refill the cell just
vacated. 1t is probable the represen-l
tative of the foreign powers will in

The prison is heavily guarded, as it is
feared the Pedlars' Guild may attempt
to force an entrance and lfberate the
prisoners.
