TRUST AFTER
FISH INDUSTRY
Special Dispatch to The Call.

TACOMA, March PA movement is
on foot which, if carried out, will re-
suit in the cornering or the fishing in
dustry at the mouth of the Columbia
River; the fishermen on the Washing
ton side who have carried on the indus
try fer many years will be driven from
the field, Iand the towns of Ilwaco and
Chinook practically wiped from the
map.
One plan is to extend the grounds at
the mouth of the channel and establish
traps which will cut off the hundreds
of traps farther up the bay. After qui-
city driving stakes and securing loca-
tions. agents of a reputed syndicate
made application to the War Depart
ment to- have the grounds extended,
claiming that the old channel is no
longer suitable for navigation. Should
the Government grant their application
it would throw the owners of the traps
up the bay completely out of business.
Another plan is to lease Sand Island,
which fer years past has been used as
a camping place by fishermen and
which is necessary to them in their
business. Should either of these plans
be carried out individual fishing at the
mouth of the Columbia will be pre-
vented.

STRONG ACTING MARKS
EVERY PART OF "ZlRA"

the last seat from the beginning to
the end of the performance. The play
was elaborately staged. The players
were all at their best. There was not
one discordant note in the whole piece.
Old Heidelberg is not new for
san Francisco, but those who have
seen the play before will still gain
much by seeing it again at the Alcazar
THIS week. The rollicking students,
the gay Crown Prince, his beautiful
lnamorata, the austere count and the
comical old professor furnish all the
entertainment that one could ask for
In a single evening. The love scene and
the final parting at the close are
handled in a way to bring tears to the
eyes of the most blase 'theater-goer.
John Craig in the role of the Crown
Prince appears at his best. Last night S
audience kept him bowling for an in
definite number of times at the close
of each act. In the last farewell al
Ruder's inn no one could possibly have
handled the part better than he. Lii
lian Lawrence as Kathie furnished ad-
mirable support for the leading man,
Many of the ladies present whispered
audibly that she was good enough to
marry Karl Heinrich, even If he was
King of Sachsen-Karlsburg.
John B. Maher was as funny as an
Ade fable in the part of the gay and
bibulous professor, a relic of other
days at the university. John Sainpolis
was an ideal Lutz and convulsed the
audience time after time. Harry Hill
lard was also particularly good in the
part of Graf Won Astreberg. The
others OF the cast were up to the high
standard of the leaders.

Central Theater.

One of the best melodramas seen
here in some time was presented at
the Central last evening to a crowded
house. The Gambler" is far above
the average play and the manner in
which it was interpreted left but lit
tie TO find fault with. The scenic ef-
fects, notably those of the first and
second acts, rebound great credit on
the artists, MeSsrs. Simmons and
Cutler. The stage mechanics de-
serve praise for the admirable man
ner in which the production was
mounted. The leading role was by
Herschel Mayall, who divided honors
with Henry Shumer, who played the
villain. Miss Juliet Crosby made much
of her part. Miss Crosby is at her best
in emotional work and this role was
strictly in accord with the popular
leading woman's talent. Miss Vane
also made a decided hit in her part.
True Boardman, the new Juvenile
man, though not having much to do.
did it well. AHllar Bacon, the come
dian, surpassed all his former efforts.
Others deserving mention include G..
Nichols and Walter Whipple. The
lighthouse scene. wherein the hero
makes his escape in the ocean and
the rescue by a yacht while a terrible
storm RACES was vigorously applauded.
There are many thrilling situations
and climaxes. The play will be win
ner for the week.

LANDLADY LACKS SYMPATHY
FOR THE FOOTPAD'S WIFE
Mrs. NJ. A. Welch Makes Statement to
Police Rejecting Upon Mrs. OthO
II. MitcheIPs Character.

A good deal of sympathy has been
expressed for the young wife and
child of Otho 2. Mitchell, the footpad
who held up John E Webster at Ash
bury and~Haye5 streets last Thursday
night. There is another side of the
story, as told to Detective Ed Gibson
by Mrs Nj. A. Welch. 748 Folsom
street. where Mitchell and his wife
had rooms.
Mrs. Welch does not hesitate to cast
reflections upon Mrs. Mitchells char
acter and says that the tale of hun
ger has been very much exaggerated.
She says that middle aged man who
said he was an uncle of Mrs. Mitchell
had visited her frequently. and she
had other male visitors during her
husbands absence from the rooms.
when 1 told Mrs. MITCHELL said
Mrs. WeIch, that her husband had
been arrested she said it could not be
him, but when she found out that it
was the truth she did not seem in the
least affected. Her uncle called upon
her the night after Mitchell's arrest
and was with her till next morning"
