"MRs. WIGGS" Is WELCOMED
Large Audience at Mason AppIauds
DrolI Characters

Mrs. Wigs of the Cabbage Patch"
with which the Mason opened a weeks
engagement last night, has one lack
which is essential to a drama-dramatic
action.
This is not a fault, in this case, for
the odd characters in this much read
story are sufficient in themselves to
entertain an audience for three hours
easily without any plot whatever, and
really the play would be better were
the dragged-in one eliminated. For the
book abounds in those quaint touches
are far and away above the limitations
of melodrama, and in most instances
the adapter has maintained the stand
ard set by the author in transferring
them to the stage.
The play presupposes not only
knowledge of the book that gave it a
name, but OF its sequel, "Lovey Mary"
Provided one has this clever series
fresh In mind, one sees a procession
of the we'll authenticated characters
matte reason, but never unwelcome;
one hears the bright and optimistic ut
terances of Mrs. Wiggs, the plaintive
pessimisms of Miss Hazy and ram
bling remarks of Hiram. the pathos
of Lovey Mary and all the rest; one
beholds the Cabbage Patch true to its
Louisville prototype, and one knows
that in the main one has caught a true
picture of life there, for such life has
no plot and no dramatic essentials
whatever.
And as the vein of humor that mean
ders through this affair is as rich as
"scotty's" mine in fun and fun-making
possibilities, and as 1t is worked freely
and fully it may be said honestly and
unqualifledly that there is fine nights
entertainment in Mrs. Wigs" for
critic or lay play-goer alike, and one
has no business to complain if his
dramatic verities" are shocked, for
he has no right to expect any anyhow,
and Is fooling If he wants or misses
them.
Madge Carr Cook is Mrs. Wigs
she is the character and that is the
supreme praise. More were unneces-
sary. Bessie Barriscule succeeds Ma
BILE Talliaferra as Lovey Mary and is
wholly satisfactory. Helen Lowell is
the caricature. Miss Hazy, and though
the part is vastly overdrawn, she is su-
premely lugubrious in her mirth and
mirthful in her mournfulness. Charles
Carter is excellent as Hiram, and the
auxiliary characters, especially the
children, are we'll taken, in the main,
though the deputy sheriff might be
termed "a fright"
The engagement is for the week, and
the opening house, filled to the doors,
will probably be repeated every night.

VICTIM ACCEPTS ALL BLAME

Oliver Thompson, 1921 Mono street,
was shot through the jaw by his cousin,
William Mossler, last night. According
to the statement of Mossler at the city
jail last night the shot was fired in
self-defense.
The police received a telephone mes
sage from Mossler that he had shot
Thompson and said he would meet the
officers at the Salt Lake saloon on East
First street. Detectives Talamantes
and Rich were sent to investigate the
shooting and found Mossler waiting
for them at the appointed place.
Thompson and I live together with
his mother at 1921 Mono street and
when he returned to the house this
evening he was intoxicated" said
Mossler in telling his story to the de-
tectives. when he entered the yard
he declared he would shoot the first
person that spoke to him.
Feared an Attack
when he made this announcement
his mother walked up to and placed
her arms about his neck. Fearing that
he might carry out his threat I went
into the house and secured my revol-
YER, which Is always in my bedcham-
Der.
when I went back to the front yard
Thompson broke away from his mother
and started for me. AS he did so I
drew my revolver and, thinking that
he was going to strike me, fired one
shot. He started after me and I ran
down the street to escape. AS soon as
I ascertained he was not following
me I telephoned for the police"
While the detectives were going to
Mossler's home they met Thompson in
charge Of Detective Craig. He had been
shot through the mouth and his left
jaw was fractured. He was sent to
the receiving hospital, where his in
juries were dressed by Police Surgeon
Quint.
In telling the story of the shooting
Thompson says he was entirely to
blame and the whole affair was an ac-
cident He admitted that he had been
drinking.
Mossler was arrested on a charge Of
assault with deadly weapon.

ROOSEVELT APPOINTS
SUCCESSOR TO LOOMS
By Associated Press.

OYSTER BAY, Sept. 4.-President
Roosevelt this afternoon announced Of
ficially the appointment of Robert
Bacon of New York to be first assistant
secretary of state to succeed Francis
B. Loomis.
The announcement was accompanied
by a statement that Mr.. Bacon would
not assume the duties of his Office for
some time, perhaps not until about the
middle of October, after Secretary Root
had become settled in the Office of sec
retary of state.
For years Robert Bacon has been an
important figure in the business equa-
tion of New York. Until within COM
paratively recent months he was a
junior partner in the banking house Of
]. P. Morgan e. Co. At the settlement
of the anthracite coal strike by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, Mr.. Bacon represented
Mr.. Morgan in two conferences in
Washington which made for an ami
cable adjustment of the trouble. Sub
sequently, when Mr.. Bacon retired from
the firm of ]. P. Morgan & Co., the
president determined to utilize his SER
vices If a suitable place for him could
be found.
Mr.. Bacon was here today as a guest
Of President and Mrs. Roosevelt at
luncheon.
1t is expected that Mr.. Loonis will
relinquish his Office in short time and
his resignation will take effect at the
conclusion of a leave of absence which
he proposes to take. No statement Ii
made concerning his possible future ir
official life, but as heretofore noted
in these dispatches, his appointment tc

If there has been failure to notice

Jack is certainly king, and we'll it
may be when the best grades of Jop-
lin ore are selling at better than $57
per ton. This is the highest price
ever paid for zinc ore by two dollars.
Ore reached its highest price before,
$55, five years ago. Then the price
was largely a fictitious one, and
lasted only for a day, and in fact,
but one lot is known to have been
sold at that price. Then, too, a
combine was on among the produc-
ers, and while there was plenty of
ore in the district it was not offered
for sale, and it was a question with
the smelteKs to get enough to keep
going until such time as the combine
should be broken, and the ore held in
reserve should be placed on the mark
ct. Now it is simply demand for
ore, created by the increased con-
sumption of spelter Now there is
very little ore remaining unsold in
the district. Now the smelters are
not loaded up with a surplus, and
the demand is quite general, and the
prices are apt to remain strong for
and indefinite period.
