PEOPLES TRIBUTE
Memorial Service for4Bishop Joyce at
.4'.E Wesley Church.

A peoples testimonial to the, value
Of, the life and work Of the late Bishop
Joyce took the place of the regular mid
week prayer meeting at Wesley M. EE.
church last night. Songs and verses ap-
propriate to the occasion were sung and
said, and many personal incidents were
recalled. 49, :
Rev. L. r. Gould told of the last DAYS
of Bishop Joyce and said that the
bishop was fortunate in that he died in
the midst of his work and usefulness,
as should be the wish Of every minister.
He said that he believed, as Bishop
Joyce did, that so long as man loves
God it matters little to what church he
may belong or what fads he may have.
Speaking Of the attitude Of the late
bishop toward the ministers, he said
that in Bishop Joyce the ministers Of
the church lost their best friend.
Elected from among them, he was a
minister's bishop. His life was such
that when the end came and he real
lied that his work was finished he was
ready and resigned. H..
When Mr.. Gould had finished his talk
Miss Chase sang hymn in which the
audience joined at times, and many
made no preterse Of concealing their
tears. The meeting closed with the
singing of "God Be With You Till We
Meet Again. .s. 49,.

The fire is supposed to have been
caused by crossed electric wires in the
basement.
When the engine companies arrived,
the upper floors were filled with smoke
and the basement was in flames. The

out by their friends because of the
dense and overpowering tobacco smoke.
Veterans in the use of tobacco suffered
as much as men who had never used it,
and it was with unusual difficulty that
the flames We're ,brought,~under control.
Shortly after the fight with the
flames began, the first floor crashed thru
to the basement, and it was thought for
a few minutes that the entire building
would go. Heroic work by the fire.

extent of $1,000. Mr.. Hooker was I'M
able last night to place an accurate
estimate on the loss of stock, but sale

|PERLEY BREAKS
WITH The TRUST
ANOTHER BIG MANAGER JOINS
THE INDEPENDENTS.
Successful Producer Leaves Klaw 8
with Shuberts-Will Add Five Com
panies-Talk of New Minneapolis
House Still in the Air.

Frank L. Perley, one Of the foremost
producing theatrical managers of the
country, we'll known in Minneapolis be-
cause OF his marriage to an Anoka girl,
has broken away from the theater trust
and hereafter will cast his lot with the
Independents, headed by the Messrs.
Shubert, David Belasco and Harrison
Grey Fiske.
This is by far the most important
break away from the trust ranks that
has yet occurred, and New York dis
patch to T h j ournal says theatre
cal circles are in a furore Of excite
ment over it. .
Perley is the producing manager un-
err stars have won their triumphs. The
great successes of the Bostonians were
also attained under his management.
At present he has under his control a
| number of superior attractions, and his
accession will immensely increase the
| strength of the independent movement.
It is expected, also, that it will have a
other producing managers, as we'll as
| actors, in severing their relations with
the Frohman-Klaw & Erlanger trust.
| Besides booking with the independ
ents, Mr.. Perley will be largely inter
ested financially in. many Shubert en-
terprises, and he intends to add nc
fewer than five companies to those al
ready touring under his management
MI. Perley has been. closely con
nected with Klaw & Erlanger, having
had an active interest in several Of
! their productions, and this fact gave
additional interest to the announce
ment of the break.
| The Shuberts are continuing their ag
gressive moves against their former as
sociates of the syndicate. They art
gaining new control in the east, while
in the west they are about to buile
new playhouses; Rqmor' continues t.
and they have definitely announced tina
they will at once begin the construc
ton of new theaters in Kansas City ant
