TWO COMING ATTRACTIONS.
Tonight And Saturday Matinee
And Night.

Arthur Van, n faroiRl actor, of un-
questionable ability and one having
thoroughly ingratiated himself in the
cordial esteem of the fun loving pub
lie, has at last been congenially placed
at the head of big musical comedy
organization, which will appear at the
Colonial Theatre tonight The New
Bell Boy has been chosen as the title
for the vehicle in which Mr.. Van and
a remarkably clever company of sing
ing and dancing people are permitted
to frOlic in most entertaining way,
but not at their own free will, as there
is a plot of real substance and purpose
to command respect. OF course the
action involves the comioal experience
of Jimmie, the new bell boy at the
Bay View Hotel. Bar Harbor. Me-,
the character impersonated by Mr..
Van, and one which he has brought TO
interesting attention as creation of
originality and of mirth provoking
quality.
So far as concerns the production as
a whole, it is safe to say that it more
than favorably compares with any
thing of its class. which means that
no musical comedy of note is better
equipped in every direction, as il has
been the aim of the liberal management
to make 1.-THE New Bell Boy
mighty power in the realm of popu-
lar stage exhibitions. All that high
salaries can tempt has been brought
ino requisition for the purpose of Sc
curing a company of principals and
auxiliaries, the like of which has sell
dom been joined together for harmo-
nious work, the female contingent be-
ing especially blessed with beauty
and shapeliness. There are a dozen
or more exceedingly tunetul numbers
and unless all signs fail everyone of
the catchy songs will be heard far
and wide.

Pete Baker. the we'll known singing
comedian, who is starring in 4" rhe
Legend of The Catskills, - which will
appear at the Colonial Theatre. mat
inee and night. Saturday, September
2, is William Jennings Bryan's exact
counterpart. So closely does he re-
semble the famous "silverite" that
the similarity has brought about some
laughable situations, some of which
have plcaed Baker in a predicament
and some of which have caused the
statesman Inconvenience. On one oc-
casion banquet was being prepared
at Western town and Bryan was to
be the guest of honor. 1t so hap
pened that Baker was playing that
town and, upon his arrival there he
was met at the station by the Demo-
cratic town committee. which hustled
him into cab and hurried him to-
ward the hotel before he had time too
venture an explanation. Bryan has
often jested over this and on one occa-
sion when he sat converting with the
actor man he said "Well, Baker.
doesn't it seem good to you to sit an d
look at yourself?'

GERMANYREPRESENTED
APPOINTS MEMBER OF ISTHMIAN
 ENGINEER BOARD.
United States VIII Pay Literally for Services of the Experts Who Are to he Called Into Consul
 tatiOR.

Washington, April 25.-Through it's Ambassador here, the German govern ment has notified Secretary Taft. that at his request 1t has designated Mir. Tiucanza as the German member of the Board of Cons@fting Engineers of the Isthmian Canal Commission. Mir. Tincanza is understood to be connect ed with the German ministry of public works and is one of the leading civil engineers of Germany.
 The French government has not yet announced Its selection of an engineer member of the Board. It was at first supposed that MT. Bunau Varilla would be named. but his private busi- ness interests forbid the acceptance of the appointment The compensation of these consulting engineers has not yet been fixed, but it is Secretary Taft's purpose to make it very liberal in view of the high grade of the expert talent required. The Board is not to hold regular sessions, but will meet only upon call of the Canal Commits sion when it Is confronted with some great engineering problem. The for eiEn members 0f the Board will be al lotted a liberal sum for expenses over and above the compensation paid to the American Commis sioners. It is proposed to increase the membership of the consulting board to twelve or fifteen members.
 As MT. Hunter. the British member. is occupied just now with some inn Dortant work at home. 1t Is probable the first real business meeting of the board will not be held until August.

MOTHER KILLS CHILD
TERRIBLE DEED OF WHITE sER-
 WANT GIRL NEAR DECATUR.
Accusation of Infanticide Against Clara Glenn and Alleged Connection of Prominent Persons With
 Incident.

Decatur April 25.-(special.) )-Late this afternoon. about three miles west of this city, a sensation was created by the announcement of the fact that a white servant girl named Clara Glenn had given birth 10 an illegitimate male child. Upon investigation the fact 'le- veloped that the child's throat had been cut from ear to ear.
 The unnatural mother was at once arrested. accused of the crime, and the coroner's jury has been in session all this afternoon, but as yet nothing of any consequence has been made public by that body.
 Various remarks are being circulated on the streets tonight and there is much talk against certain parties who are supposed to be connected with the affair on account of the prominence of several of them. There is much local interest manifested in the matter and the chances are that several prominent parties will be connected with this case before the matter Is settled.

Saigon, April 25.-Two ships loaded with rice for Saigon and bound for Japan have been captured by Ships be- longing to the Russian scquadron.

 More firing at sea was heard at Kamranh Bay Sunday morning. The reports were extremely faint.
 It is reported that four Russian cruisers are lying off the coast. The statements that the crew of the Rus sian cruiser Diana joined Admiral Ro- jestvensky's squadron are again pro- nounced absolutely unfounded. On the contrary, since the Diana has been in termed the most minute precautions have been taken to prevent the slight est breach of neutrality. The com mander of the Diana has given his pa role and reports daily to the French commandant. All the essential parts of the Diana's machinery are on board the French battleship Redoubtable.

REFEREE WILSON OUT
NO LONGER RUNNING THINGS IN
 MISSISSIPPI.
Some Remarkable Theories Regarding His Political Ambitions--Wants to Be Leader of Ro0se-
 welt Desmpcrats."
Advertiser Bureau,
 1925 G Street, N. w, xIra ats sAnntnr Arril

1925 G Street, N. w,
 Washington, April 25
 Down and out as Federal referee for Mississippi is Edgar S. Wilson, United States marshal for the Northern Dis trict of Mississippi.
 This is the logic of a statement given out at the postofice department today. MT. Wilson's retirement is os- tensibly on account of i'll health. The statement contains this fragrent bou- quet for the retiring referee:
 MT. Wilson has rendered exceeding ly valuable service to the department in his recommendations and his ap- pointments have been of very high character. Both the President and postmaster general believe that this work has been of great benefit. not only to the department, but to the peo- ple of Mississippi. For the present Hon. L. B. Mosely will be consulted in connection with others in the matter of the appointment of postmasters in Mississippi"
 Two weeks ago Wilson and Mosely were in Washington. Mosely Is na- tIonal committeeman for Mississippi He canvassed thssnatiN1aI cornmittet of which 4PostmastGf General Cortefyor is chairman, giving the impression that if anybody should referee appoin tments in Mississippi. he (Mosely) was tho man and not Wilson, who was obligat- ed and interested in the political for tunes of his brother law, former Governor Longino, who aspires still tC be United States Senator from Missis' s1ppi.
 Another version of Wilson's reas on for his alleged abdication of the ref ereeship is that he has a tremendous ambition firing his soul--that Is to be the pioneer leader of Roosevelt Demo- crats in Mississippi, and therefore in the South. It Is even believed here among Mississippians that he aspires to he Governor and, believing that the whole South is eventually going Roosevelt ward. former Governor Longino will work into the Senatorship through con John Sharp Williams and Senator Money.
 There has been surprise. here at the statement telegraphed from New Or leans that Mir. Williams had announced kismelf as candidate against Money It had been believed Mir. Williams would be a candidate only In the event that Senator Money did not care tc come again to the Senate, which has been the general impression, mainly inferred from the condition of the Sen ator's health. Before he left Washing ton all Senator Money would say on the subject was he had authorized no- body to say he would not again be a candidate for the Senate.

Talk of Amnesty.

St. Petersburg, April 25.--A rumor is circulated here to the effect that Elm peror Nicholas will mark Easter by the proclamation of general amnesty for political and religious prisoners now confined in the fortresses or pris- sons of European Russia, or who are in exile.
 Fears that Easter holidays which ex- tend over thirteen days will be the occasion for bloody riots are manifest ed everywhere and the population IS becoming distinctly pantcky over the stories which are circulating ot mur- der. pillage and terrorism on the part of the mob in various parts of country. Even churches, according to the stories are not exempt. The people are being especially warned not to enter the St. Isaac or Kazan Cathedrals or the Church of the Nevski Monastery. The Liberals pretend to believe that such stories are purposely circulated by the police. In any event the strain is be- coming intense. This is holy week. when all Russia is usually in sack cloth and ashes, but the poorer classes of the people, who generally attend m cessant masses, now spend most or their time at the doors of the churches gossiping about what may happen next week.
 The solemn religious service at the winter palace which in ordinary years takes place Saturday at midnight, with which Easter Is ushered in and when the metropolitan of St. Petersburg procIaims to the Emperor in the pres ence of the imperial family, ministers and leading functionaries the rising of Christ from the grave. will not take place this year on account of the dan ger. involved. Instead similar ser vice will be held at the Tsarskoe-Selo.
 Governor General Trepoff insists on his ability tC preserve order and pro feet life and property. Among the persons arrested last night were three of the principal revolutionary leaders.
