of various enterprises in Durham, N.
c., and three notes for $4,000 each,
signed by Brodie S. Duke, and in favor
of Alice Webb. The notes were dated

lively.
Alice Webb is said by the manage
ment of hotel where she stays while

Taylor, Webb & Co., an investment
concern with offices in Chicago.

said that Brodie S. Duke became a
guest in the Park-avenue Hotel late

ago Duke and Miss Webb were mar
ried by one of Rev. DIR. Charles H.
Parkhurst's assistants. 1t is because
of this marriage that Dukes son has
caused him to be placed in a SANTA
rum.
Duke Isl said to be millionaire and

SING THOUGH
DEATH IS NEAR
Members of Chorus Continue
Song and Hide From Audi
ence Disaster on the Stage

NEW YORK. Jan. 7.-More than
twenty members of the chorus OF the
Metropolitan Grand Opera Company
were seriously injured tonight by the
collapse of the bridge in the street
scene in the opening act of Carmen.
None of the principals were on the
stage at the time of the accident, and
the uninjured members Of the chorus
heroically massed at the front of the
stage and sang on in an attempt to
prevent the public from learning what
had happened. The curtain was rung
down as soon as possible, and Helm
rich Conreid, the impresario, prevented
a panic by urging the great audience
to remain seated and not be fright
ened.
All of the exits of the theater were
opened Immediately after the accident.
but scarcely half dozen persons of
the handsomely dressed audience left
their seats. Within fifteen minutes
after the crash the performance was
resumed, and few persons in the big
theater realized how serious the acci-
dent had been.
At the close of the performance
Frank P. Palmer, master mechanic of
the Metropolitan, was arrested and
locked UP in a police station, charged
with criminal negligence. Palmer, who
refused to make any statement, will
be arraigned in court tomorrow morn
ing.

EMIGRANT INSPECTION
LAWS ARE DISCUSSED
Steamship and Railway Men Hold an
Important Conference in
New York =

NEW YORK. Jan. COMMITTEES
from the principal Atlantic steamship
lines and the important railway lines
affected met here to-day to consider
alleged abuses of the emigrant inspec-
ton laws, as far as they relate to the
examination of persons passing
through this country en- route to Eu-
rope. These committees claim, ac-
cording to a statement made to-day,
that Federal inspectors of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor by an
unnecessarily rigid and searching ex-
animation of these persons are so an
noying and intimidating to such emf
grants as to cause them to take
steamships from Canadian rather than
American ports.
It was said that one result of to-
days meeting probably would be an
application to Secretary Metcalf of the
Department of Commerce and Labor
asking that he issue to the department
inspectors such instructions as will
bring about change in their methods
and do away with the alleged annoy
ance to emigrants.

DESTROY
LARGE BAND OF SHEEP

PORTLAND, Or, Jan. with
axes, knives and clubs a gang of un-
known terrorists broke into the sheep
fold of Fred Smith in the Suplee sec
ton of Crook County and destroyed a
band of 430 sheep. The sight that met
the eyes of the owner when he dis
covered his loss on New Years day
was frightful. Strewn about were the
dead and wounded bodies of his herd.
The bleating of those still living was
pitiful to hear. Smith had ranged his
band on his own property and that

company and the slaughter Is inex-
plicable on any other grounds than

Francisco yesterday. was brought here
to-day to answer to charge of em-

misapporpirated $4,000 belonging to

lieu of $4,000 bonds Watkins was
compelled to go to Jail. His examina-
ton was set for January IA. The COM
p!aint of embezzlement was made by
Joseph A. Cottle, an orchardist, resid-
ing near this city.
The company is believed to have no
assets, as the fixtures and carpets in
the office have been mortgaged. Eighty
per cent of the receipts of the COM
pany were supposed to have gone into
a redemption fund. Watkins declares
the contracts will be paid in full. but
that none of them are yet due, as the

ty~six weeks and contracts do not ma
tare for eighty weeks. He says the re-
demption fund is intact.

match the hat to the hair. The result
is always good. OF course If the wo-
man is old, with white hair. it is not so
satisfactory. But the woman with
brown hair should wear a brown hat.
and the woman with red hair should
wear a hat in dark red tones, and so on.
If you are going to buy a hat match
your hair.
''The second best thing is to match
the hat to the eyes. The woman with
big brown eyes should wear a big
brown hat. The girl with saucer blue
eyes can wear a blue hat and the
girl with hazel eyes ought to cultivate
hats that are hazel and light brown and
yellow brown.
