Peoria, ILL.,, Feb. behind closed
doors, In the presence only Of the jury
and himself, Coroner Baker is holding
an inquest over the body Of Rev. Geo.
II. Simmons, pastor Of the First BaP-
list church and president of two banks,
who killed himself with cyanide Of po-
tassium to forestall exposure Of his
private character.
The bank situation Is greatly re-
iieyed. Much Of the excitement caused
by the suicide has subsidized. The
banks Of the city all came to the re-
lief OF the Interstate Savings and Trust
bank, and accepted their paper at par.
They met every demand for deposits.
Confidence has been restored, and but
few people have made demands for
their money. All comers are accom-
modated, the other banks being will
ing to render such assistance as ueces-
sary.

owns Its own building. estimated to be
worth $4,000, and so far as known has
no liabilities except for the deposits.
The character OF the paper owned by
the bank Is problematicai, and will not
be known until the affairs Of the insti-
tuition are aired in probate court. The
bank has had few dealings with the
other Institutions OF the city. This
bank was purchased by Rev. Mr. Sim

later Kelley was taken into partner.

DR.. Simmons Left No VIII.
The suicide left no will. He had
made no provision for death other than
writing the last note and turning over

his maiden sister did he leave any note
or any farewell message. An envelope
addressed to his wife contained only
a Creve Occur building bond, practical
ly the only really personal property
that the broken man had to leave to
his wife.
The search Of the coroner for the
druggist who sold DR.. Simmons tho
cyanide of potassium which was found
In q two-ounce milk bottle In a closet
In the bedroom, has failed. 1t has been
suggested by some Of the men who
were intimate with the dead man that
he had been In the habit Of devoting
his spare time to chemical expert
ments, and that the poison had been
procured long ago for experimental
purposes.
Funeral Causes Division.
Thursday afternoon iNsaid to be the
probable time Of the burial. The SEN

permitting the funeral to be held In
that edifce, and no one has yet been
suggested as the leader Of the services.

THE DRAMA AS A MORAL AGENCY

Some day the forces that make for
righteousness" will find out what a
mistake thew have made in yielding the
stage so largely to the forces that make
for evil. A writer in Public Opinion
says: The dynamic quality of the
stage has in this country been too lit
tie recognized. There seems to be a
future for a new school of native drama
based on good motives and characters
This remark is at the end of a review
of the play entitled The Clansman,"
based On Thomas Dixon's book of the
same name.
Notwithstanding the vehement de-
nunciatfon of this play by the press
as calculated to arouse racial prejudice
and hate and provoke outrage and
lawlessness, and although the contro-
New York newspapers to the extent
that they have decided against the play
and will no longer admit discussion
concerning it to their columns, it is
running to crowded houses
The play is not only more objection
able, but it is even more potent than
the book itself. In this form the au-
thor presents in more vivid and effect
i've manner the ideas which he sought
to convey through the book, and to
that extent they are more vicious AMI
harmful than When offered in the
bound volume.
What is true in this case is true in
general The appeal to the senses
through the eye and through the hear
ing MAJ be made more effective by the
vivid portrayal of scenes and Incl
dents and characters on the stage than
by narration on the printed page. TIC
the extent that this is true, the pro-
motors of wholesome feeling and senti-
ment have sacrificed the most effect
! i've agencies that they might command

A ROCKY ROAD FOR THE SQUARE
DEAL.

AS the result of a lawsuit Mile Car
lier, one of the leading actresses at the
state theatre in Paris, finds herself en-
dowed with a $500 sable cloak for
brought out in the trial that the pro-
prietor of a fashionable fur store had
asked her to pose in the coat and that
she had assumed that the coat was to
be her reward for advertising the fur
rier's goods. The jury agreed with
her and she wore the coat home tri-
umphantly, all Paris applauding the
dignified impression she made and add
ing it's opinion that the furrier was
well repaid by having the goods ex-
nibted in SO neat package.
The testimony also established the
fact that Mile. earlier was not sing
| ular in her ambition to possess clothes
for which she had paid no money. An
other actress swore that whenever she
posed in a costume she expected to
have the dress presented to her. A
third said she depended on this system
for her entire trousseou. How else
she said, could I wear good Clothes
This system may seem equitable to
it's beneficiaries, but it is of doubtful
value to the rest Of the community.
When an actress obtains $4,000 worth
! of clothes in a single year for merely
posing, someone pays for the goods AMI
the making in the end. Who pays
Probably the wives of American mill
! lionaires who imagine they must have
dresses made in Paris.
But even those who buy at home do
York modistes do the same. Not only
the dressmakers, but all who sell any
thing to the rich, from coal to ice
| cream pay tribute to employees and
charge the tips finally in the bill. This
| form of graft has become SO insuffer-
