STRETCH OF LAND is FOUND
Thought That it Belongs to Bowman
ate-Receiver Spekenheir.
Confirms Story.

Receiver Spekenheir, Of the. de-
funct Commercial Bank. of Hagers-
town, the attorneys in the case and,
the persons the most interested are
making every effort possible to find
out what the late John Bowman, for
merly cashier of the institution, did
with the money which he took from
the bank.
A number Of theories have been
advanced and the latest one is that
the dead cashier invested good part
of his money in stretch of forty or
fifty miles of land in the oil and gas
region of Indiana. 1t is said that a
certain piece Of land has been iden-
tilted as belonging to Bowman.
If this should be true, the land, no
matter how "wild catfish it may be
can be taken in charge and sold for
the benefit of the creditors.
Receiver Spekenheir was asked
about the matter last night. He ad-
mitted that such theory was now
being wrestled with by himself and
others interested but was reluctant
about discussing it. He said that
other developments might arise in the
case, of benefit to those concerned.
He said that no stone along this line
was being left unturned.

MAIN STRENGTH OF NATION

Jerome Hall Raymond Ph. D., the
University of Chicago extension lec-
turer spoke last night in the High
School auditorium on est. Peters
burg or Autocracy and Nihilism in
Russia.' '
After an introduction by Prof. Da-
Wis of the high school, Dr. Raymond
began by giving vivid description
Of Russia. He said that the real
policy of Russia is and has always
been expansion. He next spoke of
the absoluteness of the power of the
Car and showed that the Nihilism
existing in Russia is caused by, the
suppression of all progress by the
Autocracy. -.
He said that the spirit of Nihilism
is nothing more nor less than the
earnest effort of the Russian peope
to free themselves from this political,
religious and social expression. One
of the secrets of Russia s great pow
er is, he said, the close union of the
church and state.
The latter half of the lecture was
occupied with a description of the
city of Petersburg. This was illus
trated by large number of stereop-
ticon views. One of the most notice.
able things about the city is the num-
ber and magnifcence of its churches
and imperial buildings.
A conference was held after the
lecture to discuss the subject and
answer any questions brought up.
DR.. Raymond gave the same lecture
here three years ago although the
changed conditions in Russia change
the substance of the lecture very ma
terially. ..

TWENTY FIVE ARE SUSPENDED
Juniors Wore Their ,colors to the
Building in Defiance Of the
Authorities.

The ordinarily peaceful Tenth
Street park was turned into battle
ground yesterday morning about nine
o'clock. While the good house
wives of that neighborhood were busy
driving cheap bargains with hucksters
and grocer boys, they were suddenly
startled by the appearance of war
party of Junior boys and girls, from
the high school.
Without waste of time in pow-wow
the Juniors hoisted their battle flag
of purple and white from the top ofa
telephone pole and the housewives,
anticipating trouble, retreated to the
safety Of their domiciles.
Trouble came, for scarcely had the
purple and white flag been hoisted,
when the Senior army arrived on the
scene, led by class president Ralph
Guyer, who was formerly captain of
the football team and who does the
hammer and shot work in field and
track meets.
The sight of the hated Junior flag
brought blood to the eyes of the
Senior host, and according to sur
vivors of the terrible fight, the
"scrapn that ensued will long live
in the annals of brave deeds, and
high school students of days yet to
come will speak of it in hushed tones.
Principal Ellabarger stated yes
terday that trouble between the two
classes was foreseen Thursday, and
that the students were warned that
no scrapping about the school would
be permitted. According to the rul-
ing Of the school board, students are
not allowed to wear their class colors
in any shape or form in the high
school.
Yesterday morning. nearly every
senior was absent from school with
permission to prepare for their BAN
ouet. About eight O'Clock Juniors
began arriving at the school, and two
thirds of them had on their purple
and white ribbons.
Principal Ellabarger met them at
the entrance of the building and in
formed them that their presence was
not desired in the school. Ina short
space of time nearly the entire class
of forty-three boys and girls were
assembled outside the school, and de-
spite the earnest entreaties of class
president Rush Bowman, not to start
trouble, the Juniors got their banner
and the fight followed
Principal Ellabarger stated yester-
day afternoon that he had list of
twenty-five Junior boys and girls
who would be suspended. There was
perfect order in the school all day
yesterday. Prof. Ellabarger said
that he did not object to class scraps
but that he insisted on them being
fought outside the school and after
school hours.

Belasco Theater.

Virginia Harmed, at the Belasco last even
ing in the three-act comedy, 1.-The Love
Letter" adopted from the French Of Sar-
dou, gave a spirited and amusing account
of herself Miss Harmed is at her best in
the portraiture of extreme types of social
sophisticaton: she has the niceties and
artificialities of formal existence down to
the minutest details, in which infection,
posture, gesture and gowns all play de-
finite parts. THE Love Letter" affords
her, as Florence Revillon, abundant oppor-
tunity for the display of her special tall
ents The letter itself is discovered by her
devoted and very new husband in an old
desk She pretends that it belongs to a
previous owner Of the desk. In doing
She entangles herself in a mesh of contra
dictions and to- extricate herself has to
appeal to the chivalry of a man to whom
she had previously been married. The sit
uations are surprising and Partisan.
William Courtenay Casimir, the new
husband. under the succeeding throes of
ironical fury that quickly subsidies into
bliss, is entertaining. Albert Gran as Cous-
in Theodore Potard, who has travelled the
world over and laughs at marriage, with
his jubilant cynicism assists gayly in max
ing difficulties and quite infectiously
key of the comedy is held by the former hus-
band, Philippe Jobeln; and w. J. Ferguson
finds keen delight in turning this key and
rasping the nerves of everyone. Much Of
the comedy depends on his sardonic glee in
watching his matrimonial successor
squirm. Light graceful and happy in its
elimination, sufficient in setting and pre-
sentation, the comedy last night afforded
agreeable entertainment to a numerous and
responsive audience.

Mcmillan, at Ennice. 1t is charged that

gregatlng about $50. The checks were

Parham and O'Brien. Yesterday afternoon
about O'Clock they learned that Eller had
gone to Charlotte, and three hours later
they received word from the officials there

New National Theater.

"The Belle of Mayfair" which was seen
last night by large and highly amused
audience at the New National Theater is
an English musical comedy presented on a
scale Of liberality that Is almost colossal
A single comedian does not suffice to inter-
pref the fun, nor is single prima donna
intrusted with the responsibility for lyric
feats in the upper register. A glance down
the cast of characters reveals a list Of
names that makes it look as if the methods
of trusts had been borrowed and a comedy
merger established. The chief merit of the
story is that it is forgettable. Though pal
pably commonplace, it is unohtrusive and
does not interfere with the charming flow
of "Florodora" "reminiscences, which con-
stitute the music by Leslie Stuart The
humor, SO far as it depends on the efforts
Of the author, is distinctly Briton in quail
ity. 1t seems impossible for conservative
English mind to believe that anything can
be so overwhelmingly funny as the spectacle
of a man of high social position and abso-
lutely correct tailoring caught uttering i'm
beciities and capering in frivolous abandon.
This substantial ingredient must be pres
ent or 1t is not an English musical comedy.
But the cast supplies series of incidental
embellishments which make up insprofusion
for what may be lacking in native quality.
Here Is Mr.. Harry B. Burcher as gaunt,
agile nobleman, whose pride of family does
not prevent him from indulging in the most
eccentric dances; Mr.. Van Rensselaer,
Wheeler, clad most killingly in white fan
nels, with lavender trimmings; Richard F.
Carroll rich brewer. with his own ideas
of grammar and repartee; Ignacio Marti-
netti, agile In motion fluent of speech,
dapper and always agreeable-the list ex-
tends itself into proportions that compel
refuge in the phrase too numerous to
mention" And the ladies': Irene Bentley,
serene and intelligently chic in the rendi-
ton of a chansonette; Bessie Clayton.
graceful in terpsicorean moments and eff
fective in sprightly comedy; Valeska Sur
ratt stately serene, yet lending touch Of
quiet jollity to all that she does; Christie
Macdonald, demurely tuneful-the list Of
players begins to read almost like a COM
pilation of Whose Who in Musical Com
edy." There are show girls in statuesque
abundance, and when the entire company
is on the stage it looks like a magnificent
bouquet of modern millinery. The scenery
is in keeping with the gorgeousness of raj
ment and the augmented orchestra, under
the precise baton of Signor A. DeNovelli In.
terpreted for its full value the graceful
trickery which characterizes Mr.. Stuart's
composition.
