Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

The management of the Jacques has no qualms of conscience in recom- mending to the patrons of the house the bill which is offered them this week, confident that the acts Will more than come up to the high stand ard of excellence which Manager Poli preserves in all his programs. The numbers are splendidly balanced and almost every department of vau- deville is represented, so that the most diverse tastes will find a good deal to amuse them. The headline feature "The Boy Next Door," the continuous laugh maker which intro. duces George Felix. Lydia Barry and company, is the very thing to put ey- eryone in the best of humor.

 The group on the sidewalk had stopped to watch the two little tod dlers eat their fruit, and had seen the other children gather miraculously from among the telescoping wagons and carts and pedestrians. Now oD4 of the group came straight to Luigi's cart, oblivious of the cabling and pro testing voices and hands of the vend- CTS nearer the curb
 "Oh. you poor little dears!" she cried. her voice quivering. T never knew anybody could be hungry like that. I-I-it makes me feel almost like crying" unconscious that tears were already trickling down her cheeks. And here are so many more! What is all your fruit worth?"
 Luigi was staring. A lady like this, such as he had never sold fruit to be- fore, coming to his cart past all the others. His mind flew to Rhetta's mother. Perhaps in time
 "One hundred lira-twenty dolla," he answered, his thoughts coming back hurriedly. Tt will be enough. Meb- ba I make him some"
 "Very we'll" the young lady inter. rupted, reaching for the fruit with both her hands and scattering 1t among the crowding children.

 "No. no, signorina," he protested. q not mean that was thinking of-of another thing. Ten dolla-nine dolla is plenty big"
 But the young lady forced the money into his hands.
 "It was we'll worth it," she insisted. "I haven't enjoyed anything so in months And I want to thank you for your part in it. I saw you let the little fellows have fruit, and that gave me the idea It was nice of you9 Good.by."

WILD RUMoR CLOSES SCHOOLS
Twenty-Five Thousand Children Idle
when Parents Hear
False Report.

NEW YORK. June "a wild rumor that
Chidren's throats were being cut In the
public schools resulted in such excitement
and panic throughout the lower East Side
today that fifteen schools. with 1900 pupils,
were closed for the day. The trouble was
caused by operations performed on several
children yesterday for the removal Of
adenoids, a fungus growth in the back of
the throat and nasal cavity. The opera
tion is not q dangerous one, but the re-
ports spread rapidly today, and especially
among the Hebrews, and became changed
into rumors that Jewish massacres were to
be repeated in this country and start
was being made on Hebrew children in the
schools 1t was not long until many Of
the schools were surrounded by crowds OF
panic-stricken parents bent on rescuing
their little ones from what they believed
to be impending death. These crowds be-
came so threatening that hurried calls for
protection were sent to the nearest police
stations and all the patrolmen available
were sent out to restore order
In one instance police court was closed
for an hour to permit the court attendants
and officials to aid the police in protecting
a neighboring school At one building the
excited people became riotous and doors
and shutters were closed to insure the
safety Of those inside. All attempts at
continuing the sessions for the day were
seen to be useless and one after another
the principals decided to dismiss their pu-
pills for the day As the little ones marched
the scenes were pathetic, weeping women
rushing forward to clasp their children in
their arms in thanksgiving. Throughout
the disorders the several hundred extra po-
licemen on duty were poweress to restore
order The district affected extends from
the Bowery to the East river and from
| Catherine to Houston streets.

have its bad feature been brought to the
attention of the insurance men that with
an almost entire accord they have de-
clared they will have no more of It, The
San Francisco fire has convinced the
bigger companies that they need all Of
their own strength and that the smaller
companies must shift for themselves in
the future.
Among the companies who is said have
declared their intention OF eoncelling all
OF their reinsurance contracts throughout
the entire country are the Continental,
the Aetna, the Home of New York the
London. Liverpool & Globe. the North
British and Mercantile OF London and

RATE CONFERENCE is FRUrrLEss
suEEested Compromise on Passes and
Pipe Lines VIII BE Considered.

Suggested Compromise on Passes and
Pipe Lines win be Considered.
WASHINGTON, June 2.-The conference
on the railroad rate bill tonight resulted
In no agreement ON that measure.
The discussion made 1t clear that the pass
provision which is to be perfected for the
action OF the committee tomorrow morning
will follow closely the lines Of the original
senate amendment on that subject. II will
name certain classes OF persons who may
receive passes and exclude all others.
There is also ground for the prediction that
the pipe line amendment will be reported
exactly as II was in the last conference re-
port, that is the phrase common carriers"
will give place 10 the word railroads"
The effect of this will be to permit pipe
lines 10 transport the product owned by the
owners OF the pipe line.
Before discussing the two disputed amend
ments It was decided that the former agree
ment as to all other points IN dispute
should stand. This was the first meeting
since the rejection Of the conference report
by the senate on account Of the pass
amendment and the provision relating 70
pipe lines.
