STUDY FILES DEMURRER
REPRESENTS HUGH ALLEN
Holds that Receiver Spekenhier Has
No Right to Sue Estate of John
Bowman on Behalf of Oepositors of
Defunct Bank.

demurrer to the complaint filed
Monday by Receiver Spekenhier, of
the defunct Commercial Bank, of Ha-
gerstown, was filed yesterday by At
torney Thoams J. Study, representing
Hugh Allen, administrator OF the es-
tate of the late John Bowman,
against whom the claim of the depos
itors was filed. In his claim, Receiv
er Spekenhier says that there is now
owing the depositors of the bank, a
sum of S106,137.87, by the estate of the
late John Bowman, as the money
which Bowman appropriated to his
own use when he was cashier of tie
institution. The demurrer is filed on
two grounds-frSt, it alleges that the
complaint does not state facts suffi
cient to constitute a course of action,
and second, it says that the plaintiff
in the claim, has no legal capacity to
sue. The demurrer will be acted on
in Circuit Court this morning. Rob-
bins & Starr represent Spekenhier.

Vaudeville at the. Phillips.

Business is big at the New Phillips
this week and it is deserved, for the
bill offered in worth anybodys ten
cents. Carl Raymond, who does the
comedy acrobatic work, is one of the
most clever New Phillips patrons have
ever seen, and he has some features
to his acrobatic work that are new,
one being a. very difficult split, using
two chairs. Lew Wren, who is one of
the biggest men, physically, ever ap-
pearing on the New Phillips stage, is
a good fellow and with the help of
his clever wife, they put on turn that
never fails to secure them repeated
calls. Mr.. Wren's whistling and i'm
itations being the chief thing that cat
ches the popular fancy. He makes
some local hits in his monologue that
create no end of laughter. Singing
seems to be the one thing that the
Lyric Quartet lives for and they work
at it with a commendable desire to
entertain, not merely to draw their
contract price. The result is that they
make good from the start and they
cannot get away without putting on
two or three more numbers than might
ordinarily be expected of them.

MOST DANGEROUS
WIRES TO REMAIN
Ordinance Passed by Council
Does Not Affect High Ten
sion Wires on Main.
TELEPHONE WIRES ONLY
THE GENERAL IMPRESSION THAT
MAIN STREET is TO BE CLEAR
ED OF ALL ITS WIRES is
WRONG.

Council Tuesday night passed an Or
dinance to the effect that telephone
companies now operating in this city,
or telephone companies which may
operate here in the future, must place
their wires underground whenever
the lines are rebuilt, but this does not
mean, as the general impression
seems to be, that all wires On Main
street will be removed
1t is probable that the Western I'm
ion Telegraph Company and the Pos
tai Union Telegraph Company will
contract for the use of ducts in the
conduits when the Home Telephone
Company and the Central Union Tel
ephone Company rebuild, and the fire
alarm wires and police telephone and
alarm wires will also be placed in
these conduits. However, the high
tension wires of the Light, Heat and
Power Company, and the Municipal
Light plant will still remain overhead
as the officials of both telephone com
panies emphatically declare that they
W III uOI dllO" tic ploSiuS VI lllSi tCh
sion wires in their conduits. There
is no ordinance yet in effect which
cmpels the wires of the two power
plants to so underground, and the or.
dinance passed by council Tuesday
night does not compel the telephone
companies to take in their conduits
the wires of any other companies un'
less they so desire.
Much as it may be generally regret
ted, the poles on Main street are
doomed to remain for the time being
in fact until council is prepared to
pass another ordinance compelling the
placing of high tension wires under
ground. 1t is the popular sentiment
that such action should be taken as
Main street will never be perfectly
safe or present something like an at
tractive appearance until such action
is taken.

At THE THEATERS
Vaudeville at the Gennett.

Owing to the highly pleasing nature
of the bill, this week is proving one
Of the best in the history of vaudeville
at the Gennett the performances be-
ing attended by large audiences that
are sent away in the best Of humor. 1t
has been a long time since any COM
binatiOn in vaudeville at the Gennett
entertained as we'll as the Four Ellis
worths, who are there this week and
who put on a society playlet and in
addition to it some meritorious sing
ing and dancing by the juvenile mem
bers of the troup. Clark and Duncan,
refined comedy entertainers, have a
pleasing offering, the former showing
marked ability as fun-producer. His
rendition of the Italians story of his
backing of an opponent to John L.
Sullivan in prize fight, and his take
off on the cheap tragedy of the melo-
drama convulse the audiences. Car
rolton and Hodges, blackface coined
ians, who are well known to patrons
of the Gennett through a previous
appearance here, are among the clev-
crest of blackface entertainers.

BURIAL PERMIT WITHHELD
Coroner Not Willing to Issue it With

at Greenfield.

Greenfield, Ind, June 90. (Spl)-
An unusual question arose yesterday
over the burial of Olsen Hyatt, who
me with death by falling from a cher
ry tree. A coroner's inquest was held
against the advice of the county at
torney, who said it was not the pur-
pose of the law to be burdened when
the facts in the case were plainly evil
dent. The County Commissioners
made it known that the board would
follow the advice of the county at
torney in allowing the bills. The un-
dertaker had no burial permit, there
was no attending physician, and the
coroner refused to issue certificate
of burial without investigation. The
matter was not adjusted till s o'clock
last night, when permit of burial
was issued.
