A Great Revival.

Considerable interest has been
aroused among our lovers of intelli-
gent drama, through the announce
ment of the forthcoming presentation
here of that comedy drama, "The Hid
den Hand" which is masterful dram.
atization of Mrs. Southworth's popular
and widely read novel of the same
name which will be presented here at
the Auditorium November Is. In dra-
matte form this remarkable story is
divided into four acts and deity un.
folds the tale of the life of the madcap
Capitola and her life among the quaint
characters in Old Virginia as told in
Mrs. Southworth's charming story,
Unless carefully treated and intelli.
gently handled, story such as THE
Hidden Hand" would possibly border
on the sensational, but in the manner
presented this clever version can be
safely classed as a comedy drama
classic, and while 1t illustrates the
perhaps unusual imaginative power OF
its famous authoress, ii is nevertheless
play of intense human interest and
one that has received the earnest en-.
dorsement and financial encourage,
ment of theatergoers wherever this
attraction has been presented.

If Pass Is a Bride, Then All Presi-
dents From Lincoln Down to Roose-
Welt Have Been Bribed, According
to Fusion Leader.
A railroad pass accepted by Judge
of the courts is not bribe unless it
is given and accepted as bride, ac-
cording to former United States Sen
ator William V. Allen.
The News took advantage of the
presence of Senator Allen in Norfolk,
to ask his opinion on the abstract
question as to whether or not judges
of our courts can be justly accused of
blasting their judicial decisions be-
cause of passes that they may have
been offered and accepted.
An Abstract Query.
The question of parties did not en-
ter into the interview with Senator AL
len. Candidates for election were not
mentioned or discussed in any degree.
This simple abstract question was put
to Senator Allen because he is recog-
niZed as one of the foremost states
men in the fusion ranks of the United
States today, he has served in the
United States senate and on the dis
trict bench, he was termed by Mr..
Bryan the best friend the people of
Nebraska have ever had in the sen.
ate" and it was believed that his an
swer would be unbiased and fair.
81 am in hearty accord with my par.
ty and believe in the election of the
fusion ticket from top to bottom.
There is no doubt that the pass
system is an evil incident to private
ownership of railways and probably
will only disappear entirely with gov
eminent ownership.
Pass Not a Bride.
II do not believe that pass is a
bride unless it is given and accepted
as a bride and ] do not believe that
there is a judge in the state of Ne.
braska whose decisions or official con.
duct have been influenced by pass
Many of the judges no doubt have
fallen into the habit of accepting pass.
es when rendered them but l have too
much high appreciation of their per-
sonal worth and integrity to believe
that any of them have been swerved
from the path of duty by a pass.
yet | think the pass, like the re-
bate, should speedily disappear, but in
by judgment this can only be accom-
plished by Matchmaking the railroads
| have no doubt that judges of our
courts will observe the public wish on
the subject of passes.
All Presidents Bribed?
''If the pass is now to be considered
as a bride every president, including
the present incumbent, from Lincoln
down, has been bribed for railroads

ton by the trainload until about year

WARRANT FOR
ROCKEFELLER
Now In Hands of An Ohio Sheriff
Oil King Makes No Reply.

A warrant for the arrest of John ID.
Rockefeller was recently issued by the
state authorities at Findley, Ohio, and
is now in the hands OF the sheriff OF
HancccK county. This warrant was
issued on a complaint fled by Prusecu.
tor Dsvio, charging Rockefeller with
violating the antitrust law in organic
ing and maintaining a monopoly in
the oil business. The warrant directs
the sheriff TO ''take the said John d.
Rockefeller If found in our country, or
ii he shall have fled, that you pursue
him to any other country in the state,
and take and safely keep the said John
d. Rockefeller, so that you have his
body before this court to answer the
said complaint and be further dealt
with according to law" The warrant
is signed by Judge Banker, of the pro-
bate court of Hancock county.
John d. Rockefeller is now at Cam
piegne. France. The Chicago Record
Herald printed a cablegrsm from Cam
pIegne in which Rockefeller is quoted
as saying: II will make no statement
whatsoever for publication. Rockefeller
said this when questioned about the
warrant for his arrest 1c Paris
newspaper man who asked for bis
opinion on this warrant Mr.. Rock
feller wrote: This whole affair is
matter of politics. Prof. Strong,
Mr.. Rockefeller's son n-in-law, said to
the same newspaper man: "The issue
of the warrant is absurd. A word OF
explanation from Mr.. Rockefeller, will.
dismiss it, " Tne oil magnate seems,
however, to be considerably worried,
