DOPE FfIND
HIGHWAYMAN

DR.. J. B. Hendrickson was held
up last night near Seventh avenue
and Hilliard street by lone high.
wayman. It was just getting dusk.
The doctor describes the criminal
as young man. He was evidently
novice, and as the doctor was a
little slow about obeying the com.
mand, Hands up" the robber, who
appeared very nervous, discharged
his revolver, and the doctor took to
his heels and got away safely. The
police think the deed was done by
what in police circles is known as
a shop head"-a man who uses
drugs. The deed was so bold, hold
ing up man just about dark and
firing In so thickly inhabited a
with the usual nerve and GOODNESS
community that no highwayman
would have undertaken 1t. These
"hop heads" when they get their
systems full are the most daring
people on earth, and don't appear to
have the least realization of dan
ger.

was sold yesterday and when the

decided to have little impromptu

things were waxing warm, when an

commenced partaking of the gener-

the liquor overcame his Judgment

went up to the bar and said: Shay,

THE REPUBLICAN CONGRESS-
MEMS DEFENSE OF THEIR
ACTION IN REPEATING THE
LAW,

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 49,
Republican members of congress
are quite ready to defend their &C.
ton in repeating the eight hour la
Dor law in Its application to the
alien labor employed in building
the Panama canal.
Representative Lucius N. Lit.
tauer of New York Is the official
spokesman. Here's his statement:
The question as ii finally came
before congress was whether to re-
peal the law limiting the hours of
daily service of laborers and me-
chanics employed upon the public
works of the United States In so
far as that law is applicable to alien
labor in the canal zone. 1t differs
from a provision previously SUBJ
mitted to the house in that it ex.
empts the citizens of the United
States from the application of the
repeal.
"All who have considered the
problem at Panama have reached
the positive conclusion that the
great obstacle to the rapid con-
struction of the canal Is our in.
ability to secure a sufficient force
of unskilled manual laborers of fair
efficiency.
I'VE have been compelled, as the
French were before us. to draw our
labor from the adjacent islands or
the West Indies, from Martinique,

able company OF players and when
"An American Citizen" in which
Nat Goodwin was so successful, is

by Miss Henrietta Brown, we'll
known and much admired eastern
stock star in the leading female
parts, the company should prove
one Of the most welcome additions
from a dramatic standpoint.

The above list comprises not only
the largest stock company in the

the best, as the management of the

time nor expense in securing the
best talent obtainable. The same
policy which has made of the Wash

not only as source of amusement
but also of instruction.
The long and successful career
of Mr.. Cordray as a theatrical man

brought out at the Columbia, the
new house should prove a great sue
cess from the opening date.
