HARRIS OODGED
REAL ISSUE BY
HOLLOW DEN|AlS

At a slimly y-attended meeting OF the
Eighth Ward Republican club in odd Fell
lows hall. 2Te Plainfield street. last eve
ming. Judge James Harris OF Smithfield,
ono OF Boss Brayton's most trusted lieu
tenants, was the speaker.
As expected. he lodged the real issues
OF the campaign behind generalities and
hollow dehials, but never once squarey
met the facts that all voters know exist,
thus pursuing the policy to be followed
by all Republican speakers, and never
once referred TO Governor Utters llth-
hour pretence OF attacking bossism.
The Democratic party says that the
Republican party for years has been in
machine control he said. That the
members of the assembly has been under
outside control Now. II that were a fact
a fact? 1t will not do 10 take rumor for
a fact. You must satisfy yourself
whether or not a fact Is a fact.
The Republican party has an organi-
zation that may be the machine they are
talking about and the men you have elect
ed TO the offices OF that organization may
be the bosses they talk about. To call
a man who is doing the work for which he
Is elected a boss is wrong. He is a pa
triot.
Now that is why the Democrats and
Lincoln party desire a change. They say
II Is boss ruled. Are you going 10 the
polls on a mere statement OF that kind
because the Republican party has an or
ganization?"

EMPIRE THEATRE

Thomas Z. Shea opened his annual en-
gagement at the Empire theatre last eve
ming before a large and appreciative au-
dience with an excellent performance of
The Bells" play specially adapted
from the French for Mr. Shea by Louis
Cordot. 10 was an agreeable change for
the Empire theatre patrons 70 witness the
production OF a standard play instead Of
the usual blood -curdhng melodrama.
The play has been seen in this city be-
fore with Mr.. Shea in the leading part
and will not be again performed this
week. IL Is filled with horror, as is ''Dr.
Jeekyll and Mr.. HYDE. and Mr.. Shea is
seen 10 good advantage. His role is very
difficult and he assumes II in a most
creditable manner.
The story deals with the sufferings and
tortures brought on by conscience Of a
poor man named Matthias, who murders a
rich Jew In order 10 rob him OF a large
sum of money with which he gets the
proper nourishment for his wife and baby
child, who were on the brink Of death.
that they may live. Nobody learns of the
murder, and Matthias accounts for his
sudden wealth by saying that IL was left
10 him by a rich uncle who died in
distant country. His conscience troubles
him and after his daughter is married 10
a good gentleman he gives them the
On the night of his daughters wedding
day Matthias has a terrible nightmare in
which he dreams a confession is wrought
from him in a court room by hypnotist,
and that he is sentenced TO death. While
he dreams that he is being hung on the
gallows, he strangles himself to death.
The Jew who was murdered had ridden
in a sleigh, and after the murder Matthias
dreams that he hears the ringing OF the
sleigh bells. and from this the name "The
Bells" is given to the play.
The play is we'll staged, and at times
last night the audience YVES spellbound,
so vividly was the horror Of the play
brought out. Even the ghost Of the Jew
is seen on the stage. In the last act
Matthias is the only character on the
stage. and II is in this act that Mr.. Shea
is seen at his best.
Mr.. Shea is supported by a capable
company. which includes Spencer Char
ters, ]. E. Gilbert James ]. Cassidy John
Michael Frank Darien. Robert Lee, j.
Irving Southard, Emma Southard, Pearl
Ford and Charlotte Burkett, and crowded
houses will probably witness the COM
pany's plays during the remainder Of the
week
The repertoire will be as follows car

IMPERIAL THEATRE

william p. watson's Musical Comedy
company this week at the Imperial thea
ter is throughout stellar congregation.
The weight OF the comedy is admirably
sustained by William B. Watson; and in
every instance that his wit and humor
are In demand he meets the requirement
with credit. AS a laugh-provoker and
humorist. he is far above the average I;
and the large audience that attended last
evenings performance was very appre-
ciative. His makeup and mannerism IN
the opening comedy were especially
amusing and furnished much OF the life
for the skit.
The opening piece. entitled THE Nor
mons" Is a snapshot OF life in Salt Lake
City. in which Mr. Watson as Archibald
Prim a lively young Mormon, gives full
scope 10 his humorous abilities. The scene
affords, an idea Of Mormon life and
that keeps the audience I'm continual
laughter.
The olio opens with the Millership Sis
ters in song and dance sketch. Both
wooden shoe dancing, which showed
many difficult steps, was received with
rounds OF applause. The Yamannote
troupe OF wire experts come next; and
their daring feats on the tight and slack
wire were fully deserving OF the warm
praise that the audience bestowed. The
feats which these two Japs perform both
afoot and astride bicycles with such ap-
parent ease place them pre-eminent In
this line OF work. The olio closes with a
lively sketch by Charles Grace and Lew
Reynolds, whose antics or the whirlwind
variety contain a certain element OF fun
that serves 10 keep the audience in a
jolly mood.
The closing comedy. THE Bashful We
nus" harmonizes with the rest OF the
program, and again affords Mr.. Watson
the opportunity TO ventilate his humor.
The title role is sustained by Miss Gill
bert, and with the addition OF an attrac-
81 all IL al he
tertainment is most complete.
The same program will be carried out
through the week with daily matinee
and amateur night" on Thursday.

the college crews gave up hard training for the
intercollegiate regatta here on Saturday. The
Columbia crews were the only ones which did
not confine themselves to light rowing. The
varsity and freshmen eights INDUCED in a hard
race for about mile and half
Inc day was fair and warm but the Hudson
was rough. so that the conditions were not
favorable for fast work The fact that most
OF the freshmen crews have been beating the
varsity boats consistently has been interesting
me rival coaches, but opportunity was Of
Tered TO get a line on the Youngsters to-day.
The Cornell varsity rowed something like four
hundred yards against the freshmen. but had to
pun up because the Wisconsin varsity boat got
in the way.
The Pennsylvania crews rowed about two
miles and the Wisconsin oarsmen took about a
mile in easy stretches OF about two hundred
yards at time. This crew is somewhat dis
organized by the changes that have been made
and If its chances were poor before il came here
they are almost nothing now.
! Georget own came down the course for three
miles IN the afternoon, the form of the Wash
irgtonians being rather good. Dempsey feels
encouraged by the constant improvement in his
crews and he is beginning to say that it might
be we'll TO look out for them. He says they will
go the distance.

Pennsylvania and Cornell Pennsylvania VIII
have only one crew, but the others will start
two apiece.
The early betting on the races seems TO make
Cornell a favortte for two of the three races,
with Syracuse highly regarded for the fresh
race The Pennsylvania four, which An
drew O'Dea said would be the winner, has
gained some ground that account but is not
really so good might be imagined by O'Dea's
commendation. Columbia and Georgetown are
apparently not considered by those who are 60

the moneyed factions Of the supporters OF these
two crews.
The following statistics show how the crews COM
