r-HE mixup in local theatricals

-HE mixup in local theatricals over
the prospective coming of the San
Carlos opera company illustrates
very clearly the arbitrary way in which
the syndicate hands out attractions to
this city. It's rule is, Take what we
send you; if you don't like that, stay
away, and you won't get any," The
desires and wishes of Los Angeles cut
no figure whatever in the case.
Now, it is beyond reason to think that
Los Angeles would prefer week each
of 1.-The County Chairman and Mrs.
Wiggs," good as they may be, to the
opera company for the same period. 1t
has seen both these other shows, and,
while it liked them, it is not raving,
tearing mad to have another week of
each. 1t could, in fact, get along very
we'll without them. And it very likely
will give them slim patronage, even IL
they come in spite of its expressed de-
sire for the opera company instead.
Anyone at all familiar with the syn
dicate methods knows that 1T could
so shift it's bookings that the opera
company would be let in here at the
desired time If it wished. But-here's
the niger in the woodpile-it doesn
wish. Cause why? Because it either
has an interest in the two above men
toned, or else gets bigger share OF
the profits from them than it would
from the opera company, in which it
has not a partnership. Hence the
opera company can go hang, even If Los
Angeles does want it; our" shows
have to be taken care of regardless
This attitude of the syndicate is well
illustrated by the words of the man.

manager thus vented himself:
LOS Angeles ought to be glad to get
syndicate shows of any sort. 1t ought
to be thankful to Klaw & I1rlanSer for
sending any sort of show out here
when it could be kept east of Kansas
City and make more money. There Is
nothing in sending a show to this burg;
the people don't know a good one and
won't turn out to see it. DO you suppose

Wages Raised.

Jalisco Times: The engineers of the Mexican Central will receive an increase in wages amounting to about twelve per cent, according to an agreement reached between the committee now in the city and Vice President c. R. Hudson, says the Mexican Herald. Less than a week was consumed in reaching an agreement after the conferences were begun, although the petition for an increase has been in the hands of the management for sew eral weeks. The details of the agreement have not yet been worked out, but this will take only a few days time, after which the agreement will be signed and go into effect. It was stated yester- day that the agreement is on the basis recently agreed on between the engineers of the National Lines and General Manager Clark of that system, and the use of this agree ment as a basis made an agree ment possible with the Central enginero without loss of time.

ADJUSTMENTS
The Warning Bell.

A pastoral drama of unusual merit
is booked as the attraction at the
Metropolitan tomorrow for two per-
formances. The play is THE Warn
ing Bell" 1t tells beautiful story
of the life of the quaint old folks of
Cape Cod. 1t is somewhat on the
order of Shore Acres" and way
Down East" but contains more dram
attic action however. The story of the
play as it unfolds itself, is one which
contains much heart interest and gen.
uine humor. The love of the young
country pumpkin for the village belle.
and the wandering from the path of
right, tempted by the handsome, pol
ished william from the city, from the
thread of the story, and gives many
opportunities for fine dramatic situa-
tons and thrilling climaxes, all of
which the author has taken advantage
of. The scenic and electrical effects
are said to be magnificent. The cast
is headed by Wanda Ludlow, a most
excellent comedienne and ably sup
ported by that peculiarly clever coined
ian, Phil Jean Barnard, with over a
score of artists in the production
artists of unquestioned ability and the
supporting cast is a select one, con-
tanning the names of we'll known met
ropolitan players. Lovers of good
plays will do themselves an injustice
if they fail to take advantage of see
ing this celebrated attraction.

FRESH WATER TAR'S
FUN ABOARD
SHIP
Grand Forks Young Man Gave
"Sleep Cure" to Men Who
Were Hazing Him.

Friends of Bruce Haselbarth, the
Grand Forks young man who recently
returned from four years service in
the United States army, and who, it
Is reported, expects soon to re-enlist,
are telling a good story on Bruce's
first experiences after adopting the
Jackie" calling.
1t seems that newcomers on board
the ship, whether training vessel, or
regular war vessel, are compelled to
submit to an initiation, and the tao
tics employed, it is further stated, are
not at all of the nursery or kinder
garten. kind, so far as gentleness in
handling the applicant is concerned.
When it came to giving Mr.. Hasel-
barth the initiatory work, however,
the story goes that the fun-makers
bumped against real genuine snag.
Bruce tips the scales at about 1870,
and is scienced boxer, having in
his younger days for the fun of it,
participated in several genuine ring
encounters. Anyhow, to resume the
story. Bruce was stacked up" against
the burliest man on board ship, and
having duly dispatched him to slum-
berland, another of the good ones"
was taken on. This process, it is as
serted, continued until the fresh water
tar had slowed safely away every
fighter of note on board. The result
was, that the young man Immediately
won the entire respect and confidence
of all his mates, and from that day till
the expiration of his enlistment, he
was not again bothered.

THETA MI EPSILON.

New York, March 29.-At the Hotel
Aston today there was opened the first
general convention ever held by the
Theta M Epsilon fraternity, though
the society has been in existence many
years and has membership extending
over the country. The purpose of the
convention is to organize the present
system of government Of the society
without in any measure departing from
the original objects of its founders.
The development of the society since
its organization in 1870 has been so
rapid that a more complete control of
the national organization is necessary.
The convention will come to an end
with a banquet tomorrow night, at
which men of prominence in the world
of affairs with membership in the So
ciety will be the speakers.
