Roberts came 20 Omaha unheralded two
seasons ago, and played to utterly dis
couraging houses, but without abating her
artistic effort. Last season she had much
the same experience but stuck to her work
with zeal and undimlnished effort. This
season she was rewarded by attendance
that was encouraging, II not positively
profitable. In all likelihood, when she
comes back next season. the theater will
not be big enough to hold the people. Her
experience in this respect lie paraileled by
several others. Otis Skinner went broke
here once. and several times starved to
DEATH" in the language OF the Snowman.
Alexander Salvini came TO Omaha many
times before he got a house that would
pay him. and there are others. It is not
the intention here to scold people for not
going to the theater; the right of each and
all to patronize whatever sort of play or
star is favored is recognized and not COM
planned of. The idea of this writing Is 10
submit TO the Omahans that they have
often deprived themselves of some genuine
pleasure by remaining away from the
theater Just because they didn't know all
about the play and the star. Just take the
case OF 1.-THE Heir to the Hoorah." or
Alice Fischer in MRS. Jack" or a lot OF
good things that have been passed up. and
eternally regretted. The moral Of this Is
that 1t pays to take an occasional chance
when you are not cooksure. Frohman
doesn't control all the stars in the frma-
ment. nor does Clyde Fitch write all the
good plays.
Artistically Miss Roberts did not need
local approval, nor for that matter. did
she need New York approval. She had
demonstrated her right to II long before
she undertook the invasion of the east.
Her tour was literally one of conquest.
Established and popular in the far west,
her ambition urged her into strange lands,
and thither she went, her only Offering
being her art. In her case the wprd can
be used with all appropriate reverence.
With her art she has conquered, and her
field is no longer confined to the Pacific
coast, but is continent wide. In New York
the wall was sent up. "She should have
come to us ten years sooner" It Is al
ways matter Of disappointment TO the
true New Yorker that any one should de-
velop and secure recognition anywhere but
in New York. and as rule such a course
is fatal to metropolitan" aspirations.
Miss Roberts compelled the tribute of
praise and dollars. and the note Of regret.
Hers is a victory very few western women
can boast OF. Omaha Will be very glad to
see her again. no matter what play she has,
for it is unthinkable that she should take
up now anything unworthy OF her great
ability, and she may be assured that her
next visit will find her even greater in
our affections than this latest did.

Castle X COOKE
SUGAR ON SIERRA

The firm of Castle & Cooke is do
ing considerable towards keeping the
steamship Sierra on the local run.
The Oceanic Steamship Co. has given
out that the service will not be main
tanned unless sufficient freight is Of
fered in this port to make it pay, and
it is therefore up to the local ship
pers to send cargo by that boat if
they wish to see her remain on the
run. The firm mentioned has done
it's share by shipping $50 tons of SUI
gar from the Eva and Waialua plan
tations, which has heretofore been
shipped on boats other than these of
the Oceanic line.
I'VE did this to help the service
out" said E. d. Tenney, when seen
about the matter. 81 cannot say
whether we will continue to do it or
not. We certainly do not propose to
do the whole thing

LANAI CASE APPEALED
(continued from Page II

A fifth error alleged was in not de-
creeing that the exchange be can
celled and set aside and in not order
irg the reconveyance of the lands.
The last error cited was the action
of the Supreme Court in not granting
the motion of the plaintiff Terror,
made February 10, 1907, to continue
the injunction until the decision Of
the Supreme Court of the Territory
could be reviewed by the Supreme
Court of the United States.
McCandless prays, therefore, that
the decree of the Supreme Court be
reversed, the demurrer of McCand-
less sustained, the exchange nullified
and the land ordered reconveyed.
These papers in the case were, Mr..
Robertson stated recently, prepared
and made ready for filing by Judge
Gear shortly before his death. Rob-
ertson was at that time acting as as
sociate counsel for McCandless, and
he takes up the work where it was
left by Judge Gear The matter will
now go on to Washington, and it
will probably be a long time before
it is finally and definitely settled.

ALLEGED SWINDLER
FROM DETROIT TAKEN
DETECTIVE FROM LAKE CITY
LANDS HIS MAN
Prisoner Is Henry Molloska, and is
Badly Wanted-Dectectlve VIII
View Southern California
Before Returning

Lieutenant of Detectives R. A. Stento
of Detroit, Mich, arrived in this city last
night to take in charge and escort back
to the Lake City Henry Molloska, who
was arrested here Saturday night on teie-
graphic request.
Mollaska is wanted in Detroit for
swindling material men, house owners
and laborers out of more than $12, ,Q0I
under the Michigan lien law, the specific
charge against him being forgery.
In order to collect money on contracts
in that state it is necessary to swear that
all the material and labor has been paid
for before he can collect his money.
Mollaska is said to have made the neces
sary aff1davits in a number of cases and
then skipped with the proceeds, amount
ing to the sum named.
The day after he left the fraud was dis
covered, and Lieut.. Stenton started after
him. The detective traced him from De-
troit to New York, and then back across
the continent, finally locating, him in Los
Angeles and catching him here by tele-
graph.
He will leave on his return with the
prisoner within a day or two, desiring to
remain and view Southern California be-
fore going back to Detroit.
