Can't Make engagements Because of
Crippled Railroads-"The Prince
Chap Has harge aouse.

Many theatrical attractions have
lost dates recently owing to the
crippled condition Of the railroads
and have suffered much inconven-
fence by the lack of telegraph and
telephone facilities and the failure
Of the carrier companies to deliver
billing matter.
The Prince Chap which played
at the Grand here last night, lost the
date at Parkersburg and came he e
from Huntington via Charleston and
Burnsville. Manager Robinson did
not receive the telegraph messages
sent, to him and presumed the com
pany would not fill their date here.
He even advertised another altrac-
tion. At z o'clock last night ne got
their message and in spite of the re-
ports sent out broadcast that the
company would not reach here, it
played to large house.
The Arrival Of Kitty cancelled
sistersville and Parkersburg but will
be here next Tuesday night. Simple
Simon Simple" cancelled Marietta
and Gallipolis and it has not been de-
cided where that company will go
from here. The Carol Comedy com
pany laid OF here Monday and Tues
day but got through to Pine Grove
where it plays this week. The
Missouri Girl is tied up at Hunting
ton. "A Thorn in Her Heart" is
laying off at Parkersburg. Arthur
Dunn in "The Little Joker" The
Prince of Pilsen," and other at
fractions lost dates recently.
The Murray-Mackey company got
here from East Liverpool but not
without Manager Frank H. Mackey
doing some scheming.
The Prince Chap" last night was
splendid show and Cyril Scott and
the entire company deserve praise.

humor on account Of a ride on the

Panic seizcs Mayor Hmmer over
Exposures Telegram Makes Of
His, Official Acts.
THREATnNs COURT orFgonn
Also Appeals to a Higher source for
Aid in His Rescue, But
In Vain.

In the panic that has seized Harmer
since the Telegram began to show up
his miserable administration OF the
affairs of the city and the injustices
he tries to heap on some; while play
ing favorites to others. has caused
the mayor to threaten those higher
up than Nelson. No longer ago than
yesterday he raised a club over the
head of officials of the circuit court
and threatened one of the officers Of
the court with his own affidavit, un-
less that officer signed a statement
to be used by the mayor in his cam
paign. The court oficer very prop.
erly told him he was engaged in aid
ing court that was dealing out jus
tice and looking after the public
business and that the court was not
there for the purpose of furthering
his or any one else's political inter-
ests.
1t is stated the mayor went still
higher in an appeal for help in the
dilemma he finds himself in thus
early in the campaign, but he got no
solace there and no help.
Mayor Harmer claims that he was
invited to prosecute Joe Gallo. 1t
is known for fact that he insisted
that he should be the prosecutor in
the Thomas spillman case, which
was sister of the Gallo case. Not
only did he invite himself, but he
insisted that he should be called,
when the case came up, should he
not be in the court room. And
when that case was thrown out OF
court, he became so enraged that
the court had to remind him thar
the mayor was not the circuit court.
Then comes dHong the Gallo case
and the mayor to escape the Just
criticism. the Telegram made of his
action in prosecuting cases that have
been before him as trial Judge,
proceeds to set up the claim that he
was invited to try the case. what
change that makes no fair-minded
man sees. How that excuses him.
none except himself can understand.
Certainly because a man is invited
to do thing is no reason he should
do it. The mayor himself knows
better than to believe for single
instant that that sort Of an excuse
excuses him or any one else. But.
seized with fright and seeing the
handwriting on the wall, he is grasp
ing at any straw that he can and,
Threats against police and court
officers will not save him from his
doom. He knows he is defeated and
he may as well admit it now as later
and not again try to frighten officers
and others to come to his rescue.

OGLEsBY BILL ADVANCED
ILLINOIS REPUBLICANS WILL TRY
TO PASS THIS ACT.
Responsibility for Primary Legislation
viii Then Be Put up to
= the Senate.

Springfield, H., Oct. 23.--The Ogles-
by direct plurality primary election
bill was advanced to third reading in
the house Tuesday afternoon. An at
tempt will be made Wednesday to pass
this measure. If this movement is
successful, the lower house will then
put up to the senate the responsibility
for primary legislation.
Indications are that Oglesby and his
Republican friends will be compelled
to get their II votes from the Repub-
lican side of the house. Notice prac-
tically was served to this effect by the
Democrats. Mr., Pattison, leader OF
the minority, announced that his side
of the house considered both the
Oglesby and Pierson bills uRconstitu.
tional, and for this reason could not
vote for either.
OF 3S proposed amendments to the
oglesby bill, only one provided for
any material change and 1t was adopt.
ed, Mr.. Oglesby having previously
consented to the change. This was
in the section providing for the nom
ination Of legislative candidates. AS
amended, the voters determine wheth-
err one, two or three candidates shall
be nominated by political party. The
senatorial committee may suggest the
number to be nominated by its party
and copy of the resolution of sug-
gestion Is to be printed upon the
ballot. This feature was urged by the
Democrats and the amendment was Of
fered by Mr.. McGoorty. Another
amendment adopted provides that
the act shall not apply to township
or school elections.
After the Oglesby bill lad been adj
vanced the Democrats secured the sub
stitution of their new primary bill for
the one introduced last week and it
too was advanced to third reading. II
the Oglesby bill fails to muster suffi-
cient votes for its passage, the Demo
Gratis will call up their measure.
BY vote of nearly two to one, the
house Tuesday turned down every at
tempt TO exempt the Chicago sani-
tary district from the provisions of
the Allen bin declaring the Illinois
and Desplaines rivers nayigable
streams and forbidding any obstruc-
ton OF either The bill was then ad.
yanced to third reading.

fered serious repulse at the hands
of the Moors Monday.
Moorish troops, estimated to num-
Der 1000 men and equipped with field
guns and modern rifles. not only drove
the French back to the city walls, but
menaced the town to the extent that
the French authorities found it ex-
pedient to request aid from a Spanish
warship in the harbor to repel the at
tack.
Castle Anfloos, located at Timsourin,
near Mogador, which is known to hold
half million dollars, is endangered
by the advance of the Third division
under Mulai Hafid. The castle is be-
ing defended by Caid Anfloos himself,
who represents Sultan Abd-El,Aziz in
the south.
The French troopship Artois left
here Tuesday hurriedly with troops
and machine guns on board. This
force is going to the assistance of

lack Of ships and the outrageous
charges of the transportation COM

H. w. Gleason, United States COM

pleaded guilty to the charge, but,
nevertheless, the grand jury consid-
cred the case. The evidence produced
showed that the prisoners had forced
entrance to a building at White City
in which the post Office was located.
A second charge accused the men OF
stealing $SS5 in cash and $1z.4O in
postage stamps and postal supplies.
Recommended clemency
Commissioner Gleason recommend
ed to the court that clemency be
shown the prisoners because Of their
age. When asked what he was doing
at White City, which Is coal mining

ing relatives there, but was on his
way from Ohio to California for the
winter, where there was milder eli
mate. He did not like the winters.
In passing sentence the court said
that it panied him to be obliged to
sentence such young men but it was
his bounden duty and the transgres-
sor must pay the penalty. The court
said he believed Wilson was the
guiltfer of the two and gave him a
sentence twice as heavy as that OF
Talbot.
