ADJUSTMENTS
WILLARD IS GOOD.

A rival of Walter Whlteside and
Richard Mansfield held a large audi
ence last night and ELECTED generous
round of applause from the pleased
crowd when Lee Willard made his ini-
tial appearance with his own company
engaged to play here for nine nights.
The role of DIR. Jekyl and Mr.. Hyde"
has been played by the great Mansfield
and while this foremost of American
thespians is without a peer, yet it is
not presumptious to say that Mr.. Will
lard is his worthy understudy. The
rapidity of his change from one
character to another is a feature of the
play. The company is well balanced
and each player does his part in a
creditable manner. With the popular
prices charged the Willard troupe
should become as great favOrites as
did the Redmond company.

zeal with which they have taken up
the noble game of baseball, but eVi-

that that official has no legal or moral
right to equip himself with revolver

the Cuban temperament it Is still IN
that Umpire Borrato
should have drawn his pistol before
delivering his final judgement, and
that having so declared his intentions
should Immediately retreat behind the
protecting police force.
In a few eloquent words secretary
Taft could have demonstrated that the
American umpire discounts the perlis
of Office before he accepts 1t. He KNOWS
that he is bound to please one faction
and displease another and that he IS
at all time subject to anathema ana
the throwing of cushions and pop DOT
ties And he also knows that not IN
he must depart from the
scene of his labors under the guidance
and care of the police, and that MS
ears must be assailed by terms of OPP
probrium that may not be repeated at
the fireside or whispered in the family
circle, All this he expects and all this
is permitted under the popular rules
that govern the great American game
But all leagues and all associations
agree that when an umpire has been

in Kenosha and that she herself might
be forced to stand in the prisoners
box with Conklin she left the city and
sent this message to Conklin:
You will have to take your meui-
cine, Ed, can't stay to save you"
When the case was called Conklin
entered a plea of guilty. and the main
argument was in regard to the penalty
that should be given. In the argument
in regard to the sentence the entire
story of their relations were brought
out. 1t is alleged that Mrs. Murphy
was with COnklin at Twin Lakes un-
of Murphy.
Mrs. Murphy was Miss Clara De-
Haven Clement, prominent in ST. Louis
society She married John c. Policy,
Jr., son of the late John G. Policy,
formerly widely known in Chicago. She
was divorced from Policy and married
Murphy.
On several occasions Murphy and
Conklin met in personal combat and
the entire city became interested in tbs
fight. In October last year Mrs. Muir

granted the husband put in cross
bill, accusing his wife and naming
Conklin as correspondent. The cross
bill was not pushed, but was with
drawn when the woman consented to
take a divorce without alimony and
her husband to have the custody of the
children.
Mrs. Murphy spent much time at
summer resorts in Richmond, ILL.,. and
at Twin Lakes.
