A FORBIDDEN ITEM.
Constable Orders The News Not to
Print Report of Case in Court.


"As constable / forbid you to make
mention of this case" was the solemn
warning uttered by Constable bigger
in the Justice court of G.. F. Eiseley
this afternoon. CAS- constable | here
by forbid you to make no mention of
this matter" A second time the warn
ing was directed against The News
reporter.
Judge Eiseley looked mildly start
led, but the constable appeared to be
in earnest. To lend authority to his
words he fingered a book of the en-
acted statutes of the state A hur-
ried examination of the book did not
reveal the constable's authority, but
he still maintained his right to eXer-
else a censorship over the press.
The justice court case over which
the constable desired to exercise cen
sorship was filed during the day by
August Pofahl, who alleged that he had
been the victim of an assault inflicted
last Saturday by a thirteen-year-old
lad living on Park avenue. The trou-
BILE that Pofahl has been having with
the boys of the neighborhood is Of
some time standing The lad was
brought before Justice Eiseley and
denied having heaved bricks at Pofahl
on the day in question.

What Omaha Says Of Hoity lofty.

Concerning Hoity Toity, the Weber
& Field musical extravaganza which
appears at the Auditorium Wednesday
evening and for which tickets are now
on sale, the following comments are
taken from Mondays Omaha papers:
Omaha World.Herald: "Hoity Toi-
| ty."
Greeted by two packed houses this
Weber & Fieldian skit demonstrated
for a second time its qualities as a
mirth provoker Clever music, be-
witching costumes, striking scenic eff
fects leavened by plot, which strange
to say can be readily discerned, are
largely responsible for lasting popu-
larity of the production.
Two scenes of unusual merit are the
features of "Hoity Toity." The first
occurs in the second act when Sauer-
braten, a wealthy delicatessen purvey-
or, allows himself to be persuaded by
Kaffenkucken and Schnitzel, his two
parasitic friends, into establishing a
Nationally Bank" He only rescues
himself from their continued over
drafts by checking out all the cash in
the bank to himself.

sented twice yesterday in the Krug

serves to while away a few hours. The
program pronounces 1t "giddy little
skit on things dramatic and other
WISE" and the such it is. There is
the barest suggestion of a story, and
in the main it is bunch of specialties
and songs, some of which stirred the
risibilities of those in the Krug yester
day. In the piece are three clever
comedians of the knockabout German
type, Emil Heusel, Nat Bernard ant

AT The THEATER
Mr.. Lawrence Evart.

II was the same Lawrence Eyart
and the same clever company who re-
turned to Norfolk to present that fas-
cinating rOmantic-cOmcdy, 1--WE Are
King" The only difference i'm the play
this time and its presentation last fall
was the size of the audience. II was
n representative house that greeted
the young star on his return and to
declare that Mr.. Evart delighted his
audience from start to finish Is put
ting it mildly. He made friends of
every person in the audience and their
esteem was CXcmpliliCd at the close of
the second act when Mr.. Evart after
five curtain calls, was forced by the
applause to make a little speech He
briefly expressed his appreciation and
that of his company for the enthusi-
astc reception which they had met on
their return in Norfolk and said he
hoped that they might come again
Incidentally he congratulated the thea
ter management upon having trans
formed the playhouse into a coy one
from one that was not co2y. One of
the members of the company stated
that the whole troupe, on their for
mer visit, were afraid CT catching
pneumonia and that they were agree
ably surprised at the change.
Mr. Evarts splendid figure, his good
voice and his Clevclnvss in changing
from Venner to Hector almost instant
~, greatly pleased. People who saw
the play last fall were even more
pleased with its repetition. VIII r.
Chattcrton, in the role of Count Sax
cndorf was still as clever as he could
be and his sincerity brought him ap.
plause.
1--WE Are King" is a play that was
written by Walker Whiteside and
played by him for a year In Mr..
Whiteside's company Mr. Eyart played
the role of the raven last year And
it must be said that Edmund Carroll,
who is now playing the part. is con
yinCing in his work. Mr. Carroll was
also formerly with Mr.. Whiteside.
The verdict of playgoers after see
ing Mr. Evart was practically unani-
nous that he is a coming man on the
stage and Norfolk people expressed
the hope that he might be booked for
return engagements in new plays, dur
ing seasons to come.

PRESIDENT IS FOR TAFT
ROOSEVELT COMMITS HIMSELF
ON PRESIDENCY.
TELLS DENEEN OF ILLINOIS
At a Conference Between the Nations
Chief Executive and Illinois Gov
ernor, Secretary of War is Doomed
for Republican Nomination.

Washington, d. c., March 19.-Since
Gov. Deneen's conference with Presi-
dent Roosevelt Secretary Taft, and
Henry Taft, the latter's brother and
campaign manager, Washington has
been seething with presidential poll
tics.
Friends of Speaker Cannon and Vice
President Fairbanks, some, perhaps,
inspired, are denouncing the president
for what they term his unheard of in
reference and predict 1t will lead to
a combination of these men, which will
insure the defeat of Taft, whatever
else happens. The president is well
aware of this possibility, but insists
he has done nothing which warrants
an explanation, and in any event will
not depart from his intention to fur
Their as far as he properly can the po-
litical destinies of his secretary of
war.
Only today he reiterated his belief
in the soundness of Secretary Taft's
candidacy. He is for Taft not only
because of his secretary's record, not
only because of his belief that he will
carry out the policies he has initiated,
but because he believes he is the man
to beat Bryan.
Praise for Taft's Record.
Whatever may be said of the presi-
dents talk with Gov. Deneen, this
much is absolutely certain. When he
introduced the secretary to the gov
ernor he spoke of the formers clean
and earnest support of policies he had
put into practice and which the gov
ernor stated had received the approval
of the people of Illinois and the middle
west. This was a straight indorse.

1t to do.

did not ask the governor to aid Mr..
Taft's candidacy, so that the latter was
not placed in the awkward position OF
