STRANGERS TO INTIMIDATE.

AS evidence OF the terror I'm certain parts
of the country. OF the riders told of visit
ing the home Of young farmer in the south
ern part Of Daviess County At the time the
farmer was visited he was ploughing in field
When ne saw the men dismounting from their
horses and climbing his fence he left his team
standing in the field and took 10 the hills The
riders" went after him. but he proved too swift
for them, and soon climbed the hill and was
out of sight After much searching they found
him hiding in a gulley about a mile from where
he had left HIS team. He threw himself at the
feet of the men and begged for mercy, fearing
that he would get a whipping for having run
from them When he was told that they only
wanted him 10 sign contract turning his to-
bacco over TO certain warehouse company he
readily affixed his signature 10 the paper and
said he would never sell TO the trust unless the
association showed its willingness.
majority of the men who rode over Daviess
parts and were from adjoining counties one
of the riders requested that "a squad OF
vicious looking men be sent with HIM TO see a
grower who had always refused to Join the
soCiatOn and had said he would never pool his
tobacco. A squad" called at the home OF one
of the most prominent farmers Of DGviess
County This farmer raises only small crup
of tobacco. He had failed TO pool his crop, and
II Is said he had boasted that he did not care
pool it, he believed 1t was every mans
right TO sell or buy wherever ne pleased. He
told the riding delegates that after they had
fought the trust persistently for the last
few years he did not think II manly in them
going 10 the trust houses at the present day
and asking them 10 withdraw all competition
This farmer stated that the farmers OF DaviesS
County could not get any insurance their
tobacco and must either pool prepare 10 de-
fend their property themselves. and many OF
them needed the money their crop would bring
as soon as marketed. Those delegates" he
said talk very fair and nice. but when they
run up against a man fearless enough to tell
them he will not pool their ultimatum is The
people OF Hancock will not stand the people or
Daviess County selling this new crop till they
have got rid Of their old. and II the people OF
Daviess will not pool will make them 1t
is not our fault that they did not sell before or
put UP their tobacco unsuitable TO buyers"

GREET BELASCO
BRIDE AND GROOM
HEARTY RECEPTION TO LOUIS
STONE AND HIS WIFE e.
No Flowers Nor Rice, but Many Re-
calls and Much MerrIment-"The
Dictator" Well Done--James
o'Nell In Biblical Play

1t was "hail the bride" when Mar
garet Langham made her appearance
in the second act of THE Dictator" at
the Belasco last night It had already
been hail the groom" and her hus-
band Louis S. stone, hluched beneath
his grease paint and had bowed in an
awkward manner quite foreign to his
usual suavity and grace.
But hearty as was his reception
from his host Of admirers it was Moth
ing like as generous as was that ac-
corded his bride. which is perfectly
natural. The matinee girls will get a
chance at Stone Thursday. She, dain-
ty and very fetching i'm her Spanish
garb was greeted with rounds of hand
claps and even subducd cheers, as she
bounded on the stage with dagger in
hand for the Staying of her newly
acquired worser half. She bowed and
smiled and bowed again but still the
applause kept up. Several times she
essayed to go on with her lines. but
each attempt brought a fresh outbreak.
1t was really some minutes before
quiet enough was secured to make her
voice audible.
Even then, though there were no
flowers, no rice and no favors thrown
on the stage, every reference to mar
riage and the welded state and any
slurs made by one of the couple against
the other-which the play frequently
demanded-was the signal for a fresh
outburst of laughter. Altogether it
was quite a pleasant little party and
both Mr.. and Mrs. Stone should feel
very happy over the heartiness of their
greeting.
"The Dictator" was done by the Be
lasco company about a year ago, but
it wasn't done so well then, good as
it was, as was the case last night. The
cast is much stronger now. Mr.. Stone
as Brooks TraVers is inimitable; no
one suspected the strong comedy vein
in his nature; he is perfectly at ease
as a funmaker and he has a droll, dry
way that is irresistible. Ernest Glen
dening as his valet is excellent, and
Harry Glazier as the real detective is
so good q burlesque of many leaden-
footed sleuths right here at home that
one suspects that he has been taking
lessons at first hands. Dick Vivian
gives a finished rendition of the blase
wireless operator, which is artistic in
the extreme. and William Yerances
depletion of Col. Bowie is fine. Lee
Beggs makes Campos the typical Cen
tral American tYrant and Howard
Scott as Bostwick. the missionary,
could hardly have been improved upon,
while the minor parts We're all that
one would ask.
Marion Berg is the newcomer among
the women, and barring tendency
to giggle, she interpreted the role of
Lucy Sheridan satisfactorily, While
Mary Graham as Mrs. Bowie makes
the best of small opportunity. OF
course Miss Langham as Juanita was
splendid: that was expected.
The comedy is given throughout with
all the fine touches and bits of artis-
try that have made the Belasco or
eanization famous and is as well done
in its way as anything the company
has presented in a long time.

HOLLYWOOD'S NOSE
IS Up IN THE AIR
CLOTHES BURIED IN BACK
YARDS
Theatereoers on Street Car Encounter
Little Mephitis Which Objects
to Being Run over by
Rude Vehicle

1t wasn't a funeral car, although it
had a resemblance to a dead one and
an awfully ripe dead one at that, that
was shunted onto the lonelest, most
isolated rip track of the Los Angeles
Pacific system at Sherman last night.
1t was one of the best cars that ply
between this city and Hollywood. But
there was something the matter with
it. Anyone could have told that with
a clothespin on his nose.
The car was run onto the repair
track as fast as the power could take
it. The motorman was anxious to get
off. His conductor had basely deserted
his post long before, preferring to
walk several miles rather than ride in
that particular vehicle. And when it
was finally run out to the farthest end
the job of cleaning it.
All this was brought about because
little Mephistis indiscreetly placed
himself on the track in front of the
car last night as it was bearing some
of the swellest citizens of Hollywood
to the local theaters. The car ran
over the little animal and killed it in
stantly but how its soul, in skunk
heaven must rejoice.
There WAS IlO ulOlt lHedltG LOT IHe
passengers after that. Some of them
were so ashamed of themselves that
they walked all the way back home
Others braved the disgust of the less
unfortunate and took the next car
home, but all got home some way and
mighty quick. too,
In the back yards of aristocratic
Hollywood there are mounds of newly
turned earth that in their silent elo-
quence speak volumes of pathos They
mutely tell how a brave man stood in the
farthest corner of his lot last night
and trusting only to the gracious pail
that overcast the tale-tell stars, di-
vested himself of his raiment while the
chill night air pierced to his very mar
row and how, when the last sock had
been thrown in the alley he dashed into
the back door and up the back stairs,
while his dress suit lay neglected in the
mud to be covered with earth this
morning.
And the wan, pale moon could tell
of furbelowed beauty similarly situ-
ated, that shrieked with horror as a
rift in the clouds gave the shimmering
stars chance to peek.
But some of these mounds cover
party gowns that would have graced
a box at one of the theaters last night.

Closer tab is being kept by city of
ficials on the actual work of incinerat-
ing or processing" dead animals.
The three-CornCred arrangement by
which the health department condemns
bad meat, for instance. orders II sent
to the Crematory. then depends on the
police department to check IL off, and
in the end the city is compelled to pay
for the hauling of the stuff to some pri-
vate fertilizing plant, will come to an
end.
Hundreds of dollars are spent month
ly for Carting away condemned meat
and dead dogs, cats and horses. where
as all of the fertilizing concerns will
gladly pay a premium for this stuff
for its value commercially to the
plants.
A few days ago the finance commit
tee discovered on scrutinizing the po-
lice reports on dead animal collections
that dogs and cats were dying at an
alarming rate. The canine and feline
population of the city would soon be
nil at the rate the contractors blanks
showed. AS this did not seem probable
a new form of checking will be adopt
ed, and If necessary the ears and tails
of the cats and dogs may be demanded
as proof that all their nine lives are
ended.
The contracts have been transferred
several times until they are now con-
trolled by a fertilizing plant in the
northwestern section of the city, and
the revenue from this source is highly
profitable.
Future auditing will cut out this
snap, councilmen say.

D|CEST|NC CAS-,
OIL AND BOOZE
COUNCIL HAS HARD WEEKS
WORK LAID OUT
Members Decide to Resolve Them
selves Into Committee of the
Whole to Discuss Vexa-
tious Question

The committee of the whole of the
council will have much to do this
week-three important problems hav-
ing been referred to that section of
the solons' assembly yesterday.
These committee sessions are held
behind closed doors and give the mem
bers of the council an opportunity to
air their views without the general
public knowing what they are.
The first question referred yesterday
was the grievance of petitioners who
have complaints against the Los An"
gees Gas company.
Councilman Wren suggested that
these go to the committee of the whole,
since the gas inquiry, as suggested by
the first message Of Mayor Harper,
was to be taken up in that quarter.
The second action was in regard to
the petition of the Auto Dealers asso-
citation for permission to sell liquors
at their show to be held the week of
January 20 at 920 South Grand ave-
nue.. The ordinance came from City
Clerk Lelande's office and specified
SIS as the fee for the privilege. Min
ute Clerk David Carroll called atten-
ton to the fact that 500 should he the
amount specified.
The third reference was in regard to
the application of the Garbutt inter-
ests, which control the Iona Oil COM
pany. for permission to install an eight
inch oil pipe line as mentioned several
days ago. 1t is declared that this line
will connect the different branches OF
the Gsrbutt company, but others say
eventually oil will be piped through the
new tunnels and subways of the Har-
riman interests, these pipes being a
source of revenue in the tunnel enter
prise.
There will be more than one meeting
of the committee this week, as so much
data of various kinds has come ur
that all of theEcouncilmen come to the
city hall daily and it Is an easy thing
to get full membership of the coun-
ell, or at least a working majority
almost any afternoon
