INDIGNANTLY DENIED.
Deputy Director Of Engraving Bureau
Comments on Rumor.

Recently one or two petty thefts have oc-
CURED at the bureau of printing and en-
craving. These, according to Deputy Di-
rector Ralph, have been due to the careless
ness of employees who have left property
lying about where 1t might be picked up
by the first conner. Each employee is pro-
vided with locker fitted with a Yale lock-
and it has been the practice of many of the
workers to leave these lockers open. Mr.
Ralph has issued an order that henceforth
they must be kept locked. He says that
among SO many employees it is likely that
there are a few dishonest individuals, but
he Indignantly denies that there is car
nival of crime at the bureau.
1t is proposed to install machines for
printing revenue stamps some time in the
distant future, but this, Mr.. Ralph says
will not lessen the number of employees. 1t
will merely enable the bureau to meet the
increased demand for stamps, and will
diminish the overtime work

Maryland Digs, young colored boy who
ran errands for officers at the recent Ma
tionaI Guard camp at Harpers Ferry, decid-
ed yesterday to speculate in revolvers. but
he found that 1t was an expensive business,
and that the profits were on the wrong side
of the ledger.
While at Harpers Ferry Diggs purchased
a revolver for 30 cents and brought the
gun to Washington. Yesterday he went to
r street near the Center Market and offered
it for sale for 81. He had already figured
out how he would spend the profits. But
Special Off1cer Fielder Reilly and Detective
Watson of the first precinct learned what
Digs stock in trade was and they arrested
the youth.
The law says you can't have a concealed
gun on the street, even to SELL" Judge KIM
ball told Diggs, and his honor imposed a
fine of $50, with thirty days Imprisonment
In default.

DELEGATES PLEASED WITH YER
DICT OF BOISE JURY.

That the verdict of the Boise jury was
popular with the delegates at the meeting
Of the Washington Central Labor Union
last evening in Typographical Temple was
evidenced by the rousing cheers that greet
ed the reading by Secretary Sam DeNedrey
Of resolutions introduced by Delegate
Rodier of the Typographical Union, setting
forth that the secretary of the Central La
Dor Union be instructed to send a telegram
Of congratulation to William D. Haywood,
secretary-treasurer of the Western Fedora
ton of Miners, upon his escape from the
plot of the Mine Owners Association to as
sassinate him through the formalities Of the
law"
Other resolutions were also read, intro
duced by Delegate Roberts. along the same
lines only providing that the congratula-
tons go to Haywoods mother instead, were
referred to the resolutions committee. The
resolution quoted was unanimously adopted.
followed by cheers by both delegates and
visitors.
Delegate w. W. Beattie Of the CONNER
cial Telegraphers also introduced a resou-
ton, which was adopted, though not with
out opposition. and ordered sent to Pres
ident Roosevelt. 1t was to the effect that
as Senator Borah of Idaho is now under In
dictment for completely in the timber land
frauds against the United States govern
ment; De II
Resolved. That the Central Labor Union
petition and request the President of the
United States to require or permit the At
torney General to issue an order for arrest
in such cases, and provide speedy trial,
that the stigma Of Indictment may be re-
moved from the name Of senator Of the
United States and that he may prove
whether he Is a desirable citizen or not"
An echo OF the recent Jurisdiction fight
between the Brewery Workmen, Engineers,
F1remen and Transfers was heard when the
secretary was asked II he had received no.
tice from the American Federation of La
Dor that the Brewery Workers had been
expelled from that body. The secretary an
swered in the negative and motion was
made instructing him to secure the informa-
ton officially from Secretary Frank Morri-
son. Discussion for and against the motion
developed strong opposition to 1t, and on
vote the proposition was defeated. Such
means that the lease OF life Of the Brewery
Workers of Washington in the Central La
Dor Union has been extended indefinitely.

pointed to take up the building trades al
legged lockout troubles reported that every
thing is in readiness for the conference to

THE THEAT E R.
Belasco.

"Zaza." adapted by David Belasco from
the French of Berton and Simon, and
which was presented to a crowded house
at the Belasco last night, marked an epoch
in the history Of summer stock company in
Washington and inaugurated by far the
most important weeks offering Of the
present summer season at this house. To
produce play Of such a character at all
satisfactorily with the limited facilities
necessarily available during a, supple
mental season Is an achievement Of no
small import. AS presented by Charlotte
Walker and her capable supporting COM
pany last night it was little short of COM
plete art. From the rise Of the curtain
until the close, at nearly midnight the
episodes OF the remarkable play were I'M
folded In manner to reflect the highest
credit on all and held the wrapt attention
Of the audience every moment Of the time.
To Miss Walker. as Zaza, the occasion
was momentous. In way 1t was her first
real stellar appearance and In a role of the
most exacting requirements. That she real
lied the significance of her position was
evident, and that she succeeded in impart-
ing to her work those indefnable touches
which are distinctively the marks of the
real artist there can be Do question.
Zaza, the concert hall singer. street
wait. raised by bibulous aunt and thrown
sphere of a popular chanteuse, a careless,
heart-free, whole-souled creature. A child
OF whim, she loves and is happy with the
man upon whom she lavishes her untu-
tored affections. For six months 1t lasts.
Then she learns Of his position in society,
Of his wife and child. It is the lioness
robbed Of her whelp. She must give him
up. In the end she resumes her stage
fined and beautiful, by suffering and self
abasement.
Zaza the singer is study in complexity,
ever shifting from light to shade, and from
breathing zephyr to raging storm: human
equinox" In none of the requirements of
the role was Miss Walker found wanting,
and in all the exacting climaxes Of the play
gave indisputable evidence Of the strength
Of the foundation on which she has to
build her future success.
Edward Ellis as Cascart Zaza's singing
partner, was thoroughly at home in the
part. Sydney Mathe, as Bernard Dufrene,
was thoroughly at home in the part and
added materially to the good impression
he has already created by his previous
good work. Samuel Klawans, as the Due
de Brissac, was excellent in a minor part
and gave further evidence that he is on the
right track. Alice Butler, as Aunt Rosa.
exhibited the touch Of real nature and
made a decided hit
Miss Huxford, Fannie Hartz and Rosetta
Brice filled their respective roles most ac-
ceptably, and especially notable was the
work of little Catherine Hayden as Toto
Dufrene.
Miss Walker was repeatedly called be-
fore the curtain and was literally over
whelmed with flowers.
Patrons of the Belasco will be highly
pleased to learn that the management will
present Lady Windermere's Fan" as next
weeks offering by the stock company.
This is delightful comedy drama in which
Miss Walker will have ample opportunity
to demonstrate her versatility and his
trionic talent.

AS TO OVERHEAD WIRES
PROGRESS OF REMOVAL MOVE
MENT THE PAST FISCAL YEAR.

Commissioner mcfarland stated today
the last fiscal year N the removal Of poles
and wires from the streets under the policy
OF the Commissioners to put all electrical
wires underground. Commissioner Macfar-
land, who has direct supervision OF this
matter and who has been pressing the work
since he become Commissioner, obtained
from w. c. Allen. electrical engineer. a
statement Of the last years results. which
showed that the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company, the Western Union
Telegraph Company, and the Potomac Elec-
trio Power Company, besides the District
government, removed poles and wires from
the streets to a greater extent than had
been anticipated.
The Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company took down the largest amount
and did much work outside OF the area
prescribed by act Of Congress for the re-
moval Of poles and wires from the streets.
1t had already SO largely completed the
work within the prescribed area that last
year 1t removed only three poles and TWEEN
ty-three miles of wire inside the prescribed
area, while 1t removed lit poles and 214
miles Of wire outside the prescribed area
Only forty telephone poles remain on the
be removed as soon as rights of way on
adjoining property can be obtained, which
1t is hoped will be within the present year.
The Western Union Telegraph Company
has removed seventeen lines and six guy
poles and 256 miles of wire, and the Po-
tomac Electric Power Company two and a
half miles Of wire from poles belonging to
the Western Union Telegraph Company.
Commendable Spirit.
Commissioner mcfarland said that the
spirit shown by these corporations in this
work during the past few years was most
commendable.
AS to the only other private corporation
having poles and wires on the streets, he
said that 1t had removed no poles and wires.
although since January, 1904, the company
had been promising early action In that
direction Reasons were given which seemed
to Indicate that the work would be done
soon, but as 1t had been delayed so long
and during the past year no apparent effort
had been made to do the work, Commission
er Macfarland has asked. the Commissioners
to direct the company to remove all their
poles and wires from the public streets and
alleys within the fire limits of the District
of Columbia within ninety days, the course
which can be taken by the Commissioners
under the law, and the Commissioners have
approved the recommendation.
