the great care that had been given
TO the selection of this organization.
Miss Jane Remark, the leading lady
OF the company, never appeared TO
better advantage than on this occa-

ner work OF the evening must have
made her realize she was meeting the
approval OF her many friends present
Frank l.. Sylvester as Capt. Jack

chance to display his fine ability as
an actor. He was most enthusias-
tically received and several times dur.

acknowledge his deserved applause.
All the other members OF the COM

creditable manner, and the perform
ance was given with a smoothness
that is rarely seen on the opening
night. The production was finely
mounted and the work OF the Bos-
tonia orchestra was a fine treat to
the large audience present. Mana
ger G w. T. Goding should be con-
graduated for giving the public such
a capable company of players.

ASSISTANT y. S. DISTRICT AT
ToRNEY NEEDED BY DEPART
MENT OF JUsTlcE-HE WAS
/ WANTED FOR THE HARVESTER
TRUST INVESTIGATION.

Washington, May 30 - The depart
ment of justice has once more recog-
Tlized the legal profession of the north
west, and yesterday afternoon the an
nouncement was made that Assistant
United States District Attorney B. ID.
Townsend of Fargo, N. D.. had been
selected to probe certain land grants
held by the Southern Pacific Railway
Co. in Oregon, under grants to the
railroad company which have been alb
sorbed by the Hartman system.
For some time past the department
has seriously considered the advisa-
bility of pushing a prosecution in the
Southern Pacific cases, following pre-
liminary report made by Nathan ".
Harlan, United States attorney for the
third division OF Alaska. who has been
engaged in an investigation during his
absence from his post on account of i'll
health. The government now desires
Attorney Townsend TO take charge of
the investigation.
In connection with yesterdays an
nouncement at the department OF jus
tice, it became known that the gov
ernment has been seeking Mr. Town
sends services for some time, and that
he was rendered the job of probing the
International Harvester trust, about
two months ago, congress at its last
session having ordered an inyestiga-
tion Of this corporation on a resolution
offered together with considerable val
liable evidence. by Senator H.
G. Hansbrough of North Dakota. 1t
was learned today that Mr.. Townsend
had declined the offer to probe the har-
vester company because of other duties
that claimed his attention at that time.
1t will probably be three or four
days before the department receives a
reply from the North Dakota lawyer,
as to his availability to push the
Southern Pacific investigation.
