THE fifth event of the Polytechnic
entertainment course will be given
In the auditorium of the Polytech-
mic high school tonight at o'clock.
The entertainment will be a play rem
dered by the members of the schools
dramatic society under the direction
of Miss Butt of the Cumnock school
of expression. The play, which is
Shakespeare's Twelfth Night or What
You WILL" Is very difficult, but the
students handle it with wonderful tall
ent and will undoubtedly make it a
good success.
Owing to a misunderstanding be-
tween the president of the dramatic
society, Houston l.. Walsh and the
Polytechnic board of control the play
will have to be produced without the
use of new setting. Mr.. Walsh's in
fluence in the local theaters made it
possible for the school to procure
scenes at small cost, but the matter
was taken up by the board, who were
not successful in obtaining what they
desired for the play. AT present the
school has two settings, an indoor and
garden scene, which can be set to give
very different effects by slight
changes. With the omission of several
of the unimportant scenes in the play,
the scenery will be sufficient to give
the play a good effect.
Modern furniture will be used in the
indoor scenes but draped with tassels
and finery will answer the desired pur-
pose of expensive ancient properties.
Sends for Costumes
1t was found impossible to procure
a set of Twelfth Night" costumes in
Los Angeles, and the school was put
to the expense of having to send to
San Francisco for them. They arrived
in time for a dress rehearsal
Wednesday afternoon, but most of the
time during the rehearsal the students
were kept busy adjusting and fitting
the costumes originally intended for
people twice their size. With this ex-
ception the rehearsal was an eXcep-
tionally good one The students dis
played fine talent and went through
the scenes with much grace and ease.
Paul Frampton will have charge of
the scene shifting and electric lighting.
He will be assisted by several other
members of the school.
The members in the cast have taken
a great interest in their work, many
of them coming to the school during
the two weeks vacation at Christmas
for rehearsals. Their good attention
as well as their own enthusiasm at the
rehearsals has gone a long way to
make the production marked success.
j. II. Frances, principal of Polytech-
mic, and Miss Kate Smith, head of the
schools English department, expressed
much surprise at the way the young

Holds Up Prospective
Liquor Permit

Through the efforts of the Church
Federation the city council, Mayor
Harper and all other Interested city Of
ficials were enjoined from issuing a
special liquor license to Ascot park
yesterday.
The injunction was granted by Judge
Conrey to Anderson & Anderson, at
torneys for the federation
Though Mayor Harper signed the AS
cot special liquor license bill while the
attorney for the objectors was waiting
in an ante room 1t was unavailing in
carrying out the spirit Of the agree
ment made by citizens and the Ascot
representatives.
The injunction was also served on
City Clerk Lelande and thus publica-
tion of the ordinance was prevented,
thereby rendering the license void for
the time being.
No liquor can now be sold until the
case is heard next week.
City Clerk Lelande was asked late
Wednesday afternoon Immediately
after passage to sign the ordinance but
for some reason he seemed Indifferent
and said he supposed he would sign 1t
in the morning with other papers"
This gave the opponents of the license
plenty OF opportunity to act.
While Attorney Anderson was wait
ing for chance to get the mayor

tried for pernicious activity. Hill is
driver for engine company II on Santa
Fe avenue. He had just been recon-

antcy at certain engine house.
Schwamm Indignantly took the letter

severe lecture behind closed doors

Radiated Magnetism in Cure Of ParaIy,i,

10 this force is attributed the cure of
the two-and- a-half-year-old son of James
Elmsdorf, who, at the acc of eighteen
months, became a victim of infantile
paralysis. Tee left side of the body and
both legs from the hips down were rar-
alyzed.
A few weeks ago the child received
the first of daily treatments with the
Bachelet generators.
After the first week there was steady
improvement and now the parents re-
port that the withered little legs are
rounding out again, the evidences OF
paralysis growing less and less.

ppOpiS dlC IliIullIR I1e play. InC
board of control Is furnishing all the
money for expenses and expects to
make good profit out of the affair.
Characters Well Acted
Miss Ruth Miller in the part of
Viola will do credit to the play Dur
ing the whole of the play she II dressed
as boy, posing as Cesario, and her
real identity is not disclosed till the
end of the play. Her voice is strong
and clear, making her exceptionally
fitted for the difficult part, and her
personal talent will undoubtedly in
fluence the whole cast.
Miss Marie Lanx as Maria has done
wonders with her part Quick and
active from the time she enters till
she leaves the stage, full of wit and
overlooking with mischief, she will
surely bring peals of laughter from
her audience Friday evening Her
team work with the other characters
will do much to bind the cast together
and her general good acting puts a
polished finish to her endeavors.
The pretentious Malvalio, who would
be duke of the kingdom and the dig
nified master of his mistress, is well
characterized by Everett Charlton. BY
his misplaced sincerity he is trapped
by his fellows. his great grief and sad
misfortune is the foundation of all the
comedy in the play, and Charlton sees
that the comedy is brought out.
Rolling on and off the stage in
drunken brawls has distinguished
Arthur Coover in his part of Sir Toby
Belch, and running on and off after
him keeps Houston Walsh, as Sir An
drew, quite busy. Coover is built for
his part, being short and stout and
likewise Walsh much taller makes
good contrast beside him. They do
good team work but make a great
fizzle of fencing.
The part of the Lady Olivia is
taken by Addie Judy. She is tall and
graceful girl, well suited for the part,
and she gives very fine support to the
love plot in the play.
Plot of Play
The plot of Twelfth Night" hinges
upon the actions of the duke Of Illyria,
and this important character is i'm
personated by Clarence Jay. In the
last part of the third act the crisis
of the play is reached, and during that
time Jay portrays the fierce anger of
the duke in very surprising manner
that will do him credit tonight
Harry Walshe as Sebastian and
George Chenoweth as Antonio do very
good work together. They fit in we'll
with the other characters in the cast
and will do much to bring out the plot.
La Vern Dawson as Fabian and Or
vile Howland as Feste, the clown, do
the comedy work. Both are very ac-
tive and their witty jests should be
sufficient to make the dullest person
laugh. Rowland will make a splendid
success of the different songs that
come in his part.
The other characters have not very
large speaking parts. but their acting
is worthy of good comment. Without
doubt the whole production will go off
with much spirit, and a large audience
is assured by the rapid advance sale
of tickets.
The program will be as follows:

y. H. Milholland, a civil engineer for
the railroad company, testified that he
placed a $4,000 certified check in a
safe deposit box. which was to be Civ

And Not Says Senator Foraker In British
PreCedentS
Whatever Authority May Lie In the Commander
In-Chief of the British rmy Does Not Extend
Across the Atlantic.

Washington, Jan. President Roose-
velt's dismissal of the negro troops was
again the subject of contention in the
senate today and the indications point
to a protracted debate before any of
the pending resolutions on the subject
are voted on. Senator Lodge developed
new phase Of the question by pre-
senting a resolution providing for an in
vestigation of the "Affray" at Browns
Vile This action was supported by Mr.
Lodge in an address and was opposed
by Mr.. Foraker who followed and spoke
until $50 o'clock, giving notice then
that he would conclude tomorrow.
Previous to this debate the senate
listened to a two-hour address on the
japanese question by Senator Gearin
who argued for the resolution directing
the opening of negotiations with Japan
for a revision of our treaty.
Mr.. Foraker in reviewing Mr.. Lodges
objection to the Foraker resolution in
the senate today declared that the mat
ter involved two questions. one Of the
facts of the affray at Brownsville, and
the other the presidents authority.
Mr.. Foyaker said he was opposed TO
Mr.. Lodges position on both questions.
Mr.. Foraker denied that the power Of
the president was deduced from what
was the power Of the commander-in-
chief OF the British army. 1t was de-
duced from the constitution of the
United States. The power of the pres
ident derived from ccDgreS- is his IePa

ments by Cardinal Gibbons in a Re

Baltimore. Jan. Since Cardinal
Gibbons issued a statement on Decem-
Der 18Th regarding the church troubles
in France he has received many in
quiries asking for authority as to his
quotations from the public utterances
Of NJ BRAND. the French minister OF
public worship.
The cardinal credited NJ. BRAND as
stating: THE time has come to root
up from the minds of French children
the ancient faith which has served Its
purpose. and replace it with the light
of free thought. 1t is time To get rid
Of the Christian idea. We have hunted
Jesus Christ out OF the army. the navy,
the schools. the hospitals, the insane
and orphan asylums. the law courts,
and now we must hunt him out of the
state altogether"
Premier Clemenceau has denied on
the authority Of NJ. BRAND that the
latter as minister ever delivered any
such statement as given in the,secOnd
sentence Of the foregoing eXscript.
Cardinal Gibbons stated today that the
quotations were taken from the Lon
don Saturday Review.

Statement On Behalf of the Mayor Refecting

a Defer of Courts.

New York, Jan. Attorney General
Jackson today entered suit in the su-
preme court against Mayor Mcclellan,
praying that the latter be ousted from
the office of mayor on the ground that
he usurped the Office, whereas W. r.
Hearst is entitled to the same. 1t is

Mcclellan.
Z. l. Richards, Jr.. Of Mayor Nc
Cleilan's counsel has issued a state

declares that the mayor is justified in
hesitating to submit his rights to an

temptuous of the law"
In the orderly course justice" says
the statement, lit had been determined
that the suit against Mayor Mcclellan
to test the title to the office ought not
in reason and justice to be brought.
This decision was arrived at by the
republican attorney general.
