Another Republican idol seems; to be
in need of coat of white-wash if the
report is correct in the Washington
Post, which says: 49t 30 2fls
1.-THE attack made by Judge Green
OF the Fifteenth Iowa judicial circuit.
on Speaker Cannon the other day has
attracted some attention at the Capt.
tol. In an open statement Judge Green
fatty accused Uncle Joe of aceptine
money from the whisky people to pre-
vent the reporting of the Hepburn-Dol-
liver bill. which gives to each State
the power to control its own whisky
traffic, from the House Judiciary Com
mittee.". 2 is- f0i52'fA
What makes the matter look serious
Is that Speaker Cannon refuses to allow
the charges to be investigated by the
House and evidently intends to ignore
the scandal. One of the Representa-
tives who was especially incensed at
Judge Green's attack upon Speaker
Cannon suggested that as the Hep
burn-Dolilve" bill was reported from
the Judiciary Committee yesterday,
will not Judge Green think that it
was due to his attack on the Speaker. .
When will these constant tales of
grating and frauds by Republican Off
Gals be ended, for no Administration
has been so prolific of scandals as the
present one-turn the rascals out.

to picture with such facile pen the
peculiarities and oddities of the village

The story of the play, has as its cen
trail figure, Jim Hacker, the county
chairman, who dominates every scene
with his rugged presence He is the
past master Of all the ms and outs OF

helps in the development Of the pretty
love story that perovades the piece. AS
the "Hon. Jim Hacker" Theodore

is out of the ordinary, and his charac-

tistic. Another character study re-
plete with genuine humor is the mint

George Ade'. "The College Widow

George AIDES "The College Widow
Given Before Large Audience at the
Odeon.
The much talked-of comedy, "The
College Widow" from the pen of
George AIDE, short story writer. lib
rettist and playwright, was seen at the
odeon Saturday night for the first time
by an audience that practically filled
the capacity Of the house. This great
American college play, as "The College
Widow" has been termed, scored dis
tinct triumph and there wasn't col
lege man or woman in the house but
who was carried back to the days Of
his alma mater, and again lived, for a
few hours, the good old days.
Mr.. AIDE has worked into his play a
series Of character studies, aside from
portraying the different types of the
student body, and the result is refresh
ing. The company is notable for Its
young people, and Henry w. Savage,
who is producing Mr.. AIDES success,
carries out his usual custom Of pick
ing up "unknowns" and presenting ar
lists. The play is really without stars,
and at the same time without weak
spots. 1t is also without plot, and yet
there is a keen interest that is main
tanned turnout.
The thread of the story, which might
be termed a plot, is centered about a
foot ball game between Atwater and
Bingham, two imaginary colleges, "east
Of Minnesota and west of New York"
TheN college widow is the daughter OF
the president of Atwater, and bears the
reputation of accomplishing what her
mind sets out to do. Atwater wants
half back, and Billy" Bolton, from
Minnesota, bound for Bingham to take
up his fourth year. as freshman, is
wanted by Atwater. Jane Witherspoon,
the widow, decides to land him for At
water, and Bolton proves an easy vic
tim. Before Bolton arrives, his father.
q railway president, who endows Bing-
ham, a Baptist school as can Only a
Rockefeller, offers a $1,000 wager with
Atwater students as to the outcome of
the approaching Thanksgiving game.
banking on his son being a member of
the Bingham squad.
The elder Bolton leaves for Europe,
learns of his son being at Atwater in
stead of Bingham, thru the newspapers,
and reaches Atwater while the big
game is in progress. Students kidnap
him and keep him engaged" until the
game is over. Atwater wins by one
point thru Bottoms great run, and "the
college widow" herself capitulates to
the half back.
Miss Erma LaPierre was charming
in the title role. and was delightfully."-

Marshall Lodge, No 312, Benevolent
and Protective Order of Elks, and Mar
shalltown Aerie, No. BAL. Fraternal Or
der of Eagles, were under investigation
by the grand jury Saturday afternoon,
and there is more than a possibility
that the investigation, so far as the
Eagles lodge is concerned, is not yet
ended. The keeping and the sale of
Intoxicating liquors by both lodges was
the cause of the inquiry.
To date the result is that the Elks,
thru a representative, have promised
to discontinue the sale, and the grand
jury will continue no further. The SELL
ing of liquor was denied by the Eagle
who represented the local aerie, and it
is said, on good authority, that the in
vestigation will continue by the grand
jury Tuesday.
The prospects OF any investigation
was the influence which brought q
member of both lodges before the grand
jury without the formality of being
subpoenaed. The Elks stated before
the grand jury that he represented the
trustees of the lodge, and that meet
ing of that body had been held, and he
was authorized to speak. He said that
no liquors had been sold In the lodge
rooms for forty-eight hours previous
to the time he was speaking, and that
II the grand jury objected he would as
sure its members that the practice
would be discontinued.
This assurance was entirely salts
factory to the grand jury, and on the
promise that investigation has ended.
1t was not the purpose of the grand
jury to create a sensation, provided 1t
had assurances that the sale OF liquor
would cease.
An officer of the Eagles likewise APP
peared. He stated that no liquor was
sold in the club rooms by the lodge
and, that whatever liquor was drunk
there was brought into the lodge rooms
by individual mem bers. He was dis
inclined to take steps to call the gov

1t is learned from authentic sources
that this investigation had its origin
with members of the grand jury be-
cause of complaints which had come
from towns of the county. These COM
plants We're, in substance, that move
ment was on foot to form social club,
which would keep liquor on tap in
one Of the towns of the county, upon
the superstition that it would be given
the same protection which was afforded
the Elks and Eagles Of this city.

MARsHALLTowN OVERWHELMED
Basket Ball Boys Beaten II 20 80 at
Cedar Rapids Saturday.

1906r RAPIDS saturday,
The Marshalltown high school bas-
ket ball team was literally overwhelmed
in its game at Cedar Rapids Saturday
afternoon, meeting defeat by the score
Of 72 to so. The Republican of Sun
day morning tells the following story
OF the, game:
Cedar Rapids high school now holds
the state basket ball championship. The
local team was defeated at Marshall
town March 18th by two points. and
to retaliate they defeated Marshall
town by forty-tw points. The game
was an exciting one, and a great deal
of enthusiasm was shown by the
large audience which kept the high
school yells going all the time. 81
audience was composed of true sports
men, for instead of kissing the visiting
team, as did Marshalltown. they APP
plauded the good plays Of both sides
with equal vigor.
"Of the visiting team, Kirk, ait center,
played the best game, distinguishing
himself by keeping in the way Of
the BALL Blatherwick threw the
greatest number of baskets. but he
did not seem to be in the game as
much as he ought to have been.
''The whole Cedar Rapids team out
classed their opponents at every point.
Most of the credit is due to Stark,
Luberger, and Henecks. Stark threw
thirteen baskets and further distin
guished himself by his cool-headed-
ness. Luberger, at guard. threw ten
baskets and did some guarding that
has not been equalled on the Y. M.
c.. A. floor for some time. Captain
Henecks played his cool. steady game,
and stuck to his man like grim death
to a cat.
"The first half Of the game was very
exciting, but after the Cedar Rapids
boys got warmed up they out-played
their opponents to such an extent that
no comparison can be shown between
them. In the second half the local
team steadily outplayed Marshalltown.
and when the whistle blew the Rab-

the fourth consecutive time.
