EGGS TO DEFEND CARUso.
Italians Put Stop to a Gotham
Parody

NEW YORK, January 2-Unfortunately
for Signor Caruso, he must see his name in
newspaper print again outside of the col
umns set aside for the use of the music
critics.
Nicholas De Tenadi Of 3O2 East 111th
street took occasion to resent a slight on
the tenor at the Gotham Theater Thursday
night, through the medium of antiquated
eggs. The alleged slight consisted of a
one-act thriller named "Skiddooso, Par
ody on Caruso.' in which one Benjamin
Gerard assumed the leading role.
Noting with Indignation the posters of
'Skiddooso, Signor Tenadi stirred resent
ment in the souls of a score or more of his
felow-residents of Little Italy, The
party repaired to the uppermost~ gallery
of the Gotham, each armed with a bag of
eggs which had been OverlonS in storage
and thereby rendered of no commercial
value.
With an outburst Of inharmonous sounds
from the orchestra, supposed to depict in
tonal colors potpourri of grand operate
airs with background of siman staccato,
the curtain was raised, revealing a scenic
representation of the monkey house in Cen
trail Park, with numerous papiermache
apes surrounding one terrified original
Benjamin Gerard. in long, fuzzy hair,
fur coat and high hat entered from the
left center and began to act in manner
supposedly Carusoistic. Several chorus

made believe they did not like it. There
were no further developments-at least SO
far as the parody on the tenor con-
cerned.
''Biup!'
The countenance of the actor suddenly
turned yellow. He gasped-and then once
more ''Blup!' He fed from the stage, his
face dripping with embryonic omelet.
Then there followed a broadside OF
"Blups." until the floor of the stage
was covered with undeveloped fowl. The
bald spot on the head of the leader of the
orchestra proved to be too good a target.
The cernet players top note was cut short
by stray egg that descended into his in
strument.
The band stopped. There was uproar
throughout the house Special Omcer
Chapman hustled to the gallery, after
sending a hurry call to the East 126tn
street station. AS Chapman descended to
the front row he almost waded through a
stream of nauseous yellow. De Tenadi was
captured with right arm appraised. The re-
serves appeared in time to nave their new
supply.
Chapman and the reserves marched De
Tenadi off in triumph to prison. His fell
low champions of CaruSo escaped MagiS-
trate Wahle sympathized with the police
men in the Harlem court yesterday, and
then fined De Tenadi $40 He, not having
the cash. was locked up and unless Signor
Caruso can be prevailed upon to pay the
fine he will board at the city's expense for
ten days in the workhouse.

AFTER THEATRICAL TRUST.
Investigation of Charges of Restraint
Of Trade Conspiracy.

NEW YORK, January 1.-THE grand Jury
has started an investigation Of charge of
criminal conspiracy in restraint of trade
against the theatrical trust A number of
members of the so-caled trust were sub
poenaed to appear before the grand jury
yesterday, but nothing was done. All the
witnesses were resubpoenaed to appear next
Wednesday.
The charges against the theatrical syndi-
cate grew out of its troubles with David
Belasco. Not long ago John Doe proceed
ings against Klaw & Erlanger were brought
before Justice Wyatt. This was after Be
lasco had sued Klaw & Erlanger and asked
the court to decide that a partnership ex-
listed between him and the Erlanger firm in
the proceeds of THE Auctioneer," and a
counter suit had been brought by Joseph
Brooks, employed by the Erlangar firm,
against Relasco asking the court to decide
that Brooks was BelaSco's only partner in
the play. Belasco lost both suits but at the
trial of one of them his counsel, Samuel I'm
termyer, remarked that something more
serious than civil suit might develop out
of the controversy.
After Meyer w. Livingston, clerk for
Klaw & Erlanger, had been summoned in
the John Doe proceedings before Justice
Wyatt, counsel for the theatrical trust OBJ
tanned writ of prohibition restraining JUS
tfce Wyatt from going on will the pro-
ceedngS The case was carried to the
court of appeals, which held that a writ of
prohibition was not the proper remedy and
discussed at length certain improper phases
of John Doe proceedings, but not holding
that they were Illegal.
1t is understood that the belief in the dis
trict attorneys office is that there is a
strong case of conspiracy against the trust
The witnesses who were subpeenaed yester-
day were Al Hayman, the members of the
firA.l of Fisher & Ryley, Robert Young con-
fidential manager for Charles Frohman, and
George II. Nicolai of Stair & HaviIand
1t is known that the district attorneys
office has been Investigating the charges
against the trust for some time. In addi-
ton to the information brought out in the
Belasco suits it is understood that lot
of other evidence has been obtained.

CURTIS A SENATOR
REPRESENTATIVE CAMPBELL DE-
SERTED BY HIS ADVOCATES.

TOPEKA, Kans., January 12.-Cbarles
Curtis of the first congressional district
Shawnee county. was nominated for the
United States Senate last night by vote
which was never announced, there being
so many changes on the fourth ballot,
which did the work, that no attempt was
made to keep tally. However, when it was
found after many changes had been made
that Curtis needed only vote. Senator
Fitzpatrick of Chautauqua county caught
the speakers eye and said
Il understand that Mr. Curtis needs only
one vote to be nominated. l therefore
change my vote from Campbell to Curtis"
The nomination of Curtis was brought
about by the boiling of Representative
Campbel's strength to Curtis This was ex-
pected, because ever since the senatorial
discussion began it has been agreed that
the only fear the anti-Cur,is people had was
the vote of the Campbell adherents.
Other Candidates for the Office.
j. l.. Rr:stow, ex-fourth assistant Post
master General; Roscoe Stubbs, leader of
the square deal wing of the republican
party in Kansas; Senator Benson. who
was appointed to succeed Senator Burton
and Representatives Campbell and Murdoch
were the other prominent candidates
Bristow held his support fairly solid to the

Stubbs and Benson were never strong in
numbers.
Railway influence was the principal is
sue in the opposition to Curtis. his OPP
ponents declaring him to be an ally of the
railways.
Studied Law While Driving Cab.
Representative Curtis elevation to the
Senate is of interest in more ways than
one. 1t follows fourteen consecutive years
of servce/in the lower House of Congress.
Mr.. Curtis will be the first American In
dian who ever graced the halls of the
United States Senate. He is one of the
few remaining members of the Kaw tribe
of Indians, which is fast fading away.
Both Mr.. Curtis and his children re-
ceived allotments when the Indian lands
were parceled out by the government.
Mr.. Curtis is strictly a self-made man.
In his youth he was in turn a newsboy
on the streets of Topeka, peanut
''butcher,' horse jockey and cab driv-
er He gained a smattering of law by
/ hard study while driving hack, and was
afterward admitted to the bar. He was
soon elected county attorney, and later
sent to Congress mainly through the votes
of those who had been his patrons in
his youthful business ventures
He will begin a full six-year term on
March 4, which marks the expiration of
the brief service of Senator Benson, who
was appointed by the governor of Kansas
to fill out Burtons unexpired term

she found the Spaniard. He had slid
in the week before. They made up
and were about to be married when
the old lady came along and rescued
them with rope made Of bed
sheets. just as they reached the top
the Spaniard's foot slipped and up
set the old lady who fell into the
fssure rope and all. The happy
young couple had no way to fssure
out SO they went away. AS they
neared the seashore the Spaniard
scanned or scum the horison for a
vessel and suddenly shouted: "A
sail. A sail" Genevieve, thinking
he meant bargain sale, fell off the
mountain into the sea in her agita-
ton and her best clothes. The
Spaniard fshed her out and dried
her and they sat down to eat nice
basket of lunch which they had
brought with them. 1t was the first
iood they had tasted in SIX months.
They had been SO happy IN each
others company that they hadn't
thought of grub.
When the ship pulled up to the
shore Genevieve and the Spaniard
were taken on board and, strange as
it may seem, the captain turned out
to be the girls father who had left
home in his boyhood and never re-
turned. A search party was organ
lied to look for the old lady. For a
long time the only clew they could
discover was a trace Of shoe polish
on the walls of the crevasse where
the old lady had dug her toes in
while going down but they found her
at last sitting by the seashore eating
chocolate Judges with wild man
with whom she had just eloped
When Mr.. Morarity saw how ugly
she had grown he concluded to let
the other fellow have her. The
search party accordingly went back
to the ship, leaving the elopers in
possession of the island. The cap
tain did not like the Spaniard be-
cause he smoked cigarettes and tried
to get his daughter to marry an
other gentleman, but she objected
To settle the difficulty the captain
threw the Spaniard into the sea
where he became SO wet and un
comfortable that he died Of exposure
The young lady's grief thereupor
overAowed and swamped the ship
which sank with all on board
Thus ended the unhappy lives Of al

Mrs. Morarity and her new husband

of which she died in great agony.

Last Monday marked the beginn-
ing Of the largest sugar campaign in
the history of beet sugar making
at Holly. Monday evening at Z
O'Clock the Holly Sugar Company
started its Holly factory, where over
300 men will be employed. and it is
expected that the campaign will last
from five to six months, although
heretofore three to four has been
the limit.
The factory will slice between 600
and 700 tons of beets daily. The
acreage this year is considerably
over 5000, as against 4.5O0 last year
while the Holly Sugar Company's
Swink factory will have over Is 900
tons to slice, as against about one
third that for last year. This COM
pany alone will pay the farmers Of
