1.-THE HAM TREE"

In the first two acts of Klaw & Err
 langer's production of "The Ham
 Tree" Mcintyre and Heath, the fam- ous negro impersonators, appear as
 minstrels. In the last act, in the de- velopment of part of the plot of the story, they are seen as an Indian ra- jah and rance. These players are un- questionably the cleverest imperson- ators of negro character types on the American stage. They have been be- fore the public for fully thirty years. Born and brought up in the south, in close contact with the darkey in their early youth, they acquired remark able knowledge of his mannerisms and dialect, and in this respect are undoubtedly the best equipped per- formers in their line of stage work. For several years they appeaerd in vaudeville in sketch called "The Georgia Minstrels. This Klaw & Erlanger had elaborated into three act play, which has proved one of the strongest attractions of the current season and quite the funniest present. ed in many years. It is all laughter and song and keeps an audience key ed up to high pitch of interest from 1 the start to finish. Its presentation in this city at Poli's Thursday, Sept
 5, will afford theater-goers here an opportunity of seeing piece which has made a remarkable success ir New York, Philadelphia, Pittsbure and Chicago. Prices 25 cents to $1.5O

APOLOGIES FOR FRISCO.
William R. Hearst Offers Excuse For
 Downfall of Mayor /Schmitz.

DoWHIuU oI mdyoT .SSnHliS<'
 Norfolk, Va, Sept. Civilian R. Hearst, in his Labor day speech, made apology for the downfall of Mayor Schmitz and the boodling which has been exposed in San Francisco. He said:
 '"There is no greater danger to our government, to our popular rights and our public morals than the corrupt use of the great power of corporate wealth. You hear much of how a mayor of San Francisco has fallen, but you hear little of how powerful corporations tempted q wretched hu- man being with great wealth and brought him to ruin and disgrace.
 "You hear much of how a mayor, elected on a union ticket, is in jail. but little of the fact that it was an honest district attorney, elected on the same ticket, who put him there; an honest district attorney who is doing his best to put beside the mayor the men responsible for all this debauch, cry and dishonor. While it is the fashion to criticise San Francisco just now, venture to assert that the only difference between San Francisco and some other cities is that San Francisco is punishing her corruptionists."

THE LION AND THE MOUSSE"

]. THE LION AND THE MOUSE"
 Charles Klein, author of "The Lion and the Mouse" experienced the same difficulty in securing hearing for his play that almost every successful dramatist undergoes. When he had finished the manuscript he approach ed every manager of prominence in New York, but none of them thought well of it until he met Henry B. Har- ris. This gentleman saw the wonder full possibilities of drama dealing with the question of trusts and poli- tical intrigue and forthwith made a contract with MT Klein. The result is known to everyone who reads the newspapers or magazines, as "The Lion and the Mouse" has made the greatest hit of anything known to the stage in the last decade. When MT Klein completed his latest play, Daughters of Men" he never went farther than MT Harris office to place his product and the new piece is an- other success. "The Lion and the Mouse" will be seen at Polls for one night, Sept 4 with the original con- pany. Prices 25c to $1.50.

JAPAN AND CHINA MAY CLASH
Serious Trouble Believed Probable Over
 Disputed Land.

Yokohama, Sept. 3.-The probability of serious clash between the Chi nese and Japanese troops is involved in the action of Hui, the viceroy of Manchuria, in dispatching a force of Chinese soldiers to Kwanto, or Middle island, where, in the name of the Ko- rean government, the Japanese have assumed control.
 The territory named is the only rich region between the Yalu river and Manchuria on the northern side of the Shangpi range of mountains. It has long been the subject of dispute be- tween China and Korea. The popula- tion is estimated at 100000 Koreans and 100000 Chinese. Several months ago Marquis Ito sent Lieutenant Colo nel Saito with a small force of troops to assume the administration. This fact seems just to have become known to the Chinese authorities, who now enter protest, claiming sovereignty The dispatch of Chinese troops to the territory is the latest move.

That time has not yet come, and it will not come until the demands of organized labor are universally recognized as just demands. It is for you to prove your case by only and always demanding justice and justice alone"

"AUDEVILLE."

The vaudeville season at aJcques theater opened with rush yesterday,
 both performances being witnessed
 by standing room crowds. In fact,
 were the theater twice as large, t would undoubtedly have been taxed
 to its capacity. notwithstanding that the price for the first fourteen rows in the pit has been almost doubled. Although this weeks bill is perhaps somewhat disappointing to those who had parted with half cart wheel, nevertheless the crowd in general en- loved the show. It certainly seemed good if 1t were only beacuse variety was on the boards once more. John T. Kelly who won his laurels with Weber & Fields, is featured in a sketch entitled "A Game of Con-" AL though Kelly gives an excellent DOT traiture of an Irish character and is ably assisted in his number by Harry Keane and Miss Dora oBoth, still the skit does not make much of an inn pression. But Kelly himself as well as his co-workers are good. Miss Booth is a sumner. Paul Le CrOiX, the comedy juggler. with his hat manipulations, is one of the real hits of the week. Le Croix does wonders wit ha few old plug hats. Almont and Dumont have a refined musical act. The Reiff brothers have sing l ing and dancing number that is good 1 to hear and watch although one of i the duo is somewhat of a calcium man. Cook and Stevens, eOlored comedians, would do better if they | confined their efforts to singing
 Sperry and Ray give an opening number which is better than the av.
