not vote for the party President Roose-
welt has done much for the nation and

New Academy.

From Sing Sing to Liberty" is decidedly
an innovation in the present-day melo-
drama. Mr.. Cummings notable work is Of
character thus far seen only in vaudeville.
The play was written for him, and was well
constructed around his marvellous speciality.
that of lock picking and Jail breaking. 1t is
hardly too much to say that his work
met with as much enthusiasm as that of the
renowned Houdini. His many extraordinary
feats elected hearty applause. none SO much
as his escape from the straitjacket in the
third act.
The specialties introduced by Irene Meara
and Johnnie Hoey and THE Irvine City
Quartet" afforded a feature to the perform
ance. The play is excellently staged and
the scenery of several acts added much to
the poignant reality of situations.

Opening of College of Law.

The Washington College of Law opened
its doors last evening for its twelfth year
in its new quarters, in the Metropolitan
Bank bui ding, with an attendance that
crowded the rooms and corridors.
Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey, the dean,
presided and made the principal address
In welcoming the students she said that
the triumph of mind over matter made 1t
possible for a college to be housed in a
building handsomer and more convenient
than the palaces of ancient times. She said
that the only way to attain success on a
high level is by hard work and thorough
preparation, and that the smaller college
offers special facilities along those lines.
Other members of the faculty present
who made brief addresses were: Prof
Harry Hegarty, instructor in common law
Prof. Edwin C. Dutton, instructor in law
contracts and criminal law; Prof Charles
w. Fits, instructor in common law plead
ing and equity pleading; his assistant, Prof
Helen e Jamson, and Prof. Clarence A.

LADS 60 TO REFORM SCHOOL
THREE YOUNG RESIDENTS CON-
VICTED OF THEFT.
Gained Access to Homes by False
Representations Of Their
Booty Recovered.

A case of unusual interest in which three
young white boys, each sixteen years old,
named, respectively, William F. Saur. Err
est Wright and James Orme. were the de-
PENDANTS, was trial for nearly three
hours yesterday afternoon in the Juvenile
Court, Judge Callan presiding. The boys
were charged with grand larceny, the COM
planning witness being Mrs. Ida M. Burk
of 21o A street northeast. and Mrs. Madge
Rose of IA North Carolina avenue south
east.
1t was alleged that the boys had entered
the homes of the above named persons and
carried away valuable jewelry, consisting Of
a gold watch, several diamond rings, scarf
pins, pocket books and other articles val
ued at $50. Their method OF getting into
the houses it was alleged. was by repre-
sentng that they had been sent to repair
the roofs. Calming access to the houses, 1t
was an easy matter to visit the apartments
and secure what they wanted. One of the
boys, it was stated would watch. while
the others did the stealing. In giving their
testimony each tried to put the blame on
the other.
The valuables were nearly all recovered
from local pawn shops. where the trio had
disposed of them, getting in the aggregate
about so for their booty. This amount
they divided.

When he learned that the police were

listed in the navy, representing that he was
twenty-one years old. He was assigned to
the receiving ship Franklin at the Norfolk
navy yard, where he was arrested and
turned over to the local police
After hearing all the facts in the case
Judge Callan decided that the best place
for the trio was the reform school, to which
institution they were committed to remain
during their minority.

Despite the deficiencies here and there
which necessarily reminded the auditor that
last nights production of "A Fool and

While following the trend Of present popu.

ner Of treatment, and at times leaves the
audience mystifed as to the authors inten-
ton. Comedy of the broadest kind is mo-
salced with the most delicate pathos, and
in a manner which leaves the emotions
wholly confused. The changes of mood
are SO abrupt that the inclination to laugh
treads dangerously on the heels of sin
cere sympathy. Yet the elements of COM
edy and sentiment are distinct and well de-
hned, once the auditor is persuaded to await
the authors elucdation instead of jump
Ing at his own conclusions
The chief interest of the performance at

Miss Fannie Ward, still remembered by
those who saw "A Marriage of Reason

questionaby shrewd, she lacks the interest
which attaches to dangers faced and con-
quered.. Her plotting is neither original

Majestic.

The largest audience thus far seen at the
Majestic witnessed Kathryn Purnel's pro-

from the class of plays in which she has
recently been seen, and Majestic patrons
evidently approved the change.
With the exception Of the famous stair
case scene, which has been more or less
universally condemned, the Daudet drama
was given very complete production. Miss
Purnell, in the role of Fanny LIE Grand,
proved convincing without being unduly de-
mOnstrative.
Frank Munnel as Jean Gausin gave a
creditable performance, while A. J. Pickens'
