"AcciDENTs WILL HAPPEN"

The musical comedy, Accidents VIII

English lord for proposing to every pret-

comedy of the likable kind. Two houses

Eddie Murray and chorus, run the favor

number, elaborately costumed, which was
well received. The Seymour twins,

unique and fetching acrobatic act, Of
which the girls beauty is not the least
pleasing feature.
Hugh Metcalfe, who played an English
secretary, was pressed nto service with
but six hours notice through the seri-
GUS illness of Ed Barnes, the company's

learned his lines perfectly in that short
time, but mastered new song. which he
sang excellently, as well.

AIN MlZzoURI" is THIS
WEEKS BILL AT BELAscO

The Belasco company, sans a leading
woman, but with Miss Florence Smythe
cast as Kate Vernon, revived I'm Miz-
zouri' last night before the usual large
and well pleased Monday audience. The
play Is too familiar to require extended
comment. 1t was first produced many
seasons ago by Nat Goodwin and since
then has been presented by stock COM
panies all over the country until Jim
Radburn and his injured dog, Joe Yer
non, the village smith; Dave, who
couldn't get time enough off to hunt for
steady job and the rest of them seem
like old friends.
The play, OF course, tells an interesting
story, as any play must which approaches
its successful record; but it's chief claim
to popular approval is based upon the
eccentric character types Augustus
Thomas has drawn as figures for his
play. I'm A1izzouri' is, as the program
announces 1t, a Character drama and
it makes no pretensions to being any
thing else.
If it serves no other purpose, however
the revival again emphasizes the marked
versatility of the Belasco players. Lewis

This weeks bill at the Orpheum demon
strates the need for a new basis of criti-
ciam--neither dramatic nor musical, but
yaudevillian. Had the musical critic
done" the Orpheum last night he or she

have been discussed from the high art

them triumphantly over their slaughtered

postulate any lack of quality in the sing

PURSUED FOR
THREE YEARS,
rs CAPTURED
THOMAS M. M'CAyLEY IN
JAIL
PROMOTED MINING COMPANY IN
NEW YORK
Former President of Mercantile Se-
curity Company Accused of Jump
r ing $4,000 Baii-AlIeges
Misunderstanding

Thomas M. McCauley former presi-
dent of the Mercantile Security COM
pany of New York, organizer and man.
ager of the Sprasue Collection agency
and the Continental Finance company
of Chicago, is in jail in Los Angeles on
a bench warrant from le criminal
bench of the supreme court of New
York.
McCauley was arrested at the An
gelus hotel by Detectives Fl. d. Bailey
and Seymour Beutler of the Pinkerton
agency with the assistance OF local
police detectives, who located the man
for the private officers.
McCauley has been fugitive from
Justice accordingato the Pinkerton Of
ficers, more than three years. Accord
ing to his own statement McCauley is
a victim of misinformation and in no
wise criminal.
In July, 1904, McCauley was the or
ganizer and afterward the president OF
the Mercantile Security company oil
New York. This corporation. organ
lied according to law, attempted to
float and did sell large amount OF
stock in what was called the Bisbee
Lode Mining company. McCauley ana
tho company. it is said. guaranteed the
stock and in fact underwrote it d5 d
trust company would do.
The stock 1t is alleged, was fraudu-
lent and every investor lost his money.
On complaint of numerous stockholders
the grand jury of New York county
and city returned an indictment
against McCauley, accusing him or
grand larceny in the first degree.
He was arrested and presented in
the court of general sessions and
transferred to the criminal branch OF
the supreme court presided over by Re-
corder Goff. He was held for trial and
released on $4,000 cash bond, deposited
for him by his friends.
When the case was called for trial
McCauley failed to answer and since
that time he has in the eyes of the law
been a fugitive
Ten days ago he arrived in this city
to visit his brother John McCauley OF
the firm of Peckham & Co. real
estate dealers, who reside in Pasadena
The specific charge against McCauley
is that he sold mining stock which was
worthless, representing it as valuable.
In defense he states that after he was
released from jail in New York he was
informed by his attorneys that the
matter had been dropped. He came
west and engaged in mining ventures
in Nevada.

Mad Days In Melbourne When the
Gold Fever Was Raging.

WAC OayS IN melOCuFno Wheh tne
Gold Fever Was Raging.
Gold threatened to become as COM
mon as silver in the days Of Solomon.
In one year f12,6oO,OOO, in eight years
f05.000.OOO, were won. Some men at
Golden Point made as much as f4OO
each a day. Another exceptionally
lucky party unearthed thirty-four
pounds Of gold in one day. No wonder
that such pockets" were termed Jew
elers' shopsr' Occasionally a nugget
worth 10000 was unearthed. The re-
suit of this sudden influx Of wealth,
almost without labor and with risks
which are inf1nitesimal as compared
with Klondike, was the temporary de-
moralization Of the population Mel
bourne in the height of the gold fever
has been described by one who knew
1t well as "a fevered, drunken, deliri-
Gus pendemonium." The lucky ones
and there were thousands of them
squandered their riches In the most
reckless fashion.
Some OF their fantastic tricks would
scarcely be credited were they not at
tested by witnesses still living. The
game or nlneplnS, we are told. was
played with bottles of champagne, for
which be. who broke the least had to
pay Dozens Of the same costly wine
were emptied into tubs and drunk
from tin pannikins. spirits and beer
being added to give body" to the bev-
erage. One man. in imitation Of Calig-
ula, shod his horse with gold. Sand
witches made Of bank notes were de-
voured. Silver wrapped up in bank
notes was thrown to popular actresses
instead Of flowers. In fact. money was
SO plentiful that the reckless diggers
could not knock it down fast enough
They thought they had only to dig a
few feet in the earth to get plenty
more, and for time 1t almost seemed
as if this were so. Such were some of
the characteristics of Victoria's hot
youth.-Pall Mall Gazette.
