COL. WENDELSCHAEFER
is AMPLY INDICATED

The engagement ot one OF the Liebler
companies at the Providence opera house
last week afforded proof that managers
whose bookings are made by the Klaw
and Erlanger syndicate can obtain time in
this city III they prefer "A week I'm a COM
munity OF over 100000 to one-night book
ings In small towns.
The Lieber plays are booked by klaw
and Erlanger. and objections were made
70 the route or one-night stands proposed
for last week.
Open time was available in Providence
and the syndicate was informed that a
week In Providence must be substituted
the Lieber company having no interest In
the refusal OF the Providence manager
to divide his profits with Klaw and Erlan-
ger.
The syndicate route was changed and
the Lieber company had n profitable en-
gagement. the sale Of seats being unusu-
ally large.
Thus was Col. Wendelschaefer's courage
Gus action In breaking away from the
trust and making the Providence opera

ply vindicated. and decidedly to the sd
vantage also OF a firm OF managers deal

that it was his share Of the IS 900 that
had been received from the French
restaurants.
Ruef further testified that in Janu-
ary 1906 he gave Schmitz $500, tell
ing him 1t was the second installment
to the $4,000 paid by the French res.

of launch from the batleship Min
nesota and the drowning of eleven
men, including six midshipmen, re-
turning from the army and navy ball
at the jamestown Exposition and the
crew of the launch on Monday night,
resulted from the launch being run
down by tug and coal barge The
identity of the tug is not yet known.
Tug Stopped But Saw Nothing.
1t is said that the tug stopped after
the accident but finding no trace of
the object struck, or any sign Of life
in the water, resumed it's course with
the coal barge in tow. The presump-
ton is that the launch sank immedi-
ately in the darkness of the stormy
night, the occupants being caught in
their canvas covered craft with no
possible way Of escape and carried to
the bottom
