WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-While the
preparations for President Roosevelts
western trip have not been completed,
the program has been sufficiently arranged
to make it certain that the tour will be
one of the most spectacular ever under
taken by him. He will leave here a
week from today and will be absent from
the seat OF government until October %
or "a. The trip has three distinctive ob-
Jects The dedication of the Mckinley
mausoleum at Canton, o.; the inspection
OF the Mississippi river with view to
arousing interest in a ship channel from
It's mouth to Keokuk, Ia, and the great
lakes and the securing of a period of
recreation for the chief executive before
the beginning OF the duties of the winter.

on the return Journey which will deal
with current issues
The stay at Canton Monday, September
80. will be only of little more than suf-
hcient duration to permit the president
to pay his tribute to the memory of his
immediate predecessor, but he will there

eral improvement of inland navigation,

which the president will travel will con-
stitute his guard of honor to Memphis,
where the party will arrive October L.

voyage, at st. Louis on October and
at Cairo, ILL.,, on October 3, and at both
points speeches bearing upon the coun-
try's future will be delivered by the pres

Entertainments Enroute.
Reports from all points at which stops
are to be made indicate that the party
will be entertained on lavish scale
throughout. At KeoIuk there will be a
water pageant and many citizens Will
convoy the president down the river In
crafts of all sizes for twenty or thirty
miles and a number of them will accom-
pany him all the way to Memphis. At

Six New Offerings
on Programme
at Orpheunl
BY James Crawford

Six new acts on the Orpheum's cur
rent bill vary widely in both value and
quality. In my opinion the best of
them pleases no more people than does

Dream" presented by May Edouin and
Fred Edwards. said opinion being based
upon a careful comparison of the ap-
plause volumes respectively provoked.

Howard and Howard are two-thirds
of the Messenger Boys Trio that scored
heavily at the Orpheum several years
ago, and the organization has not suf-
fered to any palpable extent by its re-
duction. The comic messenger boy now
has one feeder instead of two and his
jokes are correspondingly clarified. He
is unQuestionably a funny little chap,
with a voice that is good enough in
for its lack of education. And in his
natural Hebraic character he wins

olic faith in this city on Seventh street,
near Folsom, was fttingly dedicated
yesterday morning at o'clock by
solemn high mass. Evergreens and
bright banners of the Greek national
colors surmounted by the stars and
stripes, made the solemn rites OF the
church an impressive and picturesque
spectacle. The ceremonies were at

church is drawn from the Greeks,
Arabs and Servians living in this city

The large building is still unfinished.

Poolroom Graft

of Ruef

The Grand Jury will soon consider
the charge that fifty poOIrOOms in Fill
more street are paying a weekly trfb-
ute of $1,000 TO the Schmftz-Ruef-Dina1
administration, and that several hum
dred smaller places in contiguous thor
Oughfares also contribute a weekly
stipend.
Before the racing season opened II
was planned by Ruef TO organize a
poolroom syndicate to control the field.
Whether he was TO divide the per-
quisites with his amisble Mayor and
obedient Chief OF Police is not known,
for the scheme fell through before the
track was opened. Some OF his friends
were to be the promoters Of the scheme,
and they were to build a pavilion on
the water front where bets would be
made.
II might be that Ruef aid not think
that his share would be large enough.
and that for that reason the scheme
fell through. Under the present sys-
TEN it is said the lowest figure collect
ed from favored poolrooms is s25 a
week. One estimate OF the graft places
IL at $4,000 a week.
