minstrel performances that have been
presented in the past, consisting of
few ordinary musicians, singers and
vaudeville acts. Mr.. Primrose being
aware of this fact, has therefore Sc
lected the best local talent in the coun-
try, as we'll as an operate orchestra
of picked musicians, also the greatest
comedians and dancers in the min
strel world.
The opening first part is said to be
the handsomest scenic interior ever put
on the stage, being done in blue, gold
and ivory. During this part all the
latest comic songs, jokes and ballads
will be rendered by a host of come
dams, singers and dancers.
The second part will contain nothing
but scenes wherein negro life way down
south will be depicted by song, story
and dance. The closing number, en-
titled ''The Evolution of the Negro
is said to be the most magnificent spec
tacular scene ever produced on any
stage. The entire production was
staged by George Primrose, who has
been the originator and producer of
every novel effect brought out in min
strelsy for the past 10 years.

Amusement Notes,

George NJ Cohan is evidently set
ting a pace for the writer's of so-called
musical comedy. Over a year ago he
remarked in a newspaper interview,
that he eye was tired of tinsel and col
or schemes, while the ear was growing
weary of clap-trap melody. 1.-The day
for the big chorus and carload of
music has seen it's day. remarked Mr..
Cohan. True to mis- convictions his
next play. "Forty-Five Minutes from
Broadway" only contained five mu-
steal numbers while the chorus con-
sisted of only eight girls and eight
men. 1t was a daring innovation, yet
the tremendous success of 'Forty-F'ive
Minutes from Broadway" has proved
the wisdom of Mr.. Cohan's theory.
Corinne who will be seen here in
George M. COhan's delightful comedy,
"FOrty-Five Minutes from Broadway
is native of New Orleans, where she
was born in 1874. She has been con-
stantly before the public since she was
five years old. She is only 80 years of
age. yet, she has been a stage favO-
rite for 81 years. In the role of Mary
in George M. Cohan's play she is said
to give the most convincing and de-
lightful performance of her entire ca
rppr

BOY GETS FIVE THOUSAND
FOR HIS FOUR FINGERS

OLYMPIA, Mch. 20-A majority of
the state supreme court in a decision
says John Campbell, a minor, may re-
cover $4,000 from the Wheeliian Wede-
ner company of Everett for loss of
four fingers in the machinery. The
original verdict was for $500, but the
court holds this amount excessive, and
orders Campbell either accept $4,000 or
a new trial will be had. The majority
decision 10 this effect is brief.
Justice Root files an eight-page
dissenting opinion, replete with vigor-
Gus language. The boy had been en-
ployed three years in the mill. and
while working about the machinery
slipped and fell so that his hand wa;
drawn against the saws. The verdict
below was given on the theory the mill
owners were negligent because the
particular saws were unguarded. JUS
tice Root points out that the labor
commissioner had inspected the ma
chinery, and had tacitly approved 1T,
and that it was practically impOs-
sible to guard those particular saws.
The main point of the dissenting Opin-
ion is that Campbell worked there for
years knowing the saws were un-
guarded. and never complained to the
mill owners Or asked they be protected.

LABOR SHORTAGE DELAYS
TETON CANAL A YEAR

NORTH YAKIMA, March 20.-From
present indications the Teton canal
project, which is to reclaim $4,000 acres
of land in Yakima valley, will be de-
layed one year on account Of the scare
ity of labor and inadequate service of
the railroad in carrying supplies. The
ditch was supposed to have been COM
pleted by 1908, but it is hardly possible
now to finish it until late in the sum-
mer of next year, which will cause the
loss of next years crop.
Work on opening the portals of the
three long tunnels has progressed as
far as possible until more machinery
arrives and the power house is COM
pleted. Joseph Jacobs, the engineer in
charge, finds it impossible to secure
sufficient laborers, although they are
receiving 1925 a day for eight hours.
About so men are now at work on the
portal Of the long tunnel, about 10
miles from Naches City, and he wishes
to increase this number to 80 at once

THOSE WRANGLING SOLONS.

The serious aspect of the incinerator
purchase is being strongly impressed
upon all who have paid attention to the
unparalleled proceedings. Nothing in
bygone days-not even the water scam
dal-has created so much adverse COM
ment upon the hasty action of the bit
ulithic majority in the council.
1t has ever been the practice of those
in control to ignore the wishes OF the
property owners and the claims to rec
ogniton of the minority councilmen
Matters have been carried with a high
hand and regardless of the needs, or
interests. of the municipality. They
have gone beyond the point of mere
recklessness and have landed in
slough of suspicion which the people
will be long in passing by.
The Statesman is bound to confess
that a great deal of this obstinate ac-
ton is due, not so much to outside in
fluences-althOugh none may doubt
they prevail all too strongly for the
public gOod-but to the enmity exist
ing between certain councilmen. In
ing revenge and retaliation upon each
other, they lose sight of the public
welfare and go blndly into deals which
but for their personal antagonisms,
they might not enter without more or
less hesitation.
This procedure is not conducive to
wise administration of the city's af-
fairs. 1t works injury to all sides,
opens the way to undue influence and
leaves the council at the mercy of the
first shrewd lobbyist who is here to
take advantage of the dissensions and
sew up one side or the other in con-
tracts, or agreements, which cannot
but appear suspicious to the public
Less individual wrangling and more
consideration paid to the voice of the
people, is what the Walla Walla cOun-
ell stands sadly in need Of.

the ordinance passed yesterday evening
and when questioned seemed to know
but little about the ordinance. 1t is
probable the big sign will come down
when the ordinance goes into effect

Ackerman's headquarters are in sa-
loon.

is the old, old story. Unable to live
with her husband on account of cru
city and other reasons, she says she
instituted suit for divorce. They were
living in Tenino and the case comes
before Judge Linn of Thurston coun-
ty. ~
Her friends declare the order to
bring the child into court, and the at
tempt which will be made to take her
from her mother, is a purely revenge
full move on the part of the husband.
He appeared before Judge Linn Sat-
urday and. alleging that the mother
is not fit person to have the custody
of the child. asked the court to place
her in his care.
After filing petition for divorce
Mrs. Sloane left Tenino and came to
Tacoma where she secured work at the
Newport hotel. Her little daughter,
Freda. will never willingly be given up
by the mother. IS
Guests at the hotel who witnessed
the incident, which was of such tragic
moment to the mother and child, are
all sympathy for Mrs. Sloane. The
child and her mother will probably APP
pear in Judge Inns court today.

NOBODY WILL SIGN THE
COMPLAINT AGAINST HIM

All that prevents A. SchwarZ from
being arrested for keeping his sa-

the city ordinance is the fact that no
one has been found to sign the COM
plant.
The complaint was made out by City
Attorney Blandford 1t was intended
that Captain Mike Davis should sign
the document. Davis refuses. Henry
Van Buren, who presented the COM
plant to the council yesterday evening,
will probably sign it this evening.

MOTHER GOES TO JAIL
TO Be WITH HER CHILD

TACOMA, Mch. 2O.-Rather than al
low her little 13-year-old daughter to
be torn from her side by the law, Mrs.
Della Sloane, employed at the Newport
hotel, yesterday submitted to arrest
and has accompanied the child to pris-
on at Olympia, where she is under or
der to appear in Judge Linns court.
At the hotel yesterday morning when
the officers informed Mrs. Sloane that
they had an order from the court
which would separate her from her
little daughter, the woman was panic
stricken, and clasping her child in her
arms, declared that no one dared
touch her.
She defied the officers and it was
only upon their consent to arrest her
and allow her to accompany them,
that they were permitted by the thor
oughly aroused mother to carry out
the order Of the court.
According to Mrs. Sloane's friends, it

and has sent to Seattle for 80 men.
1t is the intention to place 700 men
at work as soon as drilling machinery
arrives. The government is doing the
work itself, as the bids for cOnstruc-
ton were rejected because they were
excessive. Mr.. Jacobs asserts that he
will probably ask a number of small
contractors to take contracts for small
portions of the work and handle a few
stations. He believes the contractors
with small capital will be anxious to
do the work. and thus relieve the gov
eminent of considerable worry.
