LaPorte, Ind, Oct 23.-It is now be
neved that Thomas J. Mccoy will be
given his liberty in November. that
the pardon board which will convene
early in the month will take the ac-
ton which will give the former Rens-
selaer banker his long sought liberty.
Mr. Mccoy has served his minimum
sentence and his case has been con
sidered at several meetings OF the
parole board. There has, however
been marked opposition on the part Of
Jasper county citizens, coupled with
the threat that other Indictments would
be prosecuted in the event of his re-
lease, and this feeling has deferred the
board from taking action granting a
parole. The recent injury Mr.. Mccoy
sustained coupled with the demise of
his mother, who grieved herself to
death, has aroused considerable sym
pathy for the man from Jasper county.

This time Mr.. Blaney will bid for favor as
an author. following in the melodramatic
lines along which his brother. Charles e.
Blaney. has so long labored with success.
From Sing Sing to Liberty is the tItle
of the new melodrama. The star sensa-
ton OF the play is Cunning, the great
jnilbreaker.a impersonated by a man who
has made a scientific study of how to open
handouts and cell doors. In addition to
this he is said to give a manly performance
OF the hero's role. A special feature of the
entertainment is two feats performed by
the jailbreaker with all the lights burning
bright, TO show the audience there Is no
deception or trick In their accomplishment.
In the second act, Cunning breaks out
of a steel cage after being securely hand
cuffed and locked in with the regulation
prison locks. Again in the third act he re-
leases himself from a straitjacket, pro-
nouneed by hospital authorities as impos-
slble of escaping from.

vaudeville than this country had ever be-
fore known the information was received
with the natural great interest thai would
be aroused by any such radical departure
on the part of this firm. But only those
directly interested had even an approx
mate idea of the enormity of the work
ahead, Of what herculean proportions the
task OF concentrating this project would
assume. 1t was first necessary to secure
a sufficient number of theatres of high
standard and adequate equipment. Next
came the difficult work Of signing the
various stars and productions.
The necessary theatres were secured in
all of the prominent cities of the East and
North and West. In the majority of them
reforms and changes We're instituted, the
better to equip them for the class of en-
tertainment planned.
But this undertaking of perfecting a cir
cult of playhouses to be devoted to lad
vanced vaudeville was the lesser half of
the enterprise. Securing the attractions
was the greater p~art-that is. the class of
attractions wanted.
The search was started and II has con-
tinued through many months. Every
European music hall and theatre of conse-
quence and popularity was watched by
agents. and knowledge of some IN

every country in Europe and Asia.
1t is announced as not the purpose Of
Klaw & Erlanger to start out with n
spread and flourish on the opening week,
and then allow the bills to deteriorate.
The aim is to make each succeeding
weeks bill stronger and better in It's offer
ing than the week before.
The opening weeks bill here features
Joe WEIGH, Hebrew impersonator. Mr..
WEIGH made n long and careful study OF
the Hebrew character he impersonates be-
fore he ever presented it on any stage.
The skill and sympathy with which he
depicts the character is known TO New
arkers who have seen him of recent years
in this city in both vaudeville and melo-
drama.
Joe Harris Military Girls will be an
other one of the features. This is the
most elaborate act on the bill, and will
come here headed by the singing and
dancing coincidence. Miss Louise Mink,
