CRAFT IN KANSAS CITY.
Governor Folk Makes Personal Invest-
 tgatiOn.

1nKGAt.
 igatiOn.
 Kansas City. Mo, May 1s--Gov. Jo- seph W. Folk left for Jefferson City today after a conference with the local Police Commissioners regarding graft charges, that lasted until l o'clock this morning.
 Among his callers were policemen and police detectives, who are said to have laid bare numerous Irregularities, eyi- dently in the hope of gaining immunity for themselves. Governor Folks inyes. tigatlons have apparently convinced him that there is very strong alliance existing between the Metropolitan Street Railway and the police force. A high official of the Police Department is authority for the statement that within two years this alleged alliance has been encouraged by the heads of departments.
 Mayor Beardsley has repeatedly charged that policemen have been over zealous in serving the street car com pany when passengers have been injur- ed in accidents. It was charged that in- stead of taking steps promptly to re- lieve the sufferings of the injured, the police have frequently waited to notify claim agents of the company, and In other ways aided the company to forti- fly itself against damage suits.
 John Halpin, Chief of Detectives, one or the men slated for dismissal. Is a nephew of Bernard Corrigan, President of the Metropolitan Street Railroad Company.

BUSSE'S BIG STICK
CHICAGO MAYOR ASKS SCHOOL
 TRUSTEES TO RESIGN.
yTwelve Members of Board Must Quit Or Be Fired---AntagOnism To School Superintendent the
 Cause.

Chicago. May 1e.--Mayor Russo has stirred up a great deal of discussion by his recent action of asking for the resignation of twelve members of the school board who had been appointed by the previous mayor. Judge Dunne.
 Last Friday Mayor Busse wrote out twelve resignation forms which he sent to the members of the school board, whose resignations were de- sired Most of them were extremely surprised not to say startled, by the mayors bombshell, and asked for time to consider the matter. This was in the face of the mayors assertion that. if the resignations were not forthcoming. he would dismiss those who held back
 Up to today four designations had been received; six Trustees were talk ing of legal light and two had not been reached because they were absent from the city.
 Various reasons are assigned for the Mayors action in demanding the resig- nations. The one most commonly &C., cepted, however, In the absence of a statement from tha Mayor himself, is that th> Mayor hes to make certain the retention of F. c. Cooley. superin- tendent of schools. MT. Cooley has been reelected to his position every year since 1900. The Board appointed by Mayor Dunne included many trus- tees alleged to be antagonistic to the present superintendent. Their terms of office expire in a few weeks, just before the time 1t is customary to elect the superintendent. There has been a good deal of talk, however. that cer- tain of the trustees contemplated hold ing the election much earlier than usual fir the purpose of busting Mir. Cooley. Report has 1t that when this alleged information reached Mayor Busse's ears he made the sudden determination to demand the resignations of the trus- tees inimical to the present superin- tendent, and to replace them with men who would make MT. Cooley's re-elec- ton certain.

CUTICURA PROVED ITS
 WONDERFUL EFFICACY

"T am now eighty years old and one morning, three years ago, was taken with hard pain in my right side. In two days 1 he'd an attack of piles (hemorrhoids), bleeding and protruding. The doctor gave me some medicine and an ointment for them which helped me some but had to keep using them all the time. Then changed to the P------ remedy; but if I did not use it every day, I would get worse. The doctor said the only help for me was to go to a hospital and be operated on. At this time, about year ago, went to using the B. remedies. 1 tried them for four or five months but did not get much help for my piles. During this time sores would come on heshy part of my body. They bothered me all the time. 1 would get one healed andI another would come. These soresl changed to eczema, accompanied bY 6 terrible itching. It seemed as f Il could not keep my hands from tearing my flesh. This and the pile trouble brought on an infamed condition.

PoLIs

Yesterday marked the opening of the regular vaudeville season at Polls the- ater, and big audiences availed them selves of the opportunity for recreation. Manager Poh has provided one of his very best aggregations of talent to in- augurate the regular season. Many new features are presented Changes all tending to the comfort and conven- fence of the patrons have been made and the house has undergone quite a number of improvements.
 The addition of the fifty cent seats for the evening is provision that seems to meet with approval from the patrons as they realize Manager Poli will permit no lowering of the high standard he has set for attractions at his theater.
 The top liner is J. c. Rice and Sally Cohen in their farcette, "All the World Loves Lover" This is their first appearance on the Poli circuit and their reputation throughout the metro politan theaters warranted their en- gagement in this city as the opening gun of the season of 1907-0S.

Pittsburg, Sept. 2.-Interesting let ters written by Richard Mansfield short ly after his last visit here to George Siebel, a newspaper man who had defended Mansfield with his pen, were made public yesterday One written from Chicago was as follows
 MT dear Siebel: I thank you very much for your most able and very welcome defence of my offence. knew some barkeepers and their pat rons like the old mouthing, hideous Richard; we'll, nobody is obliged to come and see my Richard. There is nothing easier than to stay away. Per haps these people do not realize that they get more from me for their money than they did or do from the old actor.
 I wonder why they don't see my hump. It is six inches thick, and l limp when I don't forget it. Imagine Anne at the bier of her murdered hus- bands father swiftly falling captive tc the honeyed tongue of an ogre.
 The gloom here is frightful- the cold penetrating-it cuts the heart and l am, yours, very depressed but grateful.
 RICHARD MANSFIELD. In another letter to MT. Siebel Mansfield, after complimenting him on a recent magazine production wrote in a letter from New York:
 have been very i'll, barely able to do my work Indeed have been suf- fering from nervous exhaustion fot some time. When I am in this con dition I always abuse Shakespeare (some men abuse the Diety), so you mustn't mind my outburst the other day.

Norwalk Business Men Thought Quicksilver Soaked Coins Were
 Commercials.

South Norwalk, Sept, 2.-The busi- ness men of Norwalk were alarmed the other afternoon by the large number of supposed counterfeit ten-cent pieces that were put in circulation. Some of these coins were taken into the local banks, and the banks were suspicious of them.
 After many inquiries the matter was reported to the Norwalk police for in- vestigation Officer Bryan H. silk be- gan to trace Up the parties who weYe passing out these coins. At last 1t was traced to a newsboy who had several of the coins in his possession. These were turned over to the officer, to Dc sent to the mint. The coins looked as though they were made of aluminium. but they had the proper jingle.
 Officer Silk learned that the coins had been given a wash in quicksilver and this gave them the peculiar color. It seemed to be a case of a practical Joke which someone wanted to play, Tn this it was successful, as a number or the coins had gotten intN4 the handb of the local business men who began to feel that a flood of connterfeits had come upon them.

NEW HAVEN.
"H1s TERRTBuE sEOREr. ],

d1S IEhRlBJE SEIOhBI."
 Charles Frohman, the Napoleon of managers, is said to have affirmed that even he could not tell just tha play which would please. "EIis Ter. rible Secret" or '0The Man Monkey" In which William H. Turner is starr ring this season, the chance has been taken and success has been grasped.
 This play is Chas E. Blaney's latest effort and is in the popular nelodra- matic class and furthermore has been pronounced by competent critics fully up to every accepted standard in plot, situation and personnel. The author in writing this play has followed in the footsteps of the immortal Dickens, believing that life depicted from life, as life is, is the supreme acme of the writer's art and therefore, in plotting, writing and staging this play, he has followed absolutely the happenings of every day life,
 MT Turner will be remembered for his impersonation of David EIarum MT. Blaney has written for him a play of mystery and romance. The story is as novel as "Cyrano de Bergerac, as startling as ''Dr. Jelyll and MT. Hyde" and as appealing and romantic as "In- gomar." The part designed for MT Turner gives him exceptional oppor- tunities to show his powers of charac- teriaation. The scenes are .laid in Cairo, Egypt, and the jungles 6f Afri- ca Prominent in Mir. Turner's sup. port are Miss Edith Yeager, David El- wyn and Richard Earle.
 The engagement is for three nights and Saturday matinee, commencing on Thursday night, September 5.
