GOOD SHOW AT oRPHEUM

The usual full house of regulars that
turned out at the Orpheum matinee
yesterday had the pleasure of being en-
tertained by a galaxy of stars that
shone just as bright as any who had
treaded the boards at the popular
vaudeville house for long time.
The Countess Olga Rossi, a beautiful
and talented subject of Car Nicholas.
and Monsieur Paulo charmed the crowd
with their clever little creation en-
titled During the Performance" The
piece took well and the performers
were given a hearty welcome. st. Onge
brothers. renowned cyclists, performed
some hair raising feats on bicycles and
were recalled several times. Their ac.
is both interesting and amusing.
Ferry, "the human frog" made his re-
appearance after a long absence. That
the crowd was as glad to see him as
ever was attested by the rounds OF ap-
plause that greeted him when he ap-
peared. His work is as good as of old.
The Abdullah brothers proved to be ac-
robats Of more than ordinary ability
and made good with the audience.
The -holdoyers, Arthur Dunn and Ma
'rie Glazier. the Bootblack quartet,
Frederick Hawley and company AMI
Hayes and Johnson. all had something
new and entertaining to offer.

IRISH ATTACKS UNIONS

Schnitz if Given Opportunity

FRESNO, June 1e.-"If Schmitz were
again nominated for mayor, with all
that is known Of him, the labor union
vote of San Francisco would re-elcct
him. said John p. Irish here yesterday.
IrisH is here on visit and has talkcc
freely Of conditions in San Francisco.
The city government Of San Francisco
before the recent upheaval he charac-
terized as a creature OF the unions and
their leader
The San Francisco government,
said Irish, was a union labor govern
ment. It adopted labor union methods
and Abe Ruef was the walking delegate
Of the labor union government. Labor
control anywhere means the utter eX-
tinction of public moral sense. The
laboring classes Of the country are un-
touched by any moral consideration OF
any Kind. While the recent verdict
was the sentiment of the better classes
of the city, its present meaning is lost
in the significance as a passing phase
Of the great struggle going on between
the laboring class and other citizens"

MYSTERY SURROUNDS

of Murderous Assault by
Unknown Thugs
BULLET PIERCES EAR
Woman Is Attacked in the
Street While on Way
toHer Home
BULLET PIERCES EAR

TONOPAH. New. June 16.-TOnopah
has a mystery involving an alleged at
tempt at murder. with robbery as the
motive. The victim is Mrs. Irene Clark
daughter of Judge Young of Reno
The alleged assault was made on last
Thursday night on Bryan avenue
within a stones throw OF the main
street. Mrs. Clark states that she was
returning home shortly after o'clock.
when two shots were fred at her and
she fell insensible on the roadside.
When she recovered consciousness her
gold comb and $50 were missing.
Mrs. Clark has bullet hole through
her right ear and an abrasion on her
right cheek. She also has a confusion
on her left breast. Not until yester-
day afternoon did she consult a physi-
clan, and the police had no knowledge
of the assault until late last night.
Chief of Police Malley has been work
ing on the case, but has no solution to
offer.
Mrs. Clark came here about a week
ago and engaged a handsomely fur
nished residence on Bryan avenue.
Contrary TO her usual custom. she
dined downtown on Thursday night
and left for her home about 3 O'Clock
alone. She was within a block of her
house when the assault occurred The
same night she telegraphed TO her
sister in Reno and TO her brother in
Goldfeld that she had been shot and
robbed. They arrived here yesterday
and are uncommunicative regarding the
case. The sister is Mrs. Jones. wife of
Charles Jones, former district attorney
of Reno.
Strangely enough. no one living ir
the neighborhoOd of the assault heard
any shots or any disturbance.
Mrs. Clark is the wife of c. c. Clark
of Oakland, from whom she has been
separated for some years. Her first
husband was an operator named Black
and lived in Reno. Both Mrs. Clark
and her relatives have shrouded the
case in as much secrecy as possible and
the police are working quietly on the
case in the hope of apprehending her
asSailant.

Because he took it upon himself to
levy a boycott on the saloon conducted

James Leddy, a shoe maker. was ar
rested and locked UP in the city prison

According to the shoe makers story,
the liquids passed over the bar of Tall
mans place are as bad any ever
manufactured in Kansas. Leddy claims
that a mild solution of knockout
drops" is often mixed with the fluids
at Tallman's saloon. Leddy says he
knows this by experience and that he
was given a sleep producing potion there
several days ago and then relieved of
SIS. In order to avenge himself on
Tallman he had handbills printed boy

You Never Can Tell is as indis-
criminate in it's iconoclasm as are most
of the other preachments and discus
labeled plays.
Some of them are not even near plays.
This staged story centers around an
advanced woman of literary bent.
who abandons her prosaic husband and
brings up their three children in ignor-
ance of his name and identity. After
Is years the entire family is reunited
through a chain of circumstances that
is almost impossibly singular.
Not only does the author rudely and
rather logically ridicule the sacredness
of family relationship, but he ignores
most Of the stage usages which we
had come to regard as indispensable to
the intelligibility of drama. He omits
elements which all other playwrights
evidently consider vital. His plot is
ever obvious, his situations begin and
end as if he neither knew nor cared
what climax building meant, and his
characters are untheatrically natural.
Yet, with all it's twitting of cher
ished domestic institution and its struc-
tural effectiveness, the comedy is in
tensely interesting. BY Its very oddity
Fand literary brightness it charms.
If you have chuckled at The New
York Idea you will relish You Never
Can Tell" for each of the offerings is
satire on the new woman-or on
woman's half fledged resolve to be diff
ferent from the old fashioned house
wifely ideal. The New York Idea, .
however, is treated from a decadent
viewpoint, while "You Never Can Tell
is of healthier tone.s,: shay delves more
deeply than Mitchell into the revolt of

to convert everybody to her self

children are against her particular kind

there is a deal of fun as well as plenty
of truth in Shaw's philosophy.

Chief Jailer Edward Kerwin asserted
Yesterday that there was no thought
Of Schmitz' removal from this jail 20
another and that he was being treated
the same as any other prisoner. De-
spite this, the orders of Sheriff O'Neu
have paved the way for a different
style of treatment in his particular
case from that usually in vogue, and
as a consequence his guards have
adopted something of the attitude of
genial hosts in their treatment Of him.
But while Schmitz' room is better
than the average in the jail. it is
nevertheless a prison house. 1t is as
plainly furnished as a room in an
army barracks and much resembles
one, except for the bars at the win
dows. It is on the second floor Of the
Jail and within sound of the voices of
the criminals confined in the larger
quarters.
SchmitZ has not shoWn any sign -
breaking down under the indignity OF
confinement, except that he has grown
morose and the lines drawn by the
mental strain to which he has been
subjected are becoming deeply set in
his face. He slept wei Saturday nighr.

terday morning and took his exercise
in the jail corridors before the ma
jority of the prisoners were awake.
