Manager Finney of the Grand has a
great treat in store for the Bruins
wick theatregoers. Negotiations have
been carried on with the American
manager of Senorita Paulita Sher-
mana for some time and has just
closed a contract for her appearances
at the Grand Monday night and all the
week Except Wednesday,.
Speaking of Senorita Shermana and
her company of artists the Savannah
News has the following to say:
Success crowned the efforts of the
initial night of the new manager of
the Orpheum in pre- senting last night
one of the best vaudeville bills ever
seen in Savannah The feature and
surprise of the evening was the pre-
sentaticn Of Senorita Shermana, the
noted Spanish vaudeville artistic. Out
side of being without a doubt the
handsomest woman upon the vaude-
Vile stage the senorita has an act
which should be seen by every man,
woman and child in Savannah; while
it is an act seldom seen outside Of
the operate circles yet it is one which
appeals to all classes The marked
feature cf Senorita Shermana is that
she appeared upon the stage almost
without the use of facial makeup,
rouge or powder, her natural COM
plexion far exceeding any which could
be induced by artificial means"
Prices for this engagement VII be
1Oc zoe, zoe and soc. Seats viii be
on sale at the Grand Monday morn

Brown of Harvard"

Brown of Harvard" With James

in New York and Chicago has more
than duplicated the success of Strong

the first play supposed TO be faith

While appealing particularly to Har-

NOT READY FOR PROHIBITION
Consensus Of Opinion at Hearing on
District Liquor Bill.
Commissioner Mncfarland Suggests
High License Law, bat Others
Oppose This Plan.

That the District Of Columbia is not
ready for prohibition was the consensus
of opinion as expressed at the hearing
conducted yesterday by the Senate Dis
trict Committee upon the Anti-saloon
Leagues BILL introduced by Senator CAL
linger, proposing 10 regulate the liquor
traffic ia the District by a '1ocal-option
district" scheme
Commissioner Macfarland, T. NJ. Hare.
local superintendent for the league. and
others who appeared before the commit
tee expressed this opinion. and the ques-
tons asked by the Senators who were
present indicated that several Of them
held to this view also.
Mr. Maefarland opposed the bill, saying
that the Commissioners have their own
opinion as TO what should be done to
regulate the liquor business in the Dis
trict. He recommended making each i've
blocks In the city a local option district,
the issuance OF a license IA that district
being subject to the wishes OF the prop
erty owners and residents; raising the
wholesale license to $500 and the retail
license TO $1,000. and suggested other re-
strictions which he said the District board
favored
Mr.. Hare said that the league favors
absolute prohibition, but recognizes that
the District is not ready for such a
measure. He held that the effect OF a
high license IS merely TO raise the cost
of liquor 10 the consumer.
Louis p. Shoemaker opposed the bill. as
did Sam De Nedrey. the latter appearing
as representative of the Central Labor
Union. He said the working men want
the present law to remain unchanged
De Nedrey at times had sharp colloquies
with Senators. as a result of his out
spoken manner.
The hearing viii be resumed this morn
ing at 10 o'clock in os1er that represent
atlves Of the United German Societies
the Personal Liberty League, and the
Washington Mercantile Association may
state the attitudes Of those organizations.

Senator Bailey Vindicated," is, indeed,
deservedly laudable. and the sentiment
expressed therein should be received with
general approval, not only here. where
Senator Bailey is so we'll and favorably
known, but throughout the entire United
States
l have. in my limited way, for some
years been following the career of Sen
ator Joseph W, Bailey. and look upon
him as one OF the ablest men in the
Democratic councils. The resident Dem

Of the worth OF this valued Senator by
a public reception at an early date, IN
order that their assent might be given
In a general way, to the deserved vindf-
cation just given him by his fellow
countrymen of Texas.
If this suggestion should meet with
favor. you may list me as a member of

conclusion.

that uninstructed delegations 10 Denver
VIII be the rule in Southern States.
Georgia will send an uninstructed del
egation 10 the Denver convention" said
Mr. Hardwick yesterday
This is all the more significant. be-
cause two years ago Mr., Hs;dwick was
chairman of the Georgia state Demo-
cratic convention. which went on record
enthusiastically for the termination OF
Bryan for the Presidency this year.
Now, however. he believes the senti-
ments OF the voters In the State has
changed 10 such a degree that they want
their delegates TO go TO Denver free to
select the man whom they consider able
10 win.
This forecast OF what Georgia will do
follows closely the statement OF Senator
Smith. OF Maryland, that his State will
send an uninstructed delegation. and his
advice to all Southern States 20 take
similar action.
