THINKS DEAD MAN Is SON.
Mrs. Holt Believes He Perished in
MICHIGAN Mine Disaster

Mrs. Mary Holt. living at 9dS 25th street
northwest, believes that William Holt.
who lost his life in a salt shaft at Oak
wood. outside the western outskirts OF
Detroit Mich, last Saturday, as printed
in The Sunday Star was her son. She
had not heard from him for more than a
year and when she read the name in The
Sunday Star she reached the conclusion
that he was her son. Mrs. Holt con-
suited with Inspector Boardman. and has
sent a photograph of her son to Detroit
for identification She expects she Will
hear from there in two or three days.
William James Holt, whose age Is given
as thirty years. went away from home
about four years ago to work a tele-
phone lineman in the west. 4 little more
than q year ago his mother received a
letter from him at Los Angeles, but since
then no message has been received. Fear
ing the young man had become i'll or had
met with an accident. Mrs. Holt wrote
letters to a number of persons in the
west asking for information about him,
but her efforts to locate him failed.
Nothing regarding the identity OF the
William Holt killed in the shaft was
ven in the press dispatches. The shaft
I'm which he lost hlis life had been sunk
to a depth of $50 feet Holt and five
others were doing repair work 300 feet
beneath the surface of the ground. and
when the canvas tube which supplied
them with air became clogged the shaft

Belasco.

Julian Edwards new comic opera, The
Gay Musician" was presented at the
Belasco Theater last night before as
representative an audience as Washing
ton ever turned out to see play. The
music of the production is at times quite
pretty, the plot clear enough to make it
interesting, the situations at times very
amusing, especially IN the last act where
the two prospective brides get into a
pieteness in the performance here and
there which, doubtless. time will expose
and cause to be eliminated.
THE Gay Musician is clean and enter
tanning throughout. Washington audiences
have been put in close touch with several
whirlwind musical melanges the present
season, which may have spoiled their
taste for something of the soberer, saner
kind, but it is believed The Gay Musi-
cian' has that within itself which will win
full hand of playwright and manager have
combined in renewed attention to the
productions needs.
Amelia Stone, as the prima donna; Car
roll McComas. as the soubrette: Lottie
Kendall, as the composers wife. and
Martha George. as his mother-in-law
were good in the roles assigned them
This is especially true of the last named
with her funny dialect. and Carol Nc

trio dancing and nonchalant manner, was

was Haydn Clifford as the Hon. Charles
Beresford, and William S. Gill as the
breezy retired wine merchant
Joseph c. Mron looked the typical sea
captain and played his part we'll. The
chorus, male and female, was thoroughly
satisfactory, fair to look upon and vocally
excellent.
The plot, briefly stated. is as follows:
Eugene Dubois. a young composer has
written an opera, and In his great desire
to make 1t succeed indudges In fiirta-
ton with Maude Granville. prima donna
portrayed by Miss Stone). who falls in
love with him. This excites the ire of his
wife. who. urged by her mother martha
George. finally gets a divorce. Dubois
then arranges to marry Maude. but his
love for his wife Gottie KendalD is still
with him. The climax is reached when
Maudes father civilian GID hobs up
with a prospective bride. who is none
other than Eugene's former wife. An
interview between the divorced couple
and a rather sharp row between the pro-
spective brides result in Eugene remarry
ing his wife and Maude marrying her
manager. The remaining characters. with
their own love affairs. help to supply the
comedy.

ton Two other members will be picked
later. The vacancies were left open
yesterday to allow the election of rep
resentatives of denominations other than
those which had delegates to vest erday's
gathering.
The move for reorganization began early
in the fall. At conference between rep
resentatives of the Washington organiza-
ton and the national league 1t was de-
cided that the Washington league should
be similar in organization to those in the
states of the Union.
This would bring it into closer touch
with the national society. and. it was
believed. would provide a more effective
working organization. Since that time
the details of the reorganization have
been worked out.
Under the new plan the affairs of the
league are directed by board of trustees
To this body every denomination in the
city is entitled to appoint one member
Denominations having over 1900 men,
bers in the District are entitled to one
additional representative.
Under this plan. 1t is pointed out. the
leagues affairs are entirely In the con-
troll of the churches. Nearly all the de-
nominations have appointed their dele
gates on the board of trustees. The Cath
olc and Episcopal representatives are eX
pected to be announced in few days.
