Probably the first of the so-called
problem plays" was DR.. Jekyl and
Mr.. Hyde, which was dramatized
from the immortal story of Robert
Louis Stevenson. Brilliant and erat-
ic Stevensonneve conceived a worl,
that brought him more fame that
this weird fancy of the duality OF
parsonage. And in like manner II
was, in a dramatized for the piece
de-resistance of Americas great actor
Richard Mansfield. No engagement
Of Mansfield was considered complete
without at least one performance OF
Dr.JekyT and Mr.. Hyde So strongly
did his play appeal to Mansfield
and such strain was 1t upon his
nervous force, that in the latter years
before his death he would only give
one performance Of DR.. JekyI and
Mr.. Hyde a week, and that on a
Saturday night.
Those who never saw Mansfield
play DR.. Jekyl, are now as unfortu-
nate as those who never saw Booth
play Hamlet. These two great act
ors and these plays will live forever
in the minds OF those who were for
tunate enough to see them
An opportunity to witness per-
Torrance of DR.. Jekyl and Mr.. Hyde
will be afforded the playgoers Of this
city on Saturday. March II. when the
Carl Lammelle's life motion pictures
will play return engagement at the
Grand. A matinee and night show
will be given-each performance last
ing two hours.
In addition to DR.. Jekyl and Mr..
Hyde there will be shown the Merry
Widow. Classmates, othello, Way
Down East, and a Russian Drama.
The most complete performance of
motion pictures ever seen in the
city. The prices for either the mat
inee or night performances will be
10 and 20 cents.

Experts Report on Chicago-Mi|-
Waukee Electric Line.

Chicago, Ct o--~Ten million dol
lars in round figures out of a total of
$18,000,000 put up by investors for the
bankrupt Chicago and Milwaukee
Electric Railway company has gone
into something else besides construc-
ton, according to reports of certified
accountants to the receivers appoint
ed by Federal Judge Peter s. Gross
cup.
The reports show that $S,454,000,
including the floating debt, have been
spent in the construction of the en-
tire road. Outstanding against this is
a total bond and certificate issue of
$16,000,O00 and other debts amounting
to $2,169,O00, making a total debt of
s18,169,000. The difference between
this amount and the money actually
expended on the road is $9,715, 900.
Only hazy idea of the ultimate dis
position of this $9,715,000 exists out
side the circle of the promoters of
the company. A tremendously large
amount was dissipated in the selling
of bonds at extremely low prices. I'm
til affairs are probed thoroughly the
investors will not know all of the
quicksand that sucked in their money.
The Wisconsin division of the road
is the most striking example of ex-
traordinary financing. The actual
cost Of the construction was $780,
900. Against this is debt of $751;
929.8O5.

declared that he had been offered
$4,000 and pension of 500 per

According to the statements made by
Blake to District Attorney Langdon,

sion he made in the open courtroom,
Martin Stevens, an attorney, was

alleged to have been executed by
Abraham Ruef, now on trial for brib-

Blake's accusations, refused to make
any statement except under oath.
Stevens was attorney for Blake when

BLAZE IN HOLD
!. BURNS five DAYS
Steamer Finally Reaches Port
= Under Her Own Steam.

San Juan, Porto Rico, - -..-The
steamer H. v. Luckenbach, from New
York for San Juan, arrived here with
the fire in her hold still burning All
her passengers and crew are we'll.
The former numbered thirty-one. The
fire was discovered at o'clock in the
morning of Oct. rs, when the vessel
was $50 miles south of Sandy Hook.
The passengers were at once awak-
ened and the small boats were brought
out, provisioned and made ready to
lower away in case it should become
necessary to abandon the steamer.
At 6 o'clock In the morning Of the
26th the steamer Philadelphia of the
Red D line sighted the plight of the
Luckenbach and signalled to her. The
Philadelphia answered, 81 am coming
alongside" She drew near and acted
as convoy until the Luckenbach
reached here. Both vessels came into
port together.
The heat and smoke from the fire
forced the passengers to withdraw
from their cabins and temporary cots
and eating tables were placed on the
promenade deck for them. It was
impossible to gain access to the hold.
The officers did not dare to open the
matches to combat the fire in the fear
that the draft thus created would fan
the flames. Holes we're bored in the
deck and all the steam it was pos
sible to spare from the engines was
forced through them into the hold.
Water also was pumped below. Sew
eral members of the crew were over
come by the fumes during the work
of putting these fire extinguishing
plans into operation, but they were
promptly revived.
All the straw votes seem to make
political hay for Taft and Sherman.

Prisoner Shot to Death in His Cell at

Kingston, Tenn, Got: CA mob
of about thirty men attacked the
Roane county jail and killed George
Cook, held on charge of killing John
King, ferryman, at Southwest Point,
a few weeks ago. OF the members of
the mob all save two were masked
and these unmasked men were stran-

the men intended to hang Cook, as
they had rope in their possession.
However, when his cell was reached
he offered resistance and produced a
razor. With this weapon he made a
defense and cut one of the men in
the mob. This, it appears. enraged
the invaders and Cook was quickly
shot dead.

GAME PROTECTION.

It took the American people just
as long to learn the necessity of
laws for the protection of the game
of the country as it did to learn
that means must be taken to save
the timber. The supply of game
was supposed to be as inexhaustible
as the supply of wood, and the
rifle and the ak were increasingly
busy.
There are strong game laws today
in nearly every state of the Union,
and in most of the states they are
fairly we'll enforced. Education
has done a good work, and the
younger generation of Americans
has been taught to shoot only in
season and then to shoot only the
birds and mammals that the law
allows to be shot.
The clause in the interstate CON-
merce law which forbids the ship.
ment of illegally killed game from
one state to another has served to
save several species of birds from
extinction. The market shooters
are afraid of Uncle Sam, even
though they are given to laugh at
state efforts to suppress their killing
trade. The Federal law has made
it fairly certain that deer, prairie
chicken, quail and some other animal
species will have long lease of life.
Sentiment and the law combined
aid in the work of saving the useful
song birds. The worst enemy of
the beneficial birds today is the
newly arrived immigrant. Many of
the Italians who go into the country
to work on the railroads and those
of them who live in the smaller
towns make song-bird killing their
common practice.
Other foreigners are not guiltless
in the matter. Game wardens can
not be everywhere, and in their ab-
absence the Italians, with their
cheap shotguns, kill robins, meadow
larkS, bobolinks and other birds by
the hundreds.
There are some Americans who
are just as bad, yes, and worse, than
the foreigners. The latter eat the
birds they kill. The former in the
sheer wantoness of sport will shoot
into flock of birds and leave the
dead and wounded where they fall.
1t is a common practice of some men
who probably think they are sports.
men to shoot into close flying focks
of black birds just to see the birds
rain down."
Education can reach some men,
but their own shotgun methods are
the Only ones that others will under
stand and heed. There is much be-
ing done to save wild life of the
country, but there is plenty of room
for the eypa nsion If effort

sponsible for the loans. If the loans
were not reported to the comptroller
of the currency, however, the omis-
sion was not due to any request made
by him and the act of omission was
without his knowledge.
Coming to the loan made by Wes-
10y M. Oler, president of the Amer
lean Ice company, on 1000 shares of
Ice stock, Morse said he had been as
sured of lasting gratitude by Oler be.
cause of his action in that instance
When his attention was called to the
testimony of Mr.. Oler in the present
trial to the effect that he had tipped
Morse to sell tho 1000 shares of ice
when the stock was selling at 80, but
that Morse had refused to sell, saving
that it would go to 10, Morse said.
IF he had wanted to sell that ice at
30 he could have done So It was his
own stock and not mine. I never re-
fused to sell it. The statement is
wrong"
FiatIy contradicts Curtis.
Continuing his testimony Mr.. Morse
hatly contradicted the statement al
legged to have been made to him by
his eo-defendant that he had "busted"
the National Bank of North America.
Curtis never said anything of the
kind to me-" said Mr.. Morse, when
his counsel questioned him with ref
erenco to this statement, which was
made by witness for the prosecu-
ton. 'The bank never was busted"
he was continuing, when the prosecu-
ton objected. His counsel protested
that the witness should be permitted
to continue and show that the bank
continued in operation until Jan. 81;
that it was then closed for liquidation
only; that all depositors have been
paid In full and that several million
dollars of real estate and securities
remain for stockholders. Judge Hough
sustained the objection OF the prose-
cutton. Morse spent much time ex-
planning his acts in connection with
the National Bank of North America
and maintained that everything he did
was done in the full light and in the
banks interest.
When Mr.. Morse started to tell of
conversation he had in this city with
Comptroller of the Currency Ridgely
In October and November, 1907, coun-
sci for the prosecution objected and
was sustained by the court. II want
to show" said ex-Congressman Little
field, counsel for Mr.. Morse, in argu-
ing against tho objection, "that Comp
troller Ridgely in those conversations
not only absolved Mr.. Morse from all
responsibility concerning the affairs
OF the National Bank of North Amer
lea, but even discussed going into the
banking business with him."
Morse said that since 1905 he had
done business to the extent of $685.

North America and his pass books
show that he always kept IAN average
balance of little less than 100000"
