ACTORS FACE TRAGEDY.
Want Will Stalk Along the RlaIto
This Summer.

New York, May 23.-The coming
summer gives every promise of being
the hardest one in years for members
or the theatrical profession. 1t has
been long time since there has been
as disastrous season Electrically as
the one just closed, and there Is no
prospect Of any better times for the
actor for many months.
In the height of the season II was
estimated that more than 1000 actors
and actresses were out of work in New
York, the largest number OF unem-
ployed in the profession for many
years. Several hundred companies
that started in the season with every
prospect Of success were forced to
close soon after the coming Of the
financial depression, which followed
close on the opening of the theatrical
season.
For this reason, even of the actors
who secured positions, thousands
were forced to be satisfied with very
short seasons and were, therefore, I'M
able to lay by the amounts required
to keep them through the summer
when work in their profession is al
ways slack.
The Actors Fund. the great char
ity of the theatrical profession, is not
in position 10 carry on the work
which it will be asked to do, for at
the annual meeting held a few days
ago a deficiency of more than 500, 600
on the years work was reported.
The question of living through the
summer is a serious one to hundreds
of players, and Coney Island and
other similar resorts are overrun with
members of the profession, who are
seeking work of any sort that will
provide food for the summer months.

Grand Island Independents: John
Mates, jr., president of the Sons of
Hermann of Nebraska, who impressed
many even outside of the order with
his earnestness, his ability and his
capacity for large duties, Is mentioned
as a candidate on the democratic tick
ct for secretary of state. Were it GER
tain-instead of otherwise - that the
next secretary OF state would be a
democrat, that party could not do bet
ter for itself or for the people at large
than to select the Nebraska City man
mentioned. 1t would be a recognition
of the German population of the state
as well as a nomination for which the
party would never have cause to re-
gret. Any man of the ideals expressed
by Mr.. Mates in his address on "The
German in politics" is likely to make
good, honest and efficient officer
The national convention of the
Travellers Protective association will
be held in Milwaukee, Wis, beginning
June % and will continue throughout
the week. 1t is expected that there
will be an attendance of between 5000
and 5000 travellers and their friends
on this occasion and the Wisconsin
division is making elaborate plans for
their entertainment. The business
sessions will dispose of a number of
important matters of interest to the
travelling public. One subject of i'm
portance will be the encouragement
of legislation in all states and in con-
gress to bring about the use of steel
! tire-proof cars on all railroads. 1t has
been calculated that the largest per-
centage of loss of life and limb on
railroads is due to the telescoping and
burning of cars in train wrecks, which
renders it impossible to release the
victims before it is too late to save
their lives. The entertainment pro
gram for the week is especially elab-
crate and will tend to sustain the
reputation held by Milwaukee as a
convention city.

Takes up Lawn Competition Again.
Next Meetinu a Smoker.

The Norfolk Commercial Club Aux
Hilary, at its meeting last evening,
took up the question of a lawn com
petition again. 1t was agreed that it
would probably be best not to ask
Norfolk avenue merchants to contrib
ute the prizes but to vote prizes with
out outside soliciting. The auxiliary
voted to divide the expenses of the
prizes with the parent club if the
club directors would agree to the
plan. The WOman's club is willing
to take charge of the competition
again.
The Auxiliary voted for immediate
efforts to increase it's membership.
The next meeting will be in the ma.
ture of a smoker.

SHELDON FOR VICE PRES.
NEBRASKA GOVERNOR MAY BE

While Governor Sheldon Refuses to

Reported From Lincoln That He

Lincoln, Neb., May 27-While Gov
ernOr Sheldon declines to take the
matter seriously, an effort is to be
made by the republican delegation

would be good politics to name Shell

vice presidential candidate.
1t is figured that Hughes will not
the indications now are that he will
be again a candidate for governor of
New York; that Fairbanks will refuse
and that Cortelyou will be offensive
to the west. Therefore it will be good
politics to make a western man Taft's
running mate.
Governor Sheldon does not believe
that the west will be considered in
the makeup of the ticket. He says
that fasteners class Taft as a west
ern man, Ohio being west of their
horizon Of vision, and that the east
will insist upon naming the man for
second place. This is not conceded
by the Sheldon boomers, but the gen,
eral impression of the politicians is
that the republican leaders are fear.

off any such catastrophe to have a
