JACQUES }
CAPTAIN SWIFT

Although Captain Swift" failed to awaken much enthusiasm at the Jacques last evening, nevertheless the play as presented by the Poli stock company was we'll enjoyed by the audience even though there was no great applause. But there were many we'll deserved compliments for the players. Although Captain Swift is an old production 1t loses none of its charm with age and to- day attracts an audience even more so than when 1t was first produced about twenty years ago. David Hartford as Wilding, alias Captain Swift, catches his audience this wee! as he has during the. previous plays. He has no difficulty in convincing it that he Is the peer of the big ma jori- ty of actors that enact leading roles in summer stock. His acting is such that 1t cannot fail to impress and there is every reason to regard him as about the best that has ap- peared at the Jacques during the summer season. Frank Charlton. who has been playing heavy parts, has a role this week which affords much opportunity and takes adyan- tage of the offering. It is very well done. In the absence of Miss Fan nie Nordstrom, who is a trifle i'll be- cause of her work in "Sappho" last week, Miss Cecile Holmes has the lead in Captain Swift" She makes an earnest effort. The moving pie lures, illustrated songs and phono- graph selections are furnished be- tween the acts.

FAILURES IN JULY.
Returns Make Best Showing of Any
 Month But One in Past Year.

Commercial failures in the United States, according to statistics com piled by Dun's Review, were 1882 in the month of July, with liabilities of <, $14,222,128. This is the lightest mortality of any month in the past year, with the single exception of May, 1908, and the increase in that comparison was less than $600,000. In the corresponding month last year there. were TIT failures involving $12,334,710 in amount. Manufac- turing failures. last month were 314 in number, against 211 in July, 1907, while the amount of liabilities was $5,835,018, compared with $4,449,- 226 a year ago. There were S71 trading failures for $6,160,713, whereas in the same month last year only 531 defaults occurred in this class and the amount involved was $4,802,907.
 Other commercial failures, in cluding brokerage, real estate, in surance and similarly partially spec ulative concerns, were forty-seven in number and S2,226,395, against thirty-fve last year, when the amount involved was s3,0S2,577. Failures of financial concerns, in- cluding banks and similar institu- tions not properly included in con- mercial failures, were. nine in num- Der and $35,250,146 in amount. In the same month last year there were four failures in this class with lia- bilities of s2,22S,945. The princi- pal increase is due to the assignment of the United Box Board and Paper Co, which cannot properly be classed with commercial failures.
 Again there is much encourage ment in the monthly statement of failures, despite some increase over the liabilities of the, corresponding month in recent preceding years, for these statistics indicate a steady im- proyement since the commercial death rate was suddenly increased last fall. Moreover, in a year of strain the July insolyencies usually show large increase over the the preceding month, owing to the half yearly settlements and the inven- tories and stock taking that disclose weak spots in the mercantile world. Thus, in 1903. liabilities in July were more than double those of June, $16,751, ,245 comparing with sS,326,654. But this year liabili- ties in July were only $14,222,126, against 14,70S,79S in June.

Senate Asks His Presence in
columbus.
Ways and Means for Alleviating
Suffering will be Under
Consideration.

Mayor Louis Scherff today re-
ceived a communication from A. p.
Sandles. clerk of the Ohio State
Senate, urging his presence at an
open meeting of the senate to be
called in the senate chamber at
Columbus. Thursday evening, Feb
ruary 27th.
The purpose of the meeting is
to consider ways and means OF
alleviating the industrial conditions
which exist in cities by such legisla-
ton as may be possible. A Senate
resolution. calling for this meeting
and demanding that invitations be
extended to mayors and directors
of charitable institutions of all cities
of the state, was passed Friday
morning.
The movement Is said to be the
greatest. for charity's sake that
has so far been started in any state
in the union. Owing to the lack of
employment and the depression in
business conditions thousands of
men are out of employment and
many families are suffering as a
result. Consequently the senate's
present move.
