MERRY WIDOW HATS
BARRED AT THEATER
Paris Police Project Takes
Hand in Issuing Order
Against Headgear.

PARIS. July $50 far as the Paris
theaters are concerned the Merry
Widow" hat of huge dimensions is
doomed. From today it may no longer
be worn in the stalls or dress circle Of
any Paris theater, nor any other hat
that shuts out a view of the stage from
those in the rows behind.
The theaters commission. under the
presidency of NJ. Lepine, project OF po-
lice, met, and in consequence of numer-
Gus scenes in various Paris theaters
during the past season. owing to women
wearing large hats and refusing TO re-
move them, decided that the wearing OF
hats Of excessive dimensions should be
prohibited in theaters Under penalty OF
a fine.
The presiding judge in the Humbert-
Matin case, which attracted a large
number Of fashiOnably dressed women
TO court, attempted TO solve the hat
difficulty the other day by dividing the
court into two parts-on one side men,
on the other women. The masculine
portion of the audience made no objec-
ton. but the protests from women, be-
cause only those in the first row could
see anything. were so energetic that
the judge had TO abandon the innOva-
ton.
Two men, who went to one Of the
boulevard theaters recently and were
prevented by the mammoth hats Of two
women in front from seeing the play,
adopted a novel form Of protest. They
went out, and returned accompanied by
a couple Of men with the enormous
broad brimmed sOmbrero hats worn by
market pOrters The newcomers took
the two seats, keeping their hats on. a
tremendous uproar cnSued, and peace
was only restored by the arrival of the
police commissary.

TO OWN IT'S WATER PLANT.
Kansas City, Kansas, Will Probably
Build in the Near Future.

Kansas City, Kan, April 2s.-Kansas
City, Kan, will build its own water
works system and pay for the plant by
issuing $1,250.000 in bonds, independent
of the present waterworks company,
If the decision of the majority of the
joint council and citizens committee of
sixteen is ratified by Mayor Cornell
and the council.
Fifteen members Of the committee
were present at the meeting last night,
and the vote was close, eight being in
favor Of the city building it's own wa
terworks and seven against the plan.
The Metropolitan company's fran
chise has two years yet to run and in
that time the city should be able, If it
begins work promptly, to complete its
own system Of waterworks.
The most serious obstacle, perhaps,
in the way of the committees plan will
be the sale of the $1,250,000 bond issue.
B. J. Lane, Attorney Henry McGrew
and others, who opposed the municipal
ownership idea, argued last night that
eastern capital will be very timid about
buying bonds, as long as the old Met
ropolitan company remains in exist
ence. They will always be fearing an
injunction against the city or some
thing Of that nature, it was argued.
The bond issue proposed will carry
or per cent interest and run for twen-
ty years.

EMPORIA HAS AN OFFER.
Ohio Capital Wants to Put in Street
Car Line.

Emporia, April 2S.-H. P. Will
hanson, of Dayton, o., is here to buy
the city electric light plant and put
in a street railway. Two years ago
Melville E. Stone, of Toledo, O., was
here on the same mission, at which
time the people of Emporia seemed
"set against any proposition which
had to deal with the selling of the
electric light plant. Mr.. Williamson,
of Dayton, said today that he repre-
sented private capital, and had
nothing to do with the company or
persons which Mr.. Stone represented.
A month or two ago Mr.. William
son was in Emporia for the first time.
He looked the plant over and said he
would go home to confer with his
people, after which he would make
the city an offer. Mr.. Glotfelter said
that he did not know that there
would be any use in him making an
offer, for he did not know whether
the town would consider the sale of
the plant. Mr.. Williamson said there
was nothing to prevent him from
making an offer, and he would do SO.
He returned to Ohio and mailed Mr..
Glotfelter a letter, which said his peo-
pie would give $4,000 for the plant.
Mr.. Glotfelter replied to this letter by
stating that there was no use for him
and his company to think of buying
the plant, for it was worth at least
$4,000. Despite this discouraging
letter, Mr.. Williamson returned to
Emporia last week.
The city council will take some ac-
ton on the matter.

He NEVER LOST A man.
Death OF Joe Bell Who Took 5000
Prisoners From the Tombs.

New York, April 28-There is sorrow
in the sheriff's office because of the
sudden death of Deputy Sheriff Joseph
BeII. captain OF the squad that takes
prisoners to Sing Sing. In IL years he
took $4,000 prisoners from the Tombs
prison and delivered them to the var
ious penal Institutions to which they
had been sentenced. He had the repu-
tat1on Of never having lost a man.
1t was Bell who took Harry K. Thaw
to the insane asylum at Matteawan.
Daniel O'Reilly, one Of Thaw's counsel
who went along, says Bell caught a
severe cold while conducting Thaw
from Ffshki1l Landing, to Matteawan
and that he really never recovered
from it. 81 guess that trip killed poor
Joe Bell" said Mr.. OReilly.
Among the noted prisoners to whom
Bell had been shackled were DR.. Sam
ue1 ]. Kennedy, tried three times for
murder; ZAP Adams, the policy king,
who after a term at Sing Sing COM
mitted suicide; Roland B. Molineux
who upon his second trial for murder
was acquitted; Salvador Governales
who killed two policemen in Washing
ton Square; Beiros Hampartzoomian
who shot and killed an Armenian rug
merchant: Albert Patrick, now serving
la life sentence for the murder of Will
liam Marsh Rice, and Thomas Tobin
who died in the electric chair for the
murder of Captain Craft.
Because he always spoke kind word
to the men he had to deliver at the
doors of prisons, Bell became known as
big Hearted joe Bell.
