RITTEHHOUSE COMES BACK
Colorado Insurance Commissioner
Makes Another Attack Upon
Provident Savings Society.

Denver, Colo, Jan. 23.-Commissioner
of Insurance E. E. Rittenhouse, refer
ring to published criticisms upon. his
report of the investigation of the Prov
ident Savings Life Assurance society
today, made the following statement:
THE interests who are condemning
the Colorado insurance commissioner
for publishing the true condition of the
PrOVident Savings society are the very
men who have violated their trust by
misusing and mismanaging the funds
of the policy holders. Although the
company stopped writing new business
on Dec. 2 all officers and salaries are
still retained. A motion at the direc
tors meeting last week to abolish these
offices and salaries and to correct this
outrage upon the policy holders, was
tabled by the vote of the interested fac
ton. They are neglecting the interests
of the policy holders now as they have
in the past The assets of the society
do not contain a single dollar belong
ing to either faction or to the stock
holders. They are simply lighting for
the privilege of controlling nearly 49,
SOC. 600 of the policy holders funds.
These factions felt their interests de-
manded that the Colorado report be
withheld and I believed the interests
of the 10000 policy holders demanded
that ii be published.
New York. Jan. 25.-Charles W. Morse
was a witness today before the spe-
eial grand jury which is making an in
vestigation into the affairs of the Prov
ident Savings Life Assurance society
of New York. Alfred H. Curtis, former
president of the National Bank of
North America. also appeared before
that body today.

Pres. FINLEY
TALKS OF TRIP
HEAD OF SOUTHERN SAYS HE HAS
FOUND THE CONDITIONS
MUCH IMPROVED.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31-President |
Finley, of the Southern Railway COM
s,.~.-y, "..o las Just returned to Wash !
inSton from an inspection trip of twoI
"ceks over Tie lines OF the system, |
found evidences of improvement in |
business conditions ana Of a general
d spOsition on the part of business
men throughout the south to take
hopeful view of the future. Speaking
Of the information he had gathered on
mis- trip, Mr.. Finley said:
fr.ces for pig iron are firmer,
southern furnaces. as rule, have
sold their product up to the end of
the year. and the increasing number
of inquiries for iron warrant the ex-
pectaton that orders will soon be
placed Tor business during the coming
year.
Lumber is more active than for
some months past. Especially is this
true OF the grades shipped in box cars.
The present demand will be augment
ed by increased requirements from
railways, principally for car repairs,
as some of the railways are contract
-ng with car companies for some of
their heavier repair work
"One of the most encouraging signs
Of Ieyhing Industrial activity is the
increasing movement Of steam coal
to industrial centers. The unusually
warm weather of the present fall is
re,ardiHg the movement Of domestic
coal
The cotton crop is early and the
fibre is moving to market in larger
volume than at this time last year, al
though, as a result of the stagnation
which has prevailed in the cotton
goods market, prices are lower than
year ago The demand for cotton
seed products is good and they are
moving freely
The domestic market for cotton
goods shows indications of gradual
improvement Owing to the accumu-
!ation Of large stocks and to other
causes affecting that market, there
is at present little demand for cotton
goods in northern China. Aside from
this, the export demand is fairly good
and those mills interested in the north
of China trade are looking forward
hopefully to a renewal of sales for
that market
Grain traffic into the south--espe-
cially corn-is light. This is due, in
part, to the relatively high price of
corn and the low price of cotton, and
in part to the fact that at this sea-
son of the year the south is consum-
ing its own grain.
Merchandise stocks which had been
permitted to run low during the busi
ness depression are being replenished
cOnservatively. Retail trade in the
cities is good. but as result of the
low price of cotton and of DISPOSE
ton on the part of retailers to buy
cautiously for the present, jobbing
trade is still somewhat restricted.
while some lines of business have
not yet shown as much Improvement
as might be wished, | believe that
conditions generally are decidedly
better than at any time since the be-
ginning Of the business depression
year ago. and that we have reason
to look forward TO a gradual return
to higher level Of prosperity"

Raymond Hitchcock and company of 75 mirth-makers in "The Merry Go-Round' will be presented at Poli's on Thursday September 10.
 Edgar Smith, formerly the librettist
 for Weber and Fields theater, is the author of Merry Go-Round." The lyrics are by Paul West and Gus Edwards, the well-known writer of popular songs has furnished the music. The, Merry-Go-Round" has been the favorite attraction of New Workers the last six months where it Bohemian Nights, which were revels of fun and .hiliarity ,, have become famous all over the country. The cast is. strong one. In addition to Raymond Hitchcock who, 1t must be conceded, is one of the funniest comedians on the American stage, there are many performers of excel lent reputation. whose specialties are really famous. .'The Merry-Go- Round" Is. an ideal entertainment of its class. It is utterly impossible to analyze. It is best described as a delightful compound of fun, melody and dancing, splendidly done by clever comedians, good singers and
 beautiful girls. Prices 25c to $1.5O.

Bankruptcy Referee Directs Him to Go
 to Pittsburs For Examination.
 New York, Sept. S.-Harry K. Thaw expects to be taken to Pittsburg Thurs day upon an order issued by William R. Blair. referee in bankruptcy, repre- senting the district court of the United States for the western district of Penn sylvania. Thaw is wanted in Pittsbure Friday morning.
 If the order of the United States referee Is carried out, there is suspi- cion that Thaw may never be returned to the Asylum For the Criminal Insane at Matteawan., It is feared Thaw may be able 10 gain his absolute freedom through a new writ of habeas corpus proceedings to be started in Pittsburg the moment he reaches the jurisdiction of Pennsylvania.
 The order directing the slayer of Stanford White to appear in court is likely to prove a test case of whether a man of Thaw's peculiar status in the eyes ef the law can be withdrawn from the jurisdiction of the state in which he is held, as there is no prece- dent.

RICHARD CARLE

"Mary's Lamb with Richard Carle and his merry crew of singers and dancers, comes to Polls on Fri day. September II. This sprightly musical play was one of the big sue cesses of the spring and summer season in New York, Chicago and Boston, running six months in those cities. MT Carle adapted the play from French farce, but he has made so many alterations and added so much of his own, that the bare skeleton of the original remains. The author comedian brings splen- did company, headed by Julia Ralph, Cecilia Rhoda. Nellie Brewster, Sylvain Langlois, Dewitt Mott and Harry Montgomery, and his chorus is said to be the last word in beauty and grace. Prices soc to $2.

THE WOLF"

"The Wolf" a three act drama from the pen of Eugene Walter, the newspaperman, who made his repu- tation with Paid in Full" was the attraction at Polls yesterday after noon and evening. Although the play is nothing more than a melo- drama 1t was well received. It is something of thriller and at the end of the second act where the vil- lain is foiled there is much oppor- tunity to give the company applause. Considering the number of com- panies on the road in this play, that at Polls yesterday was very cred itable The company looked famil- far with two ex-membars of Jacques Stock and a local boy. The local product was Frank Dee, who as George Huntley appeared to better advantage than in any other part he has portrayed since he entered theatricals. George o. Nichols, a favorite at Jacques last season in The Wolf has very difficult role and does well with it. Henry Dug gan. who until a few weeks ago played the heavy parts at Jacques, Is the villain. Severin DeDevn as the young French Canadian enacted his part finely and read his lines in the broken accent in way to bring him much applause. Miss Mabel Estelle is the only woman in the play The The ending of the drama is the odd est that has been in this city in a long time. If the management thinks the scuff1e between the hero and the villain is the more realistic in the dark, it is mistaken. The hero has to light matches to find his way of the stage.

 Committee - Calls Latter . Foe to Organized Labor.
 Chicago, Sept. S.--Willlam J. Bryan, the Democratic candidate for presl- dent, was asked If he had read the speech in which William R. Hearst attacked his record on labor matters.
 He replied that he had not, but that he understood that Mr. Hearst had made some criticism of him.
 "I am fighting Mir. Taft said Mir. Bryan. Either Mir. Taft or will be elected. If Mir Hearst will declare that he Is endeavoring to help elect
 Mir. Taft and Mir. Taft will indorse MT. ! Hearst as representative of Repub-
 lican ideas and Mir. Hearsts methods

 Denies Making Published Statement. T have not read the affidavits offer ed by Mr. Hearst or the Hearst speech" said Mir. Bryan. but can say that never said 'Workingmen are lot of public beggars'
 In an address at Davenport, Ia., William R. Hearst attacked Mir. Bry- an and Governor Haskell. the treasur- CT of the Democratic national commit tee, before crowd of labor union- ists. Mir. Hearst said that MT. Bryan when member of the ways and means committee of the house of rep resentatives in 1893 told members of the International Association of Win dow Glass Workers of the United States, Belgium and France that they lwere public beggars" for appearing before the committee to plead for the maintenance of the American wage  standard. Mir. Hearst said that MT. Bryan told the glass workers their employers were robbers" He pro- duced affidavits of these assertions. Attack on Governor Haskell. In his attack on Governor Haskell, who he charged was foe of union labor. in Muskogee, l. T., Mir. Hearst produced the alleged minutes of se- cret meeting of the Citizens alliance of .Muskogee, which contained roso- lution offered by c. N. Haskell, tenn Epofary chairman of the meeting. The resolution called attention to prospec- | tive union labor troubles and resolved that the secret alliance be organized Ito discriminate against any and all labor union men, not for the purpose of injuring the labor men personally, but to check this contemptible fanati- cism of trades unionism."
 MT. Hearst also attacked Samuel Gompers, who, he said, was asking the labor unionists to lay their bal lots in a basket, like dutiful political hensy so that Gompers might carry them to market and sell them to the highest bidder. s@.. The, national committee met here to- day to talk over campaign plans with Mir. Bryan and Mir. Kern. There were meetings also of the advisory and finance committees, and Chairman Mack talked with each member of the committee on the situation in his state. Efforts are being made to have Mir. Bryan make long swing through the far western states during October, and 1t is not unlikely that he may consent to make the tour.
