LA TOILETTE LOSING MONEY
Prolonged Session of Congress
Costs Him $3.50 a Day.

Washington, July 19-Since last
Monday the tariff tieup has cost Sen
ator La Toilette, Of Wisconsin, an
even $4,000. He has been dropping
money at the rate Of $3.50 day and
he will go on dropping it at the
same rate until congress adjourns.
Now and then he may save a days
loss, but if congress continues in
session until after Aug. his aggre-
gate Of financial sacrifice will amount
to very fair years salary.
Beginning week ago the Wiscon-
sin senator had every day up to
nearly the first of October contract
ed for at the Chautauqua. He
waited until shortly before the time
for meeting his first engagement,
not being aware how soon matters
would 'break" in Washington, and
then he cancelled all his contracts up
to July p. It is doubtful now wheth-
er he can begin to meet his engage
ments next week, in which event a
further cancellation of contracts will
be necessary. Senator La Toilette
is not the only one in the box. Sew
eral other senators, mostly of the in
surgent variety, together with Sena-
ator Tillman, of the democratic
side, are among the sufferers. SEN
ator Tillman, however, is not allow
ing himself to suffer as much as the
rest, he having been absent from his
seat good deal the last few weeks,
and it is surmised he is making hay
while the SUN shinets without any
reference to its rays cast over the
national capital. Senator La Toilette
will be the greatest sufferer of all
in dollars and cents, for he has been
on the field longer and commands a
higher price per lecture.

ed yesterday from Seattle where
they went as delegates from Great

July 7 and continued in session un-

of welcome from prominent minis

the west.
Bishop Quayle, of Oklahoma, presi-

the address of welcome in a manner
that captivated his audience. During
the convention Bishop Quayle gave

"Shylock," and "Man's Work. The
lecture on the latter was given Sun
day afternoon July 9, in the armory,
which has a seating capacity of
nearly $4,000, and every seat was
hlled, so great was the desire of the
western people to hear the distin-
guished speaker.
The convention closed on the day
selected by the Great Falls Board Of
Commerce as Great Falls day, which
was not officially observed, however.
Mr.. Martin stated that there was

our friends remain with US and that
they take the latest car always is a
good sign that our cars follow the
times and are always up to date. Many
of the makers lose friends, am afraid,

WOMAN ENTERS ON
STAGE, ORDERS PLAY
SHALL BE STOPPED
Players in Extravaganza at Auditorium
Startled by Demented Girl Who
Claims to Be Queen Of
of Earth

While the chimes were ringing out
the hour of II o'clock and the prince
was hunting vainly for the fleeing Gin
derella at the fairy extravaganza at the
Auditorium ,theater yesterday afternoon
the big audience was treated to a Spe-
clalty which was not down on the bills
nor provided as an evtra turn by the
management.
Cinderella had disappeared, running
with all her might to get back to her
rags and hearthStone, and the prince
with the glass slipper was rushing
around trying to find this mysterious
"ladye of high degree when there
stalked on the stage a fair young
woman, clad in conventional street cos
tune, who held up her hand and COM
manded the performance be stopped.
The young women and men who were
taking part in the performance are not
trained to meet emergencies like this,
and they stopped as if rooted to the
stage. Their lines were forgotten, the
prince dropped the glass slipper, which
wasn't glass at all and consequently
didn't break, and the chorus scattered
to the wings like the frightened fairies
they represented. Only the orchestra
Of trained musicians kept right along,
and this alone held the audience in
check.
'I am the queen of the earth and the
handmaiden Of heaven" announced the
young woman, land this unholy per-
formance in a holy house must stop.
There is but one consideration whereby
it can continue, and that is that be
put in charge Of it,
By this time the stage manager and
q number Of stage hands had collected
their wits, and the young woman was
hustled further back in the wings and
the police telephoned.
Before the patrol wagon arrived,
however, the young woman had es-
capped by the stage door, and when the
officers arrived she was found in Cen
trail park and was taken to the deten-
ton ward of the receiving hospital,
where DR.. Sumner J. Quint examined
her and signed a certificate Of insanity.
The unfortunate young woman is
Miss Ollie Hurst Of 2119 Brandon street,
Glendale, painter of china, who from
overwork and the constant reading of
religious articles has become demented.
1t is believed a few months rest will
restore her to full health.

POLICE CONSIDER THEY
MADE IMPORTANT CATCH
Accused Has Been Arrested on Sus-
picion After Advertising for a
Partner in Manufacture of
Shoe Findings

A. s. Ross, alleged by the polics to be a
bunco man of national reputation in police
circles, was arrested in an Olive street hotel
early yesterday morning by Detectives Hosick
and Zeigler and booked at the central station
on suspicion.
When searched at the station $500 worth Of
diamonds and 1886 in cash found his
person, and at his rooms nearly $1,000
worth OF clothing, consisting of womens tailor
made gowns and coats
The police sent kilograms to San Francisco
asking for information, but the captain Of de-
tectives there says he knows nothing Of the
man.
Since coming to Los Angeles several weeks
ago Ross has been advertising in morning
papers for partner with money to enter the
manufacturing business. To all inquirers, the
police say, he has replied that he was about to
establish a factory for the manufacture Of
shoe findings.
Ross was arrested in Los Angeles several
years ago. when, it is said, he tried to obtain
money from the credulous by selling them a
half interest in a mythical manufacturing es-
tablishment.
The capture Of Ross is regarded by the DO
lice important one, but up to the pres
ent time they have no evidence connecting him
with the commission OF any crime in this sec
tion.
