Burlesque Show at a Gary

Aroused.

Several scandals have occurred re-
Gently at the Princess theater where
the management Is putting on a bur
lesque show that has, often been re-
ferred to as an imposition on the pub
lie. The names of several wellknown
men have been connected with the
chorus department of the show, the
manager, Joseph Neiman, even going
so far as to inform the newspapers
yesterday of a man whose name has
been connected with the chorus girls in
a questionable way, considering the
fact that he was a married man. Mr.
Neiman's purpose in doing this, it was
claimed. was for spite against that
particular party.
The show, which is not decorous to
say the least, has a bunch of actresses
which. though pretty bad on the stage.
are gaining a worse reputation on the
streets. Several social scandals have
been divulged in the past two days,
which, whether they have been exag-
gerated or not are sufficient so that
the police ought to take a hand in the
matter.
Police May Take a Hand.

STEEL MEN FREED
OF COLLUSIVE
BIDDING CHARGE

Boston. Mass, Dec, s.-Thirty three
American steel firms and individual
agents for steel companies were found
not guilty of collusive bidding for city
steel contracts in the superior court
yesterday after an eleven weeks trial
Sixteen of the defendants were found
not guilty by order of the court, and
the verdict on the remainder was
rendered by the jury yesterday. The
case was the outcome of a report of
the finance commission two years ago.
During its investigation of the busi-
ness affairs of the city the finance
commission reported that many steel
companies had combined to maintain
prices by permitting one of the firms
in the combination to submit bids for
steel work for the city of Boston.
The report created sensation and
was quoted by President Roosevelt in
a message to congress In April. 1905.

and participated in the demonstration
over the home coming of Willie Whit

Buhl Independent Rifles, national
guard company, and the Buhl Rifles
band, both named for Willie's uncle,
and thousands of people marched be-
hind them through the principal
streets of the town to the Whitla
home, where fully five thousand per-
sons assembled on the lawn, cheering
and giving every evidence of the pub
lie interest in the family Joy over the
recovery of the little wanderer.
The band took a position on the
front porch of the Whitla home and
played several selections. In the
front room were the Whitla family
and Detective Ward.
When calls were made for speech
Mr.. Whitla appeared on the porch,
accompanied by the Rev. Jos. McCar-

expressing the gratitude of himself
and family for the sympa thy of the
people which he said, had done so
much to help the family bear up cur

He suggested that children be taught
by their parents to fear strangers and
to make an outcry whenever any
stranger should attempt to induce
them to accompany him.
