The three stellar acts underlined
for the Temple theater next week are
new 20 this section Of the country.
and if they prove up to the high
praise given them in New York. the
patrons of the Temple are in for
rich treat Billy Montgomery and
Florence +. Moore in an original en-
semble of songs and dances, have been
detained in New York as headliners
for over year and If New York can
stand for il year Detroit should be
satisfied. la Petite Revue pre-
tcntious singing number OF seven
voices. celebrating an old idea, comes
here with much blowing Of trumpets.
and the management appears 10 be
satisfied that il will prove to be the
best vocal act OF the entire year The
third headline attraction is something
entirely different, as 1t shows three
Hawaiian girls in native songs, instru-
mental selection. and the much.talked-
about Hula dance. These girls come
from Honolulu where they are great
favoritcs at the festivals and bazaars.
Further along in the orde: OF listment

Mcintyre and Heath, in the Temple
theater this week, will be again sent
on tour by Klaw and Erlanger, and
the prospects are that they will be
exploited in different productions, just
as that firm exploited the Rogers

vaudeville and made rich.
The Vaughan Chaser company is
this week appearing in Toledo, where
they divide the week between The
House of a Thousand Candles" and

PRISON IS :
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Convicts Beat Helplessly at Doors
of Their Cells-Soldiers Stationed
at Doors of Prison.

LEAVENWORTH Kans., april L.
Soldiers from Fort Leasenworth are
making thorough search today in
the vicinity OF the federal prison
which was destroyed by fire Wednes-
day In an effort TO ascertain whether
or not any of the eight hundred con-
victs escaped
An examination will also be made
10 determine the cause OF the fire and
where IL started. II was at hrst be-
lieyed To have originated In the tailor
shop. but later Indications are that
the rubbish In the carpenter shop was
the starting point.
Vigorous action by United States
troops IS all tina, prevented a serious
panic. The prisoners awakened by the
panic and seeing the glare OF the fire,
set up great cutlery. fearing that
they would be burned TO death.
Screams OF terror filed the prison
and many OF the convicts beat help
lessly at the doors of their cells.
Several companies of soldiers were
ordered under arms and stationed at
the prison doors. The convicts we're
then brought out and transferred to
a stockade.
An investigation will be made to-
day OF tho reason for the low pressure
in the water mains. The fire started
at 10 o'clock Because OF the low
pressure It's Roadway was very rapid.
Hardly had the last prisoner been re-
moved when the walls Of one OF the
cell houses fell with a crash. The
property loss is estimated at s2OO'0Oo.
The prison records were rescued
from the administration building.
Today the prison officials are busily
engaged checking over the names OF
the prisoners Some have been re-
moved 10 the hospital and the whole
list will have to be gone over in order
to see whether any were lost in the
fire or escared during the confusion.

Does II Pay to Raise Boys?

Somebody has figured out that the
average boy who is dependent upon his
parents for a livelihood until he reaches
the age of twenty-one years costs them
four thousand dallars On this basis of
calculation brood, for instance, of six
boys would represent an outlay of
twenty-four thousand dollars by the
time they get away from the home roost.
The question arises does it pay to raise
boys and are there no other crops that
would prove more profitable7 If boy
turns out to be cigarette fend with
laugh that would make the untutored
breath like turkey buzzard and a
donkey feel perfectly at home in his
society and with an untrammeled and
unconquerable desire to avoid work, it
is safe to say that his parents might
have invested their four thousand dol
lars at much better advantage. But
if the boy goes up to manhood with the
lesson we'll learned that wealth and
success grow only on bushes watered by
the sweat of ones brow, the parents
need not begrudge whatever they may
have spent on him, for he will be a
source Of increasing pride and joy to
their hearts, and when they grow old
and their hands tremble and their legs
wabble and their step is,..,slow and
faltering they have two strong arms to
lean upon and help them over all the
rough places that lie in their twilight
path.
