The Conan & Harris MiEStrels Proved 2 Snappy Up.!O.date Show With
 Strong Features.

Lew Dockstader is still the premier minstrel man although Conan and Harris will make the genial Lew put forth his very best efforts in the burnt cork line of amusement if he does not wish to be superseded by the latest aspirants for the plam.
 The show which the above named managers presented at Smiths theatre last evening in which Honey Boy Evans was starred, although it con- tained at least three of the leading vaudeville acts of the past few sea sons. was one which seemed to be gen erally pleasing.
 George Evans. however, was overS shadowed in the performance by Julian Eltinze. billed as the worlds best fe- male impersonator. and we guess he remarkable one. His makeup was absolutely perfect it seemed and with a voice of singular softness and the ability to use it his work was a treat.

ED. CASEY "doES'' IN PHILADELPHIA

The crowds of sporting people in Philadelphia seem to be over enthusi- astic when Ed. Casey, the Bridgeport boxer appears among them. Monday night Casey refereed a match in the old town and received reception that would make President Taft blush The following challenge in one of the Phila- delphia papers will show where Casey no difference to me whom I box, I am in business to try to make myself a winner. and if the National Club wish es to match me with Jack Reed of Toledo or Jim Smith of Brooklyn, both of whom have challenged me, I am ready and in shape to accept either man. It is my desire to keep on going up the ladder and I shall always en- deavor to do my best. Ed.

Especial from United Press.) New York. March 10.-There was no shipping reporting on time in New York offices to-day as the result of a gray, clammy fog. so thick that it even got into peoples pockets. The cnly traffic line that wasn't seriously af- fected by the fog was the subway. On the surface and elevated and all the water routes. schedules were badly twisted.
 Boats on the Bay and rivers poked cautiously along. their bells and whist les sounding a continuous warning. Several collisions were narrowly avert they were safely across the gang plank.
 The Staten Island ferry. which is the longest haul. abandoned it's schedule altogether and rather than take chances. many of the Island remained at home. all morning waiting for the fog to lift.

CANS WILL TRY. ON JABEZ WHITE
Has Colored Light Weight Lost Grit
 Since Nelson Whipped Him?
Especial from United Press.) )

Nop0Cidl OllCe ITeSSD
 New York. March 10.-The ''old mas ter of the prize ring. Joe Cans. the Baltimore colored boxer, considered to be the best lightweight in the country, barring Battling Nelson. and who, since he lost the championship to the Dane has not been seen in action, will again don the mitts Friday night when he meets Jabez White, the English lighter in a ten round go.
 While many believe that Cans still has enough power behind his blows to put away any fighter. others believe that the negro'S health. which. it is said, has not been of the best lately, and the terrible beatings handed him by Nelson. have taken away some of Joe'S stamina.
 This is the second appearance of the Englishnan in America. his first en- trance being a few years ago when he went to the Coast and lost to Jimmy Britt.
 To the victor will be given an oppor- tunity to meet Battling Nelson in a ten round bout.

EXCISE BILLS.
Clergyman Calls All Liquor Men Grim inais-Dealer Finds Some Grim
 inalS Among, Clergy.


 Hartford March 1O.-Bitter words by both prohibitionists and liquor dealers marked the hearings yesterday after noon before the excise committee. A bill introduced by the retail liquor dealers association giving the right to saloon keepers to open their places of business on election day after the polls were closed was first heard.
 N. w. Kendall of New Haven said the law used to be as he wanted it, but it was changed by a ruse. The bill which changed it was a spite bill introduced into the House when Nor gan G. Bulkeley was governor, and in stead of being referred to the excise committee was referred to the judi ciary committee and, before the liquor men knew anything about it, railroad ed through both houses. In response to a0protest the governor refused to sign the bill and it became a law with out his signature. This law is more generally violated than any law on the statute books, he said. Men feel that it is unjust.
 H. H. Spooner of Kensfngton, speak ing in opposition, said: "It has been my privilege four times to oppose this bill. There is no injustice. Since the law was passed they have known when they took out their licenses that they were not permitted to sell on that day. As to the fact that it is violated more than any other law, who violates it? No one can, but the liquor dealers"
 Severin Johnson or New Britain ap- peared in behalf of a bill to close all saloons on election day and legal hol- idays He said that it was a disgrace to the country to allow saloons to be open on Christmas Day and Good Fri day and that the number of arrests on legal holidays was enormous.
 Rev. s. G. Ohman of New Britain, who stumped the state for O'Brien, for governor last fall, attacked the liquor dealers, saying that their arguments were but a confession of their sins and that the greater number of liquor dealers were criminals.
 MT. Guethlein said: "Our friend, the minister, has put. all liquor dealers down as criminals. I don't think it right because there are some crim- inals among the clergy
