Memphis. April 9.--Little Rock will have q theater te. cost, when colnplet- ed S50o00. IL will be placed under the management of the Weis inter ests, who controlled the Lyceum theater in Memphis, and most of the best shows in the country will be booked in 1t during 1910. John Gais- ford, architect. Is drawing plans of the theate-, and stated today 1t would te ore of the handsome st in the coun- try. aav!as & seating, capacity Of 1900. X contract for building the theater has been let in l.it*le Rock. < we|l- known Little Rock man Is enc of the largest stockholders In the company, aItaouEh Clarence Weis of Memphis and his father. who lives in New { York, are financially interested. Work will Dc started on 1t at once, and it will be completed in time for booking after January 1. 1910.
 Plan of the Building.
 The building, according to Mr. Galsford, will be constructed of brick and terra-cotta. The stage will be 40A75 feet. There will be four ladies parlors leading off from the lobby, and two club rooms will be arranged in the second story. While these club rooms will be directly over the prin- cipal entrance, they will in no way interefere with the theater patrons. because arrangements are made in thc p,:ns for private entrances d;- rect from the street to the cinb rooms.
 The plans show that four exits ba- side the regular entrances on each floor have been arranged for, thus avoiding fire accidents.
 Finest Interior Money Can Buy. No arrangements have been made regarding the interior decorations, but MT. Gaisford states that they will be the finest money can buy. "I have been told" said MT. Gais- ford, "that the owners of this theater wish to have one of the prettiest and most up-to-date playhouses in the country. and they will have it decor ated with entirely new designs and tastes"

PRESIDENT MELLEN
 GIVEN A HEARING IN BOSTON.
By the Massachusetts Railroad Com n1issioners on Charter Forfeiture.

Boston, Nov s.-"Publicity Is all right theoretically, but practically it works havoc with business" declared President Charles s. Mellen of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad. in the course of a hearing given him today by the state railroad commissioners sitting with the bank commissioner and the commissioner of corporations. The hearing was in relation to that portion of the last annual report of Attorney General Da- ma Malone in which he advised the legislature that the railroad company had subjected itself to the forfeiture of it's charter
 The company" said MT. Me1len, "does not come here feeling that it has .wilfully and willingly violated any of your statutes in any respect"
 He complained of the roads difficult ties arising from supervision by the authorities of different states.
 The great difficulty in this present situation" he continued. "is that our company has tremendous interests in the state of New York. We are at present expending there 335 5,000, ,000, and 1t may be, it may very well be, that we shall be obliged to build a subway into the city to take care of our suburban business Is it fair to our patrons who are to be benefited by those Improvements that we should he obliged to ask the consent of the authorities of Massachusetts before i've can issue the securities to pay for them ?'
 . He said the company believed it was subject to the laws of Connecti- cut only as to the issuance of all se- curities

oPERATIc WAR BEGINS
 IN PHILADELPHIA.
Performance of Aida" Given by Two
 Different Companies.

Philadelphia. Nov. 9.-The operatic war between the Metropolitan and the Manhattan Opera companies of New York began in this city tonight, when performances of Aida" were given at the Academy of Music by the former company and at the Philadelphia Op- era house by the Hammerstein forces. Both productions were on the highest scale of operatic art, and both houses were crowded with brilliant audiences.
 In the Metropolitan production Ca- ruso made his reappearance in Amer ica following his illness of last sea- son. Critics. pronounced his wonder full voice to be better than ever. He was assisted by Madames GadsId and fa Homer and Messrs, Hinckley and Anna
 The fea1ure of the Hammerstein Aida" was the first American appear ance of Mile. Mazarin, heralded as one of the greatest of French sopranos. Also in the cast were Mile. D'Alvarez and Messrs. Zerola, Polese and Scotti.
 The season which began tonight is to continue for 20 weeks at each house. The Metropolitan announces 26 per- fOrmances. while the Hammerstein company will give 120 performances, including 40 performances of opera comique, new departure for this sea- son.

A. F. OF L. RECOMMEND
 THAT5APPEAL BE TAKEN
To U. s. Supreme Court from Jail Sentence Imposed on Labor Leaders.

Toronto, Nov 9.-If President Samu- el Gompers. Vice President John Mitch ell and Secretary Frank Morrison Of the American Federation of Labor eventually have to serve jail sentences for contempt of court. it will not be due to lack of support from trades unionisms. The executive council Of the federation recommended to the convention today that an appeal be court. both in the Bucks Stove and Range company's injunction case and in the contempt proceedings growing out of it. That the convention will ratify the recommendation later in it's session seems certain, and that the three labor leaders and their fellow of- ficers will be reelected for another year is predicted
 A vigorous denunciatiOn of the use of labor injunctions and of the denial of trial by jury was embodied in the councils report today.
 The council reported a bill prOvid- ing for the organization of the old age home guard" to bo composed of persons more than 65 years of age who do not own property worth more than s1.50O or whose income does not ex- ceed s24O per year.
 If this bill is passed by congress, these persons may make application to the secretary of war for pension en- iistment." and shall receive from the government s12O per year in quarterly installments.
 A continuation of work among un- organized labor is urged and each af- fliated organization is asked more thoroughly to advertise the names of firms which employ union labor and conduct their establishments under sanitary conditions"

DlsFIoUREp BODY
 FOUND BY CHILDREN.
Cairo, Illinois, Shop Girl Murdered-
 Boodhounds Put on Trail.

Cairo. IL. Nov. 9.-Evidences that Miss Annie Pelley, Cairo shop girl, fought terrihcally before succumbing to brutal assallants last night. wero discovered today. Bits of torn cloth- ing strewcd the alley in which chil- dren today found her dishgured body.
 Her fight was destined Co be a los- ing one. for the slayer had carefully prepared gag and heavy cloth bands with which her cries were stifled and her strength overcome.
 Miss Pelley was a country girl of rather unusual strength and the po- lice believe that more than one person attacked her but there is no clew to their identity. Bloodhounds were put on the trail. but they led the police only two blocks. There the scent was lost. It is thought that the murderers boarded a car.
 The victim of the crime was 2i years of age She came here a few months ago from Anna. IT,. and had been liv- ing with a married sister. Miss Policy was on her way Co take car homo from her work in a dry goods store when last seen by friends. and it is thought that the crime occurred carly in the evening. probably 17 hours be- fore the body was found
 Miss Policy had with her eleven yards of red cloth for a dress and an alligator handbag. both of which are missing.
 Her parasol was found bent with the handle missing.

$25,oo0 WORTH OF COPPER
 STOLEN IN CONNECTICUT
During the Last Three Years-New
 Haven Junk Dealer on Trial

Waterbury, Nov. 9.-The trial of Samuel A. Alderman, a junk dealer of New Haven, charged with the theft Of copper on five counts from the Ben edict x Burnham company of this city and the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad. began before Judge Milton A. Shumway and a jury in the superior court this afternoon The complaint alleges that 6,161 pounds of copper, valued at $799 was stolen from the cars of the railroad company in this city.
 Some of the copper has been recov- cred by the local police in Waterbury and in New York state, and detectives are still engaged tracing the missing ingots
 There is widespread interest in the case. as the value of the copper stolen in Connecticut during the last three years is placed in excess of $25,OO0.
 Witnesses have been summoned from New York. New Jersey and Michigan, and the trial is expected to last all through this week and part of next week. States Attorney John P. Kel- logg is in charge of the prosecution, and Alderman is defnded by Attorney David E. Fitzgerald, the democratic leader of New Haven. and Judge Rich ard 1T. Tyner of the New Haven police court

BIG FOUR TREAsuRER's SHORT
 AGE RAPIDLY RISING.
RECORD SET IN SUCH CASES
Warriner Makes Confession, the De- tails of Which Are Not Made Pub Iie-county Prosecutor Has Facts.

Cincinnati. O., Nov. 9.-Apparently well founded reports tonight suggest that the shortage of Charles l.. War riner, formerly local treasurer of the Big Four Railroad company, who is now accused of embedding $643.000, may exceed S1,000, 900 and may possi- bly, reach $2,000.000. Those reports are supported by the fact that the rail- road officers caused Mariners arrest on a charge of embezzling s54,5O0 and later admitted that the amount would be at least $100,000. When that sum was raised to more than half million dollars rumors began to circulate that the total enbezzlement might reach a figure which would set new record in such cases.
 Believe Warriner Was BIackmaiIed.
 Whatever may be the culpability of persons alleged by Warriner to have blackmailed him for part of the loot, it appears that as far as the railroad of ficers are concerned they have no in- tentiOn of proceeding against others than tue defaulting treasurer. General Counsel Hackney today declared that he possessed no facts that would au- thorize prosecution of anyone save Warriner.
 T believe MT. Mariners statement" said Hackney, that he was blackmail- ca, put we have only his word for it and we cannot act on that. That is for the state authorities to do if they choose"
 Facts in Hands of County Prosecutor.
 The facts in the case have been placed in the hands of County Prose- cutor Hunt, who will place them be- fore grand jury next week Accord ing to Mir Hunt, there is a perfect case against both Warriner and the man whom Warriner charges as chief par t1cipant in the embezzlement As far as two women that have been men, tioned are concerned, both MT. Hack ney and MT. Hunt insisted that they had no evidence against them.
 Details of Mariners confession are still unknown to the public.
 Shakeup in Big Four's Finance System
 Asked how one man could juggle the accounts of a great corporation for so long time. without detection. a high railroad officer today said that a big shakeup was about to take place in the offices of the Big Four and that an entirely new system of conducting the finances would be installed.

HEALTHY AND DECIDED
 INCREASE IN BUSINESS.
Beginning of an Extended Period of
 National Prosperity

New York, Nov. s.-The country should let well enough alone as re- gards the tariff. says the National As sociation of Manufacturers in state ment issued today, discrediting cer- tain announcements that have been sent out of late indicating that the association was keeping up agitation on the subject.
 Some one has been issuing cireu- lars in our name" says the statement, stating that we are planning a cru sade for further tariff revision. This is untrue. Our reports from all parts or the country indicate healthy and decided increase in business. There is every proof of that we are at the be- ginning of an extended period of na- tional prosperity.
 The country has had enough of tariff agitation for the present and the people at large insist that the tariff act be given a fair trial before insug- urating any further agitation"
