AN U S E N E MIS-.
"Metz in Ireland. +"

The Columbia Theater's regular season
will open Monday night with Al H. Will
son, the sweet singing German comedian.
in his latest play Metz in Ireland"
somewhat of a departure from the char
acter Of the plays heretofore provided
for this attractive player.
During the unfolding of the story the
audience travels with the lovable Metz
in an interesting countryside land of the
Shamrock-where the cry of the Banshee
Is still considered a bad omen and the
country side rings with delightful stories
of quaint little fairies hidden along the
roadside. At the opening of the per-
Torrance Metz is the center of attraction
outside of Dolans Forge, on the road to
Klonikilty Castle, among bevy of Irish
lads and lassies, to whom he relates the
folk lore of Germany and sings several
tuneful love songs. He has lost none OF
his old time melowness of voice, and as
the plot of this new Wilson play is to a
certain extent woven around the songs
they gain double effect from its setting.
The sale of seats opens at the box Office
tomorrow morning and continues through
out the week.

"The Convict's Sweetheart"

For his theme in the new four-act
melodrama, THE Convict's Sweetheart"
John Oliver has used the adventures of
an escaped convict, backed by an unusu-
ally strong story of perfidy, love and
virtue. His hero is a young mining en-
gineer who is thrust into prison, charged
with a crime committed by another man.
The real culprit goes free and lives and
thrives on his ill-gotten gains. The con-
vict. after getting his freedom, by devious
ways, strewn with incessant peril sets
out to establish his innocence. After
many setbacks he eventually runs the
real criminal down.
Just how he succeeds, how his efforts
are beset with seemingly insurmountable
dangers. escapes and opportune rescues,
1t is declared, forms one of the most in
teresting and thrilling tales ever woven
into a play Of this kind. Sensation fol-
lows sensation. but the action is never
permitted to flag, even to the happy de-
nouement.
There are four acts and nine scenes in
the new play, which will have an ade-
quate presentation at the Academy the
week beginning Monday. September 13.
with the usual matinees Tuesday, Thurs
day and Saturday.

GlRBAGE AND REFUSE SERVICE
AUTHORITIES PLANNING TO
MAKE IT MODEL
Conference Of Officials With Conn
missioner West-Transfer Sta
ton to Be Relocated.

Looking to the placing Of the garbage
and refuse service of the District on a
model basis, Commissioner West and
Superintendent Wood of the street clean
ing department held a conference yes
terday with Harrison Stidham, manager
of the Washington Fertilizer Company,
the present garbage contractor.
The removal of the present garbage
transfer station at New Jersey avenue
and X street southeast to some point
remote from dwellings. either In or out
side of the District, and the introduction
Of the most improved methods in vogue
in other cities are among the contem.
plated projects.
In view of the possible increased cost
resulting from the transfer Of the gar
bage station in the southeast and the in
PRODUCTION of innovations for the i'm
provement of the service, and also In
view of the fact that the contracts for
the removal Of garbage ashes and refuse
will expire June 80 next. Commissioner
West notified Mr.. Stidham that he would
recommend to the Commissioners that
proposals for the renewal Of those con-
tracts be invited shortly after January 1
This would make 1t possible to include
the amounts necessary Tie ucW
plan in the District appropriation bill
which will be under consideration by
Congress during the winter.
New Site in View.
During the discussion of the problem
Of the collection and disposal of garbage
ashes and refuse this morning the pres
ent location of the transfer station in the
southeast received much attention. Com
missioner West informed Mr.. Stidhan
that proposals would be asked based no,
only upon the location of the transfer
station within the city limits, but also
outside of the District.
An available section outside of the city
is at the south end of the Highway
bridge, but 1t is realized that If this
site should be selected it would add
considerably to the cost of removing the
garbage. Several problems will have tc
be solved before the matter can be sat
isfactorily arranged and it is not unlike
ly that Commissioner West and Supt
Wood will visit number of cities te
investigate the methods by which col
lections are made in those cities and also
as to the disposition of the material col
lected.
Commissioner West believes that by
adopting the most improved methods now
in vogue in other cities the service here
can be put upon a model basis.

BEER BY THE KEGFUL.
Kings Source Of Supply, However,
Is Rudely Cut Of.

Grover Cleveland Kings appetite for
beer. which he modestly admitted he con-
sumed by the key full. led to a six-month
sentence in Jail this morning, imposed by
Judge Mullowny of the Police Court after
short trial upon charges of petit lar
ceny. King was charged with taking
four kegs of the amber-colored tonic from
the local branch of a western brewery
upon two different occasions.
What did you do with it," the de-
PENDANT was asked.
Drank it, Judge: like it, he replied.
Every bit of it?"
''Yas. sir. That supply lasted a week.
Policeman Boyle and Russell. who made
the arrest told the court the brewery
branch. located at LIST and Delaware ave-
nue. southwest, had been reporting nu-
merous thefts of key beer from its
storage rooms. They decided King knew
something about it and arrested him.
King, the officers say, admitted appro-
priating quarter kegs whenever his
thirst demanded quenching.
He explained that he kept supply al
ways on hand at his home.' Boyle told
the Judge, "and then chopped UP the kegs
for kindling wood"
The defendant up to the time of his
arrest yesterday had been in the en-
ploy of the beer agency for about six
years.
