Allie lS

Only few people, braved the rain
last night to hear Harry Beresford in
the farce comedy, who's Your
Friend" but they were well repaid for
their trip through the storm for this
odd comedian was at his best in a
play peculiarly adapted to his talents.
The small audience laughed as loud
and cheered as hard as though the
Beresford had to respond to more than
one curtain call. The plot of the
piece was strikingly new and original
and carried through to the end in
extremely clever fashion. An old in
ventor, living with his daughter and
second wife, has fallen into the
clutches of money lender through
his care1essness in the conduct Of his
business affairs and in his dire
straights even wishes that he might
sell himself to the devil in order to
provide for his daughter and save his
home from the sheriff. His daughter
reads him the story of Faust that
night and he becomes so carried away
unfortunate hero of that adventure
with Satan that he repeats his wish
that he, too might have the same ex-
perience. He repeats the incarnation
which brought forth the devil and at
this moment, in the midst of a storm
raging outside. the door of his room
is thrown violently open and tall.

head Of big wooden factory, had
come to seek the inventor and buy his
patents and had called that day and
male an appointment 10 met the in
ventor of which the servant had for
gotten to apprise her master.
The millionaire, whose name,
strangely enough was Nicholas, often
called Mick" advanced at once on the
inventor and without preamble urged
him to sign the contract by which he
delivered himself over to the pro-
prietol .hip of the 1l:in who came out
Of the storm. The inventor, paralyzed
with rear and believing firmly that the
devil had come in answer to his wish
and is making him an offer of wealth
and power in exchange for his soul,
signs the contract. The sequel to this
complication of misunderstanding is
funny enough to make an anchorite
laugh Mr.. Beresford sustained his
difficult part to the end of the play
and his audience paid him reverence
by laughing until the tears came The
lines of the play are very clever and
show a genius for carrying through an
impossible situation in a most natural
manner. The old inventor, with this
powerful and unknown friend behind
him, swept away all his obstacles and
faced his troubles with supreme con
fidence that he had all the powers of
hades on his side, but fearful through
it all of the great price he would have
to pay.
Only Max Ffgman in his "Substi-
tute'' has provoked the laughter in the
Grand this season that Beresford did

TAFT ASKS EXPLANATION
Calls on BaIlinger for Definition OF
His Policy.

Washington, Aug. 26.-President
Taft has instituted searching inves-
tigation of the interior department be-
cause of facts that have been brought
to his attention in connection with
the taking up by private corporations
of valuable coal lands in Alaska.
Secretary Richard A. Ballinger OF
the interior department, Assistant
Secretary Franklin Pierce and Fred
bennett, commissioner of the general
land Office, have been called on by the
president for explicit detailed infor-
nation as to these coal land troubles
and their connection individually with
the matter.
Specifically the charge to be met by
the interior department officials is that
they have rushed matters to permit
the approval of entries to valuable
coal lands without giving proper time
to the hearing of testimony of COM
plete investigation of the charges OF
conspiracy.

Six Dead and Ten Others Nor
tally Wounded.
WILD THE At Mixes ROCKS
Trouble Follows Attack on State
COnstabuIary.

pittsburg, Aug. 23-Following one
of the most fatal and desperate strike
riots experienced in the vicinity OF
Pittsburg in over a score of years a
quiet but tense situation prevails at
McKees Rocks, the scene of terroriz-
ing conflict between state, county and
special police and striking employees
of the Pressed Steel Car company.
Although twenty-four hours have
passed an accurate list of the casual
ties is still unobtainable. Unofficially,
however, six we're known to have been
shot to death and two others believed
to have been killed, but carried away
in the confusion; dozen men, both
strikers and police, were in hospitals,
perhaps fatally injured, while at least
two score men, women and children
were suffering from bullet wounds
and injuries inflicted with clubs and
stones. The dead are:
Harry Exler, deputy sheriff; George
Millhaszer, striker; John L. Williams,
trooper Anton Gubernet, striker;
John G. Smith, trooper; unidentified
white man, believed to be striker.
Of the probably fatally wounded
three are members of the state con-
stabulary, the others being strikers or
others participating in the riot.
Among the several score injured ten
are in a precarious condition and it is
stated at the hospitals most of them
will succumb before many hours.
i Property Loss Also Heavy.
Aside from the human sacrifice
property damage amounted to thou
sands of dollars. Three street cars
Were wrecked, many vehicles smashed,
khe streets Uttered with window glass,
close to 100 doors of houses broken
and a half dozen horses shot to death.
Every one within the strike district
Is being stopped by the police and
thoroughly searched. The possession
Of a revolver causes detention in the
mx car jails, while those carrying
large sized penknives are relieved of
them and escorted outside the strike
zone.
Orders have been issued to the con-
Btabulary, deputy sheriffs and special
police to shoot at the first sign Of
Trouble. The practice of the past sew
eral weeks, of firing into the air, was
abolished, the order being shoot to
kill"
An investigation shows the rioting
to have been caused by three new
members of the state constabulary,
who refused to obey the commands of
strikers when ordered from street
car These troopers, on their way
frc,.l Greensburg, Pa, to the plant,
were in citizens clothes. All we're
armed. For weeks the strikers have
been holding up street cars and order
ing the occupants of them out. Here
kefore all have obeyed. However, the
lhree troopers and deputy sheriff,
oil being armed, refused to be ordered
about by the strikers. They resisted
and a battle ensued.
