Little Miss Verle Keller, though tot of eight, is exceptional ly proficient in her parts, as is also Miss Madge Won Teller, Prof Felix Keller, cornetist, also contributes his share to the enjoyment of the even ing's entertainment.

PINDALL TO BACK KIRBY
WILL SUPPORT FORMER POLITE CAL ENEMY FOR SUPREME
 JUDGE.

Little Rock, Nov. 1.-Unsolicited and entirely unexpected is the an- that Senator X. o. Pin dall, former acting governor, will sup port former Attorney General w. F.. Kirby in his race for associate jus tice of the supreme court. It is not a case of politics making strange bed fellows. for Senator Pindall was not solicited to cast his support to Gen eral Kirby, doing so of his own ac- cord. During the two years Acting Governor Pindall held office he was a bitter enemy of Attorney General Kirby, and the two men never had a kind word for each other. As it was a case of personal dislike, as well as political, it was supposed they would never be on the same side of any question, hence the surprise of many who have been informed Senator Pin dall will do what he can to assist Gen. w. F. Kirby become associate justice to succeed Justice B. B. Battle.

The main corridors and library rooms on the first floor were thrown into one large hall, where the many ghosts were received, with much pomp and ceremony suitable to such an occa- sion. Other small rooms on the main HOOr were iildue IiiIo iioiiic9 io1 'i'N witches" and many were the myste- rious sounds and noises that came forth from them. After enjoying themselves with the usual Hallo- ween games the students gathered in the large auditorium, where the "ghost" scene from Macbeth was pre- sented by a number of witches. A large pot was arranged on the stage with the appearance as if a real fire were built under it, and at a signal the auditorium was darkened and the dance of the witches began, all of whom were dressed in ghostly white Their chants, together with the many white forms here and there, gave the scene an appearance which made one think that he was in some far off and lonely land where only ghosts lived Several musical numbers and other features made the evening one to long
 be remembered by those who attended the entertainment. The usual Hal | loween refreshments were served
 throughout the evening by Misses Ida Walran and Margaret Rose, assisted 1 by dozen young ladies dressed in h. ' dian costume.

DEAF HEARD AGAIN
IN THREE MINUTES
FASTENER SEEMED TO WORK
MIRACLES
Gives Remarkable Demonstration Of
New Preparation-Many Were
Deeply Affected Upon
Hearing Sounds

Some astonishing demonstrations
were given Monday afternoon by l.. L.
Cooper, the man who is now in Los
Angeles introducing the preparations
which have been so widely discussed
in the east.
Cooper is meeting the public at the
Owl Drug companys store, 90 South
Broadway. and at this store the demon
STATIONS took place. They consisted OF
a single application of one of the Coo
per preparations in the ears of num-
Der of deaf people, the hearing pelnS
tested before the application and again
three minutes later.
The result of this application was
truly remarkable. In several cases IN
dividuals who stated they had been
afflicted with deafness for many years
heard A watch tick when held foot
away from the ear, or the snap OF a
finger at distances varying from ten to
twenty feet away.
All tests were made within three
minutes from the time the preparation
was first applied. Many of those who
received the demonstrations became
much excited when conversation in an
ordinary tone was addressed to them
and they were able to hear 1t. One ell
derby woman broke down completely
upon suddenly hearing the noises about
her and the conversation of her
friends.
Among those who received the dem
onstration was Mrs. William Miller OF
2318 Huron street. Shortly afterward,
when interviewed, she said: 81 don't
know how it was done, but I really do
hear. I can't believe any medicine on
earth could do this, yet this seems to
have made me hear. The worst part of
my distress has been head noises. These
have stopped and my head feels clear.
The strangest part of it is. the noises
of the streets. I had forgotten how
loud they were My deafness has been
caused by catarrh. 1t has only been
real bad for five years, but 1t was
coming on slowly long before that"
Cooper, in speaking of the demon
STATIONS, said "There is nothing
miraculous about it. The remedy is
only effective In cases of deafness in
duced by catarrhal condition. Such
cases can, as you see, be relieved at
once 1t does not follow that man
deaf from birth can be made to hear
in three minutes. or, for that matter,
in three years.
another preparation altogether is
the one have been successful with in
the east. This preparation is for
stomach trouble. I expect to see
great many thousands of Californians
taking this medicine before leave. I
can convince any half sick, easily tired,
droopy man or woman on earth that
the only trouble with them is bad di-
gestion if they will try this medicine"

Three Hundred Thousand Persons
Urge Dismissal of Turkish Con-
sui at New York for AL
legged Graft

WASHINGTON. March 8. - Three
hundred thousand erstwhile Ottoman
subjects now living in the United
States have petitioned KAHN Bey,
Turkish ambassador to the United
States to urge that Munji Bey, Turk
ish consul in New York city, be de-
posed for conduct which is termed by
them grating" in that they allege
that Munji Bey has taken advantage
of the ignorance of Syrians, Greeks and
Armenians seeking passports to their
native land by oVercharging them for
his official signature and the Turkish
stamp essential to these documents.
Ambassador KAHN Bey upon receiv-
ing the petitions declared that he
would take decisive action. The mem
bers of the delegation bent on encom-
passing the removal of Munji Bey in
dictated that the embarrassments to
which Ottoman subjects have been put
may be bPught to the attention of the
state department If redress is not had
by the ambassador.
The petition bears the signatures of
the most prominent Turkish subjects.
Every Turkish subject coming into or
leaving this country must deal with
the consul.
Denounces Accusers
Munji Bey, Turkish consul general
at New York, today denounced the
charges of graft made against him
for his removal filed by several Otto
man subjects with the Turkish ambas-
sador at Washington, as fabrications
and said he courted full investiga-
ton OF his Office here,
1.-THE petition is inspired by a few
enemies of mine. five or six, whose
names | know, and there is not a word
of truth init" said Munji Bey.
81 shall give the names of my enc
mics to the ambassador when 1 hear
from him, and request that he take
some action against them.
IF the ambassador does not see fit
to take action I shall put the whole
matter in the hands of our local author
rites at Constantinople.
1--WE do not overcharge our subjects
for their passports as alleged in the
petition and there is no way for any
one to graft by taking advantage of
the ignorant Greeks, Syrians or Ar
menians in this office"

JAPANESE GIVES
PRAISE TO TAFT
COUNT 0KUMA ExT0LS POLICY
OF PRESIDENT
Plans Relative to Treaty Rights
Naval Expansion and lmnIera-
ton Are Declared Safe
and Sound
[By Associated Press.l

TOXIC, March 8.-Count Okuma,
former president of the progressive
party, has written a signed article for
the Toxic Mainichi. In which he unre-
servedly praises President Taft for his
policy as embodied in his inaugural
address.
In regard to that portion of the ad-
dress dealing with treaty rights OF
aliens, Olkuma says 1t would be mat
ter for universal rejoicing should the
delicate relations between the federal
and state constitutions be adjusted In
a manner thoroughly compatible with
national credit and honor. and the
standing of the United States as a
highly civilized power.
In respect to the naval program as
laid down in the inaugural speech, the
count processes to fully concur. He
writes that President Taft believes
that such an outcome is an unavoid-
able demand of the times. and ridi-
cuies the idea that it is directed against
Japan.
He asserts this idea is a gross mis-
representation of both Japan and the
United States, which believe equally
that a strong navy is the best guar
antor of peace.
Regarding immigration. the count
cannot entertain. the idea of restric-
ton as principle, but he is unopposed
to 1t as a temporary measure for pre-
venting unnecessary excitement and
irritation when Japan is unfortunately
the object of unwarrantable suspicion
In conclusion he says:
"Japan's real motive was proven on
the occasion of the visit of the fleet,
and it is now understood fully by
estimable Americans.
Local anti-Japanism is not of seri-
Gus concern and will disappear when
they cease to be haunted by a need
less suspicion.
1.-The true American sentiment will
ultimately prevail. especially under the
guidance of great. fair-minded states
man of the eminentlv peaceful dispo-
sition of President Taft"
