lie District Leader. 2t

There is every indication that the new musical piece, The District Leader, which is to be presented at the Elks Theater will be welcomed by Pine Bluff theatre goers. The news of it's success in the East has evidently preceded it. ''The District Leader" is called comedy with music, and was written and com- posed by Joseph E. Howard.
 The Kansas City Journal in it's re- view of the piece said;
 The District Leader" is the bright est and most entcrtaing musical con- edy that has been seen here in a long time, and one of the reasons for the great success of the piece was has substance to 1t. In fact, the story is one that holds the interest and attention of the audience through out. 1t tells of the fight for sen atorship ill New York with dependent love stories The comedy Is in three acts. the first scene showing the lobby street in the Chinese section of New York, and last beautiful mansion on Riverside Drive. Miss Grace Sloan has the role of Flossie Whittle New Jersey inno~ ~ent and she plays the part most admirably. Trere is prob ably no better exponent of childs parts on the stage than Miss Sloan. Her song hits. "A Heart to Let, "The Salue Old Story" Wont You De My Girlie?" were rendered with charm- ing effect. Whats the Use Of Dreaming?" was one of the best liked oi the evening.

jumped out, picked up the boy, who ap-
peared to be unhurt, and carried him up
the stairs to his home. He gave the
parents name which sounded like eel

COLLISION PROVES FATAL
Aged Mrs. Hubbard ofWashinston
Thrown From Auto as tits
Nit by Street Car.

Washington, Oct. 20.-Mrs. Gardner
G. Hubbard, "a years old, was thrown
out of her automobile this evening,
when it was struck by street car, sus-
tanning injuries from which she died two
hours later in a hospital. Her skull
was fractured.
Mrs. Hubbard was prominent in the
older set of Washington, one daughter
having married DR.. Alexander Graham
Bell and another his first cousin,
Charles J. Bell, president of the Wash
ington Loan and Trust company.
The accident occurred when the auto
mnbile in which were Mrs. Hubbard and
her sister, Mrs. Charles Nash of Norris
town, N. j., turned out of Newcombe
street into Connecticut avenue, directly
in front of a swiftly moving trolly car
Mrs. Hubbard was flung out of the ton
neau. Mrs. Nash was unhurt. Col
Eli K. Cole of the marine corps was pas
sing in his automobile, and he carried
Mrs. Hubbard at top speed to Garfield

Telephones Here and Abroad.

A correspondent of 1.-The London
Times" Institutes a comparison be-
tween the use of telephones in Europe
and their use in America. In Europe,
with a population of 400, 900, 900, he
says that only 100000 instruments
were in service on January /, this year,
whereas in this country, where the pop
ulation is not far from IS, 900, 900. near
ly 100000 telephones were employed
on that date. 1t is pointed out that
England had somewhat smaller num-
Der than three American cities COM
bined-New York 1884, 1867, Chicago
(184, 1927 and Boston (more than 1907
000). France made far less favorable
showing Q94, 1897, and Austria is
credited with only SO,975. Italy, Bel
GUM and Hungary are each said to
have fewer telephones than st. Louis,
Pittsburg or San Francisco.
The explanation for this remarkable
difference which is offered by the con-
tributor to 1.-The Times" is that on this
side of the Atlantic the telephone SER
vice is controlled by the national gov
ernments, while here it has been devel-
oped by private enterprise. 1t is con-
ceivable that within certain limits the
theory fits the facts, but without any
qualifications it is likely to mislead.
Governmental management may impose
restrictions on the expansion of the tel
ephone business in Europe, but other
influences beside freedom from such
control have unquestionably operated
in the United States. AS rule, Amer
leans are in a greater hurry to accom-
plish their business, commercial aud
social, than foreigners are. In this
matter the spirit of the people counts
for a good deal. Telephone service
costs more here than it does abroad,
but the majority of Americans are will
ing to pay handsomely to save time.
Besides, this country is the birthplace
of the telephone.

AUTO HITS TREE.
Four Injured as Machine Went
Down Emil ankment.

While the police of Yonkers were
wondering who was in a touring car
that was wrecked early yesterday in
that city, the mystery was solved last
night in Manhattan. Five persons, in
GLIDING two young women, were in the
auto when it was going along Central
avenue and leaped over an embankment
near Palmer avenue. The auto hit a
large oak tree with such force that the
tree was split in halves from the roots
up. The auto, valued at $1,000, was
reduced to a heap of junk. The two
young women were most seriously in
jured. Only the chauffeur, Harry
Rogers, escaped being thrown from the
machine.
q Catherine Helm, who lives in No. 256
West l46th street, was hurled against
the tree, face first. Her eyeglasses
were smashed, the glass cutting her
face. Her jaw was dislocated, one of
her wrists sprained, and she got bruises
all over her body. Her companion,
Bessie Goldstein, was hurled out as the
machine skidded from the road. She
landed on the macadam, receiving
bruises and decorations all over her body.
Both women were picked up insensible,
but were revived quickly. In the car
with them were John Ramm and Mr..
Allen. They were also thrown out, re-
ceiving bruises. Boston Globe.

The case, Turnbull said, is in every
way parallel to that of William OAR

over and killed Ingvaard Trimble, a
Southern boy, who was living in the up
per West Side. Darragh fled to Texas.
He was caught, brought back here, in
dicted for murder, and convicted of
man slaughter in the first degree. He
is now serving long sentence in Sing
