MARTIN TO FOLLOW YETTER
VIII Become President of the Com
merciaI Club, ms Per
Custom.

OF the sixty directors chosen wednes-
day by the Commercial club twenty-three
were members OF the directorate last year
and also elected to the executive COM
mittee for 1905. When the twenty-five
members OF that committee are chosen
Friday afternoon the result probably will
show a large number of these twenty-three
again on the executive committee, thus
showing that good work is appreciated
or that mighty is a little team work.
Euclid Martin, chairman of the exeeu-
tive committee last year, will undoubtedly
be elected president Of the club this year,
following w, L. Yetter. 1t is the custom
OF the club that this order OF holding
office shall be followed.
AS a matter OF fact the craftsmanship OF
the committee is really the important Of
flee and there is much speculation as to
this years chairman, There are several
candidates.. but the situation is much too
delicate to permit OF any but the most
quiet work being done by friends. An
avowed fight for the place. it is felt, might
result in the man or men failing OF cleo
ton even TO the executive committee, with
the result that discretion is the watch
word and shibboleth.
The fact that several more retail dealers
are among the directors elected has been
the subject Of considerable eminent in
business circles.

NIPPED PASSING BAD CHECKS
Police Believe Same Man II RespOn-
sibIe for other Similar Tricks
Reported.

Robert Chamberlain. VINO is alleged by
the police to have been active within the
last day or two in passing bad checks,
was arrested yesterday in the Boston store
where he was attempting to work the
same game. and locked up at the police
station on n charge of forgery.
II is claimed that he succeeded in pass
ing checks at a number OF business houses,
including several drug stores. All of the
bad paper which has come to light thus
far has been alike. The amount in each
case has been $12 and the name Is igned
as Mrs. Laura c.. Koch. Chamberlain's
plan was to enter a store, make some pur-
chases Of small amount and present one OF
the checks in payment.
After his arrest his room at the Willard
hotel was searched and two gallon cans
OF varnish frcIn the Midland Glass and
Paint company and a quantity OF clothing
from Albert Gains furnishing store were
found.
A check similar to the ones passed was
also found on his person.
When he was booked he gave the name
OF James Carnay but refused to give his
address. He was registered at the hotel
however, under the name Of Chamberlain
and an admission card TO the Emergency
hospital at Victor. Colo, was found
among his effects and the police are in.
clined to believe that this is his real nam
and that Victor is probably his home.
Just how many checks he succeeded In
passing is not known but It has been as,
certained that the number is considerable

An audience much larger than had pre-

hearty reception. THE Two Little Nag-

Frank and Miss Pearl Winters in the
name parts scored heavily in both their
acting and singing scenes. The story Is
Of two lads whose home is wherever they
could find food and shelter. and the boy
parts were admirably taken by Misses
Frank and Winters, the former OF whom
is only II years old. The rest OF the com
pany offered It's usual support and was
also warmly a~pplauded in songs and dane
Ing specialties that were introduced. Spe-
~cialties were also a strong part Of the
matinee performance, at which a Yiddish
play called "The Devil" and involving the
idea of a mischief-maker as in Molner's

MISS Manufacturers READING
"Merely Mary Ann" Given Before a
Large Audience at Temple
Israel.

Miss Mannheimer, director of the Cincin-
natl School of Expression, gave a m
recital at Temple Israel last night, the first
number of the lecture course arranged for
the congregation for the winter season.
Miss Mannheimer essayed a rather diff
cult undertaking, that Of giving compelling
interest to a tale that is not especially
striking in itself. and whose quality for
entertaining depends entirely on its de-
livery and not on its intrinsic worth. This
difficulty is nhanced by the reason that
she must assume the principal roles of the
drama as 1t is unfolded, and by her per-
sonallty supply not only the contrast in the
characters, but also supply the "atmos-
phere,'' in order that the situations might
be understood. And that one of the lead
ing characters is that of a highly sensitized
masculine nature and the other of an I'M
inviting case of feminine arrested develop
ment only makes the task seem the more
hopeless. But Miss Mannheimer Is inter-
ested, apparently, in r~eviving in America
the art OF story telling, and pursues her
work with apparent relish. She has taken
Zangwilrs merely Mary Ann and by skill
fully abridging the tale has provided a
story in three parts that Is coherent,
possessed Of the saliency of the drama, and
OF such interest as holds the attention and
gives her an excellent basis for her PROPOSE
ton that story telling can be made won
d~erfully entertaining.
Miss Mannheimer takes of the play
Lancelot, Mary Ann, Mr.. Peter, Mrs. Lead
batter, Rosie and Brahmson, and the dog
and canary bird. She tells the story with
wonderful art, using her voice deftly In
| separating the individuals in conversation,
and in ifferentiating between the conversa-
ton and the explanatory passages essential
to a preservation of the picture. Dialect
is required and used, and the contrast be-
tween the natures is we'll exhibited. Her
story is told in a way that draws not
merely the applause of politeness, but the
genuine appreciation OF keen interest.
Miss Essie Aarons introduced the program
with a double violin number that was very
we'll received. Mr.. Charles Corke accom-
panied her on the piano. Miss Belle Won
Mansfelde played a nocturne by Goltermar
on the cello in a way that more than justl.
fled the prophecy made for her as a per-
former on that instrument. She was &C
companied by Miss Margaret Boulter or
the organ. The third musical Number was
a soprano solo by Mrs. Leon Hurwitz, fol
whom Miss Sadie Lesser played the accom-
paniment. A large audience enjoyed the
program fully.

and Mr.. w. L. Skinner, the general man
