field Case.
DR.. SMITH is SUMMONED

a conference yesterday between Cover
Marshall and former Lieutenant Gov
ernor Waitress, of Pennsylvania, now
OF New York city, second conference
attended by the governor and Mr.. Wat.
tress, DR.. S. e. Smith, superintendent
OF the Eastern Indiana hospital for the
insane, and James Bingham, attorney
general, was called to consider the for
feited contract of the e. NJ. Campfield
Construction company, which compa-
ny originally got the contract for
erecting the Southern hospital for the
insane, at Madison. Mr. Waitress Is
the New York representative of one of
the surety companies which signed the
construction company bond, and he
waited on the governor to inform him
that the surety companies concerned
held that under the conditions accom-
panying the forfeiture of the contract
they were not response pie on the bond.
The contention of Mr.. Waitress is
that according to Section IS of the
agreement the contract could not be
forfeited except on twenty-days notice
In writing to the contractor by the
commissioner in charge of the con.
struction. He produced written evil
dence that no twenty day notice was
given, and protested that only one
days notice was given, and that such
notice was verbal. He was inclined
to attach the blame to former Cover.
nor Hanly for the summary declaration
of forfeiture.
In order to hear the states side Of
the case, Governor Marshall telephon
ed DR.. Smith, who was made superin-
tendent Of the construction for the new
building, and Mr.. Bingham, who, as at
torney-general. examined the contract
After the forfeiture of the CONTRACT,
the state attempted to collect from the
surety companies on the Campfield
bond. but thus far it has not been sue
cessful. After his conference with
Mr.. Waitress, the governor declined to
make any positive statement concern
ing the merits of his visitors claim.

1.-THE TRAVELLING Salesman"

Inc travelling S1IeSnaOs
The length to which actors must 60
in order to acquaint themselves with
a part, and the expedients they must
resort to is something that the rank
and file of theatergoers know nothing
of. Many an actor, in order to secure
an engagement to play principal role
must needs familiarize himself with
some peculiarities of a trade or profess
sion, or must acquaint himself with
the atmosphere that surrounds the
part, and in doing this must visit out
of-the-way places or get in touch with
those who are living the part.
In THE Travelling Salesman" which
will be presented at the Gennett thea
ter, Monday night, Mr.. James Forbes
the author, has his leading character
representing on the road, a woman's
ready-to-wear garment firm. The con-
sequence Is he must be familiar with
the tricks of the trade and little def
touches a representative of such a con-
Germ must have in order to properly
display his samples. Frank Mcintyre
is cast for the part, and after the pre-
mier of the play, he was in receipt of a
dozen or more letters from commercial
men representing line of goods the
same as Mcintyre, as Bob Blake, is
supposed to sell, and in which they
criticized the manner in which Mr.. Nc
Intyre displayed the samples and tried
them on the model.

changes in the outfits have been made,
but the teams will be substantially the

from all Alaska can keep him from
being a winner

The Murray Theater.

Full of life, abundant in comedy and
music and on a higher plane of vaude-
Vile than anything hitherto seen in
Richmond is the opening offering that
is now being presented at the new
Murray theater.
Eddie Adair and his Yankee Octette
bring the fullest expectations of the
modern vaudeville patron, as regards
good singing and music, to their COM
plete realization. The costuming and
scenery of this act are elegant and
there is vim and dash to the act
from the beginning to the end. The
act is respondent with catchy songs
which are cleverly and well rendered
by a capable company.
Something that Is new and away
from the beaten paths Of the regular
gymnastic stunts is the travesty pre-
sented by LeClair and Sampson who
are styled the Bogus Athletes" The
marvellous head and hand balancing
these men pull off is absolutely wond-
erful and people do wonder until they
find out the cause.
Ferguson and Passmore are a reve-
lation when 1t comes to dancing. The
steps which the male member of the
team executes are especially clever
while the songs and monologue which
Miss Passmore renders show her YER
satility in that line Of performance.
The one act playlet Our Wife"
which is presented by Frank Rutledge
and company is full of comedy and
dramatic force which are blended to-
gether in a most pleasing manner.
The new illustrated song Down at
the Vaudeville Show" written by Miss
Eva Hazeltine and dedicated to the
new theater, and the motion pictures
round out one of the best bills ever
seen in this city.
