respectively, United States marshal
and district attorney at Juneau, Alaska,
Daniel A. Sutherland and John ].
Boyce, who were supplanted in those
offices by the nominees. told the sub
committee of the senate judiciary COM
mittee that both Faulkner and Rust
bard owed their appointm ents and they
themselves owed their removal to the
Guggenheim interests and politicians
alleged to be friendly to those inter-
ests. Although Senators Nelson
Borah and Overman. who constitute
the subcommittee. are said to wish
open hearings. the rules require
that all proceedings relating to the
confirmation of appointments must be
conducted in executive session Hence,
the sensational charges made before
the subcommittee have simply leaked
from the committee room.

Hague peace tribunal, last week. was
the only member of the committee alb
sent when today's session began. The
committee room was crowded and, as
Usual most of the spectators were wo-
men. None of the principals involved in
the controversy was present.
Before Mr.. Brandeis began his argu-
raent, Attorney Pepper, counsel for Mr.
Pinchot. submitted a lengthy affidavit
of E. A. Braniff. who was in charge
of the forestry work done on the Me-
pominea, Wis, Indian reservation where
it had been charged by the defense
the forestry department had been
wasteful
Braniff was present and ready to tcs-
tify in refutation of the charges, but
it was decided to dispose of the matter
by printing Braniff's affidavit in the
record.

PErRucHlo, A GENTLEMAN.

It is as frank and uncompromising humorist that Shakespeare presents himself in The Tanning of the Sherw." Yet behind the rollicking fun there is vein of serious suggestion. and the poet asserts himself at the close most gracefully in his tribute to true mar ital devotion. Although the play is farce of the most uncompromising type, it requires an actor of fine ar tistic comprehension to play the role of Petruchio acceptably. Petruchio Is despite his clustering masquerade a gentleman and an actor who conveyed no other impression than that of the boisterous ruffian he assumed to be would give but faint and unsatis- factory interpretation of the heart ed whole-souled suitor for a captious lady's hand. And the captious lady herself is a combination of opposed traits. Though shrew. she must be winsome and capable when won of as much womanly devotion as she was at first of insubordination Charles B. Hanford is one of the few actors to make Petruchio a character as strong in it's humorous appeal as 1t is in its artistic aspect. Miss Marie Drofnah who assumes the role of Katherine has been fortunate in winning approval for her performance pf it to an extent that assures a complete and harmonious in- 
 Mir Hanford will appear at the Mesa opera house on Friday. January 14. in this merry play.

PARTS CLEvERLY CAST
 AND SMOOTHLY ACTED
Show at the Vance Was the Best in
 Many Months.

Most of Mesa was out Thursday night to witness Monty Brewster's eff forts to spend million dollars in a year and win mighty nice girl under rather adverse circumstances He did both. although ii looked at the last minute as though he was going to fall down on both propositions. and every one was happey.
 Notwithstanding the fact that there was defiant atmosphere of chilliness surrounding both actors and audience the play was not frost On the con- trary. it was unanimously pronounced the best show seen here in many months. The Vance management did a clever stroke of business and scored heavily in popular favor when it brought "Brewster's Millions" to town; and when The Great Divide" comes. there will be another full house. : The management went down to de- feat on the heating proposition. how ever. although the big stove situated well back in the audience did it's best One heating stove cannot be expected to grapple successfully with prori- dence: and providence sent pretty chilly evening to Mesa. Consequently when the curtain rose on the third act disclosing a scene on board Monty Brewster's yacht. a fierce sweep of sea-breeze bore down on the audience, adding realism to the play but sending chill through those nearest the stage.
 All the parts were cleverly cast and smoothly acted. There were no buns on the stage. And the action proceeded smartly from first to last. The play was replete with good situations. clever lines. and comedy of McCutcheon's own particuular kind.
 The stage settings were particularly attractive, but the effect would have been even better if all the scenery and could have been used. much of which was necessarily omitted.
