Miss Perry will have a selected company of ten to aid her in the presentation of the comedietta and this much can safely be said In advance, and that is that musical standpoint of the present sea- son. The special feature of next weeks bill will be Harry Fox and the Millership Sisters. a great trio of en- tertainers presenting Artistic Oddi- ties, and the other acts on the bill include Visocchi Brothers, whistling and organetto virtuosos: Karl Emmys Pets. a great animal act; Terrell Brothers. skillful bicycle riders; Mill Ter and Lyle Blessed With Ignor- ance": and Haviland and Thornton. in the comedy sketch. "A Question of Policy
 This weeks most entertaining bill continues to attract large audiences at each performance and yociferous ap- plause is accorded the act of Our Reidy and Currier, George Bloomquest Players in Nerve" Harry Holman and O'De1l and Kinley. But few good seats remain for the rest of the week especially for the evening per- formances, and those desiring to see the big bill had best get into early communication with the box office

SLUSH FUND OF $500,000 FOR
 TURF EXPENSES
Special from United Press.)


 New York, Sec. 2.--That the Met. ropolitan Turf Association. kept ne books that would show just how ths vast sum of money is rafsed-the states estimate is more than $300,. 0O6-to oppose the anti-gamblIna laws. was distributed, was the state. ment of the treasurer. James J, Evans, today. Evans produced what he told counsel for the legislative graft Investigating committee, were all of his books. They showed sim- ply the payments of regular dues by Evans explained that, while much money was raised, ito retain lawyers and for other legal expenses" he did not know how much was collected. The executive committee of the as- sociation, he said, assessed the mem- bers and they paid the amount nev- CT entering on their sheets.
 The committee has established. through it's examinations, that prob ably half million dollars was sub fighting the bills. August Belmont made it plain that the bookmakers worked independent of the turf goy- verning body and Chief Counsel M. Linn Bruce, said, today, he was afraid it would prove an impossible task to addition to the "slush fund.- of half million dollars which, it was al- legged, was raised at supper at Del- monicos, and was "distributed' by an agent who never was seen about the capitol in Albany. In connection with this latter fund, an indictment has been returned against Former Senator Frank J. Gardner, charging him with attempted bribery. Be- cause of this fact, Gardner has re- fused to testify before the committee and no one else has been found who will admit knowing anything about the fund.
 It was generally believed, today, that the committee would be unable to fix the distribution of the ''slush fund" on anyone and that all of the other matters that have been touch ed on by it are outlawed by the statute of limitations.
 It will, however, recommend radf- cal changes in the fire insurance laws and some amendments to the agricul- tural law, which will end the fight for pure milk, but so far as other results are concerned, they will prob ably prove nil.
 The committee has arranged to sit daily until 5:30 in Forder to get its work completed before the first of the year, as it's report must be made to the legislature not later than January 15.

His Luxurious Pillow.

"When sleeping cars first came in." said railroad man. ''the bedclothes in the berths were very scanty. On one of these early cars one night after everybody had turned in and the lights were low a loud voice called from an upper berth:
 Porter, got a corkscrew?' aisle.
 Boss he said in a scandalized tone, we don't allow no drinkin' in the berths. It's against the rules.'
 "'Oh. it ain't that. porter,' the voice answered. I just want to dig out a pillow that's sort of worked its way into my ear.'"

fun-clean, wholesome. joyous fun -ls the stuff of which Seven Days" IS made, the comedy by Mary Rob erts Rlnehart and Avery Hopwood year in New York and will be at Jackson's Theatre for a single per romance this evening. A great deal or praise has been given to the au- thors Tor writing an American con- cay that, as one critic said, "has more real humor in it than any twen- ty of the so-called popular successes without so much as a hint of i'm proprlety. Seven Days is clean comedy. Quoting from the dramatic critic of the New York Glove, this joyous howl of farce hasn't a lin, or an incident in it that couldn't he laughed at unblushingly.'' The un- paralleled success of this play proves that the American public prefers to laugh at the theatre, and likes best of all to laugh at wit and humor and merriment that are free from coarse ness. Seven Days" is untainted by the broadness and suggestiveness up- on which so many depend to create laughter, and it contains more laugh ter than all the others put together It IS in the second year of it's New York run which continued all sum- mer. It ran six months in Chicago NO comedy in years has caught on as this one has. If it doesn't pack the theatre here it will be because the local public doesn't appreciate he best thing when it gets it. Messrs Wagenhals & Kemper, producers of this exceptional success, are sending here a cast whose members appear- ed at the Astor Theatre and the production is an exact duplicate of the one in New York. It will be q Broadway Seven Days'' in every re- spect. There has been a very heavy advance sale, assuring a. large ana brilliant attendance.
 ''The Arcadians."
 The part of Eileen Cavanaugh in Charles Frohman's production of ''The Arcadians" seems expressly intended for the dainty and beautiful Alice Russon, whom MT. Frohman h.s cast for it. Eileen is a fascinating little Irish girl with just the charm ing suggestion of a brogue, which is celebrated in the song sung to her the Bit of a Brogue." She is hard to catch, but at last succumbs to Jack Meadows with whom she plays the most equisite of love scenes. The other principal parts are in hand of most capable players, and the com pany which will present the play at Jackson's Theatre tomorrow, matinee and evening is considered to be by far the best that has ever appeared in it. The unusually heavy advance sale of seats presages two enormous attendanceS.
