Billy Van, the famous original
minstrel man. He is just return

starring tour. Van has been a
prominent feature with every noted
minstrel organization in the past
decade and his name and features
are known to every patron OF
amusements. His is decidedly dis
tinct personality, so individual
that no other performer has ever
been able to initiate him success
fully. His stories, parodies. wit
ticisms, songs and jokes are crea,-
ed by himself. His present en-
gagement probably marks his last
in this city for he intends retiring
at the conclusion of his. contracts
with the Sullivan & Considine cir
cult. Billy Van is the highest
salaried minstrel in the world and
for years he has made great sums
of money, yet his charities have
amounted almost to a mania with
him and today he is the pOssessor
of but a modest fortune.

New York, April 24-"For a long

ciprocal attachments and contribu-
tions with multitudes of men and

in his life. The senator was speaking
at the 10Th annual dinner given him
by the Montauk club of Brooklyn, in
celebration of mis- 10th birthday. Sen
ator DepeW apparently is as hale and
hearty as ever. Speaking of the
growth of trusts he said he believed in
government control and not owner
ship. He said the present high prices
are not due to national extravaganza
and that the American workman re-
ceived double the wage OF the work
ers of other countries but the gov
eminent had not yet protected him
against the competition of the immi-
grant laborers who will work SO
cheaply.
He said the most beneficent
changes that had occurred In his time
have been laws granting rights to
women.
Concluding, he said

pie to have thrills of enthusiasm.

Mr.. Depew referred to the coming
retirement of Senator Aldrich. He
said:
"Mr. Aldrich has labored for q
sound and scientific financial system
but he realizes that he is discredited
by the people, and that the only way
to bring about the creation of such
a system as he advocates, is to retire
from the senate and devote himself to
it."

Washington, April 24.-In the sen.
ate yesterday Senator Borah spoke in
opposition TO the EiKins-Crawford
traffic agreement provision of the

adoption of the Elkins-C Crawford pro-
vision would mean the repeal Of the
Sherman antitrust law, SO far as il
applies to railroads, and announced
his opposition to this course, regard

He said If the law was to be amend
ed, he would prefer the Cummins

$4,000 appropriation, to continue the
work of inquiring into the high prices

day that the republican members
have decided to abandon their at
tempt to get the resolution through.
For over week the democratic SEN
ators have charged that the progenl-
tors of the inquiry had as their mo-
tive the acquittal of the Payne-Ald-
rich tariff law as the cause of the
high prices. They have fought vigor-
ously every attempt of the repub-
licans to bring the resolution to
vote. The republican members OF the
committee, after a conference yester-
day, took the position that the IN
quiry would go on just the same, and
that the democrats would have to
bear any odium that may attach to
the failure of the senate to provide
for more extensive inquiry than the
senate committee is able to conduct"
