dancers will be found in the Nor

bers on the b.ll which opens at

Miss Betsey Bacon and her clever
company in "Deborah's Wedding
Day." a pleasing little story of the
south during the war time. Miss

rect for the London Hippodrome,

from the windmill region because
they can't pay their board bill.
In an effort to evade it, which
calls for a sensational sortie from
gabled window, they are captur
ed by the burgomaster and put
to work, one as a waiter and the
other as an interpreter. The burg
omaster's daughter has a love affair
with a young sailor, and when her
father finds out about it he i'm
prisons her in the old red mill,
which has the reputation of being
haunted.
How the two Americans rescue
her from the mill is the specta-
cular development of the first act.
In the second act the two Ameri-
cans, in their efforts to flee hard
luck and Holland, have to resort
to various DISCUSSES; the one hay
ing the most important bearing on
the story being wonderfully clev-
er representation of Sherlock
Holmes and DR.. Watson. In these
characters they finally bring about
a happy ending to the story and
reap pecuniary reward for both,

atmosphere of the country of
is said to have been capitally
caught by the author, Henry Bios
som, and tunefully portrayed by
the composer, Victor Herbert. This
is the plays second visit to Spo-
kane.
The Red Mill" is in two acts.
The first depicts square in the
town of Katwyk-aan-Zee, a pictur-
esque place on the North sea. The
picture is absolutely correct and
a duplication of an actual scene.
In the background is the great
practical red windmill, from which
the play takes it's name, with it's
slowly sweeping sails, and at one
side is funny little Dutch inn,
which has an important bearing on
the story. The second scene shows
a delft blue interior representing
the house OF the burgomaster. Both
these settings are typical of the
artistic distinction that character

productions.
The plot revolves around two
stranded Americans. They are

SEEKS HER HUSBAND.

DOUGLAS. Sept 24. lSpecioD.-
 An anxious wife of Bedding Cali fornia, is seeking some news of the whereabouts of her husband, who she thinks may be in Douglas or Bisbee. but from whom she has not heard for several weeks and writes to the local officials in the hopes of securing information, or at least in- teresting them in aiding her in the hunt.
 Mrs. M. G. Frayn writes from 1919 Placer street, Bedding, Calif., that her husband was engaged in section work in Jerome and wrote her from there that he did not like Jerome and that when he left there he would go to Douglas, Bisbee or Tucson. On July 90 he wrote her that payday would be on August IS, and he would send her some money, but he did not do this. On September she heard from Jerome that he had left there and ordered his mail sent from there to Douglas. From the Copper Queen smelter here she learned that he was not employed there. She states that he is not a drinking man and that she fears he has had some ac- cident befall him. Her fears were aggravated by the fact that he has never before neglected to write to her for so long a period.

 Mayor Jacobus and Chairman Drachman of the police committee felt sure that Officer Roller was justi- fed in shooting to defend his own life, but they thought the seriousness of the offense merited an investiga- ton, so one was held yesterday. The evidence showed that the officer was being assaulted by several men. in cluding the two he shot, and had to use his pistol to prevent his own life being taken. Pending the in vestigation, Officer Roller has been on duty on a leave of absence, but he is now restored to his full author. ity.

.ELKS OF DOUGLAS
 TO GIVE \ PLAY

DOUGLAS, Sept. 24.--(Special.)-
 The Elks are to produce play. This has been decided upon. Last night . telegram was sent to O. l.. Jaencon that the proposition which he had made to stage a play for the Douglas Elks was accepted, and ask. ing him to come to ths place and start arrangements for the produc- ton. It will mean fun for those who arc in the caste of the play, fun fo- those who throng the operahouse to see Douglas talent at it's best. fun for all, both behind and before the foot lihts. Word from Mir. Jaencon is ex- pected within the next few days, an nouncing that he will arrive and when he does come no time will be lost, for he is given to hustling and can rapidly perfect caste into a finished troop.
 O. l.. Joencon was in charge of the Elks' play last year. He 1t was who staged and managed the produc- tion of a Night in Bohemia" and that production by amateur talent of the city riyaled the very best things shown by professionals on the Or pheum stage during the winter of l909-lO. Hence the re-engagement of MT. Jaencon by the Douglas lodge can only mean another Elks' sue cess. What the play will be this year will not be determined until after the committee has met Mr. Jaencon and gone over the matter with him. It is known that he has three plays, all bran new and all good. and the deciding on which of those three shall be shown in Doug las will devolve upon the committee.
 The Douglas Elks have never fail ed fin anything they have undertaken, and this is so as to plays as well as everything else The "Elk's Tooth, ' The College Pennant," and the Night in Bohemia" are all shining examples of what the Douglas lodge can do, with the aid of the really fine talent which is to be found in the city and the production of this year may be expected to excell any past attempts.

 The surprising feature of the ev- ening was given by MT. B. A. Pack ard of Douglas, Ariz., and although he wasn't black-faced, the audience seemed all the more pleased. Have you ever heard Down on the Old Sus-que-han-i-a?" Well. that's what he sang all alone, without a chorus and with so much charm we all sort of had suspicion he must have been there before. Anyhow, to say it was success is putting 1t mildly"

Granger suggested today that Gleason be paroled in the GUS tody of any two men Dr. Lange might suggest, and taken to Granger's chemist.

 Constable Mitchell smiled, and 1t is probable that if there are any eX- periments Changers chemist will come over from New Jersey.
 A conference was held at the office of Attorney George NJ. Watson. It was attended by Gleason, Granger, Watson and Dr. w. A. Mcdowell, a brother-in-law of Dr. Lange. Watson represents Dr. Lange. No basis of settlement was reached.

The charge is rather hay. and when he waived hearing today, the real story behind his arrest was buried deeper. Strong influences are working for recon ciliation, and it is felt this will be accomplished eventually.
 Dr. Lange denied today that he has made any experiments with process to make gold out of base metals. A story to that effect published this morning in a New York newspaper was branded by the doctor as rub bish.''

 A|RSH|P COMPETITION

TUCSON Sept 24.--For the pur- pose of interesting Tucson in an aeroplane exposition by some of the best aviators in the country, the Wright company of Dayton. O.. head ed by Wilbur and Orville Wright, has written the chamber of commerce. The letter is from Roy Knabenshue. who has charge of the exhibition de- partment of the company.
 Knobenshue states that immediate ly after November l, when the east ern season closes, he will load up five aeroplanes for exhibition in all of the principal cities of the Pacific coast He wants to take in Tucson on his way to the coast. and asks if an exhibition can not be arranged for this city.
 With Knabenshue, who Is himself an expert, there will be aviators Bro sins, Johnstone, Hoxsey, Turpin and Parmalee. All of these men have tdi utu NOIlu WiuC ICputdDouo dS asl- ators and some of them hold world records.
 Although the recent appearance of Aviator Hamilton in this city did not prove financial success to those who guaranteed him his price, there is a probability that the appearance of so many noted ayiators would be a great success. and the project may be carried out However, the cham Der of commerce is of the opinion that some individual or group of in dividuals should take. the matter in hand as a private enterprise and boost it for thir own profit.
 There are great many residents of Tucson who have never seen an aeroplane in flight, many having been away from the city when Hamilton was here last spring. In addition to these, Tucson's winter population will te here before November, and the tourists would almost certainly take great interest in such an enter tainment as the flight of these daring aviators.

FUN ON BOARD SHIP IS LED
 BY TOURISTS FROM DOUGLAS

Dougiasites are in the foreground of prominence socially among the 120 tourists aboard the Mongolia who are voyaging in the East, seeing the strange people and stranger lands and customs of the Orient. Upon such tour there is sufficient time on shipboard for the travellers to become acquainted and always there Is much social activity on trans-Pa- cific voyages. The jolly party of the Mongolia are, however, more than us- ually energetic. Douglas is a leader in the fun and entertainment fur nished, according to the Los Angeles Examiner.
 That paper tells of a series of sports events" before reaching Yo- kohama, and also of a minstrel per formance and a mock trial From this account it appears that the Douglas tourists are the very life of the party. B. A. Packard was chair. man of the sports committee and in two of the events Douglasites, Mrs F.. J. Huxtable and Miss Dorothy Packard were awarded premier prizes. The Examiner thus describes these two features of jolly day al sea:

SCRANTON, Sept 24.-That he has been swindled out of $100.000, was the statement today by Dr. Frederick w. Lange, on recovering from the nervous attack that has kept him home several days. Lange, who startled the world by announnc- fg he could transmute base metals into ingots of pure silver. gave way to his reyerses when his properties were advertised at sheriff's sale for non-payment of heavy debts, but now he looks the situation squarely in the face. Just how he was duped, he refuses to disclose. but he declares he will prosecute the alleged wrong doers to the end. It is presumed that E. D. Gleason, the Philadelphia chemist, arrested on forgery charge at Dr. Lange's instance, is one of the alleged swindlers. Today Glea- son was arranged before Alderman Moir. He waived hearing and was held in s10,5o0 bail
