Big H0bOKEN FIRE
TO Be REPRODUCED
One Of the Features Of the Ohio
Valley Exposition

Cincinnati, o. Especially Ar
rangements have been perfected and
work begun for the reproduction for
exhibition purposes of one of the
most famous fires in history-the
burning of the big steamship docks
and several ocean-going vessels at
Hoboken, N. j., several years ago. 1t
has long been an established fact
that the vast general public would
rather see a fire than witness any
other kind of spectacle that might be
offered them in the line of a catas-
trophe or calamity. This is evidenced
at every ringing of the fire bells,
which bring spectators from ear and
near to "see the machines run" and
to witness the work of the firemen
is reached. When the spectacle,
Fighting the Flames" was produced
some years ago by CLAUDE hagen, the
well-known purveyor of public amuse-
ments, it. was thought that the acme
of realism in shows of this kind had
been reached. But it seems that
there was room for even greater
spectacular effort, and again it is Mr..
Hagen who has discovered this. His
plans for a fire" show, entitled
Fighting Flames on Ship and
Shore" have been accepted by the
Ohio Valley Exposition, and under
the direction of the inventor the
work of installing this thrilling spec
tacle is now going on, the plans call

THE RISE IN CORN.

me itHtS- i'tWOcFUt.)
The sharp rise In corn would
seem to dissipate the last hope of
cheap food for man or beast. The
advance of four cents, which yes
terday stirred the Chicago Board
of Trade, was not due to manipu-
lation, but had its origin in the be-
lief that the excessive heat now
prevailing in most parts of the
Western corn belt has lmperiled
the crop. In other words, experts
fear that the disaster to spring
wheat is to be paralleled in the
coarser grain. As wheat rose TWEEN
ty cents when the drought in the
Northwest had become a tinality,
SO it is reasonable to expect that
corn will soar to almost prohibit
tive levels, if the whitening tenn
peratures last. In such market
the greatest spectators do not
greatly count, for values are shap-
ed by the elements and man can
only accept the result with the
best possible grace.
Fortunately, the South does not
depend upon the West for corn, as
was the case in recent years. H.
deed, this section will probably
have considerable quantity for
sale and will, in any event, have
enough for it's own use. Yet the
high cost of foodstutfs may pinch

RAILROAD NOTES

Chicago, April 29-Little doubt is
entertained by local transportation Of
ficers that the owners of the Rock Is
land system, Moere-Reid syndicate, is
planning a combination with it's newly
acquired line, the Lehigh Valley, and
some road between Chicago and Buff
falo. If the gap between Chicago and
Niagara Falls could be bridged the
Moore syndicate would have a railroad
from New York to Chicago and from
here to Ell Paso west.
The present through arrangement of
the Lehigh Valley is now with the
Grand Trunk, which line is double
tracked, and the two form a fine sys-
tenn, as the Lehigh Valley also has a
second track The combination be-
tween the Lehigh Valley and the Grand
Trunk. however, Is almost exclusively
a passenger proposition and provides
for one through train and separate ears
in other through service.
1t is, of course, out of the question
for the Moore crowd to buy any part Of
the main line of the Grand Trunk, and
unless a line is constructed one of the
present roads must be purchased or
leased. The Wabash uses the old line
of the Grand Trunk under lease, and
the Michigan Central, of course, being
part of the New York Central lines,
is out of the market. The old Grand
Trunk line that is used by the Wabash
might be bought and developed.

the second cast was seen on April 25,

"THE GREAT DIVIDE"

THE Great Divide" William Vaughn
Moody's successful play, which has
been declared by many critics to set
a new high mark in American drama,
will appear at the Illinois next Thurs
day evening. The career Of "The
Great Divide" has been experimenting
in American theatrical history. Here,
at last, is a play which is splendid lit
erature, great drama technically, and
at the same time fascinating to the
spectator, and of almost unprecedented
commercial value. 1t has been called
the 'long-awaited great American
play" Undoubtedly it is as big in
conception and broad in treatment as
the picturesque portion of the far west
IN which the first two acts are laid
the Rocky mountains, the great divide
between the east and west. The diff
ferent roles portrayed by the two lead
ing players are most human and sin
cere, yet highly dramatic withal. A
superb company has been provided,
and the production is precisely the
same that won such unprecedented
praise during the 600 nights run of
'The Great Divide" at the Princess
and Days theatres and the Academy
Of Music, New York.

ain a day or two afterward, when he
had heard rumors that members of the
grand jury we're taking notice of the
matter, he published as an excuse that
the dates were so faint in the original
draft that the photograph did not re-
produce them.
Now, just look at this original draft
again. The date at the top, as you
see, is in larger and more prominent
letters and figures than any other part
of the draft. 1 had the draft photo
graphed as a test that the dates would
take like all the rest, and here is the
photograph. You see that shows the
dates as plainly, to say the least, as
any other part of the draft. But if it
were true that Mr. Hearst's photo
graphic apparatus would not reproduce
the dates, why should he print the
draft without the dates? Why did he
not put them in in some way? The
truth is. am assured, that the dates
were actually cut out of the plate with
routing machine. An inspection Of
the draft as falsely printed also shows
that to be the case, as you see in re-
spect to the date of Dec, 20.

are related Of his clever quips and re-

warmly advocated the cause of 1.-The

In November, 1777, he was arrested as
a Tory, tried, convicted and sentenced
to be confined on board a guard ship
and sent to England with his family
within forty days. The sentence was
afterward committed by the board of
