A meeting Of the Masonic board of

ted by Architect o. 2. Cervin. Mr..

be suitable to all concerned. If the

wARaIERs AT WAR.

New York, March 25.-Miss Refine
Davies, who has been singing her
way into fame on the vaudeville stage,
has incurred the enmity of Miss
Blanche Ring, and Judge Lacombe Of
the United States circuit court will be
called upon today to settle their diff
ferences.
Miss Ring is upset because Miss Da-
vies has been singing a new song en-
titled CLAP Hands," which Miss Ring
claims was written exclusively for her.
Hence Miss Ring wants Judge La
combe to restrain Miss Davies from
singing CLAP Hands"
David Gerber, counsel for Miss Da-
vies, contends that his client has just
as much right to sing the song as Miss
Ring has, and he said that If 1t would
enlighten Judge Lacombe on the sub
ject, he would be perfectly willing to
produce Miss Davies in court today
and have her sing the song over which
the row started
Miss Davies is the wife of George
w. Lederer, the Chicago theatrical
manager, and has been playing in this
city for several weeks.

self up in his tramp uniform and went
down to the railroad yards ostensibly
for the purpose of having taken a pic
ture of himself which he might use
in his press advertisements. He
wanted to find an open box car in
which he might perch himself for a
Sitting" He wandered around among
the cars looking for favorable place,
until he attracted the attention of
some of the yard employees. They be-
came suspicious of him on account of
the recent robberies which occurred
there when seven different box cars
were broken into. On this occasion
the robber in the person of a hobo
was arrested and is now lying in the
county Jail waiting for an investiga-
ton of his case by the next grand
jury.
Suspect In Arrested.
The yard employees telephoned to
police headquarters that they believed
another hobo burglar was in their
midst, and Officer Herman Sehnert
was dispatched to the yards to arrest
him. Symonds, entirely oblivious of
the trouble which his appearance was
making for him, greeted the officer
with a smile and CHEEKY Good
morning" It seemed to the officer
that the supposed hobo was trying to
allay suspicion and he at once arrested
him and piloted him to the station.
Symonds raised a howl at being ar
rested, but it was no use. He eX-
planned to the desk sergeant who he
was, but he was kept in custody until
Manager Fulton of the Hopp had ar
rived at the station and identified the
tramp"
Whole Thing n Hoax.
While Symonds is believed to be
honest in most respects, there is rea-
son to think that he rather courted
his arrest and that he purposely acted
in a suspicious manner in order to at
tract public attention to himself OF
course the episode gives him notice
in the press and that is what he
wants. In verification of this theory
it might be said that Of1cer Sehnert
had a pocketful of 10 cent cigars today

LAsr HAZE AT FAMILY.

Gus Williams. one of the few old
guard comedians now before the pub
lie, is an entertainer at the Family
the last half of the week. Your father
will remember Gus when he was one
of the funniest German cutups he ever
saw before the footlights. This would
leave the inference that Gus is no
longer a youngster. Well. he isn't,
but he acts as though he felt as spry
as he did in the days when he was
making his reputation as a perform
er. Gus can't sing as well as he used
to, but he can tell story as well as
ever, and he has the faculty of know
ing how to get on good terms with his
audience at the start. Mack and West,
exceedingly clever dancers and come
dians, open the bill. Misses Erella
and Frank, with novel bag punching
and contortfon act, are offering some
thing out Of the ordinary, and the
Booth Trio give bicycle turn that is
original in many respects. Mrs Mae
Richards Casey has a new illustrated
song, and the moving picture tells an
Interesting story.
