One OF the best all round bills that
the vaudeville wheel of fortune has
sent the Temple theater in long time
Is current this week, and the big Mon
day afternoon audience approved every
act with enthusiasm.
Clever Ellie Fay, with the acrobatlc
face, returns after too-prolonged alb
seIce. Her work Is as grotesque'y
funny as ever and she goes through
her act at such whirlwind gait as to
leave the audience gasping in an effort
TO keep up with her. She has some
new songs which she offers in her
own inimitable way. and THE Belle
of Avenue A" is as popular as ever.

and clever, in spite of a much worn

are bright and the story runs along
In a logical way. Offering no insult

age vaudeville playlet is apt to do.
The burglar, played by Mr.. Madden,
shows that he Is a real musician at a
grand piano. the music coming in quite
naturally and adding to rather than
detracting from the little playlet.
Lew Hawkins "the Chesterfield OF
Minstrelsy' kept the audience hugely
entertained and good kumored with his
monologue and parodies and sustained
his well-earned reputation as a black
face fun maker. Charles +. Semon,

audience screaming with laughter and
IL was hard to say which Of the mis-

Four Boises offer a sensational and
daring casting act that shows fine ply

And last. but not least and deserv-

te-tainment offered by the Schichtl
MGrionettes. from the Winter Garten
Berlin This Is one OF the most In
genioUs, entertaining and original acts
OF its kind the vaudeville world knows.
The figures on the miniature stage are
different to anything else ever pre-
sented in a similar act in the Temple,
and the mechanism is as remarkable
as the varied stunts the mannikins are
made to do. When Herr Schichtl came
forth to make his modest bow the au-
dierce gave him a generous round OF
applause In tribute TO his cleverness

The connections between the tracks

Under the new order of TRANSPORTATION
passengers from Jamaica by transferring

that the trip from Parsons avenue. the

made In forty minutes. More than
100 900 residents of Queens will be benefited
by this direct travel to Manhattan.
Last night the part of Long Island
City south of the bridge plaza, which In
the old days was looked upon as the
Tenderloin Of Queens, was deserted.
There was not even q funeral coach IN

MRS. BELMONT PROTESTS
Against the Lack of women on the Com
mission 60 Consider Equal Pay.

Mrs o. H. p. Belmont has become 80
much Interested in the equal pay question
that she has made up her mind to see
what she can do toward persuading the
Board OF Estimate to appoint as many
women as men on the commission which
@ 70 inquire into the matter OF teachers
salaries. Yesterday she sent copies OF
tho following letter to the Mayor. to
John Purroy Mitchell. President OF the
Board of Aldermen. and to Comptroller
Frendergast:
4 DEAR SIR: The papers say that the
Board OF Estimates commission to con-
8iter the question OF the teachers salaries
n complete and yet they give the names OF
four men and only one woman. | can
hardly believe that this Is possible. The
women hi our schools compose nine-tenths
Of the teaching force. This commission
has been formed because OF the long con-
kinued efforts OF the women teachers to
obtain the justice denied them by an unfair
and obstinate Board OF Education. And
now the commission formed to judge the
rival claims OF the teachers. ntne-tenths
of whom are women, Is made up four-nfths
OF men and one-nfth of womeni This rep
resentation In worse than inverse ratio Is
Incredible!
Let me call your attention to the danger
81 fOiiOWlng so one slueu pOHCS' cuCu
b masculine composition of body ap-
pointed to determine the Justice OF the
womens contention will at once discredit
its fairmindcdness and lay it open to the
criticism of Partially. OF being packed
against the women. Is such a commission
fair to the women OF this city. whether
taxpayers or teachers? In the interest OF
Justice. in the hope that the commission
may bring harmony once more into our
school system. beg that you will add three
more women to the commission. and that
ht least one OF these women shall be. II
possible. in some way representative OF
the teaching body. II not actually.a teacher
capacity,
ask this as a taxpayer in order that
the bitterness and rancor 80 foreign to a
properly conducted school system may be
shortly ended. Very truly yours.

BOSTON. Feb. 5.-Paymaster George P.
Aud, U. s. N, who was tried by court
martial this week said tonight he was OF
the opinion that the court had reported
10 Washington that he was guilty on at
3east one OF the counts pressed against
3him.
He said that had he been acquitted on
all the charges the usual naval procedure
would have been to notify him at once.
As the court did not do this he drew the
foregoing conclusion.
Joseph AuId OF Burlington, VT. father
OF the paymaster. said this afternoon that
In all probability his son would sue in the
United States courts to prevent Secre-
tary of the Navy Meyer from penalizing
him on the ground that he had already
been punished by the Secretary in a pri-
vste letter Of reprimand.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 5.-The record OF
the oourt-martial case OF Paymaster
George p. Aud, who was tried at the
Boston Navy Yard recently. was received
to-day at the NAVY Department. Acting
Secretary Winthrop declined to discuss
or make public the finding of the court
until it has / cen approved. Secretary
Meyer Is out Of town and it Is not believed
that the case will be acted on until his
return.
Joseph Auld OF Vermont, father OF
Paymaster Auld. was at the Department
to-day and had a conference with acting
Secretary Winthrop. The case Is now
being considered by Commander Robert
l.. Russell. Judge Advocate General Of
. tho navy. The fact that Auld's father
visited Secretary Winthrop led TO rumors
that he had been convicted by the court.
1t is believed that TIE Department will be
lenient in dealing with the case OF Pay
master Auld.
