Roma, Baron Bonelli and David Rossi
again on the stage, and the text adapted
to illustrate the social problem which he
has been discussing in The Daily Tele-
graph"
II is doubtful whether casual theatre
goers can find III it an authoritative eX-
position Of the relative rights and re-
sponsibilities of the sexes in the sight of
God and man, nor will critical observers
discover either an improved literary
quality in the text or workmanlike con-
struction OF an artistic drama. Such
success as 1t commands is due to the
vivid acting OF the three chief perform
ers-Miss TittelI Bruno Guy Standing
and Vernon Steel. They impaired in
tensity of interest to the various situa-
rions of q crude and superheated melo-
drama simplified and written down to
the intelligence of an emotional pit.

WQRkMEN AGAINST STRIKE

Not Great, It Is Said.

Bilbao. Spain. Aug. 1.-THE majority OF
the Spanish workmen, 1t is said by the
government, are not in favor OF the gem

Federation to begin next Monday The
probability of It's success, IL is said, is not
great The bakers and the employees of the
street railways and the electric lighting
plants have refused TO join the strike,
which viii deprive it Of much Of its effect
on the routine Of everyday life.
There is Il possibility that the ringleaders
of the movement may be prosecuted for
violating the law, since the Spanish labor
legislation requires that a weeks notice
be given Of prospective strikes.

There is more trouble brewing in

nose and that Harmon never woke
up to the fact until number of
complaints came in through his col
lectors that the city was not getting
the money it should receive. If
this report is true it may account
for some of the deficits that have
shown in the earnings of the crema-
tory department in some months of
the past year.
Harmon has not yet lined up
Davenport's restaurant or the Hotel

city ordinances governing the crem-
atory. These institutions seem to
be immune against the operation of
the crematory laws.

CHARGES WORRY
SHERIFF MAG
PUGH
GOOD NATIONS SHOWN TO BE
SADLY NEEDED AT THE
COUNTY JAIL.

Sheriff NICK. Pugh is a candidate
for denomination before the primar
les. Certain things have been pub
lished in the way of affidavits
charging immortality to some of his
deputies in their relation to the
women prisoners that is bothering
the sheriff somewhat.
Two such affidavits have been
published, one by Mable Smith and
the other by J. H. Elliott, but no de-
NAL has gone forth from the sher-
ifs office. 1t is known that some
of the sheriff's deputies sought out
one of the women supposed to be
connected with some of the alleged
misconduct within the county Jail
and solicited her to give an affi-
davit denying the charges of ]. Fl.
Elliott. The woman refused to give
the affidavit and said that instead
she would show up county Jail con-
ditions in bad light when she got
ready to tell all that she knew.
The names of other witnesses as
to alleged orgies within the walls Of
the county Jail have been given and
it is probable that conditions will
be shown to have existed in recent
months within the county jail that
are as bad, if not worse, than have
prevailed within the city Jail. All
of this will be published in due
time, SO that the people may know
what has been going on there.
The late grand jury recommended
that matrons be employed at the
county Jail. Thus far the county
commissioners have placed no mat
rons there. There is need of the
care of women prisoners by women
at the county jail fully as much as
at the city Jail and the commission
ers should see that women are
given the protection there that I'M
der the law they are entitled to.

the discovery of the north pole was
told King George today by Com.
mander Robert E. Peary. Peary was
received by the king, who asked
the American naval officer to tell

King George said that he hoped
that Captain Scott, the English eX-

the south pole, would succeed.
Il wish Captain Scott would dis
cover the south pole, so the Anglo
Saxon race would get credit for dis
