audience was not satisfied. And
those curtain calls were numer-
Gus last night. Every seat had
besn sold before the performance
opened and the hundreds that
came late had to go away dlsap-
pointed. The crowd was out for
enjoyment and they could not get
too much of good thing. even IL
a man or woman was overworked
to please them.
The reporter watched the won-
ders that are worked with the
vast array of flies and drops and
electric lights. He looked far UP

countless ropes passed over pull
leys and huge weights that are
used to balance the curtains hung
suspended though by a hair.
The great big act at the Grand
this week is THE Balloon Girl"
All the readers want to know
how that pretty little brunette
she weighs 1913 pounds-soars
away out over the heads of the
folks down in the bald-head row.
But that is a secret. IT is a
pity that It cannot be revealed
now, for the working of that mys-
FERROUS little aircraft is quite as
entertaining as the act itself: but
as the stage was pitch dark, the
reporter knows just about as
much OF the secret as he did be-
fore.

The reporter visited the dress
ing rooms below the stage and
found them coy. A large card
with a notice in big type is in a
position SO conspicuous that it
immediately attracts attention. 1t
probably accounts for the popu-
larity OF the Grand. 1T reads as
follows:
IF there is anything suggestive
in your act cut 1t out. Even IL It

FIRE PENSION
FUND HAS
PROBE

The new commission today met
with firemen and reorganized the
firemen's pension association.
A lot of firemen asked for ben
efits amounting to several hun
dred dollars, and one case will be
in for $1,000.
The commissioners did not
know about it. They started
things by electing DR.. Charles
McCreary and DR.. Reed firemen's
physicians, and when they ap-
prove the claims they will consid-
er them.
One man was found to be rus
ticating at hot springs in eastern
Washington. Whether he is sick
or we'll nobody knows. But he
wants $3.50 a month while he
is away.
Mayor Fawcett also insisted on
cutting lot of doctor bills. He

NAVAL OFFICERS RETIRED.

WASHINGTON, July 7.-Following
the policy that naval officers are to be
retired in some cases prior to the ma
tural ending of their term of service,
in order that new blood may be
brought into the higher commanding
positions in the navy, the retiring
board yesterday announced the names
of Captain Underwood, Captain Weed
er and Captain Wright for retirement.
Captain Underwood, who is number
fourteen on the list of captains, would
have under ordinary circumstances
until 1915 to serve, when through 9th
er retirements he would have been ad-
vanced to the rauk of rear-admiral.
Captain Veeder's retiring period is in
1915 and that of Captain Wright in
1918.

WHAT ABOUT PERSONAL LIBER.
TX7

An Associated Press dispatch from
Chicago says that thirty breweries,
including some of the largest in the
country, have joined with the Chicago
police in their crusade against the
selling of liquor in the Tenderloin re-
sorts. These brewers have given
Police Chief Stewart a written guaran-
tee that they will assist in preventing
the sale of intoxicating liquors in all
resorts in the city, and will not de-
liver beer to any resort that has been
placed under the ban.
"The brewers have made it plain
that the administration of any large
city can prohibit the sale of liquors
in dens of vice if the administration
so DESIRES" said one of the brewers.
But what about the personal liberty
OF these people? Are they to be de-
MED their rights" simply because
such course is necessary to the good

ONE PREACHER
KILLS ANOTHER

WILLIAMSBURG, KY, June 1S-For
the death of Rev. DR.. Robert Vanover,
who was killed last evening in duel
with Rev. Isaac Perry in the pulpit of
the Rock Creek Baptist Church, in
Whitley county, near here, Perry has
been arrested and is now in Jail with
his cousin Blaine Perry.
One hundred and fifty witnesses will
be heard when the coroner's inquest
is held, Monday. All these people
were present when the fight occurred.
The majority of them are said to have
stood up in their seats and yelled for
their favorite to beat the other side
down.
Blaine Perry is said by many mem
bers of the congregation to have step
ped into the pulpit before a knife
had been drawn and to have wrestled
to get Vanover from the pulpit.
VanoVer's Throat Cut.
Vanover was stabbed about the
body several times. His throat was
cut in four different places. A slash
of the knife across the jugular vein
caused death.
The trouble all arose over serious
charges registered with the trustees
against Vanover, which resulted in his
being asked to resign. Perry was
placed in his pulpit to have charge of
the congregation until the trustees
should select another minister.
Vanover demonstrated, and told the
members of the board of trustees that
he had right to his pulpit and would
remain in the charge until the accusa-
tons were proved. But the trustees
saw the matter in a different light.
Last evening the board of trustees
hold secret meeting in the church,
Vanover was excluded. He beat upon
the door and demanded entrance but
was told it would not be given him.
Fight For Pulpit.
When the board Of trustees adjourn
ed and the congregation entered, Van
over came into the church. He walked
up to the pulpit occupied by Perry,
and started to speak to the congrega-
ton.
Perry turned to him and said he had
best leave the church. Vanover said
he would not do so. Then Perry grab
bed Vanover and tried to force him
out.
They wrestled about for a minute.
Then Blaine Perry ran up to the pul.
pit to help his cousin.
Knives were drawn instantly. In less
time than it takes to tell the story
Vanover fell to the floor, his neck bad.
ly cut.
Two Vanover adherents in the con.
gregation ran for doctor. The minis.
ter expired before he could be reached.
Perry and his cousin were arrested
later on charges of cutting to kill.
This morning they were indicted by
the grand jury.
Mark and Sam Perry and Hustler
and James Reed were all arrested bv
the sheriff, but are at liberty under
guard OF deputies. Eight others who
were close to the pulpit when the duel
took place are under suspicion, and
will probably be arrested in a dav or
so.

Feud May Follow EIGHT.

NanoVer's relatives have sworn ven
geance upon the Perrys for their re-
latlVes death. They say they saw the
way the fight was carried on, and that
.Vanover was entirely innocent. The
Perrys, on the other hand, say that
Vanover first drew a knife. They then
drew their weapons to defend them
selves, they assert.
The Vanovers say that unless the
jury convicts both Perry and hi
cousin for the killing, and sentences
them to be hung, they will take a.
hand and see that they die for the
crime they committed.
Vanover was well known throughout
this portion of Kentucky. He is sur
vived by his widow and their five
children
lie has held several charges in this
section, and was quite popular until
the charges were made against him.
Then the majority of the people turn
ed the other way.
Hanover Was Circuit Rider.
r After an investigation of the fight
the authorities of Whitley county
found evidence duplicating eight other
persons besides the Rev. Isaac Perry
and his brother in the killing, accord
ing to later reports from Williams
burg.
The authorities were not ready to
announce whether this evidence show
ed a consniracv 70 do ou,a,, with NTo,,
over or whether the eight unnamed
person became involved after the fight
started.
Vanover was one of the most widely
known mountain preachers in the
state. He rode circuit" for many
years and had acquired considerable
reputation by his susess in the re-
mote communities to which his work
called him.

Capt. Hibberd Addresses Trans

Merchant Vessels
Steamers With American Reg

That the general commercial ae-
the ships flying the American flag was
one of the points made by Captain /
n Hibberd, one of the speakers of the
Merchant Marine league of California
in an address before about 100 mem
bers of the Transportation club at their
weekly luncheon in the clubrooms in

After having been presented by v

Captain Hibberd recalled the days
when America was mistress of the
seas" When many ships changed to
English registry at the outbreak of the
civil war few returned to American
registry. He spoke also of the greater
cost of operating American ships with
American crews.

cargo is then delivered in San

be distributed to the various places

consumed. These goods may go as

New York before they are disposed
of. and every pound of freight thus
handled is distinct benefit to some
