FUN, LAUGHTER AND SONG
KEYNOTES AT PROCTOR'S,

Naught is sad at Proctor's Park
Place Theatre this week. Several
laughs, considerable singing, good. bad
and Indifferent; some clever dancing,
and little boring make up a fairly
good bill.
OF course, Gus Edwards "Kountry
Kids" appearing In hodge-podge OF
song entitled Miss Roses Birthday"
are the headliners. Seven people are
in the cast and their character work
as kids" is. uniformly excellent. Six
songs and two specialties are given
during the act. The best of these Is
Lucy Anna LOU" sung by Charles
Gilmore
The palm for second place is evenly
balanced between the Farrell Taylor
trio and Robert H. Hodge and COM
pany, presenting Troubles of Bill
Blithers, Bachelor" The Farrel-Tay-
lor humor is of the fashioned
minstrel variety. and is 1Skarat all
the way through. The Hodge farce is
one of the best, although among the
simplest that has been recently pre-
sented at the local playhouse. Little
Amy Butler, with a weii-trained quar-
tet, sings several songs with commend
able verve and dash. although her voice
is hard and forced.
Carbrey Brothers do some fancy
stepping that will make a hit when
the rough corners OF their act become
smoothed out. The rest of the bill:
The worst of them Is Robert Turner,
lecturer. He was suffering from bad
cold last night and was hampered in
voice. Saona, very affected, did some
fairly good character "make-up' work

INSPECTOR MAYER
SHIFTED TOST.LOUIS
Change Not Caused by United
Wireless Raid.

POst-of1ce Inspector Mayer, Of New
York. is to be transferred to St. Louis,
and Inspector Dickson. OF ST. Louis. is
to be brought to New York
This change viii go into effect on July
I, and was decided upon by the officials
OF the Post-office department q good
while ago. It is not due in any way to
recent developments in New York in re-
gard to the United Wireless Company.
Inspector Mayer is being transferred
from the New York Office because the
department officials believe that the
change will result IN putting more en-
ergy into that Office.
1t developed here yesterday that the
recent raid upon the United Wireless was
not the work of Inspector Mayer and
his assistants. The case against the
United Wireless Company has been
hanging fire IN the New York Office since
1907, and recently Postmaster General
Hitchcock became dissatisfied with the
way things We're moving and sent the
chief inspector at Washington and four
of the best men in the service on the
case. and they cleaned It up in three
weeks.
The men who turned the trick were
Chief Inspector Sharp, of Washington,
and Inspectors Keefe. Washington.
Birdseye, of Cincinnati. Simmons. of St.
Paul. and Greenaway. of Chattanooga.
The transfer of Inspector Mayer had
been ordered, however, some time before
the United Wireless case became acute.
Incidentally, this United Wireless case
is only one of a number of big cases in
several sections of the country that have
been slumbering for varying periods.

TAFT BILL HALTED.
Senate Adds 100000 Bond Issue
for Reclamation Work.

The withdrawal bill which the admin
istration got through the Senate Wednes-
day and which it was predicted might go
to conference at once, ran into a snag
yesterday that may delay it's enactment
into law.
The Senate tackled onto the withdrawal
bill a provision for appropriating a $780,
100000 bond issue for reclamation work
The conservation bill which has passed
the House has no provision In it, and no
agreement could be reached under the
rules on this clause in conference.
The House, 1t was said, must take up
the bond issue proposition separately.
This Will take some time.
