New National.

A large audience was present at the
New National Theater last night and
gave every evidence that it was glad of it.
Judging from the applause the first
nighters hoped the announcement Ade-
line Genees farewell engagement will not
prove true.
This musical comedy, in two acts is
one of the best fantasies of song, dane
ing and music that has been presented in
washington this season. Genee, star of
dancers, is not only provided with pre-
tentious vehicle to portray her unique
art, but her supporting players have am
pie opportunity to shine as clever singers,
comedians and ingenues in the potpourri
of gayety.
The Bachelor Bellies" individually and
collectively, are featured with spectacu-
lar effect. These young women display
remarkable grace and rhythm, and divide
the honors with the comedians headed
by Frank Laler who starred in Coming
ThrO' the Rye" four seasons ago.
The songs and accompaniment are
catchy, and each number won it's encOres.
AS usual with musical comedies. the plot
tity serving to further the theme of the
music Harry B. Smith and Raymond
Hubbe'l in writing the piece have used
special features to engage the attention
and Gepsnd on spectacular effects to keep
the show moving. The trick scenery in
the first act is a distinct novelty that
made the audience gasp in admira ton
and then applaud. The set scenes in
the last act are beautiful stage pictures.

ceived generous share of the paudits.

mirth. and exhausted the encores of his
several songs. Ruth PEBBLES, Josie Sad

ed the honors among the feminine prin-
cipals. What the chorus lacks in num-
bers is made up in vivaciOus grace. and

LEARY DAMAGE SUIT HALTED.
Attorney for Street Car Company
Moves to Take Case From Jury.

The trial of the suit of John ].
Leary of Calumet against the Hough-
ton County Traction company in the
circuit court this morning was halted
by a motion of Attorney Rees on be-
half of the company to take the case
from the jury and give the verdict to
the defendant company on the grounds
of contributory negligence. The plain
tiff. who is represented in the case by
Attorneys O'Brien 81 LeGendrc,
claims TO have received injuries to
his foot by falling from the top of one
of the company's cars after fixing the
trolley pole. hh
The plaintiff sets up that the reason
for his fall was because a foot step
was missing from the side of the car.
Attorney Rees, in support of his mo-
ton. contended that the plaintiff
should have inspected the car and
have made known that the step was
missing. Both Attorneys O'Brien and
LcGcndre spoke against the motion
and submitted many authorities in ia
vor of their contentious but, as they
desired additional time in which to
look up other authorities, recess was
taken until this afternoon.

MICHIGAN HIGHWAYS ARE
BEING RAPIDLY IMPROVED

During the past fiscal year the state
OF Michigan has expended one-half as
much money for good roads as the
total amount expended in the four
preceding years.
The figures at the department of the
highway commissioner prove conclu-
sively that Michigan is making gigan-
tic strides i'm the task of improving
her highways and the vast amount of
money which the state has expended
in awards, is but small portion OF
the total which the various township
and county organizations are expend-
ing I'm order To win these awards.
The records show that during the
fiscal year which ends July /, the
state has already spent s131,600 and
this amount will probably be increased
by two or three thousand before the
first of next month. The records also
show that during the four years pre-
ceding July 1. the state expended
s265,506. The amount spent this year
is therefore almost one-half as large
as the total expenditure of the four
years preceding it, or in other words
two years work has been crowded into

and present their case.
This action follows careful in
quiry made by Mr.. Mclaughlin and
by the Indian bureau at his request
Tentative Investigation of the bureau
indicates that the government owes
these Indians 100000 principal and
interest at 6 per cent since 1855. ag-
gregating about 100000. This pay
mcnt is due under a treaty made about
