POLLS

The play that first brought Douglas
real prominence was "a Gentleman
From Mississippi one of the most
successful plays of the past decade
and successful more than all else be-
cause it dealt with corruption in poll
tics along straight from the shoulder
and was problematic in no part. When
a graft hunt is started in Washington
it is started along big lines. How a
corrupt land grabbing ring attempted
to debauch a southern Senator and
his able private secretary forms the
plot of this great play which the very
able Poll players will produce next
to be the sensation in dramatics Of the
stock season. The author has seized
on incidents of life in the national
capital and framed therefrom a play
of very entertaining quality. A new
Senator comes to Washington practi-
cally inexperienced in the wiles OF
politicians. Because he is SO honest
and so simple the little coterie which
swings political favor in his common
wealth selected him as "eminently
safe for the interests they represent.
In Washington however this senator
encounters a bright newspaper man
whom he engages as his private Sec
the private secretary was sophisticat-
ed. The latter man ages to extri-
cate the Senator from some very en-
barrassing situations. He also wins
a charming girl for a wife and thus
love and politics sometimes do mix.
Charles Schofield whose work as kid
Burns was a revelation will assume
the Tom Wise role of the Senator and
John Ince will be seen in the Douglas
Fairbanks role of bud Haines.' Miss
Anne Hollinger the splendidly capable
actress will play the leading feminine
role and the other members of the
company notably john Junior lsa-
dore Martin, Frank Kirke, Tom Moore,
Joseph Eggenton, Gordon Domaine and
Carl Randolf will be happily cast
while the play will show two new
members specially engaged Miss Olive
and Miss Jane Otey the latter having
been the original widow in the New
York production. Stage Director So
cola will give the production one of
his mastery presentations and Scenic
Artist earns has painted some Won
derful scenery for the production. Be

valued at sixty-fve dollars which has
been on exhibition in the window Of

away. The management regrets the
fact that many were unable to get
seats for ''Forty-Five Minutes from
Broadway and the suggestion is
made that it is always good policy
to order, seats in advance. Mail and
telephone orders will receive the best
attention and every courtesy. Today

MODERN RAT
The FINEST OF
ALL CAME BIRDS
Hunters on the William Street
Dump Turn Out by the
Score
Rodents Furnish Them With
Moving Targets That Test
Their Workmanship

Armed with pop guns, air rifles,
shot guns. cannon, repeating rifles,
pistols, smooth bore muskets and ev-
erything short of gatling guns, a
score of marksmen hav e been at
work for several days attempting to
extinguish the willy rats who inhabit
the dump at the end of William street
extension.
The hunters are cheered in their
work by large galleries of spectators,
but to date the result has not been
encouraging. AS one of the hunters
put it:
These rats are the slickest game
birds that L ever went AFTER
From present indications it looks
as though the prolific rats will be
able to hold their own against the
work of eXterminati ton in which case
Bridgeport will possess one of the
most unique permanent hunting fields
in the, country, with moving targets.
1t will be something after the plan
of Wimbledon in England but more
sporty
Yesterday a man who said that he
had served in the German army APP
peared on the scene with a couple of
trained Daschunds and a huge re-
peating rifle. The Daschunds looked
SO like the rats at little distance
that the other hunters grew confus-
ed and forced the owner of the dogs
to withdraw them, which he did in
some indignation.
The rats themselves are wary as
can be. They skate across the field
like grey streak of light. followed
generally by a volley of bullets
About two dozen have been "potted''
thus far by the hunters, but the ro-
dent colony is now growing craftier
and is keeping under cover until the
hour of dusk when it is very difficult
to obtain a good sight on them
and the Workmanship is correspond
ingly wild
Last night the firing was so con-
tinuous and widespread that it sound
ed like the battle of the Boyne. A
large crowd of spectators at a safe
distance cheered on the rat hunters.
The noise was so persistent that Pa
trolman Fred Marco, who lives a
short distance away, walked over to
the field and warned the hunters that
they must cease firing or else get a
permit from Superintendent Birm-
ingham.
Il like his nerve,' said one of them,
stopping us like that whe3 we are
performing a public service"
This morning large number Of
the hunters of yesterday started over
town with the avowed Intention of
seeing Supt. Birmingham and securing
his permission if possible to go on
with the war on the rats.

SCHOOL NOTES

1t has been the plan of Supt.
Lewis to have the prominent people
of the town address the high school
from time to time. The first of the
series of lectures was last Friday when
Mr.. Scott Z. Henderson addressed
the pupils. He gave very interesting
and helpful talk, advising the high
school pupils to grasp their oppor-
tunities. He also advised them to
learn all they could in school and
study the political conditions of their
country, state and town; for, he
said, 80 per cent of the people do
not cast intelligent ballots because
they do not have the proper educa-
ton. The talk was very helpful and
it is to be hoped the students will
profit by it. Next Wednesday. Mr..
Fraser, pastor of the Presbyterian
church will address the high school.
1t is not certain yet but the date
for the foot ball game with Grand
view, which was to be the 18th of
November, will likely be changed
to the 18th.
On account of the illness of Miss
Williams this week, Miss Church has
taught the seventh grade.

Nellie Hoadley, Merrill Rowson and

walton of our natural resources.
On the Prosser team are Alfred
