Scene From Bohemian Girl
Al H. Wilson

Al H. Wilson
 Al H. Wilson, America's foremost Ger man comedian, who occupies a prominent position in the front ranks of Teutonic comedians, and who has built up cli- fentele that equals the proportion of that seajoyed by the elder Emmett, of pleas Eant memory, will be the attraction at sthe Jefferson theatre next Tuesday, when @lle will present his new comedy success, Is.i German Prince
 # "A German Prince.' which is from the pen of the late A. c. Gunter, has proved welcome as Jan open place in the tangled .soddeny wood of problem plays that weary aand entangle. There is a hint of com oGy in the title, but the play itself is | something better than the average com .dy and there is no problem here. You 4are not called upon to decide what course ,fa wronsedi an outraged husband should pursue, nor watch a young and very se- fious married couple tread the hazard sous channels of married life. There is .snone of this in MT. Wilson's latest of ferrg. You are called upon to do noth- ing more 1aborious than witness the tria. rand vicissitudes that beset the path of d free and A easy going young G8man Nho has turn for a practical joke. The comedy situations are many, but withal ,they do not become tiresome..
 The story tells of the many humorous adventures of an impoverished German Prince reduced to a position where he has to accept employment as a guide with a party of Americans who are. maS- ing tour of Germany and the Austrian g'yrol. Members of the party are an ec- centric old widow and her niece, a charm Ing young heress
 r The true identity of the prince is un- known 4. to the tourists, and the widow sLecomes infatuated with him as the guide willie he in turn is smitten with the fcnarms of the niece. The plot scintillates with mirth provoking situations caused by .the efforts of the prince to escape the clutches of the designing widow who desires to make him her husband and at the same time win the love of the niece without. the widow discovering his Wilson play would be complete were not mention made of the musical part of the rerformance, With each new production Mir Wilson can be depended upon for, several catchy songs that are new, and he has not made an exception this season. Throughout the. rapid action of the com edy afe interspersed several tuneful mel 1sodies that will be appreciated by those who admire the Wilson style of songs 1Nctef of which is .'When You Part From the Girl You Love- and "Her Smile" two songs which give his voice oppor- unity for great range and expression There are other songs no less captivating including d medley composed of the old favorites so dear to the hearts of his many admirers.

PRAIRIE DOGS
Theo. H. Scheffer of U. s. Biological Survey Plans to Clean Pests
 From COcOnino Forest

Mir. Theo. H. Scheffer, assistant of the U. $. Biological Survey, re. gently arrived in Flagstaff to in- vestigate the prairie dog problem, and will undertake the practical extermination of the pest within the limits of the Coconino national forest.
 To secure necessary information and the cooperation of ranchers and others, he has sent out cir cular letter, asking the following questions:
 I. Are prairie dogs present on your claim or on grazing lands under your control3 If so, make a rough estimate of the acreage infested.
 2. In what way have prairie dogs damaged your interests, and to what extent (estimate in money value if possible)?
 3. If you have tried any meth 'od oi destroying the prairie dogs, state plan or plans you followed and results.
 Prairie dogs have wrought great damage to dry ranchers, and it is hoped MT. Scheffer can devise ways and means of a wholesale slaughter of the pests. He is an expert in the business and his work will be of great assistance to ranchmen, who should, in their own interest, give him all the help possible.

Chalmers Owners
 Send Best Letters

Not long ago the "Oklahoman" |" oi Oklahoma City offered four prizes for the best answers to the question; If you were going to buy an automobile and had less than s2ooo to spend what machine would you buy and why2" A number of owners of Chalmers cars sent letters to the Oklaho- man. The first prize was given to Ada Wild, 1915 East 9th Street, Oklahoma City. Two other prizes were awarded to Miss Leuna Hor- sley, 6I71a North Oklahoma Ave. 1, Oklahoma City, and John Wild, IoI5 East 9th Street, Oklahoma City. These were all Chalmers letters. The name of the person who won the fourth prize hasn' t come to our attention.
 For the benefit of Chalmers salesmen who may want to know just what appeals to the prospec- tive owner of a motor car we re- print below the letter which won first prize
 The Daily Oklahoman, City.
 Gentlemen:-Why l consider the Chalmers go" the best car selling under Sa, ,ooo(-)
 Because it has the most beauti- iul lines, finish and upholstery.
 Because the tonneau is roomy and the cushions tilted, making it extremely comfortable for passen- gers.
 Because it is so easy to drive having only one pedal which con- trols both service brake and clutch when brake is put on.
 Because the steering wheel is very large, giving the driver per feet control of the car.
 Because it has double drop frame, which makes the body lower and holds to the road when driving through rough country.
 Because it is equipped with a Bosch Magnetic and has full float ing rear axle.
 Because it has an extra heavy frame, strong wheels, torque arm and body.
 Because it has a powerful motor and negotiates sand, mud and hills with the greatest ease.
 Because it won the Glidden tour competing with cars twice it's price and power.
 Because both the manufacturers and dealers take the best of care of their owners cars, which ac- counts for their widespread popu- larity.
 Because it combines speed, quality and beauty, making it the only car to buy.
 Yours truly,
 Ada Wild, IoI5

COL. ASTOR'S PARTY

GREENPORT, L. l., Aug. I.-Thc
yacht Noma, with Col. John Jacob AS
tor and his fiancee, Miss Madeleine T.
Force and her father on board, is In
Little Peconic Bay at anchor on the
east side of Robins Island, few miles
to the south of the little fishing village
of New Suffolk.
When news spread through the village
and the neighboring country that the
Noma was in the bay hundreds of craft,
from rowboatS to power launches, put
out from shore, and scores of these
craft hovered near the yacht. Many
boats made excursion trips between the
shore and the Noma, taking out per-
sons who were anxious to see Colonel
Astor and his fiancee.
Curious ones were not disappointed,
for Miss Force, who seemed to be
amused greatly at the gathering of
small craft, remained on deck; Later.
she and Colonel Astor stepped aboard
the high power launch of the Noma and
were taken to Robins Island. Several
other launches tried to keep up with
their boat, but they were distanced.
Colonel Astor refused to discuss his
plans. He would not say how long the
Noma would remain in Little Peconic
Bay or what her destination would be
when she left.
I'VE came here for a little rest, and
our one desire is to be left alone" he
said.
In New Suffolk it was reported that
one of the crew, who came ashore dur
ing the day. said the Noma might go
to Southampton tomorrow and Colonel
Astor and Miss Force take trip to the
links of the Shinnecock Golf Club.

degree, then the judge imposes the
sentence of death; in the other de-
grees the punishment 10 fixed by the

by frost. The orchard contains 600

CLOSING ARGUMENTS.
VOORHEES, and Garner End Speeches
in Murder Trial With Strong
Arguments.

J. c.. VOORHEES, spoke In behalf OF
the defendant this morning in the
Green murder trial, and was followed
Immediately by Gen. J. B. Garner,
who closed the arguments. The
Judge delivered his charge to the jury
at 11:30
Mr.. VOORHEES, went over the case
carefully, and made a strong presen-
tation of the evidence favorable to
to the defendant. He summed up the
statements of the witnesses, and pre-
scented the case to the jury in COM
pact form. His speech occupied an
hour and a half.
Mr. Garner followed with brilliant
argument of one hour and half, in
which he devoted most of his time to
the testimony of Green himself. He
compared the defendant to Shylock,
who demanded what his bond called
for, and said that he was determined
to build the fence so as to include so
much land, even though 1t was worth
less, as he could. He said that
Green had consulted a lawyer, who
told him that although he had right
to build the fence there, according to
law, he must respect the road. The
fence was partnership fence, and
Green had started to move it without
consulting the other partner, Knight.
Knight, said Mr.. Garner, did not OBJ
tect to the building of the fence, but
he wanted 1t built so as to leave a
clear roadway. The circuit court
room was crowded to hear Gen. Gar
ner, probably 600 people being pres
ent. This is the largest number that
has been at the trial since it opened.
