Elsie Janis Has
 Fine Musical Play
Large Audience Enthusiastic Over "The Slim Princess" as Played by Young Star and Capable Company

It was pleased audience that fil- ed out of the Park theatre last night. after seeing Elsie Janis and company in "The Slim Princess" One of the largest and most fashionable audi ences of the season was on hand to greet the young star and it is safe to say that a jollier, cleaner musical comedy has never appeared in this city.
 Elsie Janis, with her slender, grace full figure, her youthful buoyancy and good humOr and her clever mimicry was applauded until she had to beg for mercy. Cant you see,' she ask ed with an appealing smile as she pointed to her youthful swain, 'that
 my lover has came?"
 Miss Janis was particularly happy in her impersona tiOns. Ethel Barry more, Anna Held, Sam Bernard, Ed die Foy and George Conan were all initiated in a manner that brought forth great enthusiasm.
 Joseph Cawthorn, as Prince Louis Won Sch1oppenhauer, was a capable assistant to Miss Janis in the fun making. He and Sam Bernard are the best of the German comedians and last nights audience thought Caw- thorn's work fully as good as the star of the t.He Came from Milwaukee'' company. Cawthorn had two good topical songs, T Like Elm Plump and That's Why I Never Married ''
 w. Douglas Stevenson was capable in the part of Alexander Pike, the rich young man who wanted to marry Princess Kalora, part played by Miss Janis. His duet with Miss Janis, .sBless Your Ever Lovin' Little Heart was the musical hit of the evening and numerous encores were demanded. Oscar Ragland who was seen here at Poli's last season, made a command ing figure as the Governor General of Vorevenia and sang excellently. Four caddies in the Chevy Chase club in the second act sang so well that they had to respond to several encores.
 The rest of the cast was satisfac- tory and the scenery was tasteful and appropriate.

SANTA MARIA COUNCIL
 SURRENDERS CHARTER
First Step in Plan to Consolidate Knights of Columbus Taken
 in New Haven

New Haven, Oct 31.-As a result of the recent educational campaign looking toward the consolidation of the six councils of the Knights of Columbus in this city, and signalizing the first step in that direction, comes the announcement that Santa Maria council at a meeting short time ago voted to sink it's identity as a sepa- rate council and amalgamate with San Salvador council, the oldest coun- cil in the order. The charter of Santa Maria will be surrendered to the na- tional body on January 1 and at that time all moneys in the treasury will be divided on the per capita plan.
 The annual election of officers in San Salvador council takes place at the first meeting in December and the officers Of the absorbed council will come under the Jurisdiction of the newly elected officers as members on a par with the other transferred members of the council.
 There are almost 200 members in Santa Maria council at the present. time. the majority of whom will go to- swell the membership of San Sal vador, which will make its total membership something like 450, a close rival to Russell, the largest in the city. Some have asked for a transfer to Russell council, and hav- ing expressed preference in that direction, will be allowed to join it.
 Although this is the first step in the direction of consolidation, it is by no means certain that all the coun- cils Of the city will follow in that direction. In fact Russell council will never surrender it's charter, it is claimed and the members of San Sal vador council the first in the city, are just as jealous of their identity. In the opinion of leading knights, eventually there will be only three large councils in this city, Russell, San Salvador and Loyal. Lately there has been a disposition among the Knights of Columbus to rehabitate Loyal. and make it a peculiarly Fair Haven council, drawing from that district all its membership. The next step in consolidation, it is said, will be the ama1gamation of Columbia, which has a roll of 80 or 90, Elm City with about the same number and Roderigo, with one of the three larger councils.

Uncle Sans Great Naval Demonstration
 Ec|ipses All Else
fsnecia, from limited Press.)

New York, Oct. 31-New York, which affects to be blase, admitted today that it took Uncle Sam's great navy to furnish a spectacle greater than the most spectacular manager ever at tempted to arrange.
 Last nights illumination of the 102 battleships, cruisers, torpedo boats, destroyers and miscellaneous war craft in the Hudson river, was admitted on all sides today to have been the most gorgeous electrical display ever seen in America, compared with which even the Great White Way was totally ecljpsed.
 Silhouetted in thousands of incan- descent lights, which traced their keels and lattice-work fighting tops as in a fiery scroll, the hundreds of great searchlights beaming straight into the air, the great armada in the Hudson river presented scene that has never been duplicated in this country. This display will be repeated tonight
 The police today estimated that 750OOO persons passed along Riverside Drive and through the park, last night, to witness the illumination.
 After today, every man will be busy preparing the ships for the inspection of Secretary of the Navy Meyer, Wednesday afternoon, and the review of the fleet by President Taft, Thurs day.
 As the fleet steams out to sea, Thursday, passing in review before the Presidential yacht Mayflower, President Taft will witness the great est gathering of warships ever held in American waters Mariners say, too, he will witness the greatest feat in seamanship ever attempted When the Is battleships started for their worlds cruise, passing in review be- fore the Presidents yacht, they had the whole of Hampton Roads in which to maneuver Admiral Osterhaus must take his hundred warships out of the Hudson river, down a stream which bears more traffic than any river in, the world, and out through the Narrows and the lower bay, al- ways packed with shipping. To carry so great an armada out in safety will

 Time Came to Attend Her.

New Britain. Oct. 31-Miss Bessie Alice Stoddard, who was scheduled to be the maid of honor at the wedding of her sister, Miss Mae Elizabeth Stoddard to Theodore G. Natzke, sprung surprise Saturday by getting married five hours ahead of her sis ter to Lewis W. Llyod, one of the ushers at the Natzke-Stoddard nup- tials, so in reality she was a matron of honor at the sisters wedding. The Lloyd -Stoddard wedding took place at the First Church about Il o'clock Leon Cowles acting as best man and Miss Louise Andrews as bridesmaid. Nothing was known about the inten- tion of MT. Lloyd and his bride to get married until about an hour be- fore the ceremony, when they took a raarriage license out at the town clerks office. Then when inquiry was made at the Stoddard home, MT. Natzke's bride, who answered the phone, thought the reporter was jok- ing She was told Mir. Lloyd had taken out a license and she replied it must be dog license.

Trapped By Women
 As Stool Pigeons
Police Use Them to Answer Ad For Sporty" Females Against Man and Wife
Special from United Press.)

New London, Oct 31-Probable cause on charges of holding a female for immoral purposes was found in police court, against Frank Johnson and Mary Johnson, who claim to be man and wife. They were bound over to the superior court under bonds of S1.000 each. The case Is remarkable for the uncommon temer- ity or ignorance of the accused. They sent letter to the postmaster at St. Johns, N. B., asking for sporty women. The letter was turned over to the local police who laid a trap with the assistance of the women de- tectives from the state police depart ment
 The women presented themselves at the Johnson house as candidates for a life of ill fame. The Johnsons painted the life and it's rewards in glowing terms. The stool pigeons gathered sufficient evidence to win the arrests. The records of the pris- oners in the tenderloin districts of other cities are well known to the police

Municipal Primary Election in Los
 Angeles Today
(special from Unfted Press.) ,

Los Angeles, Oct 31.-After the most exciting campaign in the his tory of the city, the municipal prf- mary for the nomination of candf- dates for mayor is being held here, today. Under the law, any candidats receiving a majority of all votes cast at a primary is elected and need not be voted upon at the general election Owing to the fact, however, that there are four prominent mayoralty candf- dates in the field, it is not believed any one will receive a majority This will make it necessary for the two leading candidates to stand before the people on election day, December D.
 It was conceded on all sides. today, that the mayoralty battle was really a. fight between George Alexander. Republican incumbent, and Job Har- riman, Socialist and one of the at torneys for James B. McNamara- Nutshell and Gregory, the other two, are not conceded chance.
 The labor people and radicals nave supported Harriman's campaign II there is no election, today, it is be- lieved the newly enfranchised women will decide the vote at the general election.
 The rush of voters began as soon as the polls opened, today. It IS ex< pected that a tremendous vote will be boiled.

Divorce Granted To English Artist
 From Yankee Wife
On Ground of Misconduct Win Thomas Beecham, Composer,
 and Son of Millionaire Pill
 Manufacturer
Especial from United Press.) ]

London, Oct. s1.-George sher- wood Foster, a well known Engfjsh artist was granted a divorce here. today, from his American wife. for merly Maude Christian iFairfax. ,p the ground of misconduct with Thomas Beecham, the composer. operauc conductor, impressarfo and son of Joseph Beecham, the miIIfon~ a1re pill manufacturer.
 Ine Fosters were married in Lon don, Tn July, 1906, and Foster stated on the witness stand during the trfs1 of the case that he thought his wife LOOK nlm for his money, of which he has a good deal. Two years later. Beecham's father-in-1aw, Dr. Stuart Wells, formerly of New York. intro- duced Beecham to Mrs. Foster, and according to the artist the case was one of love at first sight.
 There was a correspondence be- tween Beecham and Mrs. Foster, at any rate, which both maintain was purely platonic. Foster got hold of some or the letters and steamed them open, after which he had them de- livered to their addresses. He says thought he had sufficient evidence and then began suit. Beecham, witness in the case, was as vigorous as Mrs. Foster in denial of the art ists accusations. The judge. how ever, accepted Fosters story as true.
 As has frequently happened Tn Anglo-American divorce trials, in England, the court seemed to Amerf- can observers of the proceedings, to incline toward the side of it's own countryman's case. Mrs Foster on the witness stand, was not only ss1b- mitted to decidedly rough verbal treatment by her husbands counsel but frequently to such remarks from the bench as: ~
 Madame, you know that's untrue You only say that because you think you will be believed" and really, you don't expect us to accept that story"
 Both Mrs. Foster and Mrs. Beech am are famous for their beauty.
