Harry Lauder, reputed to be the birhesf salaried actor on the world's s stage. comes to the Park Theatre on Thursday, Oct 19, for a matinee per formance only. When the noted Scot fisl1 comedian last left this country his contracts called for his continuous a appearances in England and Scotland for three successive years, and this tour is the result of the efforts o1 xyiJlian, Morris. who paid the Eng fish. booking syndicate $15.000 for a seven weeks release of the noted com edian's contracts. Lauder's appear ance at the Tivoli in London. follow ing his enormous success in the Glas- gow pantomime performances in his new song repertoire, made the English booking managers extremely reluctant to part with the entertainers services in the fall of the year.

isThe Goose Gffl', the dramatlzeu version of the popular novel by liar old MacGrath, which is to be the cur rent attraction at the Park Theatre next Tuesday. matinee and night, IS far more pleasing and attractive play than is usually presented at popular priced theatres Unlike other plays derived from popular novels, none or the effectiveness of the story IS lost in the efforts to, faithfully carry out fhe story of the book
 TO those who have read and enjoyed the novel it is all the more pleasing as play. None of the hero1cs are lost. none of it's romance curtailed and little of the higher qualities missing.
 From a dramatic standpoint, The Goose Girr' easily takes it's place with the best offerings placed before thea tresoers. The play is consistently written and revels in thrilling dramatic scenes and situations. which are not confined to one or two particular acts tnt which are spread throughout the entire four acts of the play. The dramatization of the book IS an ad- u,irable one, far in excess of what IS usually presented

Minister Will Preach
For Districts Dead

Dr. w. c. Fowler. inspector Of con-
tagious diseases for the Health Depart
ment, said today that the name of the
Rev. 8. p. Drew was the only preacher
who had offered his services through
the Health Department for celebrating
funeral rites over the bodies Of those
who are buried at the expense of the
District. When DR.. Fowler was notified
by the Morsuemaster that a body was
to be cremated, as are the bodies Of all
those for whom the District must pro-
vide burial, he, therefore, called upon
the Rev. Drew, who responded affirma-
lively to the appeal.
Approximately $50 adults and $50 in
fants are cremated by the District every
year. Their ashes are kept IN earthen
urns, each marked to show Of whom the
dishes are the remains. The urns are
held by the authorities for a year, with
in which the ashes may be claimed by
the appropriate parties. II they are un-
claimed, tho eshes are removed from
the urns and buried, there being no
mark to the grave.

Secret Service Looks
For Counterfeit Gang

Government Secret Service men are
on the lookout for a Black Hand coun-
terfeiting gang-allied to the one that
was broken up in New York two years
ago-that is circulating forged 81 notes.
The fraudulent currency has been max
ing its appearance in many sections OF
the country including Detroit and Cleve-
land.
The Government experts declare the
notes were printed from a plate that
was a duplicate of the one used by the
Black Hand counterfeiters sent to the
Federal penitentiary for a long term
two years ago.
At the time Of the capture Of this
desperate gaang of coiners set OF
plates was destroyed. The Secret Ser
vice men now believe a duplicate set of
plates is in existence, and that new
gang has arisen.
The officers believe the men have
plant in Toledo. Ohio, but when raided
this morning the house where the coun-
terfeiters are said to have had their
apparatus and equipment was closed
and nothing was found by an inspection.

Cutter Bears Reports Clear
Mystery of Hot Wealth
er Here.

At last. some needed light has been
thrown on the question OF what was
the matter with the weather in the
hottest days Of this summer. when the
whole United States from one end to
the other was suffocating. and tho gasp
ing weather sharps of the Weather Ru-
tory explanation.
1t has remained for the Revenue Cut
ter Service to find out that the Arctic
circle regions themselves got warmed
up and there was something approach
ing an ice famine up toward the North
Pole. Under the circumstances, 1t is
not to be wondered that this country
suffered.
The hot belt which caused so much
complaint here went clear Deyonu tne

SENATOR CUMM|NS
FOR la TOILETTE,
SCORES PRESIDENT
Iowa Leader Declares for
Wisconsin Man-Means
War on Taft.

Accentuating the fact there is war
ON between President Taft and the in
surgent leaders in Congress and almost
chusetts speech, in which he attacked
La Toilette and his insurgent associates
who. worked with the Democrats for
1ariff revision, Senator Cummins of
Iowa has come out in an interview for
La Toilette for President.
Senator Cummins made his pronounce
ment soon after reaching Iowa after
the close of the session. A copy of II
reached here today. His declaration
for La Toilette is of the more moment
because the Wisconsin Senator has
been trying to get Cummins to take an
active hand in promoting the La Fol-
leAte boom. Senator Cumrnlns has
hitheSto refused to do this. Moreover,
Cummins has been looked on himself as
a Presidential aspirant
Criticising the vetoes of the wool
bill and the free list bill by the Presi-
dent, Senator Cummins expressed dis
approval of Taft for denomination. He
said he did not consider Taft took the
progressive view, and that the Presi-
dent was out of harmony with the
political views of the rank and file
of the Republican party.
CQmmending La Toilette as his own
personal choice for President and
criticising Taft Senator Cummins
said:
Personally. 1 am opposed to Presi-
dent Taft. If had my way, he would
not be the choice of the Republican
national convention, and If 1t were
possible for me to prevent IL, l do not
hesitate to say that l would do so
La Toilette stands for legislation
which is perfectly safe and sane not
withdrawing the efforts that have
been made by his enemies to discredit
him as unsafe. His judgment On great
questions is reliable, and the accusa-
tions of being erratic and an unsafe
radical are made without any founda-
tion whatsoever.
His views are sound, and the intense
earnestness with which he fights is the
only thing that leads many to the erro-
neous belief that he IS unsafe"
Senator Cummins did not go to the
point Of declaring he would lead a fight
in Iowa to wrest the State from Taft,
but the interview he has given out will
undoubtedly prove signal for many OF
his followers to busy themselves in be-
half of La Toilette.
Senator Cummins said he saw little
hope for tariff legislation next winter.
He saw plenty of indications a Demo-
cratic House would refuse to follow any
suggestions from the President on tarir.
