MILES.

In spite OF the near-blizZard. a good
crowd was on hand In the Miles the
alter, Monday afternoon. to greet
Anna Eva Fay, ''the mystiIyer OF
multitudes," on her first appearance
in Detroit in five years. Miss Fay ap-
parently Is not a day older than when
she was last seen here, nor has her
entertainment lost any OF its charm.
Her cabinet mystery" in which she
is bound hand and foot and fastened
to board, nailed to the floor In an
upright position, still causes spec
tators to sit in wonderment as tam
bourines, bells and other articles
come tumbling through the hole in the
curtained cabinet.
II is Miss Fay's mind reading" per-
Torrance at the very close of the
show that excites the greatest inter-
est, however. Sitting on temporary
platform over the footlights, blind
folded and with a sheet thrown over
her, she answers questions that have
been written out earlier in the per-
Torrance by people in the audience.
IL Is the same exhibition that she has
given here many times before, but 1t
Is still entertaining and some of her
answers seem quite remarkable.
In the fun-making line Billy X.
Wells easily captures the first honors
on the new bill. He Is billed as the
Hebrew orator" and his oratory is Of
the mixed brand that inevitably makes
for a good laugh. He also has a med
ley OF parodies that is original and
diverting.
Romano Brothers, pair of athletes
who show wonderful physical develop
ment, present an artistic and thor
oughly entertaining exhibition which
Is above the average for this kind OF
an act. They give living poses of an
Gent statuary and also series of
poses illustrating the punches OF fam
Gus prizefghters. The larger brother
is a veritable giant and his presence
on the bill is interesting from the
fact that he boxed six rounds to a
draw with Jack Johnson not long ago.
The Clemenso Brothers appear in
a musical novelty that is decidedly
original and incidentally, quite tune
full. Myles Mccarthy and Miss Ada
Woolcott present a slangy sketch
called "A Race Tout's Dream" which
is fairly entertaining. and Sylvester
and Vance, contribute songs and pat
ter.

1 ]. R. IS WARNED
BY THOMPSON
1ayor Says City Will Resist Rail
ways Attempt To Enter Detroit
Over d. U. RS Tracks.

Mayor Thompson has notified the
nfIicers of the Michigan United rail-
nay. with headquarters In Jackson,
F that he will vigorously oppose any at.
<empt on the part OF the company 70
inter Detroit without first getting the
xity's permission. An agreement has
F been entered into between the M. u,
~ and the ID. u. r., whereby the for
mcr plans TO come into the city via
The Detroit, Jackson a. Chicago line,
coming down Michigan-ave. TO reach
the heart OF the city.
In HIS letter to the M. ". r. Off
|cials, mailed Monday night, the mayor
says In part:
wish to call your attention to
the fact that the Detroit United :.
railway has no franchise rights
upon great many OF the streets
in this city, and We hope that
within a short time the courts,
where litigation to that end is now
+. pending, will have. so declared.
You are therefore hereby notified
that this city will, SO far as my
8 power extends, resist the right of
your company to occupy the
X streets and operate cars upon
tracks now laid or hereafter to be
Aid unless you first secure per-
mission from the municipality.
II You proceed to carry out any
4 arrangement with the Detroit
United railway to bring your cars
& into this city over their tracks
you may expect to meet with the
opposition OF the authorities OF
4 this city SO far as / am able to
control the situation.
(Signed) VIM. B. THOMPSON.
Mayor.
The agreement, 1t was expected.
would come before the stockholders
'of the ID. u. r. today for confirmation.
What effect the mayors action will
have remains to be seen.
1T is just another exhibition of the
". II. RS nerve" said the mayor.
The ID. IT, r. will probably claim
that the franchises have not expired
on any OF the streets that would be
used by the M. u. r. cars. The ques-
tion will probably occupy the coun-
Ellis attention Tuesday night.

Joel Peters as a turn Of the road
brought the district school in sight.
