Harvey Leslie Makes Gallant Effort

Captures Easy.
Police Search Place Twice Earlier in

Himself.

Harvey Leslie, fat burglar win

undivided attention of a whole sec
ton OF the police department ior
three long hours, early Monday morn
ing He was finally landed by otto
HUGH, into whose saloon. at No. 90
Michigan-ave., he had broken. win
4 ..hefty" rifle, Mr.. Huck, who has
some local reputation as a nimrod,
fred two shots at the Apollo-hke
form OF Leslie, whose position at that
particular time, was embarrassing. TO
eay the least.
The burglar was making desperate
efforts to squeeze his avoirdupois
through a transom in the rear OF the
Huck saloon. Huck blazed away, re-
eardless of fervent entreaties OF the
perspiring Leslie. The bombardment
attracted the attention OF Police
Sergts. Clark and Dornbrook and Pa
trolman John Kean, who rushed to
the scene.
The smoke OF battle had cleared
away and Leslie had capitulated. He
was rescued from his position by the
police station. Huck is unable 10 I'M
derstand how he missed hitting Les
lie, whose generous proportions Of
fered a fine target. The saloon cell
ing and the transom window are per-
f0rated with bullets from the Huck
armament
At midnight, passing citizen OBJ
served that the saloon had been en-
tered. The flying squadron respond
ed to the alarm and although the OFF,
GERS searched the entire building, they
failed to find the miscreant At /
o'clock in the morning, Huck heard
sounds again. This time, Motorcycle
Patrolman Schnell hurried to the
place. Again a thorough search was
made. The officer shoveled the coal
and sawdust out OF their respective
bins, but the elusive Leslie had van
fshed again. .--..
Huck heard sounds again at 3 a m.
This time, he seized his trusty rife
and walked resolutely into the bar
room. Leslie saw him and made
flying leap for the rear transom. He
made the transom all right, but the
result was discouraging.
After his arrest, Leslie told the Off,
GERS that on the previous occasions OF
the police visits, he had hidden his
copious dimensions under the sidewalk
in front of the saloon. He attained this
position by crawling through the base
ment into the areaway.
Leslie had already secured a few
dollars from the cash register.

HONG KONG, May 1.-Consuls
throughout the Cantonese district are
arranging to send foreign women
residents to this city for safety. The
consuls have warned foreigners to
seek safety in flight.
Today's dispatches tell OF the cap
ture of three of the largest Cantonese
towns, Sam Shut, Wen Chow and
Woo-Chow, which the rebels sacked
. and partially burned.
Two hundred rebels were killed
when Chinese gunboats shelled their
ranks.
The railroad service between Can

rebellion took place at Fat-Shan.
where two-score OF the Imperial
troops were slain before the soldiers
gained the upper hand and routed
the rebels.
Reports from shamien, just above
Canton, deny the capture of that
place by the rebels. The United
states gunboat Wilmington is patrol
( hing the river there and it is believ-
cd that this will hold the rebels in
check.
The rebellion, it developed today,
81 being led by Japanese-educated
Chinese named WI Sum, who Is oc-
cidental in his manner and dress.
His chief aide Is brigand chief
named Lux, who Is responsible for
most OF the looting of the captured

The rebels are also reported to
have sacked the towns of Wen-Chow,

THE STAGE
LYcEuM.

As Phoebe Fuckers. the smutty-
| faced slavey In "A Prince Chap.
which is ebeing revived by the
! Vaughan CHASER organization In the
Lyceum theater this week. Miss Fay
! Courteney contributes one OF the
most interesting portrayals she has
ever given the local stage. IL would
seem 10 be a rather odd part for
woman accustomed TO playing only
leads" but her Phoebe is so SPLEEN
didly done that IL is really an indis-
pensible part OF the performance. IL
is the very backbone of the comedy
that runs through the three acts. and
the appearance OF the little beggar, In
her tattered garments, her frowsled
head and her soot-begrimed counte-
nance is invariably a signal for a
storm OF laughter.
And the character loses none OF its
picturesQueness- when, after sup
posed lapse of 10 years, Phoebe calls
at the fashionable London home or
the artist, Payton. whose boots she
had been wont 10 black in the old
days, and announces with pardonable
pride that she is understudy TO the
bareback rider in a circus and is en-
gagged TO marry the balloonist
The story OF THE Prince Chap" Is
familiar TO most Lyceum patrons. II
was written by Edward Peple and
the program calls IL child play, from
the fact that the story centers about
little girl, Claudia, daughter OF an
artist model When the mother dies,
Peyton, a young-American artist, who
Is struggling for recognition in Lon
don, undertakes TO care for the child
and rears her as though she were
his own. The child is the means or
separating Peyton, whom little Clau-
dia has christened ''the Prince Chap
from his American sweetheart, but
sweet compensation comes in the tinal
scene. when he discovers that the
woman his heart really yearns for is
Claudia, now a beautiful girl OF Is
years, and his affection is reciprocal
ed.
II is a pretty story, well told and
well staged as are all the Chaser pro-
auctions. The Misses Viva and Kath-
leen Brown are seen as Claudia in
the first and second acts. respective
ly, and the elder OF the sisters rem
ders especially capable service. Miss
Temperance Reid. as Claudia at IL.
invests the part with much charm and
gives a portrayal that is satisfactory
in every way. Mr.. CHASER. OF course,
is Peyton and his work is fully up to
standard. James Hester makes a cap
ital English man servant. Miss Edna
Ellsmere. as Alice Travers, Peyton's
sweetheart, presents a stunning ap-
pearance and plays the part with I'M
Outstanding. The other members OF
the company are we'll placed. The of.
fering Of Mr.. CHASER next week will be

GAYETY.

The Ginger Girls, who are disport-
ing In the Gayety theater this week,
live up the their name and present
one OF the snappiest shows that has
come TO that playhouse this season II
keeps on the move all the time.
The heavy work of the performance
falls on the comedians, Ed. Lee
Wrothe, Wilbur Dobbs. and George
Stone and they are fully capable OF
furnishing their share OF the enter
tainment Wrothe has a style OF his
own and made a hit both as Janitor
Higgins In the first part and as DR..
Con Conn in the second part. George
Stone managed to introduce some new
stunts into his part as a tramp com
edian, and Wilbur Dobbs played the
German role up 10 the mark.
The feminine members OF the com
pany must not be overlooked. Jean
cite Sherwood not only looks good
but can also sing. Jane Lebeau helps
her out in good style. and Primrose
Semon makes the third member OF
a good trio. There is lively chorus
that comes in at the proper time TO
make an attractive tableau after go
ing through some sprightly evolutions.
They can also sing when occasion de-
mands.
The Ginger Girls show is well stag
ed and the scenery and costumes do
not show the wear and tear OF hard
season on the road.
Between 'Janitor Higgins and Fair
Day al Pocatello' the two librettas,
are two clever olio acts. The Semon
Duo have a singing and dancing act,
and Sig and Edith Franz contribute
some remarkable trick bicycle riding.
The Ginger Girls will be in the Gay
ETY. all week and will be succeed
ed next week by the Fads and Follies
