STAR AND GARTER MAKE "BIFF.
BANG ENTRY AT WALDMANN'S.

Lovers of the .old-style burlesque
(biff-bang Variety cannot afford to
miss the show presented this week by
the new Star and Garter at
Waldn1ann's Opera House. Without one
bit Of exaggeration the entire per-
Torrance is the liveliest and most gro
tesque that has been at the show house
this season. All the members endeavor
ia show the audience that they are part
Of the show, and by their clever work
do not allow one of idleness.
The excellent electric effects added
to the feature THE Girl and the
Eagle" is a bit Of fine staging. This
is without doubt a feature that is new
in the burlesque line and one that has
been seen but once before in this city.
During this act h entire house is in
total darkness and a beautiful young
woman is seen floating above the heads
of the audience in the claws of a huge
eagle. Miss Corrine DeForrest is seen
to advantage here.
The show consists of two acts and
three scenes in a playlet entitled 1.-THE
Flirting Widow" Here Idsik Leschin-
sky (Abe Reynolds) vies with Hem
messy hcWatt George Betts) for the
love of Geraldine Vasterbilt Miss Alta
Phillips), who, although married four
times, is still seeking the love of q
fifth man who is willing to allow him
self to be insured for a large amount
in an accident insurance company.
Many are there who are willing, for she
makes a dashing widow.
Others in the show who make things
lively are Miss Emma O'Neil, Will H.
Ward and Jack Conway. The singing
of the entire company is good, and the
handsome costumes disclose a chorus
good to look at.

surely Is an exceptionally m~eritoriops
one. DIR. Smart's Dilemma" an
eeedingly funny comedy playlet, vas
presented in a very -~creditable man
ner by Whittier, Ince and company, who
are a well-known aggregation of clever
comedians.
Belle Jeanette, perhaps the most
talented Coincidence who has ever APP
peared here, completely c~aptivated the
audience with her original style of
entertaining. Her songs were espe-
cially well received. The English Dots
had a good repertoire of singing and
dancing, Tyson and Brown offered a
splendid variety of character changes,
Nelson and Hall presented a novelty

and the Lambert brothers gave a mar
velous exhibition of gymnastics and
feats of strength.

RECOMMENDS BALLOT
AS WOMAN EDUCATOR.
Prof. Barnes Says "Participa-
ton" Has Benefited Man.

Prof. Earl Barnes, of the American
Society for the Extension of Univer-
sity, gave Newark ~suffragists rather
new argument to use Cor mott in the
quest of equal suffrage when he said
that women ought to lave the ballot,
because 1t would educate them as 1t
has the men,
The professor, who from Phil
a~delpllia, spoke to a notable gathering
at the Church of the Redeemer last
night.
He said; II believe hat participation
is the greatest factor for education
that there is in the world. 1t is the
active participation in the affairs of
the nation, in the actual making of the
government, which has made man he
intelligent, logical. thinking human
being thai he is. 1t has directly edu-
Gated him, and he is benefited by its
teaching. In the same way, / believe
that woman would be educated, and
that it would benefit her, should she be
given the right of suffrage, and for the
same reason | thing hat she should
have it,"

teners, and the speaker was introduced

The national house of representa-

competent man in the Unuited States
for the place of chairman of the
committee on Indian affairs than
Congressman John Stephens of Tex.

to have placed Congressman Carter
in that place, but the long service
of Mr. Stephens especially fits hin.
for the work and MT. Carter who
will serve with him will be the most
valuable member as far as Oklahomt

was a friend to Indian Territory
when 1t had no representation. he
has kept up with every feature of

VOICE OF JUSTICE.

Despite all the peace talk, condi-
tions are getting worse with the
Mexican republic. The latest iniquity
of the country is the arrest of rebel
sympathizers in the City of Mexico.
Since the trouble arose there has
been stationed special officers in
the city and they at last are find
ing something TO do. AS the rebels
become more active, as the people
begin to see they have some chance
of either winning the revolution or
in forcing the government to be
more liberal with them, their sympa-
thlzers in the city are becoming
more outspoken and as they become
more active the arrests and impris-
onments are more often. Simple Jus.
tice is crying out in the neighbor
republic and the voice of Justice
Will not be stilled until the peas
ants are given a fund for the edu-
cation of their children and until
they are secure in their titles to
lands.

duplicated much work and that a
merging of the two offices would not
only save money, but would render
the work of administration more eff.
fective in that it would prevent pres
ent conflicts of authority. Personal
ly, Judge Stephens would place all
of this work in the hands of the
commissioner of the five civilized
tribes and abolish the union agency.
Judge Stephens has already be-
gun work of preparing bills to cover
these policies, and it is expected
that hearings on them will be had
this spring, so that the committee
can formulate it's proposed legisla-
tion when the regular session opens

STEPHENS OUTLINES
NEEDED REFORMS
CHAIRMAN OF INDIAN AFFAIRS
SUGGESTS POLICY FOR THE
VEAL OF INDIANS.

Washington, April 3.-There will
be no general Indian Legislation dur
ing the special session of congress,
but the new house committee on
Indian affairs will do lot of prelim-
mary wonk looking to the putting
through of an Indian affairs policy of
its own when the regular session
| opens in December
What the policy will prove to
be, can not at this ume be definite
ly fOretold, but on the subject as to
what it should be, Representative
John II. Stephens, the chairman of
the committee and for fourteen sue
cessive years member of that
committee, has some positive views.
First of all, Judge Stephens be-
lieves that all of the segregated
lands should be solo separate from
the minerals they contain. He would
sell the agricultural lands in tracts
of 160 acres each, and the pasture
lands in tracts of GAO acres each,
the lands to be sold only to bona
fide settlers. He would lease the
mineral rights for the benefit of
the Indians as is done now, with
all proper safeguards against the
operators forming combinations or
exacting extortionate prices from the
consumers.
Judge Stephens believes that the
matter OF the Indian rolls should
be subjected to a close investiga
ton and adjudication, to the end
to enrolment be stricken off and
that names not on the rolls, but
entitled to be there. be added.
Next, Judge Stephens believes in
a sweeping law that will prevent |
any person or firm from making con-
tracts without the consent of con- |
gress with any Indian whose restric-
tions have not been removed, or
any Indian tribe which is still a ward
of the government, and he believes
in annulling all contracts that have
heretofore been made without the
of congress.
On the subject of educating the
Indians, Judge Stephens believes that
the states should educate the chill
dren of all such Indians as have be-
come citizens through the removal
Of their restrictions and that the
federal government should educate
The children of those Indians who
Are still wards of the government.
He would have no schools far remov-
ID from the reservations of the In
lians, and can see no great benefit
aither to the Indians Or the nation
n such institutions as the Carlisle
indian School in Pennsylvania.
AS to the administration of the
indian affairs in Oklahoma, he says

nittee in that state last year shows

MAUST MUST Be
BEN CRAVENS

Jefferson City, April Ben GRAY
vens, probably the most sought.after
desperate in the west, was positive
ly identified today in the person of
convict in the Missouri penitenti
airy serving term for grand larceny
under the name of Charles Maust.
Cravens, or Maust, vigorously denied
the accusation, but he did admit that
he had gone under the name of
Brown. Rewards said to aggregate
$4,000 are outstanding for Cravens.
The Identification of Maust as Cra-
vens was made by A. o. Lund, for
merly United States marshal at Black
well, Okla. The identification ex.
perts at the Kansas penitentiary at
Lansing, and the United States pen
itentiary at Leavenworth, previously
had identified Maust as Cravens, af-
ter Joseph H. Livingstone, record
clerk at the penitentiary, had COM
pared the description of Maust and
Cravens and had become convinced
that Maust was the long hunted des-
perado.
After Mr.. Lund had made the iden
tifcation, he and Warden Andrae had
a talk with Governor Hadley about
the case. The governor said that he
would pardon Maust, or Cravens, if
the governor of Oklahoma felt salts
fled, in making a requisition for the
convict, that he could be convicted
of the double murder and robbery at
Perry, Okla, with which Cravens is
charged. Mr.. Lund left this after
noon for Oklahoma City to lay the
matter before Governor Cruce.
Mr.. Livingstone was convinced that
Gibson county when Maust was ar
rested and convicted of grand larceny
for stealing a horse and sent to the
pententiary for four years. He was
convinced then that Maust had a
criminal record and after coming to |
the Missouri penitentiary as record
clerk he began an investigation.
of Cravens were obtain
ed from the Kansas penitentiary and
Mr.. Livenstone was convinced that
Maust was Cravens. Further identi
fication was made by officials of the
United States penitentiary at Leaven-
worth and then Mr.. Lund, who knew
Cravens in Oklahoma was called in.
Ben Cravens was convicted in Ok
lahoma twelve years ago on two
charges of highway robbery and sent
enced to the Kansas penitentiary,
where Oklahoma convicts were then
kept. A year later, while working
n the coal mine, he and two other
with wooden revolvers, held
Up their guards and escaped.
Shortly after Cravens appeared in
Perry, Okla, and held up the clerk
n general store, in which the post {
'ffice was. Alvin Bateman, the clerk, !
esisted the robbers and was shot to c
eath. The robbers were pursued by {
Thomas Johnson, a deputy sheriff c
# Pawnee county, and while trying /
. effect their arrest Johnson was I
illed, and also one of the robbers.
he other robber was wounded sew |
raj times, but made his escape. {
Mr. Lund described the scars these Il
'ounds made, and when, Maust, or t
ravens, was stripped, three scars O
