TAKE A Peek AT
This REHEARSAL

Mrs. Perl Young, who is the wife of
the manager of the Grand hotel, and
who was a member of the Alcazar the
ater stock company playing under the
stage name of Eloise Clement, wrote
vaudeville skit, and according to her
story had it acted so realistically in the
office of the Empress theater that her
husband. Perl Young, felt called on last
night to thrash w. T. Reese, booking
agent of the Sullivan-Considine circuit
and of the Empress theater.
Time Honored Topics
The sketch had to do with the time
honored topic OF the poor but virtuous
actress who applies to the villainous
looking agent for job. The plaintive
plight of the beautiful girl does not
impress the booking agent as it should.
In fact, villain that he is. he seeks to
impose on the unprotected poverty of
the helpless and innocent girl. He would
tempt her from the paths of rectitude
with the offer of booking on big time."
But the honor of the girl, her innate
beauty of character that accompanies
her beauty of face, stands on guard
and virtue triumphs and the wicked
fee.
All that was told scenicly In Mrs.
Young's dramatic sketch. She took the
play to Reese, she said. desiring to have
it booked on the Su1livan-Considine cir
cult. Reese read the manuscript It
must have put ideas in his head, but
failed utterly to teach the lesson which
Mrs. Young intended that it should,
for the authoress said, when she went
to Reese's office yesterday to see IL her
effort was acceptible-"he treated me
just as the heroine of my sketch was
treated hY the villain in 1t

Some Notices Not Received

The nature of Senator Roots amend
ments could not be learned. Senator
Root said that he would make known
their wording at the meeting tomorrow.
Some of the members of the committee
said tonight that they had not yet re-
ceived their notices to attend the meet
ing. although the notification cards
were sent out early In the morning.
1t is known that Senator Roots
amendments will have an important
bearing upon the relations of the United
States to the exposition, but further
than this no information as to their
nature was forthcoming

Husky Husband There

Mrs. Young, however, was not the un-
protected girl that her heroine was.
She has a husky husband, and when
she told him about Reese's alleged
treatment of her he went promptly to
the theater, entered on the scene and
pulled off a little realistic fisticuffs that
Reese will remember for some time to
come. Reese had Young arrested on a
charge of assault. The hotel man was
released on bail.

= INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 6.-United
States District Attorney Miller
said tonight that by Saturday he
would have all other work out of
the road and be ready to give all his
time to the federal investigation of
the dynamiting outrages that he insists
have been national in their scope.
1t developed today in this city that
the government has been able to estab-
lish some important links in the chain
of evidence by the use of the evidence
taken to the federal buildings. These
books. records and papers had been at
the offices Of the prosecutor, Frank Ba-
ker. for sevarl months and had been set
aside by him as worthless according
to statements he has made concerning
this material.
It Is now said that while some OF the
papers apparently are innocent on their
face, they form some missing links"
and that they eventually may be eff
fective in aiding the government.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1911-12-07
Reports of Dynamiting

Among evidence in the possession Of
the federal government are letters and
newspaper clippings concerning dyna
mite and nitroglycerine explosions,
which, it is stated, bear out the con-
fessions of McManigal The latter said
that John J. Mcnamara always re-
uuired him TO obtain newspaper
clippings telling of the explosion and
that these had to be filed with the Sec
retary-treasurer of the iron workers
before Mcnamara would pay him for
"job.'
In the material seized when the Of
flcers and the room of Mcnamara were
raided are said to be such clippings and
the letters in which they were con-
tanned.
1t is said also that McManigal was
by no means the only person who was
sending such clippings, but that in let
ters in possession of the government
are clippings describing other ex-
plosions than those pulled off, by Nc
Manigal and j. B. Mcnamara, and that
the letters refer to these.

~ EkING, Dec. 6.-An edict an
Dnouncing the resignation OF the
regent Prince Chun, was issued
today by the empress dowager.
IT was signed by members of the cab-
met. and points out that the admin
istration has been unpopular and that
constitutional government has not
yet been established, explaining this
by the fact that complications arose.
the peoples hearts were broken and
the country was thrown into turmoil.
The regent regrets that his repent
ance came too late and feels that II
he continued in power his commands
would be disregarded.
The edict continues: "He wept and
prayed to resign the regency at the
same time expressing his earnest in
tention to abstain from politics. The
empress dowager. living in the palace
was ignorant of the state OF affairs,
but knew that rebellion exists and
lighting continues. causing disaster
everywhere, while the commerce of
friendly nations suffers. The regent is
led, he has harmed the people; there
fore his resignation is accepted"
Be Loyal, Edict Demands
The edict demands loyalty to the
ministers from the people. who must
now realize that the court does not OBJ
ject to the surrender of the power
vested in the throne"
The regent has been granted $4,000
taels annually from the imperial house
hold allowance.
AS the imperial and revolutionary
leaders at Hankow have not yet come
to an understanding. the armistice has
been extended for an additional three
days.
PEKING, Dec. 6.-The regent sacri-
feed himself in last effort to save the
throne for his son, but unless all signs
fail it is too late. Premier Yuan Shi
Kai has let Peking know that he has
taken the British minister, Sir John
Jordan. into his confidence. He has
told the minister his plans and hopes
much from his mediation.
On the other hand, the rebels tonight
confidently declare that Yuan Shi Kai
is their man. They describe him as a
master statesman because he is ac-
complishing the transition from the
Manchu dynasty to a republic without
a massacre or an attack on the lega-
tions

Among the important letters are
others from labor men In which Jobs
are referred to, and also in which re-
quests are made TO send q man to cer-
tain places to "do a job" The little
word Job it is believed, will cut a
big figure in the cases hereafter.
The structural iron workers had a.
defense fund that ran up into thou
sands of dollars. This fund was estab-
lished in 1906 and it has been pointed
out by detectives and others that it
might have some connection with the
dynamiting, as dynamiting had begun
at that time, although the widespread
destruction of property was not In full
blast. Acting Secretary HockIin says
that the defense fund of the iron work
ers never has been touched and can

Her rendition of old gospel hymns
hymns that run back TO the memories
of childhood, and that have gathered
strength and sweetness i'm subsequent
years by being associated with the
happiest and best experience of life
these hymns in the hands of Mrs.
Thomas become masterful sermons set
to music. Every evening this week.
she has sung hymns new and old, and
her singing of these hymns has been
like ray of, light in a darkened room.
Her initial appearance was made
last Sunday morning. Softly she be-
gan Face to Face" but the intense
emotion and warmth grew until it burst
forth in exultation. in the words Il
Shall See Him Face to Face" The
auditorium of the church was thronged
last Sunday evening with lovers of sac
red music. and every one felt the thrill
and power of the songs, Ora Pro No
bis" and THE Lost Chord
Next Sunday Mrs. Thomas will sing
the following selections. "Giver of
Life" by Edith Fortescue; Heavenly
Blossom" by Charles Marshall; The

OCCASION NOT OBSERVED.
Anti tuberculosis Sunday Passed IN
noticed in Local Churches.

on account Of the lateness of re-
ceiving the notices sent out by the
Houghton County Tuberculosis
society. calling attention to the OBJ
servance of tuberculosis Sunday, the
local pastors had no time to arrange
for any addresses on the subject, their
topics for the day been already pre-
pared and i'm some instances an
nounccd. Rev. w. Il. Marvin, pastor
of the Hancock Methodist church,
stated that he might possibly refer to
the matter later. as he thought that
every possible aid should be extended
to the movement for wiping out tu-
berculosis but that with childrens'
days, anniversaries, special addresses
TO lodges, and other topics which the
pastors are called upon TO discuss from
time TO time, the list is becoming so
large as to leave but few Sundays for
the preaching of the gospel.

GYPsIES IN MEXICO.

| Gypsies in Mexico, wandering pill
fering gypsies, look upon the hated
"Gorgios," which is the name they give
to people not of their own race-be
they MeXicans, Americans, Britishers,
lGermans, Spaniards or Russians-as
their natural enemies and legitimate
prey. Bands wander about Mexico
just as in other parts of the world.
Not long ago n band of fifty or more
Hungarian gypsies appeared i'm Saltillo
| and terrorized many of the inhabitants
| by entering houses, demanding money,
i food or clothing. The women wore
large earrings, and the appearance of
the members of both sexes clearly
marked them out as pure Zingari or
Roms
Gypsles in Mexico are on the in
crease. These strange people are
| found i'm almost every country. In
England they go by the name of gyp-
! sizes. in Spain gitanos, i'm France. Boz
hemians or Egyptians, i'm Germany
zigeuner, in Italy. zingary. They are
met on the steppes of Siberia or the
sands of Morocco
1t is supposed that they are the de-
scendants of a robber or pariah tribe
expelled from Multan, i'm India. about
the time of the Mohammedan invasion
of that country; that they wandered
in Persia, thence through Asia Minor,
across the Bosporus into Turkey and
from there north, west and east over
the whole of Europe.
This is curiously confirmed by the
fact that the Romany or gypsy Ian
guage spoken by these people in west
ern Europe contains Persian. Greek,
Hungarian words. The foundation of
the Romany language is Sanskrit, the
dead language of India. The purest
Romany is spoken i'm Hungary. In
