ST. JOHNS FOOTBALL SQUAD
Thirty Men Of College Squad Reported

In advance OF the opening of St.

thirty Of the candidates for the col

day afternoon to Head Coach Grove.
S. A. White. a resident of West
River, this county, the crack tackle
last season, is captain of the eleven
this year. All Of the old men who
have not been graduated will return
to college, and with the several likely
men among the new candidates who,
it is expected, will matriculate, the
prospects for rounding out a good
team are considered good.
The collegians, however, will have
a somewhat heavier aggregation and
with the available timber the usual
reputation for speed will be main

on leave this winter on account of his
health, Roscoe Grove, a graduate OF

is expected that he will have several
other graduates assisting him.
Grove played on both the football and
baseball teams while at college. He
is now on Of the staff of instructors.

THE GAMBLERS
Next Attraction at The Colonial Theatre
Saturday Matinee And Night

The Gamblers will be the attrac-
tion az the Colonial Theatre on Satur-
day, September %, matinee and night
This excellently constructed and mag
nificently produced drama by Charles
Klein recorded the longest run of any
serious play produced in New York
last season, remaining at Maxine FL
liott's Theatre for over two hundred
consecutive performances.
The story of the play has to do with
Wilbur Emerson, a young and ambi-
tious Spectator. who has been made
manager of the Emerson chain of
banks. He is guilty of misusing the
funds in his effort for expansion and
is trapped by the Federal authorities.
One of the directors turns State 5
evidence and delivers certain incrimi-
mating notes to the Federal attorney
house. But at this point another big
interest enters.

STRONG MAN A THRILLER
Good Bill AT The New Magnet-Attra
ction First Half Of Week

The New Magnet Theatre, Main
street, has a thriller this week for
the first three nights engagement,
in the shape of young man who has
muscle, and then some. He twists
his muscles into double bow knots and
does stunts that make the hair stand
on end. La Ward is a gymnast OF
some special merit, and his feature
act at the Magnet is we'll worth see
ing.
Miss Du Mond sings well. She
has a sweet melodfous voice and
won favor with the audience from
the start. Her songs of the olden
times were sung with pathos and
sweetness. The pictures were good.
By strange coincidence two were
pictures of dreams, and were striking
reminders that

made of,
And our little life is rounded in a

SUGAR REPORT MAY
BE LONG DELAYED
Inquiry Ends; Committee in
No Hurry with Findings.

The Democratic inquiry into the af-
fairs of the sugar trust came to an end
yesterday. The report of the House
committee, of which Representative
Thomas W. Hardwick. of Georgia, is
chairman. will be made at the Decem-
ber session. I'VE have completed our
labors of research and inquiry" said
Mr.. Hardwick. An examination of the
evidence may move US to call for sup
Elementary testimony. but for all prac-
tical purposes we have completed the
investigation"
The Hardwick report. It was said by
a member of the committee, will be
chiefly OF interest in its bearing on the
sugar schedule OF the Payne-Aldrich
tariff law. Representative Hardwick is
an-edvocate of free sugar. But he will
not recommend that sugar shall be
placed on the free list unless II is dem
onstrated by the time the December
session rolls around that the States are
ready to approve the proposed constitu
tional amendment providing for an in
come tax. Sugar is the biggest item
of revenue in the tariff law, and the
Democrats will not abandon II as a
revenue producer unless some means
of taxation can be substituted
The Republican or minority report will
set forth that the free admission of
sugar would destroy the cane and beet
sugar industry in the United States,
The action Of Chairman Hardwick I'm
postponing the submission Of his report
until December is taken to mean that
the House Democrats. whatever the ac-
tion OF their party men and insurgents
in the Senate, will not attempt a re-
vision Of the sugar schedule at this
