A MILLIONAIRE
TRAMP AT GRAND
next FRIDAY

The amusement-going public OF
this community will be afforded an
opportunity of witnessing the latest
comedy success. The management of
our opera house, ever on the alert to
please his patrons, has secured
through the Harry j. Webster Amuse-
ment company, their popular comedy
drama, "a Millionaire Tramp"
The play deals with the attempts Of
an INSCRIPTIONS bank president, who
has been an unsuccessful rival for
the hand Of the cashiers bride and in
his mad frency of defeat, he fastens
the crime of embezzlement onto the
cashier and draws the web so closely
around his victim that the cashier has
to flee to avoid being imprisoned for
a crime he is not guilty Of He es-
capes to the far west and under an
assumed name conceals his identity
and becomes successful miner in
Colorado. The story has an interest
ing plot and pretty love story runs
all the way through the piece and
ends as It should, crime getting Its
lust reward and the innocent ones
getting Justice
The picture is not imaginary nor
are the characters overdrawn. 1t is
as It were, a mirror rejecting the III
ner workings of some of our big in
stitutions in our big cities where VII
taiuy and injustice hold the power
and are only brought to light by a
government sleuth, who unravels
thread by thread the working Of high
handed INSCRIPTIONS criminals and
brings them to justice.
The management in placing this
latest comedy creation, "A Million
aire Tramp" before the public mas
given II a cast of characters true 70

the scenes transpire in, and those
seeking wholesome, instructive

LAUNCH
INDEPENDENCE
NOW UP-TO-DATE

AS Captain Skinner rounded into
port this morning, he looked as proud
of his little boat, the independence,
as a doting owner does at we'll
trained steed. He certainly knows how
to handle the launch, which responds
readily to every turn of the wheel
The boat has recently been in the dry
dock at Portland, and has been COM
pletely overhauled The stern was
entirely cut off and new tunnel
stern substituted
The tunnel, stern is rather new
thing in shipbuildihg, and directly
contrary to the pointed bottom, for
the stern resembles barrel sawed in
halves lengthwise, and turned with
the hollow side down. This gives
plenty OF room for the screw and rud-
der, and, while giving the boat a
greater buoyancy, also increases its
stability. The new stern has increased
the speed Of the little boat at least 10
per cent. and it is now conceded to
be the fastest launch on the river
1t is driven by 40 horse power en-
gine OF modern design.
Nor has expense been spared 10
make the boat comfortable on the in
side, and the cushioned seats are as
fine as those found on pleasure craft
Electric lights have been installed
and, together with the heater. make
the boat very comfortable indeed
Captain Skinner makes trip to Inde'
pendence and return once day, leav'
ing at that end at $3.50 a. m. and from
the dock here at p. m.

Judge Carpenter excluded the jury
and then decided that counsel ON
both sides should confer regarding
the evidence the government pro-
posed to introduce, the defense indi-
eating specifically to what portions
OF 1t they would object. He said the
court would rule when the govern
ment had completed the submission
of its evidence.
Attorney John s. Miller, for the
packers, notified the court that he
would make the same objection at the
beginning of the testimony of every
witness for the government
The first witness was Arthur Wee
der at whose office the meetings of
the old packers poo were held. Wee
der traced the transformation of the
Swift partnership into the Swift cor
and described in detail the
of the National Packing
company-the beef trust-of which
he was once general counsel and
treasurer.
Veeder described the packers pool,
saying that he and Louis W. Krau-
thoff were chiefly responsible for its
formation. He gave the names Of the
packers who attended the meetings,
but said he never remembered that ].
Ogden Armour personally attended
them, declaring that a man named
Meyers represented Armour. He
named Heymann, Edward Morey and
