aThc Ton o, IN, World To-day.

With tickets only being sold for the
matinee performance of the big mus-
cal extravaganza, "The Top o. tn
World" at the Grand opera house to-
day, the house will undoubtedly be
taxed to its fun capacity. The ad-
vance seat sale has already broken all
season matinee records and but few
choice reservations remain to be had
at the advance sale at the quaker
drug store. Persons desiring To at
tend the performance of this eXtraor-
dinary attraction should procure their
seats early today, if they have not
already done so.
Several big changes have been made
in the production this season, There
are five new musical numbers, specially
written by Manuel Klein, director Of
the New York Hipprodrome, who
wrote tho ---ginal score in conjunc-
ton with Anne Caldwell. There are
dozen and a half new trick features,
all of which Bailey and Austin per-
fected last summer. The greater part
of the enormous scenic production,
and all the wardrobe, this season
brand new. over $4,000 has been
spent on The Top O. tn World,
since last season, and the big attrac-
tion, in its new dress is even more
attractive than ever. There are sew
enty people in the company. The cur
tain will rise on the matinee at
promptly 2!30 o'clock this afternoon
and to prevent the marring Of the per-
formance everyone is requested to be
esated at that time. The Shriners have
purchased IN centre house for the
night performance, for the visiting
guests.
Big New Bill at the Cozy.
A complete change in both vaude-
vile and motion pictures will be seen
at the Cozy theater today. The vaude-
Vile act comes highly recommended
and consists mainly Of singing by a
pretty soubrette and a clever come
dian and dancing by both Of them.
Fay and Collins is the name of the
duo and they will offer q specially
such as never fails to please the large,
rapidly growing and always happy
family of Cozyites.
In the picture llne lne usual tOIN
standards will be amply maintained.
"The Courting Of Mary will be the
big feature. In this subject some of
the most beautiful stage settings and
most perfect photography ever turned
out in America will be seen. The
plot included humor, pathos and in
tense dramatic interest Little Mary
Pickford, the doll-like idol Of ell NOV.
ing picture fans, will be seen in the
title role.
The Settlers wife" is another OF
those stirring western photo plays,
with plenty Of cowboys and western
scenery.
THE Falling Out" is a deep dra-
matte picture. well acted and above
the average Of this class of offerings.
Today is Shriner's day and naturally
the Cozy is prepared to handle a ca
pacity business all day long. 1t Is
hard to get in at the Cozy on almost
any day, but Washlngton's birthday
and shriners' day, coming at once,
will no doubt tax the efforts of Man
ager Smith and his corps Of courteous
ushers and other attendants in taxi
ing care of the crowds. especially in
view of the splendid class of the pro"
gram that is to be offered.

EnaIand Wants Rock Sand.

An effort is being made in England
to have Rock Sand, the great sire pur.
chased by August Belmont, returned
TO that country Belmont declined the
FIRST request to that effect, and it was
only on receiving letters pointing out
that Rock Sand would have an excep.
tional chance to do himself justice In
England that Belmont cabled TO ask
how many subscriptions he could com
mand and at what fee. Belmont con-
siders the horse worth all the $4,000
sovereigns which he gave for him, as
he is now well proved sire. 1t is OBJ
vious, therefore. that unless there can
be reasonable promise of a subscrip-
ton list of at least thirty mares at a
fee of not less than 200 guineas the
owner is not in the least likely TO send
Rock Sand to Cheveley, where he is
wanted TO replace the dead stallion
Isinglass. One well known dealer has
offered to take ten nominations at 100
guineas each Others seem disposed to
subscribe at 200 guineas.

BEEF WITNESS SCHOOL"
IN THE CHARGE MADE
Special Federal Grand Jury Under Judge
Lands, Now Making Investi-
CATION.

Chicago Feb. pa special federal
grand jury was impanelled and sworn
before United States District Judge
lands yesterday. 1t was said the
jury would investigate whether counsel
for the meat packers now on trial be-
for Judge Carpenter or any one on their
behalf or in the interest of the defend
ants had conducted school for wit
nesses."
1t was declared that rigid inquiry
would be made to determine if there
exists sufficient grounds to warrant the
return of indictments on the charge Of
obstruction Of justice. The theory on
which the investigation is said to be
based is that witnesses, most of whom
nov are employees OF the packing COM
panies of which the defendants before
Judge Carpenter are the heads, have been
questioned relative to the testimony to
be given by them when they were called
to the stand. The government has many
times pointed out that it was at a
disadvantage, in that most of the wit
nesses on whom it depends for the sue
eessful prosecution Of the trial are to
certain extent hostile witnesses from
whom little voluntary information could
be hoped. District Attorney Wilker-
SOL refused to discuss the new grand
jury or its obie WIS noted that
exceptional care marked the selection of
the jurors by Judge lands. A mis-
spelled name in the summons was suifi-
cient cause for the court to dismiss the
venireman.

MERCHANTS HONOR
COURT Is REVIVED
Business Mems Disputes Are to Be Set
tied Without Resort to the
Law

New York, Feb. 20.-The business
mems court of honor, court without
Judge, lawyer or jury, yet recognized BY
the laws of the state, has been revived
in New York, after a lapse of sever II
years. The court is conducted by the
chamber of commerce for the purpose cf
settling disputes between merchants, and
so far as is known here there is no other
court like it in the world.
The business mems court was estlb-
lished in 1868, and for more than a cen
tury merchants ad iusted their disputes
there. In 1874 the legislature voted q
salary of $4,000 year to the official
arbitrator OF the court, and when this
salary was discontinued in 1895 the court
passed out of existence. Several months
ago movement was begun looking to
the establishment of the court, with
the result that several cases have just
been heard before it,
To try the average case before this
court requires an expenditure of only SD
or $50, as compared with the heavy eN
penses of trials in the regularly consti-
tuted courts of the state.

In addition to the lessening of expense
and saving of time, it is said the court
is enabled to render decisions which are
more uniformly satisfactory to the dis
putants than those returned by iuries.
The court is open to all business men
of the city, whether or not they are
members of the chamber of commerce.

tors receive $40 day. The proceedings

Governor Johnson of California
States His Position
SAYS TAFT WRECKED PARTY
He Turns from La Toilette and Enlists
Under Banner of Former President
California Governor Makes Pub
lie a Statement.

New York, Feb 20.-Hiram Johnson
governor of California, heretofore an ar
dent supporter of Senator La Toilette
4 issued formal statement here yester.
day, saying that in his opinion Theodore
Roosevelt should be the next Republican
nominee for president of the United
States
The statement was issued, he said
with Mr.. Rooseyelt's knowledge, but not
necessarily with his sanction.
Governor johnson said:
"The admiration of California progress
sives for Senator La Toilette is undiinin
ished and they recognize his splendid
services and great sacrifices for the cause.
I'm California, however, it is obvious
that progressive policies can best be ac-
complished by the leadership of Theo.
dore Roosevelt.
ITO him the West has ever looked as
a guide in Righteousness in government,
as the exponent of equal opportunity Tor
all and as the champion of popular rule.
To-day there is not hamlet or city in
this country, where upon ballot, legiti-
mately taken, the people would not by
five to one prefer him to his principal
opponents. What trayesty upon a
boosted government of the people that
with this overwhelming sentiment there
should for an instant be doubt of the
result.
-Four years ago Mr.. Roosevelt turned
over to his successor Republican party
at high tide of success and entrenched
in the confidence OF all. To-day, with
the record Of the past three years, the
Republican party is at its ebb, with
confidence in il sadly shaken. With but
rare exceptions. it is only where progress.
sivism has been victorious that state
governments are yet republican, and to
continue with the leader whose three
years have wrought such disaster can
mean only political suicide.
Clear cut, therefore, is the situation.
Shall the people rule and shall Roose-
welt, their choice, be nominated, or shall
Republicans court certain defeat by the
nomination of one whose trusteeship has
wrecked the party? We of the West,
with our confidence and trust in those
who compose this government and our
belief in the principles upon which it
was founded, are in this national strug-
gle for Roosevelt and the progressive
policies he represents
This statement means them Govern
or johnson was asked, that you ana the
progressives you represent have trans.

TAFT TO WEAR A
SHAMROCK IN BOSTON
He Will Grasp a Shillalah and Ride at
the Head of the Procession on

LOSES ON LEEDS PEARLS.
Supreme Court Decides That Duty Orig.
inally Paid Was Sufficient.

Washington, Feb. l2.-The government
through decision of the supreme court
yesterday failed to get $4,000 addition
al duty on the necklace Of pearls owned
by Mrs. William b. Leeds OF New York
and Newport.
When the pearls were imported in 1905
from Paris for Mrs. Leeds, only i ten
per cent. duty was paid on them, or
about $4,000. This was under a class,
fication Of the ornaments as pearls in
their natural state, not strung or set.'
Practically ever since the government
has been seeking to collect a duty OF
sixty per cent, claiming the pearls were
''set or strung" 1t based this largely on
the statement that Mrs. Leeds wore the
pearls in Paris before they were i'm
ported.
