A BOX OF MONKEYS"
GIVEN BY THE SENIOR
CLASS THIS EVENING
Senior High School Students to Pre-
sent Their Play to the Public and
Chorus of Girls to Participate

Tonight is the big night for Cen
tral Union High school and it's many
friends. This is the night for the pre-
sentation of the senior class play, "A
Box of Monkeys" at the Opera House.
1t gives promise of being a big sue
cess, and the house is well sold out,
so that there is a certainty of large
audience.
The seniors have been putting faith
full work on their rehearsals and it
is expected that they win be very en-
tertaining to their friends and the pub
lie generally. Under the direction of
Miss Cremeens the large school chorus
will give songs, and the appearance of
the bevy of high school girls, all in
white, will be a feature of itself well
worth seeing.
"A Box of Monkeys" is an enter
tanning story of Sierra Bengaline, a
western girl, who is in love with an
impecunious young westerner named
Edward Ralston, and because of this
attachment Sierra's father sends her
East to become toned down" at the
home of her aunt, Mrs. Ondego Jhones,
a dashing society matron.
Complications arise when Ralston
appears, clad in an evening suit. and
is taken for the butler by Lady Guini-
we're Landpoore, an overcultured young
English woman, who comes to visit
Mrs Ondego Jhones, and incidentally
to acquire American dash and fascina-
ton.
Lady Guinivere is also in love with
the cousin, Chauncey Ogelthorpe, Raj
ston's mining partner, and an exceed
ingly Shy Young man.
Ogelthorpe arrives, and terrified at
the sight of Sierra, the coquettish
French maid and the belligerent cook,
decides to leave, when ne is intercept
ed by Ted and persuaded to stay.
| However, he plucks up his courage,
proposes to Guinivere and is accepted,
after having been duly coached for the
ordeal by Ted.
All ends happily at the arrival of
Mrs Ondego Jhones, and Guinivere's
mother, the countess of Paynaught,
who announce the marvellous develop
ment of the partners mine.

LEMON RATE HEARING

[RY UNITED PRESS ASSOCTATIONS1
LOS ANGELES, March 22.-Judge
Mack's court room was crowded when
the lemon rate hearing was resumed
this morning. The first witness was
J. K. Butler, Southern Pacific rate
statistician. James Peabody of Chi
cagO, the Santa Fe's veteran rate man,
the chief witness, is scheduled to be
called late today
Attorney Norton announced that the
railroads will maintain throughout the
hearing that the rates are confisca-
tory if not reasonable" even though
the rate nets a fair return. Butler
introduced a mass of tabled figures to
show the cost of handling California
lemon shipments. He endeavOred to
show that returns from the citrus traf-
fic were lower than from any other
class. On crOsseXaminatiOn by AttOr-
ney Call for the growers Butler be-
came entangled, and showed to disad-
vantage. He said freight earnings for
the system for the last fiscal year
were $74 100000, but that none con-
nected with the road could tell the
cost of handling freight as distin-
SuiShed from passenger cost

Washington.VIn the matter of the
complaint OF the Memphis Hay and Grain
Association and the individual grain deal
ers composing it against the Frisco and
Illinois Central railroads concerning the
rules governing the transit privilege, the
compliments lost in their attempt 10
have the rules changed, but won when
the commission decided that the carriers
must establish reshipping rates so as 10
put Memphis on an equality with Chi
cago, st. Louis and Ohio river crossings
where the transit rules are less stringent.
These reshipping rates are to be made
IN such a way that the Memphis dealers
may bring grain into Memphis on one
rate, ship it out on another to the point
OF consumption at a total charge no
greater than for grain movements for
like distances through Chicago, st. Louis
and other grain markets which compet1
with Memphis in Southeastern and Caro-.
lima territory.
The commission decided that a mixed
iced containing non-transit commodities
IN excess OF 20 per cent of its total
weight is not properly to be regarded as
a grain product, but is a new commodity
which is entitled to move from the tram

new YORK POLICE
SHIELD GAMBLERS
ROSE duplicates BECKER AND
THREE MEN HIGHER UP.
$4,000, 600 ANNUAL GRAFT
Sweeping Investigation or Police Depart
ment Is Ordered--New Evidence
Which Is Said to Involve
Prominent Officials.

New York.-Sworn statements tending
to show that the annual graft collected
by high police officials in New York City
from gambling houses and other illegal
reports has amounted within the last
year to So, 400, 900, are in the hands of
District Attorney Whitman. The state
ments were made to the district attor-
ney by BALD Jack Rose, self-accused
graft collector for Police Lieutenant
Charles Becker, head Of the "strong arm
squad"
This annual yield of s2,4O0,0OO protec-
ton money was equally divided, accord
ing to the story told by Rose, among
four high officials of the police Depart
ment, one of them being Becker, and
from other evidence the district attor-
ney has collected, he has reason to sus-
pect that each 100000 was further
distributed. In other words, there were
four separate systems or bureaus of
graft collection, each headed by a high
police official.
Mr.. Whitman has the names of the
other three police officials whom Rose
has named and his further efforts in
this now most sensational "police ex-
posture" that New York has ever seen,
will be directed toward Strengthening
the evidence which points against them.
The names of a former prominent city
official has been brought to the attention
of the district attorney as having been
closely connected with the graft sys-
tem," but it was learned that the evi.
dence thus far obtained against him is
not of a tangible nature.
