 $IO Gold Piece in Contest.

Miss Gertrude Brinton is Awarded the
 $IO Gold Piece in Contest.
 The first count in The News popular piano voting contest, took place Monday evening, 7:3o o'clock. Upon the ballot box being emptied the judges were greeted by large pile of vote coupons but their efforts soon depleted this heap of "wotes for women"
 The gentlemen who loaned their time and services as judges were, George Roger. Freeman Dempsey and Allyn Fuller.
 The total number of votes. to date, Monday, was 126,8
 The question of who should receive the $1o in gold offered by The News to the young lady contestant having the greatest number of votes at the first count, was the important question and the count showed Miss Gertrude Brln- ton had received the greatest number of votes, 42,975 and therefore the $1O in gold belongs rightfully to her for the splendid efforts she put forth so far in this contest.
 The contestant ranking second was Miss Mary Tierney. with 25,575, and though 8 few thousand separates her standing from that of the leader. Miss Brinton, yet the difference isn't much when one stops to figure that every little effort put forth by @ contestant is always rewarded by a very large numeral.
 The name of Miss Mary Fitch appears 1Continned on Etghth Page.l

USES HIS HANDY LAMP TO AS

vice From Cadillac Electric
Equipment

When the Cadillac Motor Car Com
pany adopted the electric system
now on its 1912 cars, it had no idea
of the scope of the service this equip
ment would provide. It believed
tnat great advance had been made
and SO the equipment has proved a.
long the ordinary lines followed by
the average motorist. But it re-
manned for one of the Cadillac own
ers in Ft. Wayne. Indiana, to show
that this electrical equipment can be
of vital service to the surgeon who
finds it necessary to perform an OPP
GRAFTON in hurry and far removed
from the conveniences of the hospital
operating room. This doctor ex-
plains how he uses the electrical de-
vice on his Cadillac to assist him in
performing operation in the country
where lighting appliances may not
be available. The man who points
out this novel possibility is Dr.H A.
Duemling. chief surgeon of the Luth-
eran Hospital. of Fort w ayne.
Writing about his experience with
Cadillac cars. DR.. Duemling says: Il
have owned and driven FIVE Cadillac
cars. Every one stunning and per-
forming good service today. Since |
have had the electric 1912 attach
ment ] use the handy lamp with an
extra long cable for illuminating the
operative field when obliged to oper-i
ate in farm houses after dark. The
danger from explosion of the ether
from open lamps is in this way avoid
ed and the light can easily be carried
where most needed. We slip the
cable through unuer the slightly
raised window. | wish you would
put some of the doctors next to this
scheme. ?
Discussing the Cadillac. DR.. Dueml-
ing perpetrates this aphorism:
The 'coreless apple hasn't any
thing over the 'troubleIess Cadillac.

BIJOU PLAY is
WELL RECEIVED
Whirlpool" Opens to
Big House Last Night.

This weeks play at the BlJou,
t"The Whirlpool" was well received
by a full house last night. This is a
typical play of the present day, de
! picting the evils resulting from
money mad speculation in Wall
street, la q most tragic manner; and
afterward shifting the cen of &C
ton to the far west; the home or
the ranch, the fearless cowboy, the
in~vigorating free and simple life of
the unconventional west, where hon
esty Is quickly recognized, and vii
liany swiftly punished.
Jack Hunter, the honest but
doubling ranchman, was most cap
tably handled by Mr.. Petit, and his
Interpretation of the victim of the
uncle's villiany, and the doubts OF
his wife's fidelity, in the poison
scene of the last act, held the audit
fence in deepest attention. The UNI
fortunate banker, who Is unable to
bear the strain of financial loss, and
the character of DIR. Billy Moser, OF
the Hunter ranch, were portrayed
by Mr.. Walters In his usual, thor
ough, conscientious manner. faith
full in every detail an dearnest In
execution.
Sam C. Miller, as Sam Jones,
Jacks uncle, a wicked, deceitful old
scoundreI, was villiany personified
to completion, while Polly Jones, by
Miss Corda Davy. as the daughter of
Sam Jones, whose nature differs 80
widely from her father, makes a
sweet looking, artless and honest
girl of the west. Under the skillful
handling and keenly appreciative
rendering of every shade of express
sion, Marie Harcourt makes of Peg
gy Baxter, the lady who loses her
dog, the lady of a wonderful wiiful
disposition, q character that pro-
vokes unbounded humor.
The ever brilliant comedy work of
Mr.. Conroy, in Alexander Percival
Green, who resorts to pistols to
make love and succeeds, Is shown in
his uproariously humorous style.
Mildred Baxter, who sacrifices
her own heart to save her father,
and afterwards becomes the victim
of an infamous plot, Is beautifully
exemplifed and most excellently de-
lineated by Miss Madge Halter.
Richard LaSalle, as the unfortunate
and rejected suitor, George Mention,
who fees to the west to drown his
grief and finds another love as q
balm to his sore heart, fills the role
intelligently, careful and precise in
every expression. An innovation
and one that Is ~delighting the audi
ences this week Is the violin solos
between acts three and four by Mrs.
Leah X. Rogers. The en-
oopoo Joc night a{taot thn nnDraasn

Gardner Vincent is the leading guy
of the show. the act is called The

are called extrayaganzas, / hope
they'll come often. There are a
bunch of people in the act, and a ny

curtain goes up it shows a volcano
splitting to beat the band. Then a
fellow erawls out of a whales mouth,
(Jonah's rival you know)-then the
fellow rescues a girl from the Arabs
and they beat 1t ON the horse. When
they get to America on the horse
the girl and the fellow do q dance
that's a pippin, gee they fly over ev-

they got the habit from the horse.
It's a peachy act all right, and you
