As excellent as il is, the above is
not by Shakespeare, but is thought
which was entertained by Major Wer-
ner last night when he witnessed the
appearance OF young woman before
the fOotlights at the Empire TheateT,
who came out in an extremely de-
collete gown in a musical act which
is a feature OF this weeks bill.
SO much weight did this thought
gain with Major Werner as the act
proceeded that he sought out the
pressed himself. The result was that
at the next performance certain parts
Of the artiste's attire were no longer
imaginary, but had been converted
into a concrete reality.
AS no previous complaint had been
registered the MANAGEMENT was I'M
aware that there was anything amiss
about the gown, but they immediate
~ directed the actress to tack an
amendment to il, which was done
forthwith.
1t is said that such instructions
proved a surprise as we'll as q source
Of some indignation to the fair per-
former, who seemed not to under
stand the lack of imagination on the
part Of Major Werner, which was the
cause OF his failure to appreciate the
beautiful imagery of the act. But
the chief, perhaps rendered callous by
constant dealing in the law, thought
there was something too much either
out of evidence or in evidence about
the gown.

ROOSEVELT TO
fight TO TIE end
Talk of Wilson as Running Mate
Independent Convention
in August.

CHICAGO, ILL Special
Followers OF Theodore Roosevelt
are in active revolt against him
and there was a marked shift in
the convention program of the ex-
President.
Though beaten, he will keep
up the fight, however.
This outline of his plans was
given by one of the leaders still
loyal TO Roosevelt:
IF the convention piIrgeS its roll
then there will be no bolt no
matter who the nominee may be.
''If the convention endorses the
action taken by the Republican
national committee. the ROOse-
Welt leaders will notify the con-
vention that they refuse to recOg-
nize its legality and will decline
to be bound by any action the
convention may take.
There will be no actual bolt,
although there Is a possibility that
some far Western States may
leave the hall.
"A plan OF passive resistance
will be followed by many of the
Roosevelt delegates. They will
not vote on motions connected
with the organization and work of
the convention. Unless a change
in plans Is made Colonel RoOse-
veIt's name will be placed In NOM
inatiOn.

gates VIII take steps to call a con-
VentiOn In Chicago during the

all progressives will be invited.
and il Is expected Colonel ROOse-
Welt Will be nominated for the
presidency.
Woodrow Wilson is mentioned
as the cOlone's running mate"
Ii was the revolt OF his fol-
lowers against the coIonel's order
to bolt that caused a sudden shift
I'm his plans. From that shift de-
velOped an apparent decision to
form "A third party.
Colonel Roosevelt had original
ly hoped TO take over enough
delegates to claim to be the reg
ular" Republican nominee. When
his men refused to bolt, however.
this hope was given up.
