LILACS in GREAT
PERCUSSION HERE
FARGO PEOPLE ENJOYING THE
LILAcs THIS YEAR AFTER TWO
SEASONS or DISAPPOINTMENT
VERY BEAUTIFUL SPECIMENS
IN THE CITY.

In 1910 and in 1911 Jack Frost very
rudely put the lilacs out of business,
but this season the conditions were
favorable and the beautiful flowers
are found everywhere in Fargo in
riotous profusion.
It seems as if the bushes were en-
~deavoring to compensate. their owners
for past disappointments. Not only
are the bushes loaded with great clus-
tiers, but the flowers appear richer in
color than usual.
They are of many shades, from
practically pure white to the richest
and darkest puppies, almost a blue.
Hundreds of Fargoans are d~ecorat-
ing their homes and those who have
an abundance of lilacs are dividing
with their less fortunate friends. It
is a common sight to see men, women
and children carrying punches along
the streets.

NEW YORK TO HAVE
 WOMEN DEPUTIES

New York, January 1.,-sheriff Harbo- coff who took office today said tonight 1t looked as though there would be q rush of women to take advantage of his offer to appoint members of the fair sex as special deputy sherrifs. He received an inquiry from Mrs. John s. Cosby, presi- dent of the Women's Democratic club, asking how many names of women as candidates for deputies she might sub init.
 "As many as you like" the sheriff re- piled. T believe the innovation will be a good policy and I would like to appoint a large number of widows or other re- sponsible women who are dependent upon themselves for support. There Is great need of such deputies in dance halls and other public places where young women need protecton."
 The sheriff is permitted to appoint near- ly 200 deputies. He said he would make the choice of his first women deputies in a few days.

THREATENS TOFREE
 ALL STATE CONNECTS

Little Rock. January 1.-Scores of men in convict camps in Arkansas will be liberated if Governor Donaghy carries out the threat he made today to free them if contractors do not use methods more humane in handling them.
 q give notice to the contractors the governor indignantly declared, that l will depopulate every convict camp in the state if this cruelty is not stopped. I will turn the prisoners out as fast as they are brought in unless conditions are changed he exclaimed.
 The situation was brought to the att tention of the governor through the pitt iful story of a negro who told Mir. Don aghy he. had been beaten with strap and who bore deep scars on his back
 The governor said the black mans story was but one of many which had come to him recently and he asserted that his information led him to believe inhuman methods were used by majority of the contractors to whom the conyicts were leased
 No estimate of the number who will be affected if Governor Donaghy carries out his threat could be obtained but they will run into hundreds.

Gay New York

There is a preponderaiice of avoirdupois in the chorus, a deficiency in the music line and the spresence of several weak actors in this weeks billing at the BiJou. "Gay New York" otherwise it might be termed a good show in every sense of the 50 cent standard. The chief points of attraction in this two act comedy with occasional musical Interruptions are in the humorous situations, singing sof the Trocadero trio and Miss Wanda Stuart's pleasing rendition of her part.
 The story, which is more complex than the usual musical comedy, revolves around Johnny Wise, who is man per haps with good intentions. but posses sing friends with bad designs and is arrested with the inmates of gambling den on the eve of his marriage to the widow of the late lamented Tom Brown. Mrs. Brown inherited the stoutness. of the chorus but can be forgiven as her role could accommodate e this with ease. There Is step daughter. Margie Brown. who has lover. Harry Wilson, and also has friend, Clarice Worthing, who is an authority upon other peoples busi- ness Clarice happened to be in the police court when Johnny Wise. who was going the rounds of the White Way with a well meaning friend, Jones, just for a sightseeing tour and was caught
 in the gambling raid, was brought be- fore the judge. She hurries to tell Mar gie, who in turn tells her step-motner that Jones, the best man for the pros pective wedding. was arrested in the raid The fun begins for Johnny Wise when he comes for the marriage ceremony and learns that the sheriff will serve a war-1 rant on him for a jail sentence of two months. He trumps up fake "appotnt- pointment in the army where Harry Wilson is also going, and leaves his bride of few hours.

it shows the exterior of the hotel where
 Mrs. Johnny Wise and Marge Brown
 are awaiting the return of the brave
 hero, who has the name Of genuine
 general, whose appointment he told his
 home folks was his very own. recep-
 ton has been planned for the welcoming
 of the bridegroom and his war tales
 upon his arrival are some of the amus-
 ing features of the piaylet. If the real
 General Wise hadn't been such poor
 actor the final unraveling of the skein
 of the false General Wise's dilemma
 might have been more effective. As usual
 everything ended well, the young lovers
 mated, the old ones reconciled and the chorus girls had the privilege of being on the stage as the curtain went down. Thomas J. Grady as Johnny Wise, tpe false, speaks his lines with ease bilt his make up is not very enticing, while | Joseph Birnes as Jones Is disappoint- l ing until he displays a streak of the l comedian in the Trocadero trio in the ! second act. Miss Wanda Stuart as Mar 1 gie Brown is pretty and would be pret- tier if the color had not been applied quite so heavily to her countenance. Miss | Julia Calhoun as Mrs. Brown interprets
 her part ordinarily and Ella Wilson as Clarice is vivacious at least. Harlan Briggs as Harry Wilson is one of the best if not the star, and Samuel West as Doctor Perry. loses a good oppor- tunity to make an interesting portrayal of his assignment The genuine General | Wise is played very poorly by Lee Hol- len but he has the champion voice of the company and sings we'll In one of the song hits of the evening given by l the Trocadero trio, composed of TIOl- 1 len West and Birnes. Another encored | song selection was That Haunting Mel l ody.' sung by Miss Stuart and tha chorus as well as "The Mysterious Rag" sung by the chorus alone.
 The New Year houses yesterday were well filled and there will be the usual l matinees on Tuesday. Thursday and Sat ! urday with night performances all week.

In a brilliant and at times spectacular game last night, the Birmingham Ath- letic club basketball five defeated the lads from Vanderbilt by the score of 4S to IS. The game was interesting and clean, although the Vanderbilt players fouled often and numerous offenses of hqding and pushing were punished. The university boys were outpayed. although they exhibited splendid team work. The team work of Vanderbilt was splen- did and it far surpassed that of any previous five that has been seen from the Vanderbilt university. However. the swiftness and the daring of the Athletics overcame this asset of the Vanderbilt team and the Athletics ran away with tho visitors.
 The Vanderbilt team was very proficient at passing the sphere from player to player, and often would get the ball right up at the basket, but then the shooters failed to deliver. The squad of visitors was also proficient at fouling. total of 20 fouls was marked up against the visitors.
 The chief difficulty with the Commo- dores seemed to be that of basket shoot. ing. On the other hand, the Athletics were splendid at the art of shooting.
 The exhibition of the Athletics far surpassed the anticipation of even the most ardent admirers. Those that have kept up with the team for years de- clare that the Athletic club has the best team in the history of that institution and that unless all signs fall will be the champion five of the south. In the first half the boys in blue start ed off like house afire. They com pletely had the Vanderbilt guard off its feet. Wharton, the captain of the Ath- letics, displayed marked generalship, while Satterfeld, at center played like fiend His shooting for the basket was that of a marksman; his jumping was spectacular. and his head work was cool and keen.
 The Athletics did not play a game consisting of individual work, but they pulled to win by team work and sys- tenn. The guards stuck to their oppon- ents, while the opposing set of guards were unable to play position on their men. The centers, of course, did not stay together much, for Satterfeld was ever on the aggressive and ran away with his man.
 About the last part of the first half Wharton was disabled and was unable to remain in the game. This had it's effect upon the team, but did not stop the onesidedness of the struggle. The score at the end of the first half was Athletic club 30 to Vanderbilt IA In the second half the club scored 10 points while the college boys made but two field goals, or four points.

ATHLETIC CLUB DEFEATS
 VANDERBILT BY AS TO IS
By REUBE A. LEWIS

Vanderbilt whose team is partly com
 posed of gridiron players, was somewhat
 inclined to leave the rules of the game,
 but 1t was unintentional and not willful. When one of the Athletics would gain the sphere, someone on the opposing team,
 in an eager effort to gain it would use
 both hands In drlbbling, upon few oc-
 casions. the college boys would use both
 hands, and other offenses were noticed. Courleux, who was the referee, did
 splendidly and refereed a fast. clean well received. West acted in the capacity
 of umpire and also did well. The officials
 were very cautious and watched the play CTS closely.
 In speaking of the work of the players,
 the fact that the club has some of the 'niftiest" players in the business should be ''harped" upon. In Wharton, an old timer, but yet star, Seals. spectacular guard, McGowan and Satterfield. the club
 has quartette of stellar artists, and three out of the four will probably make
 the all-southern team.
 For Vanderbilt Martin and Nelson, the forwards. played splendidy. All of the
 points for the Commodores were respon- sible to the playing of these two. Both
 teams played a. number of extra men, and they performed commendably. Manager Klyce of the Commodores,
 when asked as to how the Athletics
 stacked" up with the other southern I teams, declared that the Birmingham team would be able to defeat Mobile, Co.,
 lumbus and every other club. that they played.
 The local fans regret that Mobile will
 not give date to the local squad. They hope that Mobile will reconsider. Nopdarhiit Goals EouI Eotla
