''FORTuNE HUNTER" BEGINS ENGAGEMENT
 TONIGHT AT POLES
WINCHELL SMITHS GREAT AMER ICAN COMEDY DRAMA PROM
 ISED FINE PRESENTATION
 BY POLL PLAYERS.

NQthing less than a theatrical tri- umph is the. presentation this week al Poli's theatre of Winchell Smiths world famous play, ''The Fortune Hunter one of the biggest successes Broadway has ever known, and still playing in the principal cities of Am erica in the original road companies In securing the rights to this splen- did production for Bridgeport, Man. ager Poli again has vindicated his 1 policy of giving to patrons nothing but the very newest, the best, and most expensive that the theatrical market can afford-yet at prices that place an afternoon Or evening of the very best theatrical enjoyment within the reach of everyone.
 est, most entertaining, breeziest and most interesting comedy of recent years. It is not a farce-comedy, far from it, for a most serious vein runs through it; but it is replete with hu- 1 man interest. and teaches a lesson ness of its humor and the excellence of the moral are the features chief ly responsible for the great success of 1'The Fortune Hunter
 The story concerns young man, once rich, who has, lost his inheritance
 and cannot make his way in the
 world. On the advice of a shrewd
 friend he goes to small town in-
 tent on repairing his broken fortunes
 by marrying the village heiress.
 His adventures and the outcome of
 his fortune-hunting expedition furnish the theme for one of the most delight full comedies ever conceived. To those who fear that the end is the sordid one indicated by the title of the play, it may be said in advance that ''The Fortune Hunter" ultimately weds
 fortune-but not in cash.
 The entire original nr0011cfion 1f this company just as used by the New York company in which Jack Barry more starred for two years, has been secured to make the Bridgeport pro- duction perfect scenically and the Poli Players will give a performance that will compare favorably in every way with the work of the original company.
 Owing to the tremendous public in- terest in this great attraction the safe of seats will be unusually heavy and. tickets must be secur u well in ad-s vance.
 Two special matinee attractions for the week have been announced.
 Tomorrow. afternoon everyone .at- tending the performance will be given a handsome souvenir autograph photo-a graph of a popular Poli player.
 On Thursday afternoon the manage ment has arranged to have another lowing the regular matinee, perform ance The audience is invited to join the players on the stage, make the ac quaintance of the cast of the Fortune Hunter and partake of the refresh fr1entS which will be served

FIRST REVIEW OF
A FLYING ARMADA

Paris, Sept. 27-The first review
ever held of a complete aeroplane ar
mada took place this morning at
Villacoublay, near Paris. No fewer
than 72 French army flying machines
with full compliments of pilots and
observers, and motortrucks bearing
supplies therefor, passed In
review before French Mihister of War
Millerand. The airmen and their craft
had just returned from the great army
maneuvers at which they achieved
many triumphs. and made an impos
ing display when lined up on the
parade ground. Thousands Of people
were present, and there was great
enthusiasm. Millerahd in a speech
dwelt on his and the nations deter
mination to keep France in the fore
front in aviation.
An extraordinary spectacle was pre-
sented at the conclusion of the review
when 20 aeroplanes rose in a fiocI
and sped eastward to resume theil
stations on the German frontier.

Wisconsin Governor An
nounces He Will Vote
for Roosevelt.
NOMINATION is THEFT
Declares He Can't Support Can
didate Chosen by Tactics
Used at Chicago.

Madison, Wis, Sept. Ex-Governor
McGovern in lengthy open statement
today announced he would vote for the
Roosevelt electors Nov 3. Aside from
this the governor viii support the re-
publican state. congressional, legislat-
i've and local tickets.
The governor says he cannot advo-
cate the reelection of Taft and Sher-
man because, as a progressive repub-
lican. he finds himself diametrically
opposed to almost everything that the
ticket represents. He goes at great
length in explaining his position by
criticising the administration of Taft
He also refers to the national conven-
ton, claiming Taft's denomination
was stolen. Considerable space is also
given in explaining his reason in not
being able to support the democratic
ticket.
CALLS WILSON FREE TRADER.
In Wilson there is much to ad-
mire," the statement says, but he is
a free trade democrat and relies for
his election upon the support of boss
ridden political machines"
McGovern says he can see no pros
pect of advantage to the progressive
cause in the possible victory of Will
son over Taft. Should 1t occur" he
says, ''it would be a moral victory
only" He praises the progressive
party and the national candidates.
TAKE WISCONSIN IDEAS.
Referring to the progressive plat
form the governor says: "Manifestly
III is the Wisconsin idea nationalized.
For the first time things for which
Wisconsin progressives have fought
for years are now vital issues in a
nationwide campaign. It is as like
the republican state platform of two
years ago as two peas The republican
platform of this year is in harmony
with both"

Estate Subject of Bitter
Controversy.
BARE FAMILY SKELETON
Last Days of Noted Phiianthropist
Filled With Disputes Over
Money.

Chicago, Sept. 27.-Municipal Jadee'
Charles D. Clark yesterday heard the
squaBble of heirs over tfs crumbs of
the $6,0oO,O0O estate of the late DR.. d.
K. Pearsons, eccentric philanthropist,
and from the testimony it appears that
the last months of the princely giver,
who was 80 years old when he died,
were not as peaceful as he would have
had them
He was threatened with a suit by H.
P. PearsOns attorney for Mrs. Belle
P. Mappin of Philadelphia. A niece
she was the "favorite" relative of the
aged man 1t is her claim against the
estate-there is $4,000 left and she
wants it all-that DR.. Pearsons agreed
to give her a much larger sum if she
would keep house for him.
REMAIN TWO WEEKS ONLY.
: She and her daughter moved to Hins-
dale. They remained at the Pearsons
homestead for two weeks. Then they
could stand DR.. Pearsons' ways no
/ longer But they were there long
enough to secure $4,000. He gave her
another thousand when Mrs. Mappin
said she would sue.
Why the aged man could not get
along with his niece is best known by
Herman Koenig, man of all work for
DR. PearsCns for IA years He classed
Mrs. Mappin as a designing woman

er's money as she could get. He was
indignant at the effort of counsel to
make a contract out of the correspond.
ence between the aged doctor and his
niece. He sneered derisively at times
during the attorneys argument, which
painted Mrs. Mappin as a woman with
the best Of intentions.
ONLY RELATIVES OPPOSING.
D. K. Pearsons Of Hinsdale. a neph
ew and namesake Of the doctor. is the
only relative opposing the claim OF
Mrs Mappin. He acted as his own at
torney. Koenig was his witness. All
he did was TO ask just one question
and Koenig fairly bristling, told a long
story in which he defended the mem
ory of the philanthropist.
1t was the assertion OF Mrs. Mappin
that she and her daughter departed
from the Pearsons residence because
the doctor would not keep enough fire
to keep them warm.
That he freeze them out, that Is moi
so, shouted Koenig. 1T is a lie, The
house was warm enough. She came al
. the end of May and stayed two weeks
She tried to squeeze money ont OF
him. She got $4,000 for nothing. That
is what ! have to sayl"
Did you hear DR.. Pearsons and Mrs
Mappin talk about the new house -
asked d. X. Pearsons.
~NOTHING But Talks
That is all she did-taIk. She
wanted too much. He would not pal
