7 ET me suggest something that concerns one
l. venerable theatrical tradition other than
that relating TO the characters in the play.
This is the TRADITION we may give 1t
that name-of the quivery music played
during certain sad or tense situations OF a
play. A great many people are inclined to
believe this is a useless relic OF an obscure
dav. 1t is nothing Of the sort. 1t IS an es-
tablished fact that the playing Of certain
melodies like The Spring Song Cthc old
standby in such crisis has a direct effect
on the heart of the spectator and auditor
lust as it IS a fact that the drawing Of bow
across high pitched violin string will make
a dog whine 50 will the dear old Spring
Song make an audience feel wccpy, and 50,
in a tense situation, will a quick, nervous tune
make the audience feel excited. Let people
laugh all they want TO at the mention OF the
ouiverv music tradition, but you will dis
cover that they will be affected by it just
like all the others, once they are seated in the
theatcr.
Every trade has its tricks, most Of which
change wear in and year out; but the tricks
of the theatrical trade are trademarks.

ALL AFTER JACK JOHNSON.
Federal and Chicago Authorities
Prosecute Negro Chs mpion.

CHICAGO, Oct. 21.-Federal and mu-
nicipal authorities have united here
in an attempt TO put Jack Johnson out
of business. Federal officials served
subp9nas on several employees Of the
black pugilist to appear before the Fed
eral Grand Jury which is investigating
johnson under the white slave law
The city authorities are taking steps
to revoke the license of his saloon.
The charges against johnson. brought
because of his relation with Lucille
Cameron. the young white girl who de-
clared that she was in love with the
negro, have made things so unpleasant
for him that many Of his sporting con-
tracts have been ordered cancelled. II
seems more than likely that his days
in the prize ring are over on account OF
the indignation aroused against him.
One Of the subpGnas served by the
Federal authorities to-day was on Jack
Curley, Johnson's former manager, in
whose home the Cameron girl was
found. Curley's maid, Miss Thomas
has given the Federal authorities i'm
portant Information regarding occur
rences in the Curley home when the
Cameron girl lived there. Mrs. Cam
eron- Falconet, the girls mother, was
with Federal officials for more than an
hour today and Il was said that her
testimony would lead to the serving OF
more subpGnas tomorrow and also tc
arrests.
Lucille Cameron is still in the Jail al
Rockford. Ill. She will he the first wit
ness before the Grand Jury. Robert T.
Cantwell. a lawyer. was before Federal
Judge Carpenter to-day armed with q
writ OF habeas corpus for the Cameron
girl. The Government is prepared &c
fight her release. Cantwell did not file
the writ. hut asked why the girl is beine
held and also asked for n reduction OF
her bail. He would not say who his
client IL in the case.
When johnson called up James II
wilkerson. United States District Attor-
ney, and said that ire was ready to put
up the $4,000 bail for the girls release
he was told that his money would no,
be accepted in this case II he put up @
million.

appeals TO the courts and IL IL believed
that the only remedy Of those affected
by the present and similar future decisions
is an appeal either to the discretion of
the Government or direct to Parliament
for change In the act.
The original petition upon which the
proceedings was based was signed by
MIR. Caron and eleven others. who declared
that they were adversely affected as
consumers or producers. but Mr.. Caron
and his company were the real parties
In interest.
The petition alleged that the United
Shoe Machinery Company Of Canada
1t deals in machinery required in the
manufacture Of boots and shoes and also
in supplies for the same and that "the
company does now and for years past has
refused to sell its machinery, but leases
them to manufacturers who may require
them for use. And one or more Of the
machines controlled by the company have
heretofore been used In all boot and shoe
factories as part Of their customary equip
ment. All. or practically all, the leases
are under written contracts for long
periods, usually Of twenty years. each
covering, one machine. and are therefore
practically interminable."
The petition alleged that the persons
concerned in the company complained Of
were Sidney W. Winslow, its president, and
George W. Brown. general manager and
treasurer. Of Boston, and Frank w Knowl-
ton Of Montreal, its Canadian manager.
The board Of investigation was formed
by the company selecting w. j. White, the
petitioners selecting j. G. Walsh and these
Mr.. White writes the minority opinion.
T. Chase Casgrain of Montreal was chief
counsel for the company. He is about to
succeed Hon. F. ID. Monk, whose resigna-
ton as Minister of Public Works becomes
effective tomorrow in the Cabinet.
