George v. Hobart There are four

In the three acts, all Ct which gain

Of one year at Weber's Theater last

Mr, Hobart has greatly improved
upon the original, injecting much
native American humor and elimi-
mating all OF the unpleasant CALI

to frown upon the piece in Its Ger

written new lyrics to the charming
music of Paul Briauet.
An outline Of the story Is as fol-

Inviting Destruction.

When Theodore Roosevelt becomes per-
manent President Of the United States,
with powers betting his capacities, his
ambitions and his responsibilities as ad-
iuster of all human ills and affairs, he
will probably take early occasion to wipe
the state of North Carolina clear off the
political map. 1t is state of discord
and an unregenerate unbeliever. There
is no health in it. Nothing could pos
sibly save it from humiliation in such an
event, for it has been guilty Of lese ma
ieste in the first degree. and it deserves
extinction.
To begin with, it was in North Carolina
that the big bull moose was locked out of
his private car in the early morning and
compelled to stand for long time in
scanty attire on the rear platform. where
he had gone to wave a benigpapt hand
at a group Of faithful souls who had
assembled to see the Great One pass.
This was bad enough to have put North
Carolina forever ON the black book, and
grace of my displeasure."
But this Is not ALL At a place called
Hickory the ineffable person was actually
prevented from making speech. He
had his voice with him. little frayed
but still audible to the limits of the as
sembled multitude. and his phrases were
all freely on tap, and he was about to
enlighten North Carolina on the essen
tails Of citizenship and craftsmanship,

The Stars Ownership and Circulation

In compliance with the act of Congress
approved August "a, 1912, The Star pub
fishes today statement of it's actual
circulation and a list of its owners and
officers Against this enactment of Con-
gress there has been much demur on the
grounds of both public policy and con-
stitutionality The Star, however, be-
lieves, regardless of the question of con-
stitutionality which remains to be tested
by an appeal to court, that this statutory
requirement is reasonable and that COM
pliance with it fully and frankly is de-
sirable The Star firmly believes that all

ter should be plainly marked advertise

paper is a public institution, and in its
relations to the Post Office Department 1t
is in enjoyment virtually of public
franchise through it's admission to the
mails at low rates of carriage and de-
livery. There should be no secret as to
ownership, and all facts regarding circu-
lation should be public property. AS
long as the act remains in force The Star
will comply with it's terms both in the
letter and in the spirit.

The Brewery Furnace Crime.

The local police investigation in the
case of Arthur Webster, whose body II
is believed was cremated after he had
been killed in fight in the furnace room
Of a brewery, has hardly been of a char
acter to inspire confidence in the de-
tective abilities Of the Washington or
ganization. Possibly it is unfair to at
tempt to analyZe this case in the light
of the known facts, to reconstruct It
from the detectives point OF view at the
outset. But the fact remains neverthe-
less that all of the detective work in
this case has been done too late to be
OF service in the execution of justice if
indeed murder has been committed
The facts that We're known at the out
set would seem to have been sufficient
TO warrant some action. Arthur Webster
disappeared without any known reason
for wishing to absent himself from home
He was last seen in a certain place and
in company with Lentie Jett. with whom
he had been on bad terms. Jett could
give no explanation of webster's absence,
and his own account at the outset Of
the mans disappearance was unsatis-
factory and vague. Suspicion was di-
rected to him. but nothing was done in
the way of acute Investigation or cross
examination of Jet save by Webster's
father, and thus thirteen days went by
when Jett took his own life. Even then
the police We're not aroused to action
untK the widow made direct accusations.
Then began the so-called detective work
that led to the discovery of blood stains
on the bricks of the furnace room floor
and soon afterward OF bone fragments
in the furnace ITSELF There was nothing
at all remarkable about the official Der

Torrance after the dead mans widow had
virtually led the police to the case.
Many a man is arrested on suspicion on
quite as slender a trace Of evidence as
existed against lett Immediately after
Webster's disappearance. But in this
case while the skeleton Of the crime was
present in the fact of disappearance and
the fact of last view in the company OF
an enemy, no suspicion seems to have
entered the official mind that a crime
had been committed. The widows dream,
a remarkable circumstance indeed that
appears to withstand scrutiny, gave the
police the first real suggestion which
elementary detective deduction might
have provided. Detective work is largely
a matter of ina gination. 1t is the busi-
ness of the crime tracer to gather in all
possibilities and select the most plausible
explanation of a mystery. In this in
stance, however, the obvious conclusion
was missed.
1t may be said in behalf of the police
in this affair that many persons dis
appear from home, afterward to reap
pear or to be found by chance in another
city. that little weight is attached to any
one case unless it is accompanied by
pldlu SuSSeSllOIS u IOul pidS OoSlDiy
if the police We're to regard every case
Of disappearance as indication of poten-
tial crime they would be kept too busy
to attend to the ordinary duties of their
department. But there is a strong chance
in each instance of vanishment of some
motive otner than a desire to get away.
Every disappearance is to be accounted
for on that ground or either as an accident
or a crime. and with the chances fairly
even between the Intentional and the I'M
intentional elopement it would seem to
be one of the most important duties of
the police to treat every case at the out
set as of the first Importance and to pur-
sue every obtainable clue to the limit.
Had this been done with intelligence and
persistence Websters slayer would prob
ably have been identified and arrested
quickly.

The Fight for Health.

The Star feels that its campaign against
the flies, which closed on Monday, has
been an emphatic success and has con-
tributed practically and valuably to the
health of the District. The net results
are obvious from any study of the NOR
tally and morbidity records. There has
been less sickness in Washington this
summer than heretofore of a nature at
tributable to the fly as a carrying agency.
The city is cleaner. A clearer under
standing of the nature of disease and the
value of cleanliness prevails throughout
the community.
All these things have been accomplished
by an appeal to the children of Washing
ton to enroll themselves in, the army OF
sanitation The Stars offer of prizes serv-
ing as a specific inducement. These children
have not only slain nearly 2s.OOO,oO0 flies
and thereby reduced the actual fly popu-
lation during the summer undoubtedly by
many hundreds of millions, but they have
become active agents in the maintenance
of the sanitary regulations. Through them
the health department has been enabled
to discover unclean places, breeding CEN
ters for flies and other evil influences.
The children have carried into their
factor in the preservation Of health. In
short, Washington has been aroused as
never before to an appreciation of the in
innate connection between cleanliness and
health.
The Stars work in this direction would
not have been as successful as it has
proved to be if it had not been for the
jealous cooperation of the Districts
health department, one officer of which
in particular devoted himself to this en-
deavor with self-sacrificing zeal. Dir. Muir
ray has aided in making The Stars fly
campaign not merely a local success, but
in giving it national value as well.
From all parts of the country and even
from other parts of the world have come
inquiries regarding this method of Kidding
the city of disease bearers. DIR. Murray
prepared an exhibit illustrative of the en-
terprise and its results which attracted
instant attention at the Congress of Hy-
giene and demonstrated that Washington
is in the front rank of modern cities in
the matter of health conservation. This
capable official, so thoroughly alive to the
importance of organized community work
in sanitation, deserves the thanks Of the
District for his invaluable cooperation
with The Star in this fight ior health.
