Belasco.

Jerome K Jerome's ability to intermix
heart throbs and comedy was never bet
ter exemplifed than in his three-act ef-
fort, 1.-The Way to Win Woman" used
this week with pleasing effect by the
Butterfield Players at the Belasco Thea
ter. DESPITE the fact that the bill desig-
mates the plot as a comedy, the love
theme bordering on tragedy, Is the main
line of action throughout the play. The
players were cast in congenial roles and
cordial reception was accorded them by
the audience.
The story Of the play is full Of heart
interest and centers around the efforts
of Dick Harvard to win the love and
affections of Madge Carruthers. who
aspires to become the wife or rich man
and to revel In the frothy atmosphere OF
fashionable society. Halward who Is
young lawyer, is practically penniless
and his suit Is spurned by the girl The
day after her refusal IIalward comes into
the possession Of a trust fund, left him
by friend with instructions to find his
boy and see that he comes into his own
as the rightful heir. The will leaves all
the money to Harvard, and the only men,
ton of an heir is contained in letter
which accompanies Iae will. Harvard is
tempted and falls: destroys the letter
and announces he has inherited a large
amount Of money.
OF course, then follows the usual out
come, Harvard marries the girl Of his
choice and Is ultimately found out, the
girl sticks to him and they forsake their
old friends and start out anew In a for
eign land on the plan Of honesty
Arthur Richie, as Dick Harvard. gave
a pleasing and manly portrayal of the
young English lawyer. Jane Marbury. as
Madge Carruthers, infused the role with
an artistic womanliness that appealed to
the audience from the start and gradually
increased as the play progressed.
Mr.. Butterfeld, as Archie Philbrick. and
Miss Glendenning. as Enid Elphick. con-
tributed to the comedy element by their
Juvenile love affair. Walter Wilson. as
Dan Graham. was one Of the delights OF
the performance. He carried his role
with the skill Of an artist. and the ease
and grace with which he portrayed the
guardian was quite pleasing
The remainder Of the company was
cast In congenial roles and the perform
ance moved with a smoothness that was
exceptional for first night effort.

Columbia,

When J.Hartley Manners, in a three
act comedy. pure and simple. undertook
to cope with the European prejudice of
the Christian against the Jew and to
make love. the worlds leveler, bring about
a happy solution to his plot, he entered
a delicate field. But by avoiding racial
and religious problems and handling
tense situations with exquisite tact, he
achieved success, at least from the en-
tertainment point Of view For this reason

Three Twins" with its tuneful songs.
such as ''Cuddle Up Little Closer and
the ''Yama Yama Man." came to town
last night for q weeks stay at Polls
Theater. One Of tho hits Of tho perform
ance last evening were the blonde wig
and straw-colored whislkers which Arthur

the third unsuspecting twin. No one can
imagine how we'll Mr.. Van Buren, can
dance in whiskers until the sight is

OF course. Mr.. Van Buren, lays no claim
to being a musical comedian. but when

pense with dancing they did SO with en-

The labor OF cleaning up the streets OF
the city and Kidding them of the debris
of Sunday nights hurricane will require
until Thursday for completion, and the
expense to the city for this work will be
about $500. This, says Truman Lanham
superintendent of parks and parking, is
| light, taking into consideration the veloc-
ity Of the wind and the heaviness Of the
| downpour of rain.
Reports made to Supt. Lanham from all
parts of the city show that only about
3G0 trees were uprooted or blown entirely
| down This is considered a small num-
| Der, when 1t is remembered that the trees
are in full leaf and therefore are more
likely to suffer from a heavy wind than
would be the case at another season of
the year However, the number of trees
| seriously damaged and with big limbs
torn or split off runs close to 5000. These
| will have to be trimmed and made safe
The fact that the appropriation for work
OF this kind for the current year is
down to about 1920. says the superin-
| tendent. will delay the work of trimming
the damaged trees, while those complete
ly destroyed will not be replaced until
the planting season next spring.
Getting Men and Teams.
Many laborers and most Of the teams
employed in the parks and parking de-
partment have been laid off, owing to
the shortness Of the appropriation. and
little was accomplished yesterday in
the cleaning-up process because Of the
smallness of the force. Men and teams
are being obtained and put to work as
rapidly as possible. and the end Of the
week will see the final traces Of the
storm removed.
The damage caused by the storm to
the Georgetown, Tenleytown and Rock
vile electric line, it is stated, will be
about $500 The greater part Of this
damage was at the top Of the hill on
Wisconsin avenue near Massachusetts,

Rhode Island also became a doubt
full state on the returns near midnight
and, based on the later votes report
ed. 1t seemed not wholly improbable
that its five electoral votes would go
to Wilson. The early returns gave an
apparent victory to Taft in New
Hampshire and Vermont but the Taft
pluralities dwindled as midnight ap'
preached to very few hundred votes
In each state and seemed likely to be
wiped out entirely.
The vote in Utah, reported up to
midnight, indicated the state might
be carried for Taft. The vote in
PENNSYLVANIA was amazingly close.
the returns from over a thousand pre-
cincts, embracing over $4,000 votes,
giving each of the three leading pres
idential candidates more than 10000
votes.
The New York state assembly
seemed to be overwhelmingly demo-
cratic. In Illinois indications were
that Judge Dunno, the democratic
candidate Tor governor. had won, not
w!thstanding the heavy Roosevelt
victory. Former Speaker Cannon
seemed to have been defeated for re-
election to congress In Illinois.
The confident claims of the Roose-
welt managers that Iowa, Michigan.
Illinois and Kansas would fall into
the Republican column. seemed veri-
fled at an early hour this morning.
The returns from California were
meagre, but left the state In doubt
between Wilson and Roosevelt.
The uncertainty regarding Vermont
vas settled by the announcement OF
the complete vote. which gave Mr..
Taft majority of 924 votes.
At 12:45 the Providence. r. r..
son and with the vote close in New
Hampshire, II seemed probable that
New England. with the exception Of
Vermont, had gone to the Democratic
column.
But little definite news from states
of the Pacific west was received ex-
cept from California. where Wilson
victory was indicated. The tabulation
of votes in the other western states
was so slow as to make predictions
impossible.
Returns on the election of members
of the house of representatives were
slow and there was little on which
to base a conclusion as to the pro-
portionate political complexion Of the
sixty-third congress. Indications were
that the democrats probably would
maintain their present majority In the
house with possible gains as forecast
in early reports TO political head
quarters.

Majority Against the Capital
Removal Bill.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. Scat
tering returns from nearly every
section of the state at 10 O'Clock
Tuesday night indicates that the bill
to remove the capital to Guthrie has
been defeated outright by a majority
OF $4,000 to $4,000 votes, not includ.
ing the votes not cast on the measure
which Will bo recorded against the
bill. The democrats scored a sweep
ing victory in the state, the demo-
cratic presidential electors being
elected by majority probably exceed
ing 10000 votes and every demo-
cratic candidate for state office be-
ing elected.
United States Senator Robert l..
owen will probably lead the state
ticket, with Jack Love for corporation
commissioner close behind. For con-
gress the democrats are certain to
have elected Davenport in the Third
district, Carter in the Fourth and Fer
ris In the Fifth by increased major
tiles and the election of Judge Carney
in the Second district appears ppb-
able. The race In the First district
is close between Bird Mcclure and
John j. Davis. All three democratic
candidates for congressman ut large
have been elected.
In the First judicial district, Justice
John B. Turner has been reelected
by a majority which probably will
exceed 10000 votes and In the south
ern district, Justice Furman of the
criminal court OF appeals has defeat
ed his opponent by at least 1000 votes
