The Theatre
AT THE EMPIRE.

The return of vaudeville acts at the
Empire theatre yesterday after a week
Of the ''legit" pleased Manager Dolly's
patrons, not only because of the fact
that it was a return to vaudeville, but
because the bill which is presented the
first half of this week comprises some
very strong acts. Charles DeCamo
and his clever dog, Cora" open up
the bill and the tricks which are ac-
complished by the smart little fox ter
rier are good. Miss Louise de Fogge,
clever little singer, with a good
voice, appears in the place of Tony
GreanO. Beck and Preston present a
comedy singing, talking and dancing
skit in which the Preston end of the
team eXCels. Miss Preston has very
pleasing voice. You all remember the
Dalto, Frees company which staged

Reach the North Pole?" That act is

PETE LISTER Is BACK;
VICTIM OF SALARY CUT

Pete Lister, who for II years has
been first sacking in the best of the
minor leagues, came back to Rock Is
land last night-a victim of the salary
limit OF the New York State league
and now is a free agent. but he is a
good one and the form which he has
displayed so far this season, has been
o. K. Though this is the hardest sea
son of the year for a ball player to
land berth, Pete is conf
dent that his qualifications will land
him a berth with one of the bigger
minor league teams. A youngster who
is willing to play for less salary and
allow the management of the Utica
team to stay within the league limit
is cavorting around the first sack. Pete
will stick here until he finds a promis-
ing berth and it is probable that he
will join the ranks of Harry Kelly
Blue Sox in order TO keep himself in
trim for anything which may present
itself in the future.

SMALL FORTUNE
FOR BOXING TEN ROUNDS

Chicago, May 21.-Champion AID
Wolgast and Packey Mcfarland Off
cially turned down a small fortune
offered for a 1O-round bout between
the two yesterday, both demanding a
better offer than was received from
New York promoters.
Up to date the best purse offered
for the go was made by Tim Hurst,
who agreed to give 3 per cent of the
gross receipts, 80 to Wolgast and %
to the Chicago boy, which was re-
fused without second thought. The
champions reason for not accepting,
50 he said, was that Mcfarland got
$4,000 for boxing Matt Wells, a sec
ond-rater, and he (Wolgast) is easily
worth $40, 900 for risking his title
against an opponent with the ability
of the stockyards fighter.
Packey thought the same way
about it, and for that reason Tom
Jones, manager of Wolgast, boarded
the Twentieth Century for New York
yesterday afternoon in an effort tC
get better offer. He expects to gel

OF TWO EVILS TAKE THE LESSER.
Helping Mr. Baker Truth That We May BE Guided Thereby

In the Lubbock Avalanche of
July IS appears an article signed
by John w. Baker which is force
fully illustrative of the narrow
ness and one sided tactics not
only incident to, but absolutely
dominant in connection with the
present campaign.
In the beginning Mr.. Baker
says:
I'm the selection of the this
governor, a serious problem must
be solved, the solution of which
will materially affect the interest
of the four millions of Texas peo-
pie
1T is a situation we have to
deal with, that to properly handle
it, we must lose sight ofmen and
concentrate our energies on
measures.
The only trouble so tar is the
fact that John w. has wasted
something like five thousand dol
lars worth of good serviceable
English language to decorate a
five cent thought. If there is
any serious problem involved in
this gubernatorial mule race |

for his services, giving no fur.
Their thought as to their luckless
condition? Surely a great man
wouldn't be guilty of such heart
lessness. But Bill must have
been. We hear no protest from
him as to the brutal methods of
conducting our penal institutions.
And yet persons who had trust
ed to his ability to save them
from this worse than death and
inferno fate, and who had per-
haps taken the last cent from
their pockets to compensate him,
were doubtless among the pitia-
BILE victims. Bill is loud in his
demands for prison reforms.
but he didn't speak until public
sentiment had overwhelmingly
revealed its attitude. and until
political and personal interest
made it inevitable. He never
spoke for the interest of the un-
fortunates, not even for his own
clients. if he ever let a criminal
go to the penitentiary, but he
did speak when Bill Ramsey's
interests got involved.
Ramsey was State Peniten-
tiary Commissioner when the
state road was built from Rusk
to Palestine. He was in con-
nection with the building of this
road that penitentisry cruelty
reached its zenith in Texas.
Frank Putnam in one Of his
graphic stories says that every
tie on that road was stained
with the blood Of some helpless
convict. And the investigation
that followed these charges re-
yealed. if possible, a state of
affairs more revolving than Put
nam had presented. Was Ram
sey ignorant of what was going
on under his administration? Ia
The Lubbock avalanche. (Lubbock, Tex.) 1909-1922, 1912-07-25

it safe to trust a man who will
be so ignorant at a time when
he could accomplish so much.
Ignorance of the law is no excuse
for crime, and the management
of penal institutions under Bill
Ramsey as a commissioner was
nothing less than criminal. Did
Bill Ramsey know about these
things? If so he is
nothing more nor less
than q heartless monster and
blantant demagogue. Take
your choice in defending your
friend, if Ramsey is your friend.
