GRAND Bill MAKES HIT.

1.-The Venetian Four made the big hit
in the Grand vaudeville bill last night
Three are violinists and one player on
the harp. Their musical offering is given
on a beautifully set stage, representing a
night scene in Venice.
Grant and Hoag, in a comedy sketch
called THE Troublesome Trunk" came
second in the recommendation of the crit
ical Monday night audience. They have a
clever sketch, the man especially being
very good, while the young woman is
handsome and wears charming gowns,
causing her partner to announce in an
aside that this act loses lot Of money
on fine dresses"
'fThe Antique Girl is a musical com
edy, presented by quite large company.
The honors of the cast are grabbed by
George NJ. George, as Jonathan Pinney,
proprietor Of the antique shop, which is
the scene Of the play. The other princi-
pals are good and the music and dancing
make up an amusing half hour.
The Four Florimonds give a good lad
der act similar to that of the Englishman
who made a big hit here recently, yet
with difference. They confine their act
to various clever tricks on the ladders,
doing much more of this work than the
E,nglishman, though lacking his line of
talk"
The weeks bill is completed with Gere
and Delaney, in a picturesque roller
skating novelty; Frank Mullane and a

Congressional Officer Bound to
Summon Oil Kings Brother
to Puio Inquiry.

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-A small army
If detectives under Sergeant at Arms
charles F. Riddell, of the national house
Of representatives, and his assistant,
Richard White, guarded the town and
country homes of William Rockefeller
today in an endeavor to serve Mr..
Rockefeller with a subpoena to testify
before the Pujo money trust investigat-
ing committee in Washington.
At Mr.. Rockefeller's town house at
$50 Fifth avenue the detectives divided
their activities by watching the adjoin-
ing mansions. The houses thanking the
Rockefeller mansion on both sides are
occupied by sons-in-law of the oil mag
nate and the three are known to be
connected by secret passageways
report was current in the morning
that the much wanted witness was
safely secluded upon his great country
estate at Tarrytown, but detectives on
guard there reported that Rockefeller
had not been seen.
"RockefeIIer vs. Nation"
1T is now a question" said Mr.. Rid
dell. whether Mr.. Rockefeller is a big
ger man than the United States. 1t
seems to me that it should not be pos
FIble for one man to set the government
NJ this great republic at defiance. More
over, If Mr.. Rockefeller eventually es-
capes service the power and authority
II the national house Of representatives
will fall into disrepute and it will be
difficult for US to get service on any
one in the future"
The detectives and deputy sergeant

In addition TO putting guards about

men in the courtyaSds of the St Regis

IT have over twenty men with me
alone and think we ought to get Mr.

need be can get twenty thousand here
at moments notice. If twenty thou
sand are not enough, can call out the
entire standing army of the United
States. And we will get Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter. even If we do have to call out the
army. Our man is not going to beat
the government just because he is a
millionaire. We have orders to
serve Mr.. Rockefeller. and we are going
10 have him within IS hours. But it is
o serious matter. 1t is no joke
No siege Of rockbound castle ever

What the Copy Boy Wrote.


Representative Dan Anthony Of
Kansas, publisher of the L~eavenworth
Times, once had an Office boy who
yearned to know how to use a type
writer-which accomplishment, the
boy figured, would make him a regular
reporter.
Anthony turned an old broken-down
machine over to him, says the Wash
ington Herald, and babe him learn to
run it.
"Whatn l writer" the boy asked.
ooh, just take some sentence, any
sentence at ALL" Anthony told him,
land see how long 1t will take you to
fill a page with it."
The boy set to work. An hour or
two later Anthony CHANGED to notice
the page On which the lad had been
working. From top to bottom OF the
sheet, and from margin to margin, the
boy had written one sentence over and
over again until there was scarcely q
white spot visible on the paper. The
sentence the boy had selected to prac-
tice with was: Who the - invent.
