DRAGGING FOR BODIES.
One of the Men on the lll-Fated Mo-
tOrboat Lotus Admits it Was
Not Provided With Lights.

A golden-haired baby girl last
night sobbed for hours for her moth
cr, Mrs. Bessie Haller, one OF the two
young women who went down on the
launch "Lotus" which was smashed
to splinters near this city, Sunday
night, in the collision with the excur-
sion steamer Angler.
Two crews Of three men each were
sent out from the HarkAr precinct
of Washington yesterday morning to
drag for the bodies of Mrs. Hallcr
and her companion, Mrs. Sarah Neil
son. The police pursued their work
until night without pasuing even for
meals, but their search was without
reward. After covering more than
1000 feet they abandoned their ef-
forts. At midnight another crew
continued their work this morning
continued the dragging. They re-
sumed their work this morning.
George w. Haller and Claude Neil
son, husbands of the young women,
it is alleged, had determined to sue
for divorces. Haller had placed his
case in the hands of an attorney, and
the papers had been prepared for
filing yesterday.
Lieut.. Dean had all five of the
young men who were upon the launch
at the time of the collision report at
the Harbor precinct yesterday for eX-
animation. The police report that
this examination brought from one of
the witnesses the fact that there
were no lights upon the launch, and
that the craft was not even equipped
with facilities for lights. The young
men, however, held to the account as
to the manner in which they had met
the young women. They declared that
they had never seen the women until
they were asked to bring them up the
river.
Neither body had been recovered up
to the time the Gazette went to press.

FIRST BAPTIST CONCERT.
Great Interest Being Shown in Mus
icale to Be Given Next Tuesday
by Congregational Quartet.

Great interest is being shown in
the coming Concert to be given by
the ouartette of the Congregational
Church, Washington, for the benefit of
the First Baptist Sunday School, this
city. The program for the first part
consists of the tenor solo 'Lend Me
Your Aid" from the "Queen of Sheba,"
by Mr.. Kenneth Ogden, which will be
followed by contralto selection,
"Lieti Signor" Noble Knights) from
"Les Hugenots," by Miss Edna Scott
Smith. Mr.. Edwin Callow, the hu-
morous reader, will do an eNtraor-
binary dialect story, after which Mrs.
Ethelyn M. Stuart will give Ocean!
Thou Mighty Monster!" describing the
scene and aria from "Oberon." Mr..
William Wall Whiddit, assisting the
quartette, will sing "Saive! Dimora
Casta E Pura" (All Hail, Thou Dwell
ing Pure and Holy) from Faust"
Owing to the very heavy work for
Mr.. J. Walter Humphrey in the rem
dition of the Garden Of Kama"
which work will compose the entire
second half of the program, he will
not be heard in solo work in the first
half. He, however, will give two
very heavy numbers in the song cy-
Gle.
In the work for Mrs. Smart and
Mr.. Ogden there will be found con-
siderable dramatic opportunities, and
the rendition of Miss Smiths selcc-
ton will be in the Italian version.
Mrs. Whiddit will accompany Mr.
Whiddit in his work from "Faust."
Mr.. Callow's second appearance
will conclude the first half of the ev-
ening's program.
The unusually large sale of tickets
is very gratifying to the parties hay
ing the concert in charge, and one
of the best concerts OF the season is
assured.

FINED FIFTY DOLLARS EACH

The annual custom of citing GER
tain women to apear in Police Court
and answer the charge of selling liqu-
or without license or conducting dis
orderly houses was in evidence again
this morning.
Six white women, who had been or
dered to appear left $50 collateral
each. They failed to answer to their
names when the cases were called and
forfeited their deposits. Two colored
women. who had also been cited to ap-
pear were on hand. They had inticl-
patcd the procedure and brought $50
each. When the judgment of the
court was announced they paid these
amounts, mostly in dollar bills and
silver. Another colored woman who
was fined $50 for similar offense was
dismissed.

SHAkESPERIAN DRAMAS
Treat in Store for AleXandrians Next
Thursday BY McEntee-EvisOn
Company.

The immortal William Shakespear
will speak to us again on Thursday,
matinee and night, at the Opera House
through the lips of the McEnteeEv-
ison Company. This organization is
substantially the same as the Ben
Greet Players. Mr. McEntee acted in
leading capacity with Mr.. Greet for
many years, and was also general
manager of that famous organizat-
ion. Mr.. Greet has retired for a time,
and Mr.. McEntee is pushing the work
SO instituted. He was fortunate en-
ough to secure the services of pract-
ically all of the previous organization.
Besides Mr. McEntee and Miss Evison,
who lead the company, there are %
artists, great number of whom are
nationally known.
Leonard Shepherd was with Mrs.
Fiske last season, succeeding Hol
brook Blinn. John S. O'Brien played
Mason, the little role in "The Servant
in the House" for two seasons past.
Augusta True has been a bulwark of
the Greet Company for two years and
previously played the leading role in
the Virginian, and was featured as
Desdemona in Othello. Miss Helen
Head came to this country with the or
iginal Everyman Company under Mr..
Greet's management, and later joined
E. H. Sothcrn with whom she played
leading business for several years.
Miss Evison's inimitable portrayals of
Puck, Ariel Ophelia and Juliet have
brought her into conspicuous posi-
tion in the theatrical armament. Mr..
McEntee, the sponsor, has been ac-
claimed by New York's conservative
dramatic reviewers as the legitimate
successor of Z. H. Sothern and Robert
Mantell. He is still a comparatively
young man, possessed of eXtraordi
nary sensibilities and keen percept
ion of the psychological aspect of the
great bard's plays. He is rare COM
bination of scholar and actor, type
this country is SO greatly in need of,
and who are doing so much to plact
the stage on a plane equal to the other
arts.
At the matinee at $3.50 o'clock "The
Merchant of Venice" will be given,

MANY TRAMPLED TO DEATH.
Cinematograph Over Doors Which
Swung Inward-Spark Sets Fire to
Film and Wild Panic Follows.

Madrid, May 2S.---Today's advices
from Villa Real, in Castcllon province
add to the magnitude Of the holocost
that accompanied the burning there
last night Of moveing picture house
1t is known that 103 persons burned
to death, most of them women and
children, and that many of the in
! iured will die. SO serious is the cal
amity to the little village that nurses
and doctors were asked for and sent
from Castellon city.
The theatre was only recently open
ed and, in addition to being construct
ed only of wood, had very few exits
excepting the main entrance. The
cinematograph was installed on plat
form directly over the entrance, while
the doors swung in ward instead of
outward. The house was crowded,
the audience being made up almost
entirely of women and children of ten
der years when something went wrong
with the picture machine.
A spark of fire to a film, and the in
fammable celluloid blaZcd upward in
flash, setting fire to the entrance
doors.
There was wild panic Immediately
and the audience broke for the FAM
ing exits. Weaker women and little
children were knocked down and
trampled on. Only. one of the doors
could be swung open, the other being
held tight by the struggling mass Of
people who were pressed upon them
by the greater crowd in the aisles.
a few cooler heads managed to
throw open the windows and in this
way many were led to safety. The
town had no hremen, but the majority
of the males who arrived on the scene
got on the work to the doors with axes
and after breaking them down manag
ed to get a few persons out before be-
ing driven back by the rapidly spread
ing flames.
Il was not until, today that the
ruins had cooled sufficiently to per-
nit the search for bodies. Eighty
three were taken from the pile Of char
red forums, covered with debris at
the main doorway while the other bod
les were taken from various parts OF
the auditorium.
The disaster has caused mourning
throughout the entire province and
the governor of Castellon wired today
that he has already ordered careful
investigation to place the RESPONSE
bility.

CUBAN REBELLION
OVEREST|M|ATED.
People From Havana Amazed at War
Preparations of United
States.
INTERVENTION UNWARRANTED
1nsurrection Said to Be Regarded as
4 Jokc-Only Eight Hundred Ne
groesin Arms Against Government.

New York, May 2s.---Passengcrs
in from HAVANA, on the steamship
Mexico, which left Havana last Friday
professed today to be amazed over
the war preparations being made by
the United States in the so-called
Cuban revolution. They declared that
the rebellion in the island had been
woefully over-estimated and that the
talk of American Intervention was un-
warranted b. the facts.
They intimated that the interven-
ton agitation could easily be traced
to certain financial circles in this city
and London.
"In Cuba this revolution is looked
on as a joke" declared Antonio Rey,
an official of Cuban government at
Havana. "There are only about 500
negrot2 in arms against the govern
ment. There has been no real fight
ing, especially as the insurgents are
not very well armed and will have to
keep going when the troops get after
them.
Washington, May 2S.---Despite Pres
ident Taft's assurance to President
Gomez Of Cuba, that the movement of
naval vessels to Key West and prep
arations to hold the army in readiness
to go to the island, government Off
cials are convinced today that they act
ed none too soon in their campaign
of precaution. Quite an unpleasant
impression was created here today by
the report that coffee plantation be-
longing to German citizen and locat-
ed ten miles west of Santiago, had
been destroyed by negro rebels. 1t
is reported that the German has made
a protest to the German cOunsu at
Santiago, who in turn will probably
report the matter to the German fore
IGN Office and to the German am5assa-
dor to the u. S.

ELECTION DAY
\ NEW JERSEY.
Believe Roosevelt Will Defeat Taft
for State Republican Pref
erenCe
NO OPPOSITION TO WILSON.
Polls to Close at Nine O'clock To-
night-Returns Will Not Be Made
Known Until After Midnight.

Newark, N. j., May 2S.-When the
polls opened at l o'clock this afternoon
for the presidential preference pri-
mary and the direct election Of the
delegates and alternates to the Chi
cago and Baltimore conventions, the
general impression among astute par
ty men was that Col. Roosevelt would
defeat President Taft, for the State
Republican preferences and that the
+, Chicago state delegation would be div
ided.
Woodrow Wilson, has no opposition
on the preference ballot, SO his sue
cess is assured and it was admitted by
his oponents that he would probably
carry nearly every Congressional dis
trict in the state for the Baltimore de-
legates. Because of this the interest
was generally conferree to the Repub-
lican candidate. The polls will not
close until 8 o'clock tonight, and it
was certain that the returns would
be delayed until after midnight
Both the Roosevelt and the Taft
men insisted today that they. would
sweep the state. Impartial observers
who claimed to have analysed the reg
istration and to have a good line on
the rank and file of the voters, said
that the president would have at least
s and possible 12 of the "a delegates,
and carry the two districts that are
in doubt. The Roosevelt forces en-
pect to have the four delegates-at-
large and while the Taft leaders re-
fuse to concede them, they admit that
the result will be close.
Senator LaFollette, the political ex-
perts here say, although ne may take
a storm canvass of the state, will
prove comparatively negligible fac
tor in the results today.
The weather was made to order
for the primaries. Warm, clear at
mOSpnerlC CoilulIIollS WIZ ~ w
result in heavy vote. In the Nor
thern and central sections it was eX-
pected the vote would be light until
nightfall when the committed vote
would be recorded.
Just before the polls opened Frank
lin Murphy, one of the Taft delegates
at-large, declared that the president
would have twenty of the "a delegates
and the four delegates-at-large. 10
offset that claim Everett Colby calm
" announced that his information
"proved conclusively" that the Colonel
would annex the entire state delega-
ton at Chicago.

1t is not often that the Ga

charitable minded public of AL
eXandria, but case has been
brought to our attention that
we think so worthy of help that
we will present it to our readers
in the hope that they may feel
interested enough to contribute
small sum to the worthy
cause. A few weeks ago one of
the children who has been in the
this appeal is written, and
helped to take care Of so many
homeless ones, a bright little
boy of six years, had a serious
fal from window which discol-
ated one of his hips and made
him a cripple. The doctors who
examined him stated that tan op-
GRAFTON would be required
if the child would ever be able
to walk again. 1t has been nee
essary to send the little fellow
to the Children's Hospital,
in Washington where he will he
compelled to remain at least
six months before a permanent
cure is effected. The cost Of
his board and attendance at the
hospital is s. a week, a total of
S130 for the six months. This
sum, while it may seem small,
absolutely means the difference
between helpless crippled man
and a sound one, who will
have the opportunity of taking
care of himself.
1t is for this little one that
the Childrens Home, which has
we feel confident that the char
liable inclined people of Alex
andria will not let a child be
cripple for life when this small
sum will bring about his restor-
alton to the full use of his
limbs.
Contributions for any amount
will be most gratefully receiv-
ed and may be sent to Mrs.
Muench at the Childrens Home,
406 Duke street, or to the Alex
andria Gazette which will be
pleased to acknowledge same.
