CHARLEY HART GOES
BIG WHERE MCINTYRE

Haven't you heard of it? All
the New York theatrical papers
are telling it from cables they have
received, that Mcintyre and
Heath, the famous and popular
American blackface comedians,
are now out of the program at the
Hippodrome at London, England.
Engaged for four weeks, the team
played but one, when the manage
ment settled their contract by pay
ing them for three weeks.
The English people did not take
to the acts offered, THE Georgia
Minstrels" and Waiting at the
Church."
Mcintyre and Heath received a
bad start at the Hippodrome at the
opening matinee, June 30, with
the first named piece. Changing
later to the other almost as we'll
known skit in their repertoire, they
could not DO much better.

NAPIER RESIGNS AS

Washington. ID. c., July 23.-
Because the Treasury Department
instructed him to issue an order
calling for the use of separate
toilets by his white and colored
clerks, James @. Napier has ten
dered his recognition as Register
of the Treasury.
Mr.. Napier resigned as register
last week, immediate after the
Treasury Department ordered him
to introduce Jim Grow" methods
in his office, Mr.. Napier is receiv-
ing the congratulations of scores of
admirers. There is no one in pub

that actions speak louder than

show the assistant secretary why
there should be no "Jim Growing
in his office, but as Williams comes
from Virginia he refused to rescind
the order.
Upon finding that he would have

Mr.. Napier rendered his resigna-
ton.

FIVE SENATOR'S KICK
ON NEGRO APPOINTEE

Washington, July 81 Presi-
dent Wilson may find it necessary
to withdraw the nomination of
Adam E. Patterson, the Oklahoma
Negro lawyer nominated for regis
ter of the treasury. Five senator's,
it is said tonight, will oppose Pat.
terson's continuation, and others
are mentioned as likely to join in
the protest against him. The five
are Senators Vardaman and Will
Jams of Mississippi, Smith of
Georgia and Shield and Lea of
Tennessee, from whose state the
present incumbent, j. G. Napier,
halls.
Napier was appointed as a Re-
publican, SO the Tennessee sena-
tors cannot be opposing Patterson
in behalf of Napier. 1t is merely
a question of color with these
Southern gentlemen, who are op-
posed to placing a Negro in a high
place which can be filled by a good
white Democrat.
Senator Tillman and Smith of
South Carolina are two more sen.
ators who are expected to join the
opposition, which is, of course, led
by Vardaman, Senator Owen did
not indorse Patterson, but his col
league. Senator Gore, was the ori-
ginal Wilson man in Oklahoma
and seems to be pulling down the
patronage plums with remarkable
regularity while Senator Owen is
working day and night for the
pre- sident's currency programme.
The Patterson nomination was
referred TO the Committee on FL
nance, of which Senator Stone of
Missouri is member.

Mcintyre and Heath were to re-

and for what?
The above will give you faint
idea of what has always been the
case whenever a colored act APP
pears on a bill similar white
acts, especially where prejudice
does not exist. We are al
waysssar better and deserve all
praise and mention of it. Many
of these headliners are mere noth-
ing and should be cancelled where
the colored act should head the
bill. Look at New York today. in
vaudeville. Our colored acts are
SO far ahead of the white ones and
they stand out so big on a pro-
gram there that the best way to
stop the colored team from over
shading the whites is to keep them
out Of the big houses. And they
did successfully.- Freeman.

The famous Pekin Theatre, the
first legitimate colored playhouse
in America. was sold this week to
George Holt, proprietor of the
Brunswick Hotel. The purchase
price was in the neighborhood of
$50, 900. The present occupants
have a ten-year lease at a high rem
tai, so Mr.. Holt should worry.
The public is deeply indebted to
the late Bobert r. Motifs, who
erected this playhouse that his peo-
pie have chance to display their
talent along dramatic lines. The
original stock company are scat
tered throughout the world, and

Robbed of Jewels valued at $4,000

shop" appeared crazed for hours,
and is verging on collapse. The
robbery was reported to the police
and detectives were assigned to
the case, but no trace of missing
jewels has been found. Schaefer
told the police in his coherent
moments that he left his home
with the jewels in a packet in his
pocket, and after calling on pat
ron, visited the Boardwalk. He
participated in bowling game,
laying the coat containing the jew
elry aside, and did not discover his
loss until he had returned to his

FOR KNIGHTS
TEMPLAR
CONCLAVE

this event. On each side of the
Daniels and Fishers tower will be
seen huge cross in electrical dis
play, which seems to indicate the
hope of the Knights in the Cross
as their watch towers are placed
ON the poles at each corner on Six
teenth street from Cleveland
Place to Larimer street, at such
distances, that the Knight is COM
PEELED to look upwards to the
Cross of Light.
Then comes the figure of a
mounted knight, ornamenting the
roof of the Denver Dry Goods
store. This will be one of the larg-
est electrical displays to be shown
as it is about fifty-five feet high
and fifty-four feet wide. There
are 1900 lamps used in this fig
ure, which will afford exceptional
brilliancy. Two of the largest
searchlights in the world will be
placed on the Foster building. 1t
is estimated that their rays can
be thrown a distance of nearly fif-
yt-five miles. See the great amphi-
theater with it's seating capacity
of 10000, with it's powerful tung-
stem lights over the grounds prop
er and its variety of colored in
candescent lights over the stand,
strikingly reminding us of the
Coliseum at Rome, one of the
largest amphitheaters of the world,
accommodating $1,000 spectators.
Then mingled with such good
feastings for the eye will be
poured. forth the sweet peals of
music from fifty-six bands at diff
ferent times. Sometimes delicate
strains waiting on the atmos-
phere, another time martial music
from the combined bands coming
with crash as if a number of
meteors were fallen from their
ethereal position, and coming in
contact with other objects would
seem to demolish them.
o, gentle readers, don't miss
this event Of the conclave. Enter
into it with the true spirit of a
Denver citizen and let us demon
strate that we are in the march of
progress and our slogan is con
ward"
In our next issue we will give a
full account of the proceedings,
day by day, so that our subscrib-
ers will be thoroughly acquainted
with them.
The Colorado statesman., 1913-08-01

Some of our readers have asked
why we have devoted time and
given space in our columns to the
forthcoming event of the knights,
and we take very great pleasure
in giving them the reply herein
Because, first, as citizens OF Den
yer, a city which is engaging pub
lie attention in a particular form
from the wonderful and rapid
strides it is making, we should ac-
uuiesce to the requests made by
this great and noble body OF men
who are putting forth every eff
fort to place our city on a higher
plane, thereby attaining better
commercial and social interests,
within not only our circumscribed
sphere of the state of Colorado,
but the whole country and the
world at large; and secondly; that
we are an integral part of the or
der in general, as in our very
midst we have the Hiram Com
mandery, consisting Of nearly fif-
ty of our well-respected citizens
under the jurisdiction of the
Grand Commandery of Illinois
who remind us once year OF the
historic Knights in their annual
service. Why should we not there
fore, keep before us the requests
for decorating our homes and en-
sharing in the hospitality to be
meted out to these visitors when
the local committee out of its
generosity is offering prizes for
the best decorated homes, etc.
Let us, therefore, rise to the oc-
casion and do all that lies in our
power to add to this grand spec
tacle which will be unprecedented

pace for our larger cities to fol-

Added attractions are III evil
dence on all sides, and it seems
that with each succeeding day the
eye comes in contact with some
new feature, compelling one to
think that the financial resources
are unlimited and apparently
there will be no end to decora-
tions.
In our last issue we gave some
of the principal attractions and in
this we cannot refrain from pub
fishing few more which will, we
are sure, delight our readers,

MANS SKELETON
FOUND IN HOLE
Thought To Have Been That of John
Erickson, Who Disappeared from
Dorset Last Summer

Dandy, Jan. 2g.-Charles Rent and
Joel Boardman of Landgrove yesterday
discovered while fox hunting mans
skeleton, which is supposed to be that
OF John Erickson. a Swede formerly em-
ployed by the Norcross- West Marble Co.
at Dorset, who disappeared early last
summer. Their hound found the bones.
which are in crevasse in some rocks,
II feet deep, the slope of the rocky
sides and position OF the skeleton show
ing that the man probably fell in while
alive and became wedged so that he
could not extricate himself. The bones
had been gnawed by hedgehogs and
wood mice. There was nothing with it
to identify the man. the clothing having
been chewed beyond recognition
Mr.. Erickson moved away from Dorset
about two years ago and had lived in
Landgrove only fcw months when he
failed to appear at his customary time
for meal at the house where he board
ed This led to search, as he was 82
years old and in poor health, and it was
feared that he had become suddenly i'll
while out walking. He had no money
of any consequence nor other yaluables,
which would lead to the belief that he
was not murdered for the purpose of
robbery, and the supposition is that he
fell into the hole accidentally, as there
are many bushes growing over the rocks
and the foliage probably obscured the
opening Of the creyasse
Nothing is known about the mans rel
atives, 50 Poormaster f. A. Rush will
