Charles E. Chadsey, superintendent

accommodations for defective boys

institution In Lapeer for weak-minded
Is over-crowded. and that room is
needed right now for upwards OF 600
detectives In Detroit and vicinity. He
declared that II was great mistake

Statistics, he said, showed that Grim
inal and immorl classes were made up
to a large extent by persons OF weak
minds.
With a place 10 houset he defect
tives, there would be less likelihood OF
their becoming criminals and other
wise bad, he stated. He asked the
ministers TO do what they could TO
bring about a proper system OF segre-
CATION In behalf OF the detectives. The
need OF such accommodations was par
ticnlarly manifest in the schools. Mr.
Chadsey said, II having been found
necessary within the recent past to
exclude some defective children, be-
cause OF their backward condition.
These could be properly cared for IN
an institution, he pointed out.
Miss Mae L. Ccryderman, OF the
Association OF College alumnae, asked
the pastors to make some reference,
next Sunday, to the need of better
conditions in regard TO child labor.
She said that at present the laws are
not broad enough to give ample pro-

who had to work for a living.
The pastors agreed TO give the mat

oAYETY.

Found: In the Gayety theater,
Sunday afternoon, one clever bur
lesque show.
Only the city editor. who knows
what a ho-hum sort of job he hands
out when he slips the tickets across
for the merry-merry houses. week al
ter week, knows what sort OF sigh
goes with them words"
The Dazzlers" Is the title OF the
company. and the Burlesque Oper
ating company gets the credit. Who
ever decided that burlesque needed
an operation, evidently hit the nail on
the head.
Cleverly acted and cleverly staged
in style that is looked for-and not
always found--in musical comedy,
the show breezes along in snappy
style, with real hnmor cropping out
most astonishingly and with some
good character bits by some regular
actors.
And the chorus Is sprightly, and
above the average In looks, fitting
into the general idea, and into their
variegated costumes, In quite com
mendable fashion.
Even the program is a cute little
thing calculated TO make one opti-
mistic about burlesque.
AS to special mentions. they are
all good.
II you like buriesque-and even II
you don't--this show is well worth
while.

trymen false promises which he had
no intention Of fulfilling"
He also felt that Madero's overthrow
was sure to come, he often said, be

cans, which the aged veteran said was
his chief reproach against his people.
He had TO work against that same
fiokleness himself, he said, and knew
with what difficulties Madero had 10

II Is believed by his friends here
that Porfirio Diaz's money brought
about the liberation OF Felix Diaz from

revolt OF the federal troops. They pro

Trevtno Picked as
Madero's Successor

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 10.-In pre-
dieting long reign OF disorder be-
fore this seething country settles
down to normal inactivity. those
familiar with the situation today
were interested mainly In q discus-
zion OF the men likely to play the
most prominent parts in national az
fairs, should the revolt against
Madero force him from the presi-
dency.
The first result OF the overthrow
OF the Madero regime would be the
establishment by the rebels Of a
military dictatorship. The man upon
whom the concensus OF opinion ap-
parently settles as the most likely
Ichoice OF the military dictator is Gen.
the third military district with head
quarters at Monterey.
It IL acknowledged. however, that
there are many other men who must
be considered, IL only for the reason
that they are capable OF making
Trouble for any government that does
not take pains to please them. These
arc men, of the type OF Pascual Oroz
co, Antonio Rojas. Ynez Salazar, and
Emilio Campa-revolutionar leaders
who have kept the fame OF rebellion
burning In every state in northern
Mexico, and whose activities In tie
regions OF Washington and othHr
foreign capitals have caused the In
ltervention OF the United States an
iinyessant possibility. In the south
there is Zapata. the unconquered
rebel chief whose bloodthirsty band
has been lighting for five years with
out letup. Should Zapata choose to
align himself with any of the north
ern rebels named, the combination
would be strong enough to upset any
dictatorship established by the army.
General Felix Diaz. whose name
alone Is enough TO conjure with, and
whose spectacular liberation from
prison and participation in the as
slult on the palace has brought him
into the brightest glare of the polltl-
cal and military limelight, is not con-
s'dered seriously by acute observers
OF Mexican affairs.
Felix Diaz Is believed to have In
herited little OF the family charat
teris,ics OF his iron-handed uncle. His
capture at Vera Cruz last October by
mere handful OF men and without
n show OF resistance from his 1000
troops IL remembered by the army
and there Is thought to be little
chance that the military would choose
him as national dictator.

THE STAGE
LYcEuM.

-
Thurston, the leader in the ever
interesting field OF magic. opened a
weeks engagement In the Lyceum
theater. Sunday afternoon, and his
array of mystifying tricks and illu-
sions Is quite as battling as ever.
Several new illusions have been
added TO Thurston's repertoire this
season, among them the haunted win
dow, in house constructed on the
stage in the full view OF the audience
which Ia mysteriously filled by three
or four members OF the company who
appear FIRST as shadows and later as
real live folk
The deviation OF the Princess Kar-
mac, in which Miss Foster, who assists
Thurston In his feats OF magic, is sus-
pended In midair remains his greatest
achievement, and It seems to verge
on the supernatural.
The automobile mystery In which
the participants change places too
rapidly for the audience 70 keep track
OF them though they are In full sight
all the time, the lady and the lion
trick. in which Miss Foster changes
places with real live hungry lion
and number of interesting cabinet
tricks, are also clever illusions.
There Is plenty of fun In the pro
gram. too, the assistants who come
up from the audience finding things
very mysterious on the stage.
The Hamid troupe OF Arabs did
some acrobatlc stunts while Thurston
was resting.
Thurston will appear In the Ly-
ceum theater all week with the usual
matinees. On Wednesday afternoon
every lady In the audience will be
given a mystic horoscope Of her life
by Thurston.

The fighting courage OF Madero has

held there until after the election, at
which Diazs'swas iunanimously re-

Then came Madero's declaration OF
