TEE THEATER
STOP THIEF

How would you feel II every time
valuable piece OF Jewelry or some
equally expensive article missing in
the household was found in your pos
session. Or il not found. you were
subjected 10 interrosative looks and
insinuating remarks from the mem
bers OF your family?
In time you would become hypno-
tized into the belief that you really
were an absent-minded creature who
lifted" thinsg much as one walks in
his sleep unconsclously.
II. then. they disappeared as rapid
ly from your pockets as they appeared
there. would you not come TO have an
uncanny feeling similar 10 that ex-
perienced by even a skeptic at a
sceance?
This is what happens in stop
Thief the new farce which Cohan a.
Harris company OF comedians are go
ing TO reveal TO us at the Court the
atre tomorrow night.
The real rogue whisks things in and
out OF peoples pockets as he needs TO
establish alibis. or finds that ne him
self can get away with them. and the
Kaleidoscope mixup that furnishes
one OF the funniest plays seen in re-
cent years.
The action in stop Thief is so
rapid. Il is said. that ones breath is
caught in the effort TO keep up with
the plot. and through II all there Is
an air OF probability that makes the
characters natural.
stop Thief is not an unknown
quantity. The farce was presented TO
crowded houses all last season at the
Gaiety theatre. New York city. where
IL established pace for laughter that
has not been equalled by any play
produced on Manhattan Island in re-
cent seasons.
Seats are now on sale

WASHINGTON, July 17.-Today's
hearing in the lobby investigation
helped TO boost the candidacy of
Archibald Hart, who. Is running for
congress In the Sixth New Jersey dis
trict. where a by-eiection will be held
next Tuesday.
The senate committee advanced
more than two years in the chrome
logical order Of the Mulhail CORE
spondenee in order to dig up evidence
OF the intimate relation which had
existed In the 1910 campaign between
the National Association of Manufac-
turers and s. Wood McClave. then, as
now. the Republican candidate for
congress in the Sixth New Jersey dis
tr.ct
Reed said he thought that in pre-
senting the McClave correspondence
ne would give the n. A. NJ. something
they could not deny.
Wanted Bills Paid.
Subsequent to the campaign OF 1910
when Senator Hughes then a candi-
date for the house, defeated Mr.. Nc
Ciave. there were few bills left
over for campaign expenses. Accom-
panying these bills were letters from
the Office Of Mr.. McClave at Nc. !
Madison avenue. New York. In which
the writer told Colonel Mulhaii thai
his funds were depleted by the ex-
penses Of the election. and he sug-
eested that as these bills had been
incurred at the suggestion OF Colbnel
Mulhall. the n. A. NJ. should meet
them for him. Colonel Muihall was
examined I'm regard 10 the eXpendI-
lures In McClave's district.
He said:
THE National Association Of Manu-
facturers spent $4,000 of Its money in
the effort to elect MIR. Mctiaves There
was also spent sa,oo0 ny Mr.. Bar
Der. of New York, manufacturer.
who had silk mill interests In Pater-
son I don't believe McCiave spent a
penny of his own money"
This matter having been aired. the
regular order OF the examination of
Colonel Mulhall was resumed. The
days examination Of Mulhall cores
pondence included number of eiab-
crate reviews OF political conditions
during the season Immediately proceed
ing the Chicago convention of zoos.
which nominated Mr.. Taft. There was
a tendency throughout this correspon
