SENIOR CLASS PLAY

Nothing in connection with the
yearly commencement exercises of the
high school graduating classes at
tracts more favorable attention than
the senior class play. This years
class arranged with Charles Froh-
man, Americas greatest theatrical
producer, for the production of one of
his best plays, "The Dictator, by
the indispensable Richard Harding
Davis. This is the comedy in which
the famous Willie Collier
starred short time ago. No more
can be said in behalf of a play than
to associate the authorship with
Richard Harding Davis, the produc'
ton with Charles Frohman and the
acting with William Collier. The
play, written in the inimitable
style of Richard Harding Davis,
deals With the adventures of two
young New Workers in the midst of
one of the frequent revolutions in
Central America. Escaping from
New York because they were suspect
ed in connectionSwith the mysterious
death of a cabman there, boarding
the first boat that sails, they find
themselves bound for Porto Banos,
Central America. Upon arrival they
find the country in the midst of one
ofits many revolutions. By very
tactful moves they represent them
selves as members of the American
Consulate and for time escape but
are finally discovered. They bribe
the guards, buy an army and establish
themselves as dictators of the country.
During the course of these sdven-
lures they are thrown into all sorts of
comical and complex situations, from
which they escape by clever moves
that keep the audience in laughter.
A love affair in which a beautiful
Sonora plays an important part adds
spice to the plot.
The date of the play is Tuesday
and Wednesday, June 10th and 18th
and the reserved seat sale opens Wed
nesday, June 4th, at Barringer's Drug
store.

HUMAN FLY ON skYRockET
Operator Escapes With Few Hurts
After Explosion In New York.

New York, March IA steel rock
ct containing Rodman Law, the "hu-
man fly" in which he intended to be
shot $500 feet into the air, descend
ing by a parachute, exploded yester-
day afternoon when 800 pounds OF
powder behind it was fired. Law was
hurled % feet from his seat in the
rocket but was unhurt,
Protected by padding and helmet
Law crawled into the rocket with his
parachute and gave the order to fire.
The fuse was lighted and spluttered
for 80 seconds There was burst OF
flame. a cloud of smoke and a terrific
report. Hundreds of spectators,
straining their eyes for sight of the
great rocket, hurting through the air,
saw it leap forward few feet and
burst into fragments.
Law was hurled violently through
the air and to the ground. His hair
and eyebrows were burned off. For
perhaps 10 seconds he was unconsci-
Gus Then he got up and looked
around. Darn that thing" he ex-
claimed, 81 thought | was going up"
Panic spread among the spectators
Immediately after the explosion. 1t
seemed inconceivable that Law could
have escaped being blown to bits, and
several women became hysterical.
When those who were managing the
exploit reached the scene they were
surprised to find Law struggling on
the ground in the midst of the burn
ing framework of the rocket. His
miraculous escape was explained by
the fact that the head of the rocket
on which he stood shoulder high in
a hollow extension, was made of an
extra thickness of steel. The rest of
the rocket, six feet in length and 22
feet in diameter was blown to atoms.
Law walked unassisted to nearby
house to have his burns dressed. He
declared that he would make a sec
ond attempt as soon as another
rocket could be constructed by the
moving picture interests which en-
ployed him.

JERSEY CITY CLERGY OPEN
WAR ON KING BACCHUS
Delegation Insists Commission
ers Must Enforce Law and
Close Saloons Sundays.

A delegation OF 800 citizens Of Jersey
CITY. including priests and ministers.
visited the City Hall last night for an
audience with the five commissioners, to
ascertain why the Sunday law was not
enforced and the saloons closed. and
whether it was the intention of the Police
Department to permit the saloons to do
business on the Sabbath Some of the
speakers limited at a recall il there were
not a more satisfactory enforcement OF
the law.
Commissioner Hague, in defending the
police, said an order had been issued 10
close the saloons, and that there was a
decided betterment of conditions last Sun
day He admitted some saloons might be
doing business secretly, in guarded rooms
10 which only friends of the owners are
admitted. He declared the police were
gradually improving conditions and would
Ultimately succeed in closing all the
saloons
Some Of the delegation insisted omen
house was the rule and that the doors
Of many places were open to any one who
desired to enter. The speakers held TN,
law must be enforced.
The saloon question is a source Of wor.
riment to the commissioners, as there is
a strong sentiment in favor of Sunday
selling and many saloonkeepers declar,
I that if deprived of Sunday traffic they
| will be forced to abandon the business.

EXPECT MORE DISCLOSURES
Bankers Think Mellen' s Attack
Is ONLY the First.

The idea prevailed in financial circles
Yesterday that the attack of Charles
S. Mellen against J. p. Morgan & Co
and Boston bankers for the New Haven
road. printed in THE Boston POST Sun
dav, was only the beginning of series
Of disclosures that would involve the
financial interests in control OF the
property. A member OF the Morgan firm
denied emphatically that contest be-
tween the New York and Boston bankers
had in any way contributed to the diff
cultes of the road.
THE idea is preposterous, he asserted
There never has been any fight between
the New York bankers and the Boston
bankers at all. Their relations have al
WAYS been of the friendliest and most
harmonious nature. Mr.. Meilen is Just
Yelling his head off If he says that a
fight between bankers caused any Vou-
