CHORUS GIRLS BARRED
None Under Twenty-One Can Appear
in Pennsylvania.

Philadelphia, Oct. 30.-The bald head
ed row in theaters throughout Penn
sylvania will be deserted after next
Saturday night.
The chickens will disappear from
all theatrical companies and in their
places will appear women of 21 years
of age or more, all of which is brought
about through the new lawawhich be-
comes effective and regulates the hours
during which women may work.
The wide sweeping effect of the law
did not become known until today
when several local theatrical managers
examined it to learn to their dismay
that women under q years of age are
prohibited from working after O'Clock
at night. The only exception to the
rule is in the case of telephone opera
tors who may work all night if they
have reached the age of Is.
Charles Cook Wanamaker, manager
of the Garrick theater, made the news
public.
Under this law he said, I'VE won't
be able to have any more choruses and
all the chickens may as we'll quit if
their companies expect to come into

COUNTING THE CASH.
Nine Men Are at Work in the Gov
ernment Subtreasury.

New York. Oct. s0.-About eighty
four tons of gold which lies in the
United States subtreasury in Wall
street, guarded night and day by a
small army of watchmen with a bat
terry of machine guns, is being count
ed by nine men sent over from the
treasury department at Washington
Between 2,5O0 and 5000 tons of
silver also is being counted, as well as
several million dollars in. bills. and
few tons of nickels and coppers.
The task was begun Tuesday and
will keep nine skilled men busy for
three weeks. At the end of that time
they are expected to inform Martin
Vogel, assistant United States treas
urer in charge of the New York cub
treasury, that he has S171,1O3, ,2SO12
of government funds in his keeping
If they should report one dollar more
or less than this amount, there would
be no rest until the cause of the dis
crepancy was discovered.
Mr.. Vogel took office on Monday
and became responsible for the money
in the vault. He is under 100000
bonds and will be required to give
receipt for the money on hand. Only

THINGS HAVE CHANGED
England May Yet Exhibit at the Pam
anna Exposition.

London, Oct. 30.-An influential
committee which will ask the British
government to reconsider its decision
in regard to participation in the Pan
ama-Pacific exposition was formed
here today by the heads of the great
steamship, commercial and manufac-
turing companies. The committee
points out that since the government
announced it's negative decision cir
cumstances have changed consider
ably and many of the large manufac-
turers have determined to take ad-
vantage of the improved tariff condi-
tions in the United States and send ex-
hibits to San Francisco.
The committee is nonpolitica1 Its
membership comprises such promi-
nent liberals as Lords Aberconway
and Cowdray and such well known
unionists as John S. Harmood-Banner,
Sir J. Fortescue Flannery and Sir
Charles Allen, as well as the chair
men of the Cunard, the White Star
ana the Allan lines; Sir Algernon
Freeman Firth, president of the aSso-
ciated chambers of commerce of the
United Kingdom; Stanley Machin,
vice president of the London chamber
of commerce; Marquis Graham, son of
the Duke of MontrOse, and representa-
tive manufacturers from all parts of
the United Kingdom. Information is
being gathered by the committee for
presentation to the government.

THE QUARTETTE.

The Strollers quartette furnished the
first number of the grade teachers lee
ture course at the high school auditor
ium last night. large audience SEEM
ed to enjoy the entertainment. But
neither program nor the singers came
up to advance notices in the opinion
of many who were present In the first
place a quartette show was advertised
and yet only three numbers were
given by the quartette. Bass and vio-
lin solos predominated. The comedy
was of the kindergarten order. Most
of the singing was of opera order.
Yet it may be hardly fair to criticise
this number as it was supposed to have
been one of the high class offerings
of the lyceum bureau and has made
reputation over the country Many
people prefer the program offered last
night to a real harmony program with
a pipe organ bass and a lyric tenor
and the old sweet songs of yesterday,
and many do not. So this criticism
may be taken as the protest against
the brindle fringe show and the tribute
to the old time melody programs still
given by many of the great quartettes
of this country. 1t is old-fashioned,
this fondness for the Annie Laurie and
Old Black Joe and Kentucky Home and
Silver Threads songs of other days, and
for the tenor who made your hair raise
with his barber shop minor and the
bass who wandered through the bowels
of the earth in the Bridge song. The
Parkhurst and Radcliffe courses fur
nish the high brow music and naturally
the common, simple. old-fashioned peo-
pie look to their old favorite quartette.
shows for the heart-music that they
love. The Strollers were doubtless high
class and all that-but, they were diff
ferent, somehow, from what a great

for last night. c. A. c.

Fraser river in washington having kill

The department of commerce announced
today that the fish loving American
public might expect a decided short

pronounces the slaughter of the fish

be seen three to five years hence when
the 1913 progeny come back to the river

How serious the outcome will be, can
only be surmised.
Livelihood of thousands of persons in

BIG OIL MERGER.
British Syndicate Enters the Field
Against the Standard.

San Francisco, Oct. 30.-The purchase
of two Independent oil companies in
California, the Union Oil company and
the Central Petroleum company, in
volving $110,O00,000, has been consum-
mated in London by Eugene De Sable,
it became known here today.
De Sable cabled that papers had been
signed whereby a British syndicate
headed by Andrew Weir will take over
both companies. The deal involves
more than $75,O0O,000 in stock and $780,
000,0 900 in cash.
The sale means that the Union Oil
company with its oil fields, its subsidi-
ary pipe line companies and it's fleet
of oil carrying steamers, barges and
sailing ships becomes merged in a Brit
ish concern.
The Union Oil company deal will be
made on a cash basis while the Gen.
erai Petroleum company will change
hands through an exchange of htock.
The control of Union Oil by the Ly
man Stewart family was obtained by
syndicate including De Sable at ap-
proximately $130 a share. Recently the
stock has been selling around $50
share.
Andrew Weir is at the head of An
drew Weir & Company, ship owners
of the United Kingdom.

MANY PITCHERS
More Than 100 Given Trials in
Western League.
DeS MOines Had Consistent
Staff-Few Graduate.

One hundred and four pitchers dis
ported themselves upon Western
League mounds during the season of
1913 These statistics are gathered from
the box scores, and refer only to pitch
ers who have taken part in champion
ship games. They do not include
number of youngsters who were given
tryouts in the spring before the big bat
tie was begun, 'and who were sent back
for further seasoning or turned loose
upon the bush leagues. Nor does it IN
cIude those signed during the season,
but released without a trial in a cham
pionship game.
From 200 to 250 players constitute the
number of men who appear on the sal
ary lists of the various Western League
magnates each year, and of this num-
ber the pitchers usually number nearly
90 per cent. This is due to the fact that
the managers find it less trouble to
round up fielding and catching talent
than to uncover men who can hold the
opposing clubs to low scores while men
bat out victory The number of catch
ers employed during the season runs
from 20 to 30, usually nearer the lat
ter figure.
The season developed number of
good pitchers, but most of them were
men who had previous experience in
the league. The steadiest staff, un-
doubtedly, is that of DeS MoineS. Had
Manager Jack Hendricks of Denver as
well rounded a group of pitchers as
Isbell he would have won so per cent
of his games with ease Hendricks owes
his success to the fact that he had two
high-grade men in Hagerman and
Wolfgang, and a club that wields the
swatstick with such success that the
other pitchers need not be anything ex-
traordinary.
Isbell, at Des Moines, went through
a h1rt III
pitching staff, and all but one of these
finishes on his payroll. In Rogge, Fa-
Der and Musser he has as good pitchers
as can be found in any minor league,
and while Lafferty hasn't had as good
success since he changed his name
from Sammy Houston, he is not to be
despised as an opponent. Sweet has
not made as good showing this year
as his last seasons from gave promise,
but Isbell apparently thinks well of
him. 1t might be worthy of note, also,
in commenting on Isbelrs small staff
of pitchers, that five men pitched
practically all the games the Des
Moines team played and that four of
the five won more than half their
games, three of them, in fact, winning
two-thirds of the games credited to the
Des Moines team. That should be suf-
f1cient reason for Isbell's stand pat
policy.
Jack Holland of st. Joseph has mad
II twirlers. and if the census is cor
rect he still has seven or eight of them
left.
