Negro Wouldn't Come Out, So
Officers Took Bed To Pieces

Henry Jackson, a negro, was arrested
yesterday morning by Detectives Cren-
shaw and Goldstein and placed in the city
Jail on the charge of grand larceny.
According to Detective Goldstein, Jack
son burglarized a house at 1916 Sixth al
ley about 10 o'clock yesterday morning.
Police headquarters were notified and
Detectives Crenshaw and Goldstein de-
tailed to the case.
The detectives arrived a few moments
after the negro burglar had left and TIL
his mother and the Englishman who
was his father, his love Is of that never
dying variety which stamps itself on
the world and the history of the world
and ends as such loves frequently do
in death. So is the love of the Amer

is the theme of the play.
zone Day. abounds in the emotion
al There is much frivollty and some
of the commonplace lovemaking, but
what predominates is the passionate
1ovemal<ing. The intervals of frivolity
but serve to tighten the play and pre-
vent 1t from becoming oppressive. Ro-
nance permeates the play and when
play--it hits the mark.
Not before in the history of the
Bijou has a more competent company
been seen than that which presented
"One Day" last night. Victor Suther-
land, who plays the lead as Paul, crown
prince of Sardalia, is well remembered
in ''Three Weeks and The Goose Girl
He has a most pleasing stage appear

He fits the part. Playing to his Paul,
Fay Cusick as Opal Ledeaux won the
esteem of the audience and much of
the applause. She is a pretty woman,
and has the face, the figure and the
stage carriage of a heroine. In her
emotional scenes and especially in the
first scene of the last act she was par
ticularly strong. Here Paul has found
her room at a hotel in Lucerne, where
he had gone to learn of his birth, and
passionately pleaded with her to throw
aside the count. to whom she is en-
gagged, in order to save her father, and
to fly with him. Her efforts to resist
him and her own love and her yield

the climax. Her death by her own hand

of that admonition. 'rhe Wages of

is a fitting reminder to those who
transgress the divine law and it is an

With these additional advantages the
annual horse swapping conventions, old

More than that he knows that the
principal issue on which the Prohibition

anti-shipping bill. He knows in years

Immediately before an election, but I
would stand for it and secure it after

so used. It was the one bill the liquor
