Ten eneoreS!
They marked the climax last night
of a real fairy story in which two
pennlless and unknown musicians
were the joint heroes.
At 81 "a night, George Willxesen,
seventeen years old, and Archie
Schuler, nineteen, of 332 Orange
street, regaled the patrons of local
chop-suey restaurant with ragtime.
Wilkesen played the violin: Schuler
sang and played the piano.
1t was hard work-hard, laborious.
monotonous and ill-paid work. There
was no romance in 1t. No fairy stories
ever came the way of the two young
followers of Orpheus.
But on occasion they broke away
from routine and drifted into the
magic melodies of some masterpiece
the Barcarolle from the Tales of
Hoffman" the Evening STAR" from
Tannhauser; Celestial Aida" or some
other matchless fragment of the opera
And during those lapses the diners
stopped eating. The hum of CONVEX
sation died away. Even the soft
footed walters stopped to listen
Jack Mcnamara, manager of the
"Follies of the Day" company, was
deftly finishing his chop suey one
Wiitil tiC tWO pldyCAS SAldntcu
to play the intermezzo from "Caval-
leria Rusticana." He heard it, SPELL
bound.
After the last pianissimo strains
had died away he went up to the
players.
Boys he said, "I'm going to give
you chance. Come over to Miners s
Theatre tomorrow afternoon"
When they reached the theatre

POWER OF MUSIC RAISES TWO POOR
NEWARK LADS TO FAME OVERNIGHT

yesterday afternoon he noticed that
Wtlkesen was cold.
"You musicians ought to take care
of yourselves" McNamra chided.
Where's your overcoat?"
You see, we've only got one be-
tween u.s. said Wilkesen. II let
him have it because he's a cripple
and isn't so strong"
We'll. come along and play sone-
thing for u.s." the manager said.
When they found that they were
actually going to play before the aur
dience the two had an acute attack
of stage fright. They were trembling
with nervousness when Mr.. Me-
Namara led them out and introduced
them, But when they started to play
they forgot everything but their
music.
The audience received them SO we'll
that Mcnamara told them that they
would have to play again in the ewes
ming.
As a test Mcnamara put them on
at the very end of the program after
the long burlesque show was over. X
was the very worst time for them, for
they would have to hold an impa-
tient audience.
PLAY the intermezzo. like you did
last night at the restaurant, SAID
Mcnamara. IF you do 1t is we'll.
you'll be all right.
They rendered it matchiesslys
Schuler's tenor, sustained by the vio-
lin and the maestoso chords of the
piano, was as clear as a bell.
Not man left the theatre until
the two had played ten encores.
McNamara made them sign cofl-
tract for five years.

EGG BOYCOTT AT
SETTLING POINT

WASHINGTON. Dec, 6.-HaVlnS
obtained the support of Mrs. Thomas
r. Marshall. wife of the Yice-presi-
dent. Mrs. Robert M. LaFollette. Mrs
Albert b. Cummins, the wives of
nearly all the cabinet officers and
those of many senator's and repre-
sentatives, the egg boycott campaign
will be brought to a close here today
by local clubwomen.
The only other work that now re-
mains to be done is the final roundup
for signatures to the petition that
will be presented TO Congress at an
early date, asking remedial legisla-
tion to prevent food monopoiles;
This petition, which Mrs. Ellis
Logan, head of the movement mere,
declares will bear more than $4,000
names, will be completed OH Monday,
and will then be ready for presenta-
ton to Congress along with similar
petitions for Philadelphia, Chicago,
Pittsburg, Kansas City and other
large cities.
During the last week egg prices in
Washington have decreased from so
cents a dozen to so cents, the price
they were quoted yesterday for the
first time since the egg boycott began
here. Dealers declare the drop in
price, while coincident with, is not
due to the boycott but to the in
creased supply and a lighter demand.
They express the opinion that prices
will be still lower before the advent
of the Christmas holidays

ARMSTRONG BOX,
! OPENEDAf BANK,
|NPL|CATES MANY
Startling Evidence Against Sew
eraI Persons Found in Per-
sOnaI Effects.

Startling evidence against several
persons and firms prominent IN busl-
ness affairs of Newark WAS found
among the personal effects Of William
c. Armstrong, recently thrown into
bankruptcy by the officials of the
State banking department when his
private safety deposit box No. 40. at
the Roseville Trust Company, was
forcefully opened by Clifford F. Mac
Evoy, receiver, today. Roy Mayham.
of the banking department. was in
charge of the proceedings,
1t was through the work of Mr..
Mayham in uncovering several deals
of Armstrong's that an involuntary
petition was recently filed by the
department in the United States
Court in Trenton, and it is as
sumed that it was at his suggestion
the box was opened.
Although Mr.. MacEvoy was en-
phatic in his objection to having
representative of the Star present at
the proceedings, nevertheless, quite
bit of the contents of the box were
viewed by the reporter before he was
politely informed it was private"
"Well, I expected lot Of certain
things to happen" and Mayham
smiled as he uncovered half a dozen
blank checks, notes and sight drafts
signed by D. C. Newell, 80 Lawton
street, East Orange, and not filed in;
"but," and here Mayham smiled and
the private sign was displayed
A check for $1,000 made payable to
Armstrong and signed by Newell,
but not having a date was also
among the checks and drafts viewed
by the reporter. 1t Is expected that
BOX As" will be big help to May
ham in his work of getting direct and
conclusive evidence against certain
persons who We're known 9s promi-
nent friends of the alleged default
in secretary treasurer RAYMOND e.
Smith. From information CLEANED so
far by the State banking official it
Is more than probable that at least
twenty indictments will be returned
by the grand jury when they finally
take the matter under investigation.
While the contents of the box were
being gone over by MacEvoy May
ham, Michael Kane. jr., president of
the Depositors Protective Associa-
ton. made a formal demand on Mr..
MacEvoy to be allowed to be present
This MacEvoy refused to allow Kane
to do. Kane left the bank and said
he would take some legal action in
the matter.

FLOODS DEATH
LIST OVER FIFTY
At Least Twenty-Five Victims
White Persons-Refugees
Being Rescued.

BRYAN, Tex, Dec. 6.-The known
death list in Texas floods was in
creased to more than fifty today. At
least twenty-five of the victims were
white persons.
Motor boats from Houston and Gal
weston. got into the flooded Brazos
river, bottoms in south central Texas,
rapidly removing hundreds of ex-
hausted and half-frozen refugees
from trees and housetops.
The crests of both the Brazos and
the Colorado river floods entered the
last hundred miles of the rivers re-
spective courses. doing fresh damage
there, but on a diminishing scale.
The flood centre today extended
from Marlin, sixty miles in an air line
above here where the waters were
receding enough to begin to count the
dead, to Richmond, eighty miles be-
low Bryan.
II was discovered today that on
Wednesday Anderson Stewart white
farmer, his wife and four children had
drowned when skiff in which they
were attempting to escape from their
flooded home near Marlin, capsized.
Joe Cooper and his son were drowned
in front of the porch of their home,
on which Mrs. Cooper and the other
children stood helpless to give aid.
Cooper had rowed a slxiff into deep
water to see whether it was safe to
try to transport his family. An eddy
unset him. The son plunged in to
+ Wis father and both drowned. A
. other persons near Marlin,
most, negroes, were reported miss
ing and some of them were known to
have drowned. Navasota about noon
reported refugees gathered there from
the Brazos bottoms below Bryan.

ten, according to this mornings re-

BATTLE LIKELY
BETWEEN T|ttE
AND FUG|TVES
Rebels Pursue Fleeing Generals,

vicinity of Ojinaga, Mexico.
More than 1000 non-combatants.
men, women and children, are with
the Federals.
There is a rebel garrison of 500 at
Ojinaga, the point opposite the United
States border toward which the fugi-
tiVes are making, and Villa has de-
layed his departure for Chihuahua to
send more troops there.
He says he will take the arms from
the soldiers and all money from nom
combatants If he can capture the flee
ing column. General Luiz Terrazas,
an aged Chihuahuan capitalist, is re-
ported to be with the fugitives and
carrying $2,500,000 in gold.
villa says that, except for taking
their money he will not otherwise
molest n-combatants, aside from
those he regards as political offenders.
in which class he places members of
the Terrazas family.
General Salvatore Mercado, mill
tary governor of the State of Chi
huahua, is in command of the fleeing
column
crowds of persons with automo-
\ camped at Presidio, Tex, OPP
loste Ojinaga, in anticipation that
the refugees 0ncluding the Federals)
would cross the river Should the
Federals, disheartened by their long
siege in Chihuahua, and by the de-
cision Of General Mercado to flee be-
cause of the bankrupt condition of
his army, decide to cross, they would
give up their arms on the American
side.
Fugitives Have Hard Time.
The report reached Ojinaga that
the fugitives had been in great dis
tress, since their route was across
waterless desert plateau, swept by
cold winds at night and sandstorms
by day.
Rebels report that part of the fugi-
tives have turned to the west and
are approaching Palomas, on the bor-
der opposite Columbus, N. M. With
them are said to be General Jose Sal
azar and Pascual Orozco, both of
whom are under Indictment in the
United States for violations of the
neutrality laws.
Another reason why General Villa
returned northward to Villa Ahuma-
da was to communicate with General
Carranza, head of the Constitutional
lists, who is in Sonora.

and the capability of the people to
rule.
They might make mistakes" he
said, but would rectify them more
quickly than if few were ruling
Tor them"
Smilingly he added that he could
point to several mistakes the people
had made during the last twenty
years.
Speaking of President Wilson's
declaration in his message for
Presidential primaries, Secretary
Bryan said he thought that before
another Presidential campaign al
rived the people would vote at home
for their choice and that the Presi-
dent, when he entered the White
House, would know no individuals,
but only the people.

The report shows the proceeds Of

J. S. Rippel of Newark, protested
to the utility commission that he had
been deprived of an opportunity to
bid for this issue, and alleged faV-

The commission in speaking of the
refusal to let Mr.. Rippel bid on the
issue, says:
"In the concrete circumstances we
are of the opinion that the sounding
of other possible OF probable bidders
was necessary part of the proper
course to pursue; that departure
therefrom in similar circumstances,
even admittedly made without con-
seriousness OF improper motives, is a
policy that may lead to unwarrant-
able prejudice to shareholders and to
customers; and that a sense of spe-
cial obligation would warrant nothing
more than the sale to the preferred
bidder at as high a price as offered
by another responsible party"

Steamer Russia Safe

NEW YORK. Dec. 6.-The steamer
Russia from Libau for New York.
which was reported yesterday an
chored near LyselSil, Sweden, with
machinery deranged. was signaled by
wireless today and will dock Tuesday;
The captain of the steamer reported
"all we'll" This would indicate that the
report received yesterday that the
Russia was in trouble near Lysekil
was erroneous and probably referred
to another vessel.
