SEASIDE CLUB TO HAVE
GRILL AND RATHSKELLER

Members of the Seaside club last
night abolished the bylaw forbidding
liquor in the club except on New
Years day, and also authorized the
governors to raise $4,000 to install a
Rathske1ler and grill room The vote
which ended controversy that has
extended for years and has been the
cause of many designations from the
club, was 81 to II with two blanks.
Architect G. E. Southey exhibited
plans for the grill last night The
plans call for an entrance on Lafay-
cite street.
The matter was called before the
members for consideration last night
by a letter from Willis F.. Hobbs, pres
ident of the Board of Governors, which
in part read follows:
Zone of two courses must be pur-
sued-either to proceed on the lines
outlined by the Board of Governors,
authorizing than to proceed with the
work of installing a Rathskel1er hav-
ing distinctive and unique features
which are not to be obtained elsewhere
in Bridgeport; the alternative being
cutting the expenses of the club in ev-
cry direction in order to hold them
within it's income, and under present
conditions with designations coming in
before practically every meeting of the
board it would mean practically cut
ting out all Saturday night lunches,
music and entertainments, and in my
opinion would result in a gradual but
sure death to the club

1.-THE GOLDEN CROOK"
EXTRAVAGANZA co.
AT THE PARK THEATRE

Clever. free from any faint of sug-
gestiveness and of the better than
ordinary type, The Golden Crook Ex-
travaganza won a success at the Park
theatre last night in the first of a
three nights production. It is really
good, From Riches to Rags proving
a scream throughout and receiving
unlimited applause. There is nothing
of a nature to bring offense to the
most critical while this absence in no
way detracts from the merit Of the
production in the eyes of the ''regu-
lars"
Clever songs, snappy dances and
appropriate scenic adjuncts. all com
bine to provide an evening capable to
offsetting an epidemic of the blues.
The leads are masters of fun MAX
ing, expesssB in extracting laughs and
surrounded by a company, the mem
bers of which know how to dance
and sing. The musical numbers and
specia1ties are unusually good. The
program is well balanced throughout.
For the ordinary mortal it is a diff
ficult proposition to extract sufficient
mazuma from the world to keep out
of Jail. Perhaps this lends to the in
terest of seeing two "Scions of the
blue bloods" having the task present
ed them of collecting $4,000 in a
year or become subjects of his Satanic
majesty. Frank A. Burt and Frank
Dobson, as two once-millionaires in
search of the elusive dollar, have
many and varied experiences, insert
much ginger and humor into the gem
eraI action and prove themselves the
life of the production. Maud Rock
well is a winner in the role of Rayo,
the. queen of light, and answers the
question as to why sunbeams are al
ways as welcome as the world finds
them. But she is only one, perhaps
the most prominent Of the aggrega-
ton of pretty girls, costuned in a
manner presenting them in the most
attractive manner
One of the specia1ties attracting
much attention and applause is The
Hippodrome Four in 'Dinglespiefs
School Room" Many are the mem
cries of happy days in the school
room. Many happy memories are
caused by the school room experiences
of Boyd, Kelly, Stremmel1 and Plant.
1.-THE Famous Ballet" introducing the
Golden Troupe of Dancers is another
speciality standing out prominently in
the program.

BENSON'S RECALL
IS CAUSING TALK
IN ROME. EMBASSY

Rome, Oct. 3.-Alexander Benson,
second secretary of the American En-
bassy here, will leave today for Wash
ington to answer questions in relation
to the charges against Post, Wheeler,
the first secretary, that he used his
diplocatic position to obtain Illegal ex-
ernption from customs duties. Arthur
Hugh Frazier, the second secretary of
the Vienna Embassy, has arrived here
and will remain in charge of the Rome
Embassy until the arrival of Am bas-
sador Page
The recall of Mr.. Benson and his re-
placement by Mr.. Frazier has caused
much talk here. The Rev. Mr.. Laurie,
chaplain of the American Episcopal
church. who is the only promin ent
American colonist here at present, says
it is well known that there has been
enmity between MT. Wheeler and Mr..
Benton for some time and that they
have not been on speaking terms The
recall of Mr.. Benson was therefore
natural although the second secretary
did not expect it.
The Rev Mr.. Laurie expressed re-
gret that the American Embassy is
now without any secretaries who are
familiar with Rome, especially in view
of the fact that Ambassador Page Is
also new man. The scandal, Mr..
Laurie said, was very dep1orabIe, it
is causing endless gossip, much of
which is exaggerated. The Rev. Mr..
Laurie does not believe the rumors
that Mr. Benson has been plotting
against Mr.. Wheeler.
Thomas Nelson Page the new Am
bassador, is due here today.

TANGO" DRAWS LARGE
CHOWD AT POLLS THEATRE

Crowded to the doors the tango con-
test at the Poll theatre last night
greatly appealed to the audience who
gathered to witness the performance
and most able judging Of the superior
ity of the various couples accorded
three prizes judicfously. Ma11ey Far
rell, of Harra1l avenue, and Miss Mel
lie Mcmahon of East Main street, were
the wining pair, while Luke Clancy,
1,o44 North avenue, and Miss Irene
Francis of 1872 Howard avenue, took
second place in the contest. Third
honors were awarded Henry Renard,
124 Arctic street, who had as a part
ner Miss Emeline Conner of Fifth
street extension.
The management announced that for
the ensuing week larger and more
elaborate contest than ever staged
here before would be offered, in which
regular dancing school pupils would
probably be entered by their instruc-
tors. 1t is the intention to present a
distinct dancing-schoo1 contest as well
as a factory-girls' night at some later
date.

CANAL ENGINEER Is DEAD
Col. Gaillard Is Victim of Strenuous
Work on Culebra Cut.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Baltim0re.-Lieut.-Co David Du.
bose Gaillord, United States army,
who directed the engineering work in
the Culebra cut division Of the Panama
canal, died at Johns Hopkins hospital
here. He is survived by his wife and
son, Lieut.. David P. Gaillard, U. S.
A. Both were at the bedside when
the end came.
Col. Gaillard's death Is the culmina-
ton OF a breakdown incurred by long
hours of work and exposure in the
canal zone, where he pitted his skill
rs an engineer against the shifting
soil of the Culebra cut. To him had
been given the most difficult task in
the canals construction-to master
the landslides and quicksands which
extend for eight miles along the line
Of the Culebra cut.
For the greater part of his work
ON the Isthmus Col Gaillard was with
out a chief assistant. He wanted to
save money. He gave his attention
not only to the great engineering
problems, but to all the details Of
shovel work, train work and drainage.
He checked up on the small things,
and once 1t was computed that by his
careful oversight he had saved the
government 100000.
