NEWARK

At least once in every two years
some ravishing melody sweeps the
country and ingratiates itself in the
musical affections of the people of
all classes. A few years ago the
Alma" waltz seemed to be the in
spiration and the Solaee of every one
who could sing or play an instru-
ment. This year another waltz has
taken the place of the Alma" theme.
and it IS oddly called "Das Mitter-
nachtmaedel' ("The Midnight Girl').
This waltz, which is now all the rage
in New York, Is the same as the title
OF that fascinating operetta of which

ORPHEUM

4 play of unusual quality has been
secured for the Orpheum Theatre for
this week, and one that is well be-
fitting the occasion is Blanche Rings

Mabel Brownell will, as the Wall
Street Girl, have the time of her
life," while all the other members of
this favorite organization will have
parts splendedly fitting their indi-
viduality. THE Wall Street Girl
is an all music, song and fun show,
fill of sparkle, dash and dazzling
features To an extent it is some
what operatic, but the music being
of most jinkling nature, and the
fun so lively and gingery, it must
be classed as a musical comedy of the
very highest order.

it will be the quality of production

sentative musical comedy and one

San Francisco, Feb. 25.-Willie
Richie had word yesterday from Pro-
moter Tom Andrews of Milwaukee that
everything is going along in nice shape
for the match with Ad Wolgast on
March IL. Andrews wired that the
signed articles had been received and
that everything was satisfactory. He
has already opened the advance sale
of seats and predicts banner house,
since the reservations have commenced
to arrive from as far away as North
Dakota. Foley says the new stadium
will seat 10000 people and if packed
to capacity there will be plenty Of
money to divide between the scrappers.
Bud Anderson took his departure
at o'clock last night for Medford,
Oregon, where he will hunt and fish.
He has not made up his mind as yet
whether to retire entirely from the
boxing game or give it another whirl,
the next time as full fledged welter-
weight.

MILLER'S
HOME FOR CLUBS

Oakland, Feb. 25.-The Heights,
Joaquin Miller's home in the foothills
overlooking San Francisco bay, will
become the property of Oakland wom-
en-, if a plan worked out by the Boul-
evard improvement club of East Oak
land is successfully carried to a con-
cIusion. The organization has found
that the tract can be purchased for
$4,000 from the heirs Of the deceased
poet.
1t is figured that this sum can be
raised by share certificates of 81 each,
the holder having his proportionate
interest in the tract. Just what dis
position will be made of the land
finally is not yet decided. A number
favor holding it until the city sees
fit to purchase is for park, while
others would keep it simply as real
estate investment

San Francisco, Feb. 25.-What has
happened to Harry Ables, the gigan-
tic Oakland southpaw? 1t is a ques-
ton that Manager Devlin is asking
and we'll might be asked. In the past
Ables has made practice of being the
first man at the training camp. This
year he has not written a line and the
transbay management is at loss to
know what he is going to do. Ables
signed up last fall and then went back
to his home in Texas. He promised to
be back early for ''come back" stunt.
There was a rumor in the middle of
last season that the left handler was
contemplating retiring from the game
and perhaps there is something in it.

TO FEED CRIMINALS
PEACE MAKING FOOD

San Francisco, Feb. 25.--The con-
tentions of DR.. A. F. Gillihan, health
director of Oakland and Professor
Myer E. Jaffa, professor of nutrition
at the University Of California, that
the introduction of scientific food
schedule in Jail kitchens will result
in eliminating to some extent, Grim
inal tendencies on the part of prison.
ers, and the proposal to adopt some
such schedule for feeding of prisoners
in the Oakland county Jail will be dis
cussed by the American association
of drugless physicians at a meeting to
be held on Thursday evening, Febru
ary 26. The discussion viii take place
in Maple hall, Oakland, according to
DR.. H. M. Ward of Oakland, vice
president of the state association and
a member of the department of scien-
tifc research.
In giving his views DR.. Ward de-
clares that much more good can be
accomplished by scientific feeding in
probation homes and reformatories for
the young. He further holds that it
will not be long before the inmates of
penitentiaries and insane asylums,
particularly the former, will be pa
tients rather than dangerous beasts
confined for the benefit of society.
In speaking of the criminal side, he
said:
"Crime is disease that is the re-
suit of early environment and habits
of life, beginning in early childhood
as result of vicious dietic habits, or
it may even be traced to prenatal in
fluences, the mother imparting unnat-
ural tendencies to her offspring
through her errors of diet during the
formative period. Children born un
der such circumstances start life with
handicap in the form of unnatural
appetite and this, together with the
unhygienic methods of feeding chill
dren, will lay foundation that will
manifest itself in later life either in
the form of diease or crime"

ORGANIZED TRAFFIC
SUSPENDED IN STATE

San Francisco, Feb. 25.-The ex-
istence of a thoroughly organized
white slave combination. controlling
the entire traffic in girls in Pacific
coast cities, with headquarters in this
city, is the revelation said to have
been made today by Emile G. Ducoin,
who is awaiting deportation in the
government Jail at Angel Island. 1t
is believed the confession was in
spired through motives of revenge
for the reason that the prisoners
former associates have done nothing
to aid him in his predicament.
Just how much Ducoin, himself
convicted of a crime coming under
the white slave laws, has divuIged
could not be learned. 1t was admit
ted tonight, however, that Detective
Sergeant Joseph Redmond, head of
the police white slave squad, is look
ing for man named "Devine" and
another alleged white SLAYER, who is
said to own property here worth sew
eral thousand dollars, and whose
name the detective would not divulge.
Also it was said that John Robin
son of the United States immigration
bureau, with Redmond, may send to
Los Angeles for Emile Pomato, alias
Crespi, now in Jail there on white
slave charge.
The four men, Redmond said last
night, planned to corner the white
slave market here and in Los An
geles, and then, Through the man
"Devine," do the same in Seattle and
Portland. Devine is said to be in the
north.
The ring of four is said to be fl
nanced to the extent of half million
dollars and to have planned the i'm
portation here of scores of foreign
women and the recruiting of the red
light district with girls from every
part of the Pacific coast and ada
cent territory.
Emile Pomato, or Crespi, has fig
ured in number of unsavory cpl
sodes in this city of late years. He
was arrested in July, 1911, as sus-
pect in the sensational abduction OF
Helen Whitson Johnson from her
home in the Santa Cruz mountains.
At that time he was associated with
Henri De Lorme, who ultimately es-
capped Jail by marrying the girl, and
with H. Duval, all said to be mem
bers of a white slave ring that oper.
ated throughout the state. De Lorm;
was eventually deported to France.

there are more actors off than on the
stage. That is why big contractors
never discourage the congregation of
crowds about new buildings in pre-
cess of construction. Here, where all
streets are constantly filled with
crowds, coming from nowhere and
apparently bound for the same des-
tination, it is the easiest thing in
the world to collect a crowd. 'Wags
have been known to do it on wagers
by simply standing still and staring
at nothing. A new sky scraper now
going up on lower Broadway, destined
to have the largest floor space of any
building in the world, is daily the OBJ
ject of great attention. Hundreds Of
men, women and children may be
seen around it all day long. They are
watching the men putting the huge
steel girders into place.
And the men? Do they resent the
audiences? Not bit of it. They are
aware of the attention they are Gre
ating, and work the better for it. The
admiration of the crowd stimulates
them, just as it does the theatre ac-
tors further up the long and crceked
street. They work faster, attempt
deeds of more daring and feel in
every fibre of their bodies the atten-
ton they attract. The impromptl
audience urges the workers on to more
speed, more daring feats. Like the
professional actors they can "put it
over" better with "packed house"
than if working to "empty benches" :"

Unemployed Women

The problem presented by the
hundreds of unemployed women is one
growing out of the larger part played
by women in industrial occupations in
the cities and towns. They have Great
ed for themselves new means of sup
port outside of the home, and at the
same time have been compelled to
face the consequences of uncertainty in
finding work and wages at all times in
congested centers. 1t is vain to hope
that hasty remedy can be improved
for the benefit of women to cure con.
ditions that have confronted men for
many generations.
