DIVE KEEPER APPOINTED.
John P. McGOverB, Of Baltimore is
Made Policeman at State House.

Among the knowing ones here the
appointment of John p. McGovern, of
Baltimore, to be a policeman in the
State House is regarded as a piece Of
rather sardonic humor. in spite Of the
fact that he is fully acquainted with
police methods, or ought to be, as a
result OF his long experience with the
police of the Western district, gained
when he kept the notorious red-light
saloon on the northwest corner Of Ra-
berg and Pine streets.
His appointment az a House police
man is a parallel case to the appoint
ment of John Schoenewplf to be a
doorkeeper in one of the United
States Senate galleries. SchoenWolf
kept the saloon directly across the
street from the McGovern place. his
being on the east side OF Pine street,
while that of McGovern was on the
west side. The appointment of
Schoenewolf was made at the request
of Senator John Walter Smith, and
John S. (Frsnk) Kelley is the man
who put Schoenewolf over" on him.
In the same manner Kelly is respon-
sible for the appointment of Meow
ern, for be has been regarded as one
of Kelly most loyal lieutenants, and
it is said be never failed to deliver
the goods to Kelly as they were want
ed.
The place was a rendezvous for the
women of the street and the men who
made their living fiom the earnings
of the women, and crowd Of them
could always be found congr egated
there.

"WITHIN THE LAW"
Great Play al The Academy Of Music
Baltimore Next Week

II we are to believe the abundance
Of praise bestowed in advance npon
il. local lovers Of good plays and tlne
acting are certain 20 welcome the an
nouncement that Within The Law
Bayard Veiller's absorbing drama OF
American life is soon &c appear IN
Baltimore. 1t will be given its local
initial presentation next Monday
night at the New Academy Of Music,
Baltimore. under the managerial
sponsorship of Selwyn & Co, and
will hold the boards Of that playhouse
for the entire week, with the usual
Wednesday and Saturday matinees.
Forsaking the conventional paths
pursued by playwrights, Mr.. WELLER
has. ia within the Law, devised q
virile and exciting drama of a certain
contemporaneous life in the larger
cities that appeals with equal force
to every class of theatregoer. The
story IL along the following lines
Mary Turner. the heroine OF the
play. is a shop girl 10 the Emporium
Depat tment Store in New York City.
Prior to the opening OF the first act,
stolen goods have been discovered IN
her locker, and her employer. Ed-
ward Glider. has had her ARE stec
and, through his influence, sentenced
to three years imprisonment, just 70
make an example OF her. Mary con-
scious Of her innocence, obtains an
interview with Glider, under the pre-
tense of telling him how to stop the
thefts. Instead of this, however, she
tells him that he can prevent thlev-
ing by giving the girls living wage,
thereby making il unnecessary for
than TO steal. Incensed at what he
terms her deceit, he orders the detec-
lives to take her away 20 prison.
Then, in a scathing denunciation,
the infuriated girl, at the finale OF
the first act, tells him Of the pitiful
condition of her shop girl compan-
ions. How they live crowded, three
in a miserable room, cooking their
frugal meals over a delapidated gas
walking home miles at night
after being on their feet all day, in
order to save cartare She tells him
how they are deprived of medical at
tention when i'll from priyation due
to insufficient clothing. If girl Sc
cures the necessary comforts il is
only through stealing or a worse
evil. The act closes with the girl
being dragged away, breathing ven
geance.
In the second act sie has served
her sentence and has retuvned--a
changed woman. She is now essay
ing the role OF an expert blarkmailer
at the head of band Of dangerous
criminals. Surrounded by highpriced
legal talent, all her acts are strictly
within the law" She boldly car
ries on her career of legalized crime,
laughing at the futile efforts of the
police department to convict her. in
this role she succeeded in winning the
heart II and marrying young Richard
Glider, the only and favorjte son of
her eXemplOyer. Thus she secures
her vengeance. The old man is brOk
enhearted at the discovery that his
darling boy is the husband of an ex-
convict and bowed in sorrow and
shame. Mary'J revenge is complete,
but the play has happy ending.
Mary, conquered by the power Of
love, gives up her questionable prac-
tices and as the real thief confesses
she is relieved of the stigma OF a
prison record and everybody is happy.
