ONE WORLDS BIGGEST STORES
CLOSES DOORS IN BANKRUPTCY
New York, June 25.-A friendly
petition in equity for receivers, i'm
mediately followed by two involun-
tary bankruptcy suits against the H.
B. Claf1in Company probably the
largest drygoods concern in the
world, with big branches in many
large cities of the East and Middle
West, caused a sensation through
out business circles here today.
Federal Judge Hand Immediately
appointed Joseph B. Martindale and
F. A. Juillard as receivers. The COM
pany's liabilities are said to be about
$25,00O,000.
There was very little effect on the
stock market.
1t was stated that the United Dry
goods Company and the Associated
Merchants and controlled companies
were not directly involved in the re-
Ownership.
The claim was made that much Of
the difficulty confronted by the firm
resulted from the competition of re-
tail stores organized by John Claim,
head of the H. B. Claf1in Company.
At the offices of the company an
official declared it was impossible to
say at this time anything as to
whether any stores controlled by the
company in other cities would close
as result of the receivership.

Ed Lee Wrothe and the Ginger Girls are
this weeks attractions at the COLUMBIA
Theatre. Mr.. Wrothe's we'll known crea-
ton. Janitor Higgins. is familiar TO the
PATRONS OF this house. 1t Is highly
amusing impersonation OF the apartment
house janitor, with whom so many per-
sons come in daily contact. The two-sct
burlesque. Of which Janitor Higgins is the
central figure, is entirely new. and the
character of the janitor has been amph-
fed and made funnier than ever before
Mr. Wrothe has the assistance OF Jane

SHAW. STAGE DIRECTOR.

Mary Lawton's costumes in THE Phi
lanGerer' have caused almost as much
talk as the play itself II was Shaw who
directed the rehearsals and the staging of
The Phlanderer" and who had the play
set ia the period of 1SsD-that is. AT the
time the play was written. Everybody
thought this was an unusually daring
thing 10 do, as the fashions of 1880 are
lust far enough away from ours to look
a little BIT extraordinary and yet not far
enough away TO have that picturesque
quality which appeals TO the modern play
goer However. Shaw. who is master
Of theatrical effect "a well as OF play
writing. knew what he was doing The
costumes are very effective. Just why
Mr.. Shaw did il has been hard 10 sscer-
tain. The members of the company or
Granville Bankers manager, when asked
about II, shrug their shoulders and say
they don't know. but they believe that In
costuming the play thus Shaw wished to
show the modern theatregoer how far
ahead OF his time he was. All the men 3
costumes are frankly 1880. and so are
those Of Miss Ernita Iascelles. who plays
the part OF Grace. and Muriel Reddail.
who plays Sylvia. Miss Lawton's cos
tunes. however. have proved TO be the
bone of contention. To the average play
goer they appear more up to date than
the others. As a mater OF fact. Miss
I.awton's costumes are distinctly Burne-
Jones. aud just as shaw proves by his
costumes that ne was ahead OF his time
