BELASCO

Tuesday evening within the Law"
with Helen Ware. will begin its return
engagement at the Belasco Theater.
Monday evening having been set aside
for the Mask and Wig entertainment.
Great interest centers in the second
visit to this city of this powerful play,
because the excellent impression Great
ed by its presentation here earlier in
the season is still fresh in the public
mind. There are many elements which
make within the Law one Of the
most popular dramas produced in the
last decade. Bayard WELLER has per-
formed the first DUTY of 4 playwright
of telling an interesting story. He has
not followed any classical model, but
has gone to the real source OF the
American drama, that is, to the Ameri-
can interest in social reform. The play
does not attempt to solve any OF the
problems it states. 1t makes a fasci-
mating story, a drama of constant ac-
ton. but it leaves the problems for
others to wrestle with. Helen Wares
portrayal of Mary Turner is remem-
bered as most brilliant and convinc-
ing picture. In Miss Wares support
will be seen Frank Campeau, Eugene
O'Rourke, Charles White, Emmett
King. Edward Donnelly, Echlin Gayer,
Beatrice Noyes. Catherine DAILY. Minnie
Gale and others popular matinee is
announced for Wednesday.

pleasure, ii being believed that he
would make a model town of Center

He originally accepted the position
only temporarily. hoping that he
would be able to bring harmony in
the city government. Frank Griffin,
a prominent resident of the town. has
been appointed chief of police to'suc-

Store ROBBED
OWENS STORE AT JUNIUS
ENTERED BY BURGLARS
LAST NIGHT.

Constable Geo. Grant of Junius
came to the city this morning and
reported the burglary of Owen
Owens store at that place last night.
This is the first case of the kind to
occur in this immediate vicinity this
season, although there have been
many robberies in small towns in diff
ferent portions of the state since the
unusual influx of harvest hands. 1t
is not presumed that harvest hands
are generally dishonest and inclined
to burglary and other depredations,
but their presence in the state in
such large numbers furnishes an OPP
portunity for the criminal element
to flock to the state and hide among
the workmen.
Mr.. Owens store was entered by
breaking a window. The goods taken
consisted of silks, shoes, cutlery,
raincoats and numerous other arti-
cles in the stock to the amount of
5000 or $500. To provide a way OF
carrying the goods, the burglars
emptied several gunnysacks contain
ing vegetables and it is presumed
packed the goods in the sacks and
carried them TO a vehicle OF some
kind and proceeded on their way.
The hour of the burglary is not
known and the discovery of the
theft was not discovered until Mr..
Owens came to his store this morn
ing. The matter was placed in the
hands of the county officials and
several parties who are known to
have camped about the suburbs OF
the city last night were investigated,
| but no clew to the burglars has been
found at this writing.
