1t will be "a pleasurable announcement
to patrons of The Playhouse that Hiss
Blanche Hall, seen here last season in
Oliver Morosco's charming success, Peg
O My Heart will again appear in the
title role there this evening and Friday
and Saturday evenings, with matinee
on Saturday. "peg'' has undoubtedly
been one of the most successful come
dies of recent years. Its great pros
perity is attributed largely TO the
charming principal character. which j.
Hartley Manners has created-the ma
tive. Irish American girl, who contrasts
so refreshingly with her convention
bound English relatives. Miss Halls
charming personality So naturally fits
the part of "Peg," and as a result the
comedy has had as great a following in
the cities she has played as IL had IN
New York during its phenomenal run.
The story. it will be remembered, tells
of the attempts of the Chichesters 60
teach "Peg" the elements of worldly be-
havior. during the time In which She
is an inmate Of their household. Their
efforts are in vain. but her natural
qualities of frankness and good nature,
and her irresistible charm finally carry
off his feet the English nohlcman who
is "a friend of the household. and, de
spite the contemptuous treatment she
has received. peg saves her young
cousin from the mistake of eloping with
a married lover

TRAWLER STRIKES
MINE-ALL ARE
LOST WITH SHIP

Fleetwood, Eng, Via London, Oct.
49, 4.05 A. M.-The trawler City ot
London arrived here early today with
the survivors of the British freight
steamer Manchester Commerce which
struck a mine late Monday night off
the north coast of Ireland and sank.
Captain Payne and Is of his crew were
drowned while 80 others were saved
by the trawler.
Ambulances, physicians and a large
crowd of the townspeople were at the
dock when the trawler came in. Sec
ond Officer Gee told the story of the
disaster.
THE explosion occurred 20 miles
north of Tory Island" he said. "on the
main trade route from Manchester to
Canada. There was no doubt in any
body's mind as to what had happened.
The ship began to sink at once and
was beneath the waves seven minutes
after striking the mine.
The officers and crew exhibited the
greatest GOODNESS under the circum-
stances. We were able to launch on

POLICE and FIREMEN
MUST PAY FARESON
THE TROLLEY CARS
Notice Given Out Wednesday by
Supt. Bowie of L., A. & w.
Street Railways in Accord
ance with Provisions of Public
Utilities Law

Beginning today, firemen, policemen
and all others who have been in the nab-
it of riding free on L., A. & w. cars
must pay their fares. This is regardless
of whether they are on duty or not. No
tice to this effect was given City Marshal
Colgan Wednesday by Supt. Bowie of the
railroad company.
This is not through desire of the rail-
road company, but because it has no
choice in the matter. The new public
utilities law, which goes into effect Fri
day, makes it a criminal offence for the
company to grant passes to any persons
other than employees. For this reason
the company has issued the order which,
as said, becomes effective on Thursday.
This means that policemen, whether in
uniform or not. firemen, whether going
to or from 4 fire, must dig down and
give the conductor of the car a nickel,
If they would ride.
The only persons to whom the road is
permitted to give free rides are en-
ployes They cannot permit passing of
members of an employees family on the
cars. This applies to all connected with
the road. Members of Mr.. Bowies fam
lily must pay their fare on the cars or
walk. He cannot give them pass to
ride on.
The new law does not effect letter car
riers. For a number of years they have
been required to pay their fare. This has
been paid, when they were on duty, by
the postoffice department. The way it
has been accomplished was for the post
master to purchase a supply of tickets.
which We're furnished the carriers as the
required them.
Among employees of steam roads. who
have been in the habit of receiving pass
es for members of their families to travel
on, the new law will be especially felt,
as under its provisions such free riding
is prohibited.
