A short time ago the writer met a most
interesting cosmopolitan gentleman py
the name OF George Won Reinolts, at n
small evening gathering. He is the pos
SCISSOR of a most unusual bass voice, sing
ing a double with the utmost ease,
making 1t a perfectly good tone. For a
mere parlor trick he sang Rocked in
the Cradle of the Deep" an octave lower
than written, and sang 1t in a muslcianly
way, too. Although he did not show them,
friends said that he had several letters
from the late Lillian Nordica, written
several years ago, urging him to pursue
musical career, as he had voice which
should not be lost to the public. He was
in the original cast of the Pirates OF
Penzance," which Gilbert & Sullivan pro-
duced in America in order to protect their
copyright He created the role Of the
Sergeant in this opera, not because ne
was originally cast for IT, but through
one of those unforeseen circumstances
which happen at the last minute. The
opening night arrived, and this being his
first appearance, the more seasoned sing
ers kindly told him all of the joys of

dainty maid left the stage than stage

and there he saw Sir Arthur Sullivan con-
Quoting and looking at him which big,
black eyes, which grew larger and larger
until they resembled saucers. He saw tho
enormous audience, and felt how little
they looked and how big he seemed there
on the stage before them. He looked at
the gallery, off stage, at his boots, and
wished the floor would swallow him.
Prompters were calling his lines to him,
but not one word could he hear OF what
they said. He was in a cold perspiration,
and lived hours In a few minutes. Al
this point the audience began to laugh,

- tacular Persian love play,
Omar, the Tentmaker." This attraction
comes direct from Broadway, where 1t
has ran the entire season, establishing a
record as the greatest dramatic success
OF the year The entire original produc-
tion and cast will be brought to this city
intact
Omar, the Tentmaker' is by Richard
Walton Tully, based upon the life, times
and 'Rubaiyat' of Omar Khayyam, tho
famous Persian poet and mystic of the
eleventh century. Pictorially nothing finer
has ever been achieved upon the American
stage than the succession OF sumptuous
settings that constitute the background
for the play. These settings were de-
signed jointly by Mr. Tully and Wilfred
Buckland, who for ten years was art
director with David Belasco during the
latter's period OF greatest activity. Espe-
cially effective is the rose-bowered gar
den with its intricats and realistic sunset
and moonlight displays, and 1t is in this
scene that many of the most lyrical love
passages of the play transpire
Omar, the Tentmaker" is first and
foremost an enhancing romance. Not
only is particular attention paid to the
engrossing love-life of Omar himself, but
as much of the action transpires during
the poets mature manhood the sweet
love story Of Omar's daughter, the Little
Shireen, is also included with telling ef-
fectiveness. For the rest. Mr. Tully has
infused tremendous dramatic interest, for
the action embraces thrilling escapes,
quick deaths, mighty passions and all the
other big human qualities that are dear
to every theater-goer.
The acting of Guy Bates Post as the
genial and lovable Omar has aroused the
utmost enthusiasm and more than one
discerning critic has declared that his
superb Characterization firmly establishes
Mr.. Post as the foremost exponent %
romantic roles upon the English speaking
stage. The company nearly numbers 100,
including Fred Eric, Jane Salisbury,
Louise Grassler, John Hunter Booth and
all the other Broadway favorites who
contributed TO the metropolitan success
Of the play.

HUNGER STRIKE ON
At STEVENS POINT
PRISONERS REFUSE TO WASH
DISHES At REQUEST OF
SHERIFF.
BREAD AND WATER SC0RNED
Men Confined in Portage County Jail
Prefer Starvation to Dish
Washine-Sheriff Uses
Drastic Measures

Stevens Point-Dirty dishes are pill
ing up at the jail and the two prison
ers assigned TO that job by Sheriff
kubisiak are growing weaker every
day.
The men. Edward Riley and John
Dwallen, were sent to the county Jail
from Amherst, where they were con-
victed of creating disturbance about
two weeks ago. Soon after they were
brought here they were put to work
on the woodpile and told that the
warmth of their meals and of the jail
depended upon their efforts in reduc-
ing that pile
Soon one of them contracted rheu-
matism and could do no work and
even though cold meals were sent in
and steam turned off at night the other
soon displayed signs of a physical
breakdown. Taking compassion on
the men, Sheriff Kubisiak relieved
them OF that duty and assigned them
to clean the plates, knives, forks,
spoons and cups and the cooking
utensils
This they refused to DO and when
told they would have to live upon
bread and water until they washed
the dishes, replied that they did not
have to live on bread and water and
threatened to bring their attorney
from Madison
Since then, three times a day their
allowance of bread and a supply of
water have been placed at their dis
posal by the kindly sheriff, but none
of it has been touched, the men hav-
ing declared a hunger strike until
given full meals and immunity from
labor
One of them, weaker than the other,
called for the sheriff on Tuesday,
asked for a meal and promised that
he would wash the dishes. He was
told when the accumulation Of dishes
had been washed he could have his
meal, and it would be a substantial
one, too.
The sheriff withdrew and not having
been called, visited the man again only
to find that not one of the dishes had
been touched. The hunger strike was
still on.

SENATOR URGES JAIL
FOR RAILROAD HEADS
If Reports Are True, New Haven Deal
Is Criminal, Says Borah in the
Senate.

Washington, Feb. 9.-Fear of grant
ing immunity to witnesses caused the
interstate commerce commission to
make an incomplete investigation OF
the affairs of the New York, New Ha-
ven & Hartford railroad, Senator Nor
ris said in urging passage of his reso-
luton for a new inquiry into several
features not touched in the recent in
vestigation
Senator Norris read newspaper
charges emphasizing particularly that
attorneys for Morgan & Co. received
$4,000 for drawing the incorporation
papers of a $1,000 subsidiary of the
New Haven.
IF half the information made public
about the New Haven transactions IS
true eight or ten persons ought to be
in the penitentiary," interjected Sen
ator Borah. Are you not afraid fur
Their investigation may give immunity
to guilty persons?"
Senator Norris replied that testi-
mOny probably could be obtained
from bookkeepers and he had no OBJ
lection to giving them immunity.
Il predict the state of affairs here
finds a parallel in the capitalization of
a dozen railroads of the country" said
Senator Cummins. I'VE have known it
was going on for years and refused to
give the interstate commerce commits
sion power to regulate such matters"
Both Senator Lodge and Senator
Norris said they understood the COM
mission had evidence it had not made
public.
II think the spectacle Of five or six
men behind the liars would have a
more powerful moral influence on the
country than any legislation we can
enact" Borah declared.
Senator Cummins replied there was
no federal law under which the attor-
ney general could put any of these
men behind bars" and that the attor
ney general could not enforce state
laws, nor grant immunity from prose
cUtion under state laws.

CREAMERY TO HANDLE EGGS
University Lecturer Tells Eutternsk-
'ers That They Have Superior
Facilities for Keeping Eggs.

Madison.-Because poor eggs have
a tendency to reduce consumption,
the question of getting eggs on the
market is an important one. An
agency well fitted to handle the far
mers' eggs and bring them to the
consumers table in good condition
is the community creamery, accord
ing to James G. Halpin of the uni
versity poultry department. who
spoke at one of the sessions of the
farmers conference here.
THE creamery man is constantly
handling a perishable product and
consequently has the facilities for
keeping eggs away from foul air and
bad doors" said Mr.. Halpin "The
average groceryman, on the other
hand, uses practically the same meth
DDS in handling eggs that he does
potatoes, with the result that ne
helps large quantities Of eggs to
spoil every year. If the housewife
could be certain of securing a uni
form grade of good eggs she would
use them literally, many times, re-
gardless of the price,
