May Robson Delights Odeon Audience
With PLEASING Comedy

May Robson. whose previous ap-
pearances in The Regeneration OF
Aunt Mary" and A Night Out" has
endeared her TO local audiences. came
back to the Odeon Tuesday night in
her latest success. Martina Blythe
Day" comedy by Julie VI. Lippmann,
based on Miss Lippma ms Martha
stories.
Miss Robson and her company Of
artists delighted the far sized audi
ence with the clever comedy and home
~ philosophy that is interpolated thru
the story Of how Martha brings every
thing out right. Miss Roosor's char
acter is not unlike Mrs. Wigs and
her philosophy admits of ,nary truths.
| The role as taken by the ccmedienne
I in her Martha comedy is quite unlike
4 those in which she has been seen here
| before. Once or twice the lines gave
Miss Robson an opportunity to display
her rollicking comedy for which she
| is noted, and which brought TO mind
her Aunt Mary and Granmum which
have so pleased local audiences before.
| Miss Robson's style Of comedy is de-
cidediy refreshing. and her naturalness
| places the stamp Of the artistic on
her every line and movement. The
comedy is clean and wholesome In

Albany, N. Y, Feb. 6.-Former Gov.

The whole official atmosphere is

more of graft than 1, nor mas any been
a greater victim.
There is no politics in graft. All
crooks look alex to the taxpayer. I
have no hesitancy in saying-and I
know-that more than $6,OOO,0OO of
the taxpayers money was stolen in
highway construction in 1912. So with
the canals, SO with other state de-
partments-pillage running into nit

RYLANDER FARM

TONS OF DYNAMITE USED

ing the effect Of keeping the populace
upon the Qm we 1t was not war,
however, but work; that OF blowing
thousands of tree stumps from the
fields and thus putting them in fine
form for more improved cultivation.
Mr. Rylander has thus cleared Up
more than four hundred acres fine land
recently, Riding it entirely CT stumps
and putting the fields in condition for
careful cultivation.
Three tons of dynamite, costing about
$3.50 per ton, has been used already,
and Mr.. Rylander still has on hand
another ton of the explosive for the
completion of the work. The expense
of $14OO or $500 incurred is more
than offset several times over in the
reclamation Of this valuable land,
Heretofore the stumps were too thick
for effective work, but now the fields
are like velvet.
Not only have the stumps been all
blown out by the roots, NUT the ripping
and rending of the land will improve
vastly the fertility of the soil and rec
der cultivation easier.

Charles X. Hamilton, whose feats in
the air have startled hundreds Of
thousands in many parts Of the United
States, and who had been very seri-
ously injured several times in wrecks
of his aeroplane or when he had to
jump from it, was found dead in his
bed at his home in New York the
other day.
Hamilton had experienced slight
lung and heart trouble while making
flights on several occasions, and once
said that volplaning, or swooptng
down from a height was dangerous to
the heart. He often felt severely, he
said, the strain of his calling.
In Florida a year ago he Ieaped
from his aeroplane at a height of
forty feet just as the machine turned
a double somersault. He was badly
hurt.
Hamilton had his first taste of flying
when, attached to the tail OF a kite,
he was drawn by a beat over the
Hudson river. This was on the occa-
sion of the visit Of Prince Henry of
Prussia in 1902. -Four years later lie
made ascensions in a dirigible balloon
at C0ney Island, and in 1909 took his
first fight in an aeroplane.

SMALL SUM MONEY
MISSING WHOLE DE-
PARTMENT SEARCHES

Washington, D. c., Feb. 6.-Search
OF a most exhaustive character failed
tc reveal the whereabouts of 100 money
sheets, each containing four 81 bills
that have been missing from the bu-
reau of engraving and printing for
some weeks. A full inventory Of all
the property Of the bureau is being
made, and will be completed early next
week This is expected to determine
whether the missing sheets have been
destroyed or stolen The inventory is
being made with a two-fold purpose
to locate the lost sheets if possible,
and also to check the property of the
bureau before moving into the new
building next month.
Speaking of the missing sheets last
night, Director Joseph f. Ralph, of the
bureau, said he is making every effort
to clear the matter up, and feels con-
hdent that they have been misplaced,
and are not stolen or destroyed. He
stated, however, that every precautfon
lis bing taken and that several men
are working on the case.
In explaining his belief that there
had been no crime committed, Director
Ralph stated that it would be an easy
matter to wrap up an extra unit of 100
sheets, making a package of ], 100, in
stead of 1000 which, when placed in
packing case, would not be discovered.
The inventory taken last year at the
bureau came out correct to the cent.
the money involved amounting to $747.-
10000 according to Director Ralph. He
hopes to have the same result this
year, but first the hundred sheets must
be located.
Bureau of engraving and printing in
formants state that a general belief ex-
lists that the money has not been stol-
en-, but that it is a "frame-up" on the
part of certain. dissatisfied employees
to embarrass the director. Asked if
he had heard of this. Director Ralph
said he had not, and that he did not
believe there was any foundation for
such a rumor
