KISS MUH" FUNNY /.
HIT AT KEENEY'S.

One of the cleverest acts put on in
a vaudeville theatre in some time is
kiss Muh," now on view at Keeney's
Theatre, with Girard and Gardner as
the chief funmakers in the skit. Over
twenty years ago Eddie Girard was
one of the stars OF the musical comedy
stage in Natural Cas-" and he has
not gone back in the least.
AS the Irish policeman who in a
dream is transported to the boudoir
of an East Indian princess Girard is
a. distinct hit. He has a dialect and
style that are all his own, and is
especially funny when, by the mystic
power of the princess, he is changed
into a monkey. Girard was one of
the first to impersonate a monkey on
the stage, and the sketch is as funny
as ever.
Fred Heider gets away to a slow
start with a song about all the rail-
roads in the u. S. A.. but winds up
with limitations of various nationali-
ties and an acrobatic dance that is a
splendid effort.
The Damascus troupe of Arabian
acrobats do some whirlwind tumbling,
one of the features being the work
of the strong man of the troup hold
ing up the other eight members. "A
Day in Court" knockabout bur-
lesque on police court procedure, put
on by nine people, got a lot of laughs
May LaFrance, a vocalist with a
good voice, sang number of selec
tons that were rather higher in class
than the usual vaudeville stage offer
ings. Lacey and Walters and Murphy
and Delmar, song and monotogue
teams, combined a lot of old and new
jokes in a manner that pleased. The
Act Royal. posing deerhounds, made
some pretty pictures Of hunting
scenes.

Pretty little Mildred Harris wanted
to be an actress when she was a wee
maid of three summers. Now she is
all of ten years old and counts her
engagements by seasons. So, you see,
she soon put her wish into practise.
This picture shows her just as she
pulled her pony up, after a race
across the great, open ranch of the

MUCH OF THE LOSS ON STOCK
MARKET HAS BEEN RECLAIMED

NEW YORK. June 30.-For the first
time since the Chaflin failure the stock
market to-day gave earnest evidence OF
Its ability TO respond to favorable condi-
tion and much OF the loss incurred since
last Thursday was rcgained.
Factors contributing I'm greater or
lesser measure were the more encourag-
ing crop adNtccs. the large interest and
tEgregating $4,000. 900. which stimu-
lated moderate Investment demand
and another drop In exchange. putting
further gold exports beyond the proba-
biltty OF Immediate resumption
There were perhaps some more speci-
nc or particular reasons for the reco,
cry, although these did not appear on
the surface. II seems altogether likely
that last weeks bad news created a
highly vulnerable short interest, which
was speedily driven to cover at the first
hign OF concerted buying. Then too un.
official adNices from Washington re-
specung the important freight rate decI-
sion now pending were or a more hope

J; s. 1aehe q Co.'S Closing Letter
NEW YORK. June 30.-The market
became active and strong shortly after
the opening today. and the gains dur
Ing the day were well maintained
throughout the entire session. The
morning papers having stated that the

probably be several weeks I'm handing
down their decision IN the freight rate

over Of stocks. but these stocks made
very little impression, and the denial
OF the story by the officials at Wash

ket closed strong. and best prices we're

United States Government Demands
Reason for Hostile Act in Port
of Smyrna.
MAY HAVE BEEN A WARNING.
Firing of Shot Possibly Was to In
form Vessel That Port
Was Mined.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 19.-The
United States government has d.
rected Ambassador Henry Morgen-
thau at Constantinople to ask the
Ottoman government for an explain
alton Of the firing by Turkish land
forces at launch from the Ameri-
can cruiser Tennessee proceeding
from Vourlah to the American con-
sulate at Smyrna, Asia Minor.
Secretary Daniels, with the ap-
proval of President Wilson stimuli
taneously cabled the commanders of
the Tennessee and the North Caro-
lima, also in the Mediterranean, to
take no action which might embar-
rass the American government and
to await specific instructions from
Washington concerning the general
situation.
These steps followed the receipt
of a message from Capt. Benton C.
Decker, commander Of the Tennes-
see, which was paraphrased in this
statement from the navy depart
ment:
Capt. B. C. Decker, in command
of the Tennessee, wired Secretary
Daniels yesterday that while pro-
ceeding from Vourlah to Smyrna to
make official calls, boat was fired at.
Consul anxious for safety of consul
late. Tennessee proceeded to and
left Vourlah at request of ambassa-
dor and is now anchored in the har-
Dor of Scio (Chios), Greece, from
which Captain Decker's telegram
was sent. Secretary Daniels wired
tor fuller information.
Although without definite details
as to just what occurred, high offic-
ials of the Washington government
had no doubt that the incident, no
matter where the responsibility lay,
would be promptly adjusted through
diplomatic channels. President Will
son is determined that under no cir
cumstances shall the United States
be involved in war with Turkey. If
the Turkish officers acted without
the authority of the Ottoman gov
eminent and the firing was not JUS
titled by naval procedure as closed
port, it is confidently believed here
that the Ottoman government will
render an apology.

WAS IN
THE PANCAKES
Mount Pleasant Girl Dies Of Poison
Wednesday Morning.

Mount Pleasant, Ia, Nov. 90
Inez Jordan, the 14-year-old daugh-
ter of J. B. Jordan, died yesterday
morning from arsenic poisoning
found in pancakes served at the
breakfast table in the home We'd
nesday morning, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Jordan and their son, Cyrus, are in
critical condition.
Mr.. Jordan, his wife and two chill
dren, Cyrus and 1nez, all partook
heartily of pancakes at the morning
meal and shortly after were taken
suddenly and seriously i'll. Medical
aid was at once summoned and the
physician said that they were suffer-
ing from arsenic poisoning. 1t is
believed that there was arsenic in
the pancake -four but how it came
there is a mystery.
The Jordan family has suffered
more than their share of hard luck
as only a few years ago Mrs. Jordan
was found badly beaten up and the
affair has been shrouded in mystery
up to the present time.

RUSSIANS ADMIT THE REVERSE
Strategy Of General Won Hindenburg
Has Lent New Aspect to Cam
paign in East.

London, Nov. 20.-The unexpect-
ed blow delivered on the Russian
center by General Won Hindenburg,
with the German army which had
retreated from before Warsaw, was
the predominant feature of the news
reaching London yesterday from the
eastern arena of the war.
No change of Importance has
been recorded for some days past in
the western arena, where Flanders
is still the scene Of heavy fighting.
In spite of adverse weather condi-
tions and flooded trenches, the Ger
mans appear to be holding their po-
sitions from which at intervals
they launch attacks for which the
territory from the Belgian coast to
Arras has become famous.
The allied warships are still off
the coast, hurting shells inland
when opportunity offers. The Bel
gian army remains in the region
where the floods have been the
worst, and some dispatches say that
in certain places they have been
fighting from small boats.
Having for the time being thrown
back the Russian advance toward
the German frontier of Posen, Gen
eral Won Hindenburg is the hero of
the hour in Berlin.
There is much criticism in Berlin
of the German retreat from Warsaw
but if the present marked reversal
of form proves permanent, the Ger
man center doubtless will retrieve
its reputation just as the allies re-
trieved themselves almost at the
gates of Paris.
The German wedge from Posen
would appear to have driven the
Russian center more than fifty miles
back from the frontier, so that the
line is now about midway between
German territory and Warsaw.
Elsewhere along the great eastern
front the Russians, where they are
not progressing, seem to be holding
their own.
England, and especially London,
turned its eyes from the conflict yes
terday to pay last tribute to it's
greatest and best loved soldier,
Field Marshal Lord Roberts, whose
body, in the presence of King George
and all the military leaders not at
the front, was placed at rest beside
Wellington, Nelson and others cele-
brated in the country's history, in
st. Pauls cathedral.
