MUTT and JEFF" IS
WELL RECOMMENDED
THEATER GoERs ARE LOOKING
FOR A GOOD TIME ToMoR-
ROW EVENING

/ lIf favorable press criticism and
large audiences are any criterion,
Manager Gus Hill evidently has cor
nered the entire laughter market in
his latest offering, Mutt and Jeff in
Panama" and the second of the
Mutt and Jeff" stage series. The
offering. which is in the nature of
melodrama with musical comedy
trimmings. will be seen at the Dun
can opera house tomorrow night.
In this particular production we can
make the usual prediction that the
rank and file of local theater goers
will be more than amused. 1t is an
entertainment on new lines, with
features and surprises not, harbored
in any other show. Tou are bound
to laugh and hold high carnival over
what Mutt and JEFF" say and do. and
when an iluthor can do this there is
no gainsaying that he has accom-
pished the purpose he has set out
to accomplish. The cast is a large
and competent one and the scenic
inyestiture all that could be desired.
Ten song hits are distributed and
other unique novelties are promised.

JOHNSON LIKES HIS
GOVERNOR SALARY
EXECUTIVE OF CALIFORNIA AN.
NouNcEs HE WILL RUN
FOR REELECTION u

Sacramento, Cal, Jan. 6.-Hiram
w. Johnson announced today that he
would seek reelection as governor
of California. He said personally he
would prefer to be candidate for the
United States .senatorship, but he
had decided to seek the goyernorship
again, guided by what he believed to
be the wish Of the majority of his
followers.
Governor Johnson, who was candi-
date for vice president on the pro
gressiye ticket with Theodore Roose-
yelt at the last national election, had
announced recently that he desired
to retire from politics because of
falling health. His stRnd caused an
upheayal in the California ranks of
the progressiyes, with several party
leaders anxious to fill Johnson's
shoes.
Governor Johnson finally decided
to stay in politics Ito save the pro
gressive state machine" as it was
popularly called. However, he re-
Trained for several months from open
ly announcing whether he would seek
reelection as governor or a place
in the United States senate. This
stand caused party leaders to await
his decision even more anxiously
than previously, before deciding what
offices to seek for themselves, and
the political situation became more
muddled than ever.
In his statement issued today John
son said:
4 had hoped at the expiration of
my term of office to take up my life
where l left it in 1919 (the legal pro
fession) But the men and women
whom the past three years have plac-
ed California in the very lead of the
progressive and humanitarian states
of the union, insist upon another
candidacy by me, and demand that
continue in the fight
Very many both progressives and
others, have asked me to become a
candidate for United States senator;
and if candidacy on my part be
necessary and l were to consult my
personal desires alone, I should pre-
fer this; but if must yield my hope
of retirement this year. feel that /
should be governed in my course sole
ly By the desire to carry forward the
cause that isl so dear to me and to.

done In my native state According

But the enterprise Of making Latin

a word of comment by itself. 1t
might be thought to prove that Latin
is not SO dead language, in every
sense of the term. as has been as
serted. To make it vehicle for
Jokes of the day would seem to show
that it is very much alive. And it
is not merely question of the stu
dents, who perhaps laboriously wrote
and learned their parts, but of the
auditors. If the hall could be three
times filled with an audience quick
to see and applaud each thrust, are
we right in thinking that the habit
Of Latin quotation has SO nearly gone
out because there is nobody left to
understand it? For our part, we
should greatly like, if we honestly
could, to draw comfort for the lovers
of the classics from this Westminster
play: but truth compels us to state
that every one who ATTENDS the per
formance is furnished with an Eng
lish translation, and also with sort
of little book OF the play" giyine
the gist of it. This seems like :
dashing of the last hope, yet it mus
not be forgotten that many a good
Latin scholar, judged by modern
standards, cannot easily understand
the language when it is spoken, OF
speak it himself. A tongue that il
taught as dead" inevitably becomes
dead in this sense. And so it is, as
the London Times remarks, that
"great instrument has been lost
which should have continued to be

NEW YoRk STOCK EXCHANGE

New York, Jan, 6-After their ear
ly outburst of activity and strength,
stocks gradually fel 1away, and for
the balance of the mornings session
business was on a limited scale. The
gains recorded at the opening were
quite generally reduced and in some
instances altogether effaced.
Heayiness of Baltimore and Ohio,
which declined acutely, and weakness
in New York Central probably count
&c, among the factors that mitigated
against an immediate continuance Of
the rise, while Amalgamated Copper
was under pressure in connection with
adverse trade reports The Mexican
situation and another batch of unfav-
orable railroad statements helped to
check the advance Bonds were stea-
dy.
The afternoon session started with
renewed activity and strength, in
which Union Pacific touched 1888.
The announcement of Union Pacific's
distribution of its Baltimore and Ohio
holdings caused Union Pacific to re-
cede to 1864, and Baltimore and Ohio
to SS1S. Later Union Pacific recover:
ed to near 1853.
The market became rather feverish
and uncertain later, Union Pacific ris-
ing to higher level than before, only
to lose a point, while the preferred

mon fell back to 1, its previous low
mark, and the preferred lost points
Elsewhere the undertone was irregu-

The market closed strong. Highest

FUN IN LATIN

he scholars in Westminster in on

az original Latin play every year, of
the nature of review. That is to
say, the chief events of the past
twelve-month, political and social,
are made the subject Of skits and
5okes in Latin verse, says the New

which was so successful that it was
given three times. had a great many
amusing grinds on persons in public
Life, with witicisms about current
fads in society. When one says that
all this is good fun-making, allowance
has to be made for the peculiar it'll
iation which always comes from
catching the point of joke in a for
'aign language. And a special hum0r,

the fact that glbes at Lloyi George

SPOT COTTON AT
HIGHER FIGURES
Talk of Reopening the Exchange
Foreign Stocks Exhausted
Feeling Optimistic.

The announcement that the court
had granted an order permitting the
sale of the so-callod "Pell" cotton at
nine cents was received with general
satisfaction in Cotton Exchange circles
yesterday, and IL was expected that an
official announcement, fixing a date for
rcopening the market for general bust
ness, would be made on Monday. The
talk was that November lG would
probably be the date named for this
purpose, as the conference committee
is understood to have secured practi-
cally all necessary signatures 20 the
corpOratiCn-sy ndicatc's agreements. II
IS understood that the corporation is TO
take 100000 bales. including the Pell
holdings of about 10000 bales. and that
rs much of tho cotton as possible will
be sold between the purchase price
and the 1lYc level. Should the market
work still lower the cotton will be
taken over by a syndicate at 1l4c, the
members OF which will assume all fur
Their responsibility. Owing TO the re-
cent advances in the South, many trad
crs believe that the syndicate is not
likely 70 be called on 90 assume many
contracts. and December held steady
on the curb here yesterday morning az
1850 90 7.60c.
Notwithstanding the scmi-holiday
conditions which usually prevail on a
Saturday. there was large attendance
OF brokers at the Exchange yesterday,
and the. talk reelected continued conf
dencc in an expanding general BUSH
ness as we'll as i'm an early resumption
of futures trading. The action of Liv-
erpool has made n favorable impress
sion, while expectations of an increas-
ing export demand were encouraged by
reports that Russia is establishing spc-
cial credits here which will be largely
used in the purchase of cotton. Ac-
COrding to reports received from the
United States Embassy at Berlin.
stocks of cotton at Bremen are prac-
tically exhausted. and prices are quoted
of loo TO 1Sc for old crop, while re
