BROADWAY JONES" BREEZY COHAN PLAY AT ELKS'
 THEATER

Broadway Jones' the great George M. Conan play, will be staged for the first time in this city by the Ed Red mond Stock company at the ElkS thea ter, commencing Monday evening and continuing throughout the week. Ed Redmond has made a happy choice for a Fair week attra ction, inasmuch as George NJ. Conan is regarded as the most popular playwright of the decade. and his play, Broadway Jones'" is conceded to be his greatest effort.
 Transplanting familiar types to the stage is an art that George M. Cohan possesses to a greater degree than any American playwright since the days of Charles M. Hoyt. Like that well be- loved author, MT Conan succeeds in visualizing and vitalizing his charac- ters with a faithfulness that makes them very real indeed. and never more convincingly illustrated than in that of Broadway Jones' the star role in the play of that name.
 Broadway Jones' is said to be an ideal Conan play with all the breezi- ness, dash and catChiness characteris- tic of the prolific young authors work. He has taken for his pivotal character a young man who has deserted his home town to squander I fortune left to him on the greatest street in the world" He succeeds in such fine fashion that at the outse; of the play he finds himself broke and is about to marry a wealthy widow when ne discovers that he has fallen heir to a gum factory located in Jonesville, Conn. He returns to the home town for the purpose of dispos- ing of the plant to rival concern when he meets his childhood sweet heart. Joice Richards is a leVel-head- ed girl and forcibly explains to Broad way that if he disposes of his plant it will throw out of employment 1'e men and boys in his home toWn-the town that his grandfather founded and took so much pride in. Although in experienced ;n business. the young man takes hold of the plant and by means of big advertising campaign he starts the plant on the road to prosperity and the rival concerns are driven to cover. It can readily be understood how much fun the Ien of Conan can extract from this situation. It is all good, clean fun, too and of the rapid fire kind that this authors following expects
 Special preparations have been made for the staging of this play at the EIks theater. The settings for the four acts have been designed by Minor Reed, and from the mechanical end the produc- tion will be the most complete ever at tempted by a stock company While the players of the Redmond forces, headed by Roscoe Karns in the star role. Au- dell Higgins as Josie and Ed Red mond as the Judge, are all admirably suited to the parts; while the play it. self is guaranteed to be the biggest theatrical treat ever offered in the city and no doubt throughout Fair week crowded houses will rule at the Elks to see the popular Redmonds in Broad way Jones'"

SECONDHAND AUTO is
ROADS ONLY ENGINE
12-Mile Line In Kansas Now Money
Maker After Being Long Con-
sdered a Dead One.

Westmoreland, Kan.-The ingenuity
of G. E. Morris, receiver for the Kan
sas, Southern & Gulf Railroad, in
utilizing a secondhand automobile for
motive power, has changed that road
from losing to a profitable enterprise
and it has been purchased and taken
out of receivership by a new company
known as the Westmoreland Interur-
ban Railway Co. 1t will continue to
have the distinction of being the only
gasoline railroad in the country, as the
new owners are strong believers in
Morris automobile motive power
The road, a dream of the early sos,
was projected to traverse the wheat
belt, connecting the Dakotas with the
Gulf Coast. Work started at Blaine,
in PottaWatOmie County and after u
miles had been completed extending 10
WestmOreland, the county seat, the
promoters could find no further sale
for their bonds and had to abandon
construction. For equipment they had
two engines and two cars. so they be-
gan to operate over the short stretch
that was completed, as it was the only
railroad in the county.
The road never paid dividends, but
had to borrow to pay the interest on
bonds. About five years ago the en-
gines wore out and there was no
money for repairs. Then the state took
charge and appointed Morris receiver.
Morris traded the two locomotives
for a reasonably good one and kept
the trains going with some regularity
He tried to resign several times but
the court wouldn't let him. He fired
a lot of useless employees like conduc-
tors, station agents, passenger agents
and freight agents and made the fire
man also act as conductor and brake
man. Morris also got court order
that let him raise the freight rates and
he charged cents a mile for passen-
ger fares, but even this would not
make the road pay expenses.
About two years ago Morris disposed
of the old engine and purchased u
secondhand automobile For the front
wheels he substituted the trucks of Il
hand-car and for the rear wheels two
locomotive front wheels. The body
had room for six passengers, besides
the driver, and Morris built some min
iature freight cars by putting bodies
freight cars, each with a capacity OF
two tons, and is not only giving salts

QUEEN OF SHEBA'S
DIAMONDS SEIZED
New York Treasury Agents Take
Possession Of Two Egg
Shaped Jewels.
PRINCESS WAS RECENT OWNER
Turk Accused as SnuggIer Says Fam
Gus Monarch Wore
Them.

New Treasury agents have
seized from A Anpikadjian, resident
of Constantinople, now in this city,
two egg-shaped diamonds weighing
more than IS karats each, and said to
have been worn centuries ago by the
Queen Of Sheba
The diamonds are said to be of
great value, not only because of their
size and quality, but because of their
antiquity.
Collector Of the Port Dudley Field
Malone directed the seizure of the
jewels, which, it is claimed, Anpikad-
jan failed to declare to the customs
officials when he arrived in the United
States
Upon being questioned after the
seiznre Of the diamonds, their owner
said he had purchased them in the
jewelry market at C0nstantinOple
from an Egyptian Princess, who de-
clared they had been in her family
for centuries, and had been worn at
one time by the Queen of Sheba. At
the time of the purchase, he said, the
diamonds were attached to two emer-
aids, about / inch square. The emer-
.alds and the diamonds formed large
pair or earrings. The emeralds were
purchased by another dealer, he said.
The seizure of the diamonds was
the result of recent activity on the
part of agents of the Treasury Depart
ment. Collector Malone received in
formation some time ago that num-
Der of dealers in precious stones
had come to this country since the be-
ginning Of the war in Europe.
At the resquest Of the collector, the
Treasury Department detailed officers
to investigate all foreign dealers who
had arrived in this country and to re-
port upon the conditions in the dia-
mond and jewelry districts in this and
other large cities in the United States.
The agents finally got on the track of
the two diamonds, and Anpikadjian
was found in the office of Maiden
Lane diamond dealer, where he was
Offering the stones for sale
Counsel for Anpikadjian contended
that the diamonds were artistic an
tiQues, free from duty, and that his
client had shown them to the custom
officers upon his arrival, and they had
passed them.

FOND OF SALAD?
TRY SOME SAWDUST
Leader of Chicago Apyrtophers Eats
Fifteen Dishes in Day and
Feels No Pain.

Chicago, In.-The apyrtrophers-
''unfred fooders" themselves
natures epicures." They put good
deal of faith in nuts.
A new article of diet has been
brought to their attention by the
leader of the flock, Prof. George J.
Drew. 1t is sawdust.
Although the conservative medical
fraternity may be a bit skeptical,
Drew is not. His claims for sawdust
are:
''It stimulates the nerves of tn peri
stalsis by the tickling from the little
points of the sawdust.
''The fiber sweeps out your interior
like broom. Put it in your salad to
exercise your teeth"
Then, to prove the harmlessness OF
the remedy, Prof. Drew at four tea
spoonfuls Of sawdust in a "synede" "
A "synede" is not as deadly as it
sounds. 1t consists of lettuce, toma-
toes, bananas and saWdust.
I'm still smiling" remarked Drew
at the conclusion of his demonstration.
Il haven't any pain in my sawdust
and 1 have eaten IS dishes of it today"
The professor is short and inclined
to corpulency. He says his good
health is due to uncooked foods, also
plenty Of nuts and sawdust.
Let it not be supposed, however,
that ordinary crude sawdust will serve
the purpose; there are only two Varie-
ties of trees, the professor said, that
may be used. They are the elm and
linden

COURTS THE MOTHER,
WEEDS THE DAUGHTER
Bride Said to Have Been Won BY
Flowery EIoquenoe-A Mothers
Sacrifice

Coram, N. Y-The thing that is now
puzzling the residents of this peace
full hamlet is why 79-year-old Edwin
Hawkins, of East Moriches, sud
denly ceased his courtship, of Mrs. Lu-
ellie Overton and has just married her
daughter, Miss Christina Ophelia, who
is thirty-seven years his Junior.
Three years ago. when the East Mo.
riches man came to live at the Over
ton homestead, it was limited among
the neighb0rs that he had an infatua-
ton for Mrs. OVertOn, who is widow,
and it was expected among the gos-
sips that they would some day make
a match Of it."
Consequently there was no end of
excitement when the aged preacher
married the Widows daughter. No
reason is given for the break in the
supposed affection Of the bridegroom
for the brides mother They will not
talk
The bridegroom is lay preacher
of the plymouth Brothers" doctrine
ana used to call meetings at the home
of the brides mother, where he would
PROFOUND to the neighbOring farmers
the light as he seets it.
1t is understood that he has a great
eloquence of address and that his
young bride was often seen watching
him with wistful eyes when he was in
the heat of his fowery flow of words.
1t is suggested by some that she fell in
love with his voice, and that the
mother has sacrificed her claim to her
offspring rival.
The bridegroom is a widower and
has been married twice before. He
mas several grown children.

ODD FELLOWS HOME
HA0 PROSPEROUS YEAR


The Colorado State Odd Fellows
Home on Fifteenth street has had a
prosperous year and its trustees will
be able to make a fine report of its
condition at the annual meeting of
the I. o. o. F., grand lodge at Colorado
Springs next week. A big apple crop
is being gathered from the orchard
on its property and lot of corn and
other produce grown there this season
that will afford feed supply for the
cattle and other live stock kept in
connection with the home during the
winter months. A splendid garden
has furnished all vegetables consum-
ed by the inmates and has been a
means of minimizing the expense of
maintaining the institution.
The management of the home by Mr..
pnd Mrs. Jones has been careful and
economical and has won for them un-
stinted praise by the members of the
order throughout the state. There
is being sheltered at the home at
present about seventy-five people.
about half of whom are aged and in
firm men and women and the remain
der children. The ages of the in
mates of the institution range from
three to eighty years. The children's
department is practically full and an
enlargement of capacity will have to
be provided before many more can
sbe taken without undue crowding. 1t
is expected that the usual per capita
tax on the membership of the order
in Colorado will be made by the grand
lodge next week for the support of
the home during the coming year, and,
perhaps. a special fund created by a
special levy for improvements and
extensions to the home.
Through the beneficiaries of Flor
ence Lodge I. o. o. F.. and its auxil-
liary. the Daughters of Rebekah. a
fine piano was recently presented to
the home and is now installed in the
music room for the use and entertain
raent of the inmates and visitors. A
two hundred and fifty dollar Vic
trola was also presented to it a few
weeks ago as the result of a fund
created by the voluntary contribution
of the Odd Fellows of the state; none
of them giving more than twenty
five cents. Hardly a week passes
that some present is not received at
the home for the comfort and pleas
ure of its occupants from some OF the
lodges OF the state. The Rebekahs
have been especially generous in their
gifts and the attractiveness Of the
home to its occupants has been great
ly enhanced as a result OF their
thoughtfulness and nberality.
