BIRMI. CHAM WROTH
 oECAUSE PRISONERS ARE ALLOWED TO GO
No Record on Police Blotter Af- ter Daley, Makes Arrest
 of Burglars"

Following one of the stormiest sesA sions that police officers attached to headquarters have had under the SUI perintendence of Eugene Birmingham for many years, it developed last night from the statements of policemen and officers that the building at 988 Main street was not burglarized early Sat urday night but that the large plate glass doorway was broken by pair of men and resulted in an immediate capture that does great credit to the men patro1Iing the Main street beat at night.
 At about S:30 Monday morning. tive men who were apparently members Of a club on the top floor of the building, desceinded the stairs with such force that they were precipitated through ths thick glass doorway. Policeman Edward Daley was in the vicinity and immediately laid hands on the pair be- fore they could extricate themselves from the debris.
 They were at once hauled to police headquarters where the matter was explained to the satisfaction of Lieut.. Philip Blansfeld,z who consented to their release from custody. Through omission of. the record of the event from the official blotter, the affair did not come to the attention of the day ocers with the result that the sup posed burglary was a matter of com mon talk about the streets and in off, cia1 circles
 Later Superintendent Birmingham became aware of the facts with the result that Captain John Began was asked to investigate. He found that Daley was highly efficient in the per- formance of his duty and had the glass been broken by real burglars would have had the pair in custody irnmedi- ately. Superintendent Birmingham last night scored the neglect to have the blotter completely written up and today asked for full explanations of why the matter had been kept from his attention.

that all first nights would be as smooth. Miss West thanked Bridge port for it's kindness to her and kiss ed hands to the audience MT. Thorn ton kept the house in laughter for several minutes and then begged them to tell him why they always laughed when he appeared as he was much concerned to find out whether it was at or with him, Miss DeWeaIe gave a charming little address of thanks. MT. Dwyer told how much at home he felt here, MT. Roland went through the motions of delivering an oration. but said nothing, and Mir. Swem who was introduced as '.one of the hardest working members of the cast, said that he was known as the player of small parts, thanked the audience and repeated a line from his first part here, Excuse it, please '' The only member of the cast who did not make a speech was Mir. Darney who had succeeded in secreting him self where no one could find him.
 Although we have left the play it. self to the last it was not by any means the least of the attractions of the evening. Humorous. charming and powerful, it successiveIy amused, pleased and gripped. Certainly it was one of the best which the com pany has attempted and it's perform ance was remarkably smooth.
 Miss Cleveland never had better part, nor one in which she showed greater talent than that of Maggie Schultz. MT. Sherman put much ear nestness and the whole of his ability into the part of Heinrich Schultz. Miss Emma DeWeale, in the remark ably fine Irish character part of Mrs. Bates did a whole family washing on the stage. Miss Violet Barney, whose magnificent gowns contrasted with the squa1id setting, gave a splendid interpretation of the aristocratic Mrs. Burke-Sraith. member of the four hundred. Miss Beverly West was Alice, her sweet and whole hearted niece, Edward Darney was Steve, the degenerate son of Mrs. Bates, Bern ard Thornton was Mir Howard, a friend of Mrs. Burke-Snith, Thomas Swem was Dr. Taylor, a settlement l worker; John T. Dwyer was Rafferty. a plain clothes tHcop'', and Fred Rol- and, Donovan, a detective.
 The scene of the play is confined to the home of Schultz in New York tenement It is a particularly fine play, one at which you can both laugh and cry and one which you will not forget
