ORPHEO THEATRE.

Today-"The Millionaire Baby" Who stole "The Millionaire Baby?"
 Did the plotting Dr. Pool finally ac- complish his bold determination? Did Valerie Carew, former queen of bur- lesque, conquered by mother love, seize an advantageous opportunity y and spirit away her loved one? Did Marion Ocumpaugh have knowledge of Gwendolyn's .disappearance? Did Justin Carew, finally recognizing his wife and desiring a reconciliation, see the light and kidnap his own child?
 A woman misguidedly believed that gold could bring sunshine and happi- ness into a childless home; could wield successful power to deceive !; could buy the bright presence and the happy voices of children; could win the man into leve or home and proud fatherhood.
 Instead of all these things the gold brought misery and woe unutterable: {: it placed the woman in the power of an interruptions villain it snatched a beloved babe from it's mothers breast; and reconciliation and true happiness only came after years of dread and misunderstanding.

BEST THEATRE.

Tomorrow-"Kindlin the photo dramatizaIion of which is the vehicle in which Charlotte Walker makes her first appearance on the screen. It tells the story of q woman of the tentrents who helps a, thief to rob the house where she is employed in order that she may get the money to leave the crowded city and bar a child under more healthful and nor mai conditions.
 "Kindling," though it does not ad- vocatc socialism, is a terrible attack on those rich property holders who, while pretending to be charitably in clined, force their tenants to live under the most unsanitary conditions. t is not a "eugenic"s play, but it deals vary plainly with the necessity of giv- ing children who are brought into the world fair chance in life.

EAST BARRAQUfS ST.;
 PROPERTY OWNERS
 PLANIMPROVfMfNI
Propose to Macadamize the Street, Paying Cash for
 Work.

Efforts to secure the improvement of East Barraque street, east from Nebraska, have resulted in the filing in the county court of a petition to create Road Improvement district No. II. The plan is to build macadam street without the issuance of bonds each property-owner paying his pro- rata of the cost in lump sum. Il has been found that this is the most economical plan when it is possible to make improvements in this way.
 The proposed district will begin at Nebraska, and extend on Barraque to Kansas, and south on Michigan to the Cotton Belt tracks in Third ave nue. A movement is also under way to form another district to complete the road to Fourth avenue, thence east along the railroad tracks to the Doris B. compress.
 County Judge Philpot has designat- ed September 15 as the date for con- ducting hearing on the petition which is signed by F. A. Bluerock, J, c. Curlin, G. w. Shinalt, Joe Was koski, Jerry Borecky and about 5C other property owners.

First "Game Law."

The first "game law" for tho proteo uon of wild animals and birds was enacted in 1068 by William the Con. QucroN This decree Of tho Norman king was called forest law, but it's principal purpose was sAc preserva. ion of game. Forfeiture of property was made a penalty for killing or dis abling any kind of wild beast. while the slayer of stag, buck or boar. If convicted, had his eyes put out These laws, of course, applied only to the masses. since the royalty and no Sility were permitted to kill as much as they pleased in fact. the princi pal purpose of the pioneer game law was to provide sport for the few. The first parliamentary game law in Eng. land was passed in 1498. Game laws In America have become increasingly strict of late years. but. they wers adopted too late to save many species. notably the buffalo. from almost com nlete extinction.

A Safe. Side

It's good deal better to be safe than, to Joe sorry. That's why it is good to be on the safe side by saving a little money.
 It often happens that little sav- ings account at the bank has carried people over times when they would have been mighty sorry without it. No matter how small your earnings, pinch out a little and put it in the bank. It will grow and you will take pride in seeing it increase and thank ful that you started.

RIVER REMAINS
 STATIONARY HERE
 AT STAGE OF 24.S
Prediction Is That Flood Will Begin Today to Re-
 cede Slowly.

The Arkansas river yesterday again disappointed the forecasters, by not rising above the level of PAS it reached the day before, and by re- maining virtually on stand.
 The belief is held here that but for the high stage of the Mississippi at this time,- and the local rains of the past day or two, the river would have really undergone fall. As it is. the latest forecast is for the river to fall slowly the next few days.
 There was no change in the local conditions yesterday. Nothing out Of the ordinary occurred, there was no sign of caving banks, and the city and federal authorities contented them selves with watching the situation.
 Above and below the city it is said there has been considerable caving of the banks at several places, but so far as could be learned last night, the high water has caused no great dam age anywhere, except the damage suf- fered by crops in the submerged low lands when the high water first made it's appearance in this section.
 Really Accommodating.

"Er-how abo1t your sam pie eases? !" faltered an awad listener. "Oh," suavely replied the salesman. the cyclone landed them just ahead of me and had my goods all spSead out on display when got thera"

pearance in Chicago being in amateur tournaments. Later he turned profes- siona1 and was a useful artist.
 'One night in an amateur tourna- ment at the Chicago A. A. Sie1on was boxing in the lightweight class. Op- posed to him in one of the bouts was the ta11est lightweight I ever saw. He must have been close to six feet. For two rounds he pumped his left on to Otto's nose until it looked like a good sized. healthy beet.
 ''This angered Otto. and he made a wild rush, catching the giant full in the midrif with a heavy right.
 With a despairing gasp the long fe1- low sat down suddenly, completely spent. In that sitting position he was counted out, but to the vast amuse- ment of the crowd the beaten man then was shown to be almost as tall as the sQuatty German who had hit him.
 "Sieloff boxed Danny Duane, a cork ing good New York boxer, one night over at old Brands hall. Danny had heard much of the Sfe1off wa1lop and covered up for five rounds, while Sic 1of whaIed away at his turtle like cov- ering. Danny hoped to make a whirI- wind finish in the sixth round
 'tBut the first time Danny came out of his shell and attempted to lead at the German Otto cracked him on the jaw and put him down as cold as a wedge. Danny never amounted to much after that''

Imagine the surprise and excitement in the grounds when Evans whirIed about and deIib- erate1y threw as straight as an arrow at the base runner. The pitchers aim was perfect, and the ball struck the runner just back of the ear, stretching him unconscious on the base path A riot almost followed, and Evans was lucky to escape without being mobbed- On the way back to the hotel Man sager McCredie said: What were you thinking of, you big lunkhead?''
 You told me to bean him. didn't you?' replied Evans. ''Why didn't you say the batter? I thought you meant the base runner "

Umpires as Lenient as
 Possible With Grabbing
 Men, Says Johnny Evers

JOHNNY EvERs ought to know
 what constitutes a good umpire. He has had words with many of them, and frequently the argument has reached such a heated stage that John ny has been ordered to the shower bath. He therefore seems especially well fitted to define a good umpire' Here is the definition:
 Good umpires are governed by the interests of baseball as a sport, the in terests of the league, the interests of the spectators, and, lastly, but far from being least, by the demands of their dignity while officiating in baseball games. They give players as much 1eeway as they can before putting them out of the game or off the field.
 q know that if I attended a theater and the star was put off the stage in the middle of the second act I would be among the first to protest. Don't baseball fans pay to see the stars playing? Certainly they don't pay to see the stars chased from the field.
 Never in all my career have I kick ed at a decision purposely to be put out of a game because was tired of playing or wanted to go some place; in fact, have never left the clubhouse or the grounds after being banished until the game was over. I have all ways waited to get the final result.'

EVANS CARRIED OUT RESTRICTIONS

PROBABLY the 'boniest' bonehead
 play ever witnessed on the base ball diamond is that accredited to Rube Evans, a southpaw pitcher, who has pitched in almost every minor league of note in this country and earned a nation wide reputation as 8 squirrel 9 His most amusing stunt was witnessed when he was pitching for Portland a few years ago.
 At that time the squeeze play was at tracting considerable notice because of the manner in which the Philadelphia Athletics were successfully employing this intricate bit of baseball strategy. The opposing teams were using the play with such regularity and marked success that Manager McCredie was in a. rage when runners were on third with none or one out.
 Finally after the squeeze play had been worked on Evans twice in one in- ming, McCretie said:

and lets loose some side splitting re- marks that save the day.
 Furthermore, Schaefer has broken into the lineup quite regularly so far and has played fine ball. He always was a star fielder, and always will be. And he has been hitting well. He's not so fast on the bases as he was earlier in his career, but he has shown up as a valuable man to have around for utility work, for Schaefer can play the outf1eId as well as the inf1eld.
 Schaefer is a drawing card. Already he has won the hearts of the Newark bleacherites, and hundreds of them go daily to the park not so much because they want to see the ball game, but be- cause they want to see Schaefer per

earnest and even that the excitement was intense.
 Early in the second round the speedy Fagin, laying for the chance, sneaked his right over to the jaw, and down went SfeIoff as flat as could be. Fagin seemed to take it that it was all over, as he posed theatrically in front of his fallen foe while the referee was to1Ifng off the count.
