STREET CAR MEN
ATTENDED SHOW AS
.C0MPANY's GUESTS
THIRTY MEMBERS OF THE RED
TEAM, WHO WON OVER THE
BLUES, WITNESS THE PER-
TORRANCE.

Thirty members of the Red team Of
street railway employees were guests
of the management of the Pensacola
Electric Company at the opera house
last night and witnessed the perform
ance of ''The Eternal MagdaIene."
The Red team won over the Blues
in the last period, scoring a lower
percentage of accidents than their
adversaries and had the option of a
dinner at the San Carlos or attending
the performance at the opera house.
Inasmuch as they had formerly been
the eompany's guests at the San Car
los they decided to witness the play.
The electric company always re-
wards the winning team with some
kind of an entertainment at the end
of each period.

made it appear likely that General
Pershing would break his fifth day of
silence regarding operations such of
Casas Grandes by rendering an &C
count of the engagement at FL 0so.
Until now the operations against
Villa have been nothing more than
campaign of location. Three cavalry
detachments have been working
southwark along widely separated
trails, but the opportunity for direct
chase now is offered, it was indicated
by staff officers who have followed
the details of the pursuit.
It was not believed here that the
Americans would allow Villa to get
out of their sight again and that his
capture or death appeared more likely
than at any other time. General Per
shing, it was believed, would concen-
trate as many of his men as possible
in a pursuing force, relieving those
who have been riding the country
south of Casas Grandes.
Nothing new was learned here a
the reported uprising of General Luis
Herrera.

In spite of the Lenten season, or
perhaps because of religious signif-
canoe, a large audience greeted Clara
Joel last night in the Robert Nc
Laughlin play, 'The Eternal Magda-

adequate to the part she played,
which is saying much in her praise,
was supported by Wilson Reynold,
Helena Rapport, George Wright, Jr.,
Helen Judson, Malcolm Arthur, Al

When the play opens it is night in

today continued his investigation of
the financial affairs of Arthur W.
Waite. Mr.. Mancuso intends to ques-

Mrs. Waite is recovering from her
recent illness. She has not seen any

dav that Mr.. Mancuso expects to
again question her regarding Waite's

strain. She has declared on several
occasions that she believes her hus-

Dentist, Accused of Causing
Death Wife's Father,
Makes Statement.
az ASSOCIATED PRESS.

BY A66OGlAIED EhEsSC.
New York, March 24.-Dr. Arthur
Warren Waite, dentist and champion
tennis player, accused of poisoning his
father-in-law, John E. Peck, wealthy
drug manufacturer of Grand Rapids,
Mich, today denied the charge in his
first statement since the order issued
by the district attorney for his ar
rest.
He made the denial to Assistant
District Attorney George F. Brothers,
who examined him at his apartment
on Riverside drive where he lay in
bed recovering from the effects of
strong drugs which he took yesterday.
DR.. Waite admitted, according to
Mr.. Brothers, that he had put some
thing into Peck's soup some time prior
to his death, but declared that it was
medicine and that DIR. A. A. Moore,
the physician, who attended Peck dur
ing his illness, had instructed him to
employ this method of giving the pa
tent medicine because Peck had COM
planned that it was bitter and had
refused to take it.
Mr.. Brothers announced that Waite
would be removed, to Bellvue hospital,
a prisoner, later in the day. His CON
dition was not yet such as to permit
his removal to the Tombs prison.
Meanwhile it was announced at the
district attorneys office that the name
of druggist who sold arsenic to
Waite had been learned and that the
druggist would soon appear before the
grand jury which today continued its
consideration of the case.
Soon after DR.. Arthur Warren
Waite accused Of poisoning his father
in-law, John E. Peck, wealthy drug
manufacturer of Grand Rapids, Mich.
had denied the charge today, District
Attorney Swami announced that he
had obtained voucher from a drug
gist signed with Waite's name for the
purchase of a quantity of arsenic on
March 8, three days before Peck's
death.
/ ENOUGH TO KILL SEVERAL.
District Attorney Swami said the
druggists record showed that Waite
had purchased enough arsenic to kill
several men. DIR. Waite made his
denial of poisoning his father-in-law
to Assistant District Attorney Broth
ers who, in reporting to Mr.. Swami,
said he had questioned Waite as to
the purchase of arsenic on March 9.
I Waite denied that he had ever pur-
chased arsenic in his life, but when
informed of the druggists record and
the receipt for the arsenic signed with
his name, became suddenly glum and
refused to talk" Brothers reported.
The district attorney also examined
Miss Catherine Peck, the aged sister
of the drug manufacturer, and an
nounced he had learned from her and
from an investigation Of DR.. Waite's
financial activities that he had mis-
used 10000 entrusted by Miss Peck
to him for investment.
! According to the district attorney
Miss Peck said she had given the
$4,000 to Waite to invest in mort
gage bonds, but instead of doing so
he had used $4,000 in speculative
account with Wall Street brokers, and
sent $4,000 to his brother, Clyde E
Waite, in Grand Rapids.

you can before it is too late"
Senator Ashurst said he knew Rich
ardson and regarded his information
as authoritative.
II am giving this telegram for pub
hcation," said Senator Ashurst, "and
viii not even submit it to the senate
because it would be useless. I am
tired of trying to get anything done.
