One of the most artistic presenta-
tons in the vaudeville world is being
offered at the odeon. theater: 1t is the
Garrison Sisters novelty posing act,
with special scenery and electrical eff

son, the most perfectly formed girl in
.America-so New York physical cul-

seen here.
There are also two other splendid
acts Of vaudeville on the bill for the

last two days of their engagement
here being THE Sunshine Girls in
Court" and it promises to be a good
one. This clever little company has
made big hit here and will long
be remembered by Palace patrons.
Every member of the company is a
professional. The comedy work is en-
tirely different from the tabloids that
have played the Palace, and the sing
ing part of the show is very good. 1t
is splendid little show all around
and well worth seeing.

gramme for financial relief to the city
as means Of reimbursing the state
for allowing the city TO receive the tax
levied on the transfer Of stocks in the

believed the income Of the state would
have been greater by nearly A.OOO.OOO

By the process Of elimination decided
that Robert Mckay, william Warham
and William Dupree, three of Rey

To avoid detection. a truck was hired.
Fennelly was chosen as driver. Bir-

a South Brooklyn pier Mckay and
Warham started their trucks. loaded,
for the ferry. Fennelly steered his

in turn. was followed by another Rey-
nolds truck. empty. driven BY Dupree.
After Mckay and Warham got their
trucks on the Hamilton ferryboat there
was room for only one more. Dupree
deserted his charge and came as pas
senger.
The detective-driver sought the
warmth Of the cabin From their peep
holes the detectives in the cases say
they saw Dupree pick up four sacks of
cocoa beans. two each being dropped By
Mckay and Warham from their trucks.
These were thrown IN the wagon along
side Of the cases IN which they were.
Fennolly says Duprce then approached
him IN the cabin and made a PROPOSE
ton 20 have Fennelly carry the bags on
his wagon for quarter The bargain
was made
As the three trucks approached
Broadway at Whitehall Street, Dupree
smashed Fennelly and jumped, after
Fennelly told him he was under arrest.
While Fennelly was sending several
stop convlncers from his automatic re-
volver after Dupree. the other two de-
