Delightful sketches from the most
popular of grand operas are rendered
by Madame Doree's opera company, as
the feature act at the Columbia thea
ire, Davenport, this week. There are
10 vocalists in the group and selec-
tons are given from 'Traviata, F."
Faust" and Lucia De Lammermoor"
for the first half of the weeks engage
ment and from III Trovatore" and
Carmen" for the last half. The rem
dition of the famous sextet number
from Lucia is especially pleasing and
shows to excellent advantage the re-
markable voices of the foreigners.
Special scenery and costumes are car
of the productions. Eva Tugby as Vio-
letta, Gina De Sanctis as Marguerite,
and Luigi Fini as Faust are the favor
ties. An augmented orchestra serves
to make the singing more enjoyable. A
Chinese act that is noteworthy is pre-
scented by Cheebert's Marvellous Man

He IS WRONG Man
Homer S. Orebaugh Taken on Warrant
for Family Desertion Issued in
District of Columbia.
THREE CHILDREN LEFT BEHIND
Accused Says His Brother, Not He. Is
Being Sought Under Indictment
Answers Description.

Rock Island police today arrested a
man at Seventeenth street and Third
avenue on bench warrant issued by
the supreme court of the District of
Columbia
The man claims to be Charles S. Ore
baugh. The warrant gives the name of
Homer S. Orebaugh. The prisoner de-
clares he is not the man wanted, but is
a brother of the accused. Photograph
of the defendant which accompanies
the indictment and bench warrant, po-
lice said, left no doubt in their minds
but that they had the right party.
The warrant was issued by the
United States supreme court on JAN
20. The charge preferred is refusal
to provide for the support and mainte-
nance o. his three children, Joseph,
aged Z. Genevieve, 5. and Margaret, 2.
Copies of the warrant and indictment
along with a description and photo
graph of Homer Orebaugh were receiv-
ed by the Rock Island police last week
from the police department at Wash
ington. A letter accompanying stated
! that Orebaugh had left for this city
] and intended to work for the Mark
Manufacturing company, 315 Safety
building.
Police watched closely for Orebaugh,
but not until today did they learn that
| he arrived. Officer Ginnane was de-
tailed by Chief Miller to apprehend
him.
! Turned Over to Federal Officers.
When he arrived at the station Ore
baugh stoutly denied that he is the
man named in the warrant. He de-
clared in loud tones that his brother is
the one under indictment. Police read
over the description and said that in
every detail the man they had arrested
| tailed.
Police know little of the case further
than the charge. No information was
sent, but coming from the supreme
court the case is considered of more
than usual Importance Orebaugh will
be turned over to the federal authori-
ties at Peoria.
