COLONIAL

George Casselton with Babe Stewart
and a bunch Of pretty girls slipped
into town Sunday and yesterday after
noon began to tickle the fifth rib of
everyone who had the good sense to
drop in at the Colonial Theatre. Last
night there was a good crowd on hand
and as soon as the curtain went up
the fun started. George Casselton as
the French Count was real Frenchy.
George Hoff as the Dutch Comedian
made a decided hit. as did also Char
icy Golden in Hebrew character. Lit.
lie Matty Fenner as a toe dancer is
nearly a wonder, but as a sweet little
girl with t1axen curls he is the cream
for looks. Bobby" Hickman. Ella
Rex. Lillian Young, Many Perry and
Eva Taylor are a hard working bunch
of chorus girls. They al sing and
dance and have the looks. shape. size,
Viewed from all angles this is one
OF the best shows that has been put
on at the Colonial this season. The
skit is full Of novelties, such as the
disappearing hat, and vanishing
clothes. Capacity houses is what they
deserve. . .a HMg "a

WADE WINS WAY BACK
TO POLICE CHAPLAINCY
Ousted by Waldo, He Fights 3
Years for Reinstatement

After a fight OF more than three
years the Rev. John A. Wade. Of the
Church Of ST. John the Evangelist. was
yesterday restored By Commissioner
Woods 10 his old place as chaplain IN
the Police Department.
Mi Wade was dismissed by Police
Commissioner Waldo IN 1912. He
claimed the Comm issioner desired only
Catholic chaplains to take part in the
police parade The day after he called
on the Commissioner to protest against
this alleged order he was told that his
services were no longer needed In the
department
Commissioner Woods said that the
reinstatement was due 10 the fact that
the clergyman was needed in the de-
partment.
Immediately after dismissal Mr. Wade
appealed 10 Mayor Gaynor. He accused
Waldo OF making q grandstand play
for the Catholic vote ia case ~ should
run for Mayor Later Mr.. Wade de-
livered a broadside az Mayor Gaynor
and Mr. Waldo from the pulpit
Finding that he could get no salts
faction from city officials, the dismissed
clergyman turned to Charles $. Burch,
Sufragan Bishop OF the Protestant
Episcopal Church, and George F. Mel
son, srchdeacon, who, after an investi-
CATION, eXonerated him.

TENNESSEE COPPER
IN ACID CONTEST
international Agricultural Cor
poration Finds Deliveries or
SulDhuric Difficult.

Wall Street found an explanation
Yesterday for the recent weakness Of
the stocks Of the international Agri-
cultural Corporation and the Tennessee
Copper Company on the Stock Tx
change in a report that the latter cor
poration might be forced 10 close its
sulphuric acid plant at Copper Hill,
Tenn, for three months. This an
nouncement was made early in the day
and the shares Of both companies suf-
Sered further declines from those Of
Thursday.
Then followed conflicting statements
from the officials Of the two corpora
lions. whose relations have been IN
innate through a contract made with
the Tennessee Copper Company by the
International Agricultural Corporation
bv which the latter obtains the sui
phuric acid output OF the former Late
dovelopments indicated. however, that
different interpretations OF this con-
tract are being made By the two con-
Germs.
A statement By Utley Wedge, presi-
dent Of the copper company. tele-
phoned to one of the directors In TINS
city. denied that the sulphuric acid
plant has been shut down for three
months.
NO department OF the company Is
shut down for three months said Mr..
Wedge. mo statement has been made
10 this effect, or, authorized by any OIL
ficer Of this company. In al depart
ments we are arranging for Increased
production"
A brisk recovery in Tennessee Cop
per followed this announcement Later
s. B. Fleming. president OF the inter-
national Agricultural, issued a state
ment saying that Mr.. Wedge had not
stated the facts. and he produced a let
ter written % him under date OF jan
uary by Mr. Wedge which speaks
for itself l. is, in part, as follows:
contingencies beyond the control Of
the Tennessee Copper Company VIII
make il impossible for some months

phuric acid from our plant az Copper

vices 10 YOU | received last evening

feel 10 NY duty TO notify you that cur
deliveries for some time will be very
materially reduced, in any event, and
that we shall probably be obliged 20
shut down our acid plant for some con-
siderable period"
The fight between the two companies
over the terms OF the contract promises
to be one of the most bitter the street
has witnessed In years. Ii Is believed
by many that the matter will finally
reach The courts.

Burglars Blow Open St. Paul

St. Paul, Jan. Approximately a
million dollars worth Of negotiable in
ternal revenue stamps, postage stamps
and several thousand dollars in cash
were stolen last night by robbers who
blew open a vault in the old Federal
Building. at Fifth and Wabash streets,
gathered UP the loot and escaped with
out arousing alarm.
The robbers rejected a large guam
tity Of stamps that were Unacceptable.
The robbery was not discovered IN
Ill the building was opened for bust
ness to-day. IL will be two days before
+ J Lynch, revenue collector, in whose
Office the robbery was committed, can
determine the exact amount obtained
by the criminals.
Robert W Blair, internal revenue
agent. said he believed the robbers
would have great difficulty in csshing
the revenue stamps, especially the
larger denominations, as record is
kept Of persons buying stamps Of 800
value and over. lie thought the men
would be able 70 realize little more
than 10 per cent OF the face value Of
the stamps. or approximately 100000.
On the postage stamps. Rush d. Sim

the robbers could realize abou; 70 per

back 70 back. The upper spring IL slight,
" the shorter. but between that and
the lower spring there Is placed what
carriage gear makers call Wooue"
er, out TO q curve and with pro
jecting ends.
On the right side. the springs are
attached 20 simple pins on the axle
and frame respectively, while each
spring Is shackled on the other end.
Taking a bump which is equal on both
wheels. both springs operate together,
and as they compress, they come more
and more in contact with the wooden
bolster. This spreads the width OF
support. and by thus effectively
shortening the spring, stiiiens IL IN
proportion TO the violence OF the
shock.
A natural expectation, however,
would be shat q car so equipped would
be liable to roll. while as an actual
fact there are few 80 innocent OF this
fault as is the new Marmon. Tho
exclamation is, that one spring beng
shorter tkan the other, their periods
are different, and one damps out the
