STATE STREET SHOW HOUSES
DOING BIG BUSINESS.
BY Karl Monte.

Goldberg, through one of his landlord
characters in the Daily News, says he
can never find his tenants at home so
he has to 90 to the theatre to collect
his rent. One night on the "Stroll'
is sufficient to convince one that there
NAV be, after all, some logic in this
comic saying. At any rate it can be
safely said that in the midst of these
war-like panicky times no State street
manager of any one of the picture or
vaudeville houses will resort to the
well-known subterfuge of son account
of the war" his business is not good,
or that there is no business at all.
In every one of these houses all pa
irons are cordially received and every
thing possible is done to contribute to
their comfort, by each house attache,
from the owner on down. Modern
ventilating apparatus are installed,
opera seats with hat rests attached,
elevations in the rear, congenial ushers
ever at your service, as well as door
men and, nearly every instance, an
orchestra for your entertainment and
to increase your imagination while
you gaze upon the screen. Nor are
these any second-rate pictures by any
means that are shown in these first
rate south side houses. As, for in
stance at the States, south of 35th St.,
where may be seen, from time to time
such performers of renown as Theda
Bara, Robert Edison, VIM. Farnum,

Of the States it might be we'll to men
ton that their orchestra is one of the
real drawing cards Of that well-known

spacious and is as comfortable both

Council Republican candidate for
Judge Superior Court Judicial
Monday, 5.

Alderman Henry Utpatel, Republi-
can candidate for Judge of the Su-
perior Court, full term, was born in
this city, April %, 1870, on the North
west side, his parents hailing from
that good sturdy German-American
stock who have accomplished so much
for the upbuilding of this city and
the United States in general, during
his boyhood days he attended the Ger
man Evangelical Lutheran Parochial
school Of the st. Johns Evangelical
Lutheran church, of which he is still
a constant member, always being very
ambitious to get ahead in this world.
At an early age he found employment
with fire insurance company, ,hustling
for outside business part of The time
and the rest of the time doing Office
work on the inside.
In order to complete his education,
he attended night schools for many
years so that he could obtain the edu-
cation which was denied him in his
youth, for even at that time he fully
realized that nothing goes ahead of
education in this world when it comes
right down to imparting power and in
fluence to those who never permit
themselves to rest until they have
finally succeeded in climbing to the
very top round Of the ladder which
leads on up to fame and fortune.
In time Alderman Utpatel decided
to study law and while faithfully
and konorably serving as the chief
bookkeeper in one of the largest fire
insurance offices in this city, he at
tended law school at night, graduating
from the law school in 1900, at which
time he was admitted to the Bar and
he has very successfully practiced his
chosen profession from that time to
the present, making a special study of
Municipal government.
For the. past eight years, Alderman
Utpatel has been one Of the very valu-
able members of the City Council from
the 18th Ward. Among his activities
in that body he fought against street
grabs by large corporations; fought the

FLORIDA NUNS WILL TEST Law
Three Who Teach in Private School
for Negro Children Are Arrested.

ST. Augustine, Fla.-The law recently
enacted in Florida prohibiting Whites
from teaching in Negro schools Is re-
eeiving its first test here in the case Oh
three Sisters of st. Joseph's Convent
who were arrested by the sheriff, act
inc under instructions from Governor
Trammen. They have been conducting
q school for Negro children IN tner
priyate building on De Haven street.
Sister Mary Thomasine, Sister Mary
scbolastica and Sister Mary Beningus
were the three nuns arrested and when
thew were brought before Judge jack
SON the court ordered them released on
their own recognizance. Sister Mary
Tbomasine refused to accept her re-
loase and she is being held a prisoner
at the convent, in custody of Father
o 'Brien.
When the law was enacted by the
Florida legislature, the Sisters OF 81
Josenb consulted eminent lawyers as
to the constitutionality of the law. 1t
was the unanimous opinion of the law
vers consulted that the law was I'M
constitutional and so the school was
continued. The nuns have been teach
ing schools for Negro children IN St.
Augustine for several generations,
their work being entirely gratuitous
and their only object the educational
and religious guidance of the Colored
youth.
They were not interfered with ever
after the passage of the law, until
some weeks ago petition was sent tC
Governor Trammell, advising him thai
the law was being violated. This petl
ton was evidently for the purpose Of
bringing about test case on the con
stitutionality of the law.
The case cannot be handled IN tn
local courts as it is a state law, ant
so it will come before the Clrem
Court at this term. 1t will probably
be carried through the State Supreme
Court to the United States Supreme
Court before it is finally settled.

HEALTH NOTES.

For the seond time within a few
months, the police in the West Chica-
90 Avenue district have arrested and
procured a fine for a violator of quar-
antine for scarlet fever. Peter Ben
denak was arrested recently while
breaking quarantine at $50 Bismarck
street. A ten dollar fine resulted.
The hand of the law is properly
doubled as a fist to punish, or closed
in a grip to restrain the criminal; but
the fellow who errs from ignorance,
without real malice or intent to defy
the law, is usually given a chance by
the Department of Health to make
good his real attitude.
In breaking quarantine, a man al
most always acts with 4 full knowledge
of his wrongdoing. To run the risk of
spreading scarlet fever, diphtheria or
smallpox among innocent people, with
an entire comprehension of the danger
involved in the act, is criminal self
ishness in the superlative degree. 1t
should always receive the limit of PEN
atty and then some, "for good meas
ure." The ten dollar fine in the above
case does not represent adequate pun
ishment, of course, but emphasizes the
principle involved.
A man who will knowingly break
quarantine and thereby endanger his
fellows is a poor type of citizen. He
is bad neighbor in time of peace and
not to be relied upon in time of war.
