CALLS GAUDY DRESS
FREE STREET PARADE.
Decline of Musical Comedy Is Laid
to the Show Seen Now in Public
Without Amy Charge.

KANSAS CITY, Mo.-Seymour
Rice. manager of the Grand opera
house, believes he has solved the
mystery of the decline of musical
comedy.
THE new styles in women's dress,
I believe, have had a great deal to do
with it," said Mr.. Rice. "Now, just
watch some of the women as they
pass up and down the streets; note
the short skirts; observe the brill
liant boots and hose.
You see, in former days men and
women went to the theatre and saw
girls in short skirts and high topped
fancy and brilliant shoes, with radi-
ant stockings, and the dress was
novelty.
people saw things on the stage
that were different. Women saw ex-
pensive boots that they wouldn' t
think of wearing themselves. They
saw short skirts that they wouldn' t
dare to wear. The men, Of course,
saw all these things, too.
"Well, with this free parade that
you can see on the streets any day
why should folk pay their way into
a theatre to see the same thing and
fewer of them? This show on the
street is endless and daring"

DRY FORCES START
A BACK-FIRE fight
PROHIS MAKING TROUBLE FOR
CONGRESSMAN WHO OPPOSE
THE SHEPPARD BILL.
HAROWlCK FOR LOCAL OPTION
Georgian Denies He Is in Favor of
Negro Suffrage in Washington. I'm

Question in Capital City to Voters.


WASHINGTON, D. C.-Prohibi-
ton forces in the country, led by the
Anti-SaloOn League, are starting
back-fire against their senator's and
representatives in congress who are
opposing the Sheppard bill for the
abolition of the manufacture and sale
of liquor in the District of Column
bia.
In the Southern states especial
hostility seems to have been aroused
by the amendment of Senator Under
wood, OF Alabama, for referendum
vote of the male citizens of the dis
trict on the subject of prohibition.
1t is called "a last desperate effort
% postpone the death of the whisky
traffic." in an open letter signed by
fifteen more or less prominent bust
ness men of Senator Underwood
home city of Birmingham.
MIR. Underwood frankly informs
US that he is going to do all he can
to pass this BILL" the letter continu-
ues. THAT the whiskey forces can
command the arrest support of a
senator from Alabama for this bad
last resort is warning to you and
to us. This bill is a mere whisky
serpent in the grass. Let us smash
it's head before it strikes
Would Exclude Negroes.
There are said to be 10000 adult
negro males in the district, who, if
allowed to vote, could presumably be
purchased by the whisky forces to
defeat prohibition. Senator John
Sharp Williams has proposed to eX-
clude these negro citizens by incor-
porating the word white" in Mr..
Underwood's bill.
This amendment will have the
hearty support of Senator Thomas
w. Hardwick, of Georgia. This is
his reply to the recent attack of Sam
w. Small, published in the newspa-
pers of Georgia, that Senator Hard
wick was for Acknowledgement in
Georgia and for negro suffrage in
Washington:
Il have always been a local op-
ZIONIST explained Senator Hard
wick. Il believe the people of each
locality should be consulted in re-
gard to their wishes as to whether
their home districts should be wet or
dry. Otherwise juries will not en-
force the laws. Applying that same
principle, I favor referendum vote
of the district on the question OF
prohibiting the manufacture and sale
of liquor in this city. 1t is my pur-
pose to vote to conffne this referen-
dunn to the white adult citizens iY-
ing here I shall therefore, support
the Williams substitute"
Mr. Underwood has declined to
comment on the Williams amend
ment. but it is known he feels that
referendum vote of white citizens
might be held unconstitutional.
Wilson For Local Option.
Advocates of the UnderWood-Wil-
fams proposal are pointing out that
President Wilson has espoused the
principle of local option in the set
tlement of the prohibition question
William J. Bryan also opposes in
jecting it into national political cam
paignS.

He HAD RAIN FOR SALE,
GOODS DELIVERED IS CLAIM
ATTORNEY RULES THAT CITY
MUST PAY MAN $4,000 FOR
FILLING MORENA DAM.

LOS ANGELES, CaI.-The suppo-
sition that rains comes down because
it listeth is officially refuted in San
Diego, where $4,000 may have to
be paid out of the city treasury by
way of shattering the old belief that
Mother Nature is responsible.
The city attorney has ruled that
the city must pay Charles Hatfield
that sum for filling the Morena dam.
Hatfield is a rain maker. He went
to San Diego some weeks ago and
spoke somewhat as follows:
Il notice you don't have very much
of an average rainfall here. would
like to make rain for YOU
Fill Moreno DAM" said the coun-
cilmen, and thy all laughed. Morena
dam had never been more than a
third filled.
"All right, said Hatfield, "for
$4,000"
Still laughing they agreed.
Hatfield erected his tower near the
dam, put his galvanized iron tanks
on top of them, wrapped the tanks
with tar paper, and poured in his
chemical fluid He was off in the
mountains and the city forgot him.
Some time later the councilmen
were measuring the treasury re-
sources and thinking about appropri-
ations-but never about the $1O,-
0O0-when it began to rain%

a CLEVER MOONSHINER
IN THE HEART OF ATLANTA
Illicit Distillery Was a Success Unit
Owner Took on Beer.


Owner Took ON Beer.
ATLANTA Moonshiners of the
North Georgia mountains, said to be
the cleverest in the world, can take
lesson from Marvin MCGEE, OF At
lanta, who has been arrested by the
federal authorities following the dis
covery of a hidden still which they
declare was the most intelllgently
concealed they have ever known.
MCGEE has a home on the Ada
vile road, in a thickly settled subur-
ban neighborhood, where he operated
the still unknown to his nearest
neighbors and most intimate friends.
He had a secret room Immediately
beneath the fireplace of the house,
and in it the still was concealed. 1t
was so arranged that fiue connected
it with the fireplace and chimney
above, so that the heat and smoke all
passed out of the same chimney.
If McGee hadn't taken up beer as
a side line he might never have been
caught. but he made the mistake OF
storing Is barrels of beer IN MS
house. and this led to suspicion and
a thorough search.

gas production except in a few cases
where the royalty has been forced to
one-fourth of the gas flow. The one
eighth royalty means that on the
gamblers bet that brings in 1900
barrel oil we'll the land owner will
reap a reward of $50 barrels a day.
At the present price of about $1.35
a barrel the profit is large enough.
Except the royalty the lease houlder
gets the rest. The expense of pump
ing the oil is small.
Gamblers in the oil and gas game
must know the geological formation
of the territory upon which they are
betting, just as the man at table
must know the value of the cards
and how to play them. The anti-cline
is the all-important thing in an oil
field. 1t is bend in the earth's for
nation, with the convex upward.
When a drill is sunk too near the
outer or lower edge of the bend it is
almost sure to bring a f1ow-not of
oil or gas, but of salt water. Oil
usually is present, if at all, in the
particular anti-cline in the higher
part of the arch.
Residents of the favored region are
extravagant with gas. There is so
much of it that in Augusta and Ell
Dorado the city officials do not take
the trouble to have the street lights
turned out in the day time. In the
private homes lights are left burning
long hours. However, it must be re-
membered that the gas costs only a
cents a thousand cubic feet, so the
bill cannot be large.
Augusta gas wells supply the city
lights, the streets, homes, stores, fac
tories and public buildings and lately
started furnishing about 100000
cubic feet daily.
