ON THE PALACE PROGRAMME
Mcintyre and Heath In Another Of
Those Blackface Turns.

Mcintyre and Heath continue at the
Palace Theatre this week, presenting
comparatively new act, entitled
waiting at the Church" In view Of
the laughter that greeted it, 1T would
perhaps be idle to assert that il is
less humorous than their previous Of
ferings. William Rock and Francis
White are also held over, their present
offering including a revival OF the old
Rock-Fulton ditty concerning the lady
and the ship. The current act is an
improvement upon that of last week,
principally because it gives the supple
Rock the opportunity for more dane
ing
Others on the programme are Bessie
Clayton, in an assortment Of dances;
Cecil Cunningham. Lew Dockstader,
Dooley and Sales, the California
Orange Packers, a japanese mystic and
tov shop act.

Mr.. Mckinney said Of the locals OF
the league in Summit. the Oranges,
Newark, Montclair and many other
towns in New Jersey that they would
break away from the national orgsnizs-
ton and the rule Of Mrs. Heath.
The Deputy State Attorney General
in his report states;
"A careful and impartial reading Of
the testimony shows that much that
Mrs. Heath has done is open to crltl-
cism. Her methods have been arbi-
trary and highhanded.
There may even be grave ques-
tion as to her good faith in creating
or causing TO be created various cor
porate bodies. which, while bearing
names so similar to that OF respondent
as TO be calculated 70 deceive the un-
wary, yet possessed powers and con-
ferred rights much more extensive
than any which the respondent might
assert under It's charter.
Mrs. Heath Elated.
Nevertheless, IL may we'll be doubt.
ed whether all these acts now under
examination have in any single in
stance represented more than Mrs
Heath's conception and belief Of proper
official duty; and fairness compels the
finding that Of actual and intentional
malfeasance in office on her part the
record is bare"
A thorough study OF Mr.. Obermeier',
report on the league is 20 be made by
Attorney General Woodbury. before q
! final disposition of the case is made.
Despite the wording OF the ruling
Mrs. Heath was much elated over the
outcome OF the case.

Report Pleases Housewives
Head-Surprises Counsel for
One of Opponents.

Though the work ~ Mrs. Julian W.
Heath, as head Of the Housewives
League, "is open TO criticism and her
conduct ingenious rather than in
genuous," there is no ground to war
rant the issuing Of 4 dissolution order
against the league by the State At
torney General.
This is the ruling Of Leonard j..
Obermeier, Deputy State Attorney Cen
eral, who heard the charges against
Mrs. Heath instituted last winter by
the insurgents" of New Jersey.
II was the contention Of many Of the
New Jersey members Of the league
that its affairs were being conducted by
Mrs. Heath for personal gain, and,
since it was an incorporated body, the
State Attorney General was asked TO
dissolve the national organization.
Mrs. Florence Yocum, chairman of the
East Orange local, was reported to be
at the head Of the fight.
Lawyer Surprised by Finding.
The report was accompanied by let
ter from the Deputy State Attorney
General to Frank X. Mckinney. who
represents Mrs. Yocum. 1t stated that
IN. Attorney General had directed that
il for any reason the lawyer desired
to be heard personally he would have
a hearing. The letter specifically said,
however, that this was solely for the
purpose of argument and not for the
production Of any testimony.
This communication, as well as the
report Of the Deputy State Attorney
General, came as a surprise TO Mr.. Nc
Kenney and a disappointment to the
New Jersey contingent.
"The report in itself" Mr.. Mckinney
declared, should be final. Ny surprise
is that the matter has evidently not
been passed upon by the Attorney Gen
eral. | cannot understand what good
the offer to present argument without
the privilege of producing testimony
would do. Everything had to say was
contained in my brief filed following
the preliminary hesring last winter,

PRIDE
Pride has some admirable syno-
nyms and many undesirable equiv
alents as 'pretense," bluff and
"snObbery."
Some men are proud because they
resemble Napoleon, some because
they can write John D" before their
sUrnames, some because they are
the fathers of 16 children! Isn't
pride sometimes the SILLIEST of all
seven sins?
On the other hand men may Just
ly have proper pride" in a family
which they have raised from poverty
to prosperity, or in some common
name which they have made to stand
out in the city directory.
This proper pride is a social sta
bilizer. Once an ambitious man has
been his OWN uplifter, and has &C
quired a certain social status, he will
make superhUman efforts to main
tain it. Such effort is constructive
and for the general good.
But the pride of man is a treach-
eroUs possession. 1t may act either
as a dynamo or as dynamite
In business it is often the motor
of success, but in the realm of the
affections is may hurI a man to de-
struction!
In matters of sentiment the pea
