CHAUNCEY OLCOTT IN HIS
MOST SUCCESSFUL PLAY

Chauneey Olcott, in his most sue
eessful play, 'The Heart Of Paddy
Whaek,' IS announced as the attrac-
ton at the Apollo Theatre this Fri
day and Saturday nights and Satur-
day matinee.
This delightful romance Of Ireland
IS as sweet and fresh as the dew la
den wild flowers of an Irish hillside
and gives Mr.. Olcott opportunities
for good acting that he never had in
any of his former productions. In
the role of the genial Irish bachelor,
whose pretty ward has returned from
school after an absence of years and
who finds himself facing the perplex-
ing problem of duty toward his charge
and the evident fact that his heart is
slipping into her keeping, Mr.. Olcott
is doing the cleverest and most arts
tic work of his whole career.
The Heart of Paddy Whack" is a
dainty love story possessing much
charm and appeal. 1t is peopled with
interesting characters, every one of
which is portrayed by a specially Sc
lected actor. The author has laid the
scene of the play in Ireland about
the year 1880, and the producers have
taken advantage of both locale and
period to introduce some handsome
scenic effects and quaint costumes,
making a number of unusual stage
pictures. During the performance
Mr.. Olcott will sing several songs,
among which will be Irish Eyes of
Love" "A Broth of a Boy" "a Little
Bit of Heaven" and "Who Knows?"
Messrs. Cohan & Harris have or
ganized a strong company for the
support of Mr.. Olcott, and among the
players will be Viola Fortescue, Ruth
Sinclair. Adelaide Cumming, Joseph
inc Williams, Married. Seymour, Belle
Bradish, Mary Callahan, Charles E.
Werner, Fleming Ward, Richard Quill
ter, George Brennan, George Lyding
and James Gillen.

SHIPPERS RESPOND
FREIGHT PLEA

INDIANAPOLIS. duly e.-Shippers
Of the state are responding encourag-
ingly to the plea of the public service
commission TO do everything possible
to improve the freight service of the
railroads and eliminate the freight con-
gestion. according to reports reaching
the commission today.
Shippers were advised to take the
following steps to do their part in
helping improve the freight situation:
Loading cars to maximum capacity
or ten per cent over: load promptly
and without delay: unload promptly
and take no advantage of the free time
allowance; stop delaying cars by re-
consignment: provide more switching
and setting cars; get heavier and more
systematic loading or so-cal1ed trap
cars. endeavoring to get customers to
increase orders to car load lot ship
ments; assemble less than a car load
shipment for one large shipment and
hold orders for equipment down to ac-
tual needs and prompt loading.
The commission is applying the same
means to the general freight condition
as was applied successfully to to the
claimed shortage of coal cars. Due to
the commissions efforts. the supply of
coal cars in the state has been in
creased from about so per cent to more
than 90.

The statement that mature men will

There is no intention to bar out appli-

examining officers have been instructed
TO regard the ages % to 35 most suit

INDIANA WOMEN
DISCREDIT THEM

PERU. IND, July 6.-Women who
have been picketing the White House
at Washington in the interests of the
suffrage cause. were severely scored
today by Mrs. Richard E. Edwards,
president of the Indiana Woman's
Franchise league in a statement to
The United Press.
The Woman Suffrage league OF In
diana has no connection with the or
ganization which picketed the White
House and it disapproves of these
methods as undignified, unnecessary
and disorderly," said Mrs. Edwards.
She pointed out how suffragists af-
filiated with the National American
Woman Suffrage association, of which
the Indiana organization is a unit. has
assisted the government in every way
possible through the national and state
councils of defense; by assistance at
registrat ton for selective service: in
selling liberty bonds and in the organ
ization for food conservation and Red
Cross work.
Patriotism and dignity would pre-
clude the Womans Franchise league
from countenancing the disorderly
methods used by women who in time of
war will cause unnecessary trouble for
our country. Mrs. Edwards deciar-

the husband had a number of witnesses
TO establish the fact that he was in
Union all the time. The coroner
stated that he has heard the greatest
portion of the evidence and believes
the woman committed suicide.
He said. however. that the contents
OF the womans stomach has not been
analysed as the county makes no pro-
vision for such procedure.
Il asked the family to bear the ex-
pense OF having the contents OF the

The information said to have prompt

feet that the body of the woman
showed she had been beaten about the
breast and shoulders and that the door
was locked from the outside. the key
being left above the door while all
