CHICAGO-Federal authorities to-
day said the international |. w. w.
headquarters here were planted with
small fry yesterday when the place
was raided, so that many important
members Of the organization escaped.
A search for the men who eluded the
raiders has been extended into other
cities. 1t is reported here that George
Van Deveer of Seattle is en- route here
with staff of assistants.
Haywood in the Tolls
The raid on Friday included the in
dictment in the federal courts of 166
leaders and members of that organiza-
ton, and the prompt arrest of more
than 100 of them, including William D.
Haywood, the general secretary and
treasurer.
Haywood and the others were
brought in in motor cars driven by
society members of the navy relief
society, who fbr weeks have put their
automobiles at the call of the agents
of the department of justice.
Haywood was held in $25,00O bond
and the others of lesser weight in the
organization at $4,000.
Criminal conspiracy" is the charge.
Plenty Of German Money
Evidence of liberal contributions OF
German money to the organization and
the predominance of AustrianS in
its ranks form the startling features
of the jury's findings.
Indictments are understood to be
based upon revelations brought to
light in the recent countrywide seiz-
ure by, federal authorities of docu-
ments and approximately so towns and
cities.
These documents are understood to
have revealed the existence of con-
spiracy, the most far reaching in its
scope of any yet uneathed, to embar-
rass the government in the prosecution
of the war by resistance to the draft
law, by fomenting labor disturbances,
by burning crops and forests and in
numerous other ways.

DANCERS, ATTENTION!

With two orchestras, Murray's and
the Singing McEnellys, competing for
the popular favor at the Quilty'S
Thursday evening, the Colonial ball
room promises to offer more for the
dancers of the city at one price Of adj
mission than any other dance ever
given here: Murray's is the regular
Colonial ball room orchestra playing
for nearly all Of the regular socials
and receptions. The .1cEnellys have
been frequent visitors to the Colonial
since it was first opened by Prof.
GUILTY There have been many ar
guments as to which is the better and
more popular, but until now there
has been no way of deciding. When
the McEnellys were here Monday ev-
ening and Prof. GUILTY learned that
the engagement was cancelled he de-
cided to give a grand double bill Of
dancing Thursday night with Murray's
and the Singing McEnellys to furnish
the music and continuous dancing.
When one orchestra stops the other
will commence. Dancing from $3.50
until midnight without intermission
ought to be an attraction for those
who never tire of the amusement. Pop
ular prices of admission will prevail

LYRIC

Despite disagreeable travelling con-
ditions and inclement weather ca
plcity house witnessed the initial
performance of Excuse Me" at the
Lyric theatre, last evening, and judg-
ing from the shouts of laughter that
arose every other minute those pres
ent must have enjoyed the play. In
deed they could do little else for the
lines and situations in the piece have
been provocative Of amusement ever
since the play was written and one
can see it again and again and still
laugh at the many humorous passes.
In addition to the regular members
of the Lyric Stock Co. the cast has
been augmented until it numbers
more than 80 people. Besides this
Manager Isham succeeded in pro-
curing the scenery sed in the orig
inal production in New York. The
scenery Was perfect and was the best
stage set of a railroad train ever seen
in this city The action of the piece
takes place aboard the train and be-
sides it's novelty is one of the clever
est comedies ever written.
Miss Frances McGrath and David
Herblin,. central figures in the cast,
put every ounce Oi dUlIIy III IIlcIII III
to theTplay and their whirlwind lead
was followed by the other members
of the company. The production was
spicy from the start and left nothing
to- be desired. William Evarts has
! a. very enjoyable comedy part and
Bernard Thornton simply cleans
house at every appearance. He is
more than funny and at several times
the roars Of laughter at his sallies and
quibs held up the performance.
There hasn't been anything better
in this city for many moons and there
is no reason why everyone who en-
joys good plays artistica1ly produced
should not see Excuse Me-" There
will be matinees on regular days and
popular prices are the rule. The
Hawaiian singers, who appear be-
tween the acts; are as worthy of at
tention as any vaudeville feature to
play here in months.
