Here is where the acting profession
gets 4 WALTON at the newspaper men.
1t is really . shame to take the
money, but the opportunity is too
good to miss. FOR some time, the al
legged critics have been writing us up
sometimes calling us down. l have
never had a chance to tell the public
what | think of the reporters as re-
pOrte.s, but row, | got EN- in my
own back yard, SO to speak, as it
We're, and we have out our pots and
pars-especially pans.
The proposal that | write up the
Press Club play came from member
of the press. He thought it would be
appropriate tc have it done by a
meml er of my honorable craft, and
gleefully, | consented. My well trained
face did not betray to HIM my inten
tons. | subdued my well modulated
voice as 1 politely agreed to turn

The city editor, who is looking

stage, I'll tell HIN a few things about

the Press CLUB. 1t was properly SO
named. for it wasn't much benefit
to the audience. (There regard that
as not only a good pun, but a pretty
far pan, too
Quite Il few people braved the
moist rigors of our winter climate to
attend the skit who's Governor To-
day?' In justice to the act which
finished the bill, must say that most
Of the patrons came solely to see and
hear that part of the bill. OF course
these sketches put on by us profess
siOnals were infinitely superior artis-
tically, and all that, but as news
paper person told me one time,

will tuy your paper whether they like
it or not-they want to see what you

The best press agents for the play

Of the statesmen, who had learned
through some leak that they were
TO be mentioned in the lines. They
did more talking and uttered more
threats about what they intended to
dc if unexpectedly treated. than you
could shake a whole bundle Of sticks
at, and it helped. The box office
return (canvassed and declared by
Secretary of the Fourth Estate Theo-
dore Walter Burns Anderson) showed
that.
Great credit was cast upon the
newspaper profession when Mr.. Holli-
day entered the scene As an actor
he failed utterly to give a true stage
portrayal Of himself. l have seen him

tives. which graced the walls of the

SEIZED A CARLOAD OF COAL
Facing Fuel Famine, Des Moines May
or Resorted to Drastic Measure

The people of Des Moines have been
confronted recently with a coal fam
inc. Retailers declared they could not
OBTAIN coal, and prices, in some in
stances, jumped from $3.50 a ton to
81 or S. Mayor John MacVicar
started an investigation and learned
that a full car of coal was standing
on a railroad siding within the city
limits. He sent policemen. to seize the
car of COAL saying a situation existeu
in the city that justified his act
Distribution of the coal to families
that were in serious need of it was
begun under the mayors direction.
But only four tons OF the forty two
tons in the car had been delivered
when the company owning the coal
got an injunction against the city.
Now the ownership of the coal is
hoplessly tied up until the courts can
pass on the question.
MacNicar, a fighting mayor, insists
he viii seize every car of coal that is
set on railroad sidings within the
city limits until after the fuel famine
is relieved. At his office it was said
there had been scores of calls for
coal from families absolutely without
fuel, and that retailers could not OBJ
tain coal from the mines. The rail-
roads, according to the retailers, have
an agreement with the Iowa and Hi
nois coal mines whereby they get first
call on all coal, the public getting
what ic left.

TERMINAL IS
FOUND NECESSARY At
BOWIE; TOWN bO0MS

BOWIE, Ariz., Jan. 19-Bulletins
posted in the Southern Pacific offices
here yesterday, announced the estab-
lishment OF a freight terminal at
Bowie. The creation Of a freight di
vision here was caused partly by
heavy freight traffic and partly on
account of the long haul from Lords
burg to Tucson. Twelve train crews
will be put in service here immediate =
ly and more added later AT present
the town is suffering from a house
famine, and many new dwellings will
have to be erected to accommodate rail-
road men and others who will move
their families here. An approximate
increase in population of five hundred
is estimated on account of the estab-
lishment Of the freight terminal at
this point, and many more families
will come in later as the development
in agricultural lands in the Bowie
valley increases. Land values are in
creasing rapidly here and both the
town and surrounding country have a
bright future.
A number of mining propositions
arc being developed near Bowie, and
the indications point toward much ac-
tiVity along that line.

ture and horticulture presented a re-
quest for an appropriation of $22,50(

The Fiagler Tragedy.

The rupacious relatives of Mrs.
Robert Worth Bingham are adding to
the shadows cast over that unfortu-
nate lady's life. Mrs. Bingham, when
a young lady, was the fance of Rob
ert Worth Bingham, whom she mar
NED less than a year ago. Something
came between them and the engage
ment was broken. Afterward she
met and attracted Henry NJ. Flagler,
the developer of the Florida East
Coast. Mr.. Flagler was then grow
ing old. He was childless and had a
wife, whose mind had failed, and who
was being cared for in a sanitarium.
He desired to obtain divorce from
her and marry again, in the hope of
obtaining an heir for the Flagler mil
lions. There seems to have been OBJ.
structions in the way in his state of
New York, so he changed his citi-
zenship to Florida. The laws of
Florida forbade the divorce he want
ed, so he virtually bought the legis-
lature and had law passed to his
liking. This act was probably the
only stain on his otherwise long and
honorable career, and it seems to
have brought little happiness to all
concerned. He divorced his first wife
Though he always gave her the best
of carc), and married the younger wo-
man. 1t was not many years later
that old age laid its heavy hand upon
him, and he lived his last days in a
solitary house on the east coast, cared
for by hirelings and remembered by
only few friends whom he made to
form gigantic plans for improvement
and push them to completion. He
left millions to his widow, but she
did not enjoy them long, and may
have found them more trouble than
they were worth. Last November,
she married her early love, Judge
Bingham, of Louisville. He is a
prominent lawyer and well to do, he
did not need her money, and it is
probable that the old time attachment
was entirely responsible for the union.
1t is to be hoped she had few months
of happiness between the marriage
and her death which occurred during
the past summer. Now. two months
after her death, her relatives have had
her remains dug up and cut to pieces
in the expectation and nrobah|e hone
of finding proof Of crime. The e.ct
is obviously aimed at her husband al
though she left him only a million
dollars out of seventy million. and he
didn't need that. Few women there
be in humble homes who have anv
reason to envy the wives Of multi-n'il-
lionaires Star.
