THE ORPHEUM

The Orpheum Stock Company gave
last night for the first time the COM
edy drama, Hon. John Grigsby, to APP
preciative houses. 1t is a play of old
settings and old costumes. The date
of the story is 1S49, at the time of the
agitation of the slavery question.
There is a run of the political game
throughout that lays the plot. The
quaint old. days of romance are
brought in, giving rise to good COM
edy.
Among the players of the stock
company Albert Patterson pIaye6 his
role with much credit to himself. TAX
ing the part of the Hon. John Grigs-
by, he impersonated that character in
an excellent manner. Ward Cassidy
and Louis Morgan introduced good
comedy. Roy Van Fossem as John
Grigsby. Jr., played his youthful part
well. Among the feminine parts Miss
Edna Marshall and Miss MoIlie Fish
err stood out well.

Ossining, May 24.-Dr. Arthur War.
rem Waite was executed at Sing Sing
prison at 11:10 o'clock tonight for the
murder of his father-in-law, John r.
Peck of Grand Rapids, Mich.
The young dentist walked calmly
and with a firm step from his cell to
the death chamber accompanied by
Rev A. N. Peterson, Protestant chap
lain of the prison He faitered. how
ever as he neared the electric chair,
BUT recovered himself quickly and
Iodded to the group of physicians,
prison officials and others who had
gathered as witnesses.
Waite submitted quietly to the or
deal of being strapped into the chair
and went to his death without a word
OF protest or goodbye. Three shocks
were administered within four min
utes
The two hours before his death
Waite spent in prayer with his spirit

man if there was any one to whom he
wished to send message or farewell.

The chaplain declared that Waite,
who confessed that he had poisoned
his fatherin-law in the expectation
that his wife would obtain a large

tate. seemed to look upon his ap-
preaching doom as wonderful adj
venture.
Not once during the day did Dr.
Waite lose his composure. He main
tained the same smiling indifference
that has marked his stay of almost
year in the death house.

of the new military law which forbids
the sale OF intoxicating liquors, includ
ing wines, beers, and ales, to officers
or soldiers of the United States in
uniform is now in effect and will be
enforced to the letter This announce

States Attorney II. Snowden Marshall
Whether or not 1t is unlawful for a
person to accompany a soldier into a
saloon and buy him a drink. in other
words, treat" him, is not specifically
covered by the law; but the under
standing is that treating" is also a
violation and will be so considered un-
less ruling to the contrary is made.
ITO permit treating" said Federal
official yesterday, would be beating
around the bush, and will not go for a
minute. The law will be so interpret
ed and enforced accordingly
Until yesterday there was consider
able doubt in saloons and restaurants
as to whether the law had gone into
effect, and District Attorney Marshall
received so many inquiries that he
wired TO Attorney General Gregory in
Washington for ruling. Mr.. Gregory
replied:
The act forbidding the sale of in
toXicating liquors. including beer, ale
or wine, to any officer or member of
the military forces, while in uniform,
was approved May IS. 1t became ef-
fective the same day"

POLLEN TO LECTURE HERE
British Naval Expert Brought About
Admiralty REORGANIZATION.

London, May 24.-Arthur II. Pollen,
who has proved himself one of the
best informed writers on naval af-
fairs in the country, is about to visit
the United States to give series of
lectures. He recently achieved pen
haps the most sensational journalistic
success of his time in bringing about,
almost single-handed. complete revo-
luton in the organization of the Brit
ish Admiralty by his articles in the
London press.
Mr.. Pallen is well known as lee
turer, and has the faculty of render
ing the abstruse details of naval tech
nique into language understood by un-
professional hearers. His account of
the battle of Jutland is splendid
piece of lucid exposition.
