3 MYSTERIOUS
 FIGURES APPEAR
 IN PAPER CASE

Muskegon, Mich, Dec. 18.---Three mysterious figures injected into the case of Milo H. Piper, insurance man, accused of having killed Miss F'rieda Weichman, Chicago housekeeper, were being sought by the local police yes- terday. According to Piper, who was brought here from Hamilton, Ontario, to face the murder charge, any of these three persons, whom he named as Jack Goldberg" John Sheldon,' . and Edward Benton" can substan- tiate his story that Sheldon used the
 name of 'M. H. Piper" in marrying Miss Weichman at Rensselaer,, Ind, in March, 1916
 According to Prosecuting Attorney Brock, Piper yesterday told him that several months after Miss Weich- mans marriage to Sheldon the lat ter gave her to him to live with as his wife. Piper and Miss Weichman, he added, travelled about in an auto mobile for some time, registering in various cities as man and wife. Ben ton," Piper said, accompanied them.
 He insisted, however, that he knew

LYRIC

Of alIlthe laughing successes which have visited the Lyric theater for reproduction by the popular Poh Players none have quite equalled that of this week, Some Baby" The press agent who at its initial pro- duction, nicknamed 1t Some Show" was not far off in his reckoning for it Is really some production with laughable situations and ludicrous eli maxes galore. From the time the cur tain rises until it's final fall at the conclusion the laughs follow each oth- CT in such rapid succession that they can almost be called continuous and the members of the audiences are seen to be still laughing as they make their exit after the finale.
 Some Baby is a combination of humorous mixups, entanglements and distentanglements and the audience which receives 1t in anything but d jovial spirit must indeed be apathetic. The idea of the stor% alone is worth a laugh and the actions which It contains and the lines as spoken by the actors are. funny enough to keep any duulSLlCS III ell u p4 OdI LIOlIl SldLEl | to finish. Good comedians are few and far. between, but In Some Baby" there is enough to arouse the disabilities of the most confirmed grouch that ever lived.
 Next week the Poli Players will present that wonderful success Dad. dy Longlegs," now playing to packed houses on Broadway, New York, hay. ing been reproduced by popular de mand after lying dormant for half 2 season. Daddy Longlegs" is one o1 the most fascinating comedies of the present age and will be enjoyed by young as well as old.
