LATEST GHOST DANCE
 INVOLVES PRINTERS

Washington, May 7.-E. J. McCone of the non-union Buffalo Commercial qualified as ghost dancer while testi- flying before a senate committee that IS Investigating the news print paper scare ity.
 The witness revived the hoax, worked overtime Is years ago, that the Inter national Typographical union censors every newspaper in this country but four, and that this union is the official censor for the American Federation of Labor.
 The Buffalo man also charged that the obligation taken by members of the Typographical union forces these unionists to put their labor organiza- ton ahead of the government. This was another war whoop of antl-unlon ghost dancers several years ago.
 The New York Times telegraphed to newspaper editors in all parts of the country if it were true as charged m Washington by E. J. McCone of the non-union Buffalo Commercial. The Times summarizes the replies as fol- lows:
 Inquiry among editors in all parts of the country brought vigorous and unoualifed denial of MT. McCone's charge from newspaper men, who ln- sisted that in all their experiences any such attempt at censorship was abso- lutely unknown to them"

TRANSFERS TO REOPEN
 CHARTER TO NEWCOMERS
Will Give Another Opportunity to Get in at Minimum
 Rate.

In line with their general plan of building up their organization the New Haven local of the Teamsters, Chauf- feurs and Helpers Union will open the charter on Monday and leave it open for several weeks, thus giving men who are not now enrolled an opportunity to get into the union at a minimum rate. The organization is steadily growing but so many men that desired to be- come affiliated at the outset missed the opportunity to get in at the starting figure, that the local decided that to give them an opportunity to do so, the charter should be re-opened.
 The organization succeeded i'll secur- ing material increases for the drivers and helpers employed at the coal yards during the winter, and while not yet having secured recognition of the union is confident Of soon doing so. It has the CO operation of all organized crafts, the members of which are sending back coal unless it is delivered by union teamster.
 The coal drivers are not the only such workers interested, however, drivers and helpers in all lines being included. The organization bids fair therefore to soon be one of the most active and largest i'll the city.

as much as possible during the installa- tion of the new trolley fare system. lie explained tl,at 1t would entail con- siderable work upon the conductors un- til they and the public had become accustomed to 1t and requested that patience be exercised.
 Members of Organized Labor and the Workingmen and women of. the city generally are inclined to accept the new zones without protest. At first the inn presslon was gained that the change meant an increase in fares but careful consideration of the fares charged when tickets are used indicates that in most instances the fare will be less rather than more. Naturally regular users of the cars will buy tickets and thereby ride for as little or less tahn they have been paving.
 The tickets are for 50 zones at two cents each, thereby making the cost one dollar when the dollars worth of trans portation is used up another ticket is purchased. This does away with the nuisance of making change and is convenience to the passenger as well as to tine conductor.
 A list of all the offices and agents selling tickets is being prepared by the trolley company and will be published
 
 which do not go into effect until Mon- day are sold only at the cashiers office on the second floor of the Chamber of Commerce building. These entitle com muters in cities of over 25,O00 popula- ton to ride at the rate of one three fourth cents mile, provided they live five or more zones away from their destinations.
 Two conductors are on special duty i'll this city whose sole duty is to sell the zone tickets, one being stationed at State and Chapel and one at Church and Chapel streets. The conductor at the latter corner reports selling 500 tickets yesterday. At a cigar stand in the Second National Bank building 800 of the pasteboards were disposed of. The rush is so great for them at the Connecticut Company's office that it cannot be handled.

THE HYPERION.

Annette Kel1erman and Charlie Chap lin are names to conjure with III the world of the cinema and seldom are they seen on one program. But the Sunday night concerts at the Hyperion are nothing if not unusual and there fore a rare treat Is in store this Sun day night when Annette Kellerman will be screened in her greatest achieve ment, "A Daughter of the Gods" the Herbert Brenon production made at a cost of million dollars and thousands of people engaged for the various scenes most of which were filmed in the Bahama Islands. Chaplin appears in '.The Pawnshop" and it is really his biggest screen, solid half hour of laughs. Another big feature will pre- sent Frank Mayo in his latest produc- ton Burnt Wings" the story of a man who owes his life and success to a woman's sacrifice and who, realizes his great debt to her just in time to save them both from regrettable step. For good measure there will be the Kino- grams.
 What is heralded as frivolous farcical fro1ic" meaning Al Woods famous production of "Parfor, Bed room and Bath" is listed for produc- ton at the Hyperion the coming week and 1t is nothing more nor less than an event. "Parlor, Bedrom and Bath" from the time it first aroused New York until the present time has been the most in demand play by stock man agers, but Al Woods would not release it. When he did weaken and decide to allow it to be played few weeks Gen eral Manager Thatcher who selects the plays for the Hyperion was right on the job and quickly signed a contract for it. The farce tells of the troubles of newly wed who is determined to

 Barry Mccormick, noted Irish singer and feature of various Broadway suc- cesses, is still another noteworthy fea- ture of the coming show. Durham and O'Ma1ley in their singing and talking skit Just Out of Musical Comedy and the clever Clinton Sisters in an inter pretative costume dancing act are two more acts carefully selected.
