I & n ABOUT IT.

The Tent show.
1 went to the big brown top at Seventh
and Jackson Friday afternoon, aud had a
good big look at Bob Macks layout with
which he will tour Kansas, Nebraska and
ably have seen every other part of show
business, but here was one side of it that
was absolutely new TO me.
Bob Mack, who has been at the Novelty
for several seasons as manager. has teamed
up with Hugo Miller, and the two have
gotten together great layout They have
company, all intact. They arranged with
the Hazel Mcowen company which has been
playing in Pittsburgh, Pa, all last season,
and it looks to me like winner.
When l say 1t is a tent show. you must
not confuse 1t with some sort of a circus
or the like, for it is a first class well
will seat eight hundred people. There is
a reserved section with nice soft easy seats
and regular side lines for the sob squad"
The stage is elevated on sectional plat
form and is so rugged that not thing is
left undone in the proper presentation of
any play. The company will present six
scenery. All electrical equipment is car
ried. Regular stage hands and a full
stage is of good size. with plenty of off
stage room aud large dressing rooms on
either side. 1t takes the largest size bag
gage car TO transport the show from town
to town. Week stands are made
- The big top and sides were made in
the first time that such huge affair has
been tackled by this company and a great
deal of credit must be given them for the
excellence of the work The tent is abso-
lutely water proof and sets at such low
level as to eliminate any chance for the
wind to tear it down. The stage. at one
end, is built on a solid wooden founda-
ton which is grooyed and pinned together.
making il absolutely steady and sound
proof The foot lights come in sections
and. with the huge border lights and side
illumination. give a perfect lighting. The
lights are worked from a regular portable
4 real. first class -theater. the only differ
ence being that it is entirely portable.
The tent show business has become a
staple line of endeavor in the past few
years and some rapid strides have been
made by producers in every section of the
country.
Bob Mack has been connected with the
theater business for many years and has
been very successful in all of his under
takings Hugo Miller is scenic artist of
high merit and has been connected with
the best stock companies over the country
Both men look forward TO a good money
making season, with the preparations they
have made.
The company which comes to Topeka in
tact after a most successful season in
Pittsburgh, Pa. is headed by capable
young lady, Miss Hazel McOwen. Her
leading man is Ralph Moody. who will be
remembered here with the old. North
Brothers stock company. The rest of the
the list of New York productions to he
presented Topeka is to have week of real.

about all. n. S A.

WILSON INHERITED MIDDLE

Washington, May 15.-Secretary
Daniels today assailed the naval pol
icies of former Presidents Roosevelt
and Taft, declaring they permitted the
United States to lose its place as Sec
ond naval power of the world and al
lowed Germany to pass us.
The greatest strides in the history
of the navy were made under Presi-
dent Wilson. he declared.
Continuing his defense before the
senate naval investigating committee,
Daniels asserted the Wilson admins
tration retrieved the navy from the
position it drifted into under the
"standpat policy" of Roosevelt.
Wilson Inherited Mess.
President Taft, he said. failed to re-
cover the lost ground and as a result
the Wilson administration inherited
the whole situation.
Between March. 1913. and Sep
TENDER. 1915, the navy increased in
personnel, efficiency and material
more than in any similar peace period
in our history" Daniels asserted.
Measuring the navy's strength by
ships built and building. Daniels said
it fell back" under Taft. From 1904
to 1910 congress authorized only ten
ca pital ships to Germany's twenty, he
said.
Cites Roosevelt's 1905 Message.
Preside nt Roosevelt IN MS annual
message in 1905 held that for the i'm
mediate future there need be no in
crease in the number of units.
1T was in keeping with these rec
concentrations that the United States
a the outset of a new era in battle
ship construction adopted the stand
pat policy by which we were fore
doomed to lose our position as second
naval power.
mo Roadway was made in the Taft
administration toward retrieving the
relative strength we had lost under
Roosevelt.
He Passes the Buck.
You nave been told that the lack
of large preparations before the war
was a grieVous fault in the present
secretary of the navy. If that is true
1t is a fault that lies more at the door
of preceding secretaries of the navy,
presidents before the war and con-
crosses before the one of 1913.
Under the Wilson administration
we find that for the first time in years
congress authorized a larger program
than Germany. The Wilson admins
tration took steps to secure for the
United States that position this coun-
try had lost during the Roosevelt and
Taft administrations by reason of the
policy which prevailed in those years
In the first three years of the Will
son administration the navy became
better organized, better differed, bet
ter manned and better supplied with
ammunition and more efficiently ana
more economically governed than ever
before in its history.

export demand for wheat was evident
bullish factor. Besides, there appeared to

lowed by slight reaction and then by
material gains all around.
Subsequently, belief expressed by a lead

be settled early next week led to a sharp
setback in prices. The close was nervous
