At y" AMATEUR SHOW

Rarely II ever in this city has an
audience numbering between 500 and
900 persons enjoyed an entertainment
more than did that which comfortably
filled the Steel Works ''Y'' thcatcr last
evening. While 1t was amateur night
it is doubtful II ever professionals on
big time circuits received warmer and
more prolonged demonstrations OF de-
light than was accorded each and every
act Frankly speaking each contes-
tant for one of the three prizes had a
legion of friends in tho audience, and
they surc responded with the glad
hand.
While little Media Johnson. only eight
years of age, who did a song and
dance act in fancy costume, did not
receive ono OF the prizes, nor did
Georgia Ching, who gave "A perfect i'm
imitation OF a Hawaiian hula-hulu

his playing reminded ono OF old-fa-
shioned country dance fun. Mr.. Rice
responded to about half a dozen en-
cores and he was rewarded with tho
first prize, much to the surprise of a
majority OF the audience because the
applause accorded the old gentleman
had been accorded in a spirit OF fun.

DENIAL ISSUED BY
LAWYER IN MICHIGAN
CENTRAL WRECK CASE

Chicago. March 2.-Charles McFad-
den, attorney for tho Michigan Cen
tral railroad, in statement to The
Associated Press, telephoned from
Niles, Michigan, today declared he had
been misquoted in crediting him yes
terday with the statement that Will
liam Long, engineer, and George Block,
fireman. of the Michigan Central train,
had been cxonerated of responsibility
for the wreck at Porter, Ind, Sunday,
with loss of 81 lives.
Reports credited to Attorney Nc
Fadden yesterday said Engineer Long
had obcyed the signals and that he
could not be held accountable for tho
crash. Subsequently Henry Schcarer,
general manager of the Michigan Cen
trail announced investigation had
proved Long and Block were to blame
for the crash.
The statement of Ar. Shearer that
Engineer Long and Fireman Block
violated the rules and failed 20 observe
and properly obtain signals seems to
clear up the responsibility for the
wreck" Mr.. McFadden said. THE fact
that Long and Block have been dis
missed from the service speaks for
ITSELF
Chicago, March 2.-warren E. Nc
Dewitt staff correspondent of the
Chicago Daily News, who reported the
statement denied by Mr MeFadden,
said today he quoted Mr.. McFadden
correctly.
There was no elaboration at all in
writing the statement" Mr.. McDevitt
said today. THE story was an inter
view. Mr.. McFadden made the state
ments in tho presence of other rail-
road officials, and seemingly acted
with authority At first he was re-
luctant to talk. He said Mr.. Long,
the Michigan Central engineer. had
been absolved by statements OF wilt
nesscs and that he would defend him
to the last Mr.. McFadden said that
tho blame rested with the New York
Central engine crew"
Mr. McDevitt was in Niles, Mich.
yesterday when the testimony credited
to Mr.. McFadden was issued, covering
