NEW YORK, March 5.-The thea
tricai world Is facing brass tacks in
the matter Of productions Costly
but unskilled productions are doing
what Broadway terms "a fop'"every
week simply, because the public will
not stand for the twaddIe that was
Tossed up and served at 50 per seat
during the flush days that are gone.
A hybrid group Of ipitators of
worthy producers bloomed over
night and really grew prosperous
simply because people had money
to spend and New York was crowded
with pleasure seekers.
The most initiated type Of show
in town was the ''ziegfeld Follies"-

The public came and then came
the readjustment in the theater.
People were demanding the same
values as they did in buying a suit
or a dress. And the big trek to that
haven OF lost theatrical hopes
Gains theatrical warehouse-begap.
Shows withered and died over
night. Today only the original kind
of a show is getting by. New York

ductions for the visitor. More so
than II has had in three years.

Leftwich-
Thomas ought to know, because
he hit Vernon an awful one and
Jared that gentlmen almost into

Vernon called on Thomas sister.
The subject OF the talk turned to
booze, flames of Hades and other
pleasant and unpleasant things con-
nected with both subjects.
Tired OF listening to what he
termed dry rot" Thomas ordered
Vernon out Of the house. The apostle
Of bone-dry world refused to move
and Thomas hoisted him to the
sidewalk.
The prohibitionist tried to show
that Thomas had imbihed some Of
the evil stun before attacking him.
but It could not be proved.
The court let the prisoner so on
his personal bonds on the condition
never to hit another enemy of rum.

Just imagine yourself with a wife
and six children and no job and
no money. Probably the very
thought of IT is enough to drive
you to the nearest near-beer
saloon.
That is what happened to Stan
ley Crosby, a steel mill laborer.
He halls from Pittsburgh, where he
had been holding down two Jobs
to make ends meet.
When the mill shut down he came
to Washington and looked around
for a job. He did not find any
work. but did find some hard cider.
Policeman Conklin picked him up
on Ninth street northwest.
The mans record showed that he
had been sober for three years
which was very good when all
things are considered.

MORNING, JUDGE!
BY RUDOLPH PERKINS.

Judge Hardison did not want to
send him to jail and make things
worse for his family.
So, on his promise to never touch
hard cider again, he was placed on
probation.
BUMMING MONEY
SENDS HIM TO JAIL.
One day last January George An
derson approached a man on the
street and told him he was hungry
and would like to- eat.

lunchroom and invited George to

A few days ago George met the
same man at Eleventh and F streets
northwest and tried again to bum
some money, explaining this time
that he wanted to get to Richmond
and did not want to burglarize a
house to get the railroad fare.
The man signaled to Policeman
Schotter and George was taken to
the box. While waiting for the
wagon George used some terrible
language to the policeman and hor-
rified the large crowd Of shoppers.
None knew where the man hailed
from or how he had managed to
eat and sleep between last January
and the day he came into court.

horse supplied the answer. The jury
might regard IL as a desperate de-
fense, or think that the horses teeth
had been pulled after the incident
TO supply an alibi, and therefore
disregard it. But Harvey Hunt
came to the conclusion that the box
contained the teeth that the horse
didn't have. The woman's action at
his sudden staring convinced him
he was right. and that in fact she
had the box with her in her bag.

accident. Her downfall was due to
her picking a toothless horse.

 BUSINESS MEN
 IS REPUDIATED

PfeSldGpt Allen ShattuCk and other members of the Juneau Commercial Association at the last monday lunch
 con denounced as fabrications, male from whole cloth, the propaganda of a
 nonresident owned newspaper that the business people of Juneau had been negligent in the matter of secur ing a capitol building for Juneau, or that there was any sentiment n this city, inspired by landlords to the government or otherwise, against the construction of such building, says the Empire
 MT. Shattuck said the Juneau Com
 merci2l Association has 96 members
 In good standing, leading business and
 professional men of the city, who are fully awake to the importance of any
 thing that counted for the advance ment of the city or of Alaska and that
 they had been doing all that apparen
 tly could be done. MT. Shattuck said he spoke for every member of the Ju, neau Commercial Association.
 John w. Troy gave history of the whole Juneau capital building matter from the authorization of the construc- a cost not to exceed $200,000 an auth orizatiOn that was placed in the public
 buildings bill of 1910 by Senator War. ren of Wyoming at the personal re- quest of President Taft, down to the present time. It showed that the peo, pie of Juneau at all times worked wig ilantly to secure a building, acting al ways according to their best light at the time the action was taken He showed that, before the Supervising Architect of the treasury department had reached the Juneau building, Con- gress had established a Territorial Legislature, and it became the general conviction of all those in the Territory who looked into the matter that the money appropriated was not sufficient. A campaign was started in 1913 to se- cure an additional appropriation. This campaign was at the point of sue cess in 1916, when, on account of the war preparation appropriation, there was no public buildings bill passed and there has been none since that time.
 MT. Troy also showed that it would take action by Congress to make the $175,000 already authorized for the construction of building available; that the Supervising Architect, at the request of Gov. Riggs and Delegate Grigsby had agreed to prepare plans for the construction of building, one unit of which could be erected at a cost of $175,0O0, that 1t might serve as a basis to get Congress to pass a spec cial bill or resolution authorizing such action and making the money avail able for the purpose.
 He said he had associated almost daily for eight years with Charles  Goldstein, B. M. Behrends, the officers of the First National Bank, and the officials and members of the Odd Eel lows Lodge, who are the principal government landlords and that he had never heard anyone intimate that there should be delay in the ccnstruc- tion of a capitol building, but on the contrary every one of the landlords was just as much interested as all the other citizens of the town in getting al building erected.
 John Reck, President of the First National Bank, corroborated "every word" uttered by Mir. Troy and MT.
