CLASS PLAY fine SUCCESS

The Senior Class presented the
"Tailor Made Man" with an all star
east. So well was the play appreciat-
ed that the two advertised dates, May
3lst and June LIST, could not accommo-
date those who desired to see it and
a third presentation was given on June
Bird to a full house.
Floyd Vance as John Paul Bart, the
Tailor Made Man, who appropriates
Mr.. Jellicott's dress suit and puts DR..
Sonntag's theories in practice, did
most excellent work and so did Gwen
dolyn Grimsrud, who was the leading
lady, as Tanya Huber, the charming
daughter of the tailor and fiancee of
DIR. Sonntag, VIM. Schrode. Russell
Brewer as Peter McConkie, the tail
or's first assistant; Ermon Keir as Mr..
Jellicott, in his over-large borrowed
dress-suit; Ione Olson and Ruby Stew
art, as Mrs. and Miss Dupuy, the man
aging mama and over-chaperoned
daughter supplied the comedy and it
was of the best.
The Tailor Made Mans career as
adviser to Abraham Nathan the finan-
cier, Kenneth Brewer and arbitrator
in serious labor troubles runs smooth
ly until his lowly origin is to be dis
closed when he publishes his story
and returns to his work as presser in
the tailor shop. His millionaire friends
desert him; DIR. Sonntag betrays and
taunts him but in the end he is recalled
to his high position in the financier's
office and wins the ,tailor's lovely
daughter from DR.. Sonntag.
As society men and women, labor
delegates, business men, secretary,
stenographer, newspaper man, valet
and butler, other members of the class
starred in the minor parts.
The success of the play was cred
it to the young actors and to the train
ing they had received. The interest
manifested and the demand for the
third presentation gives evidence of
the high place held in the hearts of
our people by our schools and the
young graduates.

City Engineer Brewer and Band

School Band Convention at Kilbourn
City last week. Richland Center's
fine High School Band, under the d.
rection of Peter Michaelson, formerly
of Westby and West Salem, carried
away the first honors. Pete's many
friends in this vicinity extend hearty
congratulations both to the Center and
himself. They were supported by a
home endorsement of about thirty cars
from the Center and among the boost
ers were Frank Dickson and Harry
Bailey. 1t is to be hoped that Viro-
qua will give sufficient encouragement
to music in the schools that we may be
represented at the next convention.

Explanation Of Name Canada"

There are various theories as to how
Canada came to be so called. one
which meets with wide approval is
that the word Canada is derived from
an Indian word, "Kannatha," meaning
q village or collection of huts, and 1t
% supposed that Jacques Cartier, hear
Ing this word used by the Indians with
reference to their settlements, mistook
Its meaning, and applied It to the
whole country.

LONDON WORRIED AGAIN

London, Oct. 6.-Dispatches re-
ceiyed here Friday night gave even a
graver aspect to the near eastern sit
uation than that of earlier in the day.
The Kemalists are insisting on the
right to the immediate occupation Of
eastern Thrace and have given the
allies q time limit, expiring Friday
evening, for a reply on this question.
The Turks have refused to accept
the proposal for the allied occupation
Of Thrace or any allied control. as
apparently they are supported in their
stand by the French and Italian gov
ernments.
Everything now seems to depend on
the British cabinet reply to a report
of General Harrington, which was said
to be anxiously awaited to Constan-
tinople. 1t was said that General
Harrington would ask of the Turks an ex-
tension of their time limit for the oc-
eupation of Thrace until Saturday
morning, when he hoped to be In pos.
session Of his governments instruc-
tions. In the meantime. General Har-.
ington had proceeded with the other
allied Representatives back to Mudania
in the hope of renewing the confer
ence.
The fact that NJ. Franklin Bouillon.l
the French envoy, again has accompa-
MED the French delegates TO Mudania,
is interpreted in official circles here
as a bad sign, as he is regarded as
supporting the views of Mustapha Ke-
NAL Pasha, the Turkish nationalist
leader, although it is not definitely
known whether the French government
is actually backing him in his atti-
tude.
In the meantime. the British are
assembling strong forces both naval
and military, in the Chanak region Of
Asiatic Turkey.
One Constantinople dispatch repre-
sents Mutapha Kemal Pasha as being
tired of the delays incident to the ne
gotiations and conference, and as
wanting some undertaking in writing
from the allies.

WIFE OVER DIVORCE:
Court Affirms Report of Ref

Scheduled.

White Plains, n. Y, Oct. 6.-(By
The Associated Press. THE Stillman
divorce fight appeared far from ended
Friday night, despite the fact that
Justice Morschauser of the supreme
court Friday handed down a decision
confirming the report Of Referee Daniel
J. Gleason, in which dismissal of the
divorce suit brought by James A. Still
man. wealthy banker, against Mrs.
Anne Z. Stillman, and affirmation of
the legitimacy of her youngest child,
Guy, was recommended.
At least three more actions loom on
the calendar of the supreme court
and after that there is every indica-
ton that Stillman, If he continues to
play losing hand in the lower court,
will go to the appellate division for a
review, then to the court of appeals
and possibly eventually, to the United
States supreme court.
Two hearings are set for Saturday.
One Is on a motion by Stillman for
Judgment on the referees report, filed
in the supreme court at Nyack.. The
other is a motion for confirmation of
the report. filed at Poughkeepsie, by
John A. Mack, as guardian of the In
Mack, having joined with Mrs. Still
man in the motion just granted by
Justice Morschauser, is expected to
drop his Poughkeepsie action. Cor
nelius J. Sullivan. of counsel for Still

Ontario Officials and Rail Men

Cobalt, Ont, Oct. 6.-After leaving
relief supplies here and in half a
dozen other places in the fire-swept
area, Premier E. C. Drury and COM
pany of other provincial officials have
returned to Toronto, having been as
sured by townspeople that they have
done all that is possible at present
for the sufferers in the district.
where fires claimed 20 known dead
and possibly go.
Burns Despite Rain
The heavy rain Friday morning
quenched the fires and the premier S
relief party, accompanied by George
w. L. Lee, president of the Tennis
kaming & Northern Ontario railroad,
has provided temporary relief for the
homeless.
The presidents party Friday visited
Englanhart, New Liske, Heaslip,
Charlton, Thornloe and Earl. AS the
train pulled slowly over unsteady
tracks into town after town. the sight
was appallingly the same.
Sooty-faced men and women
gathered eagerly about the track when
the relief train came, and In the most
cases somebody on board was obliged
to ask the name of the place, for
signs and once familiar buildings had
been swept away in the tide of flame
which had passed this way a scant "a
hours before. Such was the scene at
Thornloe, Haileybury and Heaslip.
At Heaslip the fires were still burn
ing despite the downpour of vain when
the relief party arrived. 1t was at
Heaslip that two families were wiped
out, one family having taken refuge in
an outhouse which seemed safe at the
time, but over which the flames swept
as the wind veered.
The bodies were taken to Engle-
hart for burial.
Heroism OF Boy
Tales of heroism, of miraculous es-
capes and peculiar tricks of fate
cropped up as the relief party went
forward. No fewer than three cases
of childbirth during the conflagration
have been reported. In only one in
stance was it said that the baby was
not doing we'll
At Haileybury the story was told
of how A. McLennan, youth en-
ployed in the Union bank. drove a
motor truck laden with refugees un-
til, blinded by smoke and cinders, he
ran into n tree. Then he guided the
party on foot across a plowed field to
safety.
In Charlton only one house was left
standing. Eli Thib, who was in To-
ronto when the fire came, hurried
home, fearing for the fate of his wife
and 10 children. He was overjoyed to
find that they were all safe, for it
was his house that had been spared by
a whim of tho shifting winds.

SLEUTHSSTART NEW
TACK IN PROBE Of
HALL-M|LLS MURDER
Four Questions to Be Put to
RectOr's Widow and Sex
ton by Detectives.

New Brunswick, n. J., Oct 6-By
an intensive investigation of several OF
the earlier clues discovered in the double
shooting of the Rev. Edward Wheeler
Hall and Mrs. James Mills, wife of the
church sexton, state and county author
tiles Friday night announced they had
constructed d framework on which they
expected the entire case to hinge. The
groundwork, the authorities said, con-
sists of four cardinal questions to be
put to Mrs. Hall and James Mills, when
they are summoned for questioning,
which probably will be Saturday.
The first of the questions the author
tiles say they want to clear up is the
exact number of times which Mills met
Mrs. Hall on the day before the dis
covery of the bodies of the rector and
Mrs. Mills in the Somerset county or
chard Mills has said that he met
Mrs. Hall four times on this day; first,
early in the morning at the church; ;
twice at his own home and once at her
home. Mrs Hall, detectives said, has
told them she saw Mills but once, and
this was at the church.
The second question concerns the
statement of William Phillips, night
'watchman of the New Jersey State
College for Women, that the woman IN
the polo coat, who entered the Hall
home early in the morning after the
double shooting was unaccompanied.
Mrs. Hail. who has admitted she IS
the woman to whom Phillips referred.
has declared that she was accompanied
by her brother, William Stevens.
The third question is why Mrs. Hall
failed to make any declaration of the
large sum of money found in Hall S
home, and the fourth is why neither she
nor Mills. in their original questioning
by Somerset county authorities, made
any statement of the close friendship
and interest which the rector and Mrs.
Mills had shown in each other.
The most important new discovery,
which was made in the systematic
questioning of members of the church
choir and persons living near the
church, Friday was the finding of what
detectives called the 'loye fence This
was a special chicken and barbed wire
fence which Hall ordered Mills to build
about a shed in the rear of the church
Detectives said they were informed by
persons living near the church that on
occasions they had seen Hall and Mrs
Mills leave the church separately by
a rear door and so to this shed. The
barbed wire barrier, the detectives said.
prevented anyone from approaching the
shed from the rear.

ConstantinopIe, Oct. 6-(By

no definite news has yet been re-
celved from Mudania, where the
allied representatives have gone
again to renew their conference
with the env0ys of the Turkish
