 The new venture will begin with the production of a laughable com edy success, direct from Broadway, produced by Selwyn & Co.,. in New York all last season to packed houses. 'rHonors Are Even" may sound like a production of the Colonial days but it is comedy pure and simple which will appeal to the disabilities of the most confirmed victim of blue devils. There Is laugh in every line and a few smiles in between and produced as it is by real stars, selected from both the speaking stage and the moving picture world, Is sure to prove a. source of genuine entertain nept for all.

Minister Ends
 Life, Leaving
 Note To arish

Mars Hills, Maine, May s-How the unfounded charge of a hysterical girl of thirteen years, drove the reverend Charles R. Carlton, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church here, to end his life, has just become known and the entire community Is today stunned by the tragedy.
 At EaSter-time when the church was being decorated the girl assisted in stringing wreaths and festoons about the edifice. The pastor caught the girl in his arms and saved her from a fall as she fell from a. step lad der She ran home screaming and told her parents the clergyman had put his arms about her in an improper manner.
 The entire community was quickly allied against the pastor although he swore to his innocence by his god. His removal was demanded and he found himself the object of scorn in a com munity where he had ever been shown respect and regard.
 Leaving a note declaring he was guilty Of no offence, the minister end ed his life with hunting rifle.

sTwo-Gun Justice"
 Passes From West

Washington May 9.-The old order of justice on the .far-flung plains of the West is changing.
 Hard-riding two-gun plainsmen are passing from the picture and in their stead come lean youthful law enforcement officers riding Pullman cars instead of ponies. The gradual change in the Vests famous posses became a matter of history recently when a Pullman car posse raided forty-five private distilleries in Wy oming to the complete bewilderment of all oId-timers.
 bition Commissioner Carl Jackson, left Cheyenne, famous old frontier town, late one night in a, special Pull man car attached to 8 transcontin- ental limited the car travelling under sealed orders, not even the train crew knowing it's destination Shortly af- ter dawn Director Jackson issued his orders and the car was dropped on a, little siding.
 Forty deputy marshals, sworn in for the raid, dropped from the car and disappeared in the early dawn. They travelled in squads, each squad suspected bootleg joints.'' The raid CTS scattered through three frontier towns-Rock Springs, Green and Green River and South Superior.
 Prisoners Brought in.
 In ten minutes the first prisoners were being brought back to the car headquarters along with samples of confiscated liquor. U. S. Commts- Sioner L. H. Brown held a drum head court in the Pullman drawing room. F. D. Stribling, division chem ist, established an inpromptu 1abora- tory at the other end of the car.
 Samples of the seized liquors were given to StrfbHng. As quickly as he decided they were illegal the prison CTS were taken before Commissioner Brown at the opposite end of the Pullman In a half hour 62 prison CTS had been taken, arraigned before Brown and held in bail for trial be- fore the Federal Court in Cheyenne.
 Five of the prisoners were women. Several wept bitterly. All but four
 The raiders then Jagged a freight train, cOmnandeered empty box car, loaded it with 4,OO0 gallons Of seized liquors and left the siding in d whirI of dust at the end of the freight train. At the next junction point the Pullman car was switched to an express and the posse returned to their homes in Cheyenne, a 100 miles away
 Swifter even than old-tfme frontier justice, the new method has struck an even deeper terror in the hearts of evil doers. A noticeable halt in boot legging activities throughout the whole state was the chief result. Add ed to this came a wholesome respect for the law

Sacramento, Capital Of California WiU Bring Back The 'DGys Of 49''
 Ln Great Celebration, May 23-28

California, and when one of General Suffers men discovered gold it be- came the rendezvous of gold-frenzied thousands. It is around this old structure, with its colorful historic setting that the celebration will re- volve.
 Real Gold Nuggets
 Within the shadow of the font real gold nuggets will be washed out with pan and cradle as in the Days of '49 It will be the starting point for trips over the original Old Gold Trail.
 There will be a river event depict ing the founding of Sutter Fort; a Gold Rush Parade" made up entire lyof ox-teams, stage coaches. burros, prairie schooners, Indians. and griz- zled miners; the coming of Fremont, Kit Carson, Vallejo and other histor- tca1 celebrities will be re-enacted; there will be a Governors inaugural ball, a la Days of '49, all in atten- dance wearing styles of that period the first locomotive driven on the Western terminal of the first trans contin ental railroad will be piloted up the main street by the original engineer, John E. Lonergan. now a millionaire of Philadelphia. Round ing out the big program will be Americas greatest Wild West Con- test.
 Transcontinenta1 railroads, recog- niZing the national scope of the celebration, have decided to put Cal ifornia excursion rates into effect on May 15, giving Eastern people an opportunity to attend the entire eel ebratlOn.

Sacramento, Cal, May The Days of '49," around which are written the most romantic chapters of Californias history, will be revivi- fled in a giginttc six-day celebration in Sacramento. May 23-2S. The en- tire city and surrounding sections arc today bristling with activity in prepa- ration for the event and no detail is being overlooked in the determina- tion to acrurately depict the thrilling annals of the Gold Rush period.
 For months the California State h. brary has been collecting facts and Information to insure a fawless re- production of the life, customs and Outstanding historical features which have made the ''Days of '49' a house. men and women throughout the ex- States. Under the leadership of the Sacramento Chamber of Commerce men and women throughout the ex- pansive area traversed by the "Old Gold Trails are bending their energy to the task of developing those facts into a celebration of vivid realism.
 "GoId Rhsh' Styles.
 So genuine is the enthusiasm of Sacra amento citizns and their desire t., faithfully typify the true spirit of '49 that they will discard modern dress and revert to styles of the Gold Rush days Some of the most enthusiastic of the male population are even now v1e- ing with one another for the honor ex- hitibiting the most characteristic crop of '49 whiskers, while women are blossoming out in styles that were in vogue during the period of the Gold Rush.
 Many thousands of dollars will be expended in the construction of min ing towns, duplicating those of Gold Rush times, with their bizarre ap- pearance and seething action Street cars and automobiles will give way to ox-teams, prairie schooners, stage coaches and burros as means of transportation over the principal bus mess streets. All sections of the old mining country have contributed treasured relics and paraphernaEa which are now being assembled into a most extra ordinary exhibit.

''Kid'' Kaplan to
 Meet "Kid" Wagner

On next Saturday night. May 13, Louis Kid" Kaplan, of Meriden, will meet "Kid' Wagner of Philadelphia in the Mertden Auditorium.
 The Meriden A. c. received word to- day from Max (Boo-Boo) Hall, Wag- ner's manager. that Wagner is in won derful shape, and will arrive in Meri- den, Friday, May 12. He goes on to say: ''I ann ready to back Wagner to the limit and why shouldn't I? I realize that Kaplan is a tough boy and a willing mixer, but why should We fear him after Wagner decisively beating such boys as Babe Herman, whom Jack Kearns, Dempsey's man ager. brought all the way from Cali fornia to take away Johnny Ki1bane's crown; Lieut.. Earl Baird, one of the most sensational boys that has ap- peared in a New York ring in a long, long time. After his fight with Wag- enr, Baird was compelled to cancel all Of the bouts he booked and lay off for six weeks: Johnny Darcy, boy, who has fought Johnny Dundee a wonderful fight in Providence. Then there is Johnny Reisler, the son of the famous John the Barber, who Connecticut fight fans will remen1be as the boy that knocked down the clever Charlie Pi1kington-the only time that Pilkington has ever been knocked down; Wagner has fought many others including Al (K. O. Wagner. This is the only boy that both Kaplan and Wagner have met and Wagner beat him every bit as much as Kaplan and little bit more
 I hope Kapaan will be in the best of shape on the 18th, so there will be no a1ibis after the fight. We want to show the fight fans of Connecticut a real contender for the crown held by Johnny Kilbane, and will let you get anyone to fight Wagner from Kilbane down after the bout of May 13 is over. believe Wagner will decisively defeat Kaplan and am ready to back my judgment''

Baseball folks are wondering why Hank Bracket is wandering about the ball park attired in ''civies." The answer is: Some big deal is said to be in the works"
 Now that Johnny Evers has hopped back into the game as Q second baseman, and in the American League, may we not expect to see Jess BurketT HughIe Jennings, Jack McAllis- ter and other managerial aides break into the game at their old time places
 And it's a good bet that tho fans would like to see them take a whirl at it.
 Funny thing. The big leagues seem to be getting along nicely without Diclxy Kerr, Eddie RouSh and the other stars who decided to give the magnates their choice between meeting huge salary de- mands or going into bankruptcy. This Lew Tender Is a wise little bird. You know. he's been bowling for a chance at Benny Leonard for To, these many months. And now that promoters seem inclined to con slider once more matching the two Tender has staggered them all with his demands He'll be contented with the gold reserve in the U. S. mint if they throw in a few more thou- Saand than Is OTO1I1S1Ehy O1 4lS1Au there.
 He has good reasons for demand ing neat sum.
 He Is really desirous of coppins the title Leonard holds. But he feels that there is little chance of loosen ing the crown. Consequently he wants to make 8 cleanup while he can.
 Last year, when the Cleveland Indians were going good, all Ur- ban Eaber was called on to do when it came his turn to hurl a game against them was to throw his glove into the diamond. The Indians were licked before they went to but. This spring the 1n- dianS have hit awful slump. Every rookie hurler around the Western circuit has taken their measure And what has Urban done? Not much To date he has faced the Indians three times. Twice they trounced him and once he was being hit hard when the game was called with the score a tie, 6-6, to allow both teams to catch trains.
