BILLY BEARD At
COLUMBIA GETS
LAUGH LAUREIS

Columbia audiences yesterday
fell before the heavy bombaTdment
OF comedy directed at them by
Blackface Billy Beard, who isn't
having any fun himself unless he
has the crowd rollicking with
laughter all the time he's on. Billy
has had no peer at the Columbia
this season in putting over high
powered line OF chin music. He
has a way of telling his stuff that
starts laughter long before the
point is reached. Billy's line leans
to the very latest variety of gossip
and it deals mainly with wild
women" He does a couple OF
songs, one in response to an en-
core, which go over big. He's en-
joyable to young and old.
The Columbia features a double
headliner for the show for the first
half of the week. Indoor Sports"

FORTH WORTH.

Fort Worth, Texas, March 81
Long, time loans for cattlemen
which went begging 10 days ago,
have been snapped up in the last
few days on every side and a finan-
ctal situation which was unique
and unprecedented has been re-
heved. Cattlemen would not &C
cept proffered loans for replenish-
ing their stock even though the in
terest rate was low and the terms
easy because they had no place 10
Craze and water their enlarged
herds. The tremendous rains of
last week, in some sections the first
good rains in three rains, were just
what the cowmen had been wait
ing for. The range is turning
green, the creeks and rivers are
full and depleted herds are being
restocked.
Retail furniture dealers report a
heavy increase in sales throughout
the southwest. This is attributed
to the large number of new homes
being built Union plumbers have
voluntarily reduced their wage
scale from SO to 50 a day. The
open shop movement is well under
way in four big Texas cities, San
Antonio, Dallas. Houston and Fort
Worth Iron and steel statesmen
report inquiries increasing and a
gain in the amount of tonnage be-
ing spread to southwestern points.
Jobbers who cover this territory
now have a hundred per cent OF
their statesmen for the first time
in two years. The carlot movement
OF Texas onions began yesterday.
BOSTON.
Boston, March 27.-Business in
New England unquestionably has
slowed up in the last few weeks
and conditions look as though they
would be worse before they are bet
ter The two principal New Eng
land industries are textiles and
boots and shoes. People through
out the country cannot or will not
buy shoes and clothing, the cost of
which is still far above the pre-
war figures.
Manufacturers assert these prices
are the result or wage scales which
still are close to the war time peak.
Workers have declined to accept
reductions in wages of 20 per cent
in the cotton mills Of Rhode Island
and New Hampshire and strikes
followed which still continue. The
big cotton mills at Lawrence, Mass,
put a 20 per cent reduction in eff
feet today and a strike will follow.
1t is expected that New Bedford
and Fall River manufacturers may
follow suit.
The mill executives assert they
are not anxious to reduce wages.
but say the hands are being forced
by the big selling agencies which
handle their outputs. Cotton goods
and a large degree woolens, can
not be sold on a basis of present
costs The same situation exists
in the shoe business. Manufactur-
ers say St Louis and other west
ern centers are selling shoes at re-
tail cheaper than they can be made
in New England under present
wage scales. Representative of
the workers claim the cost OF Iiv-
ing prevents acceptance of reduc-
tons.

New York. March 27.-Spring fever
Monday made unnecessary elaborate
precautions taken by the police to guard
against possible disorder in double

march upon city hall with demands for
jobs.
There was no disorder and there was
scarcely any parade. unless one except
ed the host of blue coats who marched
into city hall park like pocket edition
of the annual police procession.
One branch of the parade-seven

The second branch--with nine IN hne

Kansas City Livestock Exchange Charges That
Mistletoe Yards Do Not Feed Corn
and Producer Loses.

Kansas City, March 27.-Hearing of
charges brought by the Kansas City
Livestock exchange against Armour. 4
Co. in connection with the operation
of the Mistletoe stockyards here got
under way Monday. The case is the
first brought under the federal packer
stoekyards control act of 1871. Hear
ings are before Judge b. NJ. Hainer,
commissioner of the federal department
of agriculture.
Hogs are bought by the Fowler Pack
ing company at the Mistletoe yards
here direct from the producers. The
Fowler company is owned by the Ar
mour Packing company. 1t is the con-
tention of the plaintiffs that the, op-
Grafton of the Mistletoe yards tends to
depress the price of hogs on the open
market at Kansas City. that the prices
paid at the AIistletoe yards are arbi-
trarily fixed and interfere with an open
and competitive market and constitute
an effort by the Armour company to
control hog prices paid here.

Violation Of the ordinance is
punishable by a fine Of from S.

more than 10 days, or both.
Proprietors and managers of
women's exclusive smoking rooms,
newly opened, in fashionable, ultra
fashionable and questionable sec
tons of the city, seeing in the
ordinance the ruination of their
business, intimated that they would
carry their fight against it to the

news.

Alderman Peter J. McGuinness
was identified later as the author
Of the ordinance. He admitted it.
He declared, however. that he was
absent from the board meeting the
day it was passed and did not know
one solitary thing about it until
informed Monday night
'.Of course / never knew any
thing about it until now." he said

Many well known men and wo-
men of the city denounced the
ordinance as unconstitutional"
The manner in which the ordi-
nance reached the mayor is envel-
oped in smoke screen of mystery.
Alderman William Il. Collins.
democratic floor leader, stated
Monday night that a motion to
file the ordinance. automatically
killing it, was carried January 10
and that he was certain the meas
ure had not been resurrected. Mr..
Collins added that to his knowledge
no such ordinance ever had been
adopted by the board
A curious feature of the ordi-
nance is that it does not subject
the smokers themselves to punish
ment This fact and the probability
that the ordinance never was pass
ed, were feminine joy thoughts in
a smokeless gloom.

there was warm reply. Thereupon
the court declared the conduct of the
attorneys constituted IAN attempt to
obstruct the orderly progress Of the
trial. and any further such outbreaks
would be treated accordingly" He
added that the names and terms applied
bordered closely on contempt of court.
Norgaard testified that while he was
employed at the studio, Arbuckle asked
him for the keys of Miss Rappe's
room, saying that he wanted to play
joke upon her. He refused the re-
quest, he said.
Norgaard said attorneys for Arbuc-
kle had induced him to return to San
Diego, and serve out sentence at the
county farm which had been imposed
on him for violation of the liquor
laws when he left the farm before
the sentence expired"

An amendment to increase the lump
sum allotment from $27, $685. to
$42,S15, ,661, was offered by Chairman
Dempsey, of the rivers and harbors
committee. and was adopted by vote
of 15S to 81 after three hours Of acri-
monious debate. during which 40 mem
bers aired their views The vote on
the amendment was along sectional
rather than party lines, republicans
splitting on the proposal while most
of the democrats favored it.
The discussion was so protracted that
final vote on the bill could not be
reached. The measure probably will
come to a final vote Tuesday. with
opponents of the Dempsey amendment
privileged under house rules to demand
record vote on the increase at the
last minute.
