The Kelso brothers would have no
trouble in staging the entire show at
the Palace this weekend as they
appear in three out of the five acts.
The brothers are comedians who
have been in burlesque the past
season. In changing from the bur
lesque stage to the variety theater,
they have brought nearly all Of
their well known stunts.
These men register easily and
even if their material is slapstick or
hokum the fact remains that they
get many laughs from the audience.
The brothers first appear in
Cray Quilt Revue" in which the
comedians have some fun with a
magician who attempts to make
pancakes in a hat borrowed from
a man in the audience.
They get into action again when

The negatives made the following
three points: The character OF the

not help either Russia or the Unit

all that isdeslred
These points were sub divided and

Some of the Glasgow mixers were

was not absolutely sober had to be
handed over TO the police.
On the other hand the mixers from
Dundee passed a vote OF thanks TO
the poor law authorities for the
treatment received.
The Alexandria mixers seemingly
rerented for the conduct of some of
their members. for subsequently they
expressed regret at what had hap
pened and hoped that the fact would
rot be used against them in their
future journey.
The Manchester poor law authori-

low Yesterday afternoon and furnished
$500 bonds for his appearance at the
superior court at the April meeting.
Lapicrre was arrested Thursday eve
ming by Deputy Sheriff Harry Pink
ham after a hot chase down Front
street Deputy pinkham remarked
during his testimony that he ordered
Lanierro to stop or he would plug him.
He also added that he had left his gun
in the judges office before going on
the raid and had only his flashlieht
with him According to the evidence
Lapierre had 50-yard start on Deputy
Pinkham and when he was ordered 10
stop the deputy was only 10 feet away
Deputy sheriff Carl Fellows was the
first witness in the case. He testiiied
that he was the complainant in the
case. acting on information received
that Lapierre was pocket peddling. Mr'
Fellows. in company with Deputies
rinkban, Megill and Cole, went to Mr.
Lapierrc's homo on Front street about
o'clock Thursday evening with two

and the other for arrestng Lapierre

dozen empties that did not smell or IL
ouor. Mr.. Fellows said that when La
pierre came TO the door MIR. Cole was
in n closet and he was half under the
kitchen sink. so he did not know much
about the arrest. Mr.. Pinkham rushed
TO the door with Megill close behind.
and the last that Mr.. Fellows saw was
Mr.. Pinkham chasing the respondent
down the street.
Nv ps.,l. testified 70 coming out
Of the room near the outside door and
chasing Iapierre for several hundred
yards I.apierre dropped the can of
alcohol into tie snow almost out or
sight just before Pinkham caught up
with him. The can was wrapped in
newspaper and in a paper bag. La
pierre told Pinkham that the contents
were alcohol.
At this time the Judge decided that
he would like to see and smell OF the
evidence. so everyone present in the
office except the respondent and Judges
stenographer tried TO unscrew the cap
from the can, but II was finally ncces-
sary to resort to n pair of pliers Dor
rowed from the City hall janitor to
take the cap off.
Deputy Sheriff Edwin F. MeSill said
that he was standing in the kitchen
and noticed the woman there with
baby go close to the door. He heard the
outside door open quietly and saw the
knob Of the inside door turn. Then
the woman opened the door just little
and said something in low tone. Dep
uty Megiil asked her who was there
and she said she did not know. Megill
started for the door but the woman
impeded him as much as possible but
Finfham rushed by and went out ahead
of Megill.
The judge asked Lapierre If he wish
cd to say anything. and the respondent
answered in the negative, so the State
rested and the sentence was given.
