ADJUSTMENTS
At ThA Lyric


 The Lyric program for the last half of the week, which opened Thursday night. is composed largely of acts out of the ordinary.
 The audience was put in receptive mood by the first act, Bits of Vaude- ville," by Joe and Willie Hale. The net. composed of several clever juggling feats, steps into the limelight because of the continuous line of whimsical chat ter and the drolL matter-of-fact way in which the stunts are put over.. There IS no impression of the effort required to perfect the feats and no effort made to draw applause, yet the house was Kept in an uproar.
 The merriment was continued in the farce-skit, Wild Oats," presented by Jack Kennedy and company.
 Count Perrone and Miss Trix Oliver proved that the audience, would ap- plaud grand opera and classical songs as well as those of the popular variety. They received fully as much applause for their soprano and baritone duet from Martha as they did for their rendition of "What'll I do?" Besides possessing pleasing voices which harmonize well in the duets, their solo numbers proved each voice to be of better quality and better trained than is usually found on the variety stage.
 The last act, Tango Shoes" proves to be a dancing contest between three couples, who give ancient and humorous interpretations of the tango. The act opens with Bert Cole on the stage and the five other members of the company come across the footlights. Needless to say, it provided plenty of amuse- ment.
 The Pathe News ..el and Aesop's fa- ble pictures, which preceded the vaude- vile, were above the average in timely interest and in real laugh-prOducing jokes,

EXPLAINS LABOR CHARGE

Members of the board Of educauon announced Thursday that the employ ment of non-union labor on the new additions to the Phillips and WoOdlawn High schools was out of it's jurisdic- tion. The announcement followed a protest by the carpenters union that non-union labor was being employed.
 Contracts were turned over to D. D. Thomas and Son, of Memphis, as the lowest bidder for the new additions, and the type of labor employed was a matter for the construt tion company to decide and not the board of educa- ton, according to it's members.

TOKOTNA, ALASKA. JULY 19, 1924
$2O, ,OOO Flowers Dis
 played at Obsequies
 of Chicago Gangster
American Rifeman.

Chicago was recently treated to a spectacle of maudlin sentimentality in connection with the funeral of man said to be notorious gangster. which leaves little doubt as to one reason at assst why criminals flourish, and which is disgusting to all 100 per cent Amer acans who realize that to make mar. syr of the thug and gunman encourages others to defy the law.
 From . Chicago dispatch we learn nhsts
 Thousands of flowers, carpeting the floors of the home of Frank Caponi, al- asEed gangster, slain Tuesday in 8 pis- fel fight with detective squad, were nRAmpled by mourners, including laaRss. politicians, business men, gang land pals, and the detective squad from which came the fatal shot.
 Floral pieces crammed the house and covered the lawn and sidewalk in front. Orders for oS, ,Oo0 worth of flowers were delivered today before the funeral. Nearly $20,0O0 worth of flowers were on display at the obsequies
 CAponi, brother of Alphone Scar face" Csponi, known as "Big Al" Brown, manager of the Four-Deuces Cabaret, was lieutenant of John Tor rie. gang leader and beer runner, &C., cording to the police. He was killed during disturbances incident to the vil Haze election in Cicero, town within nhs limits of Chicago.
 Just why S20.0O0 worth of flowers should have been purchased to carpet Caponi's way to the pearly gates. or why judges business men, and the de- ttective squad from whose ranks sped
The Kusko times., 1924-07-19

the fatal bullet should have joined the gangland mourners, is not at all clear. Why the politicians attended is so ap- parent that it needs no conjecture; in fact it undoubtedly supplies thelreason for the presence of the judges and the detectives. As to the S20,000, it would have been far better spent for the good of future gangsters' souls had it been devoted to teaching the city detectives the gentle art of straight shooting.
 So long as persist such episodes as this-which, while revolting to the law abiding citizen, are as sweet morsels to the gangsters and his ilk-just so long will all firearm regulatory laws, no matter how sane or how carefully drawn, prove useless in suppressing crime. Nor can it be cause for won- der if gangland, some of whose mem bers all too infrequently fall before gun6re, favors and even investigates anti-firearm laws.
 There was considerable virtue as a deterrent in the old English custom of burying executed criminals in quick lime graves dug in public roads and prison yards. The old admonition Speak only good of the dead" can be carried too far.
