THE McNary-Clarke bill, passed
by the house, is regarded as ex-

median himself-laugh purveyor to
the millions-was author as well as
distributor of a goodly part.
Dock stader's success was attribut-
ed chiefly to his knowledge of what
the public wanted in the way of
amusement, and his ability to meet
the demand. In early life he became
student of the lighter side of
human nature, and for years kept a
mental ledger in which his most sue
cessfuI qu;ps were cataloged. When
he needed new material he simply
took an old whe eze and told it with
a different twist.
Old Jokes Best.
Jokes about the Ark, Jonah, Con-
gress and Hoboken were always sure
of a laugh, he once said, because the
public liked d new joke on an old
subject better than an old joke on
a new subject. An old joke was
easier to get over" he maintained,
"because the audience knew just
when to laugh
Lew Dockstader, whose real name
was George Alfred Clapp. was born
in Hartford, Conn, August Z, 1856.
He learned to play several musical
Instruments in his boyhood, and for
Il years was member of an anna
teur minstrel band before making
his professional debut. In 1873 he
signed with the Earl, Emmett and
Wild troupe for a tour Of the East
ern States, and later transferred to
the Bloodgood Comic Alliance of
Springfield. Mass.
The following year he joined the
Whitmore and Clark mintrels. and
after tour lasting several months,
made his way to San Francisco,
where he appeared in a song and
dance skit at the new Adelphi Thea
ter, under the management of Cogill
and Cooper. The famous old song,
Peter. You're in Luck This Morn
ing" was one of his own choosing,
and made Dockstader the headliner.
Joining Sargent's Minstrels, he re-
turned to New York and formed a
with Charles Dockstader,
who, despite the name, was no rela-
ton to Lew. The Charles and Lew
Dock stader Minstrels prospered for
a time, but were disbanded when
Charles became ill and was forced
to retire. Lew Dockstader imme-
diately formed another company, and
for the first time became sole owner
of his own. attraction. He was %
years old at the time.
Appeared in Vaudeville.
In 1886 the Dockstader MinstrelS
were established in New York for a
long run, and for more than three
years were as much of a fixture as
city Hall itself. In 1890, however.
financial difficulties arose, and the
comedian was forced to strike out
for himself, and for several years he
was alone in vaudeville on all the

try.

GEN. w. G. HAAN DEAD:
HAD NOTABLE RECORD
Retired Officer Commanded 32d
Division in France in
World War.

Maj. Gen. William G. Haan, U. 6.
Army. retired, who commanded the
32d DIVISION in France, died at Mount
Alto Hospital here last night For
several months he had been in i'll
health at his home in Milwaukee, and
came here about two weeks ago for
treatment. A fracture of the kidney
was the cause of death, it was said
HIS wife was at the bedside when the
end came. Funeral arrangements
have not yet been made. In addition
to his widow, he is survived by two
brothers
Born in Indiana, October 4, 1863,
Gen. Haan was graduated from the
Military Academy in June, 1889, and
from the Army War College in 1905.
He served with the Sd Artillery in
the Philippine Islands in the Spanish
war. and took an active part in the
battle of Manila in August, 1898.
From October, 1906, to March, 1907, he
was military secretary of the Army
OF Cuban Paci1cation.
During the World War he first
commanded the coast defenses of
Eastern New York, and then success
lively commanded the 57th Field Ar
tillery Brigade, and the 32d Division
at Camp Macarthur. Waco, Tex. In
February, 1918, he accompanied the
sd Division to France. and took a
prominent part in the Argonne-
Meuse offensive. and in the brilliant
and successful attack against the
Cote Dame Marie, covering several
days, which deprived the enemy of
the key point of the position.
For that service he was awarded
the distinguished service medal. He
was attached to the General Staff
Corps from 1903 to 1906, and also
from 1912 to 1914 He was made
major general in the Regular Army

always know when the ghost walked,
but those boys did. They even knew
how to make him appear before he

In 1898 Dockstader formed a part
nership with the owner of the Prim-
rose Minstrels, which continued un-
til 1903, when DoCkStader again be-
came sole proprietor of the aggrega-
ton. Since that time he has been
continuously upon the stage either
AS owner of minstrel troupe or as
single attraction.
He is said TO have been before the
public longer than any other black
face comedian, and to have had the
honor and distinction-as well as the
pleasant sensation-of receiving the
largest salary ever paid in this
branch of the profession
