As all STylocks are interesting
although they are bad, it was high
ly interesting last night to observe
Sothern create Shylock again. His
Shylock is a relentless creature
when in power, and he is a savage,
whining wreck when in distress.
Sothern gives Shylock no quarter
and draws him along certain racial
lines.
Although laboring under a severe
cold, Sothern last night retained
the fine qualities of voice and his
keen Intelligence and devotion to
the stage.

better than last season when she
scored such a triumph here.
Here is, I honestly believe, the

Sidestepping of Costs to
Go Under Fire on
Senate Floor.

Inadequacy of the senate armory

uled for discussion when the report
comes to the senate floor as a
special order of business at 8 p. m.
today.
Senator Alonzo H. Lindley, King
man, chairman of the probe COM
mittee, is likely to be called upon 70
explain why it was that the evil
dence gathered regarding construc-
ton costs was not incorporated in
the final draft.
Lindley already has stated that
in his opinion the tommittee was
not empowered to go into the ques-
ton. He has prepared bills which,
if passed, will turn the matter over
to the state board of accounts.
Berne, author of the resolution
launching the investigation, may
have something to say regarding its
scope, he asserted. His whole in
tention was to lave the costs. gone
into, he declared.
Witnesses testified that one
armory which was built for 100000
will cost the state almost 100000
and an estimate of its worth was
placed at $4,000.
This armory, Franklin, was the
one where a concrete drive was paid
for and a cinder path laid, where
copper cornices we're in the speci-
fications and painted ones on the
building.

the stage has written dramatic his
tory of high quality. To Others pos
sibly, it was an introduction of E.
H. Sothern.
1 had time last night only to hear
him read certain scenes from
Shakespeare's Macbeth" with its
gigantic murder scene, and "Mer-
chant of Venice" with its trial
scene in which we have Shylock,
Portia and the others. Sothern
creates his different characters with
as much ease as Miss Ruth Draper
develops her many characters. Mr..
Sothern was dressed in a tuxedo and
there was table and a couple OF
benches upon the stage. He needed
nothing in addition but his voice
and memory to create the charac-
tiers of Shakespeare.
I think that it is a happy idea to
have Sothern, even at his age, to
recreate scenes from many of his
former successes. The voice-the
voice with symphonic Qualities
which distinguished all of his char
acterizations upon the stages
still there. He put real fire into the
lines of Macbeth as well as Lady

How often the Konjola Man, who is
at the Hook Drug Store, Illinois and
/ Washington streets, this city, hears
the expression How 1 wish had

should have had in the first place"

able benefits they derived through
the use of this medicine. Many Of
his callers are people in poor health,
seeking to find the road to new and
glorious health. The Konjola
is pointing out to them case after
case wherein Konjola proved the
first and only medicine that brought
relief. Take, for instance, the state
ment OF Mrs. Emma Hamilton, 1914
East Tenth street, this city, who
had a most remarkable experience
with Konjola:
"After l had taken brief treat
ment of Konjola I realized that It
was the medicine 1 should have had
in the first place. For ten long
years I suffered from kidney trouble
of the worst sort. Severe pains in
my back almost prevented me from
getting around. Night and day they
affected me; my feet and ankles
we're swollen and sore, in fact, my
whole body was filled with these
sharp, agonizing pains. Due to the
sluggishness of my liver I became
subject to dizzy spells, when hun
dreds Of spots appeared before my
eyes. I was becoming weaker and
more rundown daily-often barely
being able to get out of bed in the
morning. Worst Of all was the fact
that nothing gave me the slightest
bit of relief.
ut was just when my case was
at it's worst that 1 started on the
Konjola treatment. This medicine
certainly had the most adverse con
ditions to work under. But dc you
think that made any difference?
Certainly not, Konjola did not
faIter. 1t went right to the source
of my troubles and in little over a
month I was well and happy
woman. Konjola strengthened and
invigorated my kidneys-banisted
the swelling and pains. My liver
was regulated so that the dizzy
spells vanished and new energy and
vigor took hold of my system. Kon-
jols alone is responsible for the re-
markable change in my health ]
owe everything to it. I can fully
understand why it is called the
master medicine of them all and ]
praise it to everyone-young and
old"
This is not an exceptional case
Konjola has thousands of them to
its credit. Daily more and more
men and women are describing the
benefits they derived through its
use. It is said that no sufferer can

LEAVES CAR z
BLOCKS FROM
FATAL CRASH
Fate Saves Life of Woman
in Auto in Which Pair Die
at Rail Crossing.

Fate appeared in an unusual role
late Monday when the lives of a
man and woman were ground out
beneath the wheels of passenger
train on the pennsylvania Railroad
tracks at Troy avenue, it was
learned today.
Fate held the death toll TO two
instead of three.
Those killed we're Mrs. Lillian
Anderson, 80, of r. r. 6, and Fred
Vending, 40, of 1418 Central ave-
nue., who we're in Weddings auto
mobile when it coasted on the tracks
in the path of the train.
Mrs. w. A. Stout. Mrs. Ander-
sons foster mother had alighted
from the car two blocks from the
scene of the fatal crash despite the
urging of the two to accompany
them to barbecue stand on Madi-
son operated by her husband, she
revealed today.
Weddings car was carried ap-
proximately three hundred feet on
the pilot of the engine before the
train could be halted, and tie man
gled bodies of the two victims were
found in bits of wreckage under the
second coach of the train
The bodies were so mangled that
Identification was not established
for some time after the accident.
After Questioning the train crew,
and learning the whistle had been
sounded for the crossing, Coroner
Charles H. Keever permitted the
train to continue.
Mrs. Anderson formerly was the
wife of Ralph M. Anderson, gro
Ger, from whom she was divorced
six years ago. She has two chill
dren, Helen Louise, II, and
Charles, 9.
Vending, who was the house
man at the w. A. Stout home, is
survived by his parents, Mr.. and
