TWO TALKS SCI
BY PRESIDENT
DURING TRIP
International News Service

President Roosevelt today com
pleted plans for three-day inspec-
ton swing through the Pennsyl-
vania and New York areas which
were swept by floods last spring,
and scheduled two speeches for the
week.
A formal address will be deliv-
cred at 8 p. m. Friday, from Chau-
tauqua, N. Y, and will deal with
foreign affairs. 1t will be broad
cast.
Coming, as it does, at a time
when Spain is torn with civil war,
and just after discussions between
Mr.. Roosevelt and his naval chiefs
concerning possible reeStablish-
ment of the European squadron of
the fleet, this message was awaited
with more than usual interest.
President Roosevelt will speak
informally at noon Friday when
he will be the honor guest at a
luncheon at the Great Lakes Expo
sition in Cleveland. This address
will probably be extemperaneous,
and will not touch on politics.
Maj. Gen. Edward M. Markham,
chief Of Army Engineers, and other
members of the Presidents special
flood-control committee, will &C.
company the Executive on his in
spection trip into the flood area.
After inspecting the Johnstown
flood area Thursday afternoon,

Ho-Cho' Revue
At Goyety

From the first chorus number
to the final curtain, this weeks
show at the Gayety lives up to it's
title of "Ha-Cha Revue" Although
there have been better shows, you
see, the current attraction is still
a succession of "ha-cha" numbers
and, all together, it ranks well up
forward in the recent history OF
burlesque.
Two stars head the confection-
cry prepared by Col. Jimmy Lake.
They are Lillian Dixon, whose two
5pecialtieS reveal her to be
remarkably handsome lady, and
Mike "Mugging" Sachs, Jewish
comedian whose mobile face is so
funny the customers feel satisfied
after they have seen it once or
twice.
There are other good things on
view on Ninth Street this week,
however, including st. Claire and
Yvonne, whose Den of Death"
dance is far superior to the aver
age burlesque dance number and
ranks big-time. Then there is
Goo Coo" Morrisey. he Of the
dumb pan, who helps Sachs in
keeping the audience in a continu-
Gus good humor.
Part of the continuity of the
good humor is due also to the
