THE STAGE
DETROIT OPERA HOUSE
F Tito cordiality with which a large
HMiencH received the Sheehan Eng
pllli Opera company's presentation,
lUiBHUy evening, in the Detroit opera
HSm7o( “Pinafore, would seem to
Esdicate that there it a soft a pot in
rtbe public heart for the Gilbert ami
r Unfit van operas, whether they be
nlven by all-atar or amateur com
Etawnieß. Heartier approval wan no;
[accorded the pretentions revival of
Rfee opera lact season by a cast of
Bptablee, headed by I>e Wolf lloiiper.
Milan was bestowed upon Mr. Sbee
phan. Francis J. Boyle, and their **•
e listsnts. Monday evening.
DpThe Sheehan offering is distinctly
and well worth the almost
potninal price of admission. The
aingers are above the average, the
j costumes new and fresh, und the
Chorus and entire company put pleti
' ty of life into their work, under the
able click of Musical Director Will- 1
j U.ni J. Glover, The excellent ouches
Ira is larger in numbers and better
hp caliber than many a much herald* i
|#d two-dollar operatic organization j
baa brought to the local theatrical
•aid. Mr Sheehan and his business
are assuredly entitled to
much credit for the liberal manner in j
which they have given Detroit opera,
In English, at the low scale of 116.
and 75 cetns a seat.
While ‘ Pinafore” is not an elabor
ate opera to stage, requiring only thej
one cconio aetting. that of the deck
of a man-o’-war, it must be done
* carefully. The nattiest of white and
blue sailor suits and midy blouses
were provided for the men and
f women
Mr. Sheehan was the Ralph Rack*
•'.Straw, and sang in better voice, per
baps, than at any time during the |
present engagement. Miss Gladys
Caldwell made a pleasing Josephine,
and Mlaa Alma Stetzler sang the mu*
ilc allotted to Buttercup In good voice.
Francis J. Boyle’s Dick Deadeye
was a good bit of comedy work, j
■James McElhearu. the Sir Joseph Por- 1
ter, was brought to Detroit, as waw
Mr. Boyle, especially for the character
be assumed. Mr. McElhearn proved a,
good selection. Francis J. T.vler as.
Bill Bobstay, the bos'n. and John .1.1
Dickinson, as Capt. Corcoran, both
former Detroiters, had ample oppor*
tunity to make a hit with the home j
folk.” Mr. Dickinson sang the gal- 1
fcnt captain’s music in good style, j
He could improve his presetnation of j
the part by “aging” the make-up a
little more.
t The company will give “Pinafore" |
all week with matinees on Wednes
day and Saturday. Next week will
be "farewell" for this season, and
will be made notable in the revival
pf another Gilbert-Sullivan favorite, j
“The Pirates of Penzance," which is
aow having an all star revival in the i
Casino. In New York, and for the lat-;
ter half of the week “Martha."
ELLA MAP: HAWTHORNE. j
TEMPLT .
? Mrs. Louis James, ably supported
by Laurette Browne and Elwood Bost
•wick, in an entertaining little domes
tic comedy-drama. ’’Holding a Hus
band,” has the honor of heading the
bill in the Temple theater, this week,
and those who see the various num
ber! will scarcely question her right
to the place, in spite of the fact that
there are several other acts of top
line caliber. *
The playlet, written by Arthur Hop
bins, author of "The Thunder Gods,"
sow being used by Blanche Walsh
In vaudeville, deals with the affairs
of a married couple and an affinity of
the husband. The “Woman in the
Case' is living in the home of the
eonple and. as may be imagined, some
Interesting love-making scenes are
enacted. The wife. Mary Kendall
(Mrs. James) Anally catches her hus
band. James Kendall (Elwood Bost
wick), and the affinity. Carolyn Hall
(Lauretta Browne), in fond embrace.
Then the trouble starts for James.
But, contrary to the conventionality.
Mrs. Kendall doesn't Ay into hyster
ica and threaten to kill herself. She
adopts a clever ruse to hold her hus
band, leads him to believe that she
baa an affinity of her own. and means
to aid in bringing about the proposed
match between James and Carolyn.
. The scheme cures James of his in-
Infatuation for Carolyn.
8; “The Substitute." a farce, produced
F by Hilda Thomas and Con Hall, also
p'Burlta special mention. There is a
|lot of wholesome comedy in it, the
being a clownish sort of ■
' fellow, who takes the place of a miisic I
professor at a singing rehearsal.
Taylor Holmes, in “a few little ■
storlss and songs." does some mimic
work, including a silent political•
speech which is particularly clever I
Snd entertaining. Other acts are Ken- j
toey end Platt, in "Mr. Nobody." which j
is productive of a series of laughs; I
k M urlel and Frances. "Just Two Girls," j
wrho sing and cut up a ftfw capers;
Charles Montrell, juggler, with a'
black-face comedian as assistant; The
Three Oladenbecks, muscula acrobat!,
and the Three Parrell Sisters. one of i
whom shows remarkable strength
while suspended from a high trapeze,
holding the other two, and on one
occasion a big man in addition, with
her handa while they go through
acrobatic turns. The bill is closed
with the Mooreoscope, which has a
r aeries of new pictures of current
events.
MILES.
Variety is the chief characterisation
of the program In the Miles theater i
this week. The audience Das some-j
thing more than singing, although All
Abbott continues to be the herdline
attraction. In the way of novelty
there are Valentine and Hell in a
highly amusing trick bicycle act. An
agile young man and winsome girl
risk their necks in twirling about on
all kinds of outlandish vehicles The
young man falls against u table. ib<
circular top conies off and — he rides
It. There is a grandfather's clock
standing in the corner, he turns it
around, the circular dial is the wheel
and he rides it, six feet in air. The
lamp. too. has a wheel concealed In
the ahade —and. he rides it. Then
there is the electric fan and tne oval
portrait of his mother-in-law, but he
rides these. The girl displays a heap 1
of norve in riding about on his shoui- j
Paul Stephens, "king of equili
brtste," as he is styled, is minus his
right lag. hut that makes his act all j
the ■ore remarkable, because he docs

of a few jokes and songs by Ned Bur
ton. Norbert Myles and Miss Uyrdine
Zuber. The program calls it a labtoU
musical comedy. The lines are de
cidedly clever.
j Spillman's canine dolls are very
clever. Two smart, little fox tenders
, arq, in doll's costume and they disport
l themselves to the delight of tho chil
dren as well as their elders. They
give their performance without the
trainer being on the stage to cturh
i them.
Redwood and Gordon have a unique
'vocal and instrumental specially. They
first appear as Spanish players Red
wood in the costume of a troubado
playing a mandolin, his companion in
!the gown of a Carmen. Tho young
lady has a fascinating slage presence
and can sing well.
Al Abbott sings a number of new
'songs this week. Including the official
Cadillaqua song. "A Real. Live, Regu
lar Town,” which made a great hit.
As an evidence of Abbott's hold on the
I audience, when he offers to re neat
any of the songs of the last two
weeks there are so many requests
[that he cannot honor them all. Two
of the audiences favorites are (R»e.
But I Like Music With My Meals."
cud “Ragtime Violin," in German
An interesting moving picture play
let concludes the performance.
U. OFM. GRADUATE GETS
IMPORTANT POSITION
Manley Osgood Has Been Ap
pointed City Engineer In
Ann Arbor
ANN ARBOR, Mich., June 11.- Man
ley Osgood, a graduate from the engi
neering department of the university
here, has been appoinetd city engineer
to succeed E. \V. Groves.
Ci roves was recently ousted by the
board of public works because its
members believed he was paying too
much attention to his private ineir
tsts, and too little to the busitio.H of
the city. Osgood is at present assis
ant city engineer of Lima, O. and
comes well recommended. Sin< e leav
ing college he has been employed in
several positions of trust, and the
faculty of the university engineering
school also has given him a hue rec
ommendation. Among the applicants
for the position weer two Detroit melt,
Gleu Tower and F. B. Ross.
The lioar dot health, fearing an epi
demic of typhoid fever, is taking
strenuous means to keep the city’s
water supply pure. At present ihe
city gets its water from the nuron
river, and the presence on the river
bunks of the big construction camp of
employes of the Eastern Michigan
Edison Cos., which Is constructing a big
dam above the city, has cause 1 the
officials to fear contamination of the
water, jn additio nto having inspec
tors on the work at all times, orders
have been lamed that no one may
bathe in the river within a distance of
two miles from the city. The water
company has moved its intake pipe a
quarter of a mile above the present
intake, and every precaution possible
is being taken.
The release from jail on his own
recognizance of Bert Wildsmith yes
etrday, murks the ending of the Wild*
1 smith case.
Wildsmith, with Frances Dewey, of
Ypsilanti, was arrested on a charge of
causing the death of their year-old
adopted son, Charles. Each charged
the other with the crime, but at the
trial testimony was deevloped watch
proved conclusively that the injuries
which caused the death of the young
ster were inAicted at least 24 hours
after Wildsmith. had left hig hone* and
gone to Kalamazoo.
Mrs. Dewey was tried and convicted
of murder, being sentenced to lito
imprisonment in the Detroit House
of Correction, and Wildsmith was the
state's most valuable witness. Al
though he supposed that he was the
woman’s husband, the state developed
the fact that she had never been
legally married to him, as her hus
band. William Dewey, was alive, and
he was allowed to testify against her.
Publication of the facts in the case
was responsible for the resignation of
County Agent W. K. Childs, of this
city, who allowed the couple to adopt
the baby.

PRODUCE.
The most noticeable feature of the
market this morning was the heavy
receipts of poultry Retailers are not
buvlng 'in a large scale at present and
as the b‘g dressers were depended on
to clean up the receipts, the matter of
price was something of a guess Mitch
igan strawberries were also in unex
pc ctedl> large supply this, morning and
were naturally a little easier The
Elgin butter market was up a half
cent, but this was no surprise, and
provisions were also a little higher.

Bipr Army of Correspondents
Provided With Fine Facili
ties In White House
The United States congress places
finer facilities for the handling of
news at the hands of the newspapers
of the country tluin any other legisla
tive body in the world. It feels that
the people are entitled to know what
the government is doing, and pro
vides for the dissemination of tills in
formation in every possible way. t
Hy legislative enactment it has set
aside quarters in each end of the cap
lto! for the use of properly accredited
newspaper correspondents. Both the
senate and the house chambers have
press gallereis where the telegraphic
correspondents of the country and
the representatives of the press asso
ciations and Washington newspapers
may witness the making of! the na
tion's laws. Back of these galleries
is a series of rooms for the benefit
of the newspaper men. There is u
telegraphic room, a writing room,
and a lounging room, in adtlition to
other facilities.
The hoifse of representatives has
still further extended tba* conveni
ences of the newspaper men by pro
viding thorn with a typewriter room.
While congress is in setraion a vast
deal of matter Is sent oat from the
telegraph rooms attached to the press
galleries of the two houses Most of
the stories which appufer in the af
ternoon papers about ijie doings of
congress, have been not on the wire
there. The matter sent out for the
morning papers, is potion the wire in
the uptown offices of* the telegraph
companies.
Only newspaper men whose creden
tials have been passed upon by a
standing committee of correspondents
are eligible to press gallery member
ship. Each gallery )h presided over
by a superintendent, unci several as
sistants, who do all they can to aid
the correspondents in getting the
news of congress to the 90,000,000
people that legislative body repre
sents. James D. Mreston, of the sen
ate pres sgallery, and Charles H.
.Mann, of the hcnwe pres sgallery,
probaly have assisted more newspa

REACTIONARIES HAVE NO
CHANCE AT BALTIMORE
■■ 1 » ■
(Cttstlssad Infs I'age Os«.)
lion of our couv«4Lnion will be influ
enced by the action of the Republican
convention. If a, dark horse should
happen to be our pint form
would have to tse written to corres
pond with the, i*rw conditions wihch
biich a result wumlil create.
In the selectloi nos candidates, also,
our convention ennnot escape from the
influence that will be exerted by the
Republican nomination. The Demo
cratic nominee* will be u progressive
—thut is aJrtluiy settled. No reac
tionary could he nominated now, even
if the Republican situation did not for
bid such ae/tlon on our part. Mr.
Clark and Mr. Wilson, both progres
sives, will lHive. together, more than
a majority—possibly two-thirds —of
the convention. While a few reaction
aries may be included among their
delegates the number cannot be great
enough to* give any hope of those
Democrats, woh are hostile to pro
gressive ideas.
Gov. Harmon will have all of his
own state, Ohio having adopted the
unit rule t but to carry his state by
11,000 majority out of nearly 200,000
votes cajit, and receive less than one
fourth of the vote he received when
he was elected governor, gives him
no standing in u national convention.
The progressives elected 19 district
delegacies in Ohio—more than twice
as many delegates as Mr. Harmon
has secured in all the stales outside
of Ohio.
Mr. Underwood, the other reaction
ary candidate, did not allow his name
to go before the people in 42 of the
48 states, and he carried only four
of tbc states In which he was a can
didate —his own, and three that bor
dered on it. In the three neighbor
ing -states he had a spirited contest
ancf his majority was not large
enough to emphasize ills claims.
If these two men, selected from
among the reai-tlonarles as the two
mo»s: popular of the men holding
their views, have made so poor a
showing, what dark horse of the re
actionary type would have a chance
to secure a nomination at the hands
of a progressive convention?
While neither Clark nor Wilson has
enough votes to make his nomination
certain, the chances are largely in
favor of the nomination of one or the
other of them. If they differed radic
ally in the standpoint from which they
view public questions the contest be
tween them might bring out a com
promise candidate, btu their support
ers have rivaled each other in prais
ing their progressiveness.
The one question which has been
asked—and the answer to it lias de
cided the complexion of the delegates
in most states —is: Which of the two
is the better progressive? Which one
can be most fully trusted to carry out
the principles and policies to which
the Democratic party has been com
mitted for lt> years?
There cannot be a bitter fight be
tween two such candidates, and if
one, whichever one, finally with
draws, the other is quite sure to get
his votes.
Instructions will bind wherever
they have been given—the conven
tion would hardly permit instructions
to be violated —but we mußt expect
some Influence to be exerted by the
public opinion which will express it
self after the Republican convention
has acted. The Democrats are
anxious to win and while it now
seems almost impossible for them to
lose, no matter who is nominated by
the Republicans, still the delegates
to a national convention are usually
men of caution as well as men of en
thusiasm and some of them hpve am
bition. They want the strongest man
nominated and they will sacrifice their
personal chonce when convinced that
someone else is more available. Then
there will be a great many unofficial
visitors and they will have their In
fluence in moulding opinion.
The men who attend a national
convention are the mope active men
In politics, many of them candidates
for local offices. They realibe that
the national ticket can aid or hinder
the campaign in states and counties,
and, other things being equal, they
are ready to shout for the man who,
in their judgment, will poll the most
votes. This public opinion, while it
cannot affect the instructed vote, may
have a determining influence on the
uninstructed vote, and this uninstruct
ed vote may determine the result if
a considerable majority of it is throw-n
to one or the other of the two men
no win the lead.
The conclusion is, therefore, that
either Clark or Wilson will be nom
inated, unless some contingency, now
upnforeseen, arises, but the Chicago
convention may go a long way to
wards determining the relative avail
ability of these two candidates.

TAFT MEN PLAN TO
DEFEAT ATTACK
Kaatl*ur4 rrmu I'm*
trom the headquarters on the A
floor of the Congress Hotel, where
Senator Kenyon has opened headquar
iers for his colleague, Senator Cum
mins, of lowa. The lowa solon has
only ten delegates in the convention,
but he and ills frieuffy think this is
enough to go ou. They were Insfsi •
ing today with the l*a Kolette
strength absolutely intact at all times,
the combiued votes of the senators
trom Wisconsin and from lowa would
deadlock the convention aud prevent
the nomination of either Taft or
Roosevelt. Rut the suggestion of com
promise was welcomed only by the
men whose jobs would be endangered
by party defeat. The Taft and Roose
velt leaders Insisted there wsb no
chance. They declared that from
their viewpoint the fight was already
over and their man the nominee.
The Roosevelt leaders were worried
today over the open boasts of the
Taft men that they will control the
committee on credentials, thus affirm
ing the work of the national commit
tee and making the temporary roll of
delegates prepared by it the perma
nent roll of the convention. So cer
tain were the Taft claims that Joseph
Healing, Indiana expert selected as
chairman of the Taft vigilantes, or as
it prefers to be called, steering com
mittee, gave figures. “We will have
the committee 32 to 21,*’ he said
Senator Borah, Senator Dixon.
Frank Kellogg and other of the
Roosevelt leaders took exception to
this statement. They declared that
only by the most flagrant robbery
could the Taft people put such a pro
gram through, and that If it was done
and the convention ever permitted to
receive a report of that kind real
trouble could uot be averted.
Committee Takes Up
he?itucky Contest
CHICAGO, June 11.—With the
decks cleanxi for action following
the stormy sessions in connection
with the Indiana contests where vic
tory went completely to the Taft
forces, the nationul committee took
up toduy the contests in Kentucky,
another of the direct primary states
where Col. Roosevelt alleges that h»*
was robed. This light centered di
rectly on the redistricting of the
state b ythe legislature. The dele
gates to the state convention were
elected under district lines that had
been changed by the legislature ami
the Roosevelt forces also alleged thin
intimidation and fraud were rampant
in several of the congressional dis
tricts.
The real fighting days in the com
mittee have been reached. So far
as the southern contests were con
fined. the real Roosevelt leaders in
ihe national committee. Senator Bor
ah, Bill Ward, Frank B. Kellogg and
Cecil I,yon were not very much in
terested in the outcome. But now
that the direct primary states are
under consideration and the point at
issue is the allegations that the vot
ers were not given an opportunity to
have their wishes recorded properly
the line of division has become very
marked.
The Roosevelt men were well
pleased today. They believed thev
had won a decided strategic victory
when the committee, after steam
rollering them out of existence in the
thirteenth Indiana contest and re
fused to accept what was declared to
be conclusive evidences of fraud, com
pleted reversed itself and accepted
all of the evidence. They insisted
that this established a precedent taht
would material! yaid them when the
Missouri contests are reported lato to
day or tomor^w.
