Los Angeles, Cal., May 22. Two
men are prisoners in the private
chambers of District Attorney John
D. Fredericks here to-night, and
both of them are accused of enter
ing a conspiracy to dynamite the
million dollar Hall of Records
building here on September 8,
1910.
One of them is B. H. Conners, a
former structural iron worker of
this city, and the other is James
Hendricks, who has been promi
nently identified with the local
strike situation here.
SEVEN IMPLICATED.
After the two men had been closely
questioned bv Detective S. L.
Broune, it
was announced by District
Attorney
Fredericks that additional arrests would
follow this evening. It is understood
that seven men hae been implicated In
the alleged plot to dynamite the build
ing, and it Is charged that a woman.
known to the authorities under the name
of Miss Ross, will also be taken Into
custody.
For three months Chief DetectUe Sam
uel Browne, of the district attorney's
office and his men have been following
Conners. and his arrest came to-day as
he was making preparations to leave for
Seattle. When told that he was wanted
at the district attorney's office, Conners
made an attempt to secape.
The arrest of Hendricks camo only a
few minutes after Conners was in the
private office of the district attorney.
Hendricks was found at his home, and
when told that he was under arrest he
made protestations of his innocence and
denied that he knew Conners, and claimed
that he knew- nothing of the alleged
plot to destroy the Hall of Records, which
Is being constucted here by the Llewellyn
Iron Works, one of the companies which
has fought the structural iron workers in
this city.
Conners Slugged Officer.
When the alleged attempt was made
to dynamite the structure, Conners was
placed under arrest. He was found lurk
ing near an entrance to the building, and
when a policeman challenged him, Con
ners struck the officer, and at that time
made a temporary escape. He was then
taken into custody and taken to the
city Jail
For several weeks Conners was held a
prisoner, but no evidence was secured
against him upon which a felony com
plaint could be based. He was finally
prosecuted, however, on a battery charge
and was sentenced to fifty days in the
city Jail on a charge of assaulting the
policeman who had taken him into cus
tody. After serving his sentence Conners left
Los Angeles and for a time was em
ployed at The Needles. He was located
there by Detective Browne and an opera
tive has been his constant companion
since that time.
Conners made no movement In this city
that was not known to the District At
torney, and to-day, when It was learned
that he had planned to go to Canada,
Brow no determined to arrest him.
Late to-night District Attorney Fred
ericks stated that he had called a special
session of the grand Jury to -meet to
morrow morning. Several of the suspects
now under surveillance will be sum
moned before this body and probably In
dicted and arrested during the day. No
additional arrests were made to-night.

The Vagabonds, as the new stock com
pany at the Belasco Theater have elected
call themselves, made their bow to
a goodly hot-weatner audience last even
ing In Barrie's masterpiece of tender non
sense, "Peter Pan." The selection of this
fantasy imposed far greater responsibili
ties upon players and stage management
than the usual summer stock organiza
tion is willing or able to assume. That
the result was far from unsatisfactory is
a tribute to the general ability of the
players and the care displayed In the
.staging of this aambltious undertaking.
And yet it was not good Judgment to
choose so delicately whimsical a play
for popular presentation. The humor
that lurks In nearly every crook and
cranny of this play is too elusive, and
the symbolism of Its fairy tale too subtle
for general consumption. When that
national Idol, Maude Adams, dowered the
role of Peter with her maglo personality
and sweet genius, this creation of the
whimsical Scot was received apathetically
by thousands in the hosts that flocked
In merely because it was Adams. Your
average American Is too busy feeding
mouths and his fair partner too engrossed
In the prosaic but necessary details of
housekeeping to appreciate or even under
stand Barrie's brief for the fairies.
Peter Pan will live, however, even If he
never grows up. He Is as Immortal as his
cousin Alice. But It will not be the sum
mer stock company that will keep him
alive. Miss Adams probably will revivify
the role before long; but when she has
passed Into the ever-ever land, Peter will
have to make his home in a book to be
read by children of all ages and for all
ages. To be sure, our British cousins
have made of Peter Pan an annual habit.
Once every winter he Is called upon to
lead the Darling children through their
marvelous adventures In Never-Xever
Land. The English may not have the
same Idea of humor that we delight to
call American, but tliey are tenacious of
their fun and, unlike us, once they ap
preciate a Joke, they like to hear it over
and over again.
Mrs. Hopkins was the Peter Pan last
night. She gave a most creditable per
formance, brimming with light Jojousness
and youthful charm, slightly less effect
ive In the more serious moments. Her
husband, Charles Hopkins, played two
parts, Mr. Darling and tho redoubtable
CnpL Hook, chief of the pirates, he who
dreads the approach of the crocodile
whose presence Is always foreshadowed
by the ticking of the clock, upon which
hf had once lunched hastily and none too
satisfactorily. Mr. Hopkins gave the
part of Darling its proper farcical touch,
and as Hook could not have been im
proved upon. As leading woman and
man, the Hopkines gave promise of many
highly enjoyable performances this sum
mer. The Mrs. Darling of Florenco Hunt
ington gave this excellent actress little
to do, but that little was pleasantly done.
The other grown-ups in the cast ap
peared mainly as pirates, and we shall
have to await their resumption of more
human physlolgoical aspects before identi
fying thesm. A more gorlsh-looklng band
of child-eating mariners never was seen.
Vera Fuller Mellish and Gertrude
Augarde are the two grown-ups who
played children, and it Is only charitable
to defer further comment until they are
seen In parts suitable to their years. The
work of the real kiddies was commend
able In each particular. Margaret Shel
by, as the tiny Michael, was Just too cute
for anything, and Imogen Fairchild, who
made her professional debut at Tootles,
gives promise of a successful future.
At the conclusion of the performance
Mrs. Hopkins, as sponsor for tho Vaga
bonds, recited the following epilogue:
Dear friends, the curtains down, the play is done;
Our little, mimic web of life is spun.
Yet rue a moment e'er you go, and hear
Our thanks for all the pleasure and good cheer
Your kind applause has brought us. Would 'twere
true
That you like us as much as we like you I
We're called the "Vagabonds" long years ago
Shakespeare and his gay comrades were called so.
The deathless poet took up the word of shuns
And piped it with immortal song to fame.
Thorn days an dead, yet are we strollers still;
Come! Will you follow us? For if you will
Well lead you through the magic paths that weare
In and about the Land of Make-bcUtre.
Now on Its steamer slopes adrentiiricg.
Now in its pleasant yalleys lingering.
And take this message with you. for 'tis true;
II we arp Vagabonds, It's all for you.
THE COSMOS.
An enjoyable bill of refined vaudeville
specialties was seen at the Cosmos last
night In which the Three O'Connor Sis
ters presented a singing and dancing
turn that found Instant favor. An In
teresting and humorous satire on modern
society and married life Is offered by
Selma Walt rs and Herbert Frank In "A.
Woman's Way."' 'Ashbom's animals, a
dog, pony, and goat circus proved to
be one of the best-trained collections
of animals seen here this season, their
clever performance being a welcome di
version to the little ones. Madeira
Shone, billed as the Jolly Bis Girl, has
a clever monologue and. two funny songs.
She was easily the coroedr hit of th hilt.
The Stilsons, comedy clown -acrobats and
ueurci jumpers, ana- lawreBc Raden,
panied by J. E. Du8k!n, another teleg
rapher, and the trio went to Baltimore.
Before going Wood said .that Wynn
paid him $25 he had borrowed from him
last February when he (Wynn) was mar
ried in Rockvllle.
Wood accompanied the pair tq Balti
more and on the way over he says that
Wynn told him he had "bunkoed" the
Western Union Telegraph Company out
of a sum of money. Wood did not think
this was possible, and told him so. When
the trio reached Baltimore Wood was
separated from the other twq and, after
trying to find them for several hours, re
turned to Washington.
Wood is detained at the First precinct
station.
THEATERS.
THE COLUMBIA.
"A AVomnn'a Way."
The Cclumbla Players could hardly have
chosen a better vehicle for the entertain
ment of a summer night's audience than
Thomas Buchanan's comedy, "A Wom
an's Way." The comedy Is so acute and
continuous as to effectually relieve the
mind of the depressing effects produced
by the humidity. The capacity audience
of last night, at least, seemed to bo so
entirely engrossed in the theme and so
merry over the situations as to be com
pletely oblivious to all else.
The play Is not all comedy, either, for
there is a serious lesson Involved. A
woman finds her husband, whom she
truly loves, slipping away from her, the
case being brought to a focus at the be
ginning of the play by an automobile ac
cident, threatening a scandal and proba
ble divorce. Sho resolves to make a fight
for his affections, and Invites the woman
In the case to her house with all the rela
tives on cither side present. It develops
that the aforesaid woman In tho case had
previously had an affair with nearly all
the men present, and a series of remark
ably laughable compllcatlor ensue, to
the end that the womanly tact of the
wife wins out. and her husband fore
swears all future Indiscretions.
The play Is admirably acted, with Miss
Neilson as the wifo and Mr. Van Btiren
as the husband forming tho axis around
which evprythlng revolves. Both were
cast in congenial roles and both took ad
vantage of every opportunity. There are
spokes In the wheel of merriment, how
ever. Including Emelie Melville, as Mrs.
Livingstone, a dowager role quite suited
to her; Cora Thatcher, as Mrs. Blake
more, "the woman;" Frederick Forrest
er, as Oliver Whitney; George W. Bar
bler, as Gen. Livingstone; Everett Butter
fleld, as Bob Livingstone; Jessie Glen
dinning, as Sallie Livingstone: Marie
Ralston, as Mrs. Stanton; Mlr.a Melville,
as Mrs. Belle Morris: John Kline, as
Ned Morris: Arthur Ritchie, as Mr.
Lynch, and Stanley James, as Wilson,
the butler. In the case of the last men
tioned. It Is timely to comment the uni
form excellence of his character acting.
His impersonations are always true to
type and presented with finish;
THE CASINO.
The vaudeville programme at the Ca
sino this week Is one of the best seen
at that house this season, without any
especial head-line act, all the enter
tainers coming under tho feature head
ing. The bill was opened by the St.
Lows, introducing a clever youngster.
aged about (He years, who dressed as
a college youth, sang a duet with
young lady, a solo by the boy paving
the way for the stage to be set with a
trapeze, on which the feminine part o
the team appeared In a most graceful
acrobatic exhibition. Tho next number
was Peplno, who made a hit with his
playing on the concert accordion. James
Kcane & Co. appeared in a comedy
sketch, in which a strolling actor,
stranded in Mexico, gives out to a
wealthy uncle In New York that he Is
captured by bandits and wants a large
sum for ransom with which sum he In
tends to spend marrying a Mexican si
gnorita. Cameron and Marker, come
dians, sang and talked nonsense, one
dressed as Harry Lauder and the other
as a British Tommy. Whitman Broth
ers, contortionists, presented a novel
act, the bill closing with a dainty of
fering by Mucther and Davis, who ap
peared In five or six changes of cos
tumes and sang catchy songs.
THE GAYETY.
"Follies of Xcw York and Paris."
Although the weather man was a bit
unkind, the audience enjoyed themselves
to their fullest extent at the Gayety last
evening. The Follies of New York and
Paris is practically the same show we
witnessed before, except for a few
changes In the cast. It was with pleas
ure we welcomed our friend, Jennie Aus
tin. This young lady Is without a doubt
the one best bet. In her song numbers,
namely, "I'll Build a Fence Around You"
and "Baby Blue Eyes," she was encored
repeatedly. Harry Woods has the prin
cipal comedy part and scored heavily.
Harvey Green, Murry Belmont, Frank
Hayes, and Henry Nelson formed the re
mainder of the male part of the princi
pals. Anna faults, Flo Zella, Mildred Man
tel!, and Nora Davis the female con
tingent. The work of the Alpine Quar
tet was enjoyed, as were the Eight Eng
lish Roses. In their specialty dance. The
show Is a pleasing one, the songs being
catchy and the chorus work excellent.

OATH OF OFFICE
Henry L. Stlmson, of New York, was
sworn In yesterday as Secretary of War.
His first day as a member of the Cabinet
was short and crowded. He did not stay
on the Job long, however, for he left
Washington at 4 o'clock to return to
New York.
Mr. Stimson reached Washington early
yesterday morning. He first visited the
White House, accompanied by Senator
Root and Representative Dwlght. After
chatting with the President for a short
time, he w ent over to the War Deparment
to be Inducted Into office. He met Gen.
Dickinson, the retiring Secretary, who
escorted him Into his new office. The
oath was administered by John B. Ran
dolph, chief of the record division of
the War Department. His commission
was delivered by J. C. Schofield, assistant
chief clerk of the department. Mr Dick
inson, Assistant Secretary of War Robert
Shaw Oliver. MaJ. Gen. Leonard Wood,
Chief of Staff; Senator Root, and Repre
sentative Dwlght witnessed the ceremony.
In the meantime all the ofllcers on duty
in the War Department had assembled
in the oflice of the Chief of Staff. They
were In uniform, and many of them
wore white duck trousers. They were
presented to Secretary StlmEon by Mr.
Dickinson. After the army officers had
paid their respects, the civilian employes
of the department were Introduced.
The new Secretary then began work. He
completed a draft of a speech in advocacy
of Canadian reciprocity, which he will
deliver before tho Intercolonial Club, of
Boston, to-morrow night. He Is not ex
pected to return to Washington before
next week.
Mr. Dickinson, the retiring Secretary,
accompanied oy Mrs Dickinson, called at
the White House In the afternoon to pay
their respects before leaving for Nash
ville, Tcnn.
SUMMER CAPITAL
SITES PLENTIFUL
Three other places besides Wayrata. on
Lake Mlnnetonka, In Minnesota, have
entered into the competition to be desig
nated as the summer headquarters of
the President of the United States. A
delegation from Michigan called at tho
White House yesterday to picture to
Mr. Taft the beauties of Macklnao
Island.
Representative Austin, of Tennessee,
spoke a kind word for Bald Knob, a
lofty elevation In tho Smoky Mountains
of his State.
A man on one of the Thousand Islands
In the St. Lawrence has offered the
President a. site for a summer on his
particular island if Mr. Taft "will con
struct a building thereon." According
to letters and telegrams received at the
White House, other resorts Intend to en
ter the lists.
The delegation that plans to come
from Minneapolis to tell the President all
about the good points to Mlnnetonka will
get a cordial reception. The Michigan
delegation, which spoke yesterday in be
half of Mackinac Island, left the White
House very much encouraged. The
President's eyes glistened as he listened
to the rhapsodies indulged by the Mich'
igan men over the Mackinac Island golf
course.
The chances are that tho President
will visit Mackinac Island this summer
for a brief stay.
Representative Austin waxed enthu
siastic over Bald Knob. It was so high
In the air that fresh breezes blew there
at all hours of the day and night, he
said. The people of Bald Knob also had
a house available that they would give
over to the President's use. The Presi
dent thanked Mr. Austin for the good
intentions of his constituents.
Mr. Taft wrote a letter acknowledging
the offer of the man on the Thousand
Islands.
In the meantime Wayzata Is on the
ground floor. It got its bid In first, and
there Is good reason to believe that when
the President goes West to Mackinac
Island he will extend his trip to Lake
Mlnnetonka.
Representative Nye will formally bring
to the attention of Congress this week
the bid of Wayzata to be designated the
summer headquarters of Presidents. He
will Introduce a bill donating a desirable
site at Wayzata, overlooking the lake.
William Henry Eustls, of Minneapolis,
was at the White House yesterday. He

said that if the President and Congress
approved Wayzata would donate a home
as well as a site. As . practical propo
sition the government frequently selects
sites for buildings to be used for public
purposes, but rarely has It accepted a
building. For that reason the Nye bill
will provide an appropriation for a Presi
dent's residence at Wsyzata on a site
to be donated by the town.
SOCIETY HONORS
J. H. DICKINSON
The Southern Society of Washington
paid tribute last night to Its first presi
dent, J. M. Dickinson, former Secretary

Andrew Jackson's riflemen in Kentucky
and Tennessee.
BUI Philips' long ride from Washington
to the South to inform Gen. Jackson

land In 1S12 was mentioned as a deed of
valor that had never been properly re
corded. Other facts mentioned were that
Thomas Jefferson started the cultiva
tion of wheat in this country by bring
ing it over from France secreted In his
clothing, and that he also brought rice
from Italy and started Its cultivation In
South Carolina.
Mr. Sisson said that in 1860 all the tax
able property in the United States was

GOULD COMBINES
, VIRGINIA LINES
Special to The Washington Herald.
New York, May 22. By tho consum
imatlon to-day of a transaction that had
been In negotiation for months, Frank J.
Gould made himself master of the trac
tion situation in Virginia, and at the
same time obtained control of smuch of
the natural water power of the State.
For several years young Gould has con
trolled the street railway system of Rich
mond. Gradually he extended that con
trol to the lighting and power facilities.
Then he quietly bought Into the same
public utilities of Petersburg, Portsmouth,
and Norfolk.
His Rlchsmond Interests are known un
der the chartered name of the Virginia
Railway and Power Company. Those on
the famed waters of Hampton Roads

The capitalization of the merger was
fixed at J30.000.000. The corporate name
adopted is the Richmond Railway and
