POLI'S VAUDEVILLE
SEASON OPENS TO
CROWDED HOUS
Poll's New Theatre opened its reg
ular vaudevdlle season yesterday with
a brand of varied vaudeville which- if
continued throughout the season as
sures crowded houses as well as well
pleased audiences at each perform
, ance. There is no (better booster for
a. show than the man who paid out
! regular money- and took in the bill.
Those who did - part with the coin
yesterday are today telling their friends
. that the opening 'was "just great." It
- was. ' -'
'There are six acta- on the diverei-
fied bill and four photoplays, every one
of which pleased the three audiences.
There are several changes from past
seasons. Three performance are now
riven each day instead of two. . This
Is a popular move allowing the patron
to drop in on the evening; performance
'at almost any time and yet see , the
entire .bill. Instead -. of seven -acts of
former years there - are half -a doz
en. while best of all . the ecale of prices
has been reduced all around, l he
good standard of . the acta is main
tained. however. '
The much diseussed sale" of ; narcotics
nd Its consequent ravages upon the
, human frame are vividly portrayed
, in the playlet, "Dope, depleted by

Mueller, is one of the principal mem
bers of Dave Marion's new big
"Dreamland Company," which makes
its annearance here, at the Park
' Theatre., next Thursday, for a 3 days
'engagement. The Countess is a mem-
' her of the: German rfobility- who has
taken up the stage as a diversion from
the strenuous social obligations at
home, she is said to be possessed of a
charming personality, and a fine so
prano voice, with 'which' accomplish
ments she is sure to make a success
on . the stage, and prbj-e a most valu
able acquisition to burlesque...
What crooks were to the , stage . last
year and for some seasons past, klep
tomaniacs are to this year. As a
matter of fact, we haven't had a sim-
on pure kleptomaniac pray since siya
Fitch, wrote "The Girl and The Judge.;
for Mrs. McKee Rankin and Annie
Russell. On the stage, of course, as
in real life, and as sometimes in the
police courts, there is air t the differr
ence between "Who's Who" and the
City Directory. .Kleptomania in all
its forms always carries class and dis
tinction with it which raises it so far
'above the mere mediocrity 4 of petty
larceny that it reaches almost the ro--montie
attitude of a second ' story
. feat. And in the farce which is to
"be presented at the Park Theatre,
Sept 1st and, 2nd with Labor Day
matinee there are, to make the assur
ance of sneak thieves doubly sure, two
kleptomaniacs. .One is thef bride-,
groom who is about to! be married to a
blushing young bride, and the other is
the bride's honorable father.
This ' farce had its premier produc-

MEN OF REVOLUTION
KNEW HORRORS OF
CONVICT SHIP LIFE
m. - i
Visit of "Success" Recalls The
Story of The Floating
Prison Jersey
More Than 5,000 Patriots Were
Confined Aboard Dismantled
I Ship-Dr. Bowman's Diary
The visit of the convicti ship "Suc
cess" -.to Bridgeport brings to mind
the fact that we had a famous prison
shin in America the "Jersey" Dur
ing the Revolutionary war this famous
or rather infamous old hulk was .the
prison In which at various times more
than 5,000 of the patriots who had ta
ken up arms against England were
confined. There were other hulks
used by the British for the same pur
pose. They were the Good Hope
which lay for a. time in the North
River, the Scorpion, Falmouth, Strom
boli and Hunter but the most noted of
all because she was the longest in use
was the Jersey, which lay for more
than three years in what was called
Wallabout bay, off New Tork.
The Jersey was an old dismantled
64-gun ship, anchored about a 100
yards from shore. -The port holes
were closed and two tiers' of openings,
twenty inches square were cut in her
sides and crossed "with iron bars. For
a while more "khan 1,080 prisoners
were confined on her at once. , They
were crowded below the decks like
cattle and underwent sufferings Im
possible to describe. They died there
like so many cattle.. Of the 5,000 who
were prisoners on iboard : the Jersey
at various times it is estimated ..that
1,000' died' on board. : . ,
The Jersey was used principally as
a prison for sailors, privateersmen
and private, soldiers. Most of the of
ficers and men of position taken by
the British were confined in land pris
ons or paroled. . .. -
One of the most noted prisoners
confined on the Jersey was Dr. Alex
ander Bowman 'of Hartford. He
spent 14 months in captivity aboard
this infamous hulk and like Dr. Man-
nette, the Bastile captive of Dickens'
"Tale of Two Cities," he kept a diary
during his confinement.
Dr. Bowman had finished his medi
cal, studies ii France and came back
to America in 1776. i. He had decided
to establish practice-at Newark. 'On
arriving in America, however, he ac
cepted a commission as surgeon from
the Continental Congress and Joined
the., American, army. . He was then
only 26 years of age... Te served with,
distinction with the airmy; crossed the
Delaware with Washington and took
.part in the surprise and .capture of
the Hessian forces at Trenton.
A year later he was sent in a sloop
bound for New. London to bring to the
American army medical supplies that
had been captured by an American
privateer.'." On the way the sloop wasj
captured by a British man-of-war and
Dr. Bowman with, others of the crew
-was - made prisoner - and . sent to con
finement on the ship Jersey.
'There he remained fourteen months.
At first he shared the same confine
ment and treatment as the other pris
oners. 'After a while the British
withdrew their surgeon from the -ship
saying that he was needed hy the BritU
ieh soldiers oh. land. Then Dr. Bow
man was placed in charge of the med
icine chest on board and permitted to
minister to the ailments of his fellow
prisoners. Several times he was sus
pected of aiding in escapes and at
tempts at escape from the: ship and
was thrust back among the other pris
oners for punishment.
Although exchanges were frequent
ly made, the British were loath to al
low his', exchange because he acted as
prison surgeon f 6r them. : During his
confinement he kept a diary in which
he recorded the cruelties and barbar
ities practiced by the British upon
the unfortunate Americans confined
there. When after the war the Brit
ish attempted to deny - the stories of
their abuse of prisoners, Dr. Bowman
presented his diary to confound them.
He was finally exchanged and went to
Newark where he established a prac
tice and lived to be 80 years old.
Some of the men taken when Bene
dict Arnold and his British force can
tpred Fort Griswold in. New London
harbor In 17S1 were, also confined in
the Jersey. i
A general exchange of prisoners was
finally agreed upon in 1781 and Lord
.nuwe sent to me American lines a
horde of ragged, gaunt and dying
greatures expecting to receive in re
turn the same number of well condi
tioned Hessians and Englishmen.
Washington was so indignant when he
looked upon the victims of British bar-
oarity that he . refused to release the
same number' of prisoners as Howe de
manded. Washington claimed that
although Howe had kept, the letter to
the terms of the exchange as to man
for man, he had violated Its spirit. He
finally compelled an exchange on a
more equitable basis. '

CAMINETTI TRIAL
OH WHITE SLAVE
v CHARGE STARTS
San Francisco, Aug. 26. The second
of the nationally known Diggs-Cami-netti
trials began today when. F". Drew
Caminetti faced the charge of violat
ing the Mann white law act under
which his companion, Maury I. Diggs,
was convicted in the federal court.
-The same witnesses who testified at
the trial of p-iggs struggled through
the crowd that had gathered about
the court room.
Hours before 2 o'clock, when the case
was called, the corridors outside of the
court, began to AH and then the crowd
overflowed to the steps of the build
ing and to.the street. The first forty-"
eight places were held at a premium,
for It was known that by edict of the
court only that number would be admitted.-
,
The government, as at Ilggs trial,
showed , that it would seek to try the
case before a Jury of men married and
fcwith families.
Marsha Warrington and Lola Nor
ris were not in the court room tout re
mained in an office nearby, ready to
appear should "their presence be de
sired. Serge comes serenely to the front
with great success. It is washable,
comes in convenient widths -and in
checks, shadow stripes or plain colors.
It is especially adaptable for the col
lege girl.
