A committee of prominent ritbxns

work for i-uch federal legislation ns
will suppress the manufacturo and uulp
of pistids, revolvers an other WTapona

The apnoiiil ment of this committee
for definite action is the result of a
campaign against small arms which
has been conducted in Chicago for
some time by representative Intere-ts.
Its objective may well have the inter
est nnd support of other comniunil ies.
The plague of the honest household

city are committed with pistols. Th"

I. os 'Angeles Times: Here is anoth
er sample of muckraking directed to
wards juries. A lawyer had a sonui--what
difficult -witness, and finally
asked if he was' acquainted with imy
of the .men on 'the jury. ; ' ;. "

"more, than' half of tnem." .

that she possessed the true con
ception of the opera and the part
she was playing.
Dr. Hay Murphy us "Alain,"
friend to "Caaptun," never lost
opportunity to utd the prince hut !
at tho same time he was coyly I
cooking up a very attractive little
love afftalr of his own with "I.IIla."
Prof. K. D. Towler as ' IJosay,"
kcoper of the royal sptictaeles, was
perfect scream. His makeup was
ot tho most rigid type and tho ef
fect of thla was assisted by bis act
ing. Never did he appear on the
stago that the audience did not
almost convulse with laughter.
Frauds Cramer represented "Just

and his presence with the king al
ways lent royal uignuy to the'
scene. Hut "Jastso," whllo apitir-;
