Dolores del Rio. supported by Ralph Forbes, Harry Carey, and a brilliant cast, portray that historic rush for gold in the late '9os.

This show comes here after a season of unprecedented success on Keith's vaudeville circuit. It is mace up of a large array of talented comedians, singers, dancers, and Tariety features.

AMERICA NEEDS DICTATOR, SAYS COLLEGE DEAN Senate Inactivity Neglect Flayed: Asserts Congress Useless. Bn ! nil hi Frrxx EVANSTON. 111.. May 10.—Declaring the United States senate is only a "fifth wheel" in federal government, John H. Wigmore, dean of the law school at Northwestern university, asserted in an editorial that what tjie country needs is a “constitutional Mussolini.” Wigmore wrote the editorial for Hie Illinois Law Review, published at the university as the official organ for law schools at Northwestern, University of Chicago and the University of Illinois. Wigmore asserted the country needs a dictator who would v.ield a “big stick" efficiently to see that laws were enforced. He cited the recent senate inquiry into Indian affairs as an example of general Inability on the part of the legislative body to accomplish anything in this direction. ‘ The United States senate is useless except to talk, investigate, censer and Intrigue.” the article said. “The senate's neglect of its own legislative duties is not well known. The more the bar can see of the senate as a legislative failure, the sooner the bar will wake up to its duty of leading public opinion to a reform. “The senate exhibits the usual stage setting—the honest and vigilant senate preparing to expose the fraud and incompetence of the exi ecutive. and thus to gain popular respect as a bulwark of the people's rights and to strengthen its usurpation of the people’s power. “Year after year the executive department recommends simple measures of legislation to remedy hardships and evli conditions. Year after ! year congress does nothing. “In short, in the unhealthy condition into which the congress has allowed Itself to fall, we do not need it. Why depend on it to legislate?” CAMP GIVEN JEWS Resort for Children and Mothers Opens in July.

RIGID CONTROL BY U S. URGED Watson Says Senate Will Oppose Canada Treaty on Air Rights. Bn l nitnl Pri *. WASHINGTON, May IQ.—Rigid governmental regulation of radio communication is necessary, the senate interstate commerce commission was told today by Louis G. Caldwell, former genera] counsel of the radio commission. “Without rigid government supervision we will have no radio communication and chaos will rule the air,” Caldwell said. The committee is holding hearings on the Couzens bill to- establish a communications commission with supervision ove’ all radio, telephone and telegraph companies. Caldwell said he is in favor of combining the regulation of these allied industries under a. single commission eventually but advised against doing it until the radio industry is better organized. Caldwell was asked by Senatoi - James A. Watson, about the terms of a. treaty now being' negotiated between the United States and Canada. to distribute radio channels. He said he understood the ratio would be about three channels for this country for every one lor Canada. Watson asked if that was fair in view of the fact Canada has a population of only about 10.000.003 people while the United States has about 120,000.000. Caldwell said he would rather not answer that question unless the state department approves of his doing so. Watson predicted such an arrangement would meet with “strenuous opposition” from the senate. $4,000,000 GIFT IN STOCK GIVEN WORKERS Richman Brothers Share Profits With 3,800 Employes.
