"The Man on the Box" Gennett. Ono of the really notable theatrical events of the year takes place at the Gennett next Jlonrlay night when Walter . X. Iawrence presents Henry E. Dixey In a dramatization of Harold MacGrath's famous novel, '"The Man on the Box." Thousands of appreciative theater goers have testified since Mr. Dixey left the Madison Square and Lyric theaters, where he ran with his play for 201 nights, that Mr. Lawrence has sent entour, without exception in any was', "The Man on the Box," as Been in Xew York. To any one who has ever seen "Mrs, Temple's Telegram," or "The Prince Chap," Mr. Lawrence's other productions en tour, it is only necessary to say that "The Man on the Box" is quite up to their standard, if indeed, it is not a little , better. For twenty years Mr. Dixey has been known as America's most graceful, finished and handsome light comedian, and he does not look a day older today, than he did when he produced "Adonis" and played it for three entire years at the Bijou theater, Xew York. "The Man on the Box," Mr. Dixey says, is a worthy successor to

that other great play and from the success with which it is met, it seems destined to be as financially success ful and as long lived as the other, for it waerrwritten by an American for Americans, produced by an American manager and played by American actors. It is In short the best type of the kind of play which appeals to highclass American audiences. "Good acting, and plenty of it, began one Xew York critic's review, and that this is what people want is attested by the fact that Mr. Dlxey's great play at the Madison Square theater, Xew York, lasted 123 nights and then 81 at tho Lyric, while in Buffalo last March It was voted the best play of the year Tho nlnv tplla a romantic love storv.

Was Unable to Free But one Hand From Pair of Handcuffs at the Phillips Last Night. Don Ford struck a pair of handcuffs at the Phillips last night that he partly failed to solve. The cuffs were taken to the theatre by J. S. Caldwell of 422 Lincoln street. Mr. Caldwell was formerly In the secret service department of the Missouri and Pacific railroad at St.- Louis and before giving the Iiandcuffs to Ford he announced that in case Ford could remove them he felt that no cuffs would withstand his prowess. Ford had much trouble in getting one hand free and was not able to release himself from the second cuff. CLUSThtf OF CURRENTS Plucked From the Vibrant Vines of Telegraphic Communication.

Ira Swisner the popmar manager of the Gennett theatre Friday signed a contract by whicii he will Tuesday assume duties as advance agent of the "Mrs. Temple's Telegram" theatrical company. "Swish" will go to Columbus and after visiting several Ohio and Kentucky towns will go south where the show will open in Xew Orleans for an engagement. Before the season closes the troupe will go into the copper country of the northwest where it will show until the middle of May. Swisher will return to Richmond and will open the Gennett for a summer run of vaudeville. Mrs. Temple's Telegram is one of the be3t shows now on the road and Is owned by Walter Lawrence who also has control of "The Man on the Box"; "Prince Chap" and "The Three of Us," now making, such a hit in Xew York. Mr. Lawrence is also the lessee and manager of the Madison Square theatre in Xew York and is considered one of the leading theatrical men in the country. Lawrence nas long had his eyes on Swisher and

when the advance agent of "Mrs. Tem ple's Telegram" took sick in this city Friday, Swisher was asked if he would take the place, lie accepted Immediately as the position carries with it a handsome salary. During his trip on the road Mrs. Swisher will assume charge of the box office and the front part of the house while Burt Xovere will act as stage manager at the Gennett. Both have had exeprience in such work and Mr. Swishers leaving will not in the least affect the quality of shows that will be dished up to the people of this city. VIEWS ON JAP QUESTION BY TWO PROMINENT MEN Scnaxor Perkins Says it Will Not Do to Permit a Long Delay Hobson Says Japan Would Fight, but Sentiment is Against Her. fPublishers Press. . . Washington. Ftb. 2. In an address delivered before the National Geographic society. Senator Perkins of California dwelt at length upon the probability of a conflict between the Americans and the Japanese, "wo Ir reconcilable races," as he pronounced them. After speaking of the difficul ties overcome in the past in dealing with the Chinese, Senator Perkins said: "Hawaii has the Japanese on her hands as we Jn California will soon have; and as this people are more aggressive, more tenacious, most cunning and more . determined than the Chinese, it will never do to permit a long delay before settling the ques tion." Hobson's Views. New York. Feb. 2. "We must fight Japan unless Japan backs down," said Captain Richmond P. Hobson here. "It is inevitable. Japan wants to fight and Is being egged on by England, who wants to destroy our commerce in the east. As it stands now Japan could whip us. because we have np navy to save ourselves. Japan would fight us In a minutes, were it not for public sentiment and the fact that she must negotiate some loans in England."

SITUATION IN THE EAST

ADMIRAL BROWNSON'S FOUR ARMORED CRUISERS COMPRISE THE FIGHTING STRENGTH OF ASIATIC STATION. Publishers' PressJ Manila, . .. acute diplomatic situation in Washington over the Japenese school question at San Franciaco is welcome news to anny and navy officers stationed in the Philippines. They believe the officials in Washington have heeded the warnings forwarded about Japanese activities in the archipelago. That the Japanese war office has agents in the Philippines is not doubted here. The only question is as to their number It is known that a large measure of the Japanese success in Manchuria was due to the operation of secret agents in Manchuria, Korea and even Siberia in the period preceding active hostilities. Missionary work of this character Is believed in military quarters to have been conducted throughout the islands during the past year by Japanese agents. The Japanese watchword has been "Asia for the Asiatics" and many influential natives are believed to have been won over to a friendship for the "bosses of the east." The naval officers stationed at Cavite are frankly anxious. Admiral Brownson's four armored cruisers comprise the only fighting strength of the Asiatic station. Xo matter how good a fight they put up, they would be smothered by the Japanese home fleet should the imperial government strike at the United States with the same crafty abruptness that marked the attacks at Port Arthur and Chemulpo two years ago. With the difficult situation that faces the navy in the east and the possibility of a great native uprising to embarrass the army, military men here naturally consider Japanese eventualities as ominous.

"T?ay cull can you help a poor guy that has lost an arm?" That is the question that Edward Davis, a rather tough look a g specimen of humanity propounded yesterday afternoon to pedestrians on Main street. He also made the same "spiel" in a number of business houses along that thoroughfare, and several of those that he accosted produced. It was not long before' Patrolman Vogelsong came along and placed him under arrest on a charge of vagrancy. At police headquarters it was found that Davis in order to give out tho. impression that he was minus a "wing" had shoved his left arm down into his trousers and buttoned his overcoat and vest over it. The police are looking for another fellow, who has been putting up a game on the southside, that in the parlance of the hoboes and "tourists" puts him to in the class known as "jiggers." A "jigger" rubs his arm with a peculiar kind of acid, which while it causes him no pain creates a horrible looking sore. He displays this to the charitably inclined and it generally gets the coin.
