PROM PALMIST HE BECAME COUNT AND SUCCEEDED IN SECURING ENOUGH MONEY ON NERVE TO START BANK.

Paris, Jan. 8. "Coant" Louis Hamon formerly known fn America and Europe as "Cheiro, the Palmist," and before that as plain John Warner, is a fugitive from France adn the entire American and English colony is discussing one of the most meteoric and mysterious careers which ever dazed Parisian society. Hamon ,is charged with embezzlement, and his sumptuous offices, where he edited a newspaper called the American Register and conducted a bank and other enterprises to which Americans and others loaned capital, are bare and empty, scores of creditors liaving descended and seized everything. Complainants against Hamon are Mrs. Julia P. Newell and Miss Josephine Pomeroy, formerly of New York, but now residents of Paris, who declare that they turned over to Hamon stock to the value of $500,000, on which Hamon agreed to raise a loan of $150,000. , They allege, however that Hamon neither negotiated the loan nor returned the stocky' in consequenceef which 1hey began criminal anion against the Hamon bank. "Count" Hamon has been a dashing figure in Paris since his arrival here six years ago. He lived in costly '.. epartments in the Bois de Boulogne. Since he arrived in Paris in 1902, nhen he transformed himself from Chiero, the Palmist," to "Count" Hamon, he has had easy access to society.

The organization feels confident that the law will be supported by R. E. Kirkman and A. M. Gardner and sees no necessity why Its members will have to lobby providing Ratlin! votes with them. However RatlifTs action will be watched as a hawk does its prey and every move will be known to his local constituents, supporting the county local option law. The first move on his part that would tend to favor the "wet" element will -be the- sound of general alarm and the corridors of the state house will be the scene of many meetings between the representative and his temperance constituents. In other words a repetition of the "heart to heart" conferences at the special session of the legislature is planned.

THEATRICAL CALENDAR. GENNETT. Friday, Jan. 8. "Brown of Harvard." Saturday, Jan. 9. "A King's Rival." NEW PHILLIPS. All Week High Class Vaudeville.

"Brown of Harvard." A conspicuous social nroduct of college life is athletic sports. In the English public school and university, the great majority of students share actively in sport of some kind. Cricket, football, boating, tennis, each has its votaries, and there are few who are not concerned in one or the other of them. In the American college those who actually take part in some form of sport are not many, but a good share of the rest are keenly concerned in what is going on. Competitive athletics affords . a constant theme of absorbing interest, comparable only to the eager attention given to horse racing, or professional base ball by a considerable number of the general community. The chances of the teams, the merits of the individual members, are discussed with zest, and the games are attended with an excitement which carries all before it. Athletics in the public mind has bocome almost a synonym for college life. - It is therefore quite natural that Rida Johnston Young in her play of Brown of Harvard," 'which the Shuberts will present at the Gennett theater tonight, should have seized upon an athletic contest as a climax. The boat-race scene is doubtless well remembered by all theater-goers, who saw the piece last season. The cast is composed mainly of college men. most of them varsity athletes in their day, who have organized a base ball and football team and challenge any of the local teams for a game on the afternoon of their engagement here. Z "A King's Rival." Local theater goers who patronize only the better class ' of dramatic attractions will receive with pleasure the announcement that John Griffith is to appear at the Gennett Saturday afternoon and evening in his new romantic play, "A King's Rival." Mr. Griffith has played here frequently in the past and is held in the highest esteem by those who appreciate true art in acting. During the earlier portion of his stellar career he appeared for a number of years in "Faust," and was generally regarded as the greatest of the several actors who essayed the role of Mephisto. In more recent years he has appeared in a series of Shakespeare's plays, attaining an enviable reputation as a tragedian. This season Mr. Griffith has added new laurels to his previous splendid achievements, by playing a comedy part with even 'greater success than has attended his acting of tragic roles. "A King's . Rival" is an adaptation from the popular romance of the seventeenth century, "'Don Caesar de Bazan," which was translated from the French by Gilbert A. A'Beckett and Mark Lemon and first acted in this country in 1844 at the old Olympic theater, New York. The original play was exceedingly popular for- many years; indeed, only a few years ago, it will be recalled, "Don Caesar de Bazan" was revived in New York by James K. Hackett, and met with abundant success. Mr. Griffith's new version is said to be even, superior to the parent play, having been considerably modernized without depreciating in the latest the literary merit that obtained in the original. Mr. Griffith's acting 'of - the adventure-loving Spanish nobleman, Don Caesar, is described as a splendid achievement, and his . development laugh-compelling in the extreme. His supporting company is also highly praised, especial mention being made by critics reviewing the performance, of Miss Edyth Totten, who plays the leading role of Maritana, the Gypsy street dancer most charmingly. The stage pictures in "A King's Rival", are said to be quite picturesque, preserving, as they do, the atmosphere of a most interesting place and period--the latter part of the seventeenth century in Spain, daring the reign of Charles II. The complete scenic . equipment is carried and it may be assumed that the production will be on a most lavish scale. 7 ' Father and the Boys.". Charles Frohman will present W. H. Crane, one of the most celebrated and genial comedians at the Gennett the ater on Thursday, evening, January 14,

w 1 1 vBROWN OF A scene from the popular in the most genuine bit he has had in many years, entitled "Father and the Boys," by the funniest of American funny men, George Ade, author of "The County Chairman" and "The College Widow," two pieces that ranked high as laugh producers. This announcement will give pleasure to Mr. Crane's many local admirers and to general playgoers as well who know him only by reputation. And never was au excellent reputation better deWILLIAM H. CRANE In "Father and the Boys." served! Mr. Crane's plays have always been marked by cleanliness and wholesomeness, and, while there is fun galore In "Father and the Boys," these two gratifying qualities are prominent always. The new piece is Crane at his best. It is a rapid-fire of laughs from start to finish, with a touch of seriousness here and there, and between the lines, more than in them, a valuable lesson for many fathers and sons. As a play and a producer of mirth it surpasses even dear old "David Harum." Mr. Crane comes to this city with the complete original company and scenic accessories direct from a four months run at the Empire theater. New York. Mme. Marchesi. Mme. Marchesi will be the attraction at the Gennett theater Jan. 18. The lives of many great musical artists are often a succession of struggles and privations . at last crowned with success which so many times does not come until the soul is almost wearied of the tremendous battle against fate. Mme. Blanche Marchesi was very fortunate in this regard. Born of parents who had the entree to the most exclusive circles; with ample means and opportunity for hear ing the best in music ad meeting not only people of great musical culture, but of great social and political influence it is remarkable that she remained unspoiled. It is a fact, that probably no child ever pursued her studies more earnestly for the attainment of an ambition. In other words she succeeded in spite of opportunity when so many fail on account of it. It is easy enough manyimes for one to make great sacrifices for ambition. but when no struggle is necessary it is equally easy for one to fail. But, the Marchesi are not of the failing type. Mme. Marchesi had a high mark to reach. AH her life she had been surrounded by names which were written large in the world's history of music and mediocrity could find no place in her vocabulary. To be a good singer could not'suffice to be a great singer was not enough she must, if she would be anything be one of the elect the chosen few that should go down to history as Epoch makers in the world of song and she succeeded. However illustrious her contemporaries may have become the name of Blanche Marchesi stands today as one worthy to be written in burning letters on the scroll of fame. 1 As teacher, singer, wife or mother, in which ever department of her busy life one may find that her name stands for greatness, and for success. In its highest and best interpretation. Those who know Mme. Blanche Marches! as a great primma Donna only, can never know the woman as she is for which the beautiful voice and flawless art sneaks volubly of the soul

New Phillips. One feels almost like going out and doing the same thing, only getting a real sure "nuff" one, when Delmain, of the Allen, Delmain, Harrold com edy skit trio, saunters about the New Phillips stage chuckling and happy in the satisfaction of being well and consistently "soused." And then, when he hesitates for a moment and breaks out into song well that is almost the limit. His work is exceptionally good In that line and his rendition of "The Wine Song" is clever. Among the new turns that appeared yesterday afternoon and evening as opening the latter part of this week's bill, was the magical work of Hansome, who is an adept in his field of amusement. Hansome adroitly executes many apparently very commonplace tricks and one is almost as certain of how they are done as the gambling spectator at a county fair who bets he knows where the bean is in the shell worker's game. Carey and Stampe, also come on for a good round of applause and their little song and talk sketch is somewhat out of the general run of such features. The motion pictures and the illustrated song are among the best of such presentations given at the house this season. INTEREST CONTINUES. Special meetings at the First Baptist continue with good interest under the direction of the Rev. Chas. E. Watkins and Prof. Turner, of Muncie, each afternoon at 3 and each evening at 7:30. , This evening the evangelist will speak from the subject "God's Call to Repentence." ' Bismarck and Music Bismarck's utterances regarding manic are compiled In a book by KeudeH, "Furst nnd Furstin Bismarck, Erinnernngen aus den Jahren. 1846-1872." Kendell once saw the man of blood and iron shed tears during a performance of Beethoven's Sonata Appasiocata. His favorite composers were Beethoven and Schubert. The only thing he did not like In their works was the variations. These, he said, "do not speak to the heart." Concerning the sonata Just referred to he remarked: "This Is like the singing and sobbing of a whole human life. If I heard this music often I should always be brave." . Ma Meant Well Anyway. A young woman overheard an old Degrees call to a pickaninny, "Come back, Exy, Exy!" "Excuse me," said the young woman, "but Isn't that a queer name for a baby, aunty 7' "Dat ain't her full name," explained the old woman, with pride; "dat's jes' de pet name I call fer short.

SALOON DEFENDED .BY A. BUCKWEDEL Suggests at S. S. I. A. Meeting Local Election Be Delayed Until March 2nd. REFERS TO BLIND TIGER

STATES SALOONS WITH "FRONT DOORS" ARE PREFERABLE TO ONES WITH "BACK DOORS' FREEMAN GIVES SUPPORT. President Blickwedel of the South Side Improvement Association last evening at a meeting held by the organization recommended that the county commissioners be petitioned not to take action on the county local option question until January 30 and that the date for the special election not be set before Tuesday, March 2. He advised that this procedure be taken so that the tax payers of Wayne county would not be put to the expense of such an election until after the legislature had acted upon the county local option law. ' No official action was taken on this resolution of Mr. Blickwedel's by the association because it is a business organization solely; but individually, it is stated, the majority of the members is in sympathy with this proposal. Saloon Is Endorsed. At the close of the meeting President Blickwedel made his plea for delay in calling the election and endorsed the saloon. He is one of the leading liquor dealers in the city and his remarks can be taken as a statement of the opinions of the other dealers. His remarks were endorsed by Perry J. Freeman, as well as by the majority of the club member Argues for Personal Liberty. Mr. Blickwedel stated that as a saloonist he was deeply " interested in the question as a victory for the "drys" meant the ruination of his business and the loss of much of his income. He argued for personal liberty, stating that booze was sure to be obtained "wet" or "dry" and tliat the blind tiger would result.

Freeman urged fair-minded persons, who saw both sides to the question, to consider and weigh it carefully before making their ' decision. He doubted if Timothy Nicholson and other temperance advocates would be pleased with the conditions resulting should the county go dry. The arguments of the drys he said, should be met with the argument of the evils of the blind tiger. NOTICE.
