TOO COMPLICATED WASP0LCE CASE Mayor Could Not Unravel Dispute Between Woman and a Boy. Mrs. Elizabeth Dillon, wife or Patrick Dillon, 412 North Eighteenth street, waa found not guilty of the charge of assault and battery on Ernest, the nine-year-old eon of Harvey Piatt, by Mayor Zimmerman in police court this morning. The mayor said that It was a complicated case where the boy provoked the woman, and that he could not fine one unless he did so to the other. The trouble occurred Saturday afternoon about 5 o'clock. The Piatt boy was playing in the Dillon yard and rubbed snow on another youth's face. Mrs. Dillon ordered the Piatt boy off her yard. When he started to leave he dropped his glove. Mrs. Dillon picked up the glove and, according to the boy, struck him with a club, which In size was similar to the "big tick," seen In cartoons in the hands of a certain ex-president. The club was Introduced as evidence in police court this morning. Mrs. Dillon denied striking the boy; ,but she said she took his glove and the boy threw snowballs or rocks at ler. She then chased the boy to the

rear of her lot and Orville Piatt, aged -eleven, ran after her and struck her with a buggy whip. Mr. Piatt then, tearing the screams of the youth, ran to the scene and said he saw Mrs. Dillon standing near his young son. holding the club over his head, as if to Strike him. "If I thought the woman hit the boy With that club I'd give her 140 days In Jail, for I don't believe a young child should be struck in any manjer," the mayor said. "If a woman would strike my boy unjustly I'd trike her, even if it is not right in 'the eyes of the law, but I don't believe the woman hit the boy with the club."

The Theaters

At The Murray. Mr. Clinton E. Lloyd, well known in this city where he has appeared twice In "A Night With the Poets," is at the Murray this week in a sketch specially written for him by Mr. Otis Colburn of the Dramatic Mirror, named "Striking a Balance," with a capable support of four people. The sketch is cleverly written and presented and has for its story the love of a New York business man, interested in the manipulation of large affairs, for his stenographer, a young woman of birth and refinement, forced to seek employment through the loss of her father's fortune. It develops that "Henry Gaines," impersonated by Mr. Lloyd, is the man against whom, her father, "John Cumfilings." taken by Gilbert Tossing, conalders he has a grievance as the author of his financial misfortunes and forbids his daughter, in consequence, to marry the former. The presentation of this "tabloid idrama" Illustrates the difference, as did that of a few weeks ago in "Polltics and Petticoats," between the legitimate and the vaudeville actor, as the cast Is made of the former, Mr. Lloyd Iteing an actor of many years experience, and Miss Josephine Fairchlld, who plays the rolo of his secretary, ''Grace Cummings," having been well known before her entrance Into vaudeville a few years since. Miss Fairchild having appeared in the latter

with the sketch "The Sales Lady," played on the Orpheum circuit. Mr. Lloyd takes his role with theatric eclat, his impressive stage presence and his voice of rich and vibrant

quality admirably lending themselves

to its interpretation, i he iaet tnat ir. Lloyd is one of the best known dramatic readers in the theatrical profession gives interest to his readings of Poe's famous poem, "Annabel Lee," introduced into the action of the little play. Miss Fairchild, an actress of charming personality, who is the possessor of an excellent voice and of distinct enunciation something as unusual as it is satisfactory gives a convincing impersonation of the refined young gentlewoman, and Miss Sarah Taylor, as the mother of "Henry Gaines," fits harmoniously into the composition of the stage picture. "Striking a Balance," is one of the best things, theatrically, seen in Richmond this season and notwithstanding it was entirely devoid of those features which are supposed to appeal only to a vaudeville audience, it was received by every mark of appreciation not only in the applause, but in the attention of the audience. Which goes to disprove, as stated before, the assertion frequently made that people only want "laughs." There were plenty of the latter, however, in a conglomeration of dancing and singing by "Barnes and Edwins," as they appear on the program who made a hit with their really clever farce. Four contortionists amazed with their extraordinary litheness and suppleness, some of their combined posings irresistibly suggest

ing the Laoccoon. People who can do

these things certainly deserve all and more of the applause they get. A musical stunt opens the program several musicians playing on familiar and unfamiliar instruments, the moving-picture story is sufficiently exciting and, altogether, the bill at the Murray this week, is a well balanced one. E. G. W.

actually makes vice attractive if it is hinting at vice this is one of the best theatrical ''offerings" seen in Richmond for many a day. Not only of its class but any class. That is from the standpoint of characterization, preservation of the theatric unities only one lapse and that i where a local joke was dragged in ;and above aU, in the musical erudi- ' tion of the principals. The music of "Alma" is fetching, full of vivacity, life, verve and color. And no such cast of voices has been I heard in a play of this sort in this . city for several seasons. i "Alma," Nina Collins, was a seduc

tive young woman, whose fascinations were only too evident, and the possessor of a dramatic soprano of amazing range and flexibility, her vocal confrere, "Pierre Le Peach," impersonated by George M. Bogues, having a tenor of striking freshness, vibrancy and tonality. Mr. Bogues also impersonating the unsophisticated youth from the country most amusingly. Truth to tell the caste was finely balanced every one of the voices being musically excellent both in quality and presentation, and the comedy of the thing exquisitely funny. The songs, some of them being far more idyllic than might be supposed would be heard at this horribly immoral "show" as advertised by the press agent were full of swing, go and tunefulness. "Childhood Days" and "Boogie Boo" indeed were charming with the charm of the fresh and dewy and would have graced the entertainment of a kindergarten society. If half the time and elimination were devoted to makinp of good plays, good, as is to making bad plays good, the problem of the "elevation of the stage" would be solved. "Alma" was presented in Richmond with sustained theatric eclat, and if it was bad, it was, in its musical phases, so good that you didn't care whether it was bad or not. E. G. W.

"Alma, Where Do You Live." Is "Alma, Where do you Live?" as wicked as the press agent makes out? Who can say? While the story of the fascinating Alma would not be used as a convent Ideal being, indeed, not unlike the famous young woman who haunted the purlieus of "Rector's" with the difference that the latter was masquerading as minus the matrimonial shackle which really bound her and Alma repeatedly declaims in a charming soprano voice and nearing high c that the wedding ring was the only ring she could hear it has nothing much to do with the presentation. The story is coarse. But that is not the part of the play "-or song farce, for that is its real title which pleases the audience, at least of that in Richmond.

Virginia Brooks to Lead 200 West Hammond Women to Grand Jury. HAMMOND, Ind., Nov. 2S. Chicago is to be invaded by Miss Virginia Brooks at the head ot two hundred men and women. This action was determined on after. Governor Deneen's conference with Miss Brooks, when he advised her to take her witnesses against the West Hammond resorts before the Cook county grand jury. Lucy Page Gaston, the anti-cigarette crusader, has -written Miss Brooks that she desires to help in the women's crusade on the dives. The Chicago Law and Order League has informed

Miss Brooks that it had directed letters to the grand jury, demanding that Miss Brooks and the citizens of West Hammond be summoned before the grand jury to tell what the conditions there are. West Hammond people will charter a special train to go to Chicago. The Rev. E. F. Barrett, All Souls' church, Hammond, has received anonymous threatening letters because of the assistance he has given Miss Brooks. Father Barrett in a sermon

j denounced the West Hammond vice supporters. He declared that his life i had been threatened if he went across j the state line into Illinois. The crusade ! against the resorts has reached the j stage where the keepers are desperate.
