'TURN TO THE RIGHT' PLEASES WASHINGTON THEATRE AUDIENCE BY MARVIN. With the initial performance of the Jack Bessey Stock at the Washington theatre, Monday night, comes the hope that their indefinite run of current plays shall meet with as great favor as did their "Turn to the Right." There is every indication that they will, for the proof Monday night was not only that the play was good, but that the company was worthy. Most knew of the play and its merits it was the manner in which the play was to be presented that claimed the public's interest. Now, all doubt has

been swept away, leaving a clear field lor subsequent productions. In retrospect we find that the remarkable work of Jay Collins as Mugggs, and George Fobbing as Gilly, stand out probably more forcibly than that of any other two performers. Or the two, George Robbins, by virtue of his role, and aptness in characterization, occupies the fore-most pedestal. Both are comedians of profesional stamp. Joe Baseom (Herbert Duffy) the leading man, has not quite the dash one has come to expect of stock heroes, but perhaps his more genial and polished mannerisms are more trun to life. He is a type about which one would venture a kindly interest. Leady Lady Pleasing. Of course all are interested in the accomplishments of the first lady of the company, Lucille Husting. The vehicle used Monday night did not permit her an opportunity to uncover what art she may possess, but from ihe glimpse allowed at rare intervals, there is little ground for misgivings. She rose triumphantly to every occasion Monday night. Deacon Tillinsrer (Arthur Olmi) succeeds in causing the audience to feel

unkindly toward him in his portraysl of the unscrupulous "Shylock" of the village Mrs. Bascom (Lotta Ellis, exemplified the typical mother. Hers was a difficult role, and admirably interpreted. Clarence LeRoy made a better Tom Callahan, detective, than an Isadore, the Jewish second-hand man. Sam Martin, (Jack Emerson) cannot be thought of without remembering has hiccoughing style of epeech. He was the idral "rube." Betty Bascom (Bonnine Beck) played well as the kid sister of Joe, and Jessie Strong (Blanche Cook) performed well as the sister's chum. Lester Morgan (William Griggs) and Moses (William Hordy), completed the cast. The play was unusually long, having a prologue and three acts. "Turn to the Right" will be at the theatre the remainder of this week. Beginning with Sunday, Sept. 25, the company will present "Civilian Clothes." NEWSPAPER POWER CITED BY WESTERN .

The Final Problem

By SIR ARTHUR CON AN DOYLE Copyright, 1821, by Harper & Bros. Published by special arrangement with The McClure Newspaper Syndicate.

By Associated Press) SOUTH BEND, Ind., Sept. 20. The daily newspaper has come into its own on the field of national advertis-

ing. just as it did long ago in the

strictly local field. F. Guy Davis,

Western Manager of The American

Newspaper Publishers' association told the Central West National Advertisers here today.

"Throwing entirely out of considera

tion of normal business the inflation resulting from the war, it is a fact

nevertheless that the war did more to dramatize with serious students the

power of the newspaper as a factor in the moulding of public opinion than could possibly have been done by all

the propaganda In the world, Mr. Davis continued.

"Without exception in almost every

country the attitude of the press to

ward big war questions wa3 almost as

important with the governments as the actual condition of the fighting lorces. In the tremendously important question of maintaining the fighting spirit of the folks at home, the newspaper was the first consideration and rightly so. Different Attitude Seen. "This thought found its expression Increasingly in the national advertising following the war and during the rast two years particularly the realization that a complete change in fundamental conditio H relating to selling problems made necessary the application of new and more powerful forces in advertising, has resulted in a movement toward newspapers which has been steady and continuous. "There are many situations in the country today, not generally known, in which the intensive concentration of advertising through the newspapers on certain logical territories, accompanied, of course, by Intensive sales work, has resulted in some cases in the best business in the history of the companies involved. In many cases the business i3 running better than in the normal years prior to the war boom. "The thought on which many campaigns are based, namely the intensive cultivation of logical markets

through combined advertising and selling appeal, is the logical answer to present conditions." PLANS 10-STORY BUILDING EVANS VI LLE. Ind.. Sept. 20. Estimates are being obtained this week on a proposed 10-story building at the corner of Main and Sixth streets on the site now occupied by the Bacon department store. It Is understood that the American Trust and Savings company is back of the project. According to present plans, the Bacon store will occupy several stories of the building. The site Is owned by E. F. Sonntag.

"He is the Napoleon of crime, Wat- j son. He is the organizer of half that j is evil, and of nearly all that is undetected la his great city. He is a genius, a philosopher, an abstract thinker. He has a brain of the first order. He sits motionless, like a spider in tne center of its web, but that web has a thousand radiations, and he knows well every quiver of each of them. He does little himself. He only plans. But his agents are numerous and splendidly organized. Is there a crime to be dane, a paper to be abstracted, we will say a house to be rifled, a man to be removed

the word is passed to the professor, the matter is organized and carried out. The agent may be caught In that case money is found for his bail or his defense. But the central power, which uses the agent is never caught never so much as suspected. This was the organization which I deduced. Watson, and which I devoted my whole energy to exposing and breaking up. "But the professor was fenced round with safeguards so cunningy devised, that, do what I would, it seem

ed impossible to get evidence which J

would convict in a court of law. You may know my powers, my dear Watson, and yet at the end of three months I was forced to confess I had at last met an antagonist who was my intelligent equal. My horror at hia crimes was lost in my admiration at his skill. But at last he made a trip only a little, little trip but it was more than he could afford, while I was so close upon him. I had my chance, and starting from that point, I have woven my net around him until it is now all ready to close. In three days that is to say, on Monday next matters will be ripe, and the professor, with all the principal members of his gang will be in the hands

or the police. Then will come the greatest criminal trial of the century, the clearing up of over forty mysteries, and the rope for all of them; but if we move at all prematurely, you understand, they may slip out of our hands even at the last moment. "Now, if I could have done this without the knowledee of Professor Moriarty, all would have been well. But he was too wiley for that. He

saw every step which I took to draw my toils round him. Again and again he strove to break away, but I as often headed him off. I tell you, my friend, that if a detailed account of that silent contest could be written, it would take its place as the most brilliant piece of thrust and parry! work in the history of detection. Never have I risen to such a height, and never have I been so hard pressed by an opponent. He cuts deep, and yet I just undercut him. This morning the last steps were taken, ami three days only were wanted to complete the business. I was sitting in my room thinking the matter over, when the door opened and Professor Morarity stood before me. "My nerves are fairly proof, Watson, but f must "confess to a start

when I saw the very man who had been so much in my thoughts stand

ing there on my threshold. His appearance was quite familiar to me. He is extremely tall and thin, his forehead domes out in a wide curve, and his two eyes are deeply sunken in his head. He is clean-shaven, pale, and ascetic-looking, retaining something of the professor in his features. His shoulders are rounded from much study, and his face protrudes forward, and is forever slowly oscillating from side to side in a curiously reptilian fashion. He peered at me with great curiosity in his puckered eyes.. " 'You have less frontal development than I should have expected.' said he, at last. 'It is a dangerous habit to finger loaded firearms in the pocket of one's dressing-gown.'

"The fact is that upon his entrance I had instantly recognized the extreme personal danger in which I lay. The only conceivable escape for him lay in silencing my tongue. In an

instant I had slipped the revolver from the drawer into my pocket, and was covering him through the cloth. At his remark I drew the weapon out and laid it cocked upon the table. He still smiled and blinked, but there was something about his eyes which made me feel very glad that I had it there. " 'You evidently don't know me, said he. " 'On the contrary, I answered, 'I think it is fairly evident that I do. Pray take a chair. I can spare you five minutes if you have anything to say.' " 'All that I have to say already has crossed your mind,' said he. " 'Then possibly my answer has crossed yours?' I replied. " 'You stand fast?

-Absolutely!" "He clapped his hand Into his pocket, and I raised the pistol from the table. He merely drew out a memorandum book on which he had scribbled some dates. "You crossed my path on the 4th of January,' 6ald he. 'On the 23d you incommoded me; by the middle of February I was seriously inconvenienced by you; at the end of March I was absolutely hampered in my plans; and now, at the close of April, I find myself placed in such a

position through your continual persecution that I am in positive danger

WYOMING COWBOYS START STRANGE TRIP

Sy Associated Press) PIERRE, S. D.. Sept. 20. To reach New York City from Yellowstone National Park on horseback by January 1, is the wager that three Jackson Hole, Wyoming cowboys who have just started on the journey, have made. Dressed in typical western style, the terms of wager require that they travel the entire distance on horseback, smoke every day without buying tobacco and forbids purchasing fresh horses, no matter how serious the need. They can, however, "swap" mounts, If the ones they are riding give out. The men are B. T. Mears, who heads the party and who is known on the range as Wild Horse Sam: D. M. Steel.

" 'Have you any suggestion to make?' I asked. " 'You must drop it, Mr. Holmes. said he, swinging his face about. 'You really must, you know.' , "'After Monday.' said I. "'Tut, tut'. said he. T am quite sure that a man of your intelligence will see that there can be only one outcome to this affair. It is necessary that you should withdraw. You have worked things in such a fashion that we have only one recouse left. It has been an intellectual treat to me to see the way in which you have grappled with this affair, and I say, unaffectedly, that it would be a great grief to me to be forced to take any extreme measure. You smile, sir, but I assure you that I really would.' "'Danger is part of my trade,' I replied. "'This is not danger," said he. 'It is inevitable destruction. You stand in the way not merely of au individual, but of a mighty organization, the full extent of which you, with all your cleverness, have been unable to realize. You must stand clear, Mr. Holmes, or be trodden under foot.' " 'I am afraid," said I rising, 'that in the pleasure of this conversation I am neglecting business of importance which awaits me elsewhere." "He rose also, and looked at me in silence, shaking his head sadly. "'Well, well, said he, at last. 'It seems a pity, but I have done what 1 could. I know every move of your game. You can do nothng more before Monday. It has been a duel between you and me, Mr. Holmes. You

hope to place me in the dock. I tell von that I will never stand in the

dock. You hope to beat me. I tell you that you will never beat me. If you are clever enough to bring destruction upon me, rest assured that I shall do as much to you.' " 'You have paid me several compliments, Mr. Morarity,' said I. 'Let. me pay you one in return when I say if I were assured of the former eventuality. I would, in the Interests

of the public, cheerfully accept the latter." " 'I can promise you the one, but not the other,' he snarled, and so turned his rounded back upon me, and went peering and blinking out of the room."

It is quite reviving to witness a comedy act such as Hal Newport and Cliff Stirk present, with the assistance of Miss Sue Parker. Cliff Is the well meaning dunce of the trio. Assuming an attitude of blank passiveness which is undoing in its richness, Cliff is the personification of clownishness undefiled. Both men are excellent at tambling. Miss Parker

I tried several medicines, then I found a book of yours, and mamma told me to try tt3 Compound. So I got a bottle of Lydia E. Knkham's Vegetable Compound, and it certainly worked wonders with me. I have taken six bottles of it, and am still taking it when I feel the need of it. I have already recommended it to a number of working girls, who are taking it. I am working now, and stand up all day and feel fine. I am glad to say that Rnkham's medicine did a lot for me and for my mother, and we only wish we had taken it a long time before."
