Orpheum Actors are Lost in Forest of Timbers This Week

pv hi siiili:v. ovt at thw i irpheum the jirst half of this weK the octupar.ts iu tht dressing rooms under th- stae are sharing their quarters with a forest of Cx upright timbers. When a performer wants to put on his make-up h has to encircle his arms about a big timber to reach his dressing table; when he starts out of the room he bumps intr another timber when he closes the door, he doesn't. because still another timber is in the way. There are lj of these bulky beams. They are there to prevent a large; ?ted-and-glass tank from crashing through the stage and drowning out tho inhabitants below principally Spike. They couldn't afford to drown out Spike. This largo teeland-i?lass tank is filled with water. In all It weighs ZO tons quite a heft when you stop to thinK of it. The water, three times a day. is filled with seals and Odiva. As soon as I read that odiva was from .Samoa I pricked up my ears at once, for the last few nights I I have been enjoying some of Henry ( i Powland's tales of travel in Saoma ; and other South Sea islands, so I ; went over to see our Samoan.

Park Superintendent Alleges Board Did Not Live Up to Agreement Contract is Lost. Suit for $ u 1 . 7 as salary which he charges is due him rom the city as superintendent of parks, was institutd Wednesday by llerman Beyer. According to tlu complain Beyer was employed by the park commissioners beginning July 1, 10 10, for -OIH. years. His contract expired on I Dec. 31, 1913. lie was to receive $140 r... o a month, the complaint alleges, in consideration of his furnishing an automobile with which to make his trips about the parks and in transporting materials used in their maintenance. Previously the superintendent had been furnished a horse and buggy. The contract wa.s executed in behalf of the park board by Simon Creenebaum and Pichard Klbel, it is declared. The instrument is believed to have been lost, however, for a diligent search failed to reveal it in the archives of the board, the complaint says. A copy of the park board's records in which the contract with Beyer was ratified, is presented with the complaint, however. According to Beyer the city has re fused to pay him the full amount of, the salary provmed in this contract and still refuses to pay him. , A reorganization 01 tne para imuu under the Keller administration is ! scheduled to take place at a meeting Fridav. The tiling of the suit ny Bever was taken as an indication tha the latter was sot slated to retain his position nd?i' the reorganization plans proposed.

I inquired about sharks, which, according to stories we read, abound in those waters, and she said there were a great many, but it was only once that she saw one attack a man.

Some of ' the sharks are fully 20 feet long. The tank used in her act presents j an interesting construction. The four sides and bottom are taken apart for t shipping, and in consequence considerable - work is required each time it is set up. The seams must be cemented together, the stairo supported ( below and everything just so before , the water is turned in. Before it is j turned in. however, the water must be i filthered and heated to 8 4 degrees. C. j F. Adams, manager, stated that it was necessary to carry a lllter a.s well as their own heating coils since in so many cities the watr was either too murky or contained chemical impurities which were bad for the seals. The water in South Bend, however, ' he added, did not need filtering, for 1 it was crystal clear right from the ' tap. All the four seals are from the Pacific coast one of them from as far j north as the l ukon. and their care and food requires much attention. They are finicky about, their 'diet, and will eat only a soft, comparatively boneless fish. This week they are being fed lake herring. The hsh must be absolutely fresh, however, or the seal will reject it. EARS TALK I SQUARE DEAL Business Men and Officials Invited to Discussion at Y. M. C. A. on Human Efficency. Two score of South Bend's bu-i-ness and professional men, including the clergy and Mayor Keller with his board of safety and board of works, had dinner at the Y. M. C. A. Wednesday noon, and then listened to Dr. Win. J. H. Boeteker, Perrysburg, O., talk on "The Inside." Dr. Boeteker is at the head of the so-called "Inside movement," dedicated to the development of human efficiency and the promotion of the "squale deal." "There are four sides to every square," said the doctor, in analyzing his subject, "your'.s and three others. Then there is still another side, the 'inside, which is the one wo are trying to get at." Dr. Boeteker will be brought to South Bend for a series of lectures under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A., the dates being set for from March 1;: to 15. This will include a Sunday when he will speak in some downtown church in the morning, to men only somewhere in the afternoon, and then to a union meeting in the evening. He also hopes to address the. high school and have a meeting with the city's business men. . . . . hmum UtAU. WIJ AKr MIQQIIUH IM UOTCI CI PC IIIIVJIIVU U IIUIUU I NIL. KELUJIKR, Minn., Fb 4. Four

TEAMSTERS DON'T GET RICH FROM CITY CONTRACTS (contini:ed from pace oxo nlar teamsters and taking their places. Second, the statement that eight teams of horses can be purchased at $l'.4eo must have been estimated as cripples or of the western brand. Imagine if vou will, the city of South Bend working eight teams of horses costing for each team $300. Apparently the humane otrlcer would have a steady job. A team of horses such as can "do the work required. nd hns been employed on the streets of the city this is a challenge can net be purchased anywhere for less than 5400 to ?o0o.

thinking about camels when he wrote the article. What about the cost of shoeing the horses, deaths, veterinary attention, taxes, etc. The cost of shoeing a team of horses in South Bend is $4. and when working in the city on paved streets It is necessary to have horses newly shod about every three weeks. J. W. Vernon, the well known team owner, and Jerry Donovan fix the average death of horses at one to every 1 a year. A veterinary'." charges' are SI and $1.3U a trip. There is also the repairs on dump wagons, which is no small bill in a year no matter how much care is taken in their use. The cost of feeding a team of horses averages $1.00 to $1.2." a day per team not counting cost of man to groom and had out the feed, and maintenance of barns. The boarding stable charges in .South Bend is $17 to $1:0 per mouth per horse. The depreciation on tin' original investment in the aggregate is closer to r0 per cent than 10 per cent as stated In the News-Times article. The assertion made regarding cost of operation of 47 1-2 cents an hour is as wild as the rest, as there is no information that this 17 1-2 cents an hour is offset by the team owners by a payment of 2."c a day for the use of each wagon used by the city. This off-set fixes the cost per day for team driver, harness and wagon $4.7." a day and hands back to the city in three years or a little more the entire price of $110 pdid for the wagons in the first place and gives the city the wagons for nothing. Here U Summary. Here is the status in concise form: The cost of feeding a team is not less than $1 per day; the deduction of 2 a dav for the use of the wagon; driver at from $2 to $2.2." a day; the depreciation, veterinary charges in-urance, shoeing, taxes- hostler car. etc.. which will a vera ire not less than .".Oc per day per team, gives the team owner a nroflt of 7.".c a dav for lo (lays in a year. Question: How long will it take a team owner to ct rick woiking for the city of South Bend? The statement that the team owners have been making a practice of hold ing up the citv hv double charges is j without foundation. W line one man may have done this, there is no reason to charge every team owner with doin wrong. The team owners and teamsters organization is willing at all times to rectify a wrong and live up to obligations and contracts. Thanking you.
