Miss Marie Dressier was largely responsible for the merriment, which was Ions continued and unrestrained It broke out whenever this jolllest of Jolly comediennes appeared on the stage and followed her like an echo as she withdrew Into the wings. In spite of the frequent appear ances of the star there were opportunities tor several other members of tb excellent supporting cast to distinguish themselves. Foremost among: the women In the com pany was MI33 Jobyna llowland, formerly leading woman with James K. llackett In Rupert of Hentzau." Miss llowland had the part of Mrs. Van Asteroid, a haughty society woman, and her great height and beauty combined with her talent to make the characterization very pleasing.

Zella Frank as Breezle Falrwiather, a soubrette. made a hit with her vivacity and general wlnsomeuess. Miss Frank Is a close second to Tcby Claude for beauty and daintiness. Miss Lottie Medley as Rosalind and Miss Kitty Nugent as Dorothy, a pair of gay typewriter girls in the c.nico of Miss Helen I'rinnt, editor of the. Somerset Turnover.

contributed their full rhare to the enjoyment 0 the occasion. The Spanish dance executed ty hfse young women was one or the distinct features of the oerformance. Dave Marroy took the part of Richmond uucKstone, a lawyer, with much ability. I 1 1 1 1 I a 1 1 1:1: na iaum ine pon editor, improved his opportunity to Sly the very latest "fcUing" of the "Billy axter" type. Jack Welsh as Lathorup Leatherbe had little to do.

but in the third act he made a pronounced hit by his splendid rendition of the serenade song Cella." Arthur Stanford Impersonated Dick Tait. the city editor, and helped out materially in the ensemble songs. Miss Dressier is very naturally compared with May Irwin because both women sing "coon" songs, but each has a totally different style. Miss Irwin depends upon her magnetic personality for much of her success, while Miss Dressier possesses the same quality and in addition a most wonderful command of facial expression and a delightful willingness to for the entertainment of an audienca She is one of the Mggcst women on the stage to-day, and yet she manages to perform about as many terpsichorean and comical evolutions as her smaller sisters, and apparently with as much ease. Her Fongs, each of which was received bou-tcrouvly and encored repeatedly, were "Ilufus.

Don't Toase Me." I'm Lookin for a Angal," "I'm Gettln so Thirsty." "Oh. Itaatus. Take Mo Back" and "The Roast ful Musketeer." Mr Stanford's ballad "My Ulri" was well received "Miss Prlr.nt" has very little plot for the excellent reason that it Is fo full of song and specialties that there is no room lor a plot. Ad a basl for all that follows it related in the first act that M3 Prirnt and her corps of editors, reporters and typewriter Klrl r.avo bought out the Turnover ar.d come tu Somerset to "wake the people up." They succeed! admirably. It is safe to say that had the engagement been for two nights Instead of one the theater would scarcely hnv ru faced to hoM people to-night.

Miss Dressier and her company go from here direct to New York The costumes of the feminine members of the chorus of "Miss Prinnt" wer rich end han-lsome. as were also the setting th.at Llhc lavt houing the exterior of Miss Prlnnfs suburban villa, belntr verv jicturesque.

The view of the Herman war vessel, the Odin, rushing at full tpeed Into action, with all Latteries discharging, is a true 1 aa thrilling as the sight of the real ship would be. The unusual advance sale for the engagement of Tim Murphy, In "A Bachelor's Romance," at Kngllh's, to-morrow night, indicates local appreciation of Mr.

Murphy's roil poililun one of the leading cormdUr. on the -American stage. Manager Ad Miller said Lisi uisht that Mr. Murphy is having the largest advance sale he ever had In Indianapolis.

XXX The appearance of the Liliputlans for the first time in this city at popular prices, the last three days of this week, at the Fark Theater, commencing to-morrow after noon, will doubtless result In testing the capacity of that playhouse.

He said America Is a country of freedom for all men and hellers, and that the ratrlotlsm of the Americans will share the destiny of the world. The stars and sirines.

he said, is tne ernoiem or human ity, and declared that European customs should be relesrated to the rear by Amerl tan citizenship.

JIcMIIIen Will Aaine Seren Re publicans The Fire Alarm Contract Bids on Bonds. The Board of Safety was In conference for some time yesterday afternoon. That Is Chairman Hyde and Mr. Mahoney, the Democratic members of the board, were in conference, and Mr. McMlllen.

the Repub lican member, sat at the opposite side of the room casting sheepish eyes toward his two colleagues when such remarks as Well he will never do." or "This man would not make a good patrolman," or This one has been especially recom mended," would escape from either Mr. Hyde or Mr. Mahoney as they perused a lot of applications for the police force. The two men were trying to arrange a list of Democrats to be appointed. It was said they had about decided on the appointments when Councilman Morlarity and William Flynn walked in and this evidently caused an undoing of the plans, for Mr.

Hyde announced that the list of appointments' would not be given to the public at that time. Mr. McMlllen told funny stories while this conference was In progress and later. when he trot the cue from his chairman, joined the other two and submitted a list of seven Republicans to be appointed to tne force. Mr.

McMlllen would not make the names known, for, he said, there might bo changes made, and he did not care to announce who had been decided upon at that time and then find that the list was not correct. The board will probably make tho appointments within thes next twenty-four hours. A SECRET COXFEHEXCE. Safety Board Meets with Fire Alarm Representatives. i The Board of Safety, Webb Chandlee, representing the Gamewell fire alarm system, and Banks Cregier, of the Municipal Signal Company, were in conference In Mayor Taggart's private office for some time yesterday morning discussing fire alarm systems, specifications, etc.

Efforts to learn from the Board of Safety Just what took place at this conference were of no avail, as Hyde said there was nothing to make public Mr. Hyde said the men Etmply discussed the fire alarm system, but it is said that Mr. Cregier, who is anxious that the Board of Safety readver-tise for bids, made several statements against the Qamewell company, alleging that the company was trying to place a seemingly elaborate system in this city so as to Induce the board to make a contract at an enormous price. Mr. Cregier announced that he will make a proposition to the board to-day, and If the board considers it the bid of the Game-well company may be rejected and new bld3 advertised for, which will permit the Municipal Signal Company to bid for the contract for installing a tire alarm system In this city, and Mr.

Cregier still maintains that he could save the city several thousand dolars should he be given the contract. Bids on City Bonds. At 12 o'clock to-day the time will expire for the filing of bids for tha purchase of tho $143,000 worth of fire department and City Hospital bonds and shortly after that City Controller Johnson will open the bids.

It is expected that there will be about twenty bids for the bends, as the bids can be made either for the entire lot or a portion. Tho bonds will draw Zy Per cent, interest. The principal Is payable $14,000 annually, commencing Jan. 1, 1302, and $3,000 on Jan. 1.

1912. PBIMARY ELECTION BILLS. Why the- 31 latnrn Ulli Should Be Preferred to that of Mr. Joss. To the Editor of th Indianapolis Journal: Assuming that the Senate and House are each desirous of carrying out the wishes of the people of Indiana as set fortt1 In the platforma of the Republican and Democratic parties by the tractment of "such a primary election law as will secure to the people a full and free expression in the selection of their candidates for ofllce," I desire to suggest that before each senator and casts hl3 vote for cither the Joss or Minturn bill he shall fully consider and answer to himself the questions below.

To understand 'the questions I quote from the platforms: "We favor as a supplement to our present election law the enactment by the next Legislature of such a primary election law as will secure to the people a full and free expression in the selection of their candidates for office. "State Republican platform "We are earnestly In favor of legislation for the regulation and reform of primary elections." State Democratic platform lWi. "The Republican party pledges itself to do all In its power to bring about the adoption of an adequate primary election law." -State Republican platlorm WOO. In 1900 the Democratic platform Is silent on the subject. So much for party attitude.

Let each member of the Legislature study these Questions: First Does not the Joss bill perpetuate by law and so make absolute the evil ot bossism and so prevent "a fu'l and free expression?" Read carefully Sections 2, 3 tnd of the Joss bill. Second Does not the Jos3 bill open w'de the door to the unlimited use of money ir the convention and thus prevent such full and free expression? Read Section and 1 oto ths absoncs of provisions, so far as conventions are concerned, in Sections 15, 1G and 17. The bitter pays no attention to the corrupt purchaser. Also note no provision as to size, color and description of tickets In Section 7. Third Does not the Joss bill absolutely prevent all participation in the primary election of aV persons who may have seen fit at the preceding election to "scratch" any candidate, however good his reasons may have been? Would this not disfranchise over 2.000 good citizens who voted at the last Indianapolis election for mayor? Could such a voter conscientiously make the required affidavit no matter how good a Democrat or Republican he may be at heart? Will this not prevent the securing "to the people" in part such full and free expression? Read Sections 4 and 6.

Fourth Does the Joss bill in providing for a delegate convention and upon the determination of the committee only meet with the ideas of the platforms of the parties that the reform shall be in the enactment of a law for the primary election of candidates? Consult Democratic and Re publican platforms in legislative and state manual, Pages 02 and 607. Section 9 of Josa bill. Does not the platforms of the Democratic and Republican parties demand a primary election law only and indicate a desire to abolish the evils cf a delegate convention? Read platform of each party. Fifth Does not the Joss bill put both the Republican and Democratic parties under obligations to individuals, corporations, trusts, combines, monopolies, lobbyists, for "favors received in paying the expense of the primary elections? Does it i ot further lower the dignity and self-respect of the people by indirectly putting them in the light of "beggars" for money which they in honor should pay out of their own pockets and would gladly pay if given the opportunity? Is It fair to the chairman of the committee to compel him to incur a 1. ecessary legal financial liability, and if he refuses to do his duty to punish him by tine and disf ranchiierm nt and Incarceration In the penitentiary? Read Sections 10.

2. 3. C. 7, etc. Sixth If all expenses are to be paid by means of moneys raied by "begging" from individuals, corporations, trusts, combines, together with assessments on candidates for will not the election of all tuture members cf this General Assembly be co affected as to impose on the elected member at least a moral obligation to those who have kindly contributed to his election? Rad same Section 10.

Tho length of the above precludes favorable comment on the Minturn bill except to say that If it works successfully in I Marion ecmnty, under Section G3 (Minturn -iitQutj xur 11 fctMVi trsuua to permeate every county In the State. CITIZEN. Lfllll 111 111 I.MIIII 1 'Yj-Va 2 11 inuianapons, CD. 13. Objections to the Josa BUI.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal There appears to be great Interest mani fested In the proposed primary election law. The sentiment expressed by those having the best interests of the people at heart is largely in favor of the Minturn bill in the shape it passed the House of Representatives, as it gives the people an opportunity, to name the candidates of the various vrtles without the Intervention of a delegate convention, and as the primary election would conducted under the general election laws of the State there would be slight opportunity for the "fixer" to get In his work and defeat the will of the people. I have read with much Interest the explanation made by Senator Joss, of the provisions of his bill and of the citizens favoring his measure. The fear expressed by them Is that a minority might nominate a candidate for some otnee. of course, such a thing would be Impossible in a delegate convention, at least that is the impression the adherents of the Joss bill endeavor to convey to the minds of the people.

In all seriousness I would like to ask the senator why a plan that enables us to eiect all our State, county, city and township officers by a plurality vote is objectionable in making nominations for office? Is It not very probable that a minority candldato will be selected by a convention, where there are more than two candidates for the same office? In the opinion of the writer the Joss bill should be reported back by the committee on elections with a recommendation that the title be amended so as to read "A bill for an act to perpetuate the political boss, boodler. grafter and leg-puller, and that it then be buried in the grave of "In definite What becomes of tho majority when a fow self-constituted leaders get together in a ward and select a list of delegates to represent the ward in a county or city convention? At the hour designated for the holding cf the primary less than 10 per cent, of the voters of the party in the ward assemble in a little room on a side street, and. after going through the formal lty of selecting a chairman and secretary, vithout giving the opposition to the "gang" an opportunity to express a choice on said offices, an order is made to lock the door and that none other be permitted to enter. Uhus the 10 per cent. tho delegates and leave the 90 per cent, outside the door, and then say that it is possible for a minor ity to nominate a ticket under the pro posed primary election law.

The above is no fairy tale, but an actual occurrence that has taken place in more than one ward in this city during tne last year What the people want is an opportunity to make nominations without the aid of tho professional fixer and boodler, and this tan only be guaranteed by the enactment of a primary election law that will cause all nominations to be made at the same time and under the control of the regular election officers. In this State the lines are too sharply drawn and the majorities too small for the other fellow to interfere with the candidates of the opposition. Ho will be kept busy looking after-his own affairs. Whlle the writer does not wholly approve the Minnesota plan, which only applies to Hennepin county, or the city of Minneapolis, good citizens of that city inform him that the conditions had become such under the old convention system that tho bet ter element of business men not only re-rralned away from the primaries, but from the elections. The result was that at the first primary election held under the law there were more voters participating than there were votes cast at the last preceding general election.

It is, to say the least. worthy of a trial. The only mistake in the Minturn bill as It now stands Is that it only applies to Marion county. It should reach the entire State. VOTER.

Indianapolis, Feb. 19. Favors the Mlntarn Bill. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: The majority of the taxpayers of Indian apolis are decidedly In favor of the Mln turn primary election bill being applied to Marlon county, if not to the rest of the State, as it should be. When applied 'here It will be but a matter of time until its application will be made general throughout the State, II it accomplishes good results here.

All reforms have to have a place of beginning, and this is a good place to start this one. If the people who have to sustain the heaviest part of the burden of government are anxious and willing, as they are, to try the experiment of selecting their candidates for office by direct vote, the fact that a lot of election fixers and convention man Ipulators, who. if they have any interest In good morals or good government, have thus far failed to display it. pretend to see grave dangers ahead in allowing the people constituting the political parties to control their nominations, should not be permitted to balk this reform. Where did this self-organlzed and self-perpetuating oligarchy that exists in about every political party get us superior wisdom as to best meth ods? It says to the young man entering politics, after you have served an appren ticeship or a certain number or years un der our machine, the length of which ap prentlceshlp depends upon your adaptabM- ity to learn and perform dirty work In poll tics, you may be allowed to participate in party councils and help to name candidates for office in your party, but not before.

This dirty business ought to be wiped out for the salvation of the morals of our young men, If for no other reason. Party organizations are needed to manage cam paigns, but they are not required for the purpose of naming candidates for office, and should be excluded rrom that field. The people are thoroughly tired and disgusted with the kind of government and administration the party convention sys tem has given them in this county and city, and they are demanding that the Legislature give them an opportunity to try another system or naming candidates, with at least a strong hope that It will bring better results. Tney know it cannot make things worse. If a direct primary voting system works badly it can be repealed in two years.

The experiment certainly Is worth trying, and the people have demand ed it. The 8enate should pass- the Minturn bill without delay. If not the Minturn bill. then no bill at all. The cause of primary reform should not be damaged by a fake law.

Let the Legislature give us what we want or nothing. We prefer the ills we have to some other things. J. IL CLATPOOL. Indianapolis, Feb.
