AUTO OWNERS DISCUSS LAW Elmira Represented in Meeting Being Held in Albany to Consider Proposed Changes in the Statute. President Clay W. Holmes of the Elmira Automobile Association is in Albany today attending a meeting of the representatives of various automobile clubs throughout the state, called by Secretary of State Lazan-fiky to discuss the proposed amendments to the Callan automobile law. The most important amendment contemplated is to make it compulsory for automobile owners to pass the examinations heretofore confined strictly to chauffeurs employed toy car owners.

It is stated that most of the automobile owners feel that they should not be exempt. It is probable that the proposed change will find strong opposition from this class. The matters up for discussion will be threshed out thoroughly and the decision reached undoubtedly will have quite a good deal of influence upon any changes that may be made In the present law. FATHER FINDS LOST DAUGHTER "Young Woman Leaves Home in Jersey City Located Here in House of Ill-repute Thinks She Has Gone Crazy. Christiana Miller, a good looking young woman whose family resides In Jersey City, was arrested here in a house of alleged ill repute last Ziight by Captain Hartigan on a complaint made by her father.

The girl formerly lived in Elmira. When her family moved away she went with them. Two months ago she came back to Elmira. Her family did not know to what place she had gone. She has considerable money, excellent clothes and two valuable rings.

One of these was her mother's diamond wedding ring. Several days ago a relative living in Elmira saw her and notified her parents in Jersey City. Her father hurried here and found that his daughter was an inmate of a disorderly house. He declared that the girl had gone crazy and has asked to have her held until a commission can be appointed to examine her. She was in a house on the second floor of 200 Baldwin street.

Prior to the discovery made by the girl's father, the police had not known that such a place existed at that number. The case is pathetic in many ways. The father is heart-broken. iri'A ULAN U-MORAX TO MEET. Chicago, Feb.

HE SOCIETY TO CITY get off there and I had to lead him back to his seat and have him wait until Elmira was reached. helped him off the train and turned him over to Officer Patrick Mc-Gough, the Erie officer and told him to take care of him. From that day to this I never thought of his being the same man the police are trying to identify, but he is." Mr. Grantier said that he will endeavor to make inquiries in William-sport to learn if any of the men around the station knew how the old man got there. Officer McGougii of the Erie, took Dunn from Conductor Grantier and led him to the Frasier House where he stayed all night.

McGough remembers that clearly, now, and has made a report to Chief Cassada to that effect. Dunn might have come from Ohio through southern or central Pennsylvania, but the fact that he has been traced to Williamsport adds new interest to the story. Dunn continues to be held at the Arnot-Ogden Memorial Hospital, where his condition is improved over that of the first day he was there. He cannot remember any more than he did at first.

ELMIRA NOW HAS MAJESTIC THEATER Manager George H. VanDe-mark Announces New Name For West Market Street Playhouse To Change Sign Have you ever been to the Majestic Theater? No? Yes you have, lots of times, but you con't know it. Every one in Elmira has been there lots of times, but strange as it may seen no one will admit it until after they read about it. The fact of the matter is the Majestic Theater in Elmira is no other than the Happy Hour on West Market street. The name has been changed by the management and wisely, too, for the new title is more in keeping with the attractions to be found there.

Manager George H. VenDemark announced today that the directors of the Happy Hour Amusement Company had decided to call the pretty West Market street playhouse the Majestic in the future. The principal reason for the change is on account of a misunderstanding, which exists among the profession. The name "Happy Hour" has led many to believe that the theater is a motion picture theatorium. This which often interferes witih the booking.

For instance George Thatcher, a well known minstrel, will play the Majestic soon. Naturally the noted performer would hesitate about signing a "Happy Hour" contract not being familiar with the theater's policy and standing in Elmira. The Majestic contract looks better and the management believes will save unnecessary explanations. "The "Happy Hour" electric sign will be left in position for about six months, when a handsome new one bearing the name "Majestic" will take its place. GIRL OF AVENUE GOES TO ALBION Maude Brooks was arrested in Joe DiEerio's saloon on Railroad avenue last night by Officer Butler on the charge of vagrancy.

She was sent to Albion today by Recorder Gill upon pleading guilty to the charge. The girl was taken into custody about two months ago and sentenced to jail. There it was stated by the physician and sheriff that the accommodations were inadequate for a prisoner such as she proved to be. It was recommended that she be sent to Breesport. This was done.

She stayed there two weeks and returned to Elmira. East night she was occupying the center of a room with 25 Italian laborer. She seemed to be conducting an entertainment, when the officer arrived. The woman made an effort to escape but failed. She said today she would prefer to go to Albion.

FIRE INSURANCE RATES! write it at 25 below present Board John Dunn, the old man who wandered into Chief Cassada's office two weeks ago and wanted the chief to identify him, has been traced so far as Williamsport, through G. W. Grantier, of 4G0 South Avenue, a conductor on the Northern Central Railroad. Mr. Grantier stated to a Star-Gazette reported today: "I found the old gentleman in one of the coaches as we pulled out of Williamsport on the night of February 1.

He had a Pennsylvania tire table but no ticket. I asked him where he wanted to go and he fingered over the time table and said he wanted to go to "that place down near I told him he was going the wrong way. "He acted so strangely that I thought he was under the influence of liquor or dope. I questioned him further and finally when I told him that this train went to Elmira he said that that was the place where he wanted to so. "I didn't think he knew much about what he wanted, but I sold him a ticket and watched hini all the way.

He had money that night. When the train reached Henry street he tried to FALLS TO STAGE George Finley, Employed in Mozart Theater, Takes Bad Tumble Sprain to the Leg and Spilled Paint Result. This morning while the members of the Stanford Western Players were rehearsing "The Girl of The Golden West," next week's play at the Mozart, there was a crash and a rustle at the back wall of the stage and down came a massive sheet of canvas and pails of paint, followed by George Finley of New York, assistant to Scenic Artist William A. Cook. The men were engaged on a big panorama to be used in the first act next week, and were working from original Belasco models which were placed for reference on the "bridge" which crosses the stage in the rear, about 20 feet from the floor.

The men work on this bridge and the panoramic drop, which is rolled up from the stage, rises in front of them as they paint, instead of the men working on a swing scaffold. In some manner in raising the drop to paint some more of the scene, a heavy canvas got away from them, knocked Finley and a lot of his paint off the bridge and they landed in the midst of the rehearsal, with paints of all colors smeared over their three days' work. Finley escaped with a sprain to his leg which was attended by Dr. Westlake. VAN DYNE RECOVERS IS WORKING AGAIN Charles VanDyne, former manager of the opera company at Rorick's Glen Theater has recovered from the serious afflictioin which threatened his health permanently and is able to take up his work again.

Mr. VanDyne has been made manager of one of the road companies playing "Madame Sherry." Mrs. VanDyne is a member of the same company. The complete recovery of the well-liked comedian will be a source of much pleasure to his host of friends in Elmira. It was feared for a time that he would lose both his mind and his sight and there appeared to be little hope for him.
