Snn Francisco , Jan. 7. Chief Poatn Inspector H. B. Hall admitted thnt 01 four separate occasions in the Inst tw < weeks registered mall pouches ha ( been stolen as they were being traiiH ported across San Francisco bay. The llrst pouch was stolen on December comber 25 ; the second on the night o December 26 ; the third one Decombe 29 , and the fourth last night. The lal tor two were destined for stations be tween this city and Portland. Hall denies that any of the poucbe contained valuable packages , but It t known that the local postal author ! tlea are deeply concerned and they ad mlt that some of the pouches contalr ed currency. The Yokohama Spec ! bank has re colved no report from several valuabl registered packages and It is know : that at least ono of the missln pouches contained packages mailed b the bank. Postal detectives say thn thefts were the result of the open tlons of an organized band , the men bers of which were familiar with th movements of malls out of this city. Each pouch was missed when th mall matter was checked before boln placed on board mall cars at the Oal land pier. The pouches were In th personal charge of mall clerks wh stood beside the truck on which th mail was piled while it was being tal en across the bay.

D. L. Don one of the best known Gor man comedians In the country hns the laughing success of his cnroor ns A. Nlcliol , the bucolic waiter. The chorus Is n largo bno nnd the song hits nro mnnyi The production IB snld to bo handsomely stngcd nnd beautifully gowned. There nro COM : people in the company. Thnt Norfolk people will see nn excellent muslcnl comedy in this piece with clover people in the cast , la Indi cated by the press notices the show IB receiving. F. W. W. , drnmntlc critic In the Hocky Mountain News at Den ver , gnvo the show two columns , In cluding the following praise : It would seem almost impossible to make a nlav out > i : nf tliu Sunday comics. And yet It linn been done nnd with considerable financial success in the past. The works of Kcnyon Cox , of Out- cault , of Opper , of Swinnerton nnd McCny have been singed and with sat- isfylng results. And now comes the latest aspirant for public favor , George McManus with his "Nowlyweds nnd Their Dnby. " Out of the episodes , with which the readers of the Sunday News are all familiar , n three-act piny of song com edy has been constructed. It was pre sented at the Tabor yestordny nnd last evening , to , of course , packed houses , and I am somewhat surprised to say thnt it is an exceptionally clover show , one thnt Is very likely to do the busi ness of the town during the coming week. The Idea in the first plnce is good. The pictures themselves hnve the conquering human touch , being un doubtedly the best of nil the funny pages throughout the country. The three principal people make their ap peal iu a clean , wholesome way to the family sentiment. Newlywed him self , so outrageously ugly , still has n good face , while his fondness for "Lovey , " his mad admiration for his hideous baby , and his boundless patience - tienco and good nature make him n most llkenblo crenture. And Mrs. Newlywed ! Always enormously pret ty , the nntithisls of her large-mouthed , sleek-haired lord , she rivals him in tender affection and unreasoning ad miration for the awful baby. The throe are the genesis , in caricature , of all family existence , while the element of Innocent goodness that encircles them makes the trio n source of kind ly , general Joy. Many a conciliatory smile has been given this young father and mother by other young fathers and mothers ; and many n time hnve othov members of families' declared their desire to "kill thnt kid , " who never seems to justify the great love showered upon him , and who is invariably doing the contrary thing. But the human note IB ever there , while the fun Is based on the false and pernicious premise of Insulting par ents , or playing hurtful pranks on those to whom the child or man owes icspcct and affection. That is the crying fault of the aver age "Sunday comic. " The leading characters In "The Now lyweds" are honest , sincere , kindly and true to themselves , they offer a wholesome lesson , while the smile they create Is the smile of geniality , of inate admiration and esteem. You cannot but bo fond of Newlywed - wed for his adoration of his wife , even If you imagine his devotion to his baby Is a trifle overdrawn. But here he has not been touched by the live wire of experience yet , There will come a time , however , when things will be different. Ho is at present undergoing the process ol feeling his oats , of being proud in the reflection that ho has provided about all there is to the last census of the United States , and ho is keen to have everyone ho can seduce into his house' hold , admire the terrible Infant with him. Ho accepts that admiration ns a tribute to his own taste , his own power - er , his own merit , in fact ; he being the father nnd the owner of the Insat lablo one-toothed Napoleon. The feeble whines and lusty howlf do not disturb him. however much they may provoke the neighborhood. Here Is a case of reflected self-love On that hypothesis he regards Napol eon as another emperor and the kliif can do no wrong. It is all very natural and true. There are , and have been , million ! of Newlyweds In the world. Maj their tribe increase , and may there al ways be a George McManus to plctor lolly present their Idiosyncrasies , tc make gentle merriment of their folblei and vanities. Newlywed really points the way t ( that reverential glory and loveliness of fatherhood , motherhood and wife hood , and the priceless boon of mater nlty and paternity. Hero absurdly , ye truthfully , Is pictured the lnstlnctlv < secret of the preservation of the race. It may bo a sort of animal foundn tion , but the Newlyweds are the tw < cornerstones and upon them Is bull the enduring love , the companionship the emotional aspirations , the beaut ; of social life , which veneers that in stlnct of savagery which lies deep ii all natures , bo they gross or refined. n In the play , or song comedy of yes K terday the Newlyweds and their aston y Ishlng baby dominate the varlou ' scones , of course , the Infant semen what advanced being the central . ure. But about the three , are n grou i- - - - - - ie of pretty dancing girls ; another grou e of finely costumed Napoleons , a happ ; little party of pajama maidens , and half a hundred other people that hav no more connection with the baby an his eager parents than you or I. Bu they all assist in making n nierrj whirling , fascinating and plcturesqu show. It Is a good show. Better than an ] thing of its class that has been at th Tabor this season , nnd being fresl novel , well costumed nnd affluent of now scenes , Ideas , nnd lively music , Is very npt to catch the town this week. The entrance of the baby In the opening act Is n work of art. It IB dfllciously humorous , nnd the little follow In his spotless attire , as ho comes in backward from under the curtain , In nn actual McManus revela tion. Ills subsequent doings nro given with nlco taste , nnd the little man who does It nil Master Earl Knnpp Is ex ceptionally clover. Emsey Alton ns Mrs. Newlywed IB right out of the Sunday News comic page. She is a stunning make-up , hair nnd all , and as Miss Alton Is graceful , dainty , fine of figure , nnd sweet of voice , It la n pleasure to watch the doings of "Dovoy. " Air. Clifton's Newlywed Is well con ceived , nnd If ho Is not nu abominably plain ns Is the original , ho Is the dotIng - Ing daddy all right. "What is n baby ? " ho exclaims. "A baby Is three parts smiles and fifteen parts noise. Ho sleeps all day so he can stay up all night. People that haven't any bnblcn wouldn't give a nickel for a dozen. Those that have them wouldn't soil one for n million dollars. If it wasn't for babies wo wouldn't have any safety pins. A baby makes n married man glad he's mar ried nnd makes n bachelor glad he's single. One is n Joy. Twins are a sur plus. Triplets nro It's none of your business. " The other parts In the play arc In capable hands. Montlc Arbo makes a sprightly and dashing little Dolly , while n lively , nimble-footed lover of hers n clean-limbed , , good-voiced young fellow Is Ralph Bovln. There nro two GermnnB who nro funny , nnd the chorus Is capital In numbers , cos tume and delicate nglllty. From almost - most nny viewpoint , "The Newlywcds" Is n smartly presented nnd commendable - able production. In this case too many cooks have not spoiled the broth , for the program tells us "five persons are responsible for this entertaining affair. The book Is by Anron Hoffman nnd Paul West , two men who nro notably clever. The music Is by Seymour Brown , Nnt Ayer and John Breton. Some of It is very good music of the light , nlry order , and while the lilt that runs through II suggests the Yama Ynma dance In "Tho Three Twins , " nnd the Mnrsell- Inlse Is hoard for the benefit of Young Nnpoleon , there nre other good things thnt nrc brightly nnd prettily original. Taken ns n whole , "The Newlyweds" deserves nil the success I hear It IB achieving. NEW YORK DRAMATIC LETTER. New YorK , Jan. 7.--"We Can't I-V ns Had as All That , " the new offering at the Nazlmova theater , cnn certainly be called ono of the cleverest works produced by Harry Arthur Jones. This , according to Mr. Jones' own cal culations Is his seventieth play includ ing , of course , one-act sketches , etc. It hns much of the strength of the cel ebrated "Mrs. Dane's Defense" and shows thnt Mr. Jones' skill Is In no way diminished and his wit by no means impnired. He has taken for his subject a certnln phnse of English "so ciety , the picture of which he believes will end many to acclaim with George Meredith , "We Can't B'e as Bad as All That. " Snm Bernard has entered upon his last week at the Cnslno theater in "He Came From Milwaukee" a play that has kept New York laughing since last September. It is one of the best ve hicles Bernard ever had and leaves the Casino because it is Impossible to ex tend the engagement longer. Lulu Glaser continues her eminent ly successful engagement In "The Girl and the Kaiser" at the Herald Square theater , under the management of the Messrs. Shubert. The operetta Is an American version of one of the most sensational German musical successes of the century. Miss Glaser has n splendid supporting company and the piny will no doubt have a long run in New York. Miss Elsie Janls would be n success for her beauty and sprlghtliness , even without n dainty play to help along. In the "Slim Princess" her latest pro duction , h&wever , she has a play that is better suited to her talents than anything In which she has appeared in some years. She succeeds Mine. Bernhardt at the Globe theater. Miss Billle Burke , occupies the stage of .the Lyceum theater in "Suzanne" a play that has been written by C. Hadden Chambers from its French or iginal. It tells the tale of a father who deals in bottled beer , an ambi tious mother and their manipulations to have their daughter Suzanne make n "desirable" marriage. Mrs. Leslie Carter begins the lasl week of her six weeks engagement al the Lyric theater In "Two Women' next Monday evening. Mrs. Cartel has never had a play that gave hoi better opportunities for showing hci emotional powers , and there is no rea son why she should not meet witl the same success on her coming toui of the road that she has enjoyed It Now York. Annie Russell , still as charming ! ] appealing as ever , Is npearlng In the comedy "Tho Impostor" at the Garrlcl theater. There are thousands of Marj Fentons In America as well as In Eu rope , who have found themselves sud denly without relatives , friends , footer or shelter and with no better prospec before them than the streets. Wha Is to become of all such Is the stor ; of "The Impostor. " MUST THE KILLING GO ON ? 8 Discussion Now Turns on the Air Mee and Its Waste of Life , The deaths of the three young moi p Johnstone , Molssant and lioxsey- who were helping to advance th science of aviation , has already calle attention to the nlr meet as a needles sacrifice of human life. Should sue attempts bo permitted to continue how can they be safeguarded ; th need of inspection of machines ; th strengthening of weak parts nil thes questions , It appears , must now b taken up , discussed and settled before ' the list of those whoso , lives have been plven because of some of tliCHO laxi ties la Increased. Comments of some newspapers on this nro hero given : Thu Ilccord-llornld snld : News of the nccldcntH by which Molssant and Iluxsey lost their lives wan received generally with the foolIng - Ing thnt n severe check had been given to aviation. The fntnlltca had been multiplying , there had been nine of them in December alone , the year of flight records had been the year of death records , and now the last day ( hero wore two more victims. The first Impulse wns to condemn the whole dangerous business nnd to say thnt " the rivalry In reckless "daring must stop. . Of course , however , neither the In- \cntorH nor the aviators will give heed to this prohibition nnd though they must bo seriously affected by the tragedies of the year , though some of them may bo dlscourngcd , most of them , wo mny bo sure , will not admit defeat. They will go at their absorb ing and fascinating problem again with new determination. > How Is the fragile machinery to bo Improved ? What bettor methods of protection can bo devised against treacherous nlr currents nnd those holes In the air ? These arc among the questions thnt will occur to them nnd that they will try with unflagging zeal to answer sat isfactorily. v The New York Herald said editorial ly : Heavy is the toll death collects In man's contest for the mastery of the air. But a few months ago It was Monsieur Chavez , the brilliant young South American , who fell to death af ter showing the world the way across the Alps. A few weeks later It wns Ralph Johnstone , dend In 'Denver. This morning It Is John B. Molssnnt , dend In New Orlenns nnd "Arch" Hox- eoy , dead In LOB Angeles. In the rase of Monsieur Chavez , it is settled that structural weakness of his machine was responsible for his death. The preponderance of proof would Indicate a similar cause in Mr. Johnstono's case. Monsieur Felix , Mr. Molssant's former mechanician , in clines to the belief that careful exami nation of his friend's machine prior to his flight would have saved his lifo. M. Hubert Latham thinks a broken wire caused Mr. Hoxsoy's death , an opinion concurred in by F. S , Jackson of the Wright company. Each case emphasizes the Impera tive need of official strength tests of all aeroplanes , long urged by the Her ald. It Is not pleasant to think that these men , or but one of them , pre eminent In their profession , might have been spared to carry on their work had their machines been subject ed to rigorous examination by compe tent officials. The NQW York Press snld : How very dangerous the new sport now is the death list for 1910 shows only too plainly. Many of our readers will be. only shocked at what they re gard as nothing but a preventable waste of life. " And In n sense those lives wore wasted. All these bravo men might have been .alive , and are not. Yet the human race Is a better and more admirable thing , because men exist who arc willing to take ( hose risks. To Arrest Tllden Man.
