No Policemen for Hallowe'en.
Noifolk entered inuiowe'en with
out a single e\tia policeman. Consld-
01 ablu damage was done In all parts
( of the city. Telephone calls to the
police btatlon woio continuous and
the police loicc could merely roplj :
"No , wo can't send a man to jour
neighborhood ; we have no extra po
lice tonight. "
Sidewalks were toin up , outbuild
ings tinned over and wagons picked
up and carried over town. In borne
places the damage will inn Into a
good many dollars. Ono fight occur
red in the red light region In which
Robert Bathke was beaten up by a
gang.
Needless to say , no arrests vvoic
made.
A Strenuous Night.
The night was a stienuous one ,
The residence portion of the city was
in the hands of boys and girls rang
ing ages from 10 to 18 ; several hun <
died dollars' woith of damage was
done , a special policeman v\as as
saulted in the east part of town ; tin
mayoi himself had to seek the assistance
anco of police ; for more than ai :
hour the business part of the cttj
was without any police and two moi :
weie kept eonstantlv at the tele
phone In the fire station informing
indignant residents that it was im
posisible to give them protection , be
cause the police wore too busy else
where. Chief of Police Marquard
himself was on duty until 11 o'clock
but with the exception of the icgulai
force , no extra precautions were tak
en by the city for protection duiini
the night. Not one airest was mad <
during the night.
Councilman E. A. Amarine was tin
victim of one gang of boys who tool
possession of his wagon and , taklm
off the wheels , hung the box on ;
telephone pole. A coal wagon wa :
placed In front of the high schoo
building and an outbuilding , carrlec
some distance , was left standing 01
the high school lawn. A large crow <
of boys and girls secured a big hay
rack and wagon and pulled it dowi
Norfolk avenue to Ninth street when
they left it lying in a ditch. Chickei
coops were damaged and chickens Ji
some cases were killed. In all , it i
estimated that over fifty outbuilding
were thrown from their foundations
Sidewalk crossings were torn up am
I many gates were torn from the fence
and Carried away.
In the west portion of the city i
crowd of about forty girls and boy
paraded the street , dividing inti
small groups and occasionally meet
Ing at appointed places. For the second
end time all windows of buslncs
houses were soaped and both busines
men and residents arc indignant a
the lack of protection they receivee
Bathke la Attacked.
Near midnight several young mei
started a disturbance in one of th
resorts in the east portion of the citj
Robert Bathke , who Is retained i <
keep peace In that part of town , ejecl
ed the young men who later returnei
with a gang of fifteen and assaultei
Mr. Bathke. Catlike charges a Noi
folk avenue lodging house proprleto
with being the leader of the gang an
says he has names of every membe
of the paity. Ho declares he wil
file charges against them all durln
the day.
Bathke says the longing hous
proprietor held one of his hands whll
asking him what was wrong and in
mediately he was struck over th
head with a club , with one of whlc
each man had armed himself. Th
gang , says Bathke , ran a short di :
tanco and then threw beer bottles a
him. One of the bottles struck hii
over the left eye , breaking the bottl
I when It struck. Bathko's face is en
i badly and he was rendered nnconsc
ous. A physician was huiried to th
place and while he was looking aftc
the wounds , the two night patrolme
arrived on the scene and informe
Bathke that they had noticed seven
men i tinning toward town through
cornfield. No attempt was made b
the police to arrest these men , Bathk
says. Bathke believes the lodgln
house man held bin hands In ordc
that he would not be able to protc <
himself.
"There is an order that no mlnoi
shall be allowed in these houses
says Bathke "There were at leas
four boys among the gang not ovc
10 years of age. I told the man wli
hold my hand that the boys could n <
como In and he demanded what a
thorltj I had. Then one of the me
struck mo and they all ran acres
It the street from where they thro

in the doorway and one bottle struck
mo In the face and broke. 1 was
tendered unconscious. 1 will file com
plaints against every one of those
men. With the exception of the room
ing house man , the others were rail
road men. "
When asked why no better protec
tion was given Ttii'Hilny night Chief
of Police Matquardt said :
"I had six extra policemen on duty
Monday night and did not think there
would bo any dlstutbanco Tuesday
night We had only two men at work
Tuesday night and It was Impossible
to answer every call for assistance
1 don't know just what kind of a
serape Bathke was In east of town. I
have heatd that some nillroad em-
ploj es beat him up "

CHAPIN ENTERTAINMENT GREAT
Norfolk Will Get Delightful Treat
Thursday Afternoon and Night.
You maj have been at a banquet
mil alter the serving of the last
ouibo , , jou have seen the toastmaster
Ise 11om his chair and saj"Ladles
ind gentlemen , we have with us tills
evening. " And as he announced the
speakoi the guest of the evening
on noticed the feeling of expectancy
so appal out on the laces of those
tboiit the table the eagerness with
which they anticipated that which
was to come
This same expectancy and eager
ness may be felt in Noifolk todaj
because of the coming of Benjamin
Oltapln , actor and dramatist , In his
liottiajal , "Lincoln , " at the Norfolk
Amlltoiiinu Thursday matinee am
night.
Benjamin Chapiii is one of the men
of the stage who is splendid enougl
is a man ; great enough as an actoi
and artist of dramatic production tr
be commended to the entire people
of a community
He is giving to thousands of pros
cut-day Americans the same vivid
true pictute of Abraham Lincoln at
was given to hundreds by Lincoli :
himself a century ago.
He acts Lincoln , realistically , al
most perfectly.
Men who knew Lincoln say lu
does ; thousands who did not know
him believe he does.
That Is ait. Ait is culture and tin
more culture the broader the intelli
gence. Besides , with Lincoln's drol
humor it is entettainmcnt and ai
abundance of it.

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer sail
on Sept. 18 :
Anj' mention of "Jim the Penman' '
in this day and age must necessaril ;
be provocative of reminiscence , and !
temptation to those comparison !
which are all but forbidden. Yet tin
production of this time-tried drama
given at the Moore last night by threi
such artists as Florence Roberts , Theodore
odoro Roberts and Thurlow Bergen
demands a dispensation to the exten
of venturing the belief that it ha
never been surpassed if it has eve
been equaled.
And this excellence cannot b
wholly attributed to these three , with
out the assertion that their supper
was on an artistic parity witli the !
individual endeavors. From thi
minutest detail of the stage furnitur
to the climax there was nothing lach
ing to complete the illusion.
Miss Roberts Effective Throughout.
Miss Roberts is the same stroni
woman BO well and so long known t
theater goers in Seattle , and neve
was her gift of repression and unde
statement shown to better advantag
than last night in the role of the HIVE
tery-tortured woman. She was alwaj
emotionally intact , and when the rays
tory cleared to a certainty of shame
she bore it with a poignant calm fa
more effective than the wildest d (
spalr.
The James Ralston of Thurlow Bei
gen was that of slow-burning agonj
self-consuming. A criminal in whoti
all criminal instincts had atrophied
but driven on the inexorable past , hi
art was such as to alwajs hold th
balance between pathos and the ai
miration that is accorded to him wh
goes bravely and smilingly to hi
doom. Mr. Bergen was the prince o
forgers.
Theodore Roberts Wins Applause.
An underbred Mephisto , coarse fer
tured and a physical coward , migb
sum up the character of Baron Han
fold as played by Theodore Robert !
but it would fall far short of doin
that admirable actor justice His chai
acterlzation was so complex a mi
lange of cjnlcal humor , hearties
greed , shifty cunning , devilish phi
osophj as is not seen in a lifetime c
theater going. These dramatic grace
were set off by little awkwardnesse
and uncouth mannerisms that were a
most lovable , to all of which the fllle

Jealousy May Have Prompted ?
Chicago , Nov. 2 Possibility that
jealousy might have boon a motive in
the death of Arthur Blssonnetto , a
policeman , today proved a now factor
in the investigation that is being con
ducted by the coroner and the police
In the case. The belief that he was
engaged to Mrs. Louis Voimilya with
whom ho boarded , was shattered by
the filing of the patrolman's will ,
showing Miss Lydia Rivard , a daugh
ter of a farmer at Marshall , Minn. ,
as his fiancee and the chief benefi
ciary under the document.
Although Mrs. Vermllya's name ap
peared on the will as a witness , she
denied that she knew anything of it
and said Miss Rivard had appeared
in Bissonnette's life years before and
had been forgotten by the police
man.
Whether or not action will be taken
against Mrs. Vermilya and a further
investigation conducted into eight
other deaths that have occurred in
her circle of immediate associates
will not bo determined until tomor
row. At that time toxicologists who
are examining Bissonneto's viscura
will make their report to the coroner.
Although Mrs. Vermilya Is under
the close guard of two policemen ,
both the police and coroner admit
they have no evidence on which to
arrest her.
