Prlvsts Information has be-n received
at army headquarters 'to the effect that
Flrjt Lieutenant Sidney S. Du. jank of
ths Sixth United States Infantry, now In
th Philippines and formerly of Fort
Lesvsnworth, whose sensational marriage
to a Filipino woman and subsequent en
gagement to a Leavenworth girl, lias been
found guilty of embesxlement and for
Serf and has been sentenced to dismissal
from ths army and flfti-cn months In the
military prison at Fort Leavenworth. Not
only has the versatile- lieutenant been
found guilty of embetzlnment, but of wife
desertion, his wlf being Concepclon Vas
ques, a Filipino woman.
Lieutenant David Snyder, a son-in-law
of Colonel B H. R. Ixiughboroush, and
Lieutenant Louln P. Schlndls of the Sixth
Infantry, are also in trouble, having- been
court-martialed hy ths same court that
convicted Lieutenant Burbank, for Infrac
tions of military discipline. All of these
officers' wers pets of the highest social
cliques of Leaveaworth while the Sixth
Infantry was stationed at Fort Leaven
worth. Member of Exclusive family.
Burbank comes of one of the most exclu
sive of the army families, whlclr'has been
represented in the official circles of the
army for a great many years. Ho first
came Into prominence about three years
ago whert he went to Fort Leavenworth
with his regiment and at once became a
darling of the social Bet for his dashing
qualities. It was not long until his en
gagement was announced to a young so
ciety girl Just out of the high' school and
the devotion of the couple was the theme
for much comment. Society was, however,
badly shocked shortly after by the an
nouncement that Lieutenant Burbank was
j about to bring suit In the Leavenworth
civil courts to have set aside a certain
alleged marriage to a Filipino woman,
which had been contracted during the
former service of the lieutenant In the
Philippines. The rase got Into tho courts
and was only equaled by the famous Tag
gart cas. The case was tried and Bur
bank took the stand several times and
testified that the Filipino woman was only
his "mistress," and that the alleged mar
riage record was a forgery and was
brought foiward for the purpose of black
mall. The case finally vas knocked out
of court and Burbank went with his regi
ment to the Philippines a year or more
ago. where ths case sgaln was revived.
Friends of the woman took advantage of
his return to the Inlands and secured a
divorce for her. The woman was granted
t&O a mon'h alimony and the custody of
their child.

William H. Crane's occasional brief visits
are such charming reminders that comedy li
not a lost art In America; that the stage
still has those who know how to make, us
laugh In a wholesome, reasonable way, and
without wanting to apologize to ourselves
afterwards for being so silly. One night
every two years seems little enough, but
is there Is but one Crane known to the
world just at present, and It takes him
about that long to make the rounds of the
citiea with which Omaha must,' perforce,
! share him, probably we ought to be very
grateful for that one night, and not com
plain because it doesn't come oftener. But
how welcome It would be If It did happen
just a little more frequently say once a
year.
The play In which Mr. Crane appeared at
the Boyd last evening is one that gives no
American cause to blush for his country;
It was not primarily designed to humiliate
the conservative Britisher, buttressed by
manners and traditions that have been
growing since the days of Hengist and
Horsa at least, but It does just a trifle rub
It Into some of the established customs of
that country. It relieves this by showing
very clearly that British young people are
very much like American young folks, and
that however much parental authority and
opposition might have hampered the course
of true love In a day gone by. It doesn't
any longer. To use one of the star's ex
pressions, "paternal objection doesn't In
terest us any more than the ingredients for
ths upper crust of a custard pie." It Is
pure comedy, with a bit of a moral, and a
lot of genuine humor In it. Its best rec
ommendation Is that It gives William H.
Crane a better chance to be what he would
rather be than anyone else on earth, just
plain Billy Crane.
In playing John Breuster Mr. Crane
merely plays himself. It Is devoid of man
nerisms ss such, and yet full of quaint and
Meeting expressions of the face, movements
of the head and body, of gestures that sny
nething and mean volumes, and of a sound
nature, brimming over with a rich humor
and a fine sense of justice and honor. From
the opening act, where John Breuster starts
friim Elkhorn, N D., for Sussex. England,
full of his own conceit and determined to
work a few revolutions In manners and
tilings among his prospective tenantry, to
the last act, where he announces his In
toulloa of leaving ttuascx, England, for
Elkhorn, N. D., . with a lot of this con
celt taken out of him, and the widow won,
he pursues a most natural and undevjatlng
course of true development and outlines a
loveable character with the most faithful
and yet delicate of touches. This Is the
comedian's art; he really seems to be the
man he Is creating for the public. It Is
useless here to praise Mr. Crane; he has
passed beyond the need of that. It Is
praise to the play to say that It Is worthy
of the effort he has bestowed on It. In
this it surpasses both 'The Spenders" and
"David Harum."
Miss Hilda Spong. who was last seen In
Omaha two years ago, when starring with
Henry Miller, is leading Mr. Crane'e sup
porting company and doing It in a most
charming manner. She Is an Irish widow,
her husband having been a titled English
man, but her education has been finished
on a North Dakota ranch. She happily
unites the breesy freedom of the west with
the conservative manners of the Old World,
and makes the connection most appropriate.
Miss Spong's presence, her infectious laugh
tor, and her graceful and gracious manner,
even In her merriest mood, are all parts of
the one charm. She Is surely a dellgRt In
her way. Each member of the company de
serves to be mentioned for his or her con
tribution to the excellent whole. Not a
weak spot is noted.
In another way, the play Is both an
answer and a rebuke to the moderns, for It
has no villains, tells three- separate and
distinct love stories, and still la a satisfac
tory comedy. The audience that witnessed
It last night was one that only a recog
nized star can draw to the Boyd theater,
and the enthusiasm displayed during the
evening certainly must have guaranteed
the sincerity of Mr. Crane's remarks, when
he broke his long established rule and
spoke a few words from the stage. The
satisfaction of both audience and company
was never more happily shown. The only
regret In connection with the affair is that
Mr. Crane and his company will not be
here again tonight. The engagement was
limited to a single appearance.
DEBATE ON LABOR QUESTION
I Form of Organ I sat loa ruder Area
meat Before the Central
Labor Tnloa.
The plan of the organization of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor and the organisa
tion of the Industrial Workers (socialists),
which was debated at the Central La ho
union meeting Friday night, attracted a
large crowd and created much Interest, es
pecially among the advocates of the socinj
1st organization, who were clearly In thr
majority when it came to applause for thel
speaker. Louis V. Guye stood up for thr
American Federation, while C. F. Michael
son, Clark Adair, F.' Alexander, J. Phlprtf
Roe and others took the other end of the
subject,
Mr.. Guye maintained that It was righ'
and profier for each craft to have authorlt;.
to make Its own laws, as under the plan o'
the American Federation, and to declare It'
own strikes, aa to have It otherwise wouli
prevent what the unions were supposed t'
accomplish. This because If left to a vote
of all the crafts when it comes to making
laws the other crarts would invariably ty
against the one trying to raise Its seals o
prices, as some of the others would be af
fected.
Mr. Mlchuelson rose to considerable elr
quence In telling what the federation hat
not accomplished and brought forth vigor-
n,ia innianu nn several occasions, espe
cially when he said the Industrial Worker
ire trying to educate the workir.gmen so
that thev could on their own tools and
get along without the capitalists.
Roe, Alexander, Aflatr ana omen a
the federation, capitalists, the
press and everything except the Industrial
Workers. As these latter speakers were sl
owed only five minutes In which to talk all
of them had to be stopped after running
vcr their time.
At the close of the debate Mr. Guye made
lis report of the Pittsburg meeting, which
e attended. In Which he told of what had
en done at that meeting, which was pun
ished at the time in the proceedings of the
jody. later he will make a supplemental
eport more complete.
