The audience filled the first floor and
the balconies of the theater. The mem

the recipients of many flattering con
gratulations on the excellent program.
Crossing Dangers
Puzzles Citizens
Police Commissioner Ryder is receiving
numerous letters communicated by angry,
solicitous or well-pleased citizens, all of
whom are urging him to more strictly
enforce the ordinance regulating speed
of automobiles at crossings and directing
that drivers bring machines to a stop
to allow passengers from street cars to
get off. Some of them urge upon him
the Impossibility of regulation.
A prominent member of the Commercial
club advises the police commissioner that
permanent blockade will be the result of
any HtempC to enfrireeTfche ordinance on
Sixteenth and Farnam streets. A busi
ness )nan-believes the only system is to
hold each driver responsible for damage
he does. Another pleads with the com
missioner to turn his attention not only
to auto drivers, but the drivers of horse
drawn vehicles.

HE
Secretary of the Schwot Board James P.
Sullivan has just completed a set of comparative-tables
showing the result of the
economic policy of the present board dur
ing the last year. Starting the year with
an overlap that approximated something
over $30,000, the board has managed the
finances with such wisdom and foresight
as to have cleared away more ti an half
the total debt, which will be reduced to
something In the neighborhood of $15,000
by the beginning of the year.
While the praise must redound to the
credit of the whole board, a great part
oMhe commendation belongs of right to
the young secretary, who has carefully
managed the expenditures allowed by the
board for the different supplies of the
year. All told there Is a difference of
more than $5,000 between expenditures for
supplies during last year and the present
year. The balance is In favor of 1912,
whose supply expenditures amounted to
$9,074.57, as against $14,478.22 for the pre
ceding year.
One of the particular features of the
report is the difference between th
bills for the two years. Although last
winter was the longest and most severe
In years the coal bill . for the schools
amounted to $7,366.83, as against $8,S41.6S
for the year 1910-11. This saving of more
than $1,500 is directly due to the activity
of Secretary Sullivan in keeping a sys
tematic check upon all coal received and
used by the different schools. Under
this system the principals of the different
schools made regular reports of the sup
plies used by them. Secretary Sullivan
also Introduced the practice of being on
hand unexpectedly when the coal delivery
was made to the schools. The weight
was tested and amounts checked and ermi
dealers took no liberties with weights des-
tinea for the school board. The follow
ing is a resume of the comparative table

Class Play Given.
"Monsieur Beaucaire" was rendered
last night at the high school auditorium
before a crowded house by the member
of the senior class of this year. Much
applause was bestowed upon the vouna
actors, who really merited the congratu
lations heaped upon them by their friends
and companions In the audience.
Booth Tarktngton's merry humor af
forded a natural and easy outlet for the
ebullition of spirits that overflowed natu
rally the wells of the actors' young
hearts. The sober parts, however, were
not disregarded and altogether the young
actors reflected as much credit 11 nnn
their instructors as upon themselves.

POLICE GIVE TO CLARK
HIS MOST OBVIOUS NAME
On the clean pages of the police ledger
appears the name, "Dirty" Clark. Behind
the name is written the single word
"drunk,," which was the cause of the
name being put down on the book.
Yesterday afternoon Clark, while In an
Intoxicated condition crawled into a piano
box in Ramcat allay, which was used by
one of the residents as a coal bin. When
found by a policeman he was covered
from head to foot with coal dust and re
sembled a colored person more than a
member of the Caucasian race.
At the pollc station he gave the name
of Clark Rnd no amount of coaxing or
persuasion could induce him to give his
first name. Seeing it was wasted energy
to try to get his first name Desk Sergeant
Marshall booked him as "Diry" Clark.
