Famous "Wild" Gas
WeE is Conquered
NnWj. ORLEANS. La.. Sept. 29.-The
famous "wild" gas well In the Caddo oil
field of Louisiana, which for six years
has caused a dally waste of from 15,000000
to 20,000000 cubic feet of gas, was con
quered today, according to reports re
ceived" here.
Some weeks ago another well was driven
160 feet from the "wild" well. Air was
forced Into this well with powerful
pumps. It opened a fissure in the earth
formation and It was discovered that air
was being forced up Into the "wild well."
Then mud was forced Into the new well.
It followed the air and finally the pres.
sure of gas In the "wild well" decreased.

Franz Lehar did not exhaust himself
when he. write "Zum Lustlge Wltwe;'
not by a' Jugful. He had another walti
theme In mind, and he presented It in the
form of the "Luxembourg" waltz. Less
sensuous, perhaps, If one waltz may be,
suld to be less sensuous than another, this
later production of Lehar's has In Its
music something more of tho true waltb
quality that which allures, caresses, but
does not merely excite. It may the con
ditions, for Rene and Angele are some
what differently situated than wer6
Danlllo and Sonla, but the "Luxembourg'
waltz Is a more sedate and proper walti
than that of "The Merry Widow," and
yet Its appeal Is well known to thost.
whose susceptibilities are moved by the,
music that stimulates a desire to sway
and swing and turn In the dreamy meas
ure of S-4 time. Aside from the mere
waltz, Lehar has produced In "The Count
of Luxembourg" music far and away
superior to that of the better known ol
his compositions. It Is of excellent tune
ful quality, and will be greatly enjoyed
during the week by those who attend on
Its performance at the Brandels. Messrs.
Klaw & Erlanger have added to the local
orchestra such number of musicians as
fairly crowd the orchestra pit, and tht
scoro Is splendidly played.
One could well wish that Mr. Glen Mac
Donough and the numerous company who
are listed as having assisted In the work
could have prepared a more sprightly
"book" for the music; however, it tells
the story with little circumlocution ana
becoming dignity, and that, perhaps, U
the chief end of the affair. Frank
Moulan appears In the role of a Russian
grand duke, and does his best to be as
funny as he can within the limitations t
for him; Fred Walton has another comedy
role that Is productive of some laughter,
but In the main the humor of the affair
Is subsidiary to the music. Song num
bers abound, and dances are numerous,
well staged and snapplly done. The much
heralded "staircase" waltz has Its proper
place in the second act, but falls of ex
citing the riot that customarily followed
Lehar's first sensation In this line. Mr.
Moore and Mies Elaine perform the gym
nastic feat quite gracefully and with so
little apparent effort that It lones much
of what might give one an Idea of the.
real difficulty. Mr. Moore's tenor anrt
Miss Elaine's strong and pur, soprano
are beautifully exhibited In solos and
duos, and win for them much applause.
The chorus Is numerous, of severat
varieties of comeliness, and is splendidly
dressed. The settings for the two actfc
ore effective, and the whole Is excellent
entertainment. It will be at the BrandeK
all week, and ought to attract much at
tention during that time.

which the play they are presenting at
the American this week, forces upon
them. "Get-Rlch-Qulck Walllngford." de
lighted Omaha's best Judges of plays and
players when seen nt the Brandies theatei
nearly two years ago. The Chester and
Cohan combination Is a sensation In Itself,
and the stars that toured the country
with It then were wonderfully effective.
Therefore much credit Is duo a stock
company whose reproduction of such a
play as this brings almost as complete
satisfaction as that of tho original com
pany. J. Rufus Walllngford, as created by
Randolph Chester, Is too deep a charac
ter for an actor, who handles a now
part each week, to master In the time
allowed. However, Robert Wayne came as
near doing It as seems possible Without
equivocation, his work Is great, and
while there are a few places whoreln he
was excelled by the fellow who devoted
a season or more to tho part, he no doubt
will Improve them as tho week pro
gresses. Miss Lang's versatility stretched very
comfortably to cover the requirement or
the astute stenographer role which she
plays and her popularity didn't appear to
Buffer one bit thought tho heavy work of
the piece rests on male shoulders. In fact
the bouquet of exquisite carnations which
was brought to the stage at tho close
of the second act was for her.
Frank Denlthomo did exceedingly well
with the role of Blackle Daw, and tho
rest of the parts were all handled ably.
The play Is very well staged.
Vaudeville at the Otpheum.
Irene Franklin with Burt Green
shine on the bill at the Orpheum this
week, so brilliantly, that they were
obliged to give many encores. In the
song "Expression," Miss Franklin ahowed
raro skill In both facial contortion and
voice coloring. She Is equally able In
"Waiting for Hubby," "Tho Chorus Lady's
Debut." "The Girl From Chllds," "Fare
welt Broadway," "While In the Romance
of the Chamber Maid," she adds an ex
tra flavor that brings down the audience.
Burt Green pleasingly plays a selec
tion from "The Count of Luxembourg."
The muolo Itself Is not only satisfying
and entertaining, but Mr. Green's Inter
pretation Is excellent. The three Dolce
Sisters lng a number of dainty songs,
time-honored melodies, but none the less
popular. Devlne and Williams In the
'Traveling Salesman and the Female
Drummer," have a repartee that Is witty
and quite new. The feminine half of the
bill la blessed with avoirdupois, looks
the part of a woman salesman and can
dance some, all things considered. Mils
Jane Connelly & Co., gave a com
edy of modern life, where there are two
men In a house and they need a woman
to complete the circle. A girl Is found,
but In pleading for his son, the fattier
gets tangled up and much verbal twist
ing la necessary to straighten him out
Aa aerial acrobats, the Cromwells know
no fear. Their work Is pleasing and high
toned. Lew Hawkins sings lively parodies
on "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine" and
"That's How I Need You." and tell
of all the faith, hope and charity of a
kiss. "Ted" Bailey company has some
extraordinary dogs which pose like
statues. The usual Pathe Weekly pictures
cloke the program.

WESLEY HAYHAVE RECORD
Police Are Now Following Clues to
Hia Identity.
DISGUISED SELF WITH CARE
ThotiKht H Might He Wnntnl In
Scleral Other IMncrs Where Slm
llnr Crimea Were Hiincted
ii ml Several Killed,
New clues discovered by police de
tectives who ate delving Into the paat
J record of Louis Wesley, the negro des
perado slain otirly Sunday morning ny
Officer Arthur Cunningham, may provo
the man to be tho negro for whom police
of a dozen large oltlcs have been looking.
The first clue Is the discovery that
Wesley came here from Grand Rapids,
Mich., recently and that a crlmo carnival
which had kept that town under a reign
of terror for weeks suddenly ended with
IiIh disappearance. A month ago. In
Grand Rapids, masked hlKliwaynun en
tered a Jewelry store and ordered throe
clerks to throw up their hands. Two
reached for revolvers Instead of comply
ing and wero shot dead Instantly. Post
mortem examinations proved that the
wounds wero made by steel capped bul
lets fired front .45-callbrc automatic pis
tols. Tho third clerk was so badly
wounded that he died a week ago. The
highwaymen encnpcd and an far as Is
knpwn are ntlll at largo. Whether Wes
leyj was a member of the Grand Rapids
gang or not Is a point which the local
police homo to have settled soon. He
lived In Omaha four years ngo and has
not been seen hero until a month ago.
I'eenllnr Dlaunluc
Wesley, when trapped In the Ice box In
Maurors cellar, was garbed In a most
pocullar disguise. His shoes wero cov
ered by heavy cotton socks. His head
and shoulders were concealed by a long,
black "nlghtrtdcr's" cowl, under which
was a whlto mask, which made him ap
pear to bo a whlto man masquerading aa
a negro. His hands wero covered by
black gloves, but the wrist bands wore
of flesh colored material, which at a
hasty glance gave the appearance of
Caucasian skin.
Tho negro's carefulness In attempting
to cover his tracks has convinced thn
pollco that he Is experienced In leading
a dual existence playing the role of
waiter by day and that of burglar, bandit
and highway robber by night.
To tho police Ills gloves carry a double
meaning. It Is apparent, the police say.
that ho not only wished to glvi the Im
pression that he was a white man and
thus throw off pursuit, but was exceed
ingly desirous of not leaving tell-tale fin
ger prints behind him, where detectives
skilled In the Bertlllon Identification sys
tem could arrive at a true Identification.
To test this latter belief, the dead man's
hands will be covered with Ink today at
the coroner's morgue and thon pressed
on white paper, so that the skin forma
tions of his hands may be compared with
those of negro criminals who aro wanted
by tho authorities In various cities. Aa
no two prints compare, the police think
that with a persistence, tho negro Identi
fied os Louis Wesley may prove a crimi
nal of more than local note.
Condition of Pope
is Causing Anxiety
HOME. Sept. 13. The condition of Pope
Plus X Is giving rise to some anxiety.
Although not suffering from any specific
malady, the state of his health Is un
satisfactory. It Is believed, however, that
rest and care will restore him.
Audiences have not been suspended
officially, but the attending physicians
have agreed to discourage receptions of
any kind until tho pontiff haa recovered
his strength.
In view of his present weakness It Is
not considered probable that the pope
will preside, aa originally arranged, at
the great function at the closing of tho
Constantlnlan Jubilee on December 8, the
feast of the Immaculate conception.
LONDON, Sept. 29. Tho pope has
granted no audiences for three days, ac
cording to a dispatch received hero. On
Saturday he kept to his bed throughout
the da'. lie Is suffering from great
weakness.
