other six minor games all played at
Cambridge, drew about 90,000 persons
and pushed the total receipts beyond
the $300,000 mark.
The actual receipts for the Harvard
management are from $150,000 to
I $170,000.f0r Harvard, of course, had
split the' gate money at the biggest
games and had to pay liberal guaran
tees to the minor college teams.

COUNCIL PROVIOG
FOB CITYFORESTER
By Vote of 3 to 2 Taylor Ordinance
Insuring Care of Shade
Trees Is Passed
City Council by a vote of 3 to 2 this
afternoon adopted the Taylor city for
ester ordinance.
Commissioners Taylor, Bowman and
Lynch voted for, and Mayor Royal
and Commissioner Gorgas voted
against it.
The ordinance provides for the ap
pointment of a "city forester," who
shall have charge of "and supervise
the selection, planting, trimming,
maintenance, protection and removal
of shade trees" in the streets and in
the city parks. Any assistants he mav
need other than what can be supplied
by the Park Department must be ap
pointed by Council. The forester will
be under the jurisdiction of the De
partment of Parks and his compensa
tion shall not exceed SI,OOO.
The measure was adopted following
a brief discussion on the merits of
the forester ordinance over the shade
tree law. which it substitutes. Com
missioner Taylor incidentally ex
plained the new ordinance.
Got Idea From McFarland
"Some opposition, it seems, has been
directed against the city forester ordi
nance, said he. "However. I got my
thought on the subject from the re
marks J. Horace McFarland made in
his talk before us, a few weeks ago.
"The shade tree law was passed in
1907, but very few cities have adopted
it. It may have merit, but there seems
to be considerable opposition to it.
That was one of my motives in sug
gesting the city forester ordinance in
stead. Another is that the citv for
ester measure undergoes all the ex
pense incident to the removal, plant
ing, care, and so forth, of the trees.
"Some question has been raised be
cause it gives too much power to the
forester. Why the forester must be a
man of ability, and if he is such a man
he ought to have ample power. He
must be a man of technical knowledge
and practical training."
"After all." declared Mr. Tavlor in
conclusion, "the main object is the
csu-e ot the trees, isn't it? Then what
difference does it make as to the
method —as to whether the city for
ester is under the jurisdiction' of a
shade tree commission or the cltv
Park Department?"
Nobody in View for Job
Mayor Royal questioned whether a
IV .7 18 " coul<l be obtained for
SI,OOO Mr. Taylor explained that that
was the salary to start with and that
it the man merited more money he
would command more money. Xo ap
pointee was in view, he said, but he
r , ed . Council that the man who
would be named would have to be a
competent one, whose testimonials anil
other credentials as to qualifications I
would be carefully looked into. Mr
T a> >or denied that he objected to the
shade tree law on the ground of the
possible personnel of the commission
This personnel, he said, would at anv :
rate have to be named by the Councill
The Civic Club sent a communica
tion to Council urging the appoint- I
ment of a shade tree commission.
Mayor Royal had a resolution to that .
efiect in his pocket, but he never pro- i
duced it. I didn't get a chance," he
said, smilingly.
Church Wants Fire Protection
The trustees of the Second Baptist
Church. Cameron and State streets,,
asked Council to provide some safe
guard against possible lire because of
the proximity of a junkshop. Council j
will take up the question with the City |
Solicitor. The paving assessment for
the Sixth Street United Brethren
Church was also authorized.
Council passed a resolution trans
ferring to a fund for taking up the
necessary bonds for the paving of
Front street from Maclav to Division
street to the extent of $22,000. This
money had been appropriated and if
I the city ever loses out in a suit brought
by property owners for half the street
assessment the money will be ready.
It the city wins, the money will be
paid back.

munications with divers at work in
the depths of the sea. During an in

demonstrations in a tank of water.
Wearing a Sorcho diving suit, one man
descends into the tank of water and
shows how divers work on the bottom
of the ocean.
Dollv Connolly is a magnetic singer, j
With an excellent voice, graceful danc
ing and catchy melodies she promises
to be a favorite this week. Miss Con
nolly is ably assisted by Bert Rule,
pianist.

a thrilling little playlet. "Tricked." a !
storv of three burglars who get into a
millionaire's house at one time. Fun
is furnished by Billy Watson and com
pany with their sketch. "Going Into

"THE M MMY"
Heart interest has arrived in the de
tective drama and will be seen at the
Majestic this evening. It has blue
eyes and golden curls, and the clear, |
sweet voice of childhood, and its name I
is Beryl Meredith, the kidnaped child :
in "The Dummy."
Three-quarters of the people who see
heart Interest arrive In the detective
drama, in any performance of "The
Dummy." go home believing that Har- i
vey O'Higgins and Harriet Ford's new >
play is one more triumph for the de- I
tective drama. But the truth of the |
matter is. it is one more triumph for j
heart interest.
To be sure, the "detectuff" comedy is I
full of laughter and bright lines to
tickle the risibilities of a sophisticated
public. But the strongest line In the
play, according to the women-folk, and
according also to manv of the men-folk
who see it. the line that gets over and t"
hits the public with a great big throb, I
is:
"Boy, I want my mother!"
Beryl, with the blue eyes and the I
golden curls, and the noticeable re- i
semblance to Goldilocks in the fairy I
tale which every well-brought-up
mother will Immediately perceive, is a
"child actress" to "make you take back I
all you ever thought about stage chil
dren," as one critic expresses it. She
is childhood itself, ag well as heart in
terest, with all the endearing young'
charms of the little girl you love best !
Of course she is a big factor in "The I
Dummy's" exciting plot, but she's more
—she's the same thing that has drawn I
countless thousands to "East Lynne" '
and "Uncle Tom's Cabin," and '"Way I
Down East" and the great, popular '
successes of the stage—heart Interest 1

taken by Marrophat and Jimmy in pur
suit of the fugitives.
Judith and Rose are about all in with ■
reaction from the strain of the last few j
days. Alan enters the bunk house, sits I
down at a table and falls asleep, his
head on his folded arms The miners I
make the trin down into the canvon
and recover the bodies of Marrophat 1
and Jimmy, bringing them un to camp |
lj»te In the afternoon Judith wakes
and steals out of the room, her pur
pose being to bid a last farewell to
Alan. Finding him asleen. she bends
over and kisses his cheek. She Is
surprised bv Rose, who has. on rising,
snatched up the revolver which Judith
Uu placed on the chair beside the bed.
For the mome.it tempted. Rose lifts the
revolver, but before she levels it at her
sister, suddenly turns It on herself.
Suicide is averted only by Alan, who
springs upon Rose. Judith pockets the
weapon with "a strange smile." indi
cating that Rose's attempted suicide
has svgested one way out.
As Judith leaves tlie bunk house,
Trine's car rounds the bend in the cliff
road. Alan commandeers the car. They
start off. Judith in the middle of the
rear seat, between her father and
Rose. Alan in the front seat with the
driver. Thus disposed, the pocket in
which Judith carries her pistol is next
to Trine's left hand. The butt of the
Pistol protrudes temptingly. Trine 1
snatches the revolver from its holster
and levels it at Alan's head. Judith
interferes in time to divert the shot. It
enters the shoulder of the chauffeur,
who loser control of the machine. It
dashes over tile edge of an embank
ment, but not injuring anybody seri
ously—save Trine. Arriving, they
transfer him to a room and summon
physicians. The consensus is that, if
lie lives he will be more helpless than
before. To this task, Judith dedicates
her life. Two days pass. Trine is pro
nounced out of immediate danger.
The accident has cured Trine. Clothed i
in dressing-gown he goes to the bu- 1

A cry brings everybody about and 1
Judith out of hiding. Trine is seen
slowly tottering up the aisle. As Alan
faces him. Trine draws the revolver
and levels It. At the same instant, a
flash of lightning breaks one of the .
windows, kills Trine instantly, kills !
Rose and all but kills Alan.
When Alan at length comes to him- I
self, she tells him: "Judith is no more." i
She kneels beside him. puts her arms
around his head and says: "I am your ,

a long embrace, Alan lifts her head and I
holds her so that he can look deep Into j

THE COMEDY SENSATION OF THE NEW YORK SEASON
A PLAY WITH BOTH PLOT AND LAUGHS
"The Dummy"
(THE ADVENTURES OF DETECTIVE BARNEY)
By Harvey O'Higgins and Harriet Ford, who wrote "The Argyle Case."
—
NOTE—The title "The Dummy" may be confusing to some patrons prior to witnessing the
performance. Therefore, the following explanation is offered.
J
"The Dummy is an absorbing story of a typical American youth who impersonates a deaf mute
to recover a kidnapped girl from a gang of most sympathetic crooks. It is very exciting and very
funny.
HARRISBURG is to have the original compan/ without change, which played 200 nights at the
Hudson theater, New York City, to crowds of Manhattan's mos cultured and critical playgoers.
The Dummy makes a general appeal. It delignts alike patrons of the orchestra, balcony and
gallery.
