At the same time he will enter perhaps, s interesting a phase of his political career as at any time since it began when he was choscn city clerk of Elwood, Ind.

Immigrant years of age; from Wales at four ow tender at $1.25 a month at six years of age; eel puddler at 11; ccmpetent to man- age a furnace of his own at 16— those are the laborious steps of the beginning of Davis' career.

This is the demand of the new- ance to outsiders at a fraction of | est thing in trade unions, formed by men who nightly agree to go to theatres and applaud vociferously on signal of a leader. In addit'.a to the eats they must have beer, free seats and free checking of hats and coats at the wardrobe. For higher grades of applause, such as that which brings the sing- er or actor in front of the curtain to bow and express his thanks for the “wonderful reception,” a wage as high as three pairs of frank- furters and a seidel of beer must be paid. 1‘ The master of the claque is the {only one paid in money. He dis- | tributes the tickets and after all |the unionists in good standing have been supplied disposes of any bal- |the regular theatre rate with the understanding that these “supes” of }the audience join in the applause. | The claque master scatters his ‘forces. He puts one group in the | gallery, another in the balcony and | the best dressed ones in the pit. He | signals each group when to ap- | plaud. Sometimes he calls on the whole force and then like a well trained orchestra crashing into a fortissimo passage, they break into deafeni rounds of applause, “bravos.” TWO CLEVELAND RESIDENTS ARE FOUND, SUICIDES Bodies Are Discovered in Hotel in Vienna—Man Is Identified VIENNA, March 25. {months' search for Ds.
