GOOD VAUDEVILLE AT CAPITOL. There is an excellent vaudeville bill at the Capitol now playing, with five that are all vegy contertaining. opping the bill is the offering of Tom Smith assisted by Harry New- man. The Choy Ling Hee Troupe also were favorites with the audi- ences yesterday. Margaret and Mor- rell in ‘The Tourists,” offer a lively act in which the audience is taken on a flying trip around the world and brought back to the U, 8. A, for the finale, Davis and Morton were well liked with their clever offering, and Nalo and Rizzo went over big with their musical numbery.

It will be a fitting climax to the most not- able music secason !artford has had. With such a conspicuous artist to ter- winate the season a record breaking attendance is expected, The concert may posgibly be the last by Paderew- ski in this country. Padercwski is noted as a man of decision. At 63 he is younger, feels stronger and displays more ecnergy than an average person of 40. Fre- quently he ig asked if this will be his farewell tour and invariably hé an- !swers: lany progress in music, “I'here will be no farewell tour, as far as 1 am concerned.

Milwaukee, May 9.—John Dictz, 63, famous in Wisconsin as the "Defend- er of Cameron Dam,” is dead. Aftev a toffg iliness he succumbed yesterday in a local hospital. His life story is both dramatic and tragic. One of the earliest settlers in the Cutover regions of the north, Dietz, with his family, settled near the Thornapple river and Cameron dam where he staked his all to make a farm home for himself and his wife and children. It was in this little break in the clearing that Dietz came into con- fliet with the Chippewa Log and Boom Company. Dietz had land be- side the river and below the dam. This he cultivated. About the time his crops were in the ground came the time for floating the logs down the river and the opening of the dam re- sulted in the flooding of part of Dietz’s farm. i i There ‘were meetings and confer- ences between Dietz and the Lumber Company, but they could not agree on a settlement and Dietz became a law unto himself. Then started the six year hattle—a bloody battle— which ended when Dietz surrounded by a posse, surrendered after he had virtually exhausted his supply of am- munition and after his home had been riddled with bullets. Oscar Harp, deputy sheriff, was shot to death in the battle, v Dietz was tried for murder and found guilty, He was sentenced to serve the remainder of his life in the state penitentiary but he served only ten years. He was liberated in May, 1921, on a pardon granted l»\ Gover- nor lol\u. Blaine, WON Al LOW DIVORCE, Trish Govt. Will Not Akree to Abso- lute Decrees, Despite Rumors,, Dublin, May 9.-—Notwithstanding intimations to the contrary it is au- thoritatively stated that the Dublin | government has no intention of alter- ing the law so as to provide for com- plete - divorce, A number of persons, desiring to remarry after having ob- tained judizial separations from the Irish courts, achisved that end by promoting private legislation in the British parliament through the House of Lords, and others now are appeal- ing to the I'ree State parliament to pass private legislation in the same way. A number of bills have been | lodged for this purpose, but they are held up pending inquiry into the whole matter by a joint committee of the Dail and senate, It l& argued on the other hand that the I'ree State should not grant com- plete divorces at all, and on the other that Protestanis should not be expect- ed to lose an advantage which before the creation of the Saorstat hey pos- sessed as British subjects domiciled in Ireland.
