There is but one way to describe last night's performance in the Hip- podrome for the benefit of the News- boys’ Summer Camp at New Dorp, 8. I. Picture to yourself the biggest theatre in New York packed to the doors with 4,000 enthusiastic persons, the biggest stage jammed with celeb- rities, and the biggest lobby filled with pretty girls selling programmes. The attendance meant in the sale of seats and programmes a profit of approximately $4,500. In addition, the advertisements in the programmes brought $1,600, @o it was estimated the gross receipts would total some- thing over $6,000, which will send a good many boys to the shore, Each will have two weeks at the camp. Will Rogers was the announcer. “Here 1s an unusual treat,” was one of his announcements. “This gentle- man never appears in benefits and has never been seen before on the Ameri- can stage.” Then he introduced Nat Wills, known as “the Benefit King,” because | of the number of times he appears without pay. The entertainers were drawn from all the musical shows on Broadway, from vaudeville and from motion pic- ture companies, Some of those who appeared were Fanny Brice, Capt. Barnett and son, Hattie Burks, Lu- cille Cavanaugh, Charlotte and the Hippodrome Ice Ballet, Rita Dane, Bernard Granville, Kitty Gordon, Beatrice Herford, Mitzi Hajos, Ada Meade, George McKay and Ottie Ar- dine, George Primrose and his min- streils, Truly Shattuck, Rose E. ‘Tap- ley, May Thompson, the steamship Vaterland Band, Bert Williams and Yvette, Christine Langhan not only helped entertain, but announced through Wiil Rogers an offer of five $5 gold 68 each year to the newsboys who orm the most manly acts at the camp.

Upon the latter trial, the fury disagreed. A retrial was set for April, 1915, and during the proceedings, Flynn was taken ill and dled, Flynn's administrator thereupon brought suit to recover Flynn's salary { from the time of his suspension to the day of his death. This suit was opposed by Police Commissioner Woods upon the ground that the trial of Flynn before him had been | adjourned at Flynn's own request. |In support of this view, Commis- sioner Woods put in evidence Section 292, of the Greater New York Charter, which provides as follows: “He (the Police Commissioner) shall have power to suspend without pay, pend- ing the trial of charges, any member of the police force. If any member of the police force so suspended shall not be convicted by the Police Com- missioner of the charges so preferred he shall be entitled to full pay from the date of suspension notwithstand- ing such charges and suspension.” This contention was upheld by the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, which held the Flynn claim was not within the spirit of the meaning of the section of the charter, In overruling this decision, the Court of Appeals says: “During the pe officer's suspen- “THIS COUPLE INDEPENDENT Woman Left Widow With Two Chil- > ling capital of resources ordinarily wasted; in others, {t means the utilis » | food and shelter.
