Louis Mann himself was the whole
show at the tlrand theater last night.
The title was "The Hubble." and
without Louis Mann It would have
I n a bursted bubble. Hut with
Mm in the show it was n success and
the kind of a success that delighted
a packed huuse.
Although it was billed as a com-
edv it savored much of the tragedy
r'd Manns acting when he found
Lis bubble had been pricked was
ef the highest order. The same cun-
not be said of his accompaniment.
Miss Uiura Walker as Lose M tiller
the daughter of Oustnve Muller. tho
.delicatessen storekeeper portrayed
by Munn himself acted like an mn-
Itteur. Several times she forgot her
lines and muddled things up f""-
sabrablv. Her lover Kichnrd Ora-
lmni portrayed by Oonrge Welling-
ton was but little hotter while Ivan
U Miller lis Joseph Mahlen the vil-
!ian. the fifth member of the coni-
'iinv was not up stage enough to
.lem'onstrate what he could do.
The play Itself was based on that
old familiar story of a mining stock
promoter playing on the strength of
relatives to persniide a hard-workitiR
German to invest his lifetime savings.
Iiichard (iniham was the lover of the
(Icrnuins daughter. It in bad re-
pute with her father. Of course llm
stock goes kiting and the family be-
acves they are rich. Tho villian Is
rnided the stock breaks but tho
limit liter's lover saves the occasion
and lolls the villian.
The comedy lines were fine and

West on Fourth Street;
Unth Were Drunk.
crowd of a hundred
theater diners were mak
ing merry in the grillroom and no
fewer than a score patrons were at
the refreshment tables In the (junker
drug store in the heart of the busi-
ness district last night at 11::i
o'clock a vouth leaped from n buggy
that drew up in front of the place
staggered through the door and
pressing a 4.'i calibre revolver to the
head of Miss Mac Littler tho cashier
demanded she turn over the money
to him. She tossed about $HU In bills
into his outstretched bat and he rati
to the buggv where he was pulled In
and th" robber:' made a hurried es-
cape going west on Fourth strict.
L'vcry available policeman was on
the trail in live minutes but the men
could not be found.
The holdup had been accomplished
before any of the crowd knew what
had happemd. Those who had seen
it declared afterward they thought
the drunk. -n youth was merely play-
ing a Joke hut when he drew back
the trigger rn the revolver he held
leveled at 'he cashier's head no one
could Interfere.
Miss I. It'lor said she did not realize
what was going on at the time. "1
saw the rig stop and a man get out
with a white handkerc hief tied al t
Ids' face and I thought he had been
injured. He staggered up to me and
iifiintml ii larv-p tiparl-tiandlcd eun at
my head and said "(Jive me the cash'
and emphasized the remark bv press-
ing the barrel to my ear.
(live 1 1 illi the Money.
"Then I knew he was in earnest
but I thought I could bluff him long
enough for someone to catch him
from behind. Finally he told me he
had asked me f r the third and last
time to hand over the money and I
picked up a handful of bills and
threw them in his hat.
"lie was so drunk he fell against
the door as he was leaving and when
he reached the bug'sy his companion
had to puli him in. 1 really wasn't
so frightened at the time it happened
as 1 was after I knew 1 had really
been held up."
Pedestrians Riw the rig turn west
on Fourth street off Main on two
wheels and the horse apparently run-
ning away. One of thu roblum was
leaning fur out and crying "Whoa" at
the animal and many were attracted
by the reckless driving as thu open
lii;;gy swayed down the street.
The police were notified at once
and the nuto patrol was in pursuit
within a few minutes after the rob-
bery but not a trace of the men could
be found.
Several piiati! automobiles were
pressed into service and were after
Hie bandits almost before they were
lost to sight but no one saw them.
It was considered the most daring
holdup that has been brought to the
attention of the police in years. Hoth
the robbers are said to be mere
youths.
Al.uiv persons were passing the
store lit the time of the holdup but
did not notice anything unusual.
'I he alarm spread as soon as the man
was pulled into the buggy and tho
fciiri.ssl'ul dash for liberty followed.

AFII.Ilil'STKK led by J. J. N.
Sykcs brother of the illustrious
Jim destroyed the plans of the re-form-Iicmocrats
at last night's meet-
ing of the Cotton Sox held in the dis-
trict courtroom.
A large crowd gathered for the first
Democratic meeting prior to the city
primaries which are only five weeks '
away. Men who spoke against tho
Democratic ticket in the last city dec-
tioii made c loiiiu nt appeals for citl- i
zeiis to support the Democratic;
nominees in the coining municipal
dectlon and the utmost harmony pre-
vailed. The well-laid plan of Tate I'.rady
and William Stryker to secure the
endorsement r Merril .1. lilass for
mayor was not carried out after it
had been seen that those present
would not stand for such a move.
Resolutions of reform nature that
were brought to tin; inciting were
never introduced.
I'robably the most effective speech
of the evening was delivered by C. 1'.
t'hcliaiill said by many to lie thu per-
sonal representative of Carl Megee.
"All intelligent men" said Chcn-
ault "admit that there has been boot-
legging and gambling in Tulsa but
we must not lie too iiiiek to critici.e
the officials for not stamping it out.
Siippiissing those evils is a bigger
job than most of us imagine. And
we must remember that ulnng with
these things the city has grown and
prospered until it is one of the best
cities in America. We have the fin-
est churches in the state here and a
Y. M. ('. A. building of which we
should all be proud."
"The Y. M. C. A. and the churches
should not mix up with polities'' he
declared "for that is not their mis-
sion. Thcir's is a higher Ideal and I
am alisoluielv opposed lo enner uiu
church or the Y. M. .'. A. taking any
part in politics."
Clienaiilt said that he was a "yellow
dog Democrat" and would vote the
ticket regardless of who the candi-
dates might be.
"County Attorney F.d Crossland sec-
onded this sentiment and asked for all
those who believed in such a prin-
cipals to stand up. All save two rose
to t heir feet.
M. .1. Cilass presided over the meet-
ing lilass it is said lias been
groomed by Tate I'.rady for mayor
and it was the Intention last njghl to
secure from the inform element an
endorsement of him so that he could
go into the primaries with their sup-
port as well as the backing of the lib-
eral Democrats.
K. .1. Lundy a newcomer who once
presided over the Arkansas state sen-
ule was the first speaker lie talked
on national politics.
Tom Lyons anil H. F. A by the other
advertised speakers were not present.
Charles T. Abbott who seems to
have no opposition whatever for dele-
gate to the national convention stated
that if ho went to the SI. Louis con-
vention he would support Woodrow
Wilson and his policy of preparedness.
Former District Judge L. M. I'oo
pleaded with the Democrats to cast
aside personal feeling and vote for is-
sues rather than men.
"No man ought to be tolerated" ho
said "who uses thu parly for an
ulterior motive. There is no discord
in the party hero but someone Is try
ing to graft on to the body politic an
issue that has no business there. Let
us get out a ticket and then vote for
Democratic principles."
County Judge John It. Kamsoy
urged that factional fights bo forgot-
ten and the Issue bo met siiiarely as a
party. C. L. Holland president of the
Taxpayers' League talked along sim
ilar lines.
I. J. N. Sykes was the next speaker.
He exclaimed that he usually wrote
the speeches and his brother Jim de-
livered them but In this case ho
wanted to be the orator himself and
he did not propose to stand by the
five-minute rule adopted by the chair-
man. Took All the "lc."
He talked for thirty-five minutes.
Dozens of the spectators left during
his address and by the time he had
finished any plan of a political nature
that might hue been in process of
formation had been forgotten.
Tate llrady was called for. He re-
viewed the campaigns of the early day
and spoke in behalf of "clean citizen-
ship" and "clean tickets" such as he
had helped arrange In the "days back
yonder." He described the recent ad-
dress of Woodrow Wilson at Kansas
City.
Chauncey A. Houston said that tho
Democratic party had won in tho past
and could win again if it stood on a
platform of law enforcement.
It. M. Lear explained that he had
not made a political speech in ten
years hut had been asked at tho Y.
M. C. A. building early last night to
say something at this meeting. Ho
declared that a man did not have to
possess wealth to be an Ideal candi-
date for office but the most Important
requisites were a clean mind and a
clean body.
(leorgo Stanley was called for but he
declined explaining that Tato Urady
had taken up his time.
And then the meeting adjourned.
About four hundred persons were
present.

"No; let us not forget the poor and

Although the recent lire nt Sand

specimens of animals in the park zoo
Hie work of collecting oilier animals
lor the restocking of the zoo has
been undertaken in a way that makes
it seem piobable that a much larger

there.
For this dopai tiiifint of the park ar-
rangements are now under way for
the construction of a fireproof menag
erie binbling consisting oi sleaiii
heated compartments for the winter
with display pens running out from
either side of the mum structure.
More annuals have been ordered from
dealers in all parts of the country with
the Intention of far surpassing both
in numerical quantity and rarity all
creatures that have heretofore. In-
habited the park zoo and uhh h per-
ished In the Hie that destroyed their
winter quarters und the big dance
pavilion.
The dance pavilion was a "ouininili-
oiis one equipped with ceiling: fans
and convenient in all respects. It had
a floor of hard maple ot more than
a hundred feet square and during tlie
past four years thousands ol couplet
hud danced there each season. It was
a big feature of the park.
Work that bus already been set in
motion will likely develop both zoo
and dance pavilion before the. begin-
