CHIEF OF POLICE ORDERS
A PRESS CENSORSHIP
Tough is the censorship placed upon the press by the Russian
Czar but tougher yet is the censorship put on the local press y
Chief of Police W. H. Irvin. .. .
“The newspapers shall publish only such news as the police
partment desires to furnish the public" is the edict that has gone
forth from the mouth of the chief of police.
To carry out this program. Chief Irvin this morning bolted the
doors leading into the police station and fishing up that battered
old sign. “Positively private by order of City Marshal Irvm. tacked
it thereon. . u ...
For some time past this official has demonstrated to the public
his capacity for adopting extreme measures and to reach the climax
has screwed the lid to the straining part.
“Yes." replied Chief Irvin upon enforcing this new measure. I
have decided to keep not only newspaper reporters out of there but
I propose in addition to keep everybody out. I have instructed the
officers in charge to see that my command is obeyed. You will get
what news comes in through the wire grating in front. »
What the real motive for this sudden turn of affairs can be is a
question for conjecture. Whether it is to shield the actual perform-
ance of the police thereby preventing the taxpaying public from
knowing what the police are doing to earn their salary is not made
The city marshal gives as his reasons that to do otherwise inter-
fered with the efficiency of the officers in the performance of theii
duty Pressure was brought upon the marshal not to invoke the
measure but it was like pouring water on a duck it availed noth-
ing. Consequently the public will be in the dark as to the real
transaction of the police department hereafter and will have to be
content with what little is given them by the officers.

(1.) The seige of which it treats wil’.
tie the first great campaign inaugurat-

which she took charge near the close
of last year (2.) It is surely a "new
thing under the sun" to draw up a
plan of campaign of a spiritual nature
couched in legal language language
(By the way the commander when in
Canada was congratulated by several
legal lights upon the correctnesa of
her legal phraseology). (3) In speaks
of Ibe inauguration of a great spiritual
campaign similar in character to the

Mr. Burhick on taking the chair in-
timated that he was proud of the hon-
or but it carried with it great respon-
sibility and he would only accept it
on condition that those present co-
operated with him In making the car-
n.vai a success. He then outlined a
very good plan t.iat he thought would
meet with success. He intimated that
about $lOOOO would be necessary for
the carnival and this would have to be
collected mainly from those who were
pecuniarily interested m the event.
The carnival association would be
chartered and run strictly on business
principles.

.he next point and a soliciting com-
nlttee consisting of J. E. Williams
chairman George Eichlitz Charles F.

Ideas. .The mail thing was a grand
Mardi Graa display ou the opening
Jay trades civic and military display
the Battle of Flowers historic
ball* and a masked carnival. These
were however merely suggestions.
They will all be considered in making
the program.

success of the enterprise cheap rail-
road nates were necessary and sug-
gestei a committee for this purpose
be named. The selection was H. M
Aubrey J. M. Brown. S. B. Weller and
F. Cook. On moflon of Mr. Wash all

that so long as this continued he would
not -eek cheap rates for San Antonio.
The alderman present said that the
city council were agaimu (he scalpers
and had passed all laws presented for
the railroad protection and would con-
tinue to do so but unfortunately every
law. even those endorsed by the rail-
roads. had been nullified by the upper
courts. They were however willing <o
cooperate with the railroads for the
good of the carnival.
This done the meeting adjourned to
watt the call of the president.

/ AMUSEMENTS.
A wen-pleased audience was at the
Grand Opera house last night. The
fact that the audience was well
pleased was that “Princess Chic" was
on the boards. Who has ever seen
thia comic opera—and the name comic
opera la uaed deservedly in these days
of musical comedies—will say that
“Princess Chic" is one of the prettiest
productions seen here in a long waTA.
It has Iwen seen here before and
while it was presented by a different
company last night there Is nothing
disparaging about that. The present
company Is as good as the preceding
one and the opera is given with as
much care to detail as before. The
title role of Fleuretta. envoy and prin-
cess was assumed by Sophie Brandt
and she fitted the part well. The come-
dians were Jack Haaderaon Tom
Smith Martin. George Callahan and
George Thomas and they kept the au-
dience in a good humor by their ex
cell ent work. The role of the Duke of
Burgundy was sung by Gus Vaughan
who Interpolated a pretty and appro-
priate song. "When I’m Away From
You." which pleased the audience Im-
mensely. He has an excellent bari-
tone voice and he uses it with skill
and judgment. Miss Jane Vander Zee
had the part of the page and she also
had a solo which enabled her to dis-
play a fine quality of contralto while
Caroline Lum In the soubrette part
was both pretty and pleasing
Tonight the attraction will be Rose
Coghlan and Howard Kyle in Sardou's
play “Diplomacy."
Rose Coghlan and Howard Kyle.
The s-tory of "Diplomacy" which
Miss Rose Coghlan and Mr. Howard
Kyle will present an extraordinary
revival at the Grand tonight is con-
c«<ded to be one of the most exciting
and powerful ever contrived by the
great French dramatist Sardou. Its
prime motive Is the jealousy of a wom-
an scorned. who takes a l>ase revenge
cn a gallant English army captain his
sweetheart. Dora. "Diplomacy" has
been translated into the language of
almost every clvllixed country and has
yielded fabulous sum* to Its authors
and proprietors in royalties and fees.
It has enlisted for its proper present-
ment such eminent actors as Sir
Squire Bancroft. Mr. and Mrs. Kendal
Lester Wallack. Charles Coghlan Man-
rice Barrymore Frederick Warde and
many others Among them all Mise
Coghlan has been the most closely
identified with the role and It was
her Countess Zlcka that carried the
play on to a great wave of prosperity
at Its first production in New York
at Wallack's theater. Miss Coghlan’s
present Revival of "Diplomacy” forms
one of the most interesting dramatic
events of the season. In her support
will appear Lynn Pral-t Louise Mui-
dener. Mortimer H. Weldon Eleanor
Walburg. Suzanne Saatje. Cecil King-
stone. George H. Lindeman. R. G.
Thomas and Henry Aust'n.
"The Runaways.”
Arthur Dunn in “The Runaways."
the famous musical extravaganza that
scored such a decisive triumph when
ft was presented at the Grand last win-
ter will play a Return engagement
Thursday matinee and night. The rea-
son of "The Runaways" great success
is not difficult to discover. In the
first place the entire original New
York Casino theater production was
brought on tour contrary to the usual
custom of New York managers and
the contrast proved a most agreeable
surprise for the local patrons.
Several new songs and novel fea-
tures have been Introduced and
the coming event will even eclipse
In brilliance that great hit of last year.
An entirely new and really remark-
able feature this season will be the
first presentation here of the world-
famous Pony ballet In the celebrated
radium dances the most sensational
aeries of evolution and light effects
ever introduced upon tho stage.
Women Should Work
For Their Own Support
Says Professor Patten
New York. Jan. 31.—1 n an address
before the Ix-ague for Education here
Simon N. Patten professor of politi-
cal economy of the University of
Pennsylvania has advocated that
women should marry early and when
married they should work in order to
have economic Independence. Profes-
sor Patten deplored the fact that so
many married women are in the leis-
ure class. He argued that if the idc-sx
which is held by so many men in re-
gard to the support of their wives is
carried on much further it will result
In a deterioration of the race and a
real danger to society.
In order to carry out this plan of
economic independence Professor Pat-
ten stated that the standard of life for
tho family should never fall below
that created by the Joint income of
husband and wife and under no condi-
tion should the wife think of allow-
ing the burden of her support to fall
upon her husband until the earning
power of the husband has been so
enlarged as to admit such action.
Lack of income." he concluded "is
a reason often advanced against early
marriage. While I realize that this
kind of a condition offers disadvan-
tages I believe that where both the
man and woman act out in industrial
development they will at the same
time develop In character also." .
