City. Next Week August Sdle and Stock Clearances Unite to Make Days of Forceful Attractions! SKIN TROUBLE TOOK HI OFF HER HEAD ther urge all citizens, regardless of party affiliations, to join with the Republican party in exerting every possible, effort to defeat this lnlqultlous measure. Kracke Was Very Quiet, but Offered One Resolution. Naval Officer Kracke, who for a real leader was very quiet, offered a resolution that Chairman Calder be empowered te appoint four committees on finance, law. issues and literature, and public wettings, halls and speakers.

The last two will contain nine members each, but the law and finance committees will have power to increase their membership at will. Under this resolution the chairman will have the privilege of appointing various subcommittees. The chairman will be subject at all times to the will of tho provisional committee. This is In line with the policy oj, the new leaders in keeping the control from the hands of one man or set of men. The powers will be widely distributed and the leaders believe that a committee as large as slxty-flve can thus be made more Mr.

Kracke, in offering bis resolution, made particular mention that the appointments of the chairman would have to meet with the approval of tho whole committee. The identity of the new committees will not be made known for about ten days. There is much speculation as to who will be chosen to serve, particularly on the important finance and law committees. Frederic E. Gunnison and, former Representative.

Charles B. Law are being discussed for chairman of the law committee, and the. choice for head of the finance committee is understood to lie between Colonel Andrew D. Baird and F. A.

M. Burrell. Marcus B. Campbell, who did a lot of talking last night, appears to be the logical man for chairman of the committee on Issues and literature. All Issues Will Not Be Made Public Until Committee Gets to Work.

The Issues of the campaign as manufactured by the new committee will not be sprung on the public until after committees provided for in Mr. Kracke's resolution have been appointed. As outlined by Mr. Campbell last night, however, they include the Gaynor charter, the record of the Legislature, various bills passed, including the "ripper" measures, which Republicans regard a3 political, and emphatically the law to create three new Judges in this county passed, so it was pointed out last night by Mr. Campbell, against the wishes of the present Judges, when there was no demand by the public for them, and in spile of the fact that there was no work for them to do.

With the provisional committee started on its way. Representative Calder and Naval Officer Kracke will leave town soon for a rest. When they return they say they will be at Republican headquarters for a time every day and on one or two evenings each week. Judge Jacob Brenner has in his hands $1,251.09, left over from the county campaign fund of last year. He said last night that he was ready to turn it over to the new treasurer right off, only he had forgotten to bring his check book along.

Jacob Livingston brought up the point as to whether It would be legal tor Judge Brenner to do this until Treasurer White had filed his certificate with the Secretary of State. Mr. White will do this before he getB any money from Judge Brenner. AFRO-AMERICAN NOTES. An musical entertainment was give by Mrs.

L. L. August 11-Wlth a burned out dynamo in the, power house, the trolley cars of the Bnbylon Railroad Company are on a vacation. The dynamo burned out yesterday, but It was expected that the delay would be of slight dura- was found, however, that the dynamo was so badly injured that it will have to be replaced and a now machine Is expected today. The superintendent hopes to have the new machine installed and cars running by tomorrow.

The accident, he says, is due to the machine having been weakened by electrical storms earlier In the summer. REALLY OPENS II LAST Dr. Hale Has Honor of Being the First Bather, and Others Quickly Follow. 102 IN FIRST TWO HOURS. Bath Has Many Innovations, Including a Columbia Student as "Censor of A whoop of delight went up from Dr.

William Henry Hale, superintendent of public baths In Brooklyn, and nine boya, when the doors of the new municipal bathhouse at Coney Island swung outward at 5:15 o'clock this morning, and the big bathing pavilion was at last ready for business. Dr. Hale was the first bather. He had been waiting in line for sometime. When he got a chance to plank down his dime, entitling him to the privilege of a room, ha did it with the proud announcement: "1 am a private individual, a citizen of the United States and a resident of Brooklyn.

I wish to take a bath at the new municipal bathhouse." With his suit tucked under his arm, Dr. Hale retired to the privacy of his room and soon emerged ready for a battle with the surf, smiling contentedly. Dr. Hale is not nearly so young as the nine gleeful batherB who followed him, but he heat them all to the water. When he emerged again, dripping, he said that he-bad cnloyed his bath immensely.

The bathers came quite fast as soon as the public had assured itself that the doors were really open. In the first two hours and a half there were li)2 patrons, and that meant Just S10.2U collected. Bathers Brought Their Own Suits. Bathers are required to take their own aulti with them, but none of the 12 lacked for bathing garb today, and all seemed agreed on the proposition that the new bathhouse was a great success. One hundred and two bathers seems quite a crowd, but five or six times ti.at number might occupy rooms In the new pavilion at one time without making much of a showing, for the great structure is designed to house seven or eight thousand at one time.

Howard Woody, superintendent of Tubllc Buildings in Brooklyn, was on hand when the doors were unlocked to that all the arrangements were carried out smoothly and that the bathhousi-was in the order it should be in. After he had supervised things for a short time hp went hflr-k In The bathers who entered the building today found many Innovations. They dls-j covered mat tnere were nineteen attend- ants on duty all clad in natty, well-fitting white duck uniforms, with white caps, like those the mounted wear. and burnished yellow buttons on their i coats. Ihey looked quite Imposing, take It all In all.

and the bathers were visibly Impressed. Bath Has a "Censor of Morals." Then there was a censor of morals-something entirely new. The censor of morals Is a Columbia University student and he Is posted at the rear door, the bathers emerge on their way to the water, Now If there is any bather wear-inc a suit which would shock Founder Bradley If he should see It down In Jersey the bather Is shooed back and made to understand that he must don some other less noticeable suit or forego his bathing privileges until such time as he can venture info the water in a slat w'rm would not make Anthony Corns fork I bat an eye. i I niuLaiH nan an easy limp of It this morning. Hp didn't havp to rensor anything in thp first hours of thf day but he kept his eminently proper pye peeled Just the same for the appearance of anything which should smack of an infraction of the rules.

"I have suffered from birth with skin trouble, and doctored with four of the best doctors that could be found, without any lastingeftects.Then I used several kinds of patent remedies, only growing worse Instead of better. After using them long time! was so bad that it took the hair off my head, and even my eyebrows too, and made my eyes so H4 kept In a dark room for several weeks. I was out of my head for a long time. When a friend came to see me, she told me to get some of the Cuticura Remedies, and she knew they would cure me, so I got some packages of Cuticura Ointment and Resolvent and used them and was cured. This was about tw years ago, and 1 have never had a touch or It since.

This Is a miracle for my father's family was always addicted to this trouble, a dread disease. "Also my husband had had salt rheum for twenty-three years, and after I had such a wonderful cure through the use of the Cuticura Remedies, he sent for some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment and Resolvent, and used them himself and he was cured. His flesh was covered with stuff like fish scales, especially in the winter, and he even had It in his hair so bad he had to keep his hair cut close to his head. It even grew down on his face, but we are now both cured of these terrible diseases, and are both happy over our cures through the uste of the Cuticura treatment."

No one who knows Mr. (trout would believe he would Intenlonally make a wrong report to the Hanking Department.

He undoubtedly fdgned the reports which the bookkeepers of the bank prepared, and told hint were eorreei. Just as any other uflluer of a large institution would do. Is not strange that during all this lengthy investigation no questions have been asked to olstover what assets existed for tin? payment the depositors.

Superintendent Thatcher of the Build ing Department today placed a squad of men at. work notifying moving picture men in Brooklyn about the new law, passed on July 24, which makes It compulsory upon owners of the picture shows to have their machines In fireproof compartments. The picture men will be given reasonable time to comply with the law. Those who do not will be arrested and fined. The law hits several hundred places In Brooklyn, as It Is retroactive, aud few of the moving picture houses in the bor ouch vvete built with the machines within fireproof walls, flooring and celling.

Th" work of rebuilding will be expensive, and it is expected that many of the cheaper class of these shows will be forced to discontinue business. Hereafter uo moving-picture place tan he opened In Brooklyn until the Building Department hag approved of the plans, which means that the resorts will bo safer for the patrons and that In case, of fire or explosion only the operator will be within the area of danger.

IN HER NEW PLAY The Real Thing'1 Shows Actress Personally at Her Best. MINNIE DUPREE HELPS, But Comedy Itself -Is Slight First Legitimate Offering of New Season.

The Real Thing." a comedy of every-rlay life. In three acts, by Catherine i hlsholm 'ushing: ulcbartl (Jrayson, the nusnann rranK Kate Grayson, the wife Minnie Dupree Jack, Dorothy, the children, Maei'oniber. Alllene Morrlnon Olive Wveoff. the understudy Kerhy Jess Lorraine, the widow Miss ('rosmatl Tern Bradley, the old beau lbert Brown Time the present. lace J' reepoi t.

The first legitimate offering of tha new season was disclosed last evening at Maxine Elliott's Theater, Manhattan, when Henrietta Crosman appeared in a new mod ern comedy by Catherine Chisholm dish ing entitled "The Fteal Thing." Though the evening was extremely unsuitable to the fullest enjoyment of the theater, Miss Crosman's delightful acting lu a play of slight texture and obvious denouement was nevertheless a rare treat. The omcdy deals with the complications like ly to ensue In any home wfterss-She wife, wrapped up wholly in her children and lu her household work, neglects her huB- band's pleasure and comfort and permits his inevitable association, in con sequence, with other women. The appearance on the scens at the crucial moment of the wife's sister, a widow, aud possessed, as widows invariably are, in books and plays, with a full share of worldly wisdom, saves the situa tion for the wife. The widow, played by Miss Crosman, enlarges the perspective her sister has of life and, during the husband's absence on a vacation, so changes the order of things In the little household that upon the husband's re turn there is no longer any temptation offered him to forsake his hearthstone aud his life companion for the society of others. The plain and unattractive little wile renews her interest In the things life that her husband is interested in; tue children are made to assume their right ful place In the home; the wife once mure pays attention to the little niceties of dress that make women attractive, ana waen the final curtain falls it is plain to be seen that a home that was on the verge of being wrecked has again been safely steered Into peaceful waters, aud that husband and wife are in a fair way to find the society of each other more congenial and satisfying than before.

Aud incidentally the widow, whose tact, resolution and wisdom have accomplished this transformation, meets once more the sweetheart of her youth and enters upon the prospect of a long life of happiness with him. So much for the plot unfolded In the little play. That It is obvious from the beginning just what turns the piece will take does not detract from the brightness of many of the line3 and situations nor from the opportunities afforded every member of a wholly excellent cast to shine in merry portraiture. All though the offering borders at all times on the brink of farce lis lesson Is a practical and wholesome one. For all this, however, there is rather too much seen and heard of two precocious, though capital, child actors and there is much of repetition of both dialogue and situation as the play progresses.

The "real thing" about the play is Miss Crosman's acting, and this would compensate for a far less entertaining vehicle. It is doubtful if there is a more experienced, skilled and thoroughly delightful comedienne on the American stage than Is Miss Crosman. Her role last evening wag an exacting one, calling for exuberance, delicacy and the sense of humor. In none of these was Miss Crosman deficient. Her performance was spirited, buoyant and delightful.

She made the widow soothing to the nerves. If derisive in action and fie tormined In principle. The long; scenes her sister's children wre acted with warmth of fepHn and discretion, and nil in all Miss Crosman personally achieved a sun-ess as solid and substantial as any in her career. ii it ie I mi pi ce as Ui wire likewise did 1 rt hlmj SfMl-ll US il lllll LU the dash and mast pry of situation that una shown in the character of the sister, indeed, nvery role was admirably artocl Frank Mills as the husband, Albert! Brown as the old-time sweetheart of the widow, and Marion Kirby its the girl who nearly causes the husband to forget his duty to his wife, each contributed admir- jaeic cnaiai ierizauons. as did MacMacotn- ber nnd Alllene Morrison as the two spoiled and pampered youngsters.

Those who appreriate excellent actina; will have no regrets for witnessing "The Real Thing." even though the play itself might be stronger. It shows Miss Crosman at her best, and this, In itself. 1 is much tn be thankful for THEATER TOPICS. Plans for season so far as they concern Liehler Co. were announced yesterdiv.
