Y., Nov. 23. Fights between state troopers and whiskey smugglers have again broken out on tho Canadian border. State Trooper Fred Waterman, of Troop B, stationed at Ma!one, is lying in the Physicians' Hospital at Pittsburgh In a serious condition. Ho is suffering from a bullet wound In his right leg and cuts and bruises A VERSATILE COMEDIAN Now Appearing in a New Act by HUGH HERBERT "My Little Bag o' Trix" MY NEVILLE FLESSON and ALBERT VON TILZER In Vaudeville is TRIXIE FRIGANZA McGRATH AND DEEDS Orpheum, Memphis, this week (NOV. 21) Boyer. They located them a few hours later in a farmhouse about five mllea from where Waterman was left. The other two men arrested by Corporal Newlng were brought to Plattsburgh and committed to the county jail on a charge of running about his head, as the result of a booze. The two automobiles, a hand-to-hand fight with two alleged booze runners Saturday night. The Eton were captured. They ^ave their names as Charles Lagole and Alexander Boyer, both claiming Now York City as their home. They are charged with P.rst degree assault. JteeeiviiiR a tip Saturday after- noon that two booze cars were com- ing across the border, C' stoms Of- llcer Riley and Immigration Inspec- tor DugKan, of Moore's, with Trooper Waterman and Corporal Newing, started out to head them off. The two state policemen went on ahead of the federal agents. When the rum runners saw the troopers, they turned their cars and started up a dirt road in an effort to avoid arrest. The highway was in a poor con- dition on uccount of the rains of . the_\veok an-'V..th*»lr onr* atupV In the mud. The four booze runr.ers. dl- j vhiltitf into pairs, utarted on the run in opposite directions across tho fields. Corporal Newing went after one pair and Waterman chased the other. Newing did not encounter any difficulty in arresting his men, but when Waterman caught his men and was searching them for weapons they grappled with him and the trooper, pulling Ins gun, shot Lagofe through the right hand. There were only two cartridges in Waterman's gun and during tho scuffle that followed the other car- tridge was exploded, tho bullet striking him in the right leg and running down the bone into Ills knee-cap. Wounded, the trooper fell to the ground, and one of the rlleged at- tackers grabbed tho gii" and, put- ting it to Waterman's breast, pulled the trigger. Had there been an- other cartridge in the gun, Water- man probably would have, been killed. .Foiled, ♦he rv.nntrs ptruck hirn across the side of the face with his dver and left him lying in the woods. A woodcutter happened along later and took the trooper to a nearby farmhouse, where a physi- cian was called. Captain Broadfb-M and Sergeants Herrick and Lynch rushed to Moores from Malone and arrived at the border village shortl • after six o'clock- Waterman described his assailants and told his superiors which direction they were headed In and the troopers squad started out on the trail of. Lagoie and Cadillac and an Oldsmobile, were seized by the government agents. They contained about 48 cases of whiskey, the federal agents said. and SHUBEBTS TRYING (Continued from page 5) ancea in Brooklyn Monday Tuesday. The 44th Street is claimed to bo a steady drawing house, and seems to be ranked above the Winter Garden, New York, for substantial patronage. The Winter Garden is higher scaled and can hold unore money, but the suspicion of paper in connection with tho Garden still clings to it. Detrpit is reported satisfactory by the Shubert men, even their second house, Majestic, there, that runs to 50 cents top. No authentic informa- tion has been secured on tho Shu- bert houso (Chestnut Street) In Philadelphia. Boston and Washing- ton, the Shubert people say, are set for them as far as vaudeville Is con- cerned. Pittsburgh remains sta- tionary, according to them, with Dayton not mentioned and evidently not highly thought of. This week's special bills sent out for the holiday week only will not extend beyond this week, excepting at Hartford, Conn., where another Shubert vaudeville program is to play next week. Tho Shuberts say tho reports from Atlantic City (Globe), where vaudeville started Monday for the week, surprised them, stating big house had been drawn at the $1 top. Their vaude- ville would not bo continued at presenr, they said, at th seaside. The Shubert forces .-e calling at- tentlo to the letting down in the former immensity of somo of the Keith's bills playing crgalnst thei... They claim the Keith offlco has been exhausting such a large quantity of featured material in tho opposition cities that tho supply cannot hold out, when it will be more show against show. Tho Shuberts also profess to believe their bills are be- coming better arranged and that as tho weeks pass with added time and opportunity, the former criti- cism against the arrangement of the programs with some of the acts on them will be missing. Bills Improving The Shuberts make no secret that they are continually reaching out for new housea to expand their booking time, but say they are safe- guarded now against their 20-in-24 weeks' contract. The further time Is desired to generally benefit the circuit and their booking conve- nience,, they state, though no short- age of acts exists in their office, I according to their statement, which lis borne out by the agents booking [with tho Shuberts. The Shubert ■ agents of late have been complain- ing, along with other vaudeville agents, of the long-standing con- gestion on the routing books. No information has leaked out as to any financial backer the Shu- berts have in their vaudeville proj- ect. From those who are- known to be very close to the Shuberts, even in .confidential matters, It has come the Shuberts alone are financing their vaudeville operations. Thla information is skeptically looked upon by many who discuss it, but they have no bettor advices. Tha financial and operating de- partments of the Shubert vaudeville appear to be altogether distlnot, with the financial operation appar- ently directly under the hands of Lee and J. J.

The Duvis (Keith's) packed 'em Monday and Tuesday, as It has been doing generally for the last eight weeks. A third performance is scheduled for Thanksgiving Day in the shape of a second matinee to start about 4 o'clock. The week will undoubtedly be big, as was lost week. The Shubert report on last woek was in keeping with general attend- ance there for the pa3t few weeks, which showed a tendency to start mildly and to wind up strong, for a general average of about two-thirds on tho week. The current week, favored by the holiday, will likely k better. Washington, Nov. 23. Keith's continues on the even tenor of its way.
