This is the first mystery play to then experience in working with it, they are enthusiastic about from the acting point of view of entertainment for the audience.
Play Is a Tricky One
According to Professor Crafton, the play has proved a very tricky one. "Whores in an ordinary play a mistake may be covered up in this play a mistake may give rise to a dramatic, would be disastrous. The actors have to work harder and be more alert than in any play so far presented by the Players."

Doheny and Fall have been ordered to trial Nov. 22. The arrangement is only a formality. Both Fall and Doheny expect to be acquitted, although it remains unclear. They will appeal to the highest courts if they lose, it is understood.
The proceeding tomorrow may not take more than a two minutes, alternate with the judge, and fill before the judge asks the two men how they wish to plead, it may take half an hour or an hour. Associate Justice Adolph Hoelling will hear the plea.

Storms of Doubt and Condemnation Greet President
Republican Senators and Noted Business Men Object to Tax Proposal
Washington, Nov. 0—President Coolide's proposal for a rebate on income and corporation taxes to absorb the estimated treasury surplus of $250,000,000 this year, drew opinions ranging from doubt to condemnation from Republican leaders in Congress, including Chairman Smoot of the House, Senator Cozumel, Republican, Michigan, businesseader, Senator Norris, Republican, Nebraska, and Senator Borah, Republican, Idaho.
Smooth questioned the wisdom of putting the surplus into tax reduction instead of retiring the public debt and particularly in using receipts from taxes paid by a firm to file tax returns. The firm is usually informal or corporate income returns.
Couzens, once head of the Ford Motor company, declared the project was "unbusinesslike" and that no business man would think of using a surplus to lower the revenues when there is such an outstanding debt.
Norris and Boran took the same view. Norris contended that tax reduction is being talked at this time to fool the people. He said both Republican and Democratic sponsors of tax reduction were playing politics.
tax reduction were playing polities.
Their predictions forecast trouble for the plan when it comes before congress in December, even with the Justice Department, and the Secretary of the Treasury Mall. The secretary said that "the president has been misunderstood," he also declared that the reduction of the 12% would not be influenced by taxes paid this year, beginning March 15. Mr. Coolidge had said that the reduction might take the form of a rebate on taxes being paid this year. Chairman Green of the House Ways and Means Committee is expected today to arrange for a meeting of the committee Tuesday to straighten out some of the issues the tax reform is hoping to address here.

Men's Rifle Team to Fire
Selection of Squad Will Depend on New Records
All men who have fired record shots in the prone, sitting, kneeling and standing positions during the last week in October must fire the same again this month before final selection will be made for the men's rifle队, according to an announcement made at the rifle range by Sgt. H. V. Hau.
"Some of the men who complete their firing record during the last week in October made a much better score during instructive firing. I believe that some of the men were slightly unmerged due to the fact that it was a recorded fire and no other chance, said Sergent Huber.
All men concerned in this record firing must arrange to fire during the hours when the women's team is not using the targets. This arrangement can be made with the clerk at the station to see who is bringing Seantar Guber Hater at the range.
At the present time there are 75 women competing for places on the women's rifle team. The first elimination will be made about the last of November. It is impossible for any woman to fire more than once a week due to the fact that she must wait for placement on the men's team fire 20 record shots during the month of November, according to Sergent Huber.
Guy W. Wheeler, secretary of the bureau of extension classes of the extension division, will go to Kansas City Wednesday to complete the organization of classes which are being members of the University faculty.
There will be a special meeting of Women's Pan-Hellenic at 4 p.m. m. Wednesday at the Chi Omega house. Signed, Jo Lapham.
