"A Modern Eve," presented at the Academy of Music yesterday mat inee and night and whether it was the fact that a play of the kind had not been here for quite a while or whether it was the intrinsic merit of the production the audience got a great deal of enjoyment out of it. It was one continuous ripple of laughter from the time Edward Hume, as Casimir Cascadier, the suffragette pestered husband appeared on the stage until the last curtain. He was instantly recognized as the unique comedian who appeared here last sea son and made a hit as the chimney sweep in "The Heartbreakers." As the hen-pecked husband he was very, very tunny, the role httmg nim like a glove. He was the outstanding figure in the cast, Harry Dickson as suitor to one of Mme. Cascadier's daughters of very modern ideas and Lawrence Ackerlind as suitor for her sister were also very good, while Miss Henrietta Tedro as Madame Cascadier, the wo man who dominated everybody in the household, was splendid. The production is full of good songs, particularly "Goodbye, Everybody, "Hello Sweetheart." 'and "Rita, My Marguerita." The audience came out whistling and humming "Goodbye, Everybody," as if they had heard it before often. Several of the numbers have an old-fashioned something about them that is sure to leave the public where the show has appeared hum ming them familiarly in a short while. MANY ATTEND THE YATES PHARMACY OPENING SATURDAY The formal opening of the Yates Pharmacv at 200 East Morehead street yesterday was a decided success in every way, and the attractive new store of this concern was well crowd ed throughout the day despite trie in clement weather which prevailed. A large number of young people, young women, man and matrons, were callers at the opening day and each received at attractive souvenir and a drink at the handsome soda fountain which the Yates' Pharmacy has installed. he opening day for the promoters of this new enterprise was in all ways encouraging and the owners of the new store were highly pleased last night with the encouraging showing which had been made on the initial day of their business in Charlotte. Mr. A. M. Yates is manager of the business of the pharmacy while Mr. C. L. Yates, an. experienced pharma cist, will he in charge of the pre scription work of the new store. The pharmacy is one of the best equipped of the smallest drug stores in the city. STAT EM EMT M AD E BY MR. RLL1SDN The most startling announcement! with reference to the present dead-j lock between the executive board and the board of aldermn regarding the purchase of a new auto pump fire ap paratus, is that by Mr. T. T. Alli son in a formal declaration made last night in which Mr. Allison says that the car which the aldermen have or dered purchased at not exceeding $9, 000 for the fire department, was re cently bought by. a western city for a price considerably below that at which it is generally understood the city of Charlotte proposes to pay for the same car through the board of alder men. Mr. Allison's Statement. ' Even though you may be thorough ly convinced that a certain car is the best to buy. it is the duty of city officials to resort to competition; for it is a positive fact that cars are sold for less money when -in competition with others than when there is no competition. As proof of this I beg to submit to the. public the following evidence: "In the Municipal Journal of Septem ber 11th, 1913. there appears the tol lowing item under the head of "Con tracts Awarded.': " 'Mankato. Minn. To American-La-France Fire Engine Company contract for motor triple combination wagon at $7,950." "A telegram sent to a city official of Mankato, Minn., yesterday brings the. information that the car purchas ed was a type twelve, 700 gallon per minute, six cylinder, American-La-France car. t - "This is the same type car that such strenuous ertort is now being made to sell to this city at $9,000 less 2 per cent for cash. "I respectfully submit: Is the finan cial condition of this city such that it should not have the benefit of the same price paid by the Minnesota city? In what other way can such a price be secured except by open com petition? "The original proof of the above statement of facts can be seen by any one by applying to the proper city officials." SPOR TS DELIGHTFUL PARTY FROM CONCORD. Concord was delightfully represent ed in this city yesterday. A party of prominent society women from that j city here were: iurs. ltobt. S. loung, Mrs. R. A.

The district attorney was in conference with Alexander H. Bacon, counsel for the former executive this afternoon. United States Senator O'Gorman is scheduled to take the stand in the John Doe hearings on the graft next Tuesday and it is toward his appear ance that politicians are looking. "If he backe Sulzer, the chief's a goner," was the remark heard more than once today even among Tammany braves. The Tammany followers looked upon the first Sulzer ctoarges as se rious only in the effect they would have on the election which was then pending and which resulted in the election of Mitchell as mayor. Wicn a man of the standing of O'Gorman corrohoratine- statements made by Sulzer," however, the very foundation of Murphy's support in Tammany Hall is threatened. Sulzer's attorney has confered with Whitman and it is understood he will corroborate Sulzer's testimony, practically in all respects as it re lated to him. The bank accounts of Murphy and Gaffney for the past five years are be ing examined by Whitman. As far as Ihev have cone, it is declared, Wbif- inan has discovered that Gaffney de posited usually m big bills, between 3:75.000 and $100,000 annually in local banks. He frequently made deposits of from $5,000 to $10,000, it is said Gaffnev made deposits regularly fol lowing the awards of big contracts in the highway and canal departments, it is further declared, and one in stance is said to have been discov ered showing a deposit of $5,000. In March, 1909, this being the aace on which Patterson Bros., Pittsburg contractors, are said to have paid $41,000 for the award of a contract by the board of water supply. Sulzer testified this week that O'Gorman said to him: "Don't you know that James K Gaffney is Murphy's bagman?" Then he said an attempt had been made to "shake down" his client (James Stewart, contractor) for $150,000; that he read the "riot act" to Murphy for this, and said it would be a "disgrace to appoint Gaffney highway commissioner."
