“The Timid Mr. Tootles,” two-part
Vitagraph comedy featuring Sidney

Life’s road is always rough and full
of bumps for a timid man. Mr. Tootles
finds it so, for at the office his fel-
low-clerks make him the butt of all
their jokes and his embarrassment in
the presence of a lady is simply pain-
ful. But the worm turns when the
hand of romance touches modest
Tootles, and after an exhilarating ad-
venture, in which a beautiful lady and
a handsome limousine are involved, he

office. Tootles carries out a clever de-
ception, but when the “lady friend’s”

Galveston, April 1.—Very little but
routine business occupied attention
of the board of county commissioners
at the regular Monday morning ses-
sion. A communication from the
Women’s Health Protective Associa-
tion asked that an officer be stationed
on the causeway and that through this
method many undesirables could be
prevented from entering Galveston.
The master was referred to the char-
ities committee for investigation and
report.
A committee from the League City
independent school district reported
that there was a heavy delinquent tax
list in that district and asked that
these taxes be collected. The matter
was referred to the county attorney
and tax collection for action.
Vouchers for clerical salaries for
the assessor’s office were approved
for $350 and for brick for seawall
work for $250.
Representatives of Hansons & Sons
asked for four months extension of
time for completing the grading and
shelling of the League City-Friends-
wood road. Continued wet weather
was given as the cause for asking this
additional time. C. H. McMaster ob-
jected to granting this length of time,
saying he had recently gone over the
roads and that they were dry enough
now for the shell. The board granted
the time asked.
Annual report of the Galveston
Electric Company for the year ending
December 31, 1914, was received ana
filed.
One bid was received for windows,
doors, and wainscoting in three rooms
of the second floor of the jail annex,
this bid being from William Lucas &
Bro. for $397. It was referred to the
building committee, the county engi-
neer and the county auditor for action.
Tax exemptions on property used for
religious purposes was granted on
recommendation of the tax collector.
One error in assessment was also cor-
rected.
Bids for furnishing clothing for in-
mates of the county jail were receiv-
ed from A. L. Pierson, the Bon
Marche, Garbade-Eiband & Company,
Fellman Dry Goods company and Ben
Bonart. They were referred to the
committee for tabulation and report.
County Judge Mann and Commis-
sioner Boddeker were instructed to
take up with Governor Ferguson at
once the matter of disposition of
lunatics confined in the county jail. It
was reported that one inmate had
been in the local jail since October,
1913, while others had been confined
there for more than a year.

The detectives try to pounce on him
for offences on which he may be con-
victed, but he adroitly proves an alibi
every time. Jimmy enjoys a reputa-
tion of being the most expert safe
opener known. The touch of his deli-
cate, sensitive finger tips is irresis-
tible. One day a little girl, sister of
Rose Lane, his fiancee, is accidentally
locked in the bank safe. Nobody is at
hand who knows the combination that
Chubbuck is assisting the strikers.
When the money collected was count-
ed by the mayor and representatives
of the press it was found the amount
totaled $387.07. The mayor added
enough to make it an ever $400. Rous-
ing meetings are being held and union-
ists are molding a friendly sentiment
toward their movement. The rubber
mills’ management is surprised at the
resistance offered. One officer stated
he would give the strikers one week to
return to work, as they would receive
no assistance from the American Fed-
eration of Labor.
girl. They find a jitney automobile,
and after dropping a nickel in the slot
are off, the count, the cruel parent and
several policemen in pursuit in
another machine. There is a wild race
across all kinds of roads, through
woods and across small creeks, in
which the autos run both bacwards
and forwards, colliding many times.
Chaplin loads his auto with bricks
and when the pursuers are too close
bombards them. He knocks the police-
men out into a mud puddle.
Finally there is a terrible collision
and the pursuers’ machine is knocked
across a dock and plunges several feet
into a river, submerging the count and
irate father.
Simpson will take on Guy Tobel, a
husky soldier of the 23 infantry, Texas
City, in the feature event of ter
rounds; and Cordova will meet Joe
Bernstein of the 22d infantry, Doug-
las, Arizona, in the semi-final of six
rounds.
Simpson’s opponent is rated very
high in the army as a boxer, but he
will have to display unusual ability
with the gloves if he expects to emerge
from this fray with the army champ-
ionship and a whole skin, for Johnny
is conceded to be far the superior of
any man of his class in either the
army or navy.
It was originally intended to match
Eddie Burns, the local welterweight,
against Simpson, but a recent ruling
of the military authorities confining
participation in the boxing carnivals
at the fort solely to men serving in
the army or navy made the match im-
possible, for while Burns is an ex-navy
man, the fact that he is not now
actually in the service bars him from
meeting Simpson.
Simpson is very popular with sol-
diers and civilians alike, for in addi-
tion to his great ability as a boxer, the
army champion is one of the most
likable of men. Modest and unassum-
ing at all times, there is little to sug-
guest the popular impression of a
“pug” about Simpson. Johnny, when
not beating men in the ring, is en-
gaged in beating the bass drum in the
7th infantry band, and he devotes all
his attention outside of the ring to his
bass drum, his wife and his baby boy.
He stoutly avers that some day Simp-
son Junior will wear the title of
welterweight champion of the world.
Good judges of boxers who have
seen Simpson in action say that he is
the most remarkable man in the game
today, for Johnny is long past the age
that is popularly supposed to end a
man’s fighting carreer, but he
keeps meeting and beating men at- an
age when most boxers go into retire-
ment, he explains in a very few words
—total abstinence and clean living.
As a fitting climax to a long and
honorable career as a good soldier and
a first class fighting man, the soldiers

Madly infatuated with the wife of

ready to go to almost any lengths to
win her for his own. Through his
knowledge of incriminating circum-

“A Jitney Elopement,” two-part
Essanay comedy with Charles Chap-

Count de Ha Ha aspires to the hand
of an heiress and $1,000,000.00. The
father of the beauteous lady pays over
the million and tries to deliver the
daughter. She, however, has a mind
of her own. She drops a note from
her balcony, begging to be saved from
the cruel fate. Charles Chaplin picks
up the note and at once enters the
house and announces he is the Count
de Ha Ha. He gets a royal welcome.
While dining at the house, however,
the real count appears. His former
negotiations had been carried on by
correspondence, but he proves to the
satisfaction of the millionaire that he
is IT.
In the ensuing battle Chaplin kicks

This story concerns William Horner,
the trusted engineer at his cousin’s
aeroplane factory, who is too weak to
withstand the insidious monetary
bribes, offered by the mysterous
“General C,” who is the chief agent of
the enemy’s Secret Service Bureau.
We also make the acquaintance of
Miss Gertrude Martin, proprietor of
the Martin Auto & Aeroplane Co.,
whose Government has ordered from
her a new high-powered aeroplane of
the exclusive design of the Martin
Co.’s aeroplane expert, Government-
Aviator Stewart
Briefly told, the story is as follows:
The opening scenes show us Miss Mar-
tin consulting her expert, Stewart,
and superintending with him the con-
struction of the new aeroplane, the
plans of which would be worth untold
gold to an enemy’s War Department.
Horner, an unsuccessful aviator, en-
deavors to obtain possession of these
precious plans, and no expedient is too
low for him to stoop to. We next see
Stewart in an experimental flight, and
here is demonstrated the tremendous
utility of the aeroplane in modern
warfare. Spread out below us, as on
a bas-relief map, is a birds-eye view
of the landscape, which 'enables us to
see how a military aviator in wartime
can detect every move of the enemy’s
forces.
“General C” offers Stewart the
enormous bribe of $275,000.00 for his
plans and one completed machine, but
Stewart tells Miss Martin that “All
the money in Europe could not buy
me.” Some few days after this Stew-
art receives his first government com-
mission and we are treated to the
magnificant spectacle of an actual
reconnoitering of the enemy’s forts,
harbors, battleships, etc., concluding
with a hazardous spiral descent, or
“corkscrew volplane,” as Stewart re-
turns to earth to advise his military
chiefs as to the exact location of the
enemy’s ships and armaments.
The bribing of Stewart having fail-
ed, Horner now decides to steal the
plans forthwith. By a great stroke of
luck he discovers Stewart’s portfolio
left in Miss Martin’s automobile, and
he sets off in high glee, telegraphing
“General C” to meet him at the inter-
national boundary depot to receive
the invaluable documents. But the
robbery is quickly discovered, and
Stewart, rather than have Horner ar-
rested and so cause a grave scandal in-
volving Miss Martin and her firm’s
good name, sets off on his new aero-
plane to race the express train which
is rapidly bearing Horner towards the
enemy’s country. A series of hair-
breadth 'adventures ensues. Stewart
lands from his airship on to the roof
of a swiftly moving railroad car, at
risk of his life he uncouples the car in
which Horner is anxiously inquiring
the cause of the stoppage of the train.
Stewart quietly regains possession of
his plans, runs to his waiting aero-
plane, and brings back the precious
papers to the • hands of his beloved
Gertrude.
The respective rewards of valor and
villainy are duly meted out to Stewart
and Horner. The latter realizes that a
traitor can have but one fitting end
an ignominious death; while Stewart
receives the hand of the girl he loves,
both of them happy, in the knowledge
that she has been saved from disgrace
and their country freed from the evil
machinations of the enemy.

“The Governor’s Lady”
At the opening of the story Daniel
Slade is working in a mine and,
though not positiveyl in need, he and
his wife live in comparative poverty.
Slade is a man filled with ambition,
but his wife is contented and absorbed
in her love for her husband. By a for-
tunate accident he discovers a gold
mine and, with his newly acquired
wealth, immediately sets out to make
a position of influence for himself in
the world. His aggressive personality
and ability at once attract attention,
these qualities being combined with
wealth, and the possibilities of a poli-
tical career are pointed out to him b)
Senator Strickland.
Slade has no sooner established
himself in his new surroundings than
he comes to feel that his wife does not
know how to take advantage of their
altered circumstances. She is still the
same simple, home-loving person. In
the course of time he becomes attract-
ed to the Senator’s daughter, who, like
himself, is of ambitious temperament.
In fact, though she does not love him,
she agrees to marry him if he obtains
a divorce from his wife.
The concluding episodes of the story
show how the wife rescues her hus-
band from his unpardonable folly, and
how, much hastened, he finally per-
suades her to come back to him. He
has now become the chief executive of
the state and Mary at last takes her
place as the Governor’s Lady.
Galveston, March 25.—I wish to
take this . method of thanking the
Labor Dispatch for the $150 diamond
ring which I won in the recent contest,
and at the same time thank my many
friends for aiding me to win this
beautiful prize.
