Actors Asking Protection.

WASHINGTON, Dec. ia committee con.
sisting of Louis Aldrich, Harley Merry and
Louis NJ Sanger, representing the Actors
Order of Friendship, appeared before the
Ford immigration committee yesterday to
urge an amendment to the law which per-
mits the Importation of actors and musicians
into this country. They ask protection
against the large number of actors that are
brought from abroad This imported labor,
they say, seriously affects the profession in
this country, tends to lower salaries and de-
prives American actors of employment SThe
average salaries paid minor actors are stated
at $40 per week. The actors want foreign
minor actors who come into this country
under contract and work for SIC per week,
excluded under the contract labor law, the
same as artisans, mechanics and other con.
tract labor. They are now excepted from
the operations of the contract labor law.
The committee prorlised to consider the
subject and see whether it was necessary to
amend the law in order to remedy the de.
fects Of which the committee Of actors com
plained

Two Senator'S Opinions.

WASHINGTON, Dec. I5.-Senator FRYE. a
member OF the committee on foreign rela
tlons, was shown copy of Mr. Butterworths
resolution by representative of the United
Press. After looking it over Mr. Frye said !:
In my opinion commercial union is a com.
mercial absurdity. This scheme is not prac
ticable, because il there is to be annexation
the suggestion and the first move must not
come from us. If the Canadian provinces
are ever annexed, it will be because they de-
sire to be annexed"
Senator Cullom said: 81 am in favor of
the annexation of all or any part of Canada
of course these things cannot be done in a
week."

stated that the petitions for the passage of
the bill represented nearly fifty-four million

When the convention met Thursday even
ing Professor Herrick Johnson, D. D., of Chi

day newspaper. He SAID:
"The Sunday newspaper is the daily news
paper carried into Sunday, enlarged but not
glorified or sanctied. 1t is great mosaic,
containing all sorts of material about the
world, the flesh and the devil, and very
often great deal that is pernicious, vicious
and unclean. 1t is pleaded that necessity
Exists for the Sunday paper. That is absurd
The newspaper is here for money that is in
t. 1t is keeping large numbers OF newspaper
"orkmen from tie enjoyment of day to
which they are entitled.
The Sunday newspaper is thrust upon
the people upon the street on Sunday. WY
Is it that it is allowed to be thus sold on the
street, while the ordinary peiiler is required
to keep the Sabbath day ~ stopping his
business! 1t is necessary 20 seek Sunday
il persons sire them, not so
with the Sunday wspaper--Chat is thrust
into the nome. 1t keeps the people from
& going to church and makes it harder for
those who do attend to do SO regularly. 1t
has invaded the quiet of the country to the
aetriment Of the Sabbath. The boys who
sell the papers are encouraged to trample
upon the Sabbath, and its tendency is to
deaden the sensibilitieS of the people of

EDWARD L. uARPIsR I'm says that feT
days after mis- arrlvAl Harper said to hin
that the disgrace of his imprisonment would
drive him mad, but until recently he has
never indicated the slightest tendency of in
sanity,
1t is thought that the late visit of District
Attorney Burnet had depre ,siny effect
upon him, rs he has since been gloomy and
Inorose.
Thursday moraing the evidences of his
insanity were SO that it was thought wise to
remove Linn TO the prison asylum. This,
however, was accomplished with the greatest
difficulty, as he protested that he was not
crazy and would not move until God com
manded him TO. Mrs. Harper was at once
telegraphed for and arrived Thursday night.
She was Immediately permitted to go to her
husband. Harper talked to her for some
time in the same incoherent way that he did
to others. Mrs Harper was given room in
the residence of Warden Coffin, where she
will remain for the present.
Harper is constantly talking about Hop
kins and Burnet, saying that the former is
dead and in the seventh heaven, while Bur.
net is dead and in hell. He also insists that
President Cleveland has pardoned him, and
dropped dead instantly after signing the
precious document.
When Hopkins was told Of Harper's condi-
tion he wept silently for a moment, and said
retribution was sure to come to the man who
had prosecuted him "But," he finally re-
marked, II am sorry for him, and am
sorry for Mrs. Harper"
Criminal Baiff Joe Moses saw Harper
Thursday afternoon. He was lying in bed.
eating his dinner. He said to Warden |
Coffin:
'Mr. Cleveland pardoned me at 1924 to. |
day You've got that pardon in your
pocket, DIR. Coffin, and WON'T let me |
have it,"
Warden Coffin said he had no pardon for
him, and Harper replied
"Yes, you have. You've got a dispatch
in your pocket"
He then wrote the form of dispatch as
follows:
"E. L. Harper: have pardoned you to.
day. GROVER CIEvEIENDp
The signature resembled the presidents
Harper insisted, in rambling talk that
he was the agent of God and acted under
Lhe directions OF the Almighty His face is
Jlanched and his eyes have a CLASSY stare
Mr.. Moses says there is no shamming.
An officer visited Harper's cell Thursday
morning to see why he had not arisen at the
lsual hour. The prisoner talked in wild
tain. 1t was only after long and labor.
Gus effort that Harper was removed to the
insane department. He persisted in saying
hat he was not insane
1t has not yet been ascertained whether
he offiction is of temporary or permanent
haracter. DR.. Martin, prison physician,
ays Harper is re!igio maniac, and may re-
over. DIR. Ciemner says the mania has
ot taken dangerous form yet, bat tnat he
