THEATRE AS 1T IS"
Hearne Tells Some Plain Truths in
a Church at Chicago.

Chicago, May Thames A. Hearne,
actor and playwright, now prominent
in the comedy drama, shore Acres. -
spoke at ST. Pauls Universalist church
ON The Theater AS 1t Is
Many of the big congregation
seemed 10 want to applaud his utter
ances when he said:
There would be no vicious art if
there were no patrons of vicious art:
there would be no vicious literature if
there We're no patrons of vicious au-
diences"
The service lost none of its usual le-
ligious aspect aside from the address
of the eminent actor. In the audIe nee
were many stage people. In the course
'of his remarks Mr. Hearne said:
The most sublime play / e-er saw
in my life vas The Passion as pre-
sented some dozen or is years ago at
the Grand Opera House in the city Of
San Francisco, upon which OCCASION
James O'Neill represented our Savior
If ever a man was exalted by his work
that actor vas exalted by coming so
closely in spiritual touch with Jesus
Christ. / have never seen or read any
where anything which so ennobled and

that play and that actors work. 1t

awe-inspiring; it was sublilnitv itself,

of the beautiful spirit of the carpajfer

called it biasphemy ana demanded that

SHORT RATION SCHEME.
Soldiers Who Will Be Able to Tell
How It Feels to Starve.

Washington, May 17.-Troop OF
the First United States cavalry has
( been marching through the Wichita
mountains for a week 10 see whether
soldiers can live on 80 ounces of food
a day Last December the war de-
partment adopted an emergency ration
that is. ration to be used only in
case of shortage of food or on forced
quick marches. when every possible
hindrance is left behind.
This ration was adopted by a board
of officers 1t consists of bacon, 10
ounces; hard bread, 16 ounces: pea
meal. 4 ounces, Cor an equivalent in APP
propriate material for making soup ::
coffee, roasted and ground. 2 ounces.
or tea, one-half ounce: Saccharine, 4
grains: salt, siXty-four hundredths of
an ounce; pepper. four-tenths of an
ounce; tobacco, One-half ounce.
In order to test this allowance Cap
tain w. c. Brown, who was a mem Der
of the ration board, marched his
troop of cavalry out of Fort Sill, 1. T.,
a week ago with nothing to eat but
the emergency ration for ten days.
The orders were to march due west
from Fort Sill with his hungry troop
ers tomorrow or the day after.
Major Charles Smart, a surgeon who
went from Washington to accompany
the troop, will then report to the sec
rotary of war how the men stood the
scanty allowance.
The question of using tobacco was
considered for some time. 1t is true
that tobacco is not food, but it is used
SO generally by soldiers that they
would rather be deprived of food than
lose it. Moreover, those habituated to
it suffer acutely without it.
While soldiers who use tobacco
usually endeavor to provide them
selves with it on forced marches, they
might sometimes be without it, there
fore it was put in the rations.
This emergency ration. it is believed,
gives close upon the quantity of food
needed to repair muscular wastes
Even if put upon half this ration,
which is only allowed in cases of over
ruling necessity, and then. for no long
er than ten days, the men would still
have full subsistence diet and could
keep soul and body together. They
may suffer a little loss in weight, but
in sound men this waste would he re-
placed by a few days of rest and full

with using his office in the interests
of certain ice dealers.
MR.. JAMES VIEWS.


Mr.. James, who was present. opened
his statement by declaring there was
something underneath the whole ice
question that should be thoroughly in
VeStlgated. He said the situation was
that the big ice companies were trying
10 crush the small dealers So far as
Hills ice was concerned, he said. there
was no doubt but that it would have
been on the market if sCme other
concern had owned it.
Mr.. James then related a conversa-
tlon with an ice dealer. whose name
ne would not give until the proper time,
VINO sought to enlist him (James) in
the night against Hills and Jensen.
This ice dealer declared that they de-
sired 10 shut out the Mill Greek ice so
that the price could be kept up. and
animated that the sanitary inspector
was all right on the proposition. The
dealer asked James to labor with the
council members from his precinct TO
work against Hills.
Mr.. James then related how he con-
tracted for ice in Ogden to be placed
upon the market here, and how Jake
Greenewald refused for a time to go
up and make an inspection.
JAKE HAS ANOTHER INNING.
Then came Jake's turn He very ex-
citedly declared that when he went up
10 ogden James only paid the fare.
He did not even give me two-bits for
meal, said Jake. Il tell you now.
gentlemen. as plain Jake Greenewald
would not give that man a permit
under any circumstances. but as San
itary Inspector Greenewald 1 was com
PEELED to-
Mr.. James then said he had proofs
TO show that Greenewald had worked
against him from beginning to end.
II anybody said that 1 said So re-
piled Jake, ''he is a id liar. and 1
can lick him; 1 don't care who he isl"
You couldn't lick nothing" replied
James.
I would soon demonstrate it to
you, was Jake's emphatic reply.
You can have the chance when
ever you want it," came the reply.
Gentlemen, this must STOP" said
Mulvey, pounding on the table.
This ended the session. Mr.. James
departed, vowing he would produce
some damaging evidence against the
sanitary inspector before the investi-
eating committee. while Jake was
equally confident that he could dis
prove them.

JAKE REFUTES.

Hills persisted in roasting Sanitary
Inspector Greenewald. whom ne de-
cIared unfit for his position. Mr..
Greenewald was as a result kept very
busy controverting MIR. Hills with doc
umentary proofs.
When Mr. Jensen aired his grievance
Jake asked him if it was not a fact
that he (Jensen) used manure for
packing his ice. Did 1 not point it
out to you?'' he asked.
Il have been a farmer for a great
many years and I think l know the
difference between sawdust and ma
nure much better than Mr.. Greene
wald," came. the reply
In the discussion that followed it
was brought out that Mr.. Hills is dis
posing of his ice in spite of the fact
that it has been condemned. He does
not sell it in the city. he says, but peo-
pie come out and buy it and then hire
him (Hills) to deliver it. In this man
ner, he said, he sold about 80 tons to
the Utah Slaughtering company.
At this point Hills and Jensen were
dismissed and DR.. Daily made state
ment 10 the effect that complaints have
come to him, principally from Mr.
