CARTER'S COURT=MARTIAL
Judge Advocate Barr Comments on
Civilians Refusing to Testify.
Thinks Other Tribunals May Have
the Power to Compel Witness es to
Answer Questions.

Savannah. Feb. lin the Carter
court martial trial today Col. Barr, the
judge advocate, before calling Jacob
Paulson, president of the Savannah
Rowboat Company to the stand made
an address to the court in which he
referred to published statements that
the court had announced that it had
no power to punish contumacious wit
nesses, Col. Barr saying further that he
was forced to admit that an attor-
ney general had ruled that there is
some deficiency in the legislation that
decides and controls the administration
of justice in matters connected with
the army.
At the same time the judge advocate
said that while this court may not be
empowered to force answers from wit
nesses there are other tribunals that
have the power. and should a commit
tee Of Congress decide to investigate the
refusals of witnesses to answer ques-
tions there is no doubt of its power to
compel answers.

judge advocate as far as they concern

THE ELKS' BENEFIT.
A Toyded House Yesterday After
noon at the Columbia

If variety is really ''tke spice of life, "
the benefit performance given yester-
day afternoon at the Columbia Thea
| ter by Washington Lodge, No. -. b. p.
o. Ells, certainly had fair share of
seasoning. Nearly every theater in the
city was represented on the program.
besides which a number of people came
from Baltimore to assist, and a half
dozen local societies took part AS may
be readily supposed, with such an en-
tertainment to offer and SUCH people to
give it, the Columbia was crowded to
the doors and. as may be as easily un-
derstood. the bill was a very long one.
For nearly five hours the performance
continued, and had there been less va
riety the audience must have been
wearied long before the entertainment
was over, in spite of its excellence.
Williams and Walker. colored come
dians, who were seen here last week
started the ball rolling and set the ap-
plause going with their well-known
turn, and Helene Mora followed with
three songs. Charles Il. Sweet evoked
considerable enthusiasm with his mu-
sical tramp act; McMahone and King
presented a clever black faced turn,
and Sam J. Adams introduced a mono
logue both unique and genuinely fun
ny Miss Hyberta Pryme appeared in
the familiar garb of a Serio-comic and
contributed two songs, while Collins
and Collins brought down the house
with their singing and dancing. Charm
ing Marie Stuart, together with Hines
and Remington, brought to a close the
first portion of the bill.
The second began with a scene from
Caesar n "
keene was the Cassius and Charles B.
Hanford the Brutus. Both gave excel
lent portrayals of two difficult parts
Rose Sutherland. a chic little dancer,
who was seen here last year with "A
Trip to Chinatown" and is at present
member of the company playing "A
Hired Girl" reiterated her ability as a
dancer. Waldo Wkipple told some
rather ancient jokes well, and Fannie
Fields proved her right to the sobri-
quet happy" Willis p. Sweatnam
the old minstrel. and the Althea
Sisters made excellent impressions,
which Thomas ]. Ryan and Mary Rich
field seconded bit later. The Mad
rids. who have earned the right to be
called The Old Madrids" by long and
honorable service, pleased with their
music. The entertainment was brought
to close by a clever presentation OF
IHdflSS HdlInefS adaptd1on OF All
phonse Daudet's story, ISL" In this
Edward j. Walsh, John ]. Nolan, n. T.
Seaman and Alice Irwin appeared TO
advantage.
The one unpleasant feature of the
entire performance was the feeling
aroused by Mile. Held's refusal to ap-
pear after being advertised. Col Ed
Hay commented rather sharply on the
matter, and his remarks were so heart
lily applauded that the state of opinion

KEENE PLAYS SHYLOCK.

Performances

Keene began last night at the Lafayette
Square Opera House, and succeeded in
giving fairly satisfactory performance
of the role of Shylock. IN The Merchant
of Venice" In many ways this was sur
pTiSing, since the crafty Jew gives rise
to as much discussion and prOba bly, TO
more difference in conception than eth
er Hamlet or Othello. For some reason
Mr.. Keene'S art seemed more mellow
| and less melO-dramatic than at any time
during the week, and the result was
portrayal that was not at all discredit-
able. Occasionally the actor gave way
TO the loud style of work that has so
much injured the rest of his parts but
| as general thing. he invested the role
with dignity and repose. His Shylock
was rather younger than he is usually
pictured. more Of a bigOt and less of a
usurer. but there was no fault in this.
and the audience was not slow in testi-
flying its approval of his acting Lucia
Moore was fair as Jessica. but Mary
Timbermann gave Portia a number of
ridiculous affectations Of voice and
| manner that early provoked the mirth
of the gallery and the disproval Of the
remainder Of the house. Her Portia was
extremely matured and different in
every way from the ingenious character
she should have been. George Morton
seemed To be under heavy pressure, as
Antonio. but he evidently had the cor
| rect conception of the part. and his act
ing was intelligent. If not particularly
strong. John Milton was neutral
