Prince otto

Prince otto.
One of the dramatic events of the
season is the coming production of
prince Otto at the Opera House,
Saturday night with Harry Glazier in
the title role. The play is drama
tization by Otis Skinner of Robert
Louis Stevenson's novel of the same
name. The production in every detail
is the same which Mr.. Skinner him
self used in his tour of the country last
year. play scenery and costumes hav-
ing been bought of him for Mr.. Glaz-
ier's use. In making the adaptation
the novel has been followed as closely
as possible. Mr. Skinner has made
prince Otto" true prince of romance,
manly, daring brave and clever, while
Stevenson's prince Otto" was a feath-
er-brained hero without any care be-
yond his love of sports. The role of
the prince is one which is admirably
suited to Mr.. Glaciers personality.
There are few, if amy, actors on the
stage at the present day who are bet
ter fitted for the delineation of romance
than he is His personality is a very
pleasing one; he is magnetic to a de-
gree; of commanding height, perfect
physical proportions. has a mellow,
pleasing voice of considerable depth
and range. and pair of soulful eyes
at once the envy and despair of other
leading men less wonderfully endowed.

MISSOURI FIGHT CONTINUES.
Leaders of the Factions Again n
the White House.

The forces in the fight for the control
of the Republican party in Missouri were
in evidence at the White House again this
morning
The situation is now near decision. It
can be stated that the appointment Of
surveyor of the port Of St. Louis, over
which the fight now hinges, will fall to
neither Mr.. ". G. Boyd nor Mr.. Charles
F. Weneker
The former was some time ago sug-
gested to the President by Representa-
tives Joy and Bartholdt, of the Hitchcock
faction. Mr. Weneker was only few days
ago brought forward as a compromise
candidate. AS such he evidently does not
suit Representatives Joy and BarthoIdt.
They insist that they do not want to
compromise They are loud in calls for d
definite decision.
Colonel KeTens had long talk on the
situation with the President today. Mr.
Thomas J. Atkins. State Republican Chair
man, who IS Mr.. Kerens bitter political
enemy. also saw Mr. Roosevelt, as did
Representatives Joy and Bartholdt, the
latter Of whom is an old friend of the
President and whose voice is supposed
TO be potent at the White House
The latter declared that they called
only to recommend for appointment to the
Supreme Court bench in Arizona the name
of Mr.. ". F. McIntire, formerly of st.
Louis.

MR.. BACON OPPOSES
THE CANAL TREATY.
SENATOR OFFERS AMENDMENT.
The Georgian Speaks for over an
Hour in Executive Session
Against Hny-Paunce-
fOte Convention.

Senator Bacon Of Georgia occupied over
an hour in the early part of the execu-
tive session OF the Senate this afternoon
with speech opposing the ratification
of the new Hay -Pauncefote treaty
He declared that there was no need for
any treaty between this country and
Great Britain on the subject Of the 18th
mian Canal, and said that. despite his
own strong personal desire for the early
construction Of the canal, he would not
support the treaty unless it was amended
so as to give the United States the right
to take any measures it might see fit to
defend it from attack.
He offered an amendment 20 that ef-
feet similar in terms to that which was
inserted in the original Hay-Pauncefote
Treaty by the late Senator Davis
Senator Culberson Of Texas also made
| a few remarks on the subject.

manded Warden Hagan of the TOmbs

10 speedy trial, Patrick had been kept

ton, OF the Tombs prison Just as he led

TRIAL OF CONTEMPT CASES.
Representative Bartlett Offers n Bill
On ti,e Subject

Representative Bartlett Offers n Bill
On the Subject.
Representative Bartlett Of Georgia has
introduced bill 10 regulate the trial OF
cases of contempt Of court. It divides
contempts of court into two classes, df-
rect and Indirect For contempt of the
latter class all persons thus charged have
the right Of a trieI by jury, which, under
existing law, is denied, while for direct
contempt the court may punish the Of
fender summariIy without written ac-
cusation.
The purpose of my BILL said Mr.
Bartlett. is to check as far as possible
government by injunction. It is the fashion
nowadays for corporations and combina-
tions, when they have trouble with their
employees TO rush into the courts and OBJ
tain sweeping injunctions and then. if any
of the employees violate the spirit OF the
injunction, they are hauled into court
and punished for contempt.
1t is neither fair nor just to charge
man with contempt of court for an act
committed outside of the court For con-
tempt OF this character the party or
parties should have the right Of trial by
jury"

have endorsed Judge BaTtlett'S bill

in Washington for higher education.
He has informed a number of them Of
the proposition made by Mr.. Carnegie and
has gained a sufficient idea of the trend
of the Congressional mind upon which to
base a message to Congress.
There are certain points which at pres
ent prove a little difficult to handle. One
involves the relation of the Government
to a privately endowed institution
Representative Cannon called at the
White House today but departed, bourd
in the secrecy which appears to surround
those who are consulted in regard to the
