ed in the strike OF the motormen and con-
ductors was evidenced In an Interview
granted by him W a representative OF the
Providence News this morning.

vices and 20 use my good offices I'm any
way 10 bring about n settlement In this
unfortunate state OF affairs.
The first disregard for law, I'm this
case. was when the United Traction COM

not consider the ten-hour law, az passed
at the last session OF the general as
sembly constitutional. and that they did
not intend TO accept Its provisions.

The positions re- hiring administrative ability or super sorry capacity should, as a rule, be filled promotion or transfer, and, as a mat a' of fact, the positions of a confidential ature, or those which are of fiduciary haracter, could also be better filled in 1ost cases by the transfer or promotion qualified persons already in the ser ice.

"Don Caesars Return"

The strongest piece of work ever done
in this city by repertoire company was
the presentation of the famous romantic
drama, Don Caesars Return" by Dan
iel r. Ryan and his company, last even
ing. The Opera house was filled, floor ans
gallery, and there is little doubt that
equally large crowds will greet the COM
pany every evening, this week The spec
ial stage settings of the six scenes were
all elaborate and the costumes equally
rich and elegant No repertoire company
seen here has equalled them.
The play itself, dealing with the court
life of Charles II of Spain, is well known
and the leading part of Don Caesar de
Bazan gives Mr.. Ryan a most congenial
role. His pleasing personality and easy
presence won the audience from the start
and in not one Of the many difficult situd-
tions did he fail to show his mastery Of
the part. While his voice is not powerful
it has splendid carrying power and is fine
ly moduated His support did not show
weak place for the evening. The COM
pany is a large one and well balanced.
After Mr. Ryan. perhaps Mr.. Brown as
Don Jose. and Miss Boyer as Martina,
carried off the honors, though the less
prominent roles were all most acceptabiy
filed. AS for the specialties. the NOV
ing pictures were new and good lda
May, the child dancer and singer, captur-
ed the crowd, and the illustrated songs
BY PHYLLIS Gilmore were worthy the en-
thusiastic applause they received To-
night, 20 Brien the Contractor" will be
presented. Matinees will be given only
Wednesday and Saturday.
