The influence of Ibsen and Biorn-
son upon the Paris stage seems to be
a little more than fiction, after all.
The young authors of France have
taken steps to protect themselves
against this influence by establishing
a new free theatre, the significant
name of which shall be. Theatre des
Latins,'' the Theatre Of the Latins.
The program Of the new institution
is turned squarely against the Job
scure religious-scientifc- philosophical
lectures" which Ibsen and Bjornson
deliver in dramas which are no dram
as, but only equipment. The great
WatchWords of the new theatre shall
be: action, not words; beauty, not
philosophical analysis.
The Arctic expedition which Prof.
Birkeland has planned for the .contin-
uation of his study of northern lights
will cost about $4,000. The commit
tee of ways and means has proposed
an appropriation of only $1,000, rely
ing upon private parties to raise the
balance by subscription. Prof. Birke-
land, who spent two winters in Fin
marken for the purpose Off making
thorough inquiries into the nature of
northern lights, has already establish
ed the fact that northern lights are
due to magnetic forces, and that the
same forces have something to do
with the formation of clouds in the
upper regions Of the air. It is feared
that if the $4,000 still lacking is not
raised the expedition will be crippled
to such an extent as to almost defeat
its object.

INVITATION WITHDRAWN.
President Shuts Senator Ti1lman Out
from Dinner Given to Prince Henry.

Washin gton, Feb. 25.-The president
has withdrawn his invitation extended
to Senator Tillman, of South Carolina,
to attend the dinner given Monday
night in honor of Prince Henry Of
Prussia at the white house. 1t is
stated that this action on the part Of
the president was made necessary
from the fact that owing to occur
rences on the floor of the senate last
Saturday, the senator from South
Carolina was declared in contempt Of
the senate. Senator Martin. of Vir-
ginia, member Of the committee on
naval affairs, accepted an invitation in
Mr.. Tillman's place. The invitation
was extended originally to Mr.. Till
man owing to the fact that lie is the
ranking minority member of the naval
affairs committee.
A Sensational Sequel
There was a sensational sequel to
the decision of the president to elm
mate Senator Tillman from the list
of dinner guests. The president sent
for Senator Cockre1l, of Missouri, and
asked him as friend and democratic
colleague of Senator Tillman to sug-
gest to the latter the propriety of
Withdrawing his acceptance of the
dinner invitation. The president ex-
planned his attitude in the matter and
said that in view of the contempt pro-
eeedings, Mr.. Tillman's presence
would not only be an affront to the
senate, but a discourtesy to Prince
Henry. Senator Cockrell accepted the
commission and later telephoned to
the president that Senator Tillman
absolutely refused to withdraw his
acceptance, in response to the pres
ident's suggestion. The president inn
mediately cancelled the invitation in a
note he dispatched directly to Senator
Tillman shortly before noon Monday.
In this note, which was very brief and
formal, the president stated he re-
GREETED that he was obliged to with
draw the invitation. simultaneously

is II Washington's great Avenue, but it
Is becoming, if it is not already, the
country's great avenue. Automobiles,
electric cars, bicycles, boys on roller
skates; indeed, all the modern vehicles
of locomotion, as well as the older types
of conveyance, carrying the humble and
great from every State in the Nation,
glide rapidly and almost noiselessly over
it's smooth pavement; its spaciousness
permitting more rapid transit than any
other great avenue of the country.
And when we enumerate its historic
spectacles, it easily becomes the great
avenue OF America. For century Penn
sylvania Avenue has been the tramway
of pageantry. Elaborate preparations
have been made for a great parade today
IN honor of the veterans of the civil
war. 1t has recently witnessed great
parade in honor of Prince Henry of Ger
many, in 1860 the Prince OF Wales, in
1924 Lafayette, and in 1851 Kossuth. A
century ago General Washington led

Pennsylvania Avenue Today.

Lincoln, Garfield. and McKinley-siX
Presidents-have been borne with official
dignity, as the last sad tributes OF a
nation were paid them.
The first Presidential funeral process
sion to pass over ii was that of William
Henry Harrison. and, according to the
account in the National intelligence"
of April 3. 1871, must have been as great
a spectacle as any subsequent Presiden-
tial funeral cortege. When the advance
military escort had reached the Con-
gressional Cemetery. where his remains
WERE inferred for nearly a decade. the
last of the procession had not left the
White House. He was the first Presi-
dent to die in Office, and, moreover, his
induction into Office had occurred only
four weeks before, and had been attend
ed with greater display than any pre-
vious inauguration. Thus his death Gre
ated a profound impression throughout
the nation. State Legislatures adjourned
and attended the funeral in body. Mil
itary forces, political clubs, and like or
CARNATIONS came from all over the ma
ton. The railroads quadrupled their
trains and yet they had difficulty in
bringing the crowds into the city. The
funeral services occurred at the White
House and Congressional Cemetery, no
exercises having been held at the Cap
itol, except that minute guns were fired
from the Capitol Grounds as the funeral
pageant passed. The National Intelli-
gencer'' gives this description of the
funeral car as it passed over Pennsyl
vania Avenue:
1T was of large dimensions. in form
an oblong platform, on which was a.
raised dais, the whole covered with

black velvet. From the cornice of the
platform fell black velvet curtain, out
side of the wheels to within a few
inches of the ground. From the cor
ners of the car a black crepe festoon
was formed on all sides, and Topped in
the center by a funeral wreath. On the
coffin lay the Sword of Justice and the
Sword of State, surrounded by scroll
of the Constitution, bound together by
a funeral wreath made of yew and
cypress. The car was drawn by six
white horses having at the head of each
colored groom dressed in white, white
hats, and white sashes, while on either
side were pallbearers In black. one

trast of this body OF black and white.
so opposite to the strong colors of the
military around it, struck the eye even
from great distance
The 'Intelligencer" devoted six col
umns to the funeral pageant

TAYLOR On July 10, 1850, is to consider
able extent repetition Of that of Presi-
dent Harrison, nine years before. The
services we're held in the. East Room of
the White House and temporary inter-
ment made at the Congressional Gene

The first Presidential funeral services
held in the Capitol were those of John
Quincy Adams, who died February 81,
1913. he was. however, then an ex-
President and member of the House of
Representatives. Services over Lincoln,
Garfield. and Mckinley were all held irs
the Capitol, and have been described
many times in recent years. the pageant
passing over the great Avenue. Har-.
rison and Taylor are the only Presidents
who have died in the White House.
Previous to the abolition. in 1877. of
the custom of having official funerals
for deceased members of Congress, Penn
sylvania Avenue witnessed public pa
geant over the remains of every member
of Congress who died in office.
And the funerals of such eminent men
as Clay, Calhoun, and Sumner were at
tended with almost as much display as
a Presidential funeral, except that in
with Calhoun's request, there
was no military display or martial
music at his funeral Instead of having
a public funeral in the Capitol now Con-
gress sends a committee with the de-

ceased members remains to his home,
where the funeral is held, thus avoiding
the interruption of public business in
the halls of Congress, as In former days,
when the body was brought into the Cap
itol, and solemn and elaborate services
there held.
All the Presidents, except Washing
ton and John Adams. in the zenith of
their political triumphs have passed
grandly down the old Avenue to the Cap
itol. greeted by salyos of applause from
the surging lines of humanity that have
viewed the numerous inaugural pa
geants.
Moreover, there were formerly Con-
gressional paraSs to the White House
when Congress in body made reply
to messages. and returned its acknowl-
edgements to the President
Over the historic highway once went
ruthless foe from the Capitol to the
White House. when both those build
ings were burned.
During and at the close of the civil
war the old Avenue often trembled with
the tread of triumphant hundreds of
thousands of the boys in blue, led by
great, military heroes, while admiring
multitudes filled to the point of conges-
ton even the spacious Avenue and it's
adjacent squares.

structfons swept away, than any avenue
that ever signalized the achievements of
civilization.
From an old print hanging on the wall
of the queer little secondhand book
shop near the Peace Monument, one
gets a splendid idea OF the changes
wrought in the Avenue since the days OF
l'Enfant. For years Pennsylvania Ave-
nue. was a WIDE. deep mudhole. Unpre-
tentious structures overlooked it. and
there was little suggestion of future
greatness. Though the mud has given
place to asphalt. all the unpretontious
dwellings have not yet disappeared. In
deed, more ancient rookerics rear their
heads than one might expect 10 see on

were he to fall suddenly down near the
corner of Four-and-a- half and Sixth
Streets.
Pennsylvania Avenue gets its beauty
from its great width. it's roadway, level
as the floor. and it's magnificent per-
spective. Architecture is only now be-
ginning to lend an aid to make it i'm
