MARTIN HARVEY TONIGHT.
Rarely, if ever. has a young actor
attended Martin Harvey's performance
both in England and in this country.
The unanimity of praise accorded his
dramatic portrayals by both public
and press has been striking in the ex-
IRENE, and in the four years of his star
dow his career has been unparalleled by
any English speaking actor.
The Only Way" the vehicle in which
Mr.. Harvey rose to fame in a night on
the occasion of it's first presentation at
the Lyceum theater in 1899 will be en-
acted at the Hyperion theater tonight
by practically the same company that
took part in its premiers and with the
same accessories that were used during
the three years Of it's run in England
and it's recent extended stay at the
Herald Square theater, New York.
In selecting the Rev. Mr.. Freeman
Wills dramatization of Charles Dick
ems masterpiece "A Tale of Two
Cities" as the exclusive production that
Mr.. Harvey is to make during the pro-
gress of his limited American tour
Klaw & Frlanger, his managers, were
actuated by the thought of the I'M
qualified triumph he had achieved in
the role of Sydney Carton. In fact. so
great was the demand of the public to
see him in this immortal character that
the management concluded it would be
the part of wisdom to abandon the bal
ance of the stars repertoire and permit
him to devote his talents exclusively to
the portrayal of the prohigate who fin
ally expiates all his past sins and rises
to the greater heights by his act of
self-sacrifice on the guillotine. 1t would
be indeed superfluous to recite in detail
the story OF "A Tale Of Two Cities"
Suffice to say that the drama follows
the lines of the novel closely; lovers Of
the English master are afforded an OPP
portunity to see the characters of the
great work live and breathe. The por-
trayal Of Carton affords Mr.. Harvey a
wide scope for the display of his many
sided art. Seats now on sale. Prices

Thirty nine errors in the rulings

practice, believes in, upholds, de-
tends and seeks to screen polygamy
because it is tenet of the religion
which he Processes. The women
understand all this, which is the
reason why they want Smoot turned
out of the senate.
Can it be doneS That is the
question not easily answered. Smoot
was lawfully elected to represent the
state Of Utah in the senate and that
state can no more be denied represen-
tation than can New York or Pennsyl.
vania. When either Of these great
states elects a man senator, it expects
him to go to Washington and take
his seat without opposition and con-
tinue therein until his successor is
duly elected. Utah has a right to
expect the same thing, and it is no
small matter to send her chosen
representative back to her unrecogniz-
ed, but still it can be done on one of
two grounds.
If SmoOt is guilty of polygamous
practices he is a violator of the laws
Of the land and may be denied his
seat on that ground But it does not
appear that the man now has, or ever
did have, more than one wife. He
seems, so far as there is any evidence
to show, to have been satisfied to be
the husband Of a single woman, and
If that be so, he cannot be convicted
of polygamous practices.
The other gound on which il may
be able to Gust Smoot from the senate
is that he had subscribed to an oath
which no American should take. 1t
is alleged that when he became a
Momon apostle he lifted his hand and
declared: And | hereby promise
and swear that l will hold eternal
enmity toward the government OF the
United States and will avenge the
death of the prophet, Joseph Smith. :"
Now the question is, did Smoot ever
take such an oath as that? II he did,
and the fact can be established, he
should be uneeremoniously bounced
from the senate. No person who
swears eternal enmity' to the
United States government has any
business to have hand in making
the laws by which that government Is
regulated.
But while the taking Of such an
oath would be just and sufficient cause
for turning Smoot out of office, the
mere fact that be is Mormon, objec-
tionable as that religion may appear
to the majority of the people, has in
reality nothing to do with the case.
A man can profess any religion he
pleases and still be eligible to office
in this country, provided be leads
the life Of a good American citizen
and keeps within the law. Has
Smoot always done this? That Is
the question to be determined. -

Diem.
That Senator Smoot. the Mormon
apostle, will not be permitted to
quietly occupy his seat in the upper
house at Washington until his case
shall have been decided finally by the
senate itself, is now apparent. The
American women are now on the war
path, and this man Smoot Is their
intended victim, not that they have
anything against him personally, but
because they hate the religious aud
social system of which he is one Of
the main supporters. They do not
mean that MormOnism shall flaunt
its indecencies in the national
capitol, If they can help it, and they
will keep up the agitation to have
Smoot elected from bis seat In the
senate until such time az that body
reaches final conclusion ia the
matter. II the senate, therefore,
wants to be given a rest, the Smoot
case should be settled one way or the
Other as soon as possible.
1t is easy to understand why the
American women fought Roberts out
Of the house aud why they are trying
to fight Smoot out of the Senate.
These men stand for a hated institu-
tion. In the past polygamy has been
the right hand maiden Of the Mormon
church. II was the inspiration Of its
leaders, and by many is believed to
be their inspiration today, notwith-
standing that IL was once thought to
have been legislsted to death. Badly
scortched IL certainly was, but the
evil still lives and is being tenderly
nursed In secret, there is no longer
any reasonable doubt. Polygamy Is

AGITATION FOR NEW STATE
CUT OFF IDAHO PANHANDLE
Several Proposed Divisions which Waald
AReet Washington, Oregon. Idaho aud
Montana Capital to be at City Of Spok-
ans.

A correspondent writing from
lewiston to the Oregonian says that
cit will not be at all surprising if the
agitation for new state in this neck
Of the woods is taken up soon. In
fact, the desirability Of a seat of
government for the accommodation
of large area of country between
central Idaho and British Columbia
and extending east and west accord
ing to the notions of different in
dividuals, is often talked of and,
according to men from different
sections Of the territory mentioned,
will one of these days be live
subject.
There is Idaho with her pan
handle sticking up between Washing
ton and Montana like a sore thumb
and it may as we'll be Topped of, =
says one. As a matter Of fact, the
i've northern counties of Idaho are
effectively cut off from the capital at
Boise by the mountains of central
Idaho. To go from this point to
Boise one must travel in the opposite
direction and travel a whole day
before changing his course in the
direction of his intended destination.

with the city where his laws are
made, and outside Of those called to
the capital on official business the
people Of northern Idaho are probably
as familiar with the streets of San
Francisco and st. Paul as with
Boise.
The people Of eastern Washington
likewise are lacking in familiarity
with their capital at Olympia. An
ex-member Of the Oregon legislature,
speaking of the present political
divisions Of the country maintains
the entire original Oregon territory
should be redivided by extending the
boundary line between Oregon and
southern Idaho and make a state OF
eastern Oregon and southern Idaho,
another Of eastern Washington and
northern Idaho, while Oregon and
Washington are restricted TO the
territory west OF the Cascade
mountains.
A man from western Montana and
prominent in politics in that state,
suggests as a new state the five
northern counties of Idaho, the three
western counties Of Montana, Flat
head, Missouls, and Ravalli; the
eastern tier Of Washington counties,
and possibly Wallowa county oi

STRAIGHT QUEENSBURY RULES
WILL GOVERN BOUT
Herman Miller and Billy Farren Signed Articles
Yesterday to Meet in 25-Ro9nd Bout Oct L.

Knowing that the last contest bel
tween Miller and Farren left a dissatis-
fed feeling among the spectators,
Matchmaker Wilson has been hard at
work trying to bring these two men
together, and yesterday the boxers,
their representatives and the manage
ment of the club had a meeting, and
the new match was talked over and
finally settled.
The first question that came up was
that. of weight. and as both men are
about the same weight that point was
easily settled, and the men will meet
at catch weights The next point was
the number of rounds that would con-
stitnte the co. Farren wanted it to go
as far as possible, and Miller said
anything suited him, and it was agreed
on that the contest would be limited
to twenty-five rounds.
The rules that govern the bout will
be straight Marquis of Queensbury
rules, allowing the men to box as long
as one arm is free, and to box until
they were clinched and then the referee
viii break them by passing between
them.
The next point that came up was the
most important one, the selection of
the referee. The club had proposed
that Charles Leyan, the well known
sporting man, act but this Sc
lection did not meet with the APP
proval of both the men, and though
the question of Mr.. Levan's honesty
was in no way doubted. the claim of
Farren that a younger man should be
selected met with general approval.
Many names were proposed and talk
ed over without any man being chosen,
and at last the referee question was
left open, and clause was inserted
in the articles that he should be chosen
the day of the contest, and his name

ring This seemed to please all con-
cerned, and the articles were drawn
up and signed. The following is an
exact copy of the articles of agree
ment signed by both men:
An agreement entered in between the
Savannah Athletic Club of the first
part Herman Miller of the second part
and Billy Farren of the third part, on
this, the 9Th Of September. 1903: The
said Herman Miller and Billy Farren
do hereby agree to enter into a boxing
contest before the Savannah Athletic
Club, on or about the 10th of SeDtem-
her. -
The weight shall be catch. The ref
cree shall be chosen by, the two con-
testants on the day of the contest. and
his name shall be announced as the
men enter the ring.
The said Herman Miller and Billy
Farren shall receive for their services
on that evening, the sum of so per cent.
of the gross receipts, the same to be d.
Vided, so per cent. to the winner and
40 per cent. to the loser.
The contest shall be one of twenty
five rounds.
The contest shall be fought under the
straight Marquis of QueenSbury rules;
the men viii be allowed to box as long
as they have one arm free. and when
they come to a clinch, they shall be
broke by the referee passing between
them.
Soft bandages shall be allowed.
The Contestants shall be allowed but
three seconds. <
The above set of articles has been
adopted by the boxers and cover up
every loop hole. and this time will
prove which is the better man. Not only
is decision on foul unsatisfactory to
the men. but also to the patrons. for
1t is far from deciding who is the best
man, and when a bout come to a de-
cision at the limit on points or before
by knockout punch, the public at
large is, as arruie, perfectly satisfied.
