Hamlet which taken all In all will please
the most critical of audiences claiming TO
understand or appreciate plays Of the
master dramatist.
From the moment the curtain rises

10 note the dramatic Interpretation of the
various parts by the different actors and
actresses and the smoothness with which
the production is run Off. Some Of the
parts were really brilliantly taken ard
would stand out well In companies far
more noted than are most OF the players
with Miss Rober.
There is in the main but little 10 crit
icise unfavorably In the interpre Ia tion of
the play or In the fitness Of the various
actors and actresses for their parts and
nothing was overdone or artificial After
the opening lines each player entered into
MS or her part with feeling and under
standing that merits nothing but praise.
They cast aside their own personality
for the sake OF drama tic rendition. taking
the audience hack from the modern TO
the world and life OF the sixteenth CEN
tury. This stepping out of self into a
part successfully was particularly seen
IN the part Of Ophelia For n woman Of

CONGRESS MAY BE CALLED
In Full Extra Session II the Senate Main
tnins Its Attitude.

Washington, Mar. 10. = When the
president was informed that the senate
intended to amend the Cuban treaty so
us to REQUIRE concurrence by the house
of representatives, he informed some
of the senate that he wonld hold him
self free to call an extraordinary
session of the congress in order to Sc
cure action upon it. No definite time
was mentione by the president for the
meeting of the extraordinary session.
The president is much in earnest in his
desire to have the Cuban treaty ratified
and make it effective. 1t can be said
that so strong is this desire, he even
has considered the ACCESSIBILITY of call
ing the congress into extraordinary
session this spring If the senate should
permit the Cuban treaty to fail through
lack of quorum.
That, however, is a contingency
which he considers improbable. The
belief of the president and his advisors
is that the senate will take definite ac-
ton upon both the Panama canal and
Cuban reciprocity treaties at the present
extraordinary session. Assurances to
that effect have been received from the
leaders of the senate. The president
believes also it can be said that this
work of the senate will have been ac-
complished by the last of the week.
Further than that the president
"holds himself free" to call an extra
ordinary session of the 5Sth congress,
nothing has been determined.

4 SWEEPING INJUNCTION.
For Violation OF The interstate
Commerce Laws By Strikers.
TEN STRIKERS ARE ARRESTED.

Kansas City, Mar. 16-Judgc John
Phillips, in the United States district
court, issued sweeping injunction
restraining all members of the local
Team Drivers International union
from Interfering with the business of
eleven of the transfer companies of the
city, whose men are on strike. The
eleven companies petitioned the court
to restrain the strikers and their
sympathizers on the ground that the
. interference with wagons on the way
to depots and shipping yards is in VIC
lation of the interstate commerce laws.
The plaintiffs argued that goods are in
transit, in the meaning of the law,
from the moment they are loaded into
the wagon, when receipt is given by
the transfer company and this conten.
ton was upheld by the court. The
injunction, which is a temporary one,
is made returnable on March 20.
Notices of the injunction issued upon
petition of the Kansas City Transfer
company, were served upon thirty
eight labor dealers and strikers, but
had little effect But few men were
employed to take the strikers places
and what men did go to work accom-
plishcd but little work.
In the bottoms ten strikers were ar
rested for stoning driver and block
aiding the thoroughfares and it became
necessary for the police to disperse the
crowd, but no one was hurt. Later as
many more men were arrested for OBJ
structng the sidewalks and a charge of
disturbing the peace was placed against
fhan,

citing in the cty's history, nor is the
excitement abated by the strikers de-
claring that a general strike will be
called and that no Toledo freight Will
be handled by transfers in any part of
the country. The trouble began when
a mob of 400 strikers and sympatllizers
followed truck through the principal
business streets, endeavoring to knock
and pull from his place "a non-union
driver. The mob also attempted to do
violence to Manager Turner OF the
Moreton Truck company. Both men
were saved from serious injury, how
ever, by the police Later the police
gave notice that any farther provoca-
ton given the strikers would be the
fault of the employers and that they
would not interfere hereafter.
An attempt was made to throw
non-union driver into the river, but
the man was saved by the police Not
half an hour later another non-union
driver was torn from a truck in front
of Moreton Truck company's office and
at the point of revolver was com
pelled to run for his life. A similar
fate befell non-union teamster within
