! OF Peace Calls Attention to the
Danger and Asks Cooperation
to Stop the Illegal Acts.
WASHINGTON, Feb. -Represen-
tations have been made to the state de-
partment by the Russian ambassador,
Count Cassini, regarding the increas-
ing seriousness Of the situation in Chi
ma in the hope that the United States
will cooperate with the other powers
to stop the illegal importation of arms,
which has reached an alarming stage
of activity. Similar representations
have been made through the Russian
representatives to Belgium, Germany
and Great Britain.
The Chinese officials claim they are
,powerless to stop the practice, and the
Russian government In the interest of
tention of the powers. Secretary Hay
and the Russian ambassador have had
several conferences on the matter, but
1T has not been decided just what
course the United States, under the
constitution, can take toward prevent
ing the expectation of arms. 1t is prob
able that the only relief lies in special
legislation by congress, which is
deemed impossible at this session.
Belgians are the chief offenders III
this illegal practice, though it is said
many arms are entering China from
the United States, Germany and Great
Britain. Ambassador Cassini, who has
spent many years in China and is re-
cess of the Russian policy there, re-
CARDS the Chinese situation as deserv-
ing of the serious and immediate con-
sideration of the powers Reports re
cefved at the state department also
indicate that mischief is being wrought
by the Importation of arms into China.

"THE SHOW GIRL"

Polls is pretty well filed at the mat
inee performance of THE Show Girl,
for when the musica.M omedy is re-
peated this evening. 1t may be after
all that the railroad blunder of a week
ago that prevented the giving of the
performance then may act as an aid
to a large business for to-day's engage
ment, as interest in the production has
been increased because of the mishap.
There is besides considerable curiosity
to see Mr. Rice's new prima donna,
Miss May Sherwood, whom he puts
forward as the coming queen of must
cal comedy. 1t is known, too, that all
the old favorites of the original pro-
duction are retained. including Frank
Lalor, RobeN Daley, David Lythgoe,
YOlande Wallace, Marie Hilton, the
mysterious cat David Abrahams and
others, which insures that there will
be no let-dlwn in the fun that makes

SAVED FROM THE SEA-

This thrilling nautical melodrama
will be the attraction at Polls on Fri
day evening and it will undoubtedly
repeat here there experiences it has
had elsewhere of proving one, of the
most sensational on the stage. The
story of the play is a strong, pure de-
lineation of the life of dWellers along
the English coast with just enough vii
lainy from outside sources intermixed
to form the counterpart. The great
est scene from the standpoint of thrills
is In the third act. where a man wrong
fully condemned to death mounts the
gallows to pay the penalty demanded
by the law He is saved in almost a
mira culous manner. the mechanism OF
the gallows refusing to respond to the
turning of the lever. 70 some TINS
NAV seem a bit far-fetched, but the in
cident is based upon fact and is taken
from happening in England less
than ten years ago. Popular prices.

The appearance of Mary Mannerfng
In Clyde Fitch's comedy, The Stub
bornness Of Geraldine tomorrow
evening at Polls will undoubtedly
draw out another Of the fashionable
audiences OF the season. and it is prom
1ised that the play will again strengthen
appreciation Of the great personal
charm and emotional powers of Miss
Mannering. In the play which made
a great success at the Garrick theater,
New York. Miss Mannering's role is
that of a typical American girl, edu-
Gated abroad and thrown among sur
roundings that are strange when she
returns to her old home Her stub
bornness consists solely in fidelity to
the misund erstood man she loves, and
faith may be said to be the theme Of
the simple and pretty story. The pro-
duction is said to be of an elaborate
character unusual in offerings of light
modern comedy. The picture of life
on shipboard, to which the first act is
devoted, has proved to be one Of the
seasons hits in it's amusing and orig
inal realism. while the scenes of a
drawing room during a bridge whist
party duu uuC COuStINdlOIy Ol 0CIdlu-
ines home during a ball are said to be
of exceptional beauty and richness.
Miss Mannering's support includes a
number of well known players headed
by Arthur Byron. who will himself

urea New Education Bill.
ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. 25.-District
Attorney Jerome Of New York APP
peared before senate and assembly
committees yesterday in advocacy Of
the Jerome biIl'' permitting saloons in
New York to be open between the
hours of and II p. M. on Sunday.
He said: Every saloon in New York
could be closed on Sunday and kept
closed, but it could not be enforced
permanently, for the men who enforced
it would be swept out of Office. The
mayor Of New York is prattlfng about
the liberal enforcement of the law
when there is no such thing. You must
either. enforce law or not enforce it.
We are not law abiding community,
but we could learn to obey law that
we respected.
Take the practical humiliation
shown in the situation today. There
we have mayor of, education and re-
finement, former president of great
educational institution, a man from
the higher walk of life, and we find
him juggling with the Interpretation of
the criminal law, talking about liberal
enforcement We find him nonjudi-
cial officer, interpreting the statute"
The district attorney declared that
100000 men drink in saloons and hotels
in the metropolis on Sundays, and he
pointed to the folly of trying to enforce
the system.
The only visible opposition to the
child labor bills, on which hearing was
given by the assembly committees on
labor and industry, was that of Ell
bridge Z. Gerry, president Of the So
ciety for Prevention of Cruelty to Chill
dren. His objection, which was ems
bodied in letter read by Major Ham
ilton Of New York city, was that such
legislation would lead to conflict be-
tween the law proposed and the penal
code. 1t was the province OF his So
ciety, he maintained, to care for these
matters.
The compulsory education bill pre-
pared by Charles w. Cole, superintend-
emit Of schools of Albany, was intro
duced in the senate by Senator Lewis.
Tt changes the compulsory period in
which children must attend school
from eight to sixteen to seven to six
teen years of age. Superintendent of
schools are given authority to apply an
educational test where children are
taught elsewhere than at school, Chill
dren between the ages of fourteen and
sixteen must attend night school not
less than six hours week for sixteen
weeks, and school authorities and POI
lice magistrates shall have power to
commit truants to truant schools or in
stitutions during school vacations.
