"SaIammbo.u

"Salammbo." as interpreted by Fred erick Warde and Katheryn Kidder at the Jefferson theatre last night was splen- did, barbaric story of the days of an- cient Carthage. The play was magnih- gently staged and the production was one that appealed to the eye In every sense MT. Warde always brings with him correct scenic investiture, although 1t must be confessed he is sometimes more fortunate in the choice of plays than at others.
 Briefly, "Salammbo' is the story of the love of Matho, barbarian chief of the Lybian mercenarles and Slammbo, the daughter of Hamilcar commander-in- chief of the Carthagenian armies. Matho invades Carthage, steals sacred veil from the temple of Moloch and retires to his camp outside the city walls. The We'll is believed to be the arbiter of destiny Tor the Carthagenians, and in order to save her people from ruin and to prevent the sacrifice of her brother, Hannibal, to Mo- loch Salammbo goes to the tent of Matho and offers herself to him If he will return the sacred veil. Here takes place a pas sage of stormy passion iT which MT. Varde shows at his best when he pleads with Salammbo for her love and is re- pulsed by her bitter declaration that she loathes him. Conquered by his love the barbarian chief restores the veil to Sa-
  in safety but not before she has con- fessed that she does not loathe him after all.
 The daughter of Hamicar finally yields to the love that Matho has awakened and learning of a conspiracy to slay the chief, she makes a rendezvous at the ruins Of the temple of Delos, where they are dis covered by the conspirators, and Matho is taken He turns upon Salammbo, ac- cuses her of betraying him and spurns her in despair.
 Matho is taken to Carthage where the sentence of death is passed upon nlm' the efforts of Salammbo to save his lire proving of no avail. The barbarian IS nur- ried through the streets of carthage to fall bleeding and dying at the rect or Salammbo, who stands on the steps or tbe Acropolis. Here Matho dies and Salammbo falls lifeless across his body.
 It is a rugged intense sort Of play, sombre and tragic throughout. MT. Warde is well suited for the heroic stormy roe of a barbarian chieftain. In fact ne mas played the soldier in sword ana helmet so long that he has become accustomed to such parts. Last night MT. Warde was effective in the strongest scenes and 1m- nressive nearly all the time but he was given rather lame support by Miss Kid der. She was too cold and heavy; not the passionate, i1npulsive nature one usually associates with the women or a bar barian race. Only once or twice did she rise to the occasion. In the last act she was convincing when Matho lay dying on the steps of the Acropolis and in the tent of Matho she was effective, but most of the time she impressed one as ex- tremely apathetic. No other members of the company showed conspicuous talent and as a whole "Salammbo" was not as ,1to 5ot.- efforts. There was too much spouting, too much of the heavy tragedy and gut teral crescendo that belongs to the old school of acting.
 The audience was even more apathetic than Miss Kidder. The applause was so

It was easy to see that "Salammbo'' was not creating enthus- iasm to marked degree. A prominent feature of the performance was Miss Kid ders back, which was much In evidence during five acts.

Concluding Remarks.

In conclusion the president said;
 T may be pardoned for saying that Tn many of the discussions. both oral and written, looking to improvement and re- duced cost of transportation, these great facts are wholly ignored and policies ad- yanced with such reckless disregard to the rights of the railroads as would be destructive of all development and rum ous to the prosperity of our country. Ca nals should be dug, rivers made naViga- ble and additional railroads built when ever and wherever necessity demands. Above all things, the public roads should be improved so that our rural districts will be built up, thrive, and keep pace with modern advancement. and, indeed, no efforts should be spared which tends in the remotest degree to develop the marvellous resources of our great country. Let us, therefore, encourage all existing enterprises, build up new ones, and ex- pend our surplus energies in the glorious work of peacefully. energetieally and har- moniously working out the destiny of the American people,"
 After his address President Smith was warmly congratulated.
 The different chairmen of committees announced meetings of their committees, to be held at different hours last evening In the Hotel h1llman.
 At 12:30 p. m a motion to adjourn until 9:30 this morning prevailed.

every unjust burden laid upon the ratl- roads increases the cost of transportation and makes 1t all the more difficult to bring about reductions.
 T have always believed in reasonapie governmental superivision of railroaas. In my Judgment t Is not only necessity. but has become a fixture In the policy of our government believe also that damages should be awarded In every case where justice demands and that the Dur dens of taxation should be justly ana equitably shared by the railroads Witn tine people of the several states put have never had any sympathy with or respect for that opinion and feeling lnae corporations shold be treated as souiless or denied the right of equal protee.ieo.h under the law An enlightened pupllc sentiment would uphold che railroads m every legitimate effort to upbuild the country and restrain them only rom acts of oppression and abuse of power.
 Tt is automatic that the prosperity u railroads and the prosperity of the peo. pie are interdependent; in the interest or f-preservation, therefore II TOT no other reason, the efforts of railroad man agers are constantly being directed to- ward upbuilding the country they could not hope to lessen their burdens or m crease their revenue by throttling enter prises.

that English racing men do not want
Americans on the English race course
is exercising the minds of some of the
more reputable of the sporting fra

They feel that the decisions arrived
at by the Americans referred to are not
calculated to foster a feeling of good
Fellowship between American and Eng

movement is on foot to get the Jockey
club to make an investigation before
the commencement of the first racing
season in March
The fact that the king has for some
time employed American In preference
to English Jockeys has added to the
seriousness of the situation, because
English trainers do not wish his males
ty to think that on account of the pref
erence they would make things un-
comfortable for American sportsmen.

Ing the matter today said:
Il certainly cannot see how Mr.. Hug
gins is justified in saying that the
trainers make 1t plain that Americans
are not wanted here. He appeared to
be one of the most popular men at
Newmarket. American trainers usually
have different methods Of training from
our own; but Higgins system was
more English than any Of the other
Americans who had establishments
here. He was certainly credited with
being sbrewd in his profession and I
am sure everybody who knew him was
sorry at his departure, because he was

Croker's action is not regarded so Sc
