CIGARETTE
IN PUBLIC
SCHOOLS

Cigarettes seem TO he in tremendous de-
mand among pupils of the public schools
al least so DIR. W. A. Shaw discovered in
his tour OF nine OF the grammar schools
yesterday. The estimate of the Indianap-
oils physician, who is one of the reading
spirits OF the National Cigarette
league. is that fully 90 per cent of the
male pupils between the ages OF eight
and l6 years, by their own confession or
the testimony OF intimates, are users of
these coffin nails" to a greater or leSN
degree.
This condition of affairs he found 20
obtain in eight schools-Broad, oxford,
Vineyard. Messer and Thayer streets.
Lexington, Doyle aud Branch avenues
while In Just one school--Peace street did
DR. Shaw find the percentage OF cigarette
smokers run as low az s5 which is, ac-
cording TO the investigators statements,
the smallest he has ever encountered.
On his tour OF investigation, DR.. Shaw
was accompanied by School Committee
man T. w. Waterman and TO his youthful
hearers the physician pointed out the
undeniable fact that In nearly all cases,
cigarette smoking, leading 10 other vices,
has been the means of placing boys in
the Reform school or even in jail; and an
other OF his arguments is that many rail-
roads, banks, mercantile houses and other
large corporations have issued an edct
against users OF the cigarette and will
employ no man who is a victim OF the
habit. He resumed his investigation to-
day visiting the Point Federal, Candace
and Roosevelt Street schools and also
those on Manton and Academy Avenues.
Tomorrow he will visit the high schools.
Or. Shaw, before he leaves the city,
hopes 10 organize a Providence branch
Of the National Anti-Cigarette league and
decisive action with this end In view will
be taken tomorrow afternoon at a mass
meeting to be held I'm the Union Con-
gregational church at 4 O'Clock Public
school pupils I'm particular and anyone
else who Is interested I'm the subject, are
invited to attend this meeting.

PROVIDENCE OPERA HOUSE.


AT the Providence Opera house for the
first half OF the week. with a matinee
tomorrow Henry w. Savage offers Ray
mond Hitchcock In new American
comedy. Easy Dawson" by Edward e.
r. Kidder.
A genuinely funny comedian in fairly
funny play that is made very funny by
the genuinely funny Mr.. Hitchcock.
1t Is reasonable TO presume from this
newest vehicle for Mr.. Hitchcock's ex-
panding talents that he Is working him
self along by easy stages from burlesquc
and buffoonery into legitimate comedy.
The musical Yankee Consul was one
step upward from the knock-about King
Dodo. and Easy Dawson" which is all
drama, save for n concession of some
spare minutes 10 Mr.. Hitchcocks singing
and gavorting tendencies, seems 10 be
n long stride toward the real thing which
II Is reasonable to believe Mr.. Hitchcock
aspires. as he has perfect right and a
sure title to do.
II Is always interesting TO note the
progress OF such a development through
the stages that are imposed upon the
actor who is trying to work out or a line
in which he Is eminent and into another
line at which he may believe he can
achieve eminence Such a transition Is
not necessarily upward" except from
the point of view OF the observer who
has but one point OF view and would
deny to him who Is an artist In one line
the same applause that is bestowed upon
an artist In another line. But il Is a fact
OF experience that. when an actor tries
10 work his way into what TO save con-
troversy may be admitted TO be the high

self over. so TO speak. from, say. a bur
lesque artist into a tragedian. he IL unable
20 do that at a lump II he has got TO earn
his living as he goes along IL he tries 10
do It at one bound even though he is
quite well able 10 do Il. the attempt Is
sure TO be expensive since audiences re-
fuse TO accept the transition all at once
and must be trained 10 the higher life
on the part OF the actor familiar To them
in a different role even IL the actor is all
ready for II. Nat Goodwin had 10 train

convincing the. box office patrons that he
is a tragedian. One OF our very foremost
character actors. who won his first fame
as the hind legs OF a heifer In an ex-
travaganza. found that 1t required many
many years OF costly demonstration on his
part 10 convince the public that there was
anything artistic in his makeup beyond
the nimbleness OF his two legs.
These observations are made on the
assumption that Mr.. Hitchcock Is work

what may be termed legitimate comedy.

TRADE Professors
German American Plan Ap.
pears a Go

BERLIN. Jan. 2S-Emperor Will
liam has directed the ambassador to the
United States, Baron Speck Won Stern
berg, to lay before President Roosevelt
in official form the suggestion of an ex-
change of professors between Ger
many and America that the emperor
mentioned to Ambassador Tower on
New Years day. The ambassador, who
sailed on the Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse, Jan. 25. only carries an OUT
line of the project which the president
will be asked to approve and cooper
ate in making workable plan. The
emperor has invited several German
professors to present him with their
ideas on the subject.
Pref Adolph Harnack, one of those
invited, writes that the great scholars
of the middle ages were not tied fast
to any one country. They lectured at
Naples, Bologna, Paris, Cologne and
oxford, and their students followed
them. Prof Harnack explains the adj

vantage to students of spending part
of their period of study abroad. An
exchange of students he adds, neces-
sarily suggests an exchange Of pro-
fessors. Only few students can now
have the advantage of study abroad,
but larger numbers will get that adj
vantage when the professor himself
goes abroad to lecture. He refers to
Lord Kelvin. Sir William Ramsay and
Nansen, the explorer, as having lee
tured in Berlin. Prof. Max Mueller
Prof. Harnack also points out, came to
Strassburg to give lectures while re-
tanning his Oxford professorsl1ip, and
adds that Prof. Gregory, of Leipzig, is
American by birth and a professor at a
German university and has given a
course of lectures in America.
In exchanging professors" contin-
ues Prof. Harnack, I'VE think in the
first instance of America. Harvard and
Berlin are already negotiating plan
and will have to begin with caution
and within modest limits. If the idea
is sound it will then grow Of itself.
Difficulties will have to be overcome,
like the six-month tours beginning and
ending at different dates. and no uni
versity will be readily willing to let a
fayorite professor off for even a short
time. But the difficulties are not in
sufmountable. Distance hardly counts
any longer. The conviction that in
ternational duties have arisen for men
OF science will carry the plan to sue

Fine Chance for Burbank

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-It has been
the trustees of the Carnegie institute
to Luther Burbank, the California ag-
riculturist, will be paid to him in an
nual installments of $4,000. This will
enable Burbank to devote his entire at
tention for that period to experiments
with new grasses and vegetables, and
it is expected that he will relinauish
temporarily his business interests.
Many important discoveries have been
made by the Californian at his home
in Santa Rosa during the past twenty
five years. He has worked along the
line of seeking imperfect products in
fruits, flowers. etc., in order to make
them of full value. He claims there is

APPRAISERS DECIDE TO
BE A CUSTOMS COURT
Case From Milwaukee Promises to Re-
suit in New Deal

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-The board
of United States general appraisers
has strongly reiterated a previously
expressed determination to be GUS
toms court-an independent tribunal
between the importer on the one hand
and the government on the other. The
case grew out of a protest against the
assessment by the collector of customs
at Milwaukee of duty on personal eff
fects that were forwarded under i'm
mediate transportation entry to Mil
waukee from New York. When the
case was called by the appraisers the
protestant failed to appear, but sent a
letter saying he had made simultane-
ously a protest to the TREASURY de-
partment and already had received a
favorable decision. The appraisers
then declared themselves as noted and
ruled against the protesting citizen of
Milwaukee.
A similar position taken by the
board three years ago in an opinion
written by General Appraiser Somer-
vile was resented by the treasury de-
partment, and for time the removal
of some members of the board appear

BERLIN. Jan. 2S.-Foreign residents
of st. Petersburg are beginning to ar
rive in Berlin to await developments
Some Americans and Enghshmen and
many Germans who are obliged to re-
main there to attend to business are
sending their families here. The opin-
ion of the arrivals is that the present
half calm is only period of prepara-
ton for greater resistance to the gov
ernment and that active smuggling of
arms and dynamite is going on across
the Austrian frontier. ST. Petersburg
society shares the belief that more se-
rious events and even a revolution are
impending.
The wife of leading American of
st. Petersburg who has arrived here

HONOLULU, Jan. %. - When the
Japanese Prince Fushimi passed
through Honolulu on his way to the
United States he was received with
fitting ceremony by Gov. Carter and
Secretary Atkinson, and recently on
his highness' return he left presents
for the governor, the secretary and all
others who had been charged with his
entertainments. The governors pres
ent consisted of massive silver punch
bowl which has been much admired,
but as Secretary Atkinson is away in
Washington, his present has not yet
been opened. In accepting a gift from
foreign prince" the governor violat-

States, which expressly forbids the
taking of such presents. It-is expected
that he will ask permission of congress
to accept the gift.
