MRS. FIskE ROAsTs THE TRUST.
was Unable to Play In salt Lake City
Couldn't Get 0 TheateP.

SALT LAKE CITY, May 2s.-Mrs. Minnie
Madden Fiske delivered an address here
tonight before the members Of the Press
Club Mrs. Fiske was unable to present
her play Leah Kleschna' here owing to
the fact that the opposition controlled all
the theaters In the city. She said in part:
-K the actor consents to pay tribute to
the trust he will be permitted to play In
Salt Lake City. II he refuses to pay tribute
to the trust he will not be permitted to play
in Salt Lake City.
until this season the trust controlled only
the first class theaters in the cities through
out the country. Until this season the second
class theaters were open to independent
actors. 1t was possible to appear in these
second class theaters, raising the scale Of
prices to that charged In the first class
that frequented the latter. The trust has
now seized upon the second class theaters.
They are no longer open to the linden pedent
actor. A new combination has given the
trust absolute control Of the second class
1t was the only possible way by which 1t
could prevent the tours OF an independent
actor.
There are, you know, throughout the
country numbers OF theaters devoted to
the performances OF stock companies.
be occasionally open to independent actors.
Not at all. Indirectly the trust exercises
as we'll as the others, becau use their man
ayers fear that should they open their doors
to independent actors or managers their
supply of plays would be curtailed. Thus
nearly all the theaters OF nearly all the
cities are closed to the independent actor:
1T Is to be hoped that before long the
American people will understand what this
theater trust really is. When they do
understand the death knell of the trust will
be sounded. The American people have
the release OF the theater easily in their
power IL they wish to exercise the power.
Let us hope they will ponder these matters
and refuse to be dictated to. 1t Is your
right In this city to determine what actors
you desire to see"

The Atlantic's Victory and Our Cup

The end of the greatest ocean yacht
race ever sailed will arouse feelings OF
satisfaction in all American hearts. The
contest has been won in magnificent
style by the three masted schooner
Atlantic designed, built and owned in
this city. 1t is pity that her skipper
is not an American born seaman, but
he was not permitted any choice in the
matter. He has done his best to remedy
the original error by becoming natural
lied citizen and by defending with signal
success the Americas Cup. He now
brings to American possession the splen-
did trophy which until yesterday seemed
likely to remain in the possession Of the
Kaiser's sole representative in the race.
The last reports of the racers brought
hither by incoming steamers placed the
German schooner Hamburg we'll in the
lead, with the Ailsa Endymion and Allan
tic following. At 1925 P. NJ, by Green
witch time, on May "a the Atlantic was
seen in latitude Al degrees 4s minutes
north, longitude As degrees minutes
west, or about 400 miles west of Bishops
Rock. At that time she had a smashing
breeze of about thirty-hve miles an
hour over her quarter. A quartering
wind is the most favorable for fast sail
ing, and even the racing machines carry
kites off Sandy Hook when flying before
a thirty-fve mile breeze. A powerful
seagoing vessel would find such weather
to her liking for she would have follow
ing sea.
That it suited the Atlantic is demon
started by the fact that she covered the
1,4OO miles in about five days. This
means an average Of nearly twelve knots
an hour. That is splendid sailing, and
there must have been hours when the
log showed much higher rate of going.
Furthermore, the Atlantic has made a
new transatlantic record for yachts.
The Endymion's record Of thirteen
days twenty hours from Sandy Hook
to the Needles will stand because 1t was
200 miles longer than that made by the
Atlantic, but the latters has the advan-
tage Of being made in race and officially
timed. All that remains now to be con-
quered is the famous packet Dread
naught's record Of nine days seventeen
hours from Sandy Hook to the Mersey.
The packet sails no more, but the
American yacht is still in business and
is making a very pretty collection of
cups. Green water or blue, mark boats
or meridian sights on soundings or of.
it is all the same to us. Who covets our
blue ribbons and our mugs must come
and take them, and there's the rub.

A Momentous Event.

The destruction by the Japanese of the
Russian fleet, and practically the Russian
naval power, may be said, without any
exaggeration due to the near glamour
of the victory in the Corean Strait, to be
one Of the most momentous events not
merely in naval history, but also in the
history OF the world.
Here is nation which was opened to
the civilized world only fifty years ago,
has been organized after the plan Of
Western civilization for less than twenty
five years, only within ten years has had
a navy Of any considerable rank, that
has by one blow put itself in the very
forefront of the naval Powers of the
world, after having previously demon
strated it's superiority on land to the
nominally greatest military Power Of
the world.
This naval engagement in the Corean
Strait therefore marks radical change
IN the distribution Of the military strength
and the military possibilities of the
world. The complete victory Of Japan
in the war with Russia which it fore
shadows will put Japan far up toward
the head OF the military Powers; and be-
fore this century ends it will hold the
first place beyond peradventure, if its
development shall continue in anything
like the ratio OF the progress which it
has made since its victory over China
ten years ago.
The engagement in the Corean Strait
afforded the first full test Of the new en-
ginee Of naval war which has been made
since their Introduction. certainly since
the type Of modern battleship has been
brought to its present development.
Our American destruction Of the Spanish
fleets at Manila and Santiago could not
be called such test, though our ex-
perienoe there foreshadowed the results
in the Japanese waters. That is, both
the Spanish and the Russian ships were
destroyed without significant damage
to the opposing fleets. The theory that
when modern ships Of war actually
met souarely in battle, each side would
be likely to destroy the other, has been
disposed of efectually The victory
won by the Japanese is not only one Of
the most complete in the hist ory OF
naval war, but it also was won without
loss to the victor.
1t is demonstrated that Japan is the

TO USE GREEK-ITALIAN RITE.
Archbishop Farley Sanctions the Intro.
duction OF the Ceremonial Here.

Archbishop Farley Sanctions the Intro.
duction OF the Ceremonial Here.
To the many ceremonials now observed
In the churches Of the city is soon TO be
added the Creek Italian rite. The 10000
Italians Of New York who come from the
provinces OF Calabria, Apulia, Sicily and
Basilicata where the Greek-Italian rite
is observed, sent delegation to Arch
bishop Farley some time ago to request
that the rite of their branch of the church
be introduced here. They represented
that the falling away of the Italians Of
New York from the Catholic Church was
due In large part to the lack of the celebra-
ton Of the mass to which they had been 40
customed and in which they were baptized.
The Archbishop decided to grant the re-
quest and the matter was placed in the
hands Of his Italian secretary. DR.. Ferrante,
who announced yesterday that the rite
would be introduced in a mission church
which will probably be established in Grand
street The Archbishop of Pale mo has
become interested in the needs Of the Creek
Italians Of New York and has sent Father
Pinnola, graduate of the seminary at
Palermo, to assist in the introduction Of
the rite in this country. The first public
service will probably be held by the middle
OF the coming month.
The mass resembles in its ceremtnialN
the high mass Of the Roman Church. The
priest officiating reads part of the mass,
sings part and chants other parts The
priest is vested differently from those Of
the Roman Church. His biretta is diff
ferent in shape and fabric and the chasubls
he wears is fashioned after the Mosaic
order, the vestments flowing to his feet and
having long, wide sleeves.
This mass was introduced into Italy by
the Albanese. The service is not in Latin
as in other Catholic churches, but in dialect
Of the ancient Greek.

TOO LONG BETWEEN NIGHT CARS
On Macombs Dam Bridge and Penalties
Threaten ed There.

When the franchise was granted permit
ting the Union Railroad Company to cross
Macomb's Dam Bridge. one Of the clauses
provided that the company should run cars
across the bridge between 2 A. M. and 9
A. M. not less than twenty minutes apart.
Henry p. Nichols chief Of the franchise
Bureau Of the Finance Department, reported
yesterday to Comptroller Grout that he has
had inspectors at work for several nights
past timing the cars and that frequently
in the early hours Of the morning there had
been intervals of eighty minutes between
the cars.
Mr.. Grout sent yesterday to Edward A.
Maher, president Of the company, demand
for an explanation and to show cause why
the $50 fines prescribed in the franchise
for violations OF the agreement with the city
should not be enforced.

Mr.. Fairbanks Escort.

When the Hon. CHARLES WARREN FAIR
BANKS visits Portland, Ore, to lend his
dignifed presence to the opening cere-
monies of the Lewis and Clark Centen-
NAL Exposition he will be escorted
through the streets of the city by two
troops of cavalry and a mounted band.
From this fact an effort has been made
by certain political opponents of In
diana's tallest statesman to convince
the public that Mr.. FAIRBANKS since
his election to the office of Vice-Presi-
dent of the United States has aban-
doned those simple habits which en-
deared him to the voters and adopted
an ostentatious style Of living savorin 6
strongly Of imperialism.
Contemplate is the only word to apply
to such an attack upon an upright pub
lie servant. Mr.. FAIRBANKS will go to
Portland in his official capacity, on
public business, the honored guest of an
exposition held under Government sane
ton and aided with Government money.
He will represent at the exposition the
President of the United States. The
troops that will surround him as he passes
through the streets Of the city will parade
because of the high office he holds and
the Government he represents while in
Oregon. Their presence will be due to
no wish of Mr.. FAIRBANKS. Personally
he would prefer to visit the exposition
quietly, like any ordinary, curious, patri-
otto sightseer. The noise and bother OF
his coming trip are dstasteful to him.
We're it possible for him to avoid them he
would do 80 gladly. But his individual
wishes must give place to the demands
Of the day. The pomp and circumstance
of official receptions and escorts he must
submit to, for he is helpless to prevent
them.
1t is not true that CHARLES WARREN
FAIRBANKS delights in military display
and encourages ceremony and show in
those about him. No Presidential can
didate is fonder Of the quiet, unassum-
ing ways Of the great majority OF his
fellow citizens. A plain man, man Of
the plain people is he. This his admir-
ing countrymen know, and his enemies
but waste their strength when they
picture him otherwise.

In Mississippi last week forty monu-
ments erected by Ohio to its soldiers who
fell in the siege Of Vcksburg were dedi-
GATED in the National Military Park at Vicks-
burg. Governor HERRIcK with party Of
one hundred veterans from Ohio and the
First Regiment OF the Ohio National Guard
were participants, and Governors HERRIcK
and vARDAMAN reviewed a procession Of
the Ohio and Mississippi National Guards.
1t Is a notable feature Of this celebration,
as 1t has been observed in all memorial
gatherings in the South, that the number
Of Confederate is larger than the number
OF Union veterans. At meeting Of Con-
federate veteran camp it is found that the
average age OF those in attendance is little
beyond middle life. In gatherings of vet
Grams Of the North, majority Of those in
attendance are old men-some OF them
very old men.
There we're fewer soldiers in the Southern
than in the Northern armies; the mortality
was greater in the Southern than in the
Union armies. The Northern States suf-
fered comparatively little from the effects
Of the strife, whereas many sections OF the
South were injured and some Of them dew
astated.
Notwithstanding this, the average age
OF Confederate veterans as seen at memo
rial observanoes is less than that Of Northern
veterans. The explanation Of it Is that
especially during the closing year OF the
war; Confederate recruiting officers we're
compelled to take all who offered, justify
ing, in this particular, the saying OF General
SHERIDAN in the Shenandoah as to "robbing
the cradle and the grave Boys Of fifteen
and sixteen were recruited in the Southern
armies in the last days Of the Confederacy,
and forty years having elapsed, these "vet-
Grams" are now between ffty-fve and sixty,
whereas Union veterans who enlisted at
twenty-five are going on to seventy.
