We're present. Then they asked per-
mission to change their stage dress
and to wash off the grease paint,
which was granted. One of them
went out in front, where the curtain
had been drawn in the meantime, and
told the audience that there would be
no performance, and that those who
had paid cash to get in would have
their money refunded. There was no
disorder. The audience gave one
cheering shout, and then gradually left
the place-lining up in the street out
side to watch the Sheriff and the po-
lice depart with the prisoners. The
men were taken to the station, and
later were bailed out. But they will
be arrested again if they attempt to
play again, because the Sheriff says
that he is determined that this kind Of
thing must stop.
The whole episode is a part of the
japanese agitation now going forward
in various parts of the Territory, and
is regarded as development decided

visited the Attorney General yesterday
to consult with him relative to the
matter, and We're referred to the po-
lice department. If action had not been
taken there. it is very likely that the
United States District Attorney might
have been appealed to. And it is said
that the thing will not stop with The
arrest of the actors and the manager
of the theater. There is talk of striking
for higher game, and of action for con-
spiracy to promote sedition. And, if
this is .lone, there will be things hap

POLITICS AT

More genuine politics was being done

was any talk of Browns fight against

THE CIVIC FEDERATION

ShrievaIty Contest Since RawIins Has Re-

| The Civic Federation executive COM
mittee met yesterday afternoon in the
office of w. r. Castle to consider the
political situation, and will give out
nothing of what was done at the meet
| ing. 1t will appear, no doubt, at the
at Y. NJ. c. A. hall at 4 o'clock this
afternoon. The committee meeting
was but another spasm of the old
executive session idea of doing things
in which the public is interested-and
then expecting the public to fall in
line Whether it will or not, is an
other question. The American public
has a liking for being taken into
confidence.
However, the committee did not do
a great deal at it's executive meeting
AS a matter of fact, it did not COM
plete anything. And it will probably
hold another meeting today. prior to
the meeting of the Federation. The
candidates on the several tickets We're
discussed, and their merits and de-
merits canvassed. There was a COM
parison of the present and the past
police administrations, not compli-
mentary to the administration that is
closed-and that wants to be reopen

the hostility of the Federation to
Browns candidacy.

Historic Documents Restored and
Transferred TO Library of CONGRESS
BY RE n E B A. HE

the expert who does this work for the Department
of State, carefully every bit of old paper that
happens to be left over from the documents Incl
dental to the preparation and binding of them.
When he wants patch, or needs to piece out
ragged edge he goes over his collection and picks
out suitable fragment.
When the Franklin papers first were restored
and arranged many of them were found to be in
a much-damaged condition, and an expert of the
British Museum employed to replace certain
missing words which had been eaten out by mice
1t is said that he paid for the work at the rate
of something like pound sterling letter; but he
earned the money, for he obliged not only to
insert missing fragments, but also to counterfeit
the writing OF the sage. His task performed
so beautifully as to leave visible trace.
A number of papers of the Washington collection,
of special and unique value, have been "inlaid,
a process which consists in splitting the edges of
the documents and guing these edges both sides
of the thinned margins of blank book pages cut out
to fit. The result is that each manuscript makes one
homogeneous sheet with the page into which it is
inserted. The last words written by George Wash
1ngton before he died have been treated in this way
and likewise the School Copy-book" the Rules
of Civility,'' and the memoranda composing the
U. S. in Account With George Washington"
The records and PAPERS of the Continental Con-
gress were deposited in the custody of the Secre-
tary OF State in 1889, when the Department of
fO1e1gn was created. All OF the other
documents, except those of Franklin, were pur-
chased by the Government from the heirs of their
original possessors those of Washington being
quired as far back 1884.
To the Franklin letters particularly interesting
history attaches. Temple Franklin, the natural
son of Frankins natural son William, received
from his grandfather all of the papers left by the
philosopher, inheritance. Dr. Franklin was
enormous writer all through his 1ife and the
manuscripts thus bequeathed voluminous
Not long after his death his grandson went to
England, taking with him large part of the docu-
ments in question. He resided for long time in
London, occupying rooms over the tailor's shop
aforementioned 1t his intention to publish
the papers, which he clipped and pasted in way
that subsequently cost vast deal of labor to undo
but, being exceedingly unbusinesslike, he
carried out the project and eventually, when he
had passed away the priceless literary treasures
were loosely bundled and thrown aside By

mens relating his generals and other subordinates
which passed through his hands These and
other papers relating to the Revolutionary War
make up thirty-seven volumes, upon which the
War Department at the present time is obliged to
depend mainly for information relating not only
to officers, but even to privates who fought in
that great conflict. The value of these military
manuscripts, of course, is incalculable not only
from historical point of view but also for pur-
poses of official reference.
When the Continental Congress handed over its
records to the newly created Department of Foreign
Affairs, by far the most valuable document trans
ferred was the Declaration of Independence If
this precious state paper had been of minor impor
'tance, 1t to-day would be in good condition as
when the signatures were appended. Jeffersons
original draft from which it copied, is perfect
to-day as II written months ago, the ink of the
writing being clear and black But unfortunately in
1923 somebody thought it would be good idea
to make copy of the famous proclamation of
freedom by copper-plate process, in order that
the heirs of each of the signers might have
a replica of it, and that was where the mischief
began.
Photolithography being art not yet invented
the experts employed to do the work knew no
better way than to lay upon the document damp
linen cloth, and after going the letters care
fully with a stylus to transfer the whole writing
to copper sheet. 1t done admirably, as one
may judge from the perfection of the copies IRE
produced from that sheet of copper which
everybody has seen. In fact, the replica was ex-
actly like the original, but the latter to great
tent was destroyed, the wetting having dissolved
the ink and damaged the parchment A gradual
deterioration followed and probably fastened
by the exposure of the manuscript for a long time
to brilliant light at the Patent Office, which at

in 1898 it was put away in the dark. 1t now lies

theless it still continues to fade and fears are en-

Much interest of romantic kind attaches to
these archives. For example, the papers of Ben
janin Franklin deemed priceless by historical stu
dents, were lost for many years, and were found
eventually by merest accident rolled up in a. bundle
a shelf in tailor's shop in London some of
them having been freely scissored for patterns
As might have been expected many of the
papers, particularly of the Washingtons,
in bad condition, and to restore them with
suitable arrangement and binding has been an
enormous task The work which is nearing
completion has occupied staff of experts at the
Department of State for more than dozen years.
