American .,girl,. whom he saw on the stage of the New York theater when she was singing My Sambo." He failed in his attempts to meet her and declare his love and returning to Paris, has painted from memory picture of the actress as she appeared before the audiences. The portrait brings him fame and fortune. Then the girl visits Paris to introduce American ragtime and is met, wooed and won by the painter. But there are countless comical complications to prevent an ordinary love tale. Agents who insure people against un- happy marriages and flirtatious hrls- bands and wives; a strong woman of the circus, who wishes to become a grand prima donna; an excitable mas ter of the ballet; complacent. domes- ticated wife; and an impecunious col lege student; are among the characters who aid the fast and furious carnival of fun that holds sway during the per formance. Miss Tanguay, as the Sambo girl. is the central figure of the story and her unmatched viva city whirls the comedy along at top notch speed She contrives to keep her audience in the highest good hu- nor every minute she is on the stage and although her character necessi- tates twelve changes of costume. she manages by some feminine magic to slip away. doff one gown, don anoth- CT and be back in view of the audi ence in such wee bit of time that one is astounded at the rapidity with which the change of costume has been mnde. Gustave Kerker has supplied a whole lot of iingly music for the score and a half dozen other popular composers have contributed catchy numbers for interpolation. Some of the most whistleable of the melodies are: "I Don't Care" "The Artist and His Model" "I'm For You" The American Ragtime." My Ideal. "The Firefy." Banjo Serenade. Prom the Circus to Grand Opera. and "The Eva TaDguay Love Song. Prices are S1.5O. s1.oO, 75. 50 and 9 cents.

IN DEAD EARNEST.
President Will Push Freight
 Rate Supervision.
TOWNSEND TALKS WITH ROOSEVELT
Author of Esch-Townsend Bill Said That senate Committeesp spoaId Pre- pare and Report Hallway
 Tariff Measure.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-"President Roosevelt Is dead in earnest on the subject of railroad rate legislation and is just as determined as ever that legis- latlve regulations shall be enacted looking to federal supervision of the freight rate situation"
 This statement was made by Repre- sentative Townsend of Michigan, one of the authors of the so called Esch- Townsend railroad rate bill, which passed the house of representatives after a conference with President Roosevelt. The conference was the most interesting and important lately held at the White House. The presi- dent has taken up the subject of rail road freight rates with an earnest de- sire to reach such conclusion as will be satisfactory generally, but he ad- heres to the principle embodied in the legislation proposed at the last session of congress.
 Representative Townsend called to talk over the general subject with the president and of the necessity of mak- ing changes in the measure which he and Mir. Esch propose.
 Mir Esch notified the president that be could not be here at this time. but that Mir. Townsend did not have op- portunity to go fully into the subject with the president
 T have no authority to represent the presidents views as to railroad rates" said Mfr. Townsend, but I can say that he entertains now the same views in principle as he expressed in his mes sage last December. He believes that to either the interstate commerce com mission or to some other body ought to be given the authority to adjust rates found to be unreasonable. The crux of the whole matter is not that the commission should hx rates, but that it should have the power to sub stituts a reasonable rate for one found on investigation to be unjust. Without such authority the evils complained of could not be reached"
 Mfr. Townsend said 1t was expected that the senate committee on inter state commerce would prepare and re- port a measure to regulate freight rates.

oLssAN NOT INSANE.
Pittsburg Police Think Him Dnn-
 EerOus Anarchist.

<AhhEChhAsts
 PITTSBURG Oct. 5.-"There is ey. cry reason to believe that Anthony Olssan, the Swede now under arrest for the shooting of Hugh Hamilton of Greensboro, Pa, in the dining room of the Hotel Wilson here, is an anarchist and was on his way to Washington to make his second attempttoasspssin President Roosevelt. RF'fFREse 4t
 T do not think the prisoner is in sane. His eye is clear, and there is nothing about his appearance or actions that would lead one to believe that he is in any way demented.
 q think that when the whole story is told it will be found that he shot Hamilton as result of quarrel"
 This statement was made by Superin- tendent of Police Wallace after an ex- animation had been made of large number of papers found on Olssan Among these were letters bearing the postmark of Paterson, N. J., where many anarchists are known to make their headquarters. All the letters and other literature were in Swedish, and Superintendent Wallace will have them translated into English.

Trent, afterward Zira, is seen in the opening act as a nurse with a detach ment of British troops near Cape Town at the close of the Boer war Hester's father having neglected her in her youth she had become compromised through the deception of an army officer and had chosen the career of a nurse so as to build up a new life and a new hope for herself, but woman traveller, meeting Hester, recog and threatens to expose her. Sudden ly shell explodes near by, fragment striking the traveller Ruth Wilding, well played by Beverly Sitgreaves. Hester, believing her dead, takes the womans passport exchanges her nurses uniform for the travellers hat and cloak and leaves for Cape Town.
 Hester eventually reaches England, where she poses as Ruth Wilding, who when struck down by the shell was en route to England to live with wealthy relatives who had never seen her. Hester endears herself to the English family by her beauty of char acter, and she devotes her life to char i, table, work in the WhitechaDeL distEict.- She is assisting the Rev. Gordon Clay ering Crank Worthing) in conducting the mission house attached to St. Johns church, east end, London, who has fallen in love with her. All seems go- ing well with Helen when the real Ruth Wilding, having recovered from the wound in South Africa, appears.
 The scene between her and Hester, in which the Wildlng woman vows fearful vengeance because of the de ceptlon, is one of vivid portrayal as played by Miss Anglin and Miss Sit greaves. In plea for mercy and a. final desperate resolve to defy the new conner Miss Anglin carries the audi ence literally off its feet It is impos- sible to view unaffected this emotional climax. The potentiality of Miss An glin's art grips and holds one spell bound.
 In the end Hester marrles the min ister, who has fallen in i'll favor with the bishop of the diocese, the bishop of

 Rodgers and Tripp appeared at the courthouse. at the appointed time, and awaiting them in the sheriff's office was MT. Wheeler.

The war; rants, which had been drawn previous ly, were served, however, and Rodgers and Tripp were put In jail.

!" "Zira' 2 Hi.
Marg0yst Anglin Risss to Ne4O Emotional Heights Ln
 \ Artistic Play.

From Our New York Dramatic Corre-
 spondent.]
 Tn "Zira," at the Princess theater, New York has serious drama of con spicuous merit. The play, by Henry Miller and J. Hartley Manners, is one of absorbing interest and affords Mar garet Anglin an opportunity for effec- tive work such as greatly adds to her reputation as an emotional actress. Miss Anglin has never been seen to better advantage, and, while the theme of the play Is not new, she, aided by a well chosen cast, gives it distinction that has placed it well up in the list of recent dramatic successes. The play is founded on Wilkie Collins ''The New Magdalen."

No novelty that has been presented at the Jacques this season has created the interest evinced by the public in this weeks headliner. ''Creo." the ere atlOn of a woman out of plaster. wood and cloth. The discussion as tO how the trick is performed has as many phases as a political argument and the solutions of the mystery are many and terrible. It has even been said that the wOmanlike figure is really nothing but an automaton of clever cOnstruc- ton and that it is pushed up through a trap door in the stage when the atten- tion is diverted by the demOnstratOr's small talk. "CreO~ Is a real woman. and she does not come from a trap door either. That she is not visible when the transformation process be- gins Is evident to everyone. but low the change Is effected Is a secret that has been religiOusly guarded even from the stage crew The fact of importance remains that a transformation does take place and in a fashion that Is lit- tie short of uncanny- The cyclone Of laughter which was started Monday af- ternOon by George Hoey, Edith CroIius and Daniel Lswlor is~ still gathering sine and momentum as the sketch whats the Matter With Boston q has taken on the finishing touches There may be something the matter with Boston. but there iS nothing wrong with the skit unless It be that there gre too many laughs for comfort Mir Hoey's old sinner iS a creation that Is genuinely artistic. and Mfr Ilawfor has struck just the right note in the wor- rfed yonne husband Miss Crollus does the trusting wife ss she d0ez ev- erythinE-weIl.
