PHILADELPHIA HOT
 OVER THE CLANSMAN
RIOT CALL IS TURNED IN TO CON. TRoL THE GREAT .THRoNo oF NEGROES WHO WANTED TO SEE THE PLAY

Philadelphia, october 22.-Under most unusual conditions The Clansmann was presented here tonight at the Walnut Street theatre. The negro clergy of the city had made formal protest to Mayor Weaver against the production. claiming that "lynchings have been encouraged by the play" The Mayor refused to take any action. About half an hour before the theatre opened Ninth and Walnut streets where the playhouse is located were packed with colored people.
 Director of Public Safety Kenna. who had hastened to the scene. begged the ministers to disperse the mob.
 A riot call was sent in and patrol wag- ons brought half a hundred policemen to the theatre
 The coored ministers surrounded Diree- tor Kenna and demanded that he stop the play The director delivered a brief speech asking the crowd to disperse. and saying that he would endeaver to have the presentation discontinued after to- night This seemed to have a soothing effect, and the crowd slowly scattered.
 Early in the evening a negro man att tempted to create disturbance in the theatre. He was arrested, but the police had considerable difficulty in rescung- him from the crowd in the gallery.

PROVINCIAL BOARDS
 CAUSE SATISFACTION
They Will Give FIlpinos Greater Voice In Managing Their Own
 Affairs.

Manila, October 22.-The native press is jubilant over the proposed changes in provincial boards and declare faith in the promises of the government. Some give credit to Governor General Smith for the results of the assembly of governors. Foreigners, however, are withholding their opinions of the assembly's recom- mendations. The native papers believe the proposed changes will be beneficial at this time, and that Congress will approve of the suggested changes. The governors as- sembly also recommends that Filipnos be made assistants to the heads of bureau departments. and that governors and mus nicipal presidents be given the power to pardon in cases not involving fines in ex- cess of 200 pesos. Minor recommendations are also made.
 The chief recommendation of the gov- ernor's assembly is that the many selec- tfons of the provincial boards of govern ment be altered and that several of the members be elected instead of being ap- pointed by the insular government. These members are now Americans. Under the proposed order Filipinos will be chosen for these offices. thus giving Filipnos control of the boards.

ADJUSTMENTS.
"The Woman in the Case

The playgoers of Birmingham filled every seat at the Jefferson last night to see Blanche Walsh as Margaret Rolfe in Clyde Fitch's play, "The Woman in the Case" It is not too much to say that she fully met their expectations, and they evlnced their pleasure and deep satisfac- ton in frequent applause and curtain calls
 Margaret Wolfe is a wife who loves her husband deeply-so deeply that she will listen to no charge against him. lie stands charged with unfaithfulness and with murder, but her faith in him is so supreme and controlling that she rejects them all and proceeds with all tact, strength and skill to prove him innocent. She is supreme throughout the play. She Is the play always magnetic and soul satisfying but in the third act she reached climax that fairly thrilled the audience. and that toe, without any exaggeration or overaoting on her part. She presented a picture of faithful and devoted wife. and her victory at the end when her husband stood vindicated through her eff forts, sent the audience away doubly pleased with the play and the player.
 Miss Walsh left little room for the rest of the company, although all did their Foster, "the woman in the case" was ex- cellent. and no fault could be found with the rest of the cast.

 The performance was greatly enjoyed last night. if one is to judge by the laugh ter and applause. The piclanninles con tributed an especially pleasnig part of the entertainment. There are about twen- -ty of these negro revelers in the com- pany. They execute a variety of clever dances and furnish good music. The brass band is prominent in the performance. The frolie of the pekaninnies in the sec- ond act enlivened matters considerably.
 The play is well staged and fairly well acted All the scenery, while familiar to most patrons of the theatre is so good that one enjoys seeing It again. especial ly the mountain scene. the race track scene just before the race, and at the conclusion of the great contest in which Queen Bess is ridden to victory by the mountain maid. The production as a whole is excellent Queen Bess had a share in the applause also.
 In the company Bert G. Clark as Colonel Doollttle and Charles R.. French as Uncle Neb were both entirely pleasing. Me srs Clark and French have played their re- spectlye roles for some time past and are capable. Uncle Neb added much to the comedy while Colonel Doolitte proved to be as diverting as ever.

COST OF INSURANCE
 PLACED TOO HIGH
Special Committee Appointed By Indi. ana Governor Makes Report on
 insurance Matters.

Indianapolis, october 22-A special com mittee appointed by the governor. which has been Investigating the office of the auditor of the state for a year, with spe- cial reference to mutual aid stock life insurance companies, today submitted it's report to Governor Hanly. The general conclusions of the committee are that the "cost of life insurance to the public is too high"
 The present maximum premium rates for insurance are so much in excess of needs as to permit of extrayagant management of companies, theft of their funds, diversion of profits and other great abuses without rendering the companies insolvent. lntiana insurance companies, like many companies of other states, have been guilty of eXtravagances and abuses, though they have maintained solvency. There is no real difference in essen tials between insurance business and other business and no reason why it should not be conducted on a sound. economical basis, according to definite principles. Indiana should not seek to protect home companies that are guilty of abuses, but should, by stIfcter laws, and better support of the insurance department, fos- ter insurance on sound basis and bring to this section business that has been going to companies of other states"
