There are happy indications that
the American stage is passing into
an era of good taste after period
of costly tawdriness. In three. at
least, OF the productions that are Of
real interest this season, the scenes
are sim l, in design. elaborate only
enough to create Illusion. and though
every artistic detail is generously
supplied, the settings and costumes
are limited to their proper function
OF forming a harmonious frame and
background for the ators and the
action.
Such praise could not have been
given honestly season or two ago.

trifles with real melodies. We we're
told of $4,000 and 5000 produc-
tions: We saw the stage filled with
scenery that dwarfed the acting. and
crowded with armies OF supernumer.

the atmosphere was so thick with
money that art choked and public
appreciation of the beautiful had an

About the time that people were
yawning az productions that would

years earlier, came the remarkable

that called for casts of only half a

the managers awakened 10 the fact

ALLISON AMENDMENTS
 BOLDLY SUPPORTED
Not Counting La Toilette Who Stands
 With the Minority.

Washington. May 12-The senate proceedings today were devoted to the rate bill. and they included many in- teresting and some sensational fea- lures. The actual accomplishments of the day consisted in the completion of the consideration Of the Allison amend ment covering the provision for re- view by the courts.
 There were several of these P-ovis- ions and all were accepted as present. ed or suggested by the Iowa senator, showing an almost perfect agreement among republican senators. Indeed one Of the noteworthy features of the day was the practical unanimity of the republicans. They not only voted al most solidly for the Allison amend ments. but were just as nearly united against opposing propositions. Senator LaFollette continued to act with the democrats. When an adjournment was reached there was still a prospect of much debate for next week.

THE STANDARDS CRIMES.
Wholesale Bribery of Competitors
 Empioyes Resorted To.

Chicago. May 12.-The investigation of the interstate commerce commission into the relations between the Stand ard oil company and the railroads was concluded this afternoon as far as this section of the country is concern ed and will be resumed in Cleveland May 24th. F. s. Hibbs of Peoria, who was for thirteen years in the employ of the Standard oil company. was the star witness of the day. He demon strated now the agents of the oil company were accustomed to trick customers into thinking that the pro duct of their company was superior when in fact it was inferior to the product of the independent companies He give the names of men whom he had bribed to give information of the business of competitors. and on cross examination declared "the Standard oil company is doing all Of these things today"
 Other witnesses told of bribing em- ployes of railroads and manufacturing companies and one instance was relat- ed where a wire and nail mill in In diana was compelled to shut down be- cause grit had been placed in the oil purchased of an independent concern, at the instance of a salesman of the Standard Oil company.

New Arrangement in San Francisco Works
 We'll Both Ways
The Crusade Against the Dispensing of Liquor to Private Clubs-Enforcement of the Most Rigid Public Economy Becomes Necessary.

San Francisco, May 12.-A novel method of stamping out the evil of footing, which had been on the increase despite the stern measures taken by the civil and military authorities. has been inaugurated by Chief of Police Dinan. That official has issued an or der that whenever a loOter is caught he is to be put in a squad under the command of Detective Sergeant Char les Tylor. The members of the squad are compelled to labor at clearing away the debris. Already Sergeant Tylor has seventy-five men under him, and the number is constantly growing. The taskmaster of this chain gang is given discretionary powers as to the term each of the members shall serve. AL ready the streets about Portsmouth square and the hall of justice are be- ginning to assume their old-time ap- pearance of cIeanlinesss, the result of the work of the captured looters. Chief Dinan believes that when the existence of Sergeant Tylor's army becomes gen orally known, footing will greatly de- crease.
 The liquor question was again dis cussed today by the authorities, and it has been proposed that the charter ot the city be amended so that the license which has heretofore been $1OO a year be raised t0 $500. Before the fire there were 1000 saloons in this city. and 1t is believed the increased license will re- duce this number to 1000 without fir any way diminishing the revenues oi the city. Today the board of police commissioners issued an order that al private clubs cease dispensing liquor to members.
 Most of those burned out have se- cured temporary quarters in the un- burned section. 4 proclamation ha. been issued by Mayor Schmitz direct ing that all refugees be concentrated 1T two great camps, one to be located 1T the Potrero, on the south side of tho city, and the other at Golden Gate park. This action has been made nee essary for sanitary reasons. as military discipline must prevail in the tented cities if the health of the inmates is [, be preserved.

COMPLETE
 COLLAPSE
Of Turkeys Defiance of
 Great Britain
The Surrender Is SOftened for the Ears Of the Turkish People by the Word Conditional.

London. May 12.-In a manner char acteristic of TurkisL diplomacy the porte has made an eleventh hour sur render to the British demand concern ing the Tabah boundary. IL had been believed in many quarters that the sui tan would not yield until actual force was displayed, but his decision prob ably was hastened by the knowledge that none of the powers supported his attitude and the combined fact that British naval preparations had kept pace with diplomatic demands.
 Sir Nicholas R. O'Connor, British am bassador at Constantinople, in his earlier dispatches had prepared the British government for Turkeys com pliance with it's demand and litt;e at tention need be paid to representations of the conditional surrender. that phrase probably being intended to sat isfy the Turkish people.
 At the foreign office tonight the As sociated Press learned that it was quite unlikely that Great Britain would ac- cept anything in the nature of a mixed or international commission to examine into the frontier question and the for eign office declined to believe that Am
 bassador O'Connor had accepted any conditional" surrender.
 It is understood that the British fleet will be kept at Phalarum bay pending a final settlement Of the question and the delimitation of the frontier. Vice Admiral Lord Charles Beresford commanding the fleet. with
 his officers, was able tonight to attend banquet at the British legation at
 Athens. at which King George and the royal family. the Greek premier and American and French ministers were guests.
 When the delimitation of the bound ary is settled it is expected that the British government will take measures to render Egypt strategical'y secure against any similar aggression by es- ltablishing a strong Egyptian garrison and fortifying Elarish, and if the water difficulty in the desert region can bs solved. by placing Egyptian garrisOns at points on the desert routes from Tabah and Gaza along which an in- vading army might threaten the Sue2 canal It is also not unlikely that Great Britain will demand the with drawal of the Turkish commission al Cairo Ghazi Ahmet Moukhtar Pasha

Washington, May 12.-In one of the bitterest attacks that has been made upon President Roosevelt during the debate on the railroad rate bill, Sen ator Bailey charged that the executive had surrendered his position of advO- eating "an effective measure" and had abandoned his demands for tariff re- vision. The Texas senator charged that the presidents arraignment of trusts had been made after his cleo tion and that before that time ne had been as silent as the grave" on the subject of regulating the railroads.
 The senator closed with this state ment: But let us have no more talk in the senate and no more talk in the country about this iron man. He is clay and very common clay, at that"
 The speech was in reply to Senator Carter, who had defended the presi- dent against criticisms saying that no one could charge him with cOwaTdice. In the course of nis remarks Senator Carter referred to the democratic par ty as party of negatiOn and nothing more. He declared that the party
 
 prospect of action. He charged that neither Senators Bailey nor Rayner in all their congressional career had dOna anything to secure effective railroad rate legislation.
 When Senator Bailey gained the floor he charged that the Montana senator's ebullition was due to the fact that he had not been mentioned by Senator Rayner in his speech yester- day as one of the presidents special ambassadors. He defended his own record on the ground that during his congressional service his party had been in power only the first four years. If, during the time the demo- crats were in the minority, ne had in troduced a bill to regulate the rail- roads the senator said, he would have been performing an act of buncombe. He repeated his charges of mconsist- ency on the part of the president in the legislative program, saying that the absolute rate first contended for had been deserted for the maximum rate" and that the president had changed his position on the subject of suspension of rates pending a reversal by the courts.
 Taking up a statement made by Senator Carter that the president had during his campaign for the presiden- cy. displayed matchless courage in defying the railroad power of tnc country, Senator Bailey said of the presidents attitude in that election: Has the senator from Montana exam ined the record on that question as he did that of the senators from Mary land and Mississippi? What will the senate say when I tell the senator from Montana that in his messa ges in 1902, and 1903 the president was as silent as the grave upon the question of regulating the railroads; that standing in the presence of the Amer ican people, pending the great con- test of 1904, he spoke never a word in it's favor either in his letter of ac- ceptance or in his speech of accept ance.
 "Only after his election in 1904, did he challenge the railroad powers to mortal combat. Did the senator from Montana know that when he declared that the president had exercised mar vellous courage in defying it prior to his election 2"
 Senator Carter replied that in a pub lie address delivered in the city of
