A Compromise Made for the Ryan
Daugherty Match.
Milwaukee, Wis. Jan. 27.-Joe Coffey
is to be referee of the Buddy Ryan
Jack DOugherty eight-round match in
this city next week. This was decided
on after the club managers had decided
to call the whole affair off because
Ryan objected to Malachy Hogan, the
club s regular referee.
1t was d decidedly attractive match
and Bright and Yea, the managers of
the club, did not like to lose it. All sorts
Of arguments We're used on Ryan to get
him to change his mind but to no avail
Then when Ryan said he was satisfied
to have the match fall through rather
than consent to Hogan officiating, the
managers changed their minds and Sc
cured Coffey as a substitute over the
lOng-distance telephone.
1t was stated here that Harlan yea
one of the boxing promoters here, is to
take charge of boxing club in Hot
Springs during the coming season at
the Arkansas resort and viii hold fights
there every two weeks. 1t is under
stood he will pick his principals from
among the best fighters in Milwaukee
and Chicago.

record for one mile and a quarter is

who would be mainly responsible for the success of this mighty engineering feat, and who has therefore a peculiar personal interest in judging alright, is emphatically and earnestly in favor of sea-level project.
 A careful study of the reports seems to establish strong probability that the following are the facts: The sea- level canal would be slightly less ex- posed to damage in the event of war; the running expenses, apart from the heavy cost of interest on the amount employed to build it, would be less; and for small ships the time of transit would probably be less. On the other hand, the lock canal at level of eighty feet or thereabouts would not cost much more than half as much to build, and could be built in about half the time, while there would be very much less risk connected with building it, and for large ships the transit would be quicker; while, taking into account the interest on the amount saved in building, the actual cost of maintenance would be less. After being built it would be easier to enlarge the lock can- al than the sea-level canal. Moreover, what has been actually demonstrated in making and operating the great lock canal the Soc, a more important ar tery of traffic than the great sea-level canal, the Suez, goes to support the opinion of the minority of the consult ing board of engineers and of the ma jofity of the Isthmian canal commis- sion as to the superior safety, feasibil- ity, and desirability of building a lock canal at Panama.
 The law now on our statute books seems to contemplate lock canal. In my judgment lock canal as herein recommended is advisable. If the con- gress directs that a sea-level canal be constructed, its direction will, of course, be carried out Otherwise the canal will be built on substantially the plan for a lock canal outlined in the accompanying papers, such changes be- ing made, of course, as may be found actually necessary; including possibly the change recommended by the secre- tary of war, as to the site of the dam on the Pacific side.

 SECRETARY TAFT'S LETTER.
 The letter of Secretary Taft treats at length the recommendations of the board and the commission, and discuss es the reasons why he is led to approve the construction of a lock canal instead of a sea-level canal In closing, he in- vites attention to the satisfactory char acter of the discussion of the two types of canal by the greatest canal engineers of the world" which, he says, insures to the president and to congress an opportunity to consider all the arguments, pro and con, in reach ing a proper conclusion.

NATURALNEss THE KEYNOTE.
Theme of Clyde Fitch in Talk Befor'

Theme of Clyde Fitch in Talk Before
 Yale Students.
 Before large audience of students in Lampson lyceum yesterday after noon, Clyde Fitch, introduced by Pro- lessor William Lyon Phelps of Ynle as the greatest living playwright in America" delivered an interesting talk on The Public and the Stage" MT. Fitch received an enthusiastic ovation from the students. He said in sub stance:
 Naturalness is the keynote of play writing The American public is de- manding plays about themselves, about their home life, plays with scenes laid in America. They are tired of plays founded on English lords and ladies, and on the French triangle model.
 There are no set rules for play-writ- ing. Naturalness is the great point. As Shakespeare puts 1t, to hold mir TOT up to nature" There are more dramatic scenes on the streets of a great city in twenty-four hours than are put on any stage in the world, Our modern life Is more varied, more conn plex than ever before.
 After the address banquet was giy- en in honor of Mir. Fitch at Professor Phelps home, with the Pundit club of Yale present as guests.

 George Nichols as Tom Sturgis, and Gertrude Fowler as Grace Barrett, the tavern keepers daughter, held the clos est attention of the audience, but two strapping St. Bernard dogs, which res- cue a child in bowling snowstorm, divided the applause with them. Still more applauded was the singing of Willie Nelson and Mellor Newman in the church scene. After all you can make a very interesting melodrama without laying the scene in either the "Tenderloin" or the slums of New York, or sprinkling it with sporting" characters. Perhaps the fact that "The Volunteer Organist' is such contrast to the ordinary melodrama is one of the reasons why it keeps the stage and it's audiences season after season.

ENTERTAINMENTS
Hyperion Theaten.

An infant prodigy, who was not per- mitted to let his talent run riot In in fancy but was restrained so that he was able to show it in years approach ing maturity, is Arthur Rubenstein, the young Polish pianist, who is to give a recital at the Hyperion theater next Wednesday evening, February 2l. This young man, whose genius has been thrown out from the repressed spirit of Poland, has had a most remarkable career.
 It was at the age of three when his parents, who lived in LodZ, called in Joachim to tell the what to do with the babe, who had overpoWered them with his evidence of musical ability. He surprised the master by transpos- ing a Brahms composition without notes. He was taken in hand by Jo- achim, and at four he gave public recital in Berlin that attracted wide att tention. At an age when most boys would be interested in mudpies he had made complete arrangement for the piano of Der Ring Des Nibelungen.

New Haven Theater.

If fun counts for anything then there are barrels of it in a pure and unadul- terated form served up at the New Ha- ven theater by the clever German com edians, Kolb and Dill, in their funny musical burlesque entitled, q. o. U.,' which was played before a crowded house last night The fun comes in all shapes7in jokes and songs, in dances and in comical situations, which abound in plenty all through the comedy. The music is catchy The songs are of a spirited and taking nature, the dances clever, and the ballet of pretty girls a spectacle of the most pleasing kind. The company is an excellent one, and it's work last night, which was of the highest order, drew forth repeated cur- tain calls and hearty applause.
 In the organization are such valued members as Miss Maud K. Williams, Francis K Lieo, Ben Dillon and Cross, together with a bevy of California pop pies, that go to make this company one of the strongest on tour in this coun- try.
 
 crowded houses for the next three per- formances, which take place tonight, and Wednesday matinee and evening.
 Patrons of the New Haven theater have bona fide treat in store for them Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights and at the holiday matinee Thursday and the regular matinee Saturday, on which dates the new production, "The Volunteer Organist," will be seen.
 It is a pastoral play of an extreme ly impressive sort, portraying true to nature scenes and characters found in the most picturesque of Vermont's ru- ral section.
 The scenic and electrical effects are, to say the least, startling and intense ly realistic, while the cast includes many capable and well-known actors and actresses. The play has, as one of it's central characters, a young minis ter and the story told is one which appeals very forcTbly to the better class of theatergoers. The Boston Tran script says of this productions:
 Those who went to the Grand Opera house last night to see "The Volunteer Organist" witnessed a pastoral drama in which there was happy blending of quaint philosophy, quiet humor and gentle sentiment, as one sees them among the people of Vermont--on the stage. The play is from. the pen of William B. Gray, runs in four acts, and tells a story of true love, whose course, according to proverbial under standing, does not run smooth; but as every cloud has it's silver lining, so as this play its happy ending, despite the darkness in which the hero and hero inc often find themselves sitting.
