HIGHWAY BILLS REPORTED.
Commissioners Favor Two Measures
Now Before Congress.

Favorable reports on two highway bills
have been forwarded to the District COM
mfttees in Congress by the Commissioners.
One of the proposed measures provides for
the opening of Fessenden street northwest
and for the extension of w and Adams
street. Fessenden street, q portion of
which passes through American University
Park. 1t is provided, shall be of a width of
100 feet and It is estimated that the cost
of the land will be $500, An additional
$500 will be necessary for grading the
new thoroughfare
The extensions of Adams and w streets,
the Commissioners think, will he of consid-
cradle local Importance because they will
allow access to the street car line on North
Capitol street to the residents living to the
west of the long block on North Capitol
street between street and Bryant street
The estimated cost of the land to be con-
demned for this Improvement is 5000, and
the bill provides that this shall be assessed
against AUDITING property. An appropria-
ton of 81, SEQ will be needed to bring the
proposed extensions to grade.

Columbia Theater.

Music of the light and sprightly sort and
a good supply Of mirth and frivolity fur
nished enjoyment for the large audience
that witnessed the first performance here
of Miss Dolly Dollars with Miss Lulu
CHASER in the title role at the Columbia
Theater last night. This new musical COM
edy is the product of Victor Herbert and
Harry B. Smith. AS a play 1t contains
nothing strikingly novel, since 1t follows
closely after the character of the conven-
tional musical pieces as to thread Of plot,
style Of complications and ludicrous situa-
lions; but the lbretttst has given to Miss
CHASER many really bright and clever lines,
which, accompanied by her Individual COM
edy methods, lure the auditors into bolster

aided and abetted in the merriment chiefly
by Mr.. r. Q. Herr In an amusing and dis
tfnct characterization of an educated fool

quently employed in musical comedes-the
chase of titled foreigners after American
dollars, as exempllfed in the person of
rich American heiress. Dolly Gay, the
daughter of a millionaire condensed soup
manufacturer, has been taken abroad by
her parents for the purpose of marrying her
off to a nobleman. The family rents villa,
which, for several years had been occupied
by Lord Birmingham. Complications are
produced by mixing the identity of Lord
Birmingham and F'inney Doolittle. his secre-
tary, but before the final curtain falls mat
tiers are set right and Dolly marries the
nobleman. There Is perhaps more than
enough talk in the piece devoted to the
automobile and motoring to suit the taste
of auditors who are not actively interested
in that form of recreation.
Miss Chaser was thoroughly enjoyable as
tho viynctous American girl, both in her
fun-makdng and in her songs, which she
sang with pleasing effect. Mr.. Herr, as
Finney Doollttle, made distinct hit in his
eccentric character portrayal, and was en-
/ cored many times on his song, IAN Edu-
Gated Fool" Capable performances were
given by Melville Stewart as Lord Burling-
ham, Charles Bradshaw as Samuel Gay, and
Thomas Whiffen as the manufacturers son.
The singing of the male chorus was espe-
cially good.

Death Of Capt. James Punch.

Capt. James Punch, an old and well
known steamboat master died at his home
on Prospect street, in George town, yester-
day, after an illness of several weeks of
kidney trouble. Capt. Punch had fol-
lowed the water In various steamboats,, and
sailing vessels on the Potomac for a num-
Der of years and his last active service was
as mate of the ferry steamer George Wash
ington. From the steamer he was trans
ferred to the ticket office, and was the
ticket agent of the old ferry company when
the George Washington was withdrawn
from the route more than a year ago. The
deceased was for number of years a
member of the local association of masters
and pilots of steam vessels, and had a.
host of friends along the river front AS a
mark of respect the flag on the Mariners
Temple, on Water street between NJ and n
streets southwest, was placed at half mast,
and the flags of many of the teamboats
are also halfmasted.

Belasco Theater.

"Adrea," the tragic play by David Be-
lasco and John Luther Long, which had Its
initial presentation under difficulties at Con-
vention Hall last year, with Mrs. Leslie
Carter in the title role, has returned to the
Belasco Theater for u weeks engagement.
As-lavish as was the stage investiture of
the play when first seen in Washington, 1t
Is today even more finished and complete as
a pictorial representation of the scenes of
the century in which Adrea, the blind and
pure; lula the wanton and beautiful; MI
mus the painted and hideous; Kaeso of
Noricum, the barbarian of ambitions and
Arkissus of Frisia, the faithful, worked out
the tragedy of their lives.
1t would not be fair to say that Mrs. Car
ters dellneation of the character of Adrea
has strengthened through repetition. At
that first performance of the play last year
Mrs. Carter climbed to the summit of her
art, To say, in speaking of last nights per-
1ormance, that her role has lost nothing of
its strength, OF its subtle appeal to the
heart and its stronger claim upon the emo
tons, is to give sincerest praise where
praise IS due.

A most excellent company of players was

thing. an incarnation of barbaric immo-
rality, of primitive passions and ambitions
The great black bearskin that graced his
shoulders, the jangling pendants that chung
to bronzed and hardened limbs, the great
stones that flashed in settings crude at
ankle and at elbow, were made to seem his
usual and fitting dress. Arkissus of Frisia
was played by Charles A. Stevenson, who
has been with Mrs. Carter for many years
His work was excellent.
Francis Powers the Minnie ba Eoho
fool in the house of lula, the wanton and
his work as this hideous human mask was
clever and graphic. Corah Adams as Ju-
liza gave an excellent performance. The
cast is large and each and every part was
capably played last night.
The waits between the acts We're rather
long, but the large and distinguished au-
dience apparently felt repaid for the delay
when the curtain rose on each succeed
ing scene. There was a wealth of scenic
and property detail, the atmosphere of the
day and time being carried out with all
the art and resources of stagecraft.

T q E T Il E A T E R.
New National Theater.

Mr.. e. s. Willard, whose appearance at
tie New National Theater last night was
greeted by a representative Washington au-
dience, has done much for the stage In
many ways. Not only has he realized some
of the most interesting characters in stand
ard fiction. such. for instance, as Tom
Pinch, and, strongly contrasted to 1t, Bur-
tuccio, but he has from time to time, made
original productions which, in large num-
Der of instances, have become established
features in the actors repertory. Whether
''rhe Man Who Was" a one-act play made
from Rudyard kiplings story of the same
title, and seen for the first time in this city
last night, will be such a permanency can,
of course, be determined only by the future.
1t appeals to something more serious In the
mind than the desire for diversion. Inc
central character is most pathetic picture
OF a soldier, who, having, for the honor OF
his regiment become an exile to Siberia,
returns emaciated and babbling of speech
to the military surroundings OF his youth.
Straying into his old quarters, almost as q
pursued and hungry animal might make his
way there he establishes his identity by his
instructive recognition Of traditions which
are his regiments cherished and exclusive
property 1t is upon this one figure, and a
most thrilling figure 1t Is, that the entire
interest of the piece is concentrated, not
withstanding the fact that the cast employs
quite numerous company. There IS
faint suggestion OF love STORY. Dut IL iauCS
out of attention completely, and the VII
lain is dismissed with far milder penalty
than poetic Justice would demand. But the
central idea of the piece is brought out
clearly and boldly, with tragic intensity,
by the performance of Mr. Willard. ana
the dramatic elements which he supplies
are sufficient to compensate for the lack or
plot and climax.
"The Man Who Was is preceded by one
of the established favorites in the roper
tories of Mr. Willard and a number Of other
actors David Garrick.'' 1t is one of the
test plays which enable a player of serious
parts to demonstrate without loss OF Dig
nifty, that he has the gift of low comedy ana
character personation. The appeal from
David Garrick sober, to David Carrier,
drunk, is one which gives scope for the
widest possible histrionic range. Mr.. VIII
lard plays the title role with an accurate
and well-measured artistic method that
means absolute security in the attainment
of his effects There is no excess of tenn
peramental ebullition In his FOSTERING
scenes nor are the serious portions too Sc
date. 1t is a well-rounded and thoroughly
studied characterized ton. The subordinate
roles were portrayed in several instances
with a dash of caricature which made them
amusing. The interest of both perform
ances, however, depends almost entirely
upon Mr.. Wizards individual interpreta-
ton,

FIRE ENGINE UPsETs
ENGINEER LAMBERT SERIOUSLY
HURT WHILE ON WAY TO FIRE.

While responding to an alarm of fire that
had been turned in from box GIG this morn
Ing about o'clocF the engine belonging

was driving the three spirited horses at
tached to the heavy vehicle. Lambert sus-
tanned fracture of one rib on his right
side and his left leg was badly bruised.
The ambulance was summoned from the
Casualty Hospital and the injured man was
removed to that institution. 1t was feared
that he had sustained serious and possibly
fatal injuries when he was picked up by
other members of the department and pc
destrians who happened to be near 7th and
III streets at the time of the accident, but
DIR. Hayes, hospital surgeon, reports to the
contrary, although the engineer will not be
able to return to duty for several days.
The engine was slightly damaged and will
have to be taken to the shop to be repaired.
The fire to which the company was re-
spending occurred in the chimney at the
house of Armstead Ransom, 1918 Wylie
street northeast An alarm was turned in
by a neighbor because it was feared the
house was in danger of being destroyed.
No. 3 engine company, composed of an
engine and hose carriage left the quar-
tiers near Delaware avenue and G. street
northeast and followed the usual run to

Brake Was Useless.
Because of the slippery condition of the
street, the engineer, who was driving, was
unable to use the brake on the vehicle.
The horses drawing the engine were in
clined to be even more spirited than usual
because of the cold weather and it was
with great difficulty that Engineer Lam
bert was able to keep them in check. When
the corner of 18th and III streets was reach
horses were not going at their usual fast
the engineer knew would mean danger to
the horses and vehicle and so he attempted
to make the turn without their assistance,
but the condition of the pavement caused
the engine to slide and go against a tree.
The vehicle was overturned and Engineer
Lambert was thrown, with the result stated
The horses were promptly stopped and held
until members of the company, who were
riding upon the hose carriage, returned and
took charge 1t took but short time to
put the engine right side up, and it was
then taken back to the quarters Of the
company.
1t was not until after the hose carriage
had reached the scene of the blaze that the
firemen learned of the accident. AS their
services were not needed at the fire they
returned to It'll and II streets and took
hand in the work of getting the engine IN
shape to return to the home of the COM
pany. The fire caused very sight dam
