Against this element Mr.. Klein has
arrayed another force-that of love.
TO attain his ends in a scheme of CO.
lossal proportions. the money baron

remove him. Fearing disgrace. dishon-
or and poverty for her father. Shirley
Rossmore takes il upon herself to in
tercede. The son of the money baron
falls in love with Shirley and John
Burkett Ryder finds in her something
which he has never before found in
anyone and for which he has the
greatest admiration. absolute determin

house under an assumed name; he pro

serving the spirit of the book. Naria-
tons from the story as Mr. Major told
it have necessarily been made, but
they are slight, and their only effect
is TO compress and vivify the tale. 1t
is said by some that the story diverg-
es slightly from history. but be that rs

be enough to insure its success if there
were nothing more exciting and stir
ring in the play. Eight picked voices
have been rehearsing these songs all
summer. The songs were chosen ny
Mr.. Gilmore while at Yale, and picture
the student life there more clearly and
more strikingly than any other feature
could possibly DO. In addition to these
eight good men, Mr.. Gilmore himself
sings a very taking song in the first
act. and his leading lady sings another
in the last act. Intermissions between
the various acts are filed with music,
so that this new college play might be
termed a continuous performance
from the first curtain to the last. Those
who have seen the play describe it IS
the most stirring college drama that
has been Witnessed on the American
stage. The production is made by
Jules Murry in the most sumptuous
manner. The play will be seen here
soon.

PUBLIC WILL PAY
WESTERN UNIONS
SALARY ADVANCE
Toll Rates to Increase %
Per Cent Beginning
on Monday.

NEW YORK. March 30.-Imperative
demand was today filed upon the pub
lie by the Western Union Telegraph
Company TO make good the 10 per cent
salary increase which the company re
Gently granted its employees
I'VE raise your salaries. The public
pays"
How this motto works was made plain
today when announcement came that
beginning on Monday the Western
Union would advance toll rates about
% per cent on an average.
This will not only make UP for the
10 per cent increase in the employees
salary. but put an extra 10 per cent into
the companys pocket.
Hereafter ten words between New
York and Chicago will cost 80 instead
Of 40 cents. Similar increases are or
dered all around.
The Postal. it is understood, will fol-
low the Western Unions example. This
company also raised its men 10 per cent.
Local officials of the Western Union
stated today that they had received no
OFFICIAL information regarding an in
crease of rates. but were inclined TO
admit that such information was eX-
peCted.
When asked whether the proposed in
crease would affect rates 70 and from
Washington they said that IL UndOubt-
edly would, as the increase would be a
proportionate one throughout the eoun-
try
The local manager of the Postal Tele-
graph Gable Company says that he has
no information whatever that any
change in rates is 10 be announced by
his company
