RULE TO SHOW CAUSE.
Steamboat Company Cited in Case OF
Alleged Discrimination.

Chief Justice Clabaugh yesterday issued a
rule against the Norfolk and Washington
Steamboat Company to show cause Friday
next why an injunction should not be
granted to prevent it's agents from declin-
ing to accept Samuel Wasserman as pas
senger on any of the company's boats ply
ing between Washington and Norfolk
Inc citation Is based on a petition filed
by Mr.. Wasserman, who is hotel solicitor
In which he declares that the 4th instant
ne purchased ticket a flrst-class pas
senger from the company, paid the price
and started to board the steamer Newport
News at the local wharf to be convened
to Norfolk The company's officers and
agents, he states, declined to accept him
as passenger on the ground that he is
sohcltor. not alleging anything personal
against him or saying anything derogatory
TO the house represented by him." This
refusal to transport him, he declares yio-
lates his right as citizen, the company
holding Itself out a common carrier
Mr. Wasserman says he had previously
been allowed to ride the company's
steamers, and alleges that the object of the
company in depriving him of his privilege
to ride was for the purpose of dscriminat-
ing against him in favor Of certain
named solicitor, whom the company allowed
to solicit guests on their boats
The petition of Mr.. Wasserman is accom-
panied by the affidavit of Frederick a
Gardner, another hotel solicitor, who sets
forth similar experience in being refused
transportation.

New National.

Responding to applause and calls that
might reasonably be classed as an ovation
George M. Cohan In characteristic manner
last evening at the New National Theater
urged large audience not to regard him
seriously either as a playwright or must
clan. His purpose and ambition he ex-
planned, is merely to amuse The latter he
did with his latest offering, Fifty Miles
From Boston," whatever else may be said
of the production. The new musical play"
appeals for attention most decidedly, per-
haps, because 1t Is unlike the Conan efforts
that have preceded 1t. In brief, it is
melodrama, with music. including a village
brass band. The hero and the heroine are
there. and, Of course, the villain. The bad
man is determined to marry the heroine at
any cost. To further his ends he induces
the brother of the heroine, an employe of
the post office Of which the heroine is
postmistress, to use 500 Of government
funds with which to bet on the result of a
base ball game. AS might be expected in
play, the money is lost, the post office in
spector is due to arrive the following day
the villain announces that the brother will
go to Jail unless the heroine gives up the
hero, and the situation is Just dreadful for
q. while. The opportune destruction of the
post office building by fire and other timely
events bring about the usual thwartng of
the villain. and all ends happily. The har-
rowing features are kept in the back
ground, and, with comedy and music
things move along with spirit The author
as a Harvard student, who has Just at
tanned prominence by winning a base ball
game for the varsity team, has a character
built to order for himself. Edna Wallace
Hopper plays the heroine. The cast also
includes Emma Janvier and Fritz WILL
lams, and, worthy of remark. Russell Pin
Gus, who portrays just an ordinary country
town boy. The title of the play is derived
from the fact that the events are supposed
to occur at Brookfield, Mass, half hun
dred miles from the Hub. The production
is well supplied with musical selections by
the author which possess a swing and set
the audience whistlng. The chorus, while
not as numerous as in other Conan shows
does all that is required OF it.

WANT IMPROVEMENTS.
Citizens File Requests With the Dis
trict Commissioners.

In anticipation of the assembling of the
SiXtieth Congress the District Commission
ers are receiving many requests and petit
tions from citizens associations, business
men, property owners and other individ-
uals for improvements in certain sections Of
the city. All of these petitioners ask that
the Commissioners include their particular
request in the annual estimates.
Aside from the many new requests that
are being received daily the Commissioners
have also on hand hundreds of requests for
improvements that were filed during the
past year or so, some as far back as six
years ago. All of these requests when re-
ceived at the District building are put in
what is known as the Improvement file,
for future consideration
In considering what improvements to ask
Congress for, the Commissioners will go
over all of the old and new requests and
pick from the most deserving and practi-
cable.
Among some of the requests and petit
lions for improvements received within the
past three days are:
A petition signed by fifty property owners
and residents in Deanwood, Fairmont, Cap
itOl Heights and East Deanwood asking
that street be opened from Minnesota ave-
nue. to the District line northeast. Accord
ing to Capt Morrow, Engineer Commits
siner this request will be denied for sew
eral years to come. Commissioner Morrow
explained that this street is the least ad
vantageously situated thoroughfare on the
street extension plan for that section Of
the District, following as 1t does, for dis
tance of almost mile. the bed of a large
stream, which practically removes the
question of improving the street from con-
sideration. He also explained that this re-
quest has been previously disapproved by
the Commissioners, and that the right Of
way is not entirely owned by the District
and any work of improvement would have
to be preceded by dedication or condemna-
ton.
John R. Sturgis of 1914 Florida avenue
northeast requests that the triangular
space at the intersection of Florida ave-
nue. and l street northeast be improved for
parking space Mr.. Sturgis will be notified
that the space in question is government
reservation over which the Commissioners
have no Jurisdiction and that the proper
authority to apply to is Col. Charles s..
Cromwell, who is in charge of public build
ings and grounds
Daniel w. O'Donoghue, 412 9Th street
northwest, has asked if the Commissioners
will this year make any effort to improve
Seaton street between Lincoln avenue and
I'd street northeast. He will be informed
that the Commissioners have ordered the
laying of a public service sewer to serve
the property in question, and that the work
VIII be probably undertaken late In the
fall.

Chase's.

The varied program at Chase's Theater
was enjoyed by a large audience last night
The military men in attendance were es-
pecially interested in the amazing rifle
shooting of Frank McCrea, who Is unques-
tionably one of the best rife shots in the
world. He was assisted by Roy Poole
known as the man with the iron nerve
AS the matter of target practice in the reg
ular army and the national guard is just
now very much in the public eye, this act
was heartily appreciated. The local hits In
Jack Norworths topical song caused the
laughter and applause which are always
expected in that kind of material. La Petite
Mignon in her life pictures of noted stars
won repeated encores. Irene Franklin fur
nished musical act, assisted by Burt
Green which gained warm approval. The
little farce, "a Bachelors Wife," John c.
Rice, Sally Cohen and Royce Attn in the
cast was not only fun producer, but con-
veyed several lessons with morals attached.
The Ellis-Nowlan Company presented a
hurly-burly of eccentric and acrooatic fun
and the talking and tumbling comedians,
Marion and Pearl, kept the audience in con-
tlnuouS laughter.

New Academy.

A large audience witnessed the production
of Broadway After Dark at the Academy
last night. AS indicated by its title the
play is stirring melodrama. Action and
incident prevail at every turn. Foremost
among these is the daring rescue of the
heroine by her lover who made a blood
curling leap from a neighboring roof to
the belfry of Trinity Church. Many Of the
lines spoken thereafter were lost in the
thunderous applause of the audience.
The comedy interest is principally in the
hands of Mr.. Harry Fields. Chief among
his specialties is an impersonation of David
Wartield in the second act of THE Music
Master Other specalties were offered by
different members Of the cast, including
some clever limitations of stage celebrities
Mildred Stoller plays the role of Myra
Hager.

Majestic.

The Gates of Justice" was presented
last evening by Kathryn Purnel and her
company. Seldom has Miss Purnell been
seen to better advantage. Her role, that
of Rex Alden, has abundant opportuni-
ties, of which she rarely fails to make the
best.
The piece is more or less incorrectly term
ed comedy-drama, although it is well
sprinkled with comedy, which is handled
deftly by Harry {. Bewley in the character
of Woeful Danger; nor does it lack the
accustomed character SO necessary to a
western drama. The villain is well played
by Arthur Pickens. Numerous other desper-
ate characters are portrayed by w. S.
James, Ed Redding, Luther Hale and AL
Roberts A few members of the company
are left to play heroes and heroines among
which are Helen Hyle, Franklyn Munnel
and w. Jeff murphy.

THE THEAT E R.
Columbia,

THE Boys of Company B" is another of
the plays of juvenile life which Rider john
son Young has been placing before the pub
lie since the College Widow" called at
tention to the possibilities of the ''rah-rah-
rah' drama. Its performance at the Co.
lumbia Theater last night was an occasion
OF genuine enjoyment. The play is SYM
pathetic study of youth, with all its gen.
erous impulses, it's pastimes and its TRACE
dles sometimes the sentiment is frankly
calioW, but 1t is the more genuine on that
account. The boys of Company B are
wholesome, hearty youngsters who are well
worth knowing; young gentlemen whose
nigh spirits are infectious and exhilarating
yet free from the boisterous ruffianism
Whic. is sometimes mistaken for fledgling
humor' 1t is full Of the touches of nature
which make the whole world kin. The
youthful love affairs of Tony Allen take
on so much vivid interest that the auditor
waits with almost as much eager suspense
Tor the denouement II he were watching
a Sardou drama. OF course there are old
friends In the story; the scheming mother
who wants to make a rich match; the
young man whose wealth has encouraged
MN IN Self-eSteem until he becomes insult
ferable; the midd. aged husband who seeks
domestic peace al any price, and, of course
the young man and the young woman
whose encouragement and reconciliation be-
come the all-absorbing topic of the hour.
Then there is that old acquaintance of
sunny remembrance, the uncle who al
though brusque and ilIiberal in his at
tituoe toward his nephew, turns up at
the critical moment with checkbook wide
open and heart big as d barrel.
mere is also quartet
All these characters contribute to the
complexities of situation which sur
round Mr. Tony Allen, young man OF
innate good breeding, leisurely Instincts
ana attractive personality, portrayed by
MT John barrymore, who meets the re-
Qulrements OF the role as above indi-
Gated, with admirable sufficiency Mr.
barrymore has a certain nervous quality
winch indicates sense of artistic re-
spons1bli1ty, but which never leaves him
III at ease or takes him out of the at
mosphere of his scenes. He is perhaps
the most promising actor of the younger
generation in the portrayal of the more
polished and well-bred types of society
with no affectations Of speech, his enun-
citation is distinct and his voice agree
able Yet he is of the modern world,
Tree from cant, and with a way Of slip
ping into slang of the day every now
and then which suggests that some of
MS lines are personal interpretations.
The incidents of the story are ingen-
1ously interviewer, without being unduly
complex for an evening of light diver
sion. 1t has no problems, no deep-dyed
villains and no hysterical heroines; and
its sunshiny mood is reflected in the
faces of the auditors as they file out Of
the theater when the play is over.
