TEMPORARILY ABANDONED.
Erection of Chapel at Government
HOSPITAL for the insane

The proposed erection of the new assem-
bly, hall or chapel building at the Govern
ment Hospital for the Insane has been
abandoned for this year at least, according
to DR.. Maurice J. Stack, who is acting su-
perintendent of that institution Turing the
absence Of DR.. White. The reason for the
abandonment of the construction was stated
to be because where's Congress appro-
priated $4,000 for the new building, the
lowest bid for the work was more than
100000.
1t Is proposed that the structure shall &C
commodate 800 persons, and 1t was stated
that to attempt to erect the building with
a sum OF $4,000 short Of the lowest bid
would be to erect an unsatisfactory edifice
without the fireproofng feature. 1t is there
fore the intention Of the authorities to go
back to Congress next winter and ask for
an additional appropriation to cover the de-
fciency.
1t was intended that the work should
have been commenced July /, and the plans
had been completed In the me antme the
old chapel will still be used. It is on the
third floor of the old center bu Hiding and
iE said to be not Of the safest CT aracter for
the demented inmates Of the hospital to as
semble in.
The proposed chapel is to be located near
the administration building on a plot of
ground that has been mapped out on the
central plateau.

THE THEAT E R.
Columbia.

The closing week Of the summer stock
company at the Columbia Theater is
marked by the presentation of Arthur w.
Pinero's sparkling comedy THE Amazons''
in three acts. The play Is light and sum-
nerish and well adapted to the prevailing
tropical weather. Notwithstanding the OPP
pressiveness of the atmosphere on the out
side last night, the interior Of the popular
playhouse, with its electric fans and wide
open doors and windows, was as cool and
pleasant as a sylvan retreat.
THE Amazons" is described as one of
Pinero's cleverest plays, and as presented
freshingly enjoyable. 1t was originally
produced in this country by Daniel Froh-
man, With Georgia Cayvan and Isabel Irv-
Ing In the roles which were last night in
terpreted by Miss Charlotte Walker and
Miss Hilda Spong, with Miss Fanny Hartz
as very acceptable third. The theme Of
the comedy deals with Miriam. Mar
chloness Of Castlejordan, an English lady,
who, possessed Of three daughters, is con-
stantly lamenting because she has not a
son. She wishes the girls were boys, and
bemoans the fact that her home, Overcote
Park, is an Adamless Eden.
The three daughters are reared man.
nishly. and attired in bloomer costume
they are required to conduct themselves
like young men Of that period. They adj
dress each other as fellows" and brother
ana 90 all manner Oh Hdle STUNTS, IN
Guiding hunting, boxing, gymnastics and
similar things. Finally, they come in
contact with real men and are brought to
realization that they are, after all. real
women instead Of make-believe youths.
The inevitable occurs when they fall in
love with the men. The action Of the
play Is marked by a number of clever
and amusing situations throughout, caus-
ing hearty peals of laughter from the
audience, and several curtain calls.
The three Amazon daughters are por-
trayed by Misses Charlotte Walker, Hilda
Spong and Fanny Hartz. Miss Walker
gave a most pleasing Interpretation Of
Lady Tom, and by her natural vivacity
and charming personality completely won
the audience. Miss Spong, in the more
est son-daughter, gave a splendid por-
traya1 Of the part, sustaining her repu-
tation as an emotional actress. Miss
Hartz as Lady Bill, the youngest of the
Amazons, gave very clever presenta-
ton of the character, and won merited
applause. Walter Howe, as Andre, Count
de Grival, an erratic and comical French
man, was clearly the comedian of the
play, and caused much amusement by
his twisting of English proverbs and
his osculatory demonstrations toward his
companion, Galfred, Earl Of Tweenways,
which part was cleverly taken by Guy
ceptable Darlington, Viscount Utterly,
and George CASTOR gave a good portrayal
of the old-fashioned English clergyman.
Miss Ef1e Darling as the disappointed
mamma of the trio Of Amazons gave q
clever and pleasing Interpretation Of that
part. Others in the cast were Nick Ju-
dels, Percy F. Leach and Guy Nichols.

GLEN ECHO'S LID OFF
STRENUOUS DIVERSIONS FOLLOW
COLLINS RESIGNATION.
Speeding Autos and a Rough House
Enliven the Evening Over the
District Line.

Glen Echo Is in the hands Of the enemy,
and all because Mr.. Collins is no longer on
the Job. The news that Collins had sud
denly become an ex-marshal of the Mont
gomery county Jurisdiction by the simple.
yet unexpected action Of presenting his
resignation to Mayor Garrett seems to have
spread like wildfire, whatever that is, and
all Washinztonians out for time last night
evidently thought 1t incumbent upon them
to celebrate the fact that no one was sit
ting the Glen Echo lid.
Automobiles without number piloted
their cars out Conduit road way, and If any
Of Glen Echo's auto rules and regulations
escaped being fractured it was because they
were away on vacation. At the same time
several unsatisfactory fortunes were told
in the gypsy camp at Glen Echo Park, and
a rough house started there by half dozen
young Washington men extended to the
miniature railway and eventually involved
almost the entire resort Deputy Marshal
Shaw, who has temporarily inherited ex-
Marshal Collins footwear was fairly dis
tracted by the unSeemly confusion and the
dust kicked up by flying automobiles.
Deputy Shaw in Action.
Before the fuss in the park had proceeded
very far some of Glen Echos citizens I'M
dertook to uphold the honor of the juris-
dction, and from common or garden rough
housing the affair took on the semblance
Of a battle royal. Deputy Shaw finally
emerged from the melee with the fingers of

was also caught in the dragnet. The OFF,
cial lead pencil is also said to have been
brought into play when Deputy Shaw made
notes of the names of other combatants.
Each of these names will be written into
the blank space on warrant by Mayor
Garrett this afternoon, and arrests by
wholesale are expected to follow.
And ex-Marshal Collins is reported to be
wearing a semi-cynical smile and silently
watching the devastation which has fallen
upon Glen Echo. Mayor Garrett has sew
eral likely candidates in view, but he has
not yet selected a successor for the militant
