He Makes Confession

To relieve his mind OF a burden that
he has borne for nearly three years.
Harry Routzhan Of Middletown, Md
is in the county jail at Frederick, Md,
having voluntarily confessed that he
and another man by the ma meof Thos
II. Russell has robbed Baltimore and
Ohio Station Agent Hoover at Mag
nolia, w. Va, OF $5S5 in June 1905.
Sheriff f. ID. Gardner, this city, re-
caiyed telephone message TO this eff
feet on Wednesday from the Sheriff
at Frederick and asking for informa-
ton that would throw some light on
the subject, and asking if the Berke-
ley county at thJrities waited Routz-
han.
Sheriff eardHsr replied that the al
legged crime was committed in Morgan
county and that he would inform
Sheriff Biser at Berkeley Springs,
which he did.
Late in the day travelling auditor of
the U. 5. Express Co., walked into
Sheriff Gardner's Office and showed
h m Sheriff Biser's telegram to the B.
II .. and Express Agent at Magnolia
concerning the Maryland mans con-
fession.
There is considerable mystery about
this whole story. 1t il aquestion If the
robbery was committed all, because il
Hoover WAS robbed at the time stated
In the confession of Routzhan he
Hoover never reported it. But it is
known that come time afterwards a
deficit was found in Hoover's accounts
but which he made good. Later he
left that section Of the state and his
whereabouts are not known. In a
word, if Hoover was robbed he did not
know it.
Whether Routzhan's story is true or
not will be mystery little hard to
clean up inasmuch as Hoover has di S.
appeared and at the time he didn t
know he was robbed.

High Notes and Art.

Possibly, as Ellen Beach Yaw OF
Mrs. GoIdthwaite says, high notes
are what the people OF this coun-
try, and especially New Workers,
are particularly fond of at the pres
ent time" They certainly seek
heights in New York-high prices,
highbalIs, high buildings, and why
not high notes? Yet it must be
said that the popular impression
throughout the country that in New
York opera-goers enjoy only the
singing of those whose notes they
can drown with their conversation.
The Boston soprano, as we may
call her. boasts that she can now
sing within one note of an octave
higher than the great Tetrazzini."
In a similar way she surpasses
Melba and Sembrich, Ternina and
Nordica Yet when il comes to high
notes the crowd would rather hear
Caruso or Constantine take high c
than a chorus of TetrazZinis trill
through the very tops of their
heads. Many a tenor is forgiven
solely because he has that one stab
bling high note. But a soprano
well. the New York critics didn't
praise Tetrazzini's high notes, but
they did mention her delightful, her
wonderful style 1t is the same
with contraItos. We doubt that
anyone waits TO hear Mrs. Schu-
mann-Heink roll her voice down
cellar; yet vyhen the pompous basso
Jumps down TO low C-ahI what
thrill.
However, tastes change, and if, as
Mrs. Yaw-Goldthwaite AYERS, high
notes are to be the Prima dcnna's
chief stock in trade, then Nine. Tet-
razzini and all the other new
PATHS" must make ready to take
minor parts.

WANTS CITY REIMBURSED
FOR CONFEDERATE LEVY

Senator Wbyte OF Maryland proposes
% have the town Of Frederick, Nd.
reimbursed for Che sum of $4,000 in
tribute which the Confederate general,
Jubal a. Early, levied upon tho place
in the civil war. Senator Whyte has
introduced a bill in the Senate pro-
viding for The repayment OF the amount

It was In the summer Of 1864 that
Earlys army rested at Frederick and
made preparations for the descent on
Washington. When Early discovered
that his plans had been made known
to the Washington authorities he forced
the citizens OF Frederick to raise the
100000 mentioned on penalty of having
the town burned and looted. The bill
would place the 10000 IN the hands OF
the mayor and aldermen of Frederick
TO be distributed to the persons who
raised the ransom money or their heirs.

Let All Take Part.

Washington has too long borne
the burden of seeing to it that the
real significance of the Presidential
Inauguration is given proper ex-
preston. It is an imposing and ma
jestic thing to take the oath Of Of
fee as the Chief Executive of land
on which the sun never sets, and of
more than s5,OOO,OOO people. 1t is
not to be done in the dark or in
corner. All have a right to be spec
tatoTs.
It is right and proper that the
ceremony should be accompanied by
an inspiring and inspiriting display
of the military forces of the States
and the Nation; of the civic organi-
cations of our cities, and the vet
Grams of our wars; that there
should be bands and banners, and
the tumult of a mighty and happy
people; that there should be speak
ing and feasting, music and
dancing.
But it is not right or proper that
the labor Of arranging for this
great democratic festival # the ma
tion should fall wholly upon the
citizens of Washington; that the
expense attending the entertain
ment of the thousands upon thou
sands drawn to the Capital upon
that day of days should be a charge
upon the citizens Of the District. 1t
is a national affair, and should be
under national management, and at
national expense. The citizens Of
Washington can be relied upon to
bear even more than their share of
the labor and expense. They are
accustomed to that sort of thing,
and are Injured to it.
Making the Inauguration wholly
national would heighten the pa
triotic interest of the whole people.
Whatever may be the feeling on
other days, that is one day when it
is the Office and not the man the
sons and daughters of Columbia
honor, and in giving honor and
glory to that high office we only
give honor and glory to ourselves as
a people and a nation.

BRILLIANT comic OFFERING"
BEST NUMBER AT CHASE'S

One number stands out Tar above the
rest OF the bill at Chase's this week.
and ranks among the best vaudeville
sketches seen here this winter. Il is

had 10 do well and modestly kept IN the
background.
One other number which deserves
more than passing mention was the Of

in Mrs. Murphy's Second Husband"
To Miss Emmett fell the role Of a
newly rich widow, and she made the
most OF IL. Her work was largely dis

and generalship. The opponents
may or may not be friends or enc
mics. They are frequently stEang-
ers meeting for the first time in
the squared circle. They have
trained for the encounter for
months. The contest seldom ends
in even temporary injury to either
the vanquished or the victor. 1t is
not unusual for the battle to be
brought toNa sudden stop by the
referee or the seconds of one of the
other man on account of one of the
ring warriors showing signs of
dangerous distress. 1t is a sport,
and there is strong support of the
claim that it is clean, legitimate,
manly, and beneficial
But what can be said in defense
Of the fatal set-to of the men on
the Cumberland? 1t was not a
prizefight. 1t was not a contest Of
skill. 1t was not a trial of strength
or endurance. 1t was not an exhibit
ton of science or training. The
men were enemies. They had a
grudge against each other. They
cared naught TO display any clever
ness. Their only desire was TO pun
ish one another. It was Il fight,
pure and simple, witnessed by a
great crowd of men not one of
whom had the moral courage TO
make a protest against the indecent
affair. 1t was no more an exhibit
ton of the manly art of boxing
than is a dog fight or a cock fight.
The victor, or rather the survivor,
has been placed under arrest. But
why are not the men who aided and
abetted the fight arrested? Are
the officers who are really RESPONSE
BILE for it all to escape even all ques-

WOMEN CAR READERS.

The increase in the proportion OF
women who read in elevated and sur
face cars in the past ten years is strik-
ing. A rough computation shows at
least one in every five occupies herself
with book or magazine, and abolIt one
in ten with a newspaper. The reason
for the difference is that the average
woman prefers TO do her newspa per
reading at home Just why must be
sought in the grand answer 10 the eter-
nal feminine, unless the explanation he
that ii Is harder for a woman to hold
n CHper steady than a book Another
reason may be that, what with purse
and parasOl OF Umbrella. a woman mas
senger seldom has both hands free
But the percentage Of readers among
women IN cars has grown steadily in
a decade. Ten years ago the propor-
ton was about one in fifty, to n axe an
other rough calculation from memory.
And this is taking them in bulk, shoD-
pers and callers. as well as women who
work. The proportion Of car readers
among working women alone Is much
greater.-New York Press.

Colleges and Politics.

In Connecticut, at least, the fact
that Secretary Taft is a Yale man is
counting for a good deal. The edi-
tors of the three leading news
papers of the Shore Line State were
in college along with Mr.. Taft, it
seems, and the old college-mate
spirit has prompted them to keep
his name prominently before their
readers. Besides, the president Of
TIE new Taft Club in New Haven is
State Senator Butterworth, the IA
nous Yale fullback of a dozen or
more years ago, and the vice presi-
dent is a member Of the Yale Cor
poration.
Mr.. Taft seems to have an advan-
tage over the other candidates for
the nomination so far as collegiate
influence is concerned, for his alma
mater is the best known of all,
there being no Harvard man in the
race. He viii probably find more
supporters among the graduates of
Cincinnati College, where he took
his course in law. But Governor
Hughes would prove a powerful
rival if college backing were to
prove a factor in the fight, for, in
addition TO having Brown behind
him, he would have more or less
support from Columbia, where he
studied law. Vice President Fair
banks is a graduate of Ohio IVES
leyan University. Senator Knox
was also graduated from an Ohio
institution, Mt. Union College.
Speaker Cannon got his modest
schooling in Illinois, though he is a
SOutherner by birth.

AN INGENIOUS WRITER
OF BLOODTHIRSTY MELO

What about the men who write blood
aud-thunder melodranas, full OF nerve
racklne scenes? Are they uneducated,
coarsened men? Or just what sort are
they? owen Davis is a graduate Of
Harvard University. class Of SO, He
once wrote Greek poetry and tragedies
in Greek. His education has been OF
the best. then. When he first came to
New York he had two or three plays
which he thought had literary value
get something with a sensational eff
feet.
So he went in for sensation. He Wis
tied the melodrama houses and he
studied at first hand, no. so much from
the stage, but from the gallery.
His first play was Through the
Breakers" and in ten years he has
written sixty-seven plays. That would
seem almost a record, but an analysis
proves even more interesting. During
seven months Mr. Davis wrote thirteen
PLAYS This means about two weeks to
each nlay. -Four days are devoted to
thinking II over ana eight or nine days
to the writing.
Il know better" says Mr.. Davis. but
still I do it," Now granting that each
pIav has about twelve scenes-this Is a
moderate estimate-that means that Mr..
Davis has written one hundred and
nfty-six scenes, and, as each scene must
have n startling climax, that he has
evolved one hundred and fifty-six thrills
IN seven monthsl The bare writing Is a
feat in itself
The hardest part of melodrama,
however" says Mr.. Davis. is the
scenic construction, for. as mel0drama
is today. you must have a scenic effect
for each act and you must take into
the cost. AS for the writ
ing, the fundamental idea of every mel
cdrama is practically the same. "-Ex-

Sl3 "And Found. I"

Secretary Taft and others more
or less connected with the army,
while not at all claiming that the
enlisted mans pay of $13 is suf-
fcient or just, are inclined TO seek
some mitigation of the sum in the
statement that the soldier is housed
and clothed and fed at Uncle Sans
expense. This, it is pointed out,
renders his pay really much larger
than it seems.
Here comes an enlisted man and
knocks that argument into a cooked
hat. He uses that most formidable
weapon-facts drawn from personal
experience. His testimony is print
ed in Army and Navy Life, and is,
therefore, entitled to all credence.
He says:
Ny pay is s1s month. out Of which
I am obliged 10 expend upon an aver
age. owing to military requirements
such as cleanliness, appearance, etc,
and for which the Government makes
no provision, the amount of S6.371A. for
