SMALLEST THEATER IN WORLD

~ ESPAlRING OF every disputing
the American claim to the
possession of the biggest of
everything, London now declares
thai 1t has the smallest theater In tho
world. OF course. there are smaller
privately owned affairs, but this is a
real theater, at which frequent public
performances are given.
The smallest playhouse Is called
the Rehearsal Thcater" and is sltu-
ated on Maiden lane, IA narrow street
one block long just back OF the famous
Strand. IT is the property of and IL
managed by Herbert Jay, the business
manager of one of the big West End
theaters OF London. Its name gives q
hint of the chief purpose of the tiny
house for 1t is filled almost the week
through with theatrical companies be-
Ing knocked into presenta.ble shape for
some important production either in
London or In one of the big English
provincial cities. As a general thing
such company would be put through
its preliminary PAGES at the theater
where II is to make it's bow to the
public. but circumstances often pre-
vent. Either the stage is In use for
other purposes or the production Is to
be made out of town, and the manager
does not want to travel away from
u.
1t is in cases of this kind that the
little Maiden-lane house comes in
handy.
1T must not be supposed, however.
that 1t never reaches the dignity of
seeing real production before real
audience. Frequently amateur and
even professional dramatic societies
hold forth from its little stage, and
quite often socialistic orators and
sufraSettes cut up caperS there before
sympathetic audiences.
The seating capacity of the theator
is only 100, but despite its limits of
space, it boasts a gallery. The stage
measures Is feet by "a feet. Some of
the plays which are rehearsed there
are taken in hand by the stage man
ager in installments, there being hard
ly room enough for the full company to
get about ON the stage at one time.
Maiden lane, on which the Re
hearsal Theater" is located Is the

one block long, that the actresses and
actors of England foregather at GER
tam times OF the year-and many of
them all the year round in the absence
of engagements-to talk matters over.
1t is shabby little street lined on
one side with public houses and on the
other with small stores. cheap restau-
rants. and the stage doors of the two
theaters. Yet surdid as the surround
ings are, in Maiden lane, throughout
the year, can be met most of the stars
of the English stage, who rub SYM
pathic shoulders with the favorites of
bygone days and the hopes of the
years to come.

Resolution Passed by State Federation of
LABOR Appealing to Gov. Dawson to Call
an Extended Session of Legislature to Con-
slder Above Matters.--Voices Sentime ents
of Every Union Man in West virarinia..

Huntington, w. Va. Feb. 10
Just before the noon recess today
delegate Frank w. Snyder, Of
Charleston, asked unanimous con.
sent ia resolution for immedi
ate consideration and action
which was granted and the reso-
luton as follows was unnni,nously
adopted:
Whereas A grave problem con
fronts organized labor in West
Virginia in the matter Of securing
remedial legislation for the protec.
ton of the lives and limbs of the
mine workers of our state, and to
diminish the horrible mine dis.
asters that have been hurling
hundreds of miners into eternity,
thus throwing thousands Of help
less women and children on the
mercy of our citizens, and
Whereas The laws of our state
are being violated with impunity
and trampled under foot by the
mine owners and their agents, and
the oppression and Intimidation of
the miners is daily growing in
volumn, in spit of the fact that
the Chief Executive Of our state
has repeatedly called the attention
of our legislators to the facts, and
Whereas The mine owners are
exempt, under the present laws.
from any liability for death or ac
cident of their employees sustained
in mines, and
Whereas A Legislative Mine In
vestigating Committee, appointed
at the last regular session of the
legislature, to investigate the
horrible disasters during the past
and report their findings and make
such concentrations as thew
deem wise and expedient at the
earliest possible moment, have thus
far utterly refused to report their
findings, notwithstanding the fact
that the Governor, in his message
to the legislature now in session,
provided for the report of the COM
mittee, urging protective mining
| Legislation, and
Whereas In view of the above
fact, we are convinced that moth
| ing of beneficial nature in the
interests of the mine workers can
be expected from said committee,
as we recognize their failure to re-
port as a direct refusal to comply
with the wishes of our people, and,
this being the case, we demand
that some steps be at once taken
for the more rigid enforcement of
the laws now on our statute books
and that those necessary to meet
the above requirements be enacted.
Therefore be it
Resolved BY the West Virgipia ia
State Federation of Labor, in
session assembled in Huntington,
w. Va, that we appeal to Cover
nor w. NJ. o. Dawson to call an
extended session of the legislature
to consider the following matters:
1st. The enactment of Remedial

3rd. To abolish the present

EASTERN FAIRY TALES
 AND WESTERN FACTS
MARVELLOUS YARN ABOUT TAM
 ING THE COLORADO.
How the Great Mr. Hartman Moves, His Wonders to Perform-Months of Titanic Labor Reduced to a Two Weeks Miracle by Imaginative Wri- ter.

The story of the battle of the rail road engineers with the Colorado rver at the Mexican heading of the Imperial canal is wonder story when told truly. As told by writers n Eastern periodicals it Is a fairy tale excelling Jack and the Bean stalk in sheer absurdity.. In liar per's Weekly of Sept. 12, one Mum lord has rhapsodical appreciation" of Mir Hartman and the wonders he performs, in the course of which he attempts to tell of the closing of the break of the Colorado. It took two months of the hardest work to turn the river and about five months to complete the protective levees, but the Mumford person says it was all done by Mir. Hartman, single handed, in two weeks. Hear him:
 Just as he does everything that he turns hrs hand to- MT. Hartman began, within a few hours, pounding piles into the break, and hurling rocks and earth after them. An army of men, a flock of locomotives, and a swarm of cars rushed materials thith CT. In fifteen days from the date of the order the Colorado was tanned and murmuring along peacefully in it's proper channel What a fortnight's work it was! In that eventful two weeks the railroad men had built 225O feet of cam, into which had gone SV,000 cubic yards of gravel, and g. 250.000 yards of earth. They had made thirteen and half miles of le- Vee, which required 100000 yards of material To handle it all seventeen miles of standard-guage railway was built, and all told the bill that the Southern Pacific OK'd for the job was $3,152,920."
 Not one correct statement of fact in the paragraph. But this bit of prophecy, probably inspired from lon high is not so far out: There is coming a time when the Imperial Val ley will have we'll paid it's doctors bill"
 Lest it be forgotten that. Mir Harri- mans part in the work was giving the word Ego" to men who do things, and that Western engineers were on the job, let the names of the tanners of the Rio Colorado be enrolled again. They were 41pes Randolph, H. T. Cory, Thos. J. Hind and c. K Clarke. Those are the captains who planned the bat tie and led the army of stalwart work CTS in struggle so desperate and titanic that the governments ergi7 peers and experts declared it to be hopeless and victory impossible.
