The disappearance OF the heroine from

the audience cause for wonderment
and In addition rare comedy effects
were furnished, which called forth roars

The plot while slight in itself was
symbolical OF the triumph of light and
purity over darkness and enchantn,ent.
The struggle was between Superba- the
queen Of light, over Wallalia, the queen

crate and tasteful.

FLAMING ARROW" PLEASES
WITH THRILLING INDIAN STORY

A large and enthusiastic audience
greeted the appearance CT The Flaming

and though melodramatic in plot the
story is interesting, well balanced and
serves for more than a mere thread
on which 20 string q series OF dramatic
situations. Mary Fremont, the daugh-
ter Of a colonel. loves and Is loved
by the adopted son Of an Indian chief.
Two other men are equally determined
to win her hand. An Indian uprising
IS brought about, and the girl abducted.
But the timely arrival Of extra troops
and anal restoration OF the heroine
bring about the usual happy ending.

"but Il wiz be given a preliminary hear

New York but elsewhere throughout
the country were erroneous.

The Peters Wireless Bill.

This present effort here in Wash
ington to control wireless teleg-
raphy is a direct outcome of the ac-
ton taken by the American dele
gates to the International Wireless
Telegraph Convention held in Berlin
a little more than q year ago. But
since that convention was held
other incidents have occurred which
point to the need of some sort of
regulation. False reports have been
circulated by amateurs; and other
experimenters & budding scientists
"iust for the fun of the thing" have
interfered with Government mes
sages.
OF the bills introduced in Con-
gress, that of Congressman Peters,
of Boston, which embodies the ideas
and wishes Of Secretary Metcalf.
seems most practical and least OBJ
iectionable. 1t puts a penalty upon
the sending of false messages pur-
porting to be official, and also upon
the sending of messages in electro
magnetic waves Of certain length,
the purpose in the latter case being
to put other stations outside the
Government zone.
AS the main object of the pro-
posed legislation is to guard and
promote the interests of the Gov
eminent, the disposition Of the
wireless companies is to favor the
passage of simple but effective leg
islation which, in the words of one
of the interested proprietors, would
provide that certain wave-lengths
between 375 and 425 meters in wire
less telegraphy shall be forbidden
to commercial and experimental
wireless telegraphy, and permitted
exclusively to be used by Govern
ment stations'S This, it is believed,
while protecting the Government
stations, would put a minimum Of
hardship or necessary restriction
upon inventors and promoters en-
gagged in the new art; and such
view substantially comedies with
that expressed in the Peters bill.

SHOES LAST 80 YEARS,

DARBY. Pa, March 15-shoemakers

And Build

Congress has come to a crisis in
the material equipment of the pub
lie schools in the National Capital.
For twenty years we have been
falling behind. Today the majority
of our children are quartered in I'M
imposing, non-freproof, and in sew
eral cases WORKOUT buildings. A
few are in buildings of a fairly &C
ceptable type. OF all the $4,000 not
a single one is in a building which
is genuinely fireproof. And half of
those $4,000 children must spend
part or all of their school days in
adapted dwellings, unsuited in de-
sign to school use, and so construct
ed as to expose the child to costly
risk.
Part of this lack of quarters has
arisen through the hardness Of the
authorities. Part of it, through
their timidity in asking from Con-
gress. But the greater part has
come about because Congress and
the authorities have together kept
consistently behind the need by the
period of time required to build
new school houses. Thus, two years
ago, Congress appropriated for
buildings on the basis Of the need
as it existed in 1905 Though it did
not fully meet even that need), not
as it would exist when the buildings
should be finished in 1907.
So today the only way to care for
the children in the schools is to
provide for the number who viii be
ready when buildings allowed today
shall be available. One building will
illustrate this situation.
At present there is an enrolment
Of 675 children at the Mckinley
Manual Training School. The in
crease over last year was 144 At
the same rate there viii apply for
admission for the benefit of this
course next September SO pupils.
By September 1, therefore, room
should be provided for SO children.
The present capacity of the build
ing is 275. An addition is being
built-to be ready, it is hoped, by
September next-which win accom-
mosate I75. The new capacity viii

Case for the Aldrich Bill.

We have seen no better statement
Of the case for the Aldrich currency
measure than was presented by
Senator Lodge in his speech several
days ago. He believed something
was needed, that this bin was the
only thing proposed which had q
possible chance of adoption, and
that 1t was certainly less revolu-
tionary and disturbing than any
other measure considered. Senator
Lodge paid high tribute to the skin
with which the measure had BEEN
drawn, fitting it into the Presen
money system without disturbaI &C
or shock to any part thereof.
The argument that there is no
need of any legislation just now,
because for the moment money is
once more comparatively easy, Is
not altogether convincing. Next
autumn vill bring another crop, it
is hoped another of those record
breaking crops which always mean
prosperity to this country. 1t VIII
require to be moved. To move it
will take money, and lots Of it. The
real question is whether by that
time there win be ample supply Of
ready cash, without reliance on
some device for expansion of the
supply.
If the Aidr.ch bill does not pass
there will be, throughout the COM
ing summer at least, uncertainty as
to what the crop-moving stress viii
bring forth. That uncertainty will
be only less unfortunate than the
actual recurrence Of a period of
money-shortage. There may prove
no need of the emergency issues
which the measure aims to provide;
but there is need for the assurance
that if required those emergency
issues can be secured.
Too much stress has been laid on
discussion of certain classes Of Sc
curities for emergency issues. The
charge that this bills only purpose
is to give a Government indorse-
ment to certain railroad issues is
foolish But it is no more unrea-
sonable than the attitude of the
bills supporters who, by their per-
sistence in demanding this feature,
have largely justified the feeling
that this clause means more to
them than all the rest Of the
measure.
Without the railroad bond feature
the bill will be a reasonably effec-
tive safeguard of the money supply;
with that feature it will have like
effect. The railroad bonds are an
incident, but they have been made
to look like the whole structure.
