A Favorite South.
AdeII Barker WeII-Remem'
bered For her Work
With Anna Held
and Jefferson
De Angels.

Adeli Barker plays the role of
old nanny, Aunt Julie Ann, in
''The Traitor" the new drama by
ChanningPollock and ThomasDix-
on, Jr.' that takes up the story of
the Ku Klux Khan where "The
Clansman" left off, and thereby
hangs tale that will interest ev-
cry theatre-goer of the South. AS
E'The Leopard's Spots", "The
Clansmau" and "The Traitor"
from remarkable triIogy so do
Adell Barker, Eva Davenport and
Susie Cawthorne, from trium
virate of laughmakers and the
greatest of these is Miss Baker.
Tosparticularize, Anna Held once
played in piece called "Papa's
Wife" in which one of the funni
est scenes ever known were a lady
of mammoth proportions tainted
in the arms of one Charles Bige-
low. That scene was a classic an d
the lady was Adell Barker. Eq-
uall laughable was her Madame
Girodet in "a Royal Rogue" with
Jefferson De Angels. She has
won other comedy triumphs with
Henry E. Dixey in ''Facing The
Music" with Lillian Blauvelt in
'sThe Rose of the Alhambra" ,
with Paula Edwards in "The
Princess Beggar, Yin "a Norman
| dy Wedding" and many other
successful productions. Miss Bar
ker stands at the head of charac-
ter condolences in laugh-making
ability as well as in weight and
her infectious funmaking as well
as her ludicrous ponderosity have
made her great favorite all over
the country and especially in the
South. Having exhausted the re
repertory of character comedy in
light opera and farce comedy Miss
Barker has now attained one O.
her earliest ambitious to play the
greatest nanny part ever written
She regards her portrayal of Aunt
Julie Ann as the climax of he
comedy career. That this is tht
opinion of her audiences is atteste(
lby the whirlwindIof laugbter-spon
} taneous, irresistible laughter, tina
greets her as every appearance.

EIkins Law Stands.

The question whether the railroad
rate law, known as the Hepburn act,
repeals section one of the Elkins act,
prohibiting rebates by railroads, was
involved in the case of the Great
Northern Railway Co VS.. the United
States, which was decided Monday by
the United States supreme court
against the railroad company and
against the contention of such repeal.
The case was instituted in the Unit
ed States district court for the dis
trict of Minnesota, which court fined
the railroad 81 900 each for Is viola
tions of the first section of the Elkins
law.
The road admitted the rebates, but
fought prosecution on the ground that
by amending the Elkins act so as TO
provide for punishment by imprison-
ment rather than by fines, the Hep
| burn law had so modified the original
law as to accomplish its repeal and
render punishment under it imprac-
| ticable.

STUDENT PROVERS OF DRUGS
ENTER ON ANNUAL
TEST.
OBJECT OF THE DRUGGING
Matters of Note and Comment Gath
cred Here and There About the State
Briefly Told.

The annual drug proving test OF the
students of the homeopathic college
of the u. of NJ. is now on. Various
drugs are being experimental with In
order TO determine their action on the
human body The students volunteer
as provers. They must agree to OBJ
serve certain rigid rules during the
course and each must pass severe
physical test and his family history,
previous illnesses, peculiarities of tenn
perament, susceptibility to disease, are
all to be recorded.
A "provers' table" at the hospital Is
maintained so that the exact kind and
quantity of food taken may be known
The drugs experimental with are un'
known to the proven and, to insure It's
regular administration, special nurse
is detailed for that purpose. The usua
habits of the provers are interfereo
with as little as possible, yet great
care is taken that there shall be nj
excesses Of any kind INDUCED in anC
abnormal symptoms produced othel
than those caused by the drug admin
/ istered.
So much of the present knowledge
| of drug action has been learned b!
experimenting on animals and on slci
people that the true action of drugs ol
the healthy human body is not entire
ly known. and it is hoped some o
these experiments may add material,
to present knowledge
Another phase Of experiment whicl
is receiving a good deal of attention
is the demonstration of the close rels
ton between drug action and the at
ton Of vaccines. Through Wright
opsonic theory it has been shown tina
drugs influence the resistance of tn
blood to bacteria as do vaccines.
patient may be made more resistar
to certain diseases by means of Tn

THE REVISED CONSTITUTION is
NOW READY FOR The
PEOPLE.
WHEN SHALL THEY VOTE
The Question of Submission For the
Vote of the People Goes to the
Supreme Court at once With a Sal
ary Tag.

The revision of the constitution Is
now as much a fact as the convention
can make it and final Judgment now
rests with the electors of the state
Saturday the revision as a whole was
placed on passage and unanimously
adopted, the vote standing SO TO U.
Instead of adojurning sine die the
convention adjourned until March .,
but further business was suspended
and all employees discharged except
those on the secretary's stan, ana
the latter will continue on the pay
roll until that time. During the IN
terim they will be kept busy getting
the addresses ready for mailing.
| There were several reasons for ad-
| iourning with date. A contract had
| been made with the stenographers,
! giving them 81 200 additional to make
an index of the debates. The auditor
general refused to pay this on the ad-
vice of the attorney-generals depart
ment. where it was held that the con-
vention had no right TO contract debts
beyond the life of the convention.
Then Secretary Kings friends got
busy and he was voted $3.50 addi-
tional compensation, which was put
him a claim against the state.
Although the convention decided TO
submit the revision i'm the fall instead
of at the spring election the commit
tee on permanent organization recon-
mended that action be taken TO secure
| judicial decision from the supreme
court as to the right of the convention
{ TO act independently of the legislative
enactment. To bring this about pro
vision was added to the schedule or
dering the secretary of state to forth
. with notify the sheriffs Of the variou:
counties of the submission of the re
vision at the fall election. BY agree
=, ment they will refuse to do this ant
u an order to show cause will be asked
for. The matter was placed in charg'
J. of subcommittee consisting OF Dele
Il gates Campbell. Pratt, A. l.. Moore
II Gore and Wykes The order to shov
e cause will be secured from the su
e preme court and the matter will b.
g heard Thursday, so that decision

Removal of Stations.

The right of a railroad to remove
or cut down station facilities is IN
volved in the hearing and argument
before the state railroad commission
last week on the removal of station
facilities from the village of Scofield
and the consequent upbuilding of a
town two miles away. Lieut-Gov. kel-
ley, as a private practitioner, repre-
sented the complainants. Earl +.
Drake, of Detroit, representing the D.,
T. & /. railroad, held that the com
pany has right to withdraw the
station facilities provided the general
interests of the community are not
materially impaired. The commission
has not yet made decision. The new
eight-hour labor law caused the
change AT Scofield
