The stirring events OF an exciting and
historical day that saw President Nord

In Port au Prince. The passions OF
the populace had been aroused and
after being defeated in their endeavors
to do bodily harm to Alexis. they turn
ed their attention to the well stocked
store houses and residence of the sup
porters Of their late president. They
were rapidly getting out CO hand when

The trouble began shortly after the

people from the Belair and Salines
sections OF the city invaded the hust-
ness quarter and lost no time in turn

Ihey divided into bands and worked
their way down one street and up an
other breaking into stores that offer

OFFICE BOY IS
A PLAYWRIGHT
DAVID 5ELAsco MAKES SURPLUS.
ING FIND IN HIS OWN
OFFICE.

New York. Dec. s.-Another play
wright has been discovered by David
Belasco This time it is no writer of
experience suddenly turned dramatist
but the office boy, whose business il
has been to announce visitors at ths
offices of the manager In the Belasco
Stuyvesant theater.
The young man set to work ana
wrote a play without saying anything
to living soul.
His method of bringing the play to
the great dramatist's attention was
equally novel. He sent 1t in through
the Belasco play bureau under an as
sumed name. 1t was read and disclos-
ed evidences OF dramatic ability In the
writing even though the situations were
crudely handled. The author was sent
for. Mr.. Belasco's astonishment when
his own Office boy responded may
readily be imagined.
The great dramatist has decided to
transfer the youthful writer to his pri-
vate studio, there to encourage and
develop the spark of genius which the
boy surely possesses.

OF SUBPOENA
10 Bring Witnesses to Tariff
Hearing
WILL APPEAL TO CONGRES
HOUSE WAYS AND MEANS COM.
MITTEE WOULD LIKE POWER
TO COMPEL WITNESSES TO
TEsTIFY-No REVISION UNTIL
MARCH.

Washington, Dec. 3.-Although Id is
not proposed to report the new tariff
bill, which will be framed by the house
ways and means committee, to con-
gress until the special session which
President elect Taft will call in March.
1t is evident that the question Of tariff
revision will be the principal one un-
der discussion throughout the winter.
While the ways and means commit
tee has not determined whether to
continue the present hearings, the gem
eral feeling among its members is
that there should be further opportu-
mites offered interested parties to ap-
pear before the committee and present
their views on the proposed revision.
One republican member of the COM
mittes declared recently that the COM
mittee would ask congress for power
to subpoena. witnesses at a supple
mentary hearing. Representative S.
Champ Clark of the minority went a
step further.
1T would be better" he said, eff we
would be given the power to subpoena
witnesses and have them sworn in and
made to answer questions when they
appear before the committee"
Chairman Payne has not denied that
1t is proposed to ask the house for
authority to subpoena those who the
committee believe could furnish val
liable information.
On the other hand, Representative
Crumpacker Of Indiana, who was pres
ent at yesterdays hearing for the first
time since he conferred with Presi-
dent elect Taft at Hot Springs, in re-
gard to the tariff question. does not
believe the committee would gain any
thing by subpoenaingp witnesses. He
strongly favors a continuation of
hearings throughout the short session
of congress, the committee to meet
for this purpose once or twice a week.
