last evening, he was asked his judg-

''rhe situation is satisfactory from

Mr.. Wilson. Recent developments in
the political situation have demon

standing steadfast in thet faith. The
east is talking still of the demonstra-
ton which greeted Judge Taft in Iowa

Indianapolis, Oct. 9.-The announce
ment here that the national republican
committee repudiates M. NJ. Mulhall.
who has sent out thousands of letters
to employees of factories signed Work
ingmens Protective Association
caused a decided sensation in labor
and manufacturing circles.
John NJ. Maxwell, private secretary
to David NJ. Parry when the latter was
president of the National Association
of Manufacturers, said yesterday
that Mulhall was once the private en-
ploye of Marshall Gushing, former
secretary Of the association.
"But neither Mr. Parry nor myself"
he declared "knew that Mulhill was an
employe until a year after Mr.. Parry
had retired from office, and not until
after Marshall Cushing had retired
from the association. Mulhau was paid.

called the x. Y. u. account, as to the
character of which neither Mr.. Parry
nor could ever get any information"
The central labor political committee

distribution among the workingmen Of

A General Grab.

Paris, Oct. "a prominent diplomat
said last night: "Altho some details
are still obscure the inside history OF
the Balkan coup will make one of the
strangest chapters in International an
mails There is evidence Of plot to
upset all the old International combin-
ations. Germany has abandoned her
old friend, Turkey; Francis Joseph has
deceived llis old friend, King Edward;
Italy lbartered with Austria, the ire
concilable enemy Of the Balkans, and
1swolsky, as a dl1pe or acconlplice, al
most fell into the snare. Great Brit
ain, except for the entente with
France, suddenly found herself isolated,
when she thought she had Germany
surrounded. But Great Britain now
comes nearer to turning the tables.
BY championing Turkeys cause she
has canned the eternal gratitude of
the new regime, with whom she could
displace German influence. If Russia
,yawered, she is again back in line. and
italy, despite Iittoni's pro-Austrian
proclivities, is likely to join hands.
The situation, therefore, is rapidly re-
solving itself into the old duel between
Great Britain and Germany"
The frank explanation Of M. Iswol-
sky, the Russian foreign minister, to
the French government, is largely re-
sponsible for the brighter outlook for
an International conference with re-
gard to the situation in the Balkans.
The fact that NJ. Iswolsky had not
promptly communicated to France and
Great Britain what he had learned
about the forthcoming Balkan changes
at his recent Interviews with Baron
Won Aehren.hal. the Austro-Hungar-
ian foreign minister and Signor Tittoni.
the Italian foreign minister. created
more than an unfauorable impression
In Paris and London. The Russian
foreign minister, however, has now
succeeded in dissipating whatever sus-
picion existed, and the conviction is
general here that Great Britain,
France and Russia can agree upon a
program, tor a conference and viii
oe1caloglh march shoulder to shoulder.

and other hundreds We're turned away.
The theater was filed from pit to gall
lery, and the chief of police and a
city detective were delegated by the
mayor to sit as censors.
The mayor refused to make whole
sale arrests of the manager and actors
before the performance began, because
he was unable to secure evidence from
places where given that the play was
immoral in text or presentation. He
directed his officers to attend the per-
formance, giving them copies of the
city ordinances defining indecent con-
duct, and ordering arrests if the ordin-
'ance was violated. Nothing was of
fered by the actresses and actors to,
offend. The leading lady, frightened
by the public clamor, and having with
her only the costumes usually worn at
evening dress functions, swathed her
neck and throat in an automobile veil
The girl giving the Salome dance was
dressed in a garb suitable for the street
and gave only a Spanish dance. Thun-
derous applause, long continued, failed
to bring an encore. She feared pos
sible arrest under the present tension
of the public mind
Manager Busby was fully vindicated
as he had claimed the. play wonld be
decent and moral.
