A CALL ON TAFT
CAUSES COMMENT
Ex-senator HemenWay and
lanes P. Goodrich Visit
The White House.
BEvERIDGE NOT KNITTED
IT IS THOUGHT, AS THE PRESI-
DENT Is TOO ANXIOUS TO HAVE
INDIANA BROUGHT BACK TO
REPUBLICAN FOLD.

Washington, Dec. 16.-Indiana poll
ticians have had their curiosity arous-
ed over a visit to the White House
yesterday by ex-senator James A.
Hemenway and James r. Goodrich,
Chairman Of the Indiana Republican
Station Committee.
Neither visitor would discuss the
nature of the conversation with the
President afterward, further than to
say that Indiana politics was dis
cussed.
interest in the conference was in
tensified by the fact that Hemenway
is going back to Indiana to take a
hand in the political situation with a
view to getting back into the Senate
eventually.
Close friends Of Senator Beverage
are wondering more than the average
Hoosier is just what took place while
his former colleague and Chairman
Goodrich we're with the president.
Although the president would like
to have seen Beveridge vote for the
tariff bill last August. he is even de-
sirous of seeing Indiana go repub-
lican next year and consequently one
suggestion made last night that per.
haps the visitors may have brought
up the question of the elimination
of Senator Beveridge is hardly ten
able.

MIxUP OVER COLLEGE "E"
ARE SIXTEEN APPLICANTS FOR
THE VARSITY LETTER, BUT
THE CLAIMS OF SOME ARE NOW
UNDER DISPUTE.

Philip Bruner, captain-elect OF the
1910 foot ball team, was yesterday
elected track manager of next years

Earlham College Athletic association.
Mr.. Bruner is junior at Earlham.
and was strong half back of this sea-
sons foot ball varsity.
The athletic association is having
some trouble about the voting of "E's''
to this seasons foot ball varsity. Six
teen men have presented applications
for the letter, two of whom played
most of the St. Mary's game this fall
Some members of the letter committee
contend that this game was not a var
sity game and that these two men do
not deserve a letter from the college
association.
The matter was introduced in the
meeting yesterday afternoon, but: the
association was unable to decide and
the matter was left to President Rob-
ert L. Kelly. He will secure cata'
logue Of st. Mary's and see If it is a
college of equal standing with Earl
ham. If it is then the association will
award these men their letters. The
constitution Of the college association
provides that the games shall be play
ed with colleges in equal standing with
Earlham in order that the men be
awarded their "E's.'
The athletic association held a meet
ing the fore part of the week, but it
was declared unconstitutional. and the
meeting yesterday followed.

SMALL BOYS ARE ALREADY Sc
CURING THEM.

The first supply Of Christmas trees
has arrived In this city from the north
and they are now on sale in several
Of the local retail houses. The prices
this year will range from 25 cents for
the smallest to 50 or 81 for the larg-
est and best formed evergreen. Most
of the Christmas trees are shipped
into Richmond from Michigan and
Wisconsin, where they grow in abun-
dance and are Of the most beautiful
variety. However, the pine, spruce
and hemlock trees grow also in
Wayne county and the small boys are
busy after school hours searching the
woods for the trees and taking orders
for the evergreens. The farmers Of
the country also realize that the
Christmas tree business is a profit
able one during the holidays and wag-
on loads of the trees are being
brought to market daily.
Snow is Benefit.
It is a peculiar. but nevertheless a
true fact, that a light fall OF snow is
a great impetus to the Christmas tree

favor. taking the place of the larger

great demand for the small variety
and they find a ready sale. The forest

sands of evergreens, but the new
sprouts are now large enough to be

american audiences Said to Like
the "S7ceet" Actress.

According 10 Miss Mary Shaw. the American
stage is very much behind the European in Its
presentation Of women Talking to the William
Lloyd Garrison Equal Rights Association at the
home of Miss Florence Guernsey. No. West S6th
street yesterday afternoon, she said
I'm Europe the great figure of woman looms
large upon the stage. Man has lost his poetic and
dramatic significance, and woman has taken his
place, not the puppet of man, but woman

But no American manager will produce these plays
or # he borrows them. he hires some one 10 nix
them that their significance is lost. Inc
managers will tell you that their patrons-the
ma jority of whom women-want dre5s ana
beauty and that if YOU we're to give them the new
PLAYS they would for the old puppets, the lady
and her lover"
Miss Shaw didn't seem to think that the managers
were exactly right in their estimate of the public
taste but she admitted that women were fairly
well satisfied with the old puppets
The kind of who succeeds on the Amer

is the of whom women say, Isn't she
sweet and the kind of who makes money IS
tie kind that think would make love well
He is not the man of great ability, but the man
with a certain kind Of charm.
You responsible for the stage Miss Shaw
concluded y hate add to your responsibilities
for YOU have already been held responsible for
everything that goes wrong in the world But
this is really true Owing 10 our industrial condi-
lions. which leave men little time for anything but
business art Of all kinds has been RELOCATED to

twentieth century on the stage. Don't say that
Viola is perfectly lovely because she isn't
Miss Shaw already sees signs OF a change In the
presentation Of women on the American stage.

Bryan l. Kennedy said yesterday he felt certain
that there would be a large crowd and spirited bid
ding at to-days sale of the $50 Trask lots at the
Nesey street. The sale will be begun II o'clock.
He further said; The location Of the site 1T4th

be exrellcd. Restrictions to nuisances make
the property valuable for home sites, and nothing
in the OF educational religious facilities or
of pleasure amusement is wanting The in
crease In values year after year in lots that are
equal in location has been considerable. and as
investment any Of these subway lots should
bring good returns. Thirty-seven minutes TO the

mission. talked the Riverside branch Of the
Woman's Municipal League yesterday morning at
the home OF Mrs. Percival Knauth, No. 800 West
18th street, about the charter, and asked the
women TO DO something get the citizens inter
ested in this instrument. The Indifference of the
public 70 a matter of such tremendous impcr-
lance he said Is extraordinary" Mr.. Strong con-
siders the charter more important than the
direct nominations bill. he believes the deter
mination OF the functions OF officials to be more
important than the method Of their election He
said that women could help by talking about the
charter and attending the charter hearings.
