THE THEATRES
SMITHS

There remains but one more oppor- tunity to witness the splendid bill of vaudeville which has made the second week of the summer season so success full. This evening, the theatre should be filled to the doors, and an esthusi- astic send-off given the performers who have afforded so much pleasure during the past week. The bill is one which will afford any admirer of vaudeville a treat, for it consists of headliners, and each and every act is alone worth the extremely small price charged for admission.
 Another splendid program, even stronger and better than either of those yet seen. will be presented for next week. commencing with Mondays matinee. It comprises features which are seldom seen outside of the big vaudeville houses, and some of them are acts which do not, during the regular season. get outside the big cities. There is not an act on the bill which costs less than S100 for the week. and some of them come far above that amount. It is the most expensive bill of it's size which can be offered by any vaudeville manager. and that it can be presentedsin theatre charging but the small admission price, ten cents. afternoon or evening. as here is a wonder. for it is seldom that these people will consent to appear at such low prices. They claim it lowers their dignity.
 The chief feature of next weeks bill will be the Sisters Cardownie, in their celebrated international dances, a fea- ture ace which during the regular sea son is always a headliner in the big gest vaudeville houses of the country This act is difficult one to secure, by reason of the excessive demand for their services. Their singing and dancing act is a novelty which in variably proves an immense drawing ,-l hot .xrfll week their former successes goes with out saying.

SPECIFIC TAX
PUT ON STEEL
Article Is Changed From Ad Valorem
Duty-Rep. Latta Says Revision Is
Farce and Confidence Game.

WASHINGTON, April s.-Two Inn
portant amendments to the tobacco
schedule OF the Payne bill were ap-
proved today by the committee on
ways and means and will be submit
ted 10 the house for action.
One permits tobacco farmer TO
sell tobacco In his neighborhood with
out paying the tax of six cents pound
now required OF him by the govern
ment.
The other amendment increases the
tariff on tobacco from any country
that prohibits the importation OF man
ufactured tobacco from the United
States.
1t is said duty of 20 cents per
ton will be put on iron ore.
Acting In committee OF the whole
the house today began the actual work
of polishing up the Payne bill. Con-
sideration was given to committee
amendments. large number OF which
merely corrected typographical errors.
The fiuor spar duty was changed. AS
originally reported the bill provided
for so cents a ton on the crude ma
terial and $l75 on the manufactured
material An amendment was carried
placing a blanket duty Of $3.50 per
ton on the article crude or advanced.
The rates on mica were changed
from 30 per cent ad valorem crude.
and 35 for trimmed mica. to Ave cents
a pound.
An amendment was carried increas-
ing from Sc TO $40 ton the duty on
iron bars in the manufacture OF which
charcoal Is used as fuel. Steel,
- III L.. W. =
changed from an al valorem duty to
the equivalent specific duty per
pound. To differentiate between bars
and ingots, a slight change was made
amounting to .o3 cents per pound.
A heated colloquy followed the Of
fering OF a committee amendment In
creasing by IA cent per pound the
duty on iron and steel wire smaller
than 13 guage and not larger than 1G
guage.
Latta (Dem., Neb.) asserted that 60
per cent Of all the Is guage wire was
used by the farmers In fencing apd
although quarter cent raise looked
small, 1t meant that the farmer would
have to pay $40 per ton duty on wire.
Chairman Payne denied this. and
Hitchcock (Dem., Neb) took him to
task.
II would rather take the word OF the
gentleman from Nebraska" he said,
than that OF any New York attor
ney. This tariff revision is a farce,
and a confidence game on the people
of the country. and falls particularly
hard on the farmer"
Payne explained that the present
hill was q decrease from the hin plev
rates.

ing emotions. While the state depart
 ment undoubtedly would have appre- ciated the capture of Zalaya and his arraignment on n charge of murder ing the two Americans, Groce and Cannon, there is. in other quarters. a distinct sense of relief in the passing of the Nicaraguan dictator from the scene.
 Had this government been deter mined to stand by the demands made in the note sent by Secretary Knox to Rodriguez, charge d'affaires of the Nicaraguan legation here, it is ac- knowledged that his escape could have been prevented. That no efforts were made to block Zelaya's flight is accepted as sign that the position taken by Mir. Knox was not alto gether tenable
 The right of asylum. under interna- tional laws. is one of the most, rig orously regarded stipulations of such law. and President Zelaya. in demand ing such right from the cOmman- der of the Mexican gunboat Guerrero. registered a request that could not well be refused In the failure of the American authorities to file a protest against the acceptance of Zelaya's person. the Mexican commander had no alternative but to aid him to leave Nicaragua.

BROTHERS REUNITED BY LONG DISTANCE CALL
AFTER A PARTING OF A SCORE
 OF YEARS.
The Actual Physical Meeting Will
 Take Place in Denver.

Denver. Colo, Dec. 25.-Charles II and John w Harrison. brothers. who had not seen or heard of each other Tor twenty years. were strangely re- united here today through n chance telephone call. More than twenty years ago. when F years old. Charles Harrison ran away from his home at Lawrence, Kan. He drifted to Colorado. and became q successful mining prospector. In the meantime John w. Harrison settled in Wyoming and became one of the construction engineers of the Union Pacific serv- ice.
 Today Charles II. Harrison went to the office of $. D. Krump on legal business. and while there the tele- phone rang.
 Excuse me a moment" said the lawyer: i've got n long distance call. and. by the way. it's man by your name-Harrison. He is up in Lara mic"
 Whats his first name:" inquired the mining man. casually.
 "John-John ". Harrison"
 What" yelled the visitor Why. maybe he" and Mir Harrison grabbed the telephone from the law yer's hand.
 'ls this John w Harrisnn?" he asked. He was assured that it was.
 Did you live in Lawrence. Kansas. when you were a kid?"
 Yes
 Did you have an older brother named Charlie?"
 Yes
 Well, this is Charlie"
 Then the brothers had long con- versation. in which each told of his business success. the result being that John w. Harrison tonight is on his way to Denver. where the brothers will meet

FIXED UP AT LUNCHEON.

Managua, Dec 25.-Zelaya was en- tertained at luncheon at Corinto by the late cOmmandant of the port. whose guests included the Mexican minister and the officers of the Guerrero. Ze- lava expressed fear that President MadriZ would not be able to cope with the situation as he was not a military man. He said the government army had been reduced to privations due to the failure of the new government to forward ratiOns and he was glad that the army had surrendered. as a great loss of life was thus averted
 Until the Guerrero steamed away there was great apprehension on the part of Zelaya that the United States would oppose his departure. There was only a feeble demonstration and the leave-taking of Zelaya was unim- pressive No speeches were made. but military band played few airs in hall nearby. American officers ashore spent most of the time making snapshots of what appeared to be a peaceful scene.
 Numerous caricatures of Zelaya. one representing him as being flogged have been circulated in the city
 President Madriz admits that he found no funds in the treasury and a growing unwillingness to accept as legal tender the last issue of paper money by Zelaya is shown. for fear the new administration will declare it worthless. Now a war tax is inev- itabIe
