Ambitions of Players

Eastern papers are publishing
in nicely captioned stories the
ambitions which eastern players
harbor. I thought it good plan
to get expressions from some of
the local artists and other play
ers who have been here in this
line. Here they are, commencing
with Battling Nelson. who was a
player at the Valencia:

Battling Nelson.

lives has right to help in the max
ing of the laws of the land just the
same as man has. Is that being a
suffragist? Very well, then I'm one.
But honestly, 1 don't think it would
make particle of difference anyhow.
There are just as many bad women as
bad men, and the only thing that would
be accomplished would be job or two
more in each precinct for the men who
would count the extra votes.
But who cares what Rose Coghlan
thinks about politics anyway?
you didn't come up here to discuss
that subject or religion either. but now

What we should do in America is
to label the theaters. Tack a sign on
EN- so-that a patron may know in ad-
vance whether it is a house where prob

spicy farce is being exhibited or where
romantic dramas are on. That's the
way it is in Paris. No one would think
of taking young girl to Palais Royal
or to the Comedie Francaise. Yet the
productions there given have a place
in the drama. They discuss things
which are better for the airing they
get. and they tell truths--in a blunt way,

If Commissioners Take Action as I

The Commissioners have power to make

boats to children. Corporation Counsel
Thomas probably will transmit this opin-
ion to the District heads
Following such an opinion it is expected
the Commissioners will promulgate a pro-
hioitive amendment to the police regula-
tions.
The suggestion of the necessity of such
regulation followed the drowning OF
young Elmer Lacey In the tidal basin re-

MISSING FROM THE SEMINARY
YOUNG HEIRESs OF ANN ARBoR
MYSTERIoUsLY DISAPPEARS.
Miss Edwina Auerswald Leaves
School With Suit Case Unbe-
known to Principal.

The report that Miss Edwina Auerswald,
a young heiress of Ann Arbor, Mich,
has been missing from the Martha Wash
ington Seminary, 1914 14th street north
west, since April Il has aroused the en-
tire police force Of the District, and
every effort is being made to locate the
young girl.
E. w. Thompson. principal of the
school, called at police headquarters late
yesterday afternoon and told Chief of
Detectives Boardman of the girls disap-
pearance, and asked that every effort be
made to locate her, as he stated the
mother of the girl was in state of
collapse because Of her disappearance.
When a reporter for The Star spoke
to Prof. Thompson today about the dis
appearance Of Miss Auerswald, he said he
received information about IL O'Clock
from an intimate friend of the young
woman that Miss Auerswald was in this
city yesterday. Inspector Boardman has
written to the girls mother to ascertain
If she has learned of her daughters S
wherea bouts. 1t Is not believed there is
any love affair connscted with Miss
seems to know the cause Of her abrence.
AT any rate, no one seems to be willing
TO give an opini IN.
Miss Auerswald, who is twenty-five
years of age, is an accomplished pianist.
She was sent to the local school last
January. that she might finish her course
IN music. She Is said to have left the
breakfast table while her schoolmates
were partaking of their meal, and gone
to her room, where she hastily packed a
suit case and left the building. Nothing
has since been heard from her at the
seminary.
The mother of the missing girl came to
washington last week when she heard
that her daughter had disappeared. Mrs
Auerswald fears that some harm has be-
fallen her daughter. She later left for
home, and is anXiously awaiting the de-
Velopments here.
Description of Missing Girl.
1t Is stated the mother wrote to her
daughter recently to come home for the
summer, but the young woman told her
companions at the school that she would
not leave Washington. On the day she
disappeared a maid is said to have seen
her leave the place with a suit case and
a DoX. but presumed she was on an err
rand In the city and failed to notify the
principal. Later the maid furnished a
description of the girls dress.
feet four inches tall. weighing from lol
TO $50 pounds, medium build, fair COM
piexion. blond hair. blue eyes, very at
tractlVe and good talker. When last
seen she wore blue cloth or serge suit.
white shirt waist, tan or brown straw
hs trimmed with two black feathers and
Ca. ried straw suit case.
Capt. Boardman stated TODAY that &c
the young girl is of age the police can
DO nothing In the matter except locate her
and notify her parents of her where
abouts.
