INVESTIGATIONS
 OF WATER POWER
Especial from United Press.}

Especial from United PreSS.)
 Goldf1eld, New, Sept. 30-Another con- tribution to the current dispute of the conservation question was made to-day in a speech by Geo. O. Smith, director of the Geoglogica1 Survey at the Amer ican Mining Congress meeting here. After discussing mining matters in their proper land classification Smith said: D
 "As another line of land classiica- tion work in aid of legislation I may name the water power investigations. With earlier records and surveys as a basis the Geological Survey is now &C., lively engaged in examining power sites to which the government still re- tains the title: The purpose is to se- cure the enactment of legislation that may promote and not hinder develop ment of the water powers as rapidly as the industrial, transportation and oth- CT needs of the nation demand. Util- ization of the undeveloped water pow CTS on the public domain involves eith- CT government development or long time leases of the power sites to strong event the law must provide for effec- tive government control that will in sure that the profit to the capital ac- complaining the development cannot impose unjust burdens upon the us- CTS of the power thus generated
 The director referred to the fact that recommendations of the Survey had already resulted in the temporary withdrawal by the Interior Depart ment of 46 power sites on Az rivers in seven of the public land states.

YALE MEN KICK A
 WHEN HATS GO

New Haven. Sept. 30.-Joseph Marion Goss of Autreville. Iowa, and William J. Ralston, of New York city, both seniors at Sheffield Scientific school, living at 110 Vanderbilt hall came into the police station last night with a rather. peculiar complaint to the effect that their hats had been stolen in the course of the rush. They were unable to give any description of the party that took the head coverings but nev- ertheless demanded that the polics promptly stop all other work and start a vigorous search.
 { One of the old customs of the Yale rush has been the stealing of hats and this is the first time in the memory of the present members of the depart ment that a complaint has been made to the police. The two complainants, living in one of the best dormitories of the college. evidently of some wealth. are either unknowingly or in- tentionally violating the old college customs by bringing the town authori- ties into a case of this kind.
 Goss described his head covering as an English cap. made in London. Ral- ston's hat was of gray felt with the mark Vienna on the inside.

Rostrand's .Ia Samarataine" with Sarah Bernhardt as the Samaritan woman. was produced at the Renais- sance Theatre. In that production Christ appeared in the play, and the name Jesus appeared on the pro gramme. Two years later 'La Mar tyr was produced at the Comedde Franchise, with Mounet Suily made up to represent Christ, but appearing un- der the name, of Johannes.
 The play was similar to "The Sign of the Cross.'' well known in America. but the story was reversed-the wom- an was saved, not the man.
 The story of the play told of a ven dor of freaks and monstrosities. who sold two Christians to the Princess Flamesla (played by Mime. Barter.) In the last act of the play Johannes was crucified in the arena, wearing only loin cloth and with blood streaming from his hands and feet. He spoke he died.
 These three performances are signi- f1cant. They show that from the earliest days of the modern drama down to the present generations France has led the world in the introduction of daring realism into stage stories of the life and death of Christ. Bavaria and Switzerland have become more thoroughly identified with plays based on the redemption of mankind than any other country in the world. The famous Passion Play at Oberammer- gau and at Selzach has lasted without a break. according to tard1tion, since 1633, and is now being prepared for presentation in 1910.
 England and the United States have been strongly averse to stage repre- sentations of Christ during recent years 'aThe Servant in the House" is the only play suggesting anything of the kind accepted in this country.

SPECIAL EXCURSION.

The special excursion of the steamer Bridgeport to New York next Sunday affords Bridgeport folks a grand op- portunity to view the mighty fleet of warships assembled on the Hudson river and also to glimpse the magnf- ficent decorations of the metropolis in honor of Hudson and Fulton.
 To view the warships alone is worth making the journey to New York The Bridgeport will stop at Pier 70, East River to let off persons who wish to view the sights in the city and will then encircle the warshtps, proceeding up the Hudson River to a point about opposite Spuytenduyvil.
 The assemblage of battleships is de- clared to be the greatest gathering of war vessels ever seen on this conti- nent. Bridgeport folks will also have the opportunity of viewing the exact imitation of Hudson's Half Moon and F'ulton's CIermont. You will surely want to see these interesting craft. But there will not be room enough on the Bridgeport for all who will want to go. so it is advisable to avoid disap- pointment and get tickets today. The fare for the round trip is $1.00. Chill dren half fare.

STORY OF REMARKABLE PLAY WHICH COMES
 TO JACKSONS FOR THREE NIGHTS NEXT WEEK

This may be because Manson is not put forward as the actual Christ and the exceedingly reverent way in which the character is treated has had much to do with it.
 James O'NeiIl was arrested in Cali fornia a few years ago for presenting an Americanization of the Passion Play. and the English play censor has consistently vetoed all plays in which Christ appeared. Yet the oldest Eng Descent to Hades. or the Narrowing of He11.'
 Few modern. plays have presented the personality of Christ In Paul of Christ is heard in the garden. As presented in this country by Mrs. FIske, the voice is not heard, but one of the characters reports having seen the figure of the Christ. In Ben Hur there is a scene in which the Ma azarene ence is only suggested by dazzling white light. sss-
 Within the present year, however. two plays have been produced which indirectly. but enthusiastically, present Christ on the stage. The first of these ti,rss e Servant in the House." produced in America last Spring; the other is Jerome K. Jerome's "The Passing of the Third Floor Back" which has just been put on in England.
 In the latter play the London lodger played by Forbes Robertson--is ac- cepted by critics and public as sym bolically standing for the Son of God. In "The Servant in the House. the very name of the central character gives clear hint to the symbolicai significance of his personality. The author calls the mysterious Bishop of Benares.

 It is interesting to know that neither Charles Ram Kennedy's play nor Jerome tx. Jerome's later and very similar, drama have caused adverse comment. Both were passed by the English censor. and neither has been attacked by clergymen.t In fact. .ThS> warmly commended by ministers Of the gospel. many of whom have made It texts for sermons in which they frankly urged the members of their congregation to witness the stage story Of reincarnated Christ. In these two plays. the personality of the Son of God is presented indirectly. and the character is treated with the greatest reverence and dignity. That undoubt- edly explains the success of the plays for both English and American audi ences are easily shocked, and the day I of the old religious drama is gone for ever.
 '"The Servant in the House" will be at Jackson's theatre the first three days of next week.

LITTLE BOY KILLED
 BY AN AUTOMOBILE
Skull Crushed by Machine Driven by Wife of Retired Naval Officer-Wo. man Was Being "Brcken in'' as a Driver.

Hartford. Sept. 30.-James Russell Livingston, the 7ryear-old son of Con- stable James Livington of West Hart ford, was knocked down and almost instantly, killed by an automobile on Pennington avenue, near Pleasant street, West Hartford, yesterday aft ernoon. The automobile was being driven by, Mrs. Frank H. Eldridge, wife of Captain Frank H. Eldridee of this city, a retired naval officer, who was in the tonneau at the time of the accident. A chauffeur from the Co., iumbia Motor Car Company, who had been teaching Mrs. Eldridge to drive the automobile was in the seat next to her at the time, but was not run ming the car.
 James Livingston, with several Of his brothers and sisters, was going west on Pennington avenue, when the touring car, driven by Mrs. Eldridge approached from the west, heading to- ward Hartford. The children all got out of the way, except James, who seemed confused and unable to get out of the way of the car, although it is said that the automobile was not going rapidly. The boy was knocked down and run over before the car could be stopped, or turned aside. His skull was crushed. Mrs. Eldridge immediately stopped the automobile and Captain Eldridge and the chauf- conscious, and carried him to the house of F. L. Smith. 1096 Farming ton avenue, where the child died few minutes later.

new JOBS PASSED AROUND
PRISON COMMISSION HANDS OUT
A NUMBER OF THEM.
As q Good Share Comes to South
Georgia We Guess It's All
Right. Who They Are.

ATLANTA, Ga.-The state prison
commission yesterday appointed two
road supervisors and six inspectors
of prison camps, increasing the in
spectors' force eight, just double
what it has been heretofore.
The board has heretofore en-
ployed four inspectors, but two of
these, DR.. w. j. Flanders and A. B.
Coombs, resigned, leaving of the old
force only E. w. Halves of McDuffie
and Hugh Price of Oconee.
The road supervisors named are
H. C. Tuggle of Dekalb, formerly an
inspector, and John Awtrey of Cobb.
These appointments were made I'M
der the new prison commission act
which authorizes the appointment of
as many as four road supervisors
whose duties are to assist the coun-
ties and look after road cOnstruc-
ton generally throughout the state,
They will also act somewhat as chief
or head inspectors.
The new inspectors named by the
board are ElmOre Ballew, of Floyd
county; J. F. Simmons, of Pickens !;
w. F. Walker, of Crawford; Dan
Hall, of Lee; j. A. Riley, of Hous-
ton, and ]. F. Monk. of Colquitt.
The salary of an inspector is ST.
200 a year, and that of the super
visors $500, though the new law
authorizes as high as $500 in the
latter case.
The prison commission found it
practically impossible with the old
force to cover the state. There are,
approximately, $50 convict camps in
the state now, or more than three
times as many as there were before
the present law became of force.
