THE JAP"
Statement by Howard Russell, iu.
thor OF Baker Stock Company's
Sensational Offering Next
Week.

There seems TO have been an e,
roneous impression created In the
public mind as to the tme intent ana
character OF my new play The Jap.
Instead OF iurid melodrama, tending
TO foment and excite public appre.
henslon as TO the Japanese question
II has been. on the contrary, the stud.
led design and conscientious effort
OF the author to allay excitement and
quiet the present agitation by the
presentation OF certain facts relating
TO the merits OF the American point
OF contention and the attitude and
purpose OF Japan with respect to rec
ogniZlng and complying with the de-
mands OF the situation.
'The play is aimed to correct the
mistaken view OF a large part of the
American public as 10 the true fect-
ings OF the Japanese government
and OF It's better class OF people TO-
wards this country. Aside from j-s
t!meliness' on account OF the recent
renewal OF discussion growing out or
the proposed new legislation attempt-
ed in California; the play cannot raIl

leading statesmen, headed by Presf.

the government officials OF Japan, TO
quiet agitation and uneasiness u
both countries, growing out OF tne
supposed possibility OF war.
Aside from its political features
the play is a society drama, and m
wolves certain distinct types and
characters OF life, both in America
and Japan, dealing especially with a

new SNOW RECORD.
Has Already Lain on Ground % Days
in December

This is the beginning of the end of
the snow which has whftened the
ground since December 4. Since that
date the ground has been covered
all over Kansas and all records for
the duration of snow in the month of
December are broken. 1t is hardly
likely that the snow will have entire
ly gone before New Years. but the rec
ord is already broken. Also. the
month of December just closing is the
wettest December on record, the pre-
cipitation being PIT inches, as against

How Vassar Girls Managed to Hear
Suffragist Lecture.
(By Special Correspondent

tBV special corresponding
New York City, Dec 27.-The
present strike of the shirtwaist max
ers has brought to the front a young
lady scarcely out of her teens. OF
whom the world is bound to hear
more in the future. Broadly educated,
possessed Of strong magnetism and a
determination to succeed in whatever
she undertakes and backed by wealth,
Inez Mulholland stands today the
champion OF womans rights, whether
they are political. or social. It will
be remembered that this fall she tried
TO enter Harvard law school, but was
refused admittance on the ground that
the school was not open to women.
One of the first to come to the aid
of the striking shirtwaist makers was
this young girl, who only last June
was graduated from Vassar college.
Like Roosevelt who organized the
rough riders to fight Spain, she or
ganized her classmates to fight for the
shirtwaist makers. During the early
part of the strike she and her faith
full band of Vassar girls were on con-
staQt duty along with those whom
they were endeavoring to assist.
Up in Poughkeepsie they still laugh
at one incident, which shows the de-
termination of this youthful fighter.
Miss Mulholland was even then a
strong advocate of woman suffrage
and had been instrumental in secur-
ing one of the leading English suf-
fragists to address the students of
Vassar. A cold damper, however, was
thrown upon her plans when the au-
thorities refused to grant the suffrag-
list the privilege of lecturing in the
stately halls of Vassar college. Moth
ing daunted. an enthusiastic band of
students aroused to a high pitch of
excitement followed Miss Mulholland
to the village cemetery adjoining the
campus. where. surrounded by the
grim memorials to the dead, they re-
ceived an impressive lecture on
woman suffrage.
Miss Mulholland's mother was an
actress and she herself possesses I'M
usual ability as an amateur. During
her four years in college she was the
leading factor in all theatrical produc-
lions among the students She pos
sesses a striking appearance and led
in ell college sports. Altogether. she
presents one of the most interesting
figures in the fight for woman's rights.
