Inauguration Of Taft.

The Grand moving picturer house
will, for this afternoon and evening,
produce a fine and faithful film de-
lineating the impressive ceremonies
marking the Inauguration Of Presi-
dent William Howard Taft, at Wash
ington, on the 4th Of March. II Is
taken directly from the spot and
scene, and Is true to life and details
in all respects and is one Of the
most attractive and interesting offer
ings this popular house has ever
made in this city. All the weather
variations and the distinctive and
brilliant effects that made the great
ceremonial so alluring to the hun
dreds OF thousands that went there
from all over the country, are repro
duced clearly and Interestingly, anC
no man, woman nor child in Astori;
can afford to miss the chance Of see
ing that which is denied the vast ma
jority Of Americans, an Inauguration
Of one OF their Presidents. Remem
ber the film is TO be here only for
this day as it is in heavy demand al
over the endless circuit the reel:
must follow.

MAGNATE or MIsSoURI-PAcI-
FTc HAS FRIENDLY WORD
FOR HIS COLLEAGUE.

NEW YORK, March i3-E. n.
Hartman iS stronger than ever, ac'
sordipg to George J. Gould, in an in
teryicw published here today,
~ admire Mr.. Hartman" de-
ciared the head Of the Missouri Pa
cifc system, "gnd ! admire his cour-
age"
For four years he continued,
''the government devoted all its en-
ergies to attack him and he stood his
ground, practically alone. Every arm
Of the federal law was brought 10
bear against him All the machinery
was set in motion. Everything was
thrown In an uphcaval, the entire
country was plunged into the throes
Of disturbance even panic was
brought on 10 crush him. Great
fortunes were lost and men ruined.
"And Mf. Hartman survived
through II all, untouched and today
he Is stronger than ever II he had
ever done anything wrong he would
surely have been made TO suffer for
Ii in the circumstances, But ] don't
believe he did anything willingly un'
lawful.
"Iiis spirit and courage are extra
ordinary. He has come out Of that
four years OF attack and prosecution
victorious, without q single thing to
his diseredit He has the most
wonderful spirit Of any man ! have
met, Not physically strong. he has
an indomitable will and Is afraid Of
nothing He fought back and won his
battle alone. in the face Of misrepre-
sentation and the most bitter attacks.
When asked II Mr.. Hartman
would ally himself with any Of the
Gould properties, particularly the
| Wabash system. Mr.. Gould said:
mo | don't believe he viii be a
director Of the Wabash. But !
know one man who would welcome
him on the board and that Is myself.
| | know Mr.. Hartman very well. He
and / are very good friends. We
often meet and are on the best Of
terms
In some quarters Mr.. Gould's dec
Iaration Of friendship for Mr.. Harri-
man, Is taken as an indication that
there Is no latent feeling Of rivalry
or even hostility between two rail-
road presidents, owing TO the fact that
one OF them is building the Western
Pacific system to San Francisco as
competitor OF the Union and South
ern Pacific roads.

viii appear at Astoria Theatre to-
night. The play Is a natural sucs
cessor 10 "The Parish Priest III
which Mr., SuIly scored one Of the
greatest triumps 81 his career, but In
dramatic strength and comedy inter-
he ii Is far ahead Of anything Mr..
Suily has ever produced before. The
leading role Is that Of a priest in a
little cattle town in Idaho, where the
church finds scant support, the con-
grcgation Is poor and the pastor
meets with many obstacles and dis
appointments. The part was writ

In "The Matchmaker" Mr.. Sully
has d play stronger in every way
than "The Parish Priest or any
other play IN which he has ever ap-
peared. II ii a romantic comedy in
three acts, well constructed, full Of
dramatic strength and rich in com
edy. The characters are hesh-and-
blood, modern types Of American
men and women. The action Of the
play is rapid, the situations full oi
interest and the climaxes exception
ally worked up. From every point
Of view "The Matchmaker" may be
considered the crowning triumph Of
Mr.. Sully's life.
