Local Republicans Say Washington
Report Is Unfounded.
STATE LEADERS MEET ON MARCH 3
Rumor Originated at capital Was To
Effect That Virginia G. o. p. Would
Have q "Dry" Plank in This Years
Gubernatoriai Platform.

The report that was sent ont from
Washington Yesterday morning TO the
effect that Ii prohibition plank proba
bIv would be inserted in the Virginia
Rc,ublican gubcrnatioral platform
this year was emphatically denied
by Republican leaders IN this city
last night
One prominent member of the party
stated thai he was OF the opinion th3a
such NOV" had never been con
sidered by the State oreaniaztion,
at any time.
He stated that he was c0gnizant
OF the fact that meeting OF about
twenty districc leaders and their
licute nants. presided over by State
Republican Chairman Slemp. would
be held in the Ebbit House. Washing
ton, on the night of March , and
that i: would be attended by num-
Der of prominent leaders in the party
from this city. but he was positive
that the subject of prohibition would
not come up for consideration.
The meeting will be held on the
date mentioned on account of the fact
that most of the Republicans of the
State will be in Washington al the
time to attend the Inauguration and
il will be a good opportunity TO get
them together.

PAVING Forces viii BE Busy on the

Days.

Actual work on concrete curb and
gatter was commenced on Twenty
sixth street at Washington avenue
yesterday morning by Alsop 4 Pierce,
who have the contract for all Of the
curb and gutter TO be put down In
connection with the new paving. I'm.
leas the weather interferes, block

In the next few days. and Contractor
]. W. Davis probably will Legin laying
PEBBLES block on Twenty-sixth street
not later than next Monday.
Pavement can be laid only after
the curbing is in place, therefore the
progress on the paving will depend
altogether upon the Roadway made
by the CURRIERS'.
Messrs. A'sop & Pierce. who have
bee,r freely criticised by the city Of
ficials and the public for their de-
lay in beginning work on the curb
ing. made statement yesterday to
the effect that the weather conditions
prevented them from complying with
the engineers instructions to begin
work on January ). bat they had
been ready and anxious to commence
since February Is. week ago last
Monday Since the latter date. they

TIC say that the large audience
last night 10 see Nat {. Goodwin and
Miss Enda Goodrich in The Master
Hand" was disappointed. would be
putting it mildly. Mr.. Goodwin 5
admirers were surprised and shocked
to see the comedian appear to such
poor advantage, and the people wro
paid two dollars for STATS We're posi-
lively aggrieved. They had well
grounded grievance. Once or twice
during a season some particular star
or o big musical organization insists
upon having the Academy prices
raised to the two dollar, limit. and
when this Is done the patrons en-
pect something extraordinarily fine.
There was nothing extraordinarily
fine to be seen last night except
the wonderful beauty OF Miss Good
rich-and playgoers do not care to
see beauty alone. even when il Is In
the form Ct a splendid woman gowned
in the loveliest OF Partisan creations
at two dollars per.
The Master Hand" is sort OF
comedy drama. built around an urat-
tractive story. It has bright spots
here and there. but is faulty In con-
struction, and hardly would be worth
while even II its scenes had been
more cleverly worked out.
Mr.. Goodw!n's .nimitable quiet
comedy methods are not used in the
portrayal OF the principal role. that
Of John Bigelow. a Wall street finan-
cier. Rigelow Is made out to be a
sort Of combination OF John Burkett
Rider and Tweedlepunch, and the
combination Is not attractive.
Miss Gl,cdrich is not a srea'
actress. but then there have been
"costars' and indeed innumerable
fuIi-fiedged stars. who could not act.
and after seeing this cc-star one is
quite willing TO forget that she is
not Duse or Bernhard. No wo-
MAJ Of her extreme personal beauty
has ever developed great historical
ability, certainly within this genera
iion.
The company supporting the stars
Is capable one and several OF the
me mbers. notably Miss Zefie Tills-
bury and Lowell J. sherman. deserve
a better cause for their work. The
scenic production. TOO. is much 100
goOa for the play inree fine set

For Cuba Viii be Troublesome Task
For Local Agents.

Collector OF Customs J T.. II. stuart
was notified yesterday by the treas
ury department. that Senur Jose X,

for the Republic of Cuba for both TINS
port aud Norfolk.
The new official is from Havana
and he is expected to arrive here in
a few days to take charge OF Cuban
affairs Mr. George \. Schmelz.
who has been acting as the Cuban
representative here for some months.
will turn the office over to the new
representative as soon as he arrives.
fl seems TO be the general opinion
amcng the shipping men here that 1t
viii only be question OF a short
time before II will be necessary for
the Cuban government to have a
separate representative for this city
and Norfolk. as the coal business OF
this aOrt with Cuban ports has in
creased in the past year to such an
extent that ii will be almost imrOs'
sible fer one man to handle both
ports.
II the new representative IS sta
toned in Norfolk permanently. 1t. Is
said thai the cCal men here will re-
quest that representative be ap-
pointed for this port alone, so that
il will not be necessary for the
agent consignng a cargo to go 10
Norfolk every time ii is necessary
TO clear ship through the custom
house for the Cuban trade.
