Standard Oil company had anything
to do with the carbon company.
Mr.. LaFollette attempting to reply
further to Mr.. Burton, Mr.. Hale called
attention to rule 10, prohibiting SEN
ator from speaking more than twice
on the same question. The Wisconsin
senator then framed a new amendment
which he proposed to offer in order
that he might speak upon 1t, remarklng
that he could have concluded what he
had to say in less time than was belhg
consumed in framing the amendment.
Mr. Hale withdrew his objection ana
Mr.. LaFollette reiterated what ne had
said about the National Carbon COM
pany being a monopoly.
The committee amendment was sus-
tanned. 43 to SO. No Democrats voted
in the affirmative, while Senators BeV-
eridge, Bristow, Burkett, Clapp, Craw-
ford, Cummins, Curtis, Dolliver, La
toilette and Nelson voted in the neg
alive.
The amendments to the pumice stone
and window glass paragraphs were
passed over.
An amendment by Mr.. Aldrich was
adopted, reducing from 81 to 20 per
cent ad valorem the duties on articles
not otherwise enumerated, composed
wholly or in chief value of carbon.
Duty on Plate 1ldSS
Seeking TO have adopted the house
provision providing a duty on cast
polished plate glass, Mr. Aldrich was
opposed by Senator Oliver on the one
hand. who wanted higher duty, and
by Mr.. Cummins on the other, who
wanted it lowered, AFTER much dis
cussion the house provision was agreed
with the understanding it would again
be considered.
The paragraph dealing with stained
glass and painted glass was adopted.
The section relating to automobiles
provoked some discussion. Senator
Bailey INQUIRED whether if the rate of
duty of As per cent ad valorem should
be increased it would increase the rev.
enue Mr.. Hale expressed sympathy
with the view of the Texan, who re-
ferred to the automobile as no longer
a luxury, but a nuisance"
Referring to automobiles as snort
ing steam machines" Mr.. Hepburn
said that their occupants SHOUT with
glee as they see the farmers fly through
the air."
Mr.. Beveridge suggested that the
senator from Maine by introducing the
automobile subject had consumed half
an hour.
Mr.. Hale, taking this remark seri-
ously. paid his respects to the senator
from Indiana, saying he had never
waited until the conclusion of the SEES
sion to discuss the bill, lin order that
he might appear in the newspapers, -"
as he intimated Mr.. Beverage was
doing. He added that his young friend,
the senator from Indiana, would Go
we'll to curb his ambitions in correct
ing older senator's"
Mr.. Beverage said he had merely
TESTED.
Mr.. Hale introduced resolution
providing for night sessions, and it
was referred to the committee on
finance.
Mr.. Gallinger offered, and the COM
mittee accepted, an amendment in
creasing the duty on automobiles to
so per cent ad valorem, and leaving
the duty on bicycles and motorcycles
As per cent ad valorem.
The amendment was then adopted.

AMBITIOUS YOUTHS SHOW I'M
PROVEMENT
"The Critic" Presented to a Crowded
House at Auditorium of Hobart
Bosworth Institute of
Dramatic Art

Members of the dramatic classes at
the Hobart Bosworth Institute of ORA
matte Art presented an adaptation of
Richard Brinsley Sheridan's play, THE
Critic" last night before an audience
which crowded the auditorium of the
school.
This was the fourth entertainment of
the year, and friends and patrons of
the school who have watched its prog
ress as it has been demonstrated in
the preceding invitation performances
note an improvement in bearing, enun-
citation and general ability which is
highly satisfactory.
In the play as presented last night
several of the male roles were inter-
preted by young women, and their pro-
ficiency in adopting the makeup, the
stited gait and strident voice of the
old men and gallants of Elizabeths
time was notably successful.
Young women who deserve particular
notice in this respect are the Misses
Edith Sayler, Jessaline Van Trump,
Leila Carton and Agnes Fitzsimmons.
Miss Edna Barnes has a beautiful
voice and displays grace and COM
posure before the footlights. She was
ably seconded in her first scene by
Miss, Betty Parker Smith, whose COM
edy, largely pantomimic, was was of
the enjoyable features of the evening.
Alva Brunton, Leo Pierson and Sher-
man cambridge read their lines with
spirit, and their display of dramatic
fervor when prompted by the author Of
the play ELECTED delightful applause
from the audience.
Hobart Bosworth appeared as Puff.
the author of the play, and the critics
were represented by Miss Sallie Liv-
ingstone land Miss Florence Chase
Other members of the class who ap-
peared to advantage in their roles
were Edna Forsyth, Claire Woodbury.,
Ethel Stoddard, Maude Jackson, Ralph
Barney, Day Ehrenfeld, Katheryn
Kerke and Maude Hannaford.
The play was preceded by a series
of fencing bouts in which the Misses
Agnes Fitzsimmons, Ethel Stoddard
Maude Hannaford and Jessaline Van
Trump participated. R. O.. Wrana,
maitre d'arms of the institute, and
Mons. Alfred Beaudry gave an inter-
esting fencing exhibition. and f. o.
Adler and Leo Pierson appeared in Il
bout with sabers. A Spanish dance by
Miss May Mcfarland and some poses
plastique with dancing by Miss Lillian
Wade. mistress of the dance for the
institute, completed the Introductory
program.
The work of the students was all
spirited and shows the results of
thoughtful direction. and the entire
program was interesting.

there probably will be some altera-
TONS The Republican "progressists"
criticised the house rate as too high,
while Senator Oliver of Pennsylvania
contended it was really inadequate.
The interests considered ranged all
the way from mica to automobiles.
Beginning with the earthenware sched-
ule. a number of committee recon-
mendations were adopted. These in
cluded a marked increase on feldspar,
made at the instance of Senator Brad
ley, and a decided reduction on gyp-
sum. There was also reduction in
mica from the Dingley rate.
Democrats on Tariff
Then came an interruption by Sem
ator Culberson, who outlinede the
Democratic position on the tariff. He
declared that real Democrats were
neither protectionists nor free traders,
but advocates of a tariff for revenue
only.
About four hours time was devoted
to the paragraph fixing a duty on cleo
trio light carbons. The Dingley law
provides a rate of 80 cents per 100,
while the proposed provision adopted
today fixes 65 cents per 100 on hlgh
grade carbon and cents on low grade,
the class most generally imported.
Senators LaFollette and Gore con-
tended that the effect of this amend
ment would be practically to double the
present rate, and insisted the change
had been made in the interest of the
National Carbon company, which they
spoke of as a trust.
Mr.. Gore also asserted that there

OLD GRAND OPERA HOUSE
IN NEW YORK PURCHASED
Executors of Jay Gould Acquire Fa-
nous Theater, Once Refuge
from Mob

NEW YORK, May 21.-The famous
old Grand opera house at Twenty
third street and Eighth avenue mas
been sold by the executors of the Jay
Gould estate to a company specially
formed to purchase it for stated
value of $1,000, 900.
Many memories of Jay Gould and
Jim Fisk are linked with the famous
theater. 1t was here that Jay Gould
and Fisk took refuge from the mob on
Black Friday in 1873.
In the building is a vault of heavy
masonry extending from the basement
to the roof, the floors of which are
reached by a narrow circular stair
way in the stones.
Fisk said he and Jay Gould con-
cealed themselves in this vault when
the Infatuated crowd attacked their Of
fees in Wall street.
One of the boxes in the theater is
known as the Gould box, and is kept
locked. It seats from twenty to thirty
persons, but never has been occupied
except by members of the Gould family.

SEATTLE, Wash, May 21.-Armed
with a baseball bat Miss Clara Ander-
son, a servant in the household of L..
S. Schwabacher, vice-presldent of a
wholesale hardware company, attacked
a burglar in the family residence, Six
teenth avenue and East Union street,
last night, knocking from his hands
jewelry estimated to be worth $1,000
and driving him from the house.
When the man entered the house he
turned on the gas in Miss Anderson's
room. 1t was the chokine and cough
ing caused by inhaling the gas that
awakened her. Before Miss Anderson
succeeded in driving the man from the
house he had knocked her down with
his fist, but she retained her hold on
the ball bat and regaining her feet re-
newed the fight.

TOXIC, May 22.-While the reslgna-
ton of Prince Ito as Japanese resident
general in Korea has not been record
ed as yet, there is no doubt that 1t
will be placed before the emperor with
in a short time.
The appointment of Viscount Sone'
present vice resident general, to sue
coed Prince Ito is equally certain, and
the post thus vacated will not be filled
Immediately.
It is understood that while some
changes in the method of administer
ing the affairs of the Korean empire
have been agreed upon by the foreign
office officials, Prince Ito and Viscount
Some, the general policy pursued will
be that followed by Prince Ito for the
past two years.
Viscount Some will be given prob
ably less of a free hand in Korea than
was allowed his predecessor, Prince
Ito having virtually directed affairs as
he pleased in and for Korea, even to
the extent of debating Japan's policy
toward the empire, to the elder states
men and the cabinet.
The situation is now reversed, and
Prince Ito. Prince Yamagata, presi-
dent of the privy council, and the pre-
mier, Marquis Katsura, will dictate to
Viscount Some the course he may pur-
sue.

SnOOt winch were generally inter-
preted as personal, but the Utah SEN
ator made no reply.
The automobile schedule of the
finance committee was accepted.
Criticism of Beverage
There were many sharp criticisms of
one another by various senators, and
near the hour of adjournment Mr.. Hale
criticised Mr.. Beveridge as seeking
newspaper notoriety by his frequent
speeches. The charge was denied by
merely seeking to do his duty.
Mr.. Aldrich stated that tomorrow he
would ask the senate to fix a day for
voting upon the bill.
Declaring that carbons imported I'M
der the Dingley law in two feet lengths
pay a duty equal to AZ per cent ad
velorem. while the proposed rate of s.
cents per 100 feet would equal a rate
of 70 cents ad valorem, Mr.. LaFollette
said:
ANY other statement made here is
simply juggling the figures"
Mr. Aldrich, becoming impatient,
said: st think the senate was as able
to vote on this proposition five hours
ago."
Mr. Gore brought the Standard Oil
company into the discussion, and also
made a personal reference to Senator
Smoot
1T has been charged" he said, that
the National Carbon comuany is an
adjunct of the Standard Oil company
trust, and we will hear a great deal of
hostility here against the Standard
Oil company. A sham battle will be
pulled off against the great trust but
here is a chance to demonstrate where
senators stand in respect to that great
monopoly. The senator from Utah, the
high priest of high tariff, the anointed
apostle of protection, has stated ehre
that there is a combination between
this monopoly and the electric COM
panies of the country.

He said the electric light companies
merely act as medium for passing
along on carbons to the people.
Responding, Mr. Burton said he
