Other Cities Claim Honor.

Adds B. Browne concurred in the opin-
ion Of President Harries that it would be
a mistake for Washington to attempt to
out that New Orleans and San Francisco
were both here appealing to Congress to
be selected as the place in which to hold
a big exposition at the time of the canal
completion, and that both these cities had
already raised millions Of dollars for the
purpose. Washington, he said, could not
compete with them but this city, he said,
was the place of all others for the formal
official celebration.
E. G. Graham, chairman Of the Board
of Trade committee, which united with
the Chamber of Commerce committee to
take up the matter of celebrating the
canal opening, said he believed the cele-
bration would be an excellent opportunity
to begin the establishment of permanent
sources Of all the states. He said he be-
lieved the day was coming when perma-
nent buildings for such exhibitions would
be erected.
1t was decided to continue the commit
tee and to give it such powers as were
needed to appear before the congressional
committees in the interests of Washing
ton.
Chairmen of Committees.
President Harries announced the ap-
pointment of chairmen of committees as
follows: Gen. John NJ. Wilson, public
buildings; Walter Clephane. charities and
corrections; Henry p. Blair, universities,

Panama Canal Exposition.
The report of the joint committee of the
Beard of Trade and the Chamber of
Commerce on the proposed celebration in
Washington of the completion Of the
Panama canal was submitted to the
board and approved. President Harries,
in laying the matter before the board.
said he believed Washington would be
unwise to attempt to hold an internation-
al industrial exposition at the time OF
the celebration, but that the Naional Cap
ital could very properly plan to hold the
official celebration of the great event,
in which the other nations could be asked
TO join.
President Harries pointed out that Con-
gresS was In no mood to appropriate q
large sum of money in aid Of the cele-
bration and that Washington could not
hope to hold such an exposition without
that there was a strong feeling among
members Of Congress and throughout the
country generally, that the official cele-
bration should be held in Washington.
He said it might we'll extend over a week
and include a grand reception by the

THE DRAMA
1.-THE Spendthrift" Is Presented
at the Hudson Theatre.

Frederick Thompson is presenting AT he
Hudson Theatre a new play by Porter
Emerson Browne, entitled The Spehu-
thrift" the first performance OF which was
given on Monday night.
The play concerns the fortunes or hlch-
ard Ward, a business man with an annual
income of $4,000 and living expenses OF
$4,000. He tries TO keep his head ABOVE
water for a time, but eventually is FORCED
into bankruptcy througl the extravaganza
Of a selfish. vain and extravagant young
wife. In an effort TO avoid the inevitable
crash the wife borrows $4,000 from a
wealthy bachelor friend of none too savory
reputation. She tells her husband that she
got IL from rich aunt who has "one foot
in the grave and the other IN Wall Street"
The aunt denies Il, and Ward finds out the
truth. He forces his wife to summon her
friend TO her bed chamber al midnight, and
a stormy scene ensues, in which Ward I'M
Justly accuses his wife of infidelity and
discharges revolver at the feet of Suf-
fern Thorne.
The wife leaves the house. and for five
months earns her own living all a COVER
ness. Her whereabouts is discovered by
Philip Cartwright, friend of Wards, and
a reconciliation is effected.
The uIav contains nothing that is new,
but it has the merit of telling familiar
things in an interesting way. There are
many clever things said. principally by
Philip Cartwright. the friend, whose part
is well PLAYED by T. Daniel Frawley, and
Gretchen Jams the aunt Miss Matte Fer
guson). who really does the best acting
in the piece Edmund Breese. in the prin-
cpal part Of Richard Ward is forceful
and convincing He gives one the impress
sion of power in reserve for moments when
it is needed. But he lacks theheart quail
ity in his personality and his acting and
he therefore fails TO enlist the sympathy
Of the audience to the degree that might
otherwise be his.
Miss That's Magrane as Frances Ward.
the butterfly wife, is true to type. and does
the work acceptably. one naturally does
rot feel much sympathy for her until she
sees the error of her ways, and then, I'M
fortunately. her acting falls off in its con-
vincins quality. T. Daniel Frawley is re-
freshing in his manner of acting, which is
manifestly free from staginess.
Jack Devereaux and Gwendolyn Piers
play the parts of Monty Ward. Richard 5
brother, and Clsrice Van Zandt, Frances
Wards sister, who marry on 800 a month,
go West, make a strike" and come back
10 New York I'm five month. Their story is
a little improbable and their parts are
only fairly well enacted. Robert Cain as
Suffern Thorne is effective in the minor
role Of a cad. Miss Matte Ferguson re-
ieves many dull moment by means of her
sensible views Of life, which are always
expressed in Straightforward and humorous
fashion.
