Breezy western Americans lmpinglng
heavily on sacrosanct British customs and
institutions have been FOR some time a
favorite theme Of dramatists For one thing
the sympathy OF the audience is fairly sure
to be enlisted in behalf OF the man who Is
preaching that democracy and human
equality in which we all profess at least to
believe. Moreover tbs anguish OF English
cousins at ruthless dissertation or venerable
traditions has a funny aspect to average
American eyes.
In this case II Is a North Dakotan OF viz
ginia ancestry who suddenly falls heir to a
peerage, a large r~eut-roI and a long stand
ing feud with the next door neighbor for
another nobleman. In order to insert a
little complication. son and daughter OF one
belted earl are made 70 fail in love with
daughter and son OF the other. The tenn
porary expatriate is likewise destined for a
little cardiac paipitation. his lnamorata
being-that matters may be involved a little
more-the sister Of the hereditary foe.
Two episodes in the play ring quite true.
One is at the end Of the second act. where
the Americans defense OF his country
sounds genuinely felt, and the same time
is minus that blatant iingoism which often
passes on the stage or in stump speech for
the real thing. The other scene is where
the American says farewell to his daugh-
ter, Just about to elope with the son OF
the enemy. These two bits at least were
excellently done by Mr.. Hanford, who Is
this year indulgfng In a variant from his
usual ShakespeareRn roles.
Except Miss Drofnah as the sister-in-law
and John Z. McGregor as a Scotch estate
manager, the support is somewhat color
less. s

Vaudeville at the 0rDheum.
The eight little girls from the land Of
Nippon are a charmingly novel departure
from the ordinary run OF vaudeville. The
Japanese octet in native songs and dances
proved popular yesterday through this
quality OF novelty as well as through in
trinsic merit. The act is handsomely and
pic~turesqueIy staged.
shortly after they had done there was
another Japanese on the stage. or, more
strictly, the unusually clever representation
of one, by an actor named Allen Atwel,
who is one Of the two principals in a
stirring little sketch called "The Code
Book" This Japanese was not nearly so
attractive as the others because he. for
sooth. was a SPY serving as a body ser
want to an American officer. The Code
Book is a bully little ons-act play, adj
mirable from every point Of view, and
most capably acted by Charles p. Ham

MANY BLOCK SIGNAL. SYSTEMS.
Total Mileage in United States at This
Time, 65.75S

Under the direction of the interstate
commerce commission the block signal
and train control board has compiled
and published a report regarding block
signals in use on railroads of the Unit
ed States on Jan. L, 1910. The report
includes also a table showing the ex-
tent of the use of telephones in the
transmission of train orders. The total
length of road in the United States
operated under the block system on
Jan. 1, 1910, was 65,75S miles. OF this
mileage 1927 was automatic and ST.
$50 was manual. During 1909 there
was an increase of 2.047 miles in the
length of road covered by the auto
matte block system and an increase of
4,162 miles in the length of road COW
cred by the manual block system,
making total increase in the miles of
road covered by the block system of
5000 miles.
Ten roads which have not heretofore
reported the use of block signals ap-
pears in this report, and % roads have
made notable changes in their block
signal installations. The telephone is
used to greater or less extent for the
transmission of train orders on about
275 railroads; the aggregate mileage
operated by these companies is 1904
miles, and the telephone is used on
26344 miles of road.

Controversy Between Railroads
in Regard to Space Used.

Department of Agriculture to

TO BRING TEST CASES.

A controversy has arisen between
some of the railroads Of the country
and the larger live stock shippers in
regard to the space in the cars which
must be afforded animals in transit
from one state to another in order to
make unloading unnecessary and still
comply with the 2s-hour law
This law provides that when the ami
mails are carried in cars ''ih which
they can and do have proper food, wa
ter. space and opportunity to rest
they shall not be required to be I'M
Headed. The department OF agriculture
has been appealed to by both railroads
and shippers, and today the position
of the department is tentatively an
nounced as follows:
If cars are not loaded bevond the
minimum weight fixed bv the tariffs,
the department will not for the pres
ent. raise the question as to whether
sufficient space is provided for the ami
mails to rest; but railroads which load
beyond the minimum and do not I'M
load for rest will have to take their
chances of prosecution in the courts
1t is the intention of the department
to institute a number of Test cases and
secure rulings from the federal courts
as to what space must be afforded. II
is claimed by the department that this
is the only way open, since no power
is given the secretary of agriculture by
the law to make rulings and regula-
tons regarding space to be afforded in
cars.
In all cases where live stock is not
unloaded en- route Into properly
equipped pens for rest, water and feed
ing" the cars must be provided with
facilities for feeding and water in
transit, and live stock must, when SO
fed and watered. receive proper feed

WAS ONCE AN OFFICE BOY.
New Katy Assistant General Manager
a Fort Scott Boy.

a Fort Scott Boy.
Fort Scott. Kan, Nav S1-There
has been sort of a shake-up in the
general offices of the Katy at ST. Louis
and as a result there are men who
have been promoted to good positions
and some of the men are known here.
All of them have inf1uencesfn the work
that goes on in this city and one of
them goes to Texas, where he will be
made assistant general manager of the
Texas branch of the NJ K. & T. He
is A. E. Bethard, who for some time
was assistant general manager at St
Louis. To fill the vacancy caused by
this change there has been a young
man promoted. One that has risen
from the ranks in every sense of the
word and who has come to fill an i'm
portant position in railroad circles.
That man is Arthur Durham, who is
known to a great many of the Katy
employees here and who workedsywith
Sherman Knox at Sedalia just 2 years
ago. Sherman has Just heard of his
promotion and he is tickled. He al
ways thought a great deal of the young
man and predicted something good for
him.
Sherman Knox, day operator at the
Katy in this city, was working In Sc
daIia during the year 1898 and he was
watching things pretty carefully. He
became acquainted with a young man
named Arthur Durham. who was an
office boy and was running errands
here and there. He became intimate
ly acquainted with him and often
talked with him about most anything.
If the young man did not know some
thing that was brought up he went out
and looked it up. He got to know his
business and kept on climbing. Dur
ing the II years that have elapsed
Sherman had about lost track of him,
h11t 11sa him rl90Qd and can
talk about "Art." for several hours at
a time.
