tinued today before the congressional
investigating committee. Mr.. Davis

the day by declaring that the reclama-

were no longer needed Tho wl,ncs $

Prejudced.
Mr. Davis declared that early In the
present administration he had found
Mr.. Ballnger deeply prejudced
against the reclamation service. He
asserted that Mr.. Ballinger had told
him to prepare the list of lands for
restoration slowly as to not attract
public attention. The witness said he
had made no attempt to influence Mr..
Ballinger as to these restoratons be-
cause he was always met with the
flat statement that Mr.. Garfied's $
withdrawal of the lands had been en-
llTely llle-al.
Davis asserted that Ballnger was
wrong in stating 10 the president that
Mr.. Garfield's Withdrawals did not
truthfully show what they were made
for. There had been no subterfuge, he
said, and II there had been any APP
pearance of subterfuge, it was his
fault and not Garfield's.
The witness revealed in his testi-
mony that there Is quite feud be-
tween the reclamation service and the
geological survey. Secretary Ballln-
ger had depended entirely upon the
geological survey. Mr.. Davis did not
hesitate to criticize the survey and de-
clared that the narrow strips which
had been withdrawn along streams by
the geological survey did not properly
protect the power sites.

Philadelphia. March 1.-THE call for

where 1t was recognized that failure TO
arrive at any arbitral agreement was
the only thing that prevented speedy
ending of the general sympathetic
strike, which has paralyzed the indus
trial life Of Philadelphia and which

deadlock continues. These threats,
perhaps were the very things which
stood In the way Of an amicable ad-

A PLAY WITH A
REDUNDANCY OF
NOMENCLATURE
1.-THE GIRL" WAS ENOUGH FOR
THE MAN, AND THE GAME
NECESSARILY FOLLOWS - A
RoLdCKING PLAY HERE FRI
DAY.

One OF the brightest attractions
booked for the Grand Opera House
will be seen on Friday, November
IL. This is the new farce with mu-
sic and choruses, entitled, "The
Girl, the Man and the Came" in
which Billy (Single) CLIFFORD Is
starring. The piece is brand new,
and is down to the very minute in
style. The plot is complicated, AMI
full OF funny situations. In fact,
the piece might be said to be in two
long laughs, as each act is con-
tinuous laugh. A dozen pretty
songs Of the whlstleable variety are
also features of the entertainment,
and the chorus is one of the spright-
liest and best dressed of any on the
stage this season.
Mr. Clifford, the young star, is
we'll known from coast to coast. He
has gained an enviable place on the
vaudeville stage, and last season he
won a big personal triumph when he
went starring in the musical comedy
1.-THE Girl at the Helm" This sea-
son a new play was written for him,
and the chief role was written to ut
him perfectly. In 1t he is seen as Il
rollcking young fellow, care free
and full of life and spirits. He
gets into all sorts of odd and funny
predicaments. but manages to extrl-
cate himself from them, all much to
the amusement of those who look
on. The piece is bright, refreshing
and full of life and ginger. and the
company supporting the star Is ex-
ceptionally well balanced. Much
care was taken in the selection Of
the chorus, with the result that a
score of beautiful young women are
seen in songs and dances. The piec ?
has been received with enthusiasm
wherever 1t has been offered.
