THE MATINEE HAT
Is Still Causing Trouble in London
Theatres

London, April 3o.-(special)-The matt
nee hat trouble Is not yet a thing of
the past 1t sprang into prominence at the
Prince of Wales theatre the other day
when Mrs. Blanche Bradley, a novelist,
and a friend took their seats In the
stalls under enormous cartwheel hats
The inevitable pratest from behind was
voiced by a mere man. who referred none
too politely to chose ridiculous hats
His tone made the two ladies deter
mined not to accede to the demand, al
though they had been about to uncover
voluntarily. After some more strongly
worded protests, Mrs Bradley and her
friend were summoned outside by the
management, who asked them to remove
their hats or leave the theatre. They
chose the latter alternative, and the
management afterwards returned their
money. Tho check was promptly sent
back again, and Mrs Bradley took out
summons against the management.
The affair has given rise to a lively dis
cussion in the newspapers both Mrs.
Bradley and the theatre manager Frank
Curzon, having set forth their views In
letter to the press.

EUROPE WATCHES
AMERICAN GROWTH

London, April 30-Tariff revisionists
are making the most of the annual re-
port for 1909 of Consul-General Ben
nett. recently made public, relative to
the existing prosperity in the United
States.
According to the report the average
quarterly earnings of trade union men
in the state of New York rose to 1926
dor the September quarter. This indi-
Gates a great improvement in earnings
OH the same quarter of 1903, when the
average was only $207) 1t is also high
er than the previous highest on record
1e07-when the average was 1927.
Unemployment was less than half the
amount in 1908, while immigration rose
enormously compared with that year.
ut is difficult to ascertain precisely
the actual number of men in New York
who are out of employ says the re-
port "Only general opinions can be
CLEANED from the charitable societies who
arc in touch with the unemployed. The
general consensus Is that at the pres
ent moment there are not $4,000 men out
of work.
Looking at the great number of in
coming immigrants arriving weekly in
search of work, the fact indicates that
New York and the neighboring cities
have a great power of absorbing I'M
skilled labor.
This, power of absorbing vast crowds
of immigrants from Europe is one Of the
strongest testimonials to the prosperity
of the States. The total number of i'm
migrants during 1909 was 1860, equal
to nearly 1890 week. OF these 261, 1872
settled in New York, while over five
eighths of the total settled in the east
ern states.
Like practically every country in the
world the United States experienced a

however, has not staggered its investiga-

In this way the Investigating squad

tionable trusts.

IRISH PEASANTS
BELIEVE IN FAIRIES

Dublin, April 30-(Special)-The Irish
peasant still believes in fairies, and the
superstition extends even to the local
authorities in the remote districts of the
west. At meeting of the Athlone Ru-
raj District Council a proposal was dis
cussed to build a laborer's cottage on
the site of an ancient Danish ''rath' or
fort. The tradition is that these raths
arc sacred to the fairies, who held their
midnight revels there, and dance upon
the turf in the moonlight. Interference
with them. the peasants firmly believe,
would have unpleasant results

also made Ii plain that. while he
apologized to the committee for his
