MRS. LESLIE CARTER TONIGHT.
Famous Actress Will Present "vasta
Herne" at kerredae Theater.

Mrs. Leslie Carter who appears to-
night at the Kerredge theater in
"Vesta Herne," was born at Lexing-
ton, Kentucky, and i'm her early life
had no thought of a stage career. She
made her first appearance on the stage
i'm mons speaking part i'm 1887, and for
three years thereafter she played I'm
a number of plays I'm minor parts. She
MADE her debut at the Broadway the
alter, New York, in 1890, playing the
part of Kate Graydon in "The UglJ
Helyett" playing the leading part. She
continued in this musical comedy both
i'm New York and on tour, until 1893.
At this period she retired from the
stage for two years and devoted her
self assiduously to the study of her art
and when she re-appeared 1t was in
Washington. ID. c., in 1.-THE Heart of
Maryland" on October 22 1895. 1t was
so great a success that she continued
in this play for three years in this
country and she took it to London, and
made her first appearance on the Eng
lish stage at the Adelph theater on
April Q. 1898. In December, 1898, she
appeared at Washington as the he
rome of "Zaza" which afterward had
a long run i'm New York, and in which
she appeared at the Garrick theater i'm
London on April 16. 1900.
In the following year she appeared
in Washington for the first time as
Nine. DuBarry in Belasco's play of
that name, appearing in the same

MYeTERY STILL UNsoLVED.
Nothing Yet Learned of Whereabouts
of Fred Simmer Of Ripley.

T-cd Simmer, the Ripley young man
who eluded arrest on April 1 when
two officers came after him on a
charge of issuing fraudulent checks.
has not yet been located. Reports have
been circulated that the young man
had been seen in Hancock subsequent
to the time of his disappearance, but 1t
is thought that it was n case of mis-
taken identity. The theory has been
advanced by some that through fear of
arrest and its possible consequences
he may have committed suicide by
jumping into the lake, as he was last
seen by employees in the Quincy smelt-
ing works yard making for the dock
while rushing away from his captors.
The officers searched the vicinity of
the dock at the time, but saw no signs
OF his presence in that neighborhood'

POSTAL CLERKS MEET.
Seek Greater Freedom IN Dis
cussiOn of Com DI0ints

The New York local OF the National
Federation of Postoffice Clerks held one
Of the largest delegate meetings it has
had for several years yesterday at Schutz-
en- Halle, No 2 St Marks Place Dele
gates from branches in all the forty sta
tons and departments Of the Postoffice in
the city met TO consider the order issued
by President Taft some time ago forbid
ding the postoffice clerks to make efforts
to influence legislation and to take up a
letter from President Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor to the
clerks in reference to Legislation in their
behalf. Some of the clerks have been re-
moved in different cities for violation of
President Taft's order and the clerks take
the stand that the order be construed
as an invasion Of the rights of free speech
and free press and ought to be modified
In opening the meeting President Henry
G. Goggins referred to the bill which is
pending for eight hour workday, with
the alternative of a forty-eight hour work
ing week, which he said the American
Federation Of Labor would support. and
then read the Gompers letter Gompers
in this letter said that a resolution in aid
of the eight hour bill came before the
American Federation of Labor convention
in Toronto and referred to the legis-
lative committee of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor, which would do everything
possible to aid in protecting the interests
of the clerks in Congress.
The meeting passed resolutions COM
mending the stand taken by the American
Federation of Labor and pledging the
clerks TO furnish all necessary data in
their power. Independent Of aiding the
American Federation of Labor in its eff
forts in support Of the bill for free speech
and free press, it was also decided to
agitate for a modification of Mr.. Tafts
order. The postal savings bank bill was
unanimously Endorsed, and 1t was an
nounced that the same action was being
taken by locals in other cities.

Conditions existing in telephone exchanges

in the report recently sent to the Senate

were compelled TO walk up from to

thirds of the complaints heard were be-
cause of the lack of elevators.
In some cities imposing medical or physi-
cal examinations required OF appli-
cants The height is often determined with
out the applicants knowledge by young

versaton while she compares the level of

always successful in obtaining them. Girls
are put into training schools for a four
weeks course before they are placed al the
switchboard.
Wages for telephone girls vary from
highest monthly average of s36 IS in New
York City to So 40 in Nashville. Tenn. In
some Of the smaller cities the average goes
even lower. particularly in the South. The
Bell company employs 1926 women oper-
ators, at an average monthly wage Of $40 81.
Efficient service is possible up to 225 calls
an hour for each girl. She cannot answer
more than that without injury TO herself
or injuring the service. The bureau has
reached the conclusion that the operator
who has not enough to do TO keep her con-
stantly busy, however. does not properly
attend to what she has
Commissioner NELL strongly urges the
practical elimination OF overtime for oper-
ators and says this can be brought about
if the larger cities will set the example

the Bell operators have about IS per cent
Of overtime, and IN New Orleans as high
