ASK RECESSION
FROM POSITION
BOARDS OF TRADE PETITION
GOVERNMENT TO NOT INSIST
ON GERMAN MARKET.
SAY AMERICAN BEEF MARKET is
SUFFICIENT WITHOUT SHIP
ING 1T AWAY.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Alarmed
by the critical turn in the tariff con-
troversy between the United States
and Germany, appeals from chambers
of commerce and boards of trade of
several cities were made to the nat
EQUAL board of trade in session here
urging that Dody to recommend that
the state recede from it's position that
American beef and cattle must be ad-
mitted to Germany.
Resolutions presented to the nat
ional body maintain there can be no
advantage in insisting on a German
market for American beef because the
home consumption is increasing d,
such a rate as soon to command all
the supply.
1t is pointed out that the agrarian
party, in control of the reichstag, has
stood for the principle that farmers OF
Germany must supply it's beef, ano
that the imperial government could
not admit the American product if il
would. A commission to settle the
dispute is suggested.
| Many delegates bringing from thei,
home cities demands for an investiga-
| ton into the high cost of living hav'
made that subject foremost. II.
national body today decided to appoint
determine the reasons for presen
prices.
A movement was launched to create
a national headquarters and legisla
tive bureau in Washington.

Why Crane and Robson Separated.


William H. Crane, the Frohman
star, who appeared here this winter in
that amusing and delightful comedy
Father and the Boys, has at last
given out the true story of the cause
of his severing the dramatic partner
ship with the late Stuart Robson, a
partnership which for fourteen years
caused the names of Robson and
Crane" to be linked as closely in the
public mind as Gilbert and Sullivan
or Beaumont and Fletcher. The sep
aration was, in fact, an amicable one
but stories of ill-feeling were indus
triously circulated and as long as no
reason for the partnership dissolution
was given out by the principals they
were credited. Finally, one reporter
came to Mr.. Crane determined to fer
ness. And" said the comedian,
Il told it to him. 1t was
really quite simple matter that
brought out cur separation. | was the
one that kicked, and when you hear
the facts you will not be surprised
unless you think that l have no
feelings at ALL You see from the be-
ginning of our partnership l was
forever playing RobsOn's father in
all the plays We produced in spite of
the fact that l was his JUROR by ten
years. When we arrived in Chicago 1
discovered that he had a married
daughter in the city who had two chill
dren. Then l rebelled. I told Robson
that although it would have hurt my
feelings to do SO | should have gone on
playing his father as long as l knew
nothing about the grand children but

to a man that l knew was a grand
father twice over. This said Mr.
Crane, lis the only true and authorized
blown in the bottle version of my
dissolution of partnership with Mr..
Robson"

In defending this line of evidence
Prosecutor Heney asserted that these
letters are significant when compares
with a so-called "Zabriskie letter
written in answer to one from j. ~
Zabriskie, early in 1902, in which Zab-
riskie called attention to alleged
frauds in the Cascade forest reserve
said to be perpetrated by Hyde and
Benson" in the Zabriskie letter, Her
mann assured Zabriskie that only two
exchanges had been made by Benso&
and that both Of these had unquestion-
ably been legal. The prosecution con-
tended that Hermann purposely ignOr-
ed Zabriskies reference to Hyde and
also that Hermann possessed the alleG-
ed knowledge that Benson was sill
ent partner in the firm of j. A. Hyde
and company. Heney also declared
that this correspondence is collateral
evidence not alone that Hermann was
/
generally perpetrated in the creation
of forest reserves but in addition to
taking no steps to prevent the alleged
| frauds Herman was bending his efforts
to mislead citizens who called his at
| tention to them. The prosecutor de-
| Jared Furthermore that during this per-
iod Hermann was Withholding from the
secretary of the interior the fact that
his attention had been called to speci-
fic cases of fraud for fear it would de-
lay the creating of the Blue mountain
reserve The balance Of the day was
devoted to the introduction of a mass
of documentary evidence, most of
concerning the part taken in the seDa-
toraI election of 1901 by Mays ana
other Oregon politicians. The hearing
will continue tomorrow.

had it not been for the fantasy of Ma
thaniel Hawthornes, namely, the NOR

from "Mosses from an Old Manse,
this play would never have been writ

his play, published recently, among
other things said: Without partlcu-
larizing the other substances of Haw-
thorne's consummate sketch, the di-
vergence have made may be summed
I'D briefly. The Scarecrow' Feathertop
of Hawthornes is the imaginative ep-
itome or symbol of human charlatan-
ism, with special emphasis on the cox
combry of fashionable society. In his
essentially superficiality he is charac-
terized as a fop, strongly self-satisfied
with nabby little nose thrust into the
| air. And many a fine gentleman,
says Mother Rigby,' has a pumpkin
head as we'll as my scarecroW. HIS
hollow semblance is the shallowness
| of a we'll digested conventionalism'
which had incorporated itself with his
| substance and transformed him into
work of art But the clothes in this
case were to be the making of the
man. and so Mother Rigby, after fit

| finery, endows him, as a finishing
touch with a great deal of brass
which she had applied to his fore
head, making it yellower than before.
With that brass alone quoth she

CAST OF LA sAMARITAINE. -
ASTOR THEATRE
The Aviator, James Montgom
erY's Farce. Is Produced.

The Aviator Is farccaI comedy. It
was written by James Montgomery and
was presented for the first time in this
city at the Astor Theatre last night. 1t
well played. and the first night audi
ence seemed to like it.
In the third act a Rieriot monoplane is
introduced on the stage. The engine IS
started: Mr.. Wallace Eddnger. who plays
the leading part. jumps into his seat. pulls
the lever and away he goes into the air
Just the curtain falls. It very
realistic No aviator ever made quicker
ascent The wires were scarcely visible.
According to Mr. Montgomery story,
The Aviator is not an aviator at all.
He is simply the author OF a popular novel
bea ring that name. He goes to & summer
hotel in the Berkshire Hills in search Of
much needed rest, taking with him his
chum. Hopkinson Brewer Jack Devereux).
Street is soon found TO be the author
of the red-covered novel that all the girls
in the hotel are reading. Brewer makes
the fatal mistake of telling the young
women that the story Of a flight in The
Aviator" was an actual experience of
Streets. Street becomes popular at once.
The girls all insist upon his telling over
and over again the story OF his first flight.
4 French aviator comes to town and the
proprietor and guests of the hotel arrange
for Street TO meet NJ. Gaillard. the French
man Frederick Peuding). Street tries to
get out of the difficulty in various ways,
but without success. His friends will not
listen TO it. So a mechanician, sam Robin
son edward Begley) is hired from near
by aero club, and Bobby" Street is given
lessons He makes the flight and, of course,
wins and, incidentally. he becomes d hero
In the sight OF the girl whom he loves.
The piece IS well punctuated with bright
lines and clever bits of stage business. 1t
is a thoroughly mechanical piece. but it Is
arausing-which Is all that it was intended
TO be. The funniest man in the cast is the
big. fat mechanician. Edward Begley. who
caused more laughter than all the rest com
bined Mr.. Eddinger was successful IN
the star part. He was sincere at all times,
but he so overdid the cOwardly side OF
Streets nature that one didn't have much
interest in him. Miss Emily Lytton read
her lines beautifully and acted with charm
ing simplicity and finish. II was very much
