Frustrated. Massachusetts politicians

he remains in the contest in that stale.
Friends as we'll rs opponents OF Nix
Lodge characterize the situation as dcli-
cate for him. One Of the kecncst po-
politicians in the Massachusetts, dele
cation says:
It is a question OF how many re-
publicans will go into caucus on the
senatorship. Nobody knows that now.
The republicans have Il majority 81
only 81 on joint ballot, 81 whom !
are understood to be Ames men. Tn
less there arc enough willing to go into
caucus for Lodge to bind the rest Of
the party, it looks very dolcful for Mr..
Lodge. AZ present IL IoohS aN 'ho"S''
there will be hardly enough in caucus
to act, if Lodge remains in the race.
There is strong opposition through
out Massachusetts, TO Lodge. Mr.. Ross
intends to tour the state against Lodge.
whom he wants TO meet III JOINT debate
The caucus is not to Ic called until the
Legislature meets in January. Before
that time his opponents believe Senator
Lodge will Withdraw from the race.
He now believes lie can pull through

slore Roosevelt's first connection with
politics since the disastrous, events Of

the latter's campaign for reelection.
This is believed to be bad omen FOR
Lodge.

Communications Cut of.

Laredo, Tex, Nov. .30.-The abso-
Lutte cutting off of communication With
Matamoras, in the state of Tamaulipas,
last night is believed here to indicate
that the city either has been captured
by the rebels or that it has been Sc
yerely attacked. There are two lines
to Matamoras, both OF which were cut
within five minutes of each other.
Efforts to restore communication
have proven unavailing.
There have been rumors for some
Time that revolutionary attack upon
Matamoras was contemplated.

The Crisis I'm England.

London, Nov. 30,-Thc coming gem
eral elections, with the momentous
questions they must decide, have de-
veloped widespread violence through
out all OF England and Ireland. Parti-
sans, realizing the serious import OF the
impending balloting, seem unable 10
control their passions.
The call for the general elections was
met with an unprecedented apathy in
all England. Then, when the people
realized that the whole fabric OF Eng
lish government rested on the outcome.
interest was awakened TO the fever
pitch.
Scores Of meetings were last night
broken up with violent scenes and to-
days campaigning is almost dangerous
to the parliamentary candidates. Scores
Of 'speIlbinders have been mobbed in
various parts OF England, while many
candidates themselves have been egged.
These outbreaks are not limited to any
section, but are occurring everywhere.
Home Secretary Winston Churchill,
who is taking most active part in the
liberal campaign, has been made the
special target for personal abuse and
has been attacked number of times.
The feeling against the young secretary
is so bitter that when he spoke in Shelf
field today 500 special policemen had
to form a square about him and pro-
tect him from his political enemies.
The situation in Ireland is even more
serious, so far us physical violence is
concerned. There has not been po-

BEAR WAS BREAKING FENCE

A bear story extraordinary comes
from Cheat Mountain, near Wanless,
Pocahontas county.
Dennis Brown baited his bear trap
with apples 'and honey. The next
morning Brown, upon approaching III"
trap, heard bear roaring with pain and
anger. Going nearer Brown saw mon
ster bear standing on his hind legs with
one OF his front legs caught in tho trap.
In his agony and fury the animal had
actually beaten and broken down the
fence and post with the trap, which
weighed about 80 pounds. The drag
chain had caught under another post
and the bear was held securely.
Brown was unarmed and had to re-
turn home after bis gun. When he
came back the animal was still heating
the fence with the heavy trap. In his
rawlings the big bear had bro ken all Of
his teeth in trying to bite off the iron
trap. One shot from Browns gun put
the sufferer out OF bis misery.
The bear weighed 400 pounds gross,
and when dress weighed 2e6 pc unds.

WHY CRANE CRIED QUITS

w. H. Crane and the late Stuart Rob-
son severed their business relations,
which had continued for fourteen
years, in Chicago at the close of their
last season in Bronson Howard's play,
'"The Henrietta" The separation was
perfectly amicable one. A reporter,
however, who persisted in thinking
there had been trouble. begged Crane
for statement, to which the latter
replied:
1T was really a simple matter that
brought about the separation. I was
the one who kicked, and when you hear
the facts l suppose you will think I
am oversensitiVe. You see, from the
beginning of the partnership between
Robson and myself I was forever play
ing his father in all the pieces, in spite
of the fact that l was his junior by
ten years. When we arrived in Chi
cago recently 1 discovered that he had
a married daughter living in the city
who had two children. Then I rebelled
l told Robson that although it would
have hurt my feelings to do so. would
have continued to play his father so
long as l knew nothing about the
grandchildren, but l was darned if |
would play father to a man that I
knew was a grandfather twice over"

WISE WORDS ON
MODERN DRAMA


The following are excerpts from an
article on Great Acting and the Mod
ern Drama" by Walter Prichard Ea-
ton In the February ScribnerS:
1t is because the modern dramatists
have found no poetry and no grea tness
in modern life that they have lost such
firm base as that upon which opera
still rests; and, as a consequence, great
acting seems to have perished for want
of a soil TO grow in"
once opera required singers to in
terpret it; now it requires singing ac-
tors. But the song element remains
the basic one"
"Ibsen himself created two poetic
plays, containing two characters of
such range and depth as to deserve the
adjective great-'Brand and Peer
Gynt.' But as he developed. as his
plays became closer pictures and more
direct commentaries son his day and
generation, his characters shrank, at
times almost into meanness"
Mr. Barrie is the wisest, the most
nearly poetic, the most charming Of
present authors writing for the English
speaking stage. And yet Mr.. Barrie
has never created a great character.
Occasionally he has come perilously
near it, Peter Pan trails a shadow of
the things that never die. Mr. Barrie
it will be noted, least literally renders
life about him, works most from the in
ner vision. But though whimsical
and sound, he is surely not ample. He
misses the sheer size we demand of
greatness"
The most popular of recent success
full American plays, says this author, is
The Music Master" And that play
is, curiously, the least modern in con-
tent, the most old-fashioned and far
away from the new spirit in drama.
The Great Divide and the same au-
thor's new play, The Faith Healer
tremble on the verge of poetry if not |
greatness. To suggest convincingly the |
soul struggle of the former play surely |
requires a capacity for poetry in the |
players and must react to their de- |
I'VE must keep fast hold on our
truthful drama of contemporary life, |
with its intellectual drift, its criticism |
Of life,' its message to the head as well |
as the emotions. Nobody will care a

about old Rome or lands of mythical
But what we thought about
