Congressman Hard wick came promi-

full lieutenants during the 29-hour ses-

the wee small hours of Friday morning,

hausted and when he needed not only
counsel and advice, but a cool, level

fight on the floor. Mr.. Hardwick was
equal to the occasion, and his work re-

CRITIC TASTES OF CRITICISM.
Laurence Irving Denounces Alan Dale
From the Stage.

New York, Jan. 13.-Taking his au-
dience unaware last night at the end
of the second act of THE Affinity"
which is being played in the Comedy
theater, Laurence Irving, son of Sir
Henry Irving, attacked Alan Dale, a
dramatic critic on a morning paper.
The actor said he had been unjustly
criticised by Dale and that the news
paper man was a "blot of scum"
"He comes from Birmingham"
shouted the actor, "and is, therefore,
an Englshman. All | can answer to
that is, as the line runs in this play,
forgive us He is a counterfeit Ber-
nard Shaw, and a poor, cheap, highly
paid vituperator."
Lee Shubert issued the following
statement when he learned of the cur
tain speech;
I'VE did not know that Mr.. Irving
had any intention of making such a
speech, and if we had known, of
course, we should not have permitted
it under any conditions. We regret
the incident exceedingly. | believe
that the critics have a perfect right to
express their opinions as they see fit
and it has always been our policy to
uphold and respect the dignity of the
critics position, whatever may have
been the commercial effect of his ar
ticles, for or against any Of our enter,
prises."
