BOOKS.
The hiQh Hand.

The High Hand" by jacques
Futrelle which is published in book
form by the Bobbs-M Merrill Co., is an
exciting tale of political life, dealing
particularly with the ways OF the
CRATER and the politician who is in
II for what he can make out OF the
game
II tells OF the political fortunes OF
Jim Warren. a man who goes into
the legislature inspired by the
examples OF those who have grown
rich from the spells Of office, but
finds a feminine influence that turns
his strength into the work OF reform.
II describes with detail that shows a
pretty careful study OF the possibili-
ties, the way in which a legislature
may be handled through the infiu-
ence OF money. Jim Warren collects
the graft as he had been expected TO
do, but he collects it for the purpose
Of establishing his case against the
grafters.
The problem, however, is not a
simple one by any means. Many
and devious are the ways OF the
gang to escape from the net or to
put Warren in a bad light and II is
a hard fight to bring the reform side
before the public, but, Of course, he
wins, and is elected governor as a
reward of merit in the last chapter.
The High Hand is a fascinating
tale Of intricate political plots and
that keep everybody
guessing as to the final outcome I'M
I'll the author is ready to let you into
his confidence.

one of the two or three dominating
figures on the American stage.
There is always a certain fascina
ton about stage folk and their lives.
They always carry with them some
of the glamour OF the footlights and
we like TO read about them. Mr..
Frohman, as might be expected, has
great fund OF anecdotes and stories
of the great actors and actresses who
held the boards years ago.
His tales of the old Lyceum theater
are especially interesting. Some OF
the best chapters tell OF the early
work OF E. II. Sothern. Other good
chapters are the Experiences with
Authors, Why Plays Fail, and the
Composition OF Plays"
The book is simply written and
everything is told in plain converse
tional style that adds an impression
OF verify to the stories as they are
told.
Memories of a Manager is inter
esting to any playgoer and as a docu-
ment on the history of the stage in
America should rank as a distinct
contribution.

Although 1t has been In operation only
a very few days, the new lunchroom at
the navy yard. which is being conducted
by the men themselves, already has dem

since 1t was opened the lunchroom has
claimed the patronage of between 500 and

For years prior to this time the only
accommodations for the men of the navy
yard at lunch time were in number OF
little restaurants. privately conducted, in
the streets just outside the main en-
trance to the yard. As result of recent
agitation the authorities decided to build
a lunchroom inside the yard, where both
quick and satisfactory service could be
assured. Work on this structure. which
is located at one end of the gun shop was
practically completed the middle of last
week
Just prior to the completion of the
lunchroom the thirteen chief mechanics.
in charge of the different departments in
the yard, were called together and to
them was intrusted the task of naming a
committee of men to take charge. This
committee made a contract with an out

his new post, which was CONSIDERED a
promotion.
His funeral was held yesterday. 1t is
expected that his body will be brought
to the United States for interment.
State Department officials are at a loss
to understand why Consul Gard took
his life. Notification of the suicide was
sent by the State Department to George
s. Agnew, a relative, at New York.

LINK POWER AND LOVE,
SAYS DR.. DAVIDSON
Theme of Address Delivered
Before TenIey Home and
School Association.

The necessity of linking power with
love and not allowing love alone to rule.
was the theme of an address delivered by
DR.. William M. Davidson, superintendent
of schools. at a meeting of the Tenley
Home and School Association. held at
Masonic Hall, Tenleytown. last evening.
IF we will get anywhere in discipline
we must link power with love-" the
speaker asserted. THE great danger OF
this transitional period in which We are
today is that we will become lax in our
discipline The speaker declared that
Henry Drummond had told only part of
the truth in his great sermon when he
said that love is the greatest thing in
the world
Dr. Davidson spoke OF the home or the
old days, i'm which obedience was the
fundamental thought. He did not believe
in the old idea that the rod. the rule ana
the strap must always be in evidence, or
that learning could not be gotten with
out clicking" or that obedience SHOULD
he gotten through fear and not through
ioya hut he repeated time and again, I'VE
must be careful to link power with love,
otherwise we will get an fnsipid, char-
acterleSs love. .
II want to exalt the quality of obedi-
ence in the home ana In tne scmooi az
we'll" he said. emphatically. l want 10
exalt the proper relation or power ana
love. If we can get this idea as parents
and as teachers we will have no trouble
in discipline.
Compares Present and Past.
The Superintendent compared the teach
or of the present day with the teacher
~ the past. "A feeling Of companionship
and love exists between the child and
teacher today. I do not mean q senti-
mantal love The teacher becomes so in
terested in the child that she has burn
ing desire to develop the best character
istics in him. to develop his soul. She
does not care so much about arithmetic
ar history as she does about making the
child a happy human being.
The sneaker remarked the absence Of
political pull or other things which
make for political interference" in

harmony existing between home and

GUESS ON OUTCOME
OF EXCISE INQUIRY
Mr.. Horstmann, 1t Is Believed,
Will Carry His Charges
to Congress.

Considerable speculation is in the air
at the District building over the outcome
of one or two side issues of the excise
board investigation. which will come to
close next week. So much feeling has
been injected into the testimony. which
Is now bound in nearly a dozen volumes
of typewriting. and which will be made
part of the Commissioners report to
Congress. that those who have watched
the progress of the case would not be
at all surprised to see further action even
after the hearings are closed officially by
the Commissioners
1t is now believed that F. Oden Horst
mann will pursue the matter of his
Charges" to Congress and will endeavor
to have the matter reopened in the in
vestigation into District affairs which
has been made possible by legislation at
the last session This belief was strength
ened greatly by the letter which former
Representative William S. Bennett OF New
York wrote TO the Commissioners in re-
ply TO their telegram asking him to ap-
pear before the Commissioners or to let
them know in writing what We're his
sources of information preceding his at
tack Samuel T. Kalbfus on the foor
of the House February 2.
Letter of Mr.. Bennett.
In that letter Mr. Bennett refused to di-
vulge any information, saying that he
had turned over all the papers Ito a
representative with full authority to act
on them as lie should see tit.
1t is also believed that the effect of the
decision OF the Commissioners to allow
the hearing the great latitude which
has been a marked characteristic. will be
recommendations which will concern the
wisest way TO license saloons.
The Commissioners will take some cog
nizance OF the line of testimony offered
by A. r.. Shoemaker to the effect that
there are many places in the city where
liquor Is sold under federal revenue IL
cense. but which have no excise license
This was stated in the office OF one OF
the Commissioners yesterday. Just what
the action will be is problematical. I;
will not be connected with the excise
board, and probably will be police mat
ter.
