STORK A STRANGER
On FIFTH AVENUE
Elinor Glyn Says There
There Hasn't Been Birth
There in Two Years.

LONDON. March S-Elinor GIyn, in
terVleWed on the arrival of the LusI-
tanla, expressed enthusiastic admiration
OF American men, but had many criti-
clsms TO offer of American women
The lives of Americas rich women, -
she said, are terribly empty. With us
great wealth brings great responsibility
and many social duties. The rich
American woman has nothing to do ex-
cept TO amuse herself. She has charm,
Is splendidly generous, but she has no
nerves. She is restless and unsa atisfied.
She generally cares little for the cares
of motherhood. as she avoids all wor-
ries OF housekeeping.
a New York doctor recently told me
that there has not been a birth in Fifth
avenue for two years.
1t is a little difficult to find romance
in the life of the wealthy of New York
! think this is due, to some extent, TO
the system Of common education of the
sexes and unrestricted friendly inter
course between young men and young
girls. There is no mystery left. The
girls and the boys are all good fellows
together.
Then, the steam-heated houses and
offices have much to answer for. How
can a man be romantic who works
strenuously all day in an atmosphere Of
- degrees?'
Mrs GIyn agrees that America is
every year becoming less dependent on
England for its fiction.

MRS. KNOX SILENT
ON DISAPPEARANCE
Declines to Discuss Her
Three Weeks Absence
From Home.

Mrs. Cornelia II. Knox, who, with
her two young children, has returned
to the apartment of her mother, Mrs.
Josephine Fl. Janney, 1875 F street

OF nearly three weeks, said this morn
ing that she would prefer not to discuss
the case.
Il am back now and everything all
right."' said Mrs. Knox. and" she
added. emphatically, that's all there is
to it,"
Philip NJ. Knox. the husband, who is
employed at the sewerage pumping
station. also declined to discuss the
matter.
My wife is back home,' he said,
and further than that have nothing
to say
Mr.. and Mrs. Knox formerly lived at
2620 Brentwood road northeast. few
days before she disappeared she and her
husband came to visit Mrs. Janney.
While Mrs. Janney and Mr.. Knox were
absent from the apartment, the young
woman packed her belongings in a
trunk and disappeared with her two
children. Domestic troubles were re-
sponsible for Mrs. knox's action, ac-
cording to a statement made by Mrs.
Janney.
1t is understood that Mrs. Knox has
been with friends in the northwest sec
ton Of the city.

MISS DUNCAN SEEN
IN A NEW PROGRAM
Wagner and Bach Make Up
the List for Appear
ance Here.

While pedestrians were scurrying
homeward in the face of an embryo
snowstorm yesterday afternoon Miss
Isadora Duncan disported on the Ma
tional Theater's steam-heated stage in
a new series of classic dances.
This time Miss Duncan essayed Wag-
ner and Bach compositions, and appar-
emily she was so impressed at the task
that she decided a casting off of the last
vestige of superlative garb as unneces-
sary. Her costume for the Bacchanale
from ''Tannheuser'' probably marks the
last word in ''interpretative" dressing,
whatever future achievements may be
hoped for in dancing the piece.
Miss Duncan's dancing was the least
novel thing about the program. Her
essays at Wagnerian Interpretation
probably will convince her by the end
of the season that the thunderous or
chestrations of the German master were
not meant for such light and dainty
accompaniment as tripping toe or sway
ing figure. The Bach Gavotte and Gigue
were more adaptable to Miss Duncan s
art, though they were not calculated
to arouse any marked enthusiasm.
The applause was most marked after
Miss Duncan had given, as an encore,
THE Blue Danube" Each undulation
of the dancers limbs and each move
ment of her lissome figure seemed to
fit the delicate nuances of the music
The March Militaire of Schubert also
was a delightful contribution. These
numbers so nearly justified the revival
of classic dancing that even Miss Dun
cans most ardent admirers can hardly
help being piqued at the vaulting ambi-
tion that landed her amid the embar-
RAISING maze of Wagnerian themes.
This feeling was enhanced because Of
the absence of toning dTapeTieS for Miss
DunCanS not too graceful figure.
In those lighter movements to which
dancing seems a logical accOmpani-
ment, Miss Duncan again established
her supremacy. Her dancing neither
partakes of the sensuouS posturings Of
one school nor of the sporadic gesticula-
tionS and movements of certain other
late COmers in her field. 1t is cOntinu-
Gus and graceful motion, pleasing to the
eye, even If one cannot always grasp
the full Interpretation" Miss Duncan
naivcly assures us is there.

MILLIONAIRE vAAPS'
MAY Be D|SBANDED
"Silk Stocking" Volunteer
Firemen Accused of Neg
lecting Their Duty.

NEW YORK, March S.-With a record
of having fought only one fire in eighteen
months and doing without headquar-
tefs in which to assemble or any appa-
ra.us to man, engine company No. ., Of
Hackensack, known as the Silk Stock
ings," or the millionaire Volunteers"
Is waiting somewhat lugubriously the
verdict of a trial held for the purpose
OF ousting the company from the fire
department on charges of neglect.
Its members reside in the fashionable
Heights section of Hackensack. Brok-
ers, bankers, artists, and merchants
make up the personnel, and in their en-
thusiasm to become fire fighters they
neglected to take into consideration the
fact that their business took them out
of hailing distance OF the call Of duty
during the day and that firemen must
leave warm blankets when the sum-
mons comes at night.
The sole members in town continu-
ously were James G. de Hurck, treas
urer, and Frederick Koester, foreman.
President Charles c. Conklin, testified
at Monday nights session of the trial
concerning the reasons for the COM
pany's unfavorable showing.

Bath Tub Cleanliness

Whether the bath tub be made of por-
celain, enamel, iron or zinc, it seould
be kept bright and smooth. A solution
of Gold Dust washing powder and warm
water will quickly remove any vestige
of dirt. and II any rough places or dark
spots appear, these can be easily re-
moved by sprinkling a little of the Gold
Dust powder on a cloth and rubbing
briskly The water basin and water
closets may be kept perfectly white If
thoroughly washed with Gold Dust once
a week. The use of Gold Dust wash
ing powder is a protection against dis
ease and odors. 1t cleans the drain
pipes thoroughly.

CONSERYAT|ONISTS
WELCOME FISHER
Claim Him as Supporting
Roosevelt and Pinchot
Policies.

Friends of conservation in Washing
ton claim Walter l.. Fisher, the new
Secretary of the Interior, as disciple
of the conservation policies of Theodore
Roosevelt and Clifford Pinchot They
say that his appointment is recogni-
ton by this Administration of the merit
of these policies.
This view is taken from the fact that
Mr.. Fisher was himself president of the
National Conservation Association, now
headed by PinChot. He is still one of
the vice presidents of that organiza ton.
and has subscribed to the objects of the
association from its very beginning.
Aggressive for Reform.
But the nov official has been prOmi-
nent otherwise. He is regarded as one
of the strongest practitioners at the
Chicago bar. He has figured in some Of
the most important litigation in that
city during the past ten years, and won
fame as the special attorney for the
city I'm the big traction fight in Chicago
q few years ago.
Mr.. Fisher has shown strong sympa-
thy for reform movements generally
and has been conspicuous for his ag-
gressiveness in every fight of this char
actcr He has been wholly fearless in
his campaigns I'm his home city and IN
the Middle West.
The new Secretary is a man of strlk-
ing appearance. He is tall, with a
strong physique and very positive per-
sOnality. He is an outdoor man, an
enthusiastic supporter of baseball and
football. He prefers golf. however. for
his own personal amusement and re-
Taxation.
Is a Convincing Speaker.
Mr.. Fisher has gained wide recognition
as a debater and an advocate. When
he speaks, he speaks with perfect conf
denCe He has a gift of presenting the
most complex problems in a clear and
convincing manner. In sketch of Mr..
Fisher prepared by Edward F. Roberts
this statement is made:
"Assurance in himself radiates from
the man. II he were called to be Presi-
Gent Of the United States, or Car of
Russia, he would accept promptly, and
with an infinite certainty that he was
fully qualified for the post. Further
more, he would be his own prime min
lister, for he is a masterful man. who
prefers subordinates to colleagues.
The President expects Mr.. Fisher to
be an ornament TO his cabinet and one
of its mo- useful members.

Lancaster addressed the meeting he did
not come within speaking distance OF
my speech. BY reading from the Con-
gressional Record he endeavored to gain
a personal vindication."
1t was during Judge Bundy's second
speech that Mr.. Lancaster was accused
of being a liar. The statement was
made without any attempt to soften the
cutting word. Shaking his fist In the
direction of Mr. Lancaster, he said:
Il want TO call you a liar

REV. DR.. BOVARD TO
SEEK NEW PULPIT.

my People and the Peace of God"
was the subject of the Rev. Melville
Young Bovard last evening at the
Franklin Street M. E. Church. 1t was
a timely sermon delivered on the last

a Western church.
The Franklin Street Church is one
