Washington, April 13.-Although the
caucus failed to settle the patronage
middle, the leaders among the house
democrats are beaming with optimism
today, now that the rank and file has
agreed to the plan to pass the Ca
madam reciprocity agreement without
delay and then take up blanket tariff
bill that will put many OF the neces-
stiles of life on the free list. A
caucus on the wool and cotton sched-
ules will be held later.
The democratic caucus. at which a
legislative program was partially COM
pleted, did not end until after O'Clock
this morning. This was due to the
fact that just as everybody was

No Decision ON Patronage.

The real root of the trouble is that
each member. following the retrench-
ment plans put into effect when the
session begun. which abolished $780,
900 worth of jobs. now has only about
5000 worth Of jobs at his disposal, and
office-hungry constituents decline to
sympathize with his members predica-
ment

patronage, the caucus was not an en-
tirely harmonious affair. The vote to
take up reciprocity at any time in the
discretion Of the ways and means com.

GREEK THEATER
IS NOT GREEK

SAN FRANCISCO, December 3
Another local architectural fallacy has
exploded. Professor Charles Knapp of
Columbia University, who came all the
way from New York to California to
lecture before the San Francisco Ar
theological Society on the subject Of
The Roman Theater," summoned the
temerity to declare before his distin-
guished audience of Californian saw
ants assembled in the Red Room of
the St Francis, that the Greek The
alter at Berkeley isn't a Greek theater
at all Professor Knapp even denied
the structure the right to claim to
be Roman.
He claims that the well-known scene
of open air Sunday concerts and paja-
marion rallies is a sort of hybrid of
Greek and Roman styles of building,
the like of which has never before
been erected in the history of the
world
He stated that he didn't hold this
against the structure although he
thought it would have been much more
interesting had the architect held him
self strictly to one correct national
form; and after referring to it
throughout his lecture as your alleg-
ed" or your so-called" Greek Theater,
he tried to square himself by calling
it beautiful, and by admitting that it
was more practical for modern uses
than it would have been if archeolo-
gically correct.
The ground upon which he denies
the Berkeley structure the right to
the term Greek" is that its stage is
too deep, too wide and too high. The
Greek theater, he claims, never had
any raised stage at all, the actors
performing in small space on the
level of the orchestra. He stated that
the only authorities who claim a stage
for the Greek theater fix its height
at ten to fourteen feet, and its depth
at eight feet. He also found fault
with the arrangement of seats.
"On visiting one of your best the
aters here" said Professor Knapp, 81
observed, as | usually do on entering
modern theaters, that the rules laid
down by the Architect Petruvius two
thousand years ago as to the matter
of exits are never followed, although
modern architects would do we'll to
study these rules.
"He taught, first, that there should
be as many exits as possible; that the
exits leading from the upper passages
should be completely divorced from
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-12-28

those leading from the lower parts Of
the building, and that passages lead
ing to exits were preferably to be in
straight lines so that there would be
no impeachment to the progress of the
people hurrying out.
The ancient Roman theaters are
the only ones that approach these
rules, and modern architects would
do well to study the manner of ar
ranging exits"
He showed how the Romans accom-
plished this by providing crypts or
covered passages, leading under the
seats direct from the parapets divid-
ing the galleries to the outer circular
wall of the theater, providing about
six of these exits in the form of radii
upon the lower plane of every upper
and lower division of the house.

NEW CONTESTANTS
MAKE GOOD SHOWING

The Stars big $4,000 prize contest is
going to end soon. 1t was stated IN
this column a few days ago that Jan
uary q had been decided upon but
this announcement was perhaps a lit
tie premature. 1t is just possible that
the management may decide to make
the time much shorter than this, so
there is every reason for contestants
to waste no time in getting the sub
scriptions which they may have in
mind. In any event, the end of the
contest will not be later than January
q, and this is only few weeks away.
There is not a prize which will be
given by the Star to its workers
which will not be we'll worth the eff
fort which it may have cost to earn it.
And there is not a prize which will
be an embarrassment to anyone win

A PERSONATOR
OF BUD MARS

SACRAMENTO, December III.
c. McAuliffe, aviator, who has been
posing as Bud" Mars, and who was
to have given an aerial exhibition with
Thaddeus Kerns at Buffalo Park yes
terday afternoon and today, is not the
Bud" Mars who has achieved inter
national fame as an aviator.
Following an accusation to this eff
feet made by the real Bud" Mars,
who is now in San Francisco, McAu-
life declared yesterday that there
were two Mars. He asserts that he
travelled with Bud" Mars under the
name of Mars with a balloon, doing
a double parachute jump in 1905.
The real Mars also claims that sew
eral years ago he employed a man
named McAuliffe and states that the
one in Sacramento may be the same.
He says also that thirteen years ago
he Travelled with a man by the name
of Beaureguard under the name of
Mars brothers"
The meet yesterday was a failure.
Thaddeus Kerns, who was billed to
fly, refused to go up in the stiff wind
which was blowing, although, after
waiting two hours for it to die down,
he ran the aeroplane across the field
in an effort to climb into the air.
Kerns is disappointed in the affair,
and says that he had no idea that Nc
Auliffe, who was engineering the meet
was not the real Mars.
