criticism of the possibility of Notifications
at the Atlantic end to serve this purpose.
The general board regards these crii-
cisms as unfounded, and believes, on the
contrary, that the conditions at the At
lantic terminus of the canal are unusu-
ally favorable for the emplacement of
guns that would be of assistance to a
fleet issuing in the face of hostile ships.
% Finally, the general board considers
that the prime object of Notifications at
the Canal Zone is to prevent its occupa-
ton by an enemy, and by their existence
to enable the fleet to pursue its legitimate
functions free from solicitude for the
safety of the canal, wherever the inter-
ests of the country most demand its
presence"

HOUSE SlDBTRACKS
DISTRICT AFFAIRS
Teachers Retirement Bill Is
Again Set Aside.

Chairman Samuel w. Smith. Of the
House District Committee, and a score
of District bills were "steam-rollered"
again in the House yesterday-the regu-
lar District day. The post-ofice appro-
priation bill was taken up. and District
legislation was side tracked despite pro-
tests.
On yea and nay vote a House major
ity supported Speaker Cannon in his
rulings that set aside District matters,
in order to take up Representative
Weeks post-office bills. Representative
Smith. backed by Representative Mad
den, had appealed to the House, when
the Weeks bill was taken up on the
ground fht the day rightfully belonged
to the District. The Vote sustained the
Speaker by 19l to los.
There is little chance now of the teach
ers' retirement bill. which was to have
been considered yesterday, and other
District matters to come up this session,
as but two District days remain. There
is a possibility that the District may be
deprived Of one or both OF these days
in the interests Of other legislation.

Report Of Naval Board
The report of the general board in
part is as follows:
Il. The general hoard believes that the
proposed Notifications at the termini of
the 1sthmian Canal would be invalua BILE
in assisting the transfer Of a United
States fleet from one ocean to the other
through the canal, in the face Of an op-
posing fleet. The function of the forti-
fications in this particular is precisely
the same at the canal termini asa il is
at any fortified place from which a fleet
may have to issue in the face Of an
enemy's fleet 49,.

Determination to protest against the

principle work of the executive commit

This protest will be entered in person

ciples of the municipal government that
is so clearly established.

From the splendid reports that have
been received of her work in Miss

lieve that she has a part equal to any
IN which she has ever appeared, and
the general opinion seems to be that it
is her best.
Its charming title role has proved to be
exactly what Miss Glaser has been seek
ing ever since her well-remembered tri-
umph in Dolly Warden" In Miss Dudel-
sack her managers have supplied her
with a gorgeously tuneful work. The
heroine is a saucy little Scotch lassie, who
dances in kits and whose witty tongue
and Southful beauty are the envy of all
the women of the MacHumber clan of
Highlanders
Her doting old foster-father, keeper Of
the MacHumber estate, Is a soft-hearted
old German, who gave her the pet name
OF Little Dudelsack." which is German
for the Scotch hagpipe. Her ancestry is
clouded in mystery, but that does not
spoil her joyous nature nor mar the mu-
sic of her flutelike voice as she scampers
gayly through the corridors of the an
cestral castle of the MacHumbers.
The cast of principals comprises Anna
