their spirit world is peopled with

Indianapolis. March 4-The last

Senator Woods amendment would

merely to reopen the contention which
was waged through the railroad com

MAKE INSPECTION
OF PROPOSED LINE
Traction Line Project from
Richmond South Is Re-
garded Feasible.

Following the trip Thursday along
the proposed route for a new traction
line south from Richmond TO Cincin-
natl the committee composed of MEM
bers of the Commercial clubs of Rich
mond, Liberty and Broohville which
has the project in charge are confident
that the territory contains great traf-
fic possibilities which would make d
traction line great success. Three
reasons are advanced why a line
should be built; minimum cost. the
great amount Of traffic, both freight
and passenger. which would be secur-
ed, and the scenic advantages.
The cost, the committee found,
would probably be comparatively
from Cincinnati to Harrison. about
twenty miles from the former city on
the state line. could be secured from
the Hooven syndicate. The trip was
made only as far as Harrison, by way
of Brookyille. The citizens OF that
town were greatly interested and d
mass meeting was held last evening
a. w AN IA thLt' tltAAfHS NtlN itaiti'L ~
assist the present committee i'll fur
thering the matter.
1t is planned to build the line from
BIookviilc to Harrison alongside the
Big Four tracks. As the Big Four
finds twenty-siX fishing camps along
its road of sufficient importance to
stop its trains. the committee feels
that with these and the small towns
there would be plenty of traffic.
Conversation with the merchants in
the towns along the route showed that
they feel kindly towards the Rich
mond wholesalers and are buying as
much Richmond goods as they can at
present under the roundabout system
of transportation. From this the com
mittee believes the jobbing business OF
the towns could be practically CONTROL
ed by Richmond if the traction line
were built.
A committee of engineers consisting
of Fred Charles, Atwood Jenkins
Paul Comstock and w. b. Payne, OF
Liberty, will soon investigate whether
ii route from this city to Liberty by
way of Elkhorn would not be more
feasible than by way of Abingdon as
at first proposed.
As soon as this committee reports a
meeting of the general committee will
be held for the purpose OF deciding
whether a company should be organ
lied for the purpose of building the
line Or an effort made to interest other
companies in the project. The latter
course is regarded as most probable.

1.-THE OTHER WOMAN"
Proved a Play Neither Good
Nor Bad.

The mediocre reception accorded
throughout the play at the Gennett
theater last evening bore mute evil
which she was appearing was either
meritorious in itself nor afforded the
star an opportunity for a display of
her acting qualities for which she has
become. famous. Such was in truth,
the case of THE Other Woman" in
which Miss Walsh appeared.
There seemed to be a general mis-
fit and at no time did the play or act
ors rise to height which demanded
very great enthusiasm from the au-
dience. Probably the incongruity of
a man forsaking as picturesque wife
as portrayed by Miss Anna Cleveland
for a woman far more advanced in
years and lacking to great extent
the popular attractiyeneSs, meaning
Miss Walsh, The Other Woman" was
the main fault. Miss Walsh is a clev-
err actress; that is not questioned.
But the part she is now taking is not
for her.
Then again the story of the play, a
man losing love for his wife, as he eX-
presses il. for a reason he does not
know. and bestowing it upon another
woman who, according to the words
of the playwright, if she was little
worse, or a little better could make
either d decision to run away with
him or send him home to his wife. to-
gether with discussions of conscience
and right in occurrences such as the
situation would entail, was not a
very feasible tale or one catching to
the general ear.
There were, however, tinges in the
acting at places and parts of the
story which seemed to reach home
and create a feeling on the part of
the auditor. AS whole the play
could not be said to have fallen en-
tirely fiat, but lack of real merit in
the story making impossible acting
such as Miss Walsh is capable of, re.
! duced it from the first rank 1t would
seem also that the major part of the
play falls upon the shoulders of the
rest of the company and leaves
Blanche Walsh with a comparatively
small part.
! The cast, not measuring up to Miss
Walsh, was average. George w. How
melodramatic.
