Not since its opening night has there
been such an enthusiastic audience as
crowded tho Imperial .Theater last. night
to greet an old Washington favorite,
Stanley James, formerly with the Column
bian Players, who heads a bill Of excep-
tional merit
Mr.. James seems to have made an ex-
cellent selection in the delightful military
playlet, Love and War;" for his vaude-
Vile debut, and so glad was the WASH
ington public to see him again that the
audience insisted upon applauding him
until he was forced to make q curtain
speech. And Mr.. James seemed quite as
glad as the audience.
Love and War" tells Of the capture of
q Confederate spy by a young woman
connected with the United States secret
service. But they fall in love with each
other, and the climax ends in a thrill
ing escape, where love is shown to b
greater than duty, even in war. Miss
Octav1a Ellis. the "captor," Mr. James
chief support. Is excellent.
But STANLEY James & CO.. is not the
only good number of the bill. ToOts Ola
and her Hawaiian troubadours, presenting
Hawaiian dances and melodies, were q
close second. with a very attractive offer
ing. Mildred Namm, a pretty singing
comedienne, offers something new and
startling. which includes change of cos
tune behind lighted screen and catchy
songs and dances.
Others in the cast include Tzuda, Jap
anese eQuihbrist, and Bobby Ferns. char
acter change artist. Motion pictures con-
cluded the program. which is one of the
best the Imperial has yet offered.

as the chief funmaker needs no intro
duction here. Playing the role of Jani-

ma, he is clever and keeps the audience
in a continuous uproar. Jane La Beau

mime role, and Winifred Greene, the
soubrette, is kept busy throughout the
performance. Gus Roeber scored a big
hit by rendering Don't Wake Me Up. l
Am Dreaming There is a lot of har-
mony in the Alpine Quartet. The clos
ing number shows the exterior and in
terror of the Sheepshead Bay race track

in action on q treadmill. Winifred
Greene, who volunteers to take the
mount on Ginger Girl when it becomes
known that the stable boy is going to
throw the race for a small fortune, wins
"going away" at the finish. Excitement
at this stage Is intense, and after the

Restriction
on Sale Of Indian
Lands is Upheld
Supreme Court Holds that Congress
Has Full Power TO Define Terms
of Guardianship.

WASHINGTON. May is 5--Three centuries
Of civilization have not brought the full
blood Indian to the point where his rights
are equal to those of the white man. Such
was the decision today OF the supreme
court OF the United States in holding con-
stitutional the twenty-five year restrictions
on the sale OF Indian lands
The twenty-five year restriction was i'm
posed by congress in 1906. Previous to that
time individual members of the five civ
ilized tribes in Oklahoma were prevented
from making sales of their lands within
five years Of the time of allotment. The
contention soon arose that the fullbloods
had such rights as citizens as made the
extension constitutional. In the case of
Marchi Tiger. a fullblood Creek, the su-
preme court of Oklahoma held that the re-
strictions merely referred to lands allotted
directly to the fullbloods and not TO the
lands inherited by them. The supreme
court of the United States holds that they
applied TO inherited lands as we'll.
The court held also that only congress
could determine when the Indian became
free from the white mans guardianship
and that congress had not yet SO found.

Safety Appliances
Must Be Kept in
Good Repair
Supreme Court Holds that Duty of
Railroads in This Matter is Abso.
lutte and Not Relative.

WASHINGTON May I5.-RaIlroads com
ing within the terms Of the safety apph-
ance acts of congress in 1895 and 1903 are
under an absolute duty TO keep in repair
automatic couplers and other appliances
prescribed by law and not merely to ex-
'ercise reasonable diligence in repairing.
Such was the decision today of the su-
preme court Of the United States.
This was the second attempt Of congress
TO change the old common law rule that
an employe Of a common carrier could
not sue for damages from the carrier
for injuries received in the course
Of his employment when the injuries re-
suited from the negligence Of fellow
servant. The first law. that enacted
in 1906, was declared unconstitutional in
1908, because It embraced within its terms
a regulation of interstate commerce as
well as interstate. The law considered
today was enacted by congress in 1908, i'm
medately after the first law was held
unconstitutional.
The constitutionality and Interpretation
of the new law came before the court in a
number of cases. heard as one case about
the last of February
The principal case was that of Bessie
Babcock, widow of Ora L. Bsbcock,
against the Northern Pacific Railway
company. Her husband lost his life In a
railroad collision on the Northern Pacific
in Montana In 1908 Mrs. Babcock sued
under the federal employers liability act,
which had just been passed. and under
it's terms she was entitled TO the entire
amount of judgment. Babcock left a sis
ter also and II the Judgment had been
procured under the statute of Montana,
she would have been entitled to half
of 1t. The Northern Pacific resisted the
claim. on the ground that II the federal
law was unconstitutional. it might be re-
quired to pay the sister even II II nad
settled with the widow. The law was up
held by the federal court of Minnesota.
Another case arose out of the death Of
Daniel ]. Walsh brakeman on the New
York, New Haven g. Hartford Railroad
company. The United States circuit court
for Massachusetts, held the law eonstitu-
ticnal.
Still another case was that Of Edgar c.
Mondou. an employe on the New York
New Haven & Hartford Railroad COM
pany, against that road. He brought suit
in the state courts of Connecticut, which
declined to consider the case That gave
rise 10 questions as to whether or not
congress had attempted to or could, II
it had attempted. require state courts as
well as federal courts to take jurisdiction
over such cases.

Gar Orders Inquiry
Into Mysterious
!, Murder Of Boy at Kiev
Sunday Passes Without Threatened
Massacre of Jews, but Many Are
S% Leaving City.

ST PETERSBURG. May 15.-The central
government today dispatched NJ zaitzff
and NJ. Fenenko. high officials of the min
istry OF justice, to Kiev to investigate the
mysterious murder of the Christian boy,
Yuschinsky, whose death has caused
threats to be made of a massacre of Jews
in that city.
KIEv, Russia, May 15-The ability Of
the authorities to preserve public order
yesterday. the date reported to have been
set for a. Jewish massacre. has had a re-
assuring effect on the Jewish population.
Nevertheless the exodus OF the more
wealthy Jews continue and they will not
subside completely until the. circumstances
Of the alleged ritualistic murder has been
explained and the responsibility for the
crime fixed.
On February q, last, the body of a
Christian boy named Yuschinsky was found,
horribly mutilated. in a cave close by the
Jewish quarter in this city. The lad was
10 years of age and a student at the local
orthodox seminary. Certain circumstances
Of the killing resulted in the charge by
enemies that Jews had made the youth a
victim OF a ritualistic murder. an alleged
religious ceremony which has been the
subject OF controversy of allegations and
denials for centuries.
| An examination OF the body showed that
| 1t had been cut in forty-five places with
knife and an awl. A post-mortem made
by Prof. Obolinsky determined that the
victim had been tortured and all the
wounds inflicted before life was extinct
His hands tied and a gag in his mouth
! the boy had been held upright as the
blood flowed downward. Seven deep stabs
in the region Of the heart finally put an
end to his agony. When death ensued
the stripped body was reclothed.
| The fact that there were no blood spots
found on the clothing led to the claim
that all the blood had left the body before
the cutting was ended. When discovered
there were no signs of decomposition Dr
Tufanoff ascertained that the body hao
been removed to the cave five or six
hours after death. but before the muscular
Irlgtdity set in. II is supposed that Yush
chinsky had bean tortured and murdered
/ somewhere in the neighborhood Of the
Jewish quarter and the body deposited Ir
the cave at daybreak. the rules OF thu
accused Jewish sect. Hassides, are alleged
to forbid the burial Of ritualistic victims
The details Of the murder are alleged
