"Spotlight' Dancing
Is Glen Echo Novelty

Spotlight dancing is the latest In.
novation in outdoor summer amusc-
ments, and. judging by its enthusiastic
reception at Glen Echo. this fad prom
ises to achieve wide popularity in
Washington.
Its local introduction last night proved
an amusing surprise Without warning,
the $50 incandescent lights used to IL
illuminate the attractive dancing pavilion
at Glen Echo suddenly were extinguish-
ed. Just as the dancers, believing some
mishap had occurred to The electrical
apparatus. were about to stop the floor
was flooded with a rainbow-hued light,
which transformed the place into a
miniature fairyland. The musicians did
not cease their selection, and the re-
mainder of the waltz was danced in a
display of ever-changing cOlored light
that was repeatedly encored by both
dancers and onlookers. Spotlight
dancing doubtless will be popular.

DRASTIC CAMPAIGN
PUBLICITY MEASURE
PASSED BY SENATE
Will Become Law Unless
House Democrats Stand
in Way.

Unless the House Democrats stand In
the way of 1t, there soon will be put
on the statute books the most drastic
campaign publicity bill and corrupt
practices act ever proposed in Con-
gress
To the general surprise, the Senate,
after an all-day debate. showed through
the campaign publicity bill List even
Ing. 1t had not been expected this
would be done so soon.
AS the measure came from committee
1t was drastic, but the Senate made II
even much more drastic by amend
ments.
The bill as IT was passed provides
for publicity before and after elections,
general and primary. 1t puts Limitations
on campaign expenditures. 1t was pass
ed without a division. except on amend
mehts. which were agreed To by so TOT.
Negative Votes.
The only negative votes we're by
Southern Democrats. They were Bailey,
Bacon. Bankhead, Bryan, Johnston,
Overman, and Taylor. Democrats, who
are generally aligned with the reac-
tonaries.
The progressive Democrats lined I'D
for the bill ana in fact helped make it
drastic.
The bill provides that no candidate for
the Senate or House shall spend a total
Of over 10 cents for each voter in his
state or district. At the sMnc time, a
limitation in the aggregate OF $4,000 is
placed Oil the expenses OF a Senatorial

1t is expected the bill will be the sub
iect Of prolonged conference between
the two houses. but Il is not easy TO
see how the House Democrats dare
turn the measure down. They have once
refused to adopt provisions that would
extend the measure to primaries

LITTLE MISS BROWN
FINE AS LITTLE
LORD FAUNTLEROY"
Finds Youthful Fame With
Columbia Players in
Weeks Offering.

With six curtain calls to her credit al
the close of the second act. little Miss
Helen Hayes Brown, Of the Columbia
Players, stepped into instant fame last
night in the lovable and perennially
youthful character Of Little Lord
Fauntleroy."
The long, difficult and exacting role
was essayed by this little actress with
all the fineness of technique that has
made this character notable in years
past Elsie Leslie and Tommy Russell
have been seen in this part in years
agone, but II remained for Helen Brown
to show the old and young of this de-
cade the beauty of the character. OF the
little lord, transplanted from the New
York tenement to the baronial halls OF
his ancestors.
The little actress possesses dignity,
and talent of no mean measure, and
her performance was a revelation, and
was given without a single hitch from
beginning to the fall of the final cur
tain. Some OF these days little Miss
Brown will be a finished and noted
actress, If present indications count for
anything.
The part of the old grocer, Hobbs,
was assigned to Stanley James, who
was exceptionally fine. As the mother
OF Little Lord Fauntleroy, Miss Alice
Nelson was charming and tender, and
played the part with Keeling. Her scene
IN the first act. where she gives up her
child for the sake of the fuller, larger
life he will live as the grandson Of the
old Earl OF Do1ncourt, is fine piece
OF emotional repression. Everett Butter
field in the character part OF Dick, the
bootblack, was we'll received. Miss Mel
vile as Mary. the domestic in the en-
ploy Of Mrs. Enroll, and Miss Carrie
Thatcher. as the adventures. were ex-
cellent.
In the part OF the irascible old Earl
of Dorincourt, George Barber was a
stormy but lovable old martinez, soften
ed by the memory OF his dead son,
father of the little lord. Then there
was John Kline, as Higgins, the poor
tenant; Arthur Ritchie. as the groom,
and Frederick Forester, as Haversham,
the solicitor, all of whom acted their
minor parts TO perfection. The play
is, we'll mounted, especially the scenes
showing the living room of Dorincourt
castle.

WESTERN SHIPPERS
WIN RATE BATTLE
LASTING FOR YEARS
Big Reductions on Lumber
Ordered by Interstate Com
merce Commission.

Reductions averaging $50 ton on
rough green fir lumber and lath ship
ments from points in the Willamette
valley, Oregon, to San Francisco and
bay points, were ordered Of the South
ern Pacific railroad today by the In
terstate Commerce Commission, in a de-
cision sustaining the fight Of the Ore
gon and Washington Lumber Manufac-
turers' Association.
The rate of s. a ton, except as ap-
piled to Vending Branch. was found
unreasonable. rate reduction to $3.75
was suggested as reasonable on ship
ments from stations on the west bank
Of the Willamette river. From other
points $3.50 was specified.
The reasonableness of the VILLAIN
ette Valley rates has been in lhiga-
tion since early in 1907. having been
fought through the Federal courts.
The Supreme Court Of the United States
last February denied the legality of
the commissions order of 1907 max
ing the rates $40 and S3.65. This
order expired last October. The rail-
road then published tariffs increasing
the rate to IS. Complaint Immediately
was entered, and the matter again
tied up in litigation.

sidewalk and plunged into a newly
dug cellar. The man who was accom-
panying him was thrown out, but es-
capped serious injury. The car turned
over and fell upon Mr.. Campbell,
breaking his collar bone and nearly all
of his ribs, and crushing his chest. His
life at first was despaired of, but he
has been improving and chances for
his recovery are much better.

WEALTHY pAkoTAN GOES DOWN
WITH BRIDGE AND PERisHEs
IN FALL RIVER.
HAPPENINGS OVER THE STATE
What 10 eolns On Here and There
That Is Of Interest to the Read
srs Throughout South pa-
kota and Vicinity.

Hot Springs.-A cloudburst near
Prindle, a small station on the Bur-
lington road, about II miles east OF
Hot Springs, swelled the tributaries
of Fall river into the proportion or
mountain torrents and the accumula-
lions of waters pouring into Fall river
raised that stream until it overlooked
its banks.
One fatality occurred. James Kerr,
an old soldier, who had lived at the
state soldiers home with his wife in
one of the cottages there, had been out
to one of his farms east OF the city
and was driving into town when the
storm was at its height. He had
reached the county bridge at the juno
ton Of the hot and cold branches of
Fall river and not noticing that the
high water had weakened it, drove
upon it with his horse and buggy. The
structure gave way just as Kerr and
his horse and buggy had reached the
center. People who witnessed the &C
oident attempted to rescue the unfor
tunate man, but the mad rush of water
soon hurried him to his death. His
! body was recovered just, above the
city. Kerr was man about SIS years
of age and considered one of the wei
/ to do men of the county.
+ The storm did considerable damage
/ to a number of the bridges on the line
( of the Burlington and to its right o
way. So badly was its track damaged
that the train from this city to thu
east was abandoned.
