Abolish All Stage Scenery for Ten Years,
Says Critic.

Walter Prichard Eaton, the dramatic
critic, believes modern dramas are too
deliberately staged. In "The Question of
Scenery" in the American Magazine for
July he says;
after all. it was not the Elizabethans
who were stupid because they could en-
JOY the drama on bare stage; il is
we who are stupid because we cannot
enjoy the drama unless the stage is lit
tered with realistic" scenery. We have
no faith in our own imaginative powers.
1t would be a good thing for the drama
if all scenery were abolished for the
next ten years Having learned to get
along without it, we would perhaps keep
it in its proper place for a while after
it returned. Its proper place is as a
pictorial and suggestive background to
The actors and the play, and nothing but
a background"

WITNESS TELLS HISTORY
OF SUGAR WAR
Clash Between Trust and Arbuckles Re-
lated on the Stand in Investi-
CATION.

Washington, june 20 William g.
Gilmore, managing partner OF Arbuckle
Bros. of Brooklyn, in the House sugar
trust investigation yesterday described
the war made on the American Sugar
Refining company by his firm in 1905
%. The Arbuekles began manufactur.
ing refined sugar in 1898 and since then
have been independent of the trust.
"We cut the price % points under
the trust price soon after we started
in West Virginia and Ohio" said Mr..
Gilmore, because the trust sought to
induce the wholesale grocers in those
states to buy sugar exclusively from
the American. This was in 1903
I'VE kept the price down -four
five months and got the business in
these states Eventually the price re-
turned to normal but the American
never did get back all its business in
those states
The American FIRST cut the price un.
der Arbuckle's, the witness said, from
10 to 10 points, and when this was met
the trust began campaign to procure
exclusive contracts. Drastic price cut
ting ceased about the close OF 1899
During that period, Mr. Gilmore said,
his firm lost in the sugar business about
81 10000, The witness also related
how, after the Arbuekles went into the
sugar business, the American engaged
in the coffee business, establishing cot
fee plant at Toledo, 0. This retalia-
tion was under the direction of II. 0.

TILDEN'S POOR

Let Him Out On 100000
Check Payment
IN THE L0RlMER CASE
"Might or Might Not" Be Able to Tell,
for Instance in 1908, Whether He
Had Loaned or Paid
100000.
IN THE LoRIMER CASE

Washington, June 90 His methods
of bookkeeping and his loyalty to the
Democratic party alike were under fire
| yesterday when Edward Tilden, bank di-
rector, packing house manager and corr
poration man generally, appeared before
the Senate Lorimer committee to testi-
fy that he was in no way interested in
the raising Of fund to elect Mr.. Lori
mer to the Senate.
Attorneys for the committee, attor.
neys for Senator Lorimer and members
of the committee itself asked Mr.. Til
den almost every conceivable style on
question il he has anything or knew
of anyone who had anything to do with
the raising OF fund to elect Lorimer,
either before or after the election. To
each the witness with emphasis declared
that he did not.
The witness testified he did not keep
accurate books of his personal business,
merely loose leaf memoranda of his re-
ceipts and disbursements and only mem
oranda OF checks written instead Of
check stubs. Senator Kern had the wit
ness describe in minute detail his per-
sonal bookkeeping.
The witness said that he was not
proud of his system, but that il an
swered the purpose, namely that Of
keeping track OF money until banked.
The drawing Of check for 100000 for
personal expenditure might not be en-
tered in his personal accounts, he said,
and he might or might not be able
to tell, for instance in 1908, whether
he had loaned or paid anyone $780,
coo.
His bank books, he declared, showed
nothing whatever connected with the
election of Mr.. Lorimer. and the COM
mitee told him "for the present and pos
sibly for all time it was through with I

It is a pretty thoroughly conceded
fact that the wide variance in prices

turer understanding il thoroughly and
basing his estimates upon IT, This is
far ahead Of anything else in impor-

dealer, and every effort should be con.
centrated along this line, There should
be cooperation from every source for
the welfare Of every person concerned
in any way with TIE monument indus

that everyone will act with wisdom and

The Village Frog.

Under the lily pads and things
The big old bullfrog squats;
His greenish hide is thick, b'jings.
With warts aud humps and knots.
And when he swells himself and sings
His voice is rough in spots.
His thighs are thick and big and strong;
Yet he enjoys his ease;
And when the echoes of his song
Are borne upon the breeze
His normal slope, unless I'm wrong,
Is forty-fve degrees.
Week in week out, from morn till night,
You can hear his bellows blow;
You can hear him sound his gong all
right,
With measured beat and slow,
Like brlIiser spelling for a fight
When there isn't any foe.
On Sundays come the village boys,
With fishing poles, red rags
And sticks and stones; and then his
voice
Mysteriously lags,
He hides himself-he has no choice
Down deep amid the flags.
hiding believing,
Onward through life he goes;
He eats little. tries to sing.
And MARBLES through his nose.
He doesn't have TO do thing
To earn a nights repose.

Thus. in the great frogpond of life,
Our fortunes must be wrought;
