Six hundred and fifty-eight small boys
swan, dived, and splashed this morning
in the waters Of the municipal bathing
pool. Six hundred and fifty Of them
were white Eight small colOred boys
padded lesurely around the separate
pool designed for their use.
On the banks Senstor Foindexter,
Representative Dyer of st. Louis, and
Commissioner Judson stood and softly
hummed BACKYARD. Turn Backward. y
But they didn't enter the water.

Poindexter. Il would not mind taking

These Boys Can't Swim.
Ono hundred and fifty of the boys
assembled could not swim a stroke,

That Esperanto Sign.
At least 100 mothers came to the pool
to watch their freckle-faced progeny.
Most of these adults tried to decipher
a sign which read:
"Attentu Thu chi Promenjo estas sole

Appealing to Superintendent Hudson,
they learned that this is Esperanto for

Trust Company Head

Eidridge E, Jordan resigned the presi-
dency Of the United States Trust Com
pany ut a meeting of the directors Of

the result of differences of policy and

any personal feeling against the ex-
ecutive.

as a director and will give his best
efforts toward it's upbuilding, express

count of a statement in the current

TARIFF WILL PUT
REPUBLICANS ON
RECORD IN SENATE
Forcing of Issue Likely to
Prove Embarrassing
to Many:

Senate Republicans are going to be
compelled to go on record on every
phase of the tariff acted upon by the
House. 1t is not unlikely they will be
compelled to vote on other schedules
than those the House revises, but it is
certain at least they cannot evade
voting on them.
The result o. this is likely to be en-
barrassing to some of the Republicans,
especially the insurgents. Senate insur-
gents fought hard for the lowering of
duties two years ago, and some of the
Democratic Senators are going to see
now whether they will be consistent.
Senator Stone of Missouri is going to
lead in the fight to put through the SEN
ate the tariff schedules that are revised
in the House.
Will Make a Fight.
He will not permit the Finance COM
mittee to bottle up the tariff measures
sent over from the House without
fight He will move to discharge the
Finance Committee from considerati ton
Of each one of these bills that it tries
TO bottle up. This will in all probability
precipitate a long debate on each of
the House measures.
Ihe House mas passed the reciprocity
measure, and the free list bill. 1t will
pass a bill to reduce wooden duties. 1t
is not likely to do more than this,
though there has been some talk of
cotton being taken up.
The free list bill is now in the Finance
Committee, and that committee intends
to keep it there. The wool bill will
in due time be sent to Finance and
pigeonholed.
Senator Stone will move to discharge
the committee from consideration Of
each of these bills. The resulting Strug-
gle may prolong the session greatly.
Conservative Senators say il is not un-
likely the session will be prolonged in
TO August, it may even reach Sep
tember.
Up to Insurgents.
Stone and other Democrats intend to
put it up to- the insurgents. They pur-
pose to do this especially on the wool
schedule. They intend to represent to
the country that the Democratic bill for
revision Of the wool schedule is sub
stantially what Dolliver and other Sem
ate insurgents cOntended for in 1909
and in case the insurgents funk and
refuse to support il, then they will as
sail the insurgents for inconsistency and
cowardiCe.
1t is certain, however, that some of
the insurgents, both in House and SEN
ate; are going to support the Demo-
cratic bill revising the wool and wool
en- duties. Just how many of them will
do so is unsettled, and some of them
are meditating deeply on what course
to take.

MADE HIMSELF BLUSH.


Trick by Which an Actor Achieved a
Realistic Stage Effect.
Daniel Frohman in his Memories
Of a Manager tells Of a muscular
trick by which Mr.. f. B.. Mackay
achieved an astonishing stage effect.
1t was In Bronson Towards "One of
Our Girls" Mr.. Mackay was playing
the part of French count, who, In
one OF the chief situations Of the play,
ig slapped in the face with a glove
by an English officer. Mr. Towards
idea was that the count should become
violent and furious at the affront but
Mr.. Mackay commended that as he had
been shown in the play to be an expert
duelist and accustomed to danger he
was not likely to lose control Of him
self.
Mr.. Howard saw the point. The re-
suit was that the Frenchman received
the insult without the movement of
muscle. He stood rigid Only lash
of the eye for an instant revealed his
emotion. Then the audience saw his
face grow red and then pale. This
was followed by the quiet announce
ment from the count that be would
send his seconds to the Englishman.
This exhibition of facial emotion be-
trayed by the visible rush Of blood to
the actors face was frequently noted
at the time. 1t was muscular trick
Mr.. Mackay put on a tight collar for
that scene and strained his neck
against it until the blood came. and
when he released the pressure and the
blood receded the effect was reached.

According-to theory enunciated by

cathode rays must be nearly equal to
that Of light and very much greater
