QUICK AND DECISIVE ACTION
NEEDED.

Two subcommittees of the Senate
Committee on Privileges and Elections
are taking testimony in two cases in
volving the right of Senators to their
seats. The Dillingham; investigators
are at work in Chicago on the Lorimer
case. The Hepburn branch is in Wis
consin looking. into the election of
Stephenson.
1t is reported that the Hepburn COM
mittee has taken over 100000 words
of testimony in twenty-four days, and
is not nearly done yet. The total it
will take, however it may run into in
comprehensive figures, will not be q
circumstance compared to that which
will be recorded in the Lorimer inquiry.
At some time not very late in the
coming session of Congress these two
subcommittees may be expected to pre-
sent their reports to the Senate. There
after, either or both of them may be
utilized for buffer purposes. Without
much doubt that is exactly what will
be done. At the session last winter
the Lorimer case served this purpose
most effectively, and there is indica-
tion already that the upper house will
be prepared to talk ad lib on these
twain cases. Of,
With such tremendously voluminous
records as are being made it is going
to be an utter impossibility for Sena-
tors to attend to other duties and
still thoroughly familiarize themselves
with all the literature Of these two un-
savory cases. The reports Of the sub.
committees will have to be relied upon,
in large part, and therefore it is neces-
sary that these reports should present
the fairest and most accurate possible
view of the situation.
The country is going to become ex-
ceeding impatient If the Senate de-
velops disposition once more to talk a
session into its grave over these cor
ruption charges. There is no reason
why the committees should not present
their reports, and day be fixed when
they should be taken up, considered at
reasonable, length, and voted upon.
True, the Senate has no closure; that
is, it has no closure except by the
unanimous consent which agrees on
fixing q time for a vote on a given
question. That is as effective form
of closure as any legislative body on
earth knows. It is the sort that should
be invoked in this instance. 1t will not
benefit the Senate, the country, or the
political interests of gentlemen who
take part in any conspiracy to use
these cases to kill off legislation. Let
them be voted on early and fairly, and
then give the country chance to pass
its verdict at the polls a year hence.

and 1t is source OF genuine delight to
see her gradually unfold her conception
Of this character. and to listen to the

Speaking Of cases OF dual personality
and the immense, vogue which stories
dealing with this subject have had
within the past decade, Mr.. Shea con-
tinued: re. .s'
Strange to say, many persons asso-
ciate the idea OF dual personality from
the date of Robert Louis Stevenson's 8
publication of DIR. Jekyll and Mr..
Hyde" as though he were the Christo-
pher Columbus OF that remarkable brain
state. when the fact Is, II Is as old as
Adam. Long before Stevenson, the
knowledge, of dual personality existed,

would do good evil Is within me. 1t is

spondents had small chance in the com.
petition. The thing that got circula-
tion came TO be believed, and history
was the story which was written, not
the thing that happened.
Our japanese friends put an end to
the glory of the war correspondent,
and now we all know that there is to
be no more of his highly -colored de-
scription Of things as they would have
looked best If they had only happen
ed that way. The kibosh has been ap.
piled for all time. The instrumental
ties of practically constant and in.
stantaneous communication by wire
and. wireless, by cable and fart trans
port, are to be monopolized by the
military agencies, not for the purpose
Of informing the enemy, through the
press, of plans and movements, but
with intent to direct operations, main
tain the best possible information and
cooperation, and keep everything as
nearly as possible secret.
That is why there is so little Of
definite information from Tripoli; why
there have been few good stories" from
the north Of Africa and the Leyant;
why the war between Italy and Turkey
continues week after week good deal
of an enigma.
1t is said that since the Russo Jap.
anese war all the strategy boards and
war councils in Europe have adapted
their plans for future conflicts to the
revolutionized conditions that have
come with the realization that substan.
tial secrecy may be maintained. The
correspondent will get no consideration,
the wires and cables will be foreclosed
to him, and the waiting world, strain.
ing It's eyes toward the theater of the
absorbing operations, will get only such
glimpses as the military authorities
may deem fitting to permit.
Without much doubt this policy will
rob war of much of its lure and at.
traction. When struggle for control
of vast province Is reduced to the
strictly business basis Of q campaign
for the harvesting of the Kansas wheat
crop, there will not be so much excite.
ment about it; the glory will make less
appeal, the pulse will beat slower, the
cheerless statistics of dead and in.
jured will come in for cooler contem.
plation, the waste and wickedness and
burden of it all will have to be con.
sidered because the grandeur and ex.
citement of the spectacle will be re-
moved.
Perhaps war will be deal less popu,

From Eternal Triangle" to

IN
"THE BELLS"IS WEIRD
Actor Naturally Equipped in Voice
and Physique For Hard
Dramatic Roles.

Rarely. indeed, arc patrons Of popular-
price houses treated to such excellent
character acting as that In the engage
mcnt OF Thomas e. Shea. at the Acad-
eHy this week. Splendidly equipped In
voice and physique, Mr.. Shea possesses
the infrequently found accomplishment
OF acting, even In his melodramatic
roios. In natural an untheatric man.
ner. =
Tho engagement was opened by "A
Man and His WIFE" new play. from
the pen Of Samuel Shipman, in which
Mr. Shea gives an Interpretation OF the
character OF business man, president
OF an all-night bank in the City Of New
York. Upon the premise that the world
is built upon two pillars-"money and
matrimony"-the play is based. and a
new angle Of the eternal triangle" Is
presented In the problem of the man
who fnds that his wife has married him
for noney-not for love.
The second Offering to which Mr.. Shea
has treated his audiences this week is
the old but ever popular drama, Tho

thing In the way OF play that ever
has been staged. with tho possible ex-

more from the nameless and horrible
something that is driving old Matthias

master draws the bands Of his neck

dies across his bed. 1t is q supreme
climax, one that fairly makes the audi
ence shudder.
"Jekyl and Hyde" Best
In the Shea Repertoire.
But, greater than all other plays In
Mr., Shea's repetoire, is 'Dr. Jekyll and

dual personality that found its femi-

eliminated. in another washington

1t always Is timely subject, because

wonderful advancement. and It Is a
pity that Mr.. Stevenson. with his won
deIved deeper into the fassinat,ms nan nHs
depths of the mind, instead OF turning
out a fragmentary and disjointed sketch
that merely touches the fringe OF this
subject.
Numerous Cases of Dual -..
Personality In Real Life. -~'
''since he wrote his book. numerous
cases have come to light, showing the
wonderful eccentrtcities Of the mind.
The Norristown incident in The Case
Of Becky is only one of the instances
that are known and recorded. without
taking the drug OF DIR. Jekyll, to trans
form him into q demon, there are 9TH
er drugs, close to us. In the form OF
Intoxicating beverages that have turn
ed many good. moral men into fiends,
reveling In the lowest forms of vice
and leading many unfortunate victims
even to the electric chair"
Mr.. Shea cited as an instance a
strange case OF dual personality he
observed In the State of Michigan.
There he met physician who had
wonderful hypnotic powers, and used
them legitimately in the practices OF
his profession. One Of his patients, q
servant named Sally had triple per
sonality-her normal condition as sally.
hypnotic somnambulance, and an en-
tireiy new and different condition.
In the second she does not feel PIN
pricks; In the third state her sensi-
oility Is normal; in the second state
she can tell what has happened in the
first and third state; in the FIRST and
third she knows nothing Of what hap
pened in the second, but In the third
state she knows what happened In
the first, even better han while in the
first itself. but not what happened in
the third.
This physicians paper on this remark
able case was read before the Inter-
national Medico-Legal Congress at its
last meeting held In Chicago.
Taking this case to be true" Mr..
Shea said in conclusion, surely Tho
Case OF Becky and the Strange Case
of DR.. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, are; not
beyond the bounds of belief. and tn
stead of being ridiculous and absurd.
as some scofferr aver, there must be
some truth in this theory of multiple
