The boy disappeared and didn't re-

Presently he remembered the boy and

the lad studying the big dictionary

A woman, Mrs. Josephine Preston

bridge. Mass.,, has achieved the honor
of writing play so aglow with living
dramatic interest and poetic beauty
THAT critics have placed 1t among the
VERY few works of dramatic art OF
modern times that can be read as well
las acted.
Every one knows that this play, THE
Piper" won last year the Stratford-on-
Avon prize and was presented at the
Memorial theater in Shakespeare
own town, But it is not so well known
h fact that the play was not written
for the Stratford competition. II en-
tered the contest In the form Of 4
printed book three weeks before the
lists closed.

Skinner, as "Chantecler' was written
for Coquelin. But, Mr.. Skinner being
unable to produce 1t within the time
specified by contract, the play was pub.

SENATE MAY REOPEN
BRIBERY INVESTIGATION.

Washington, April 5.-l.ittle doubt
exists here that an effort will be made
to reopen the Senator Lorlmer case

Insurgent republicans have considered

was in the hope of getting such a
statement that Senator La Toilette OPP
posed fixing time for a vote on the
case.
When he became satisfied that he
could not get the information desired,
he permitted the case to come to u
vote and II resulted in the exonera-
tlon Of the junior Illinois senator.

tend that under senate precedents he
could not be unsoated unless II was
shown that he had been cognlzant Of

Kansas City, April 5.--Stocks and

widow of the late Simeon h. Armour
of the Armour Packing company. and

few thousand dollars has been restor-

The theft came 20 light through
purchases made with money derlv-
ed from the sale of the stocks and
bonds. The securities were taken
from the safe deposit vault and ne
gotlated through brokers in Kansas
City. IL was the custom of the per-
son who took the securities to send
them by negro messenger to the
brokers with note asking that they
be sold. The brokers who sold the
securities believed the money was be-
ing used by Mrs Armour 70 charities
and that she possibly was hiding her
generosity in that way,
ATTORNEYS for Mrs. Simeon y. Ar
mour tonight gave out more details
Of the theft, but absolutely refused 20
name the guilty party. The thief
who is close TO Mrs. Armour has con-
fessed and been forgiven. No prose-

Washington, April 5.--Whether
forty-one senator's constituting the
democratic party in the senate shall
support a conservative or progressive
policy during the present session of
congress, formed the subject of an
earnest and animated conference par
ticipated In today by about fifteen
democratic senator's. The meeting
was held In the committee rooms of
Senator stone of Missouri.
The gathering grew out of the visit
of William j. Bryan and was due to
the prospect that Senator Martin of
Virginia would be elected chairman
of the democratic senatorial caucus.
The Nebraska leader is understood
to have counseled his intimate sena-
torial friends TO select some other
senator more inclined toward the
Byran policies.
MIR. Bryan offered no personal OBJ
lection to Mr.. Martin, but pleaded
that the party should take ADVANTAGE
OF its present opportunity. He
thought this could be done only
through an aggressive policy. to
which, In Mr.. Bryan's opinion. Mr.,
Martins membership would not be
conducive.
AS many of the democratic sena-
tors had pledged their votes to their
Virginia colleague. the suggestion
was embarrassing. and conservative
senators expressed resentment at the
interposition. The conference occu-
pied -four hours. The only definite
conclusion reached was 10 ask that
the democratic senatorial caucus,
scheduled for tomorrow. be post
poncd until Friday There win be no
session OF the senate Friday, thus af-
| fording further opportunity for ex-
changing views.
| The scope of today's discussion ex-
panded from caucus leadership to
| Legislative program. All the senators
| present expressed themselves as fav-
! orable to the course OF action formu-
| lated by the house democratic caucus
last Saturday.
This program embraces the appro-
val of the constitutions adopted by
| New Mexico and Arizona, including
| the recall provision of the latter; the
acceptance of the Canadian recipro-
city agreement and the election OF
| senators by direct vote, anu the re-
apportionment OF the house of rep

or Wilson, United states Senator
James b. MARITIME and Frank $. Kat

ers. Speaker Champ Clark was un-

Colonel Bryan was the first speak
er and received an ovation. His SUBJ
ject was. "Watchman, What OF the

He declared that the world Is NOV

There is more study of public ques-
tions now and people look at things
from a higher standard Fifteen
years ago, he said. the wealth of the
world was being transferred from
the wealth producers TO the money
changers.
Today the situation is different.
Debts contracted fifteen years ago
are now being paid by dollars worth
only two-thirds of what they were
worth when the debts were contracted.
There is no talk of reputation and
the people are gradually being re-
leased from the clutch of the money
changers.
As indicating the progress made
during the last fifteen years Colonel
Bryan mentioned the movement for
the popular election of senators and
predicted that before the special seq
sion adjourned congress would adopt
an amendment of this kind. lie also
looked for the ratification Of the In
come tax amendments
Colonel Bryan paid n tribute to
