The governor, aroused by the be-

the direction of Paul Leahy who has

The wooden approach from this side
will be cut off about 80 feet and the

concrete. Mr.. Manning voted against
the proposed charter amendment to

HOBSON'S PLEA FOR MERCHANT MARINE

Washington, January 25.-Restoration of the American merchant marine was char acterized as patriotic duty'' and mot political expedient' by Representative Richmond Pearson Hobson of Alabama today in an address before the National Merchant Marine congress. He said:
 ''It is true that bitter antagonisms have been aroused in the past, but I believe that preached in the proper spirit of con- solidation both parties can yet get to- gether before the end of the present Con gress and enact the legislation neces- sary to accomplish this object.
 t'In addition to high-class vessels for auxiliary naval purposes our merchant rnarine must have large tonnage of cargo carriers. In the present state of international competition 1t will be prac- tically necessary to induce or drive car goes into American bottoms. To be com plete this provision should provide for a reduction of not less than per cent on goods that are dutiable and an assess ment of per cent ad valorem on goods on the free list We should drive the cargoes now indirect trade into American bottoms by discrimination of per cent added upon all goods in the indirect trade. Tn addition to this inducement I believe we could remit the head money tax on immigrants brought in American bottoms and could well pay out of the United States treasury the tolls required by the Panama canal.
 "In view of the urgent need of vessels, I believe a comprehensive measure should also embrace a provision for free ships When owned entirely by American eap- ital althoughfof foreign build. and that only the coastwise trade and mail con- tracts should be denied such vessels as are now in existence. A measure embrac- ing both cargo carriers and high-cass vessels for naval auxiliaries could be drawn to meet the essential requirements of both democrats and republicans, and thus take the matter out of politics There should then be no trouble encoun- tered in having the measure enacted into law

MAUDE ADAMS MAKES
 HIT IN "CHANTECLER'
Rostsnd's Play Is Presented in New York City
TT IS LAVISHLY STAGED
tecler' in a Very Effective Way and Reads Prologue in Full
 Evening Dress

New York, January 23.-With Miss Maude Adams in the title part, Edmond Rostand's famous French play, Chan teeler' had its first production in English upon any stage at the Knickerboeker theatre here tonight. lThe event had been looked forward to for many weeks and a representative audience witnessed the production.
 The version is a poetic translation of the original, not an adaptation. by Lois N. Parker, staged lavishly with all the wealth of costumes and scenery that artist and designer could conceive.
 "Chantecler' Is not an allegory, is not satire. It simply is a play in which the humble barnyard fowl and homely domestic animals, imbued with the feel ings and passions of humans, enact the riddle of life. Each spectator may see his own Image and read the answer to the problems which confront him.
 The main theme, of course, is the in- evitable trials and disasters that overtake those who believe they are called to play master part in life. And it is marked out in the story of "Chantecler" the rooster. who. firmly convinced that the sun rises each morning because he crows, gradually learns that it rises without his assistance. Finally he becomes reconciled to the fact that even if he does not make the sun rise he does announce the dawn of another day to sleeping world
 The role of "Chantecler'' as interpreted by Miss Adams, is that of a man, master full, passionately fond of his lifes work and sure he is accomplishing it. He meets the pheasant-representin woman the modern development of woman-domi- neering, selfish. jealous of the mans suc- cess. Then follows his disiliusonment when the pheasant tells him that the day has dawned without his crow. And his reply is that his destiny is surer than the day.
 Despite his disappointment. Chantecler realizes that he was created for pur- pose. And so he plays his minor part in the great scheme of things honestly and we'll

 FORMER REPORT

Washington, January 23.-Supporting

 Dakota, himself a member of that sub

 claimed that MT. Lorimer directly or in- dtrectly participated in any corrupt prac- tice and no evidence was adduced to con-
 meet him in the most remote degree with bribery.
 'I feel,' said the speaker. that if Sem practices and sufficient number of votes
 of the membership who voted for him
 were not tainted or corrupted, then he | should not be made to suffer as a result of general practice which appears to have been in vogue throughout different legislative sessions as affecting matters of legislation solely and disassociated from the election of a United States sen- ator"

 cast for Mir. Lorimer and alleged to have been tainted would yet leave Mir Lorimer a majority of one

ASKED TO RESIGN
 BY WICKERSHAM


 New Orleans, January 23.-Attorney General Wickersham has asked for the immediate resignation of United States District Attorney Charlton R. Beattie of New Orleans, according to a special Washington dispatch printed in the Item today.
 The action of the Attorney General, it is said, was called forth by Mir Beattle's public criticism of an opinion rendered by MT. Wickersham advising against an antitrust prosecution which the district attorney had started.
 The statement which the Attorney Gen. eral took exception to was given to the press by Mir. Beattie several weeks ago, following an investigation by the federal grand jury charges some time ago as to exchange rates violating the sherman antitrust law. No indictment was re- turned. asi ' sssss
 Subsequently the district attorney gave out an interview in which he said that the attorney general was of the opinion that the agreement referred to did not constitute a violation of the law. He added that he himself was of the opinion that it was violation and that he did not agree with the opinion of MT. Wicker sham.
 Mir Beattie refused to discuss the Washington report.
