 Was it your favorite song?"
 F "I liked 'Cobwebs on the Wali in 'Tribulations best of all the songs we sang in our plays, but the public didn t agree with me in this: cohweb's did mt go at all. But they did like Paddy Dufy's Cart and so did I. You see, I had sat on the cart-the Dutchma n s grocery cart-as a boy How many thousands of New York boys of my age have sat on the grocery cart in the summer evenings to sing and tell stories. The song was so true-every word of 1t.
 No, the public didn't always agree with me in songs or plays. There was my play, 'Peto I loved that play, but the public didn't care anything about 1t. So 1t was with 'Mordecai Lyons which we put on in 1882 which I Ill. ed so much; 1t was our first failure. The people liked The Blackbird' and Squat ter Sovereignty which preceded it.

TT IS generally conceded that coun
 try without commercial integrity l is coyntry without moral stand ard- This<can be cited to be true with out going 10 the law books of tnterna- tional commercial relations to ascertain the width or breadth of the concession
 For years Mexico has been under ban of Licensed concessions meaning that all business houses, both foreign and native, were expected and com pelled to pay concessions to do business. This tribute is entirely aside from the tax duties on goods sold or maintained in stock by firms carrying on a general business.
 These conditions continue at the pres ent time, despite the fact that The Old Man" (Diaz), has surrendered his hold on the government of the republic, and they will survive for a long time to come It Is impossible for a new order of things to come soon, and although Madero Is known to be anxious at this lime to forward every effort towards greate and freer conditions of a com mercial and social character. yet a the very root of the countrys financial standing lies the greatest obstacle that the country has to face and overcome.
 Mexican money in Europe is now rated at 24 cents on the peso. That this
 
 classes in. the republic is shown by the scarcity of money for government i'm provements that is necessary at this very moment. and they in turn refuse to come to the help of the home country.
 The industrial conditions now exist ing are bad, very bad. Money that has heen invested by natives and by others can never be returned in full, If at all Claims that are now pending and will be presented to the capitol have accu- mulated to such great figures that news on this particular subject is rigidly ex cluded from all state reports. Ameri- cans who have heavily invested in min ing al Colima Massinillo. Mazatlan. and along the coast lines of Guadalaia iara have but to cast their eyes towards their mine machinery and see thousands of dollars of capital going 10 ruin. That 1T Is the intention of the Madersts to act honorably with outside investors is not denied but the great question is, when? and another following on its footsteps is. how?
 Madero with all his book lore Is man enough to realize the great acclaim he would receive if he was the direct in strument of settling any claims that are now pending especially so in the case

The affair will be under the auspices of the Vaudeville Comedy club. There will be a bill of nine acts Every officer and member of the club who will be in the east at that time has offered his services.

Dan Frohman, who recently reduced balcony and gallery seat prices in his Chicago theatre may cut prices here. He believes high-class theatrlcal attractions should be placed within the reach of the people who now find the prices too high, and virtually have nothing left to turn to but the picture shows.
 The reductions are from 15 cents, s1 and sl 50 the balcony seats will be cut to 50 cents fiat, all reserved. From 50 cents and 75 cents the gallery prices will be cut to 9 cents fiat.
 '1 have consulted with Mrs. A. Starr Vest and Miss Alice Honstonr the heads of one of the most influential organiza- tiops in the country, so far as theatres are concerned" said MT. Frohman. l'he
 league is trying to bring first-class drama within the reach of all classes, and we believe this can be done by reducing prices of balcony and gallery seats.
 Many people go to the moving picture shows because they cannot afford to see plays, and the pictures have taken away one of the important requisites of the theatre. We need gallery gods. The last time Henry Irving played this country he commented very sadly upon the fact that his beloved gods were missing. They are a most potent factor in the prosper ity of the drama, because they are in- terested, enthusiastic and demonstra- tiNe II they approve or play they snow it. It they disapprove they show 1t and they form the pest barometer of public opinion. If the. play ig rot good the sooner we know 1t lne better" Some of the other prominent local man. agers believe that. while Chicago may need gallery gods for its dramas suc- cess New YorK doesn't have to regard the gods as a vital factor. They say New York audiences are different from those that attend Chicago playhouses. There
 is less of the really gaiie.y element here. l New York gets many thousands more visitors than Chicago, and these people
 are big factor in tse support of the drama here. Chicago has to depend on
 its own population mainly for audiences,
 and that must include the gallery god. i Ali Hayman expressed the opinion that | a move to reduce balcony and gallery | prices would not be considered seriously Il Henry B. Harris says theatres pro- I ducing first-class iplaysf did not need to give special encouragement to the I gallery eloment, He said
 "T~~ tho ~crrlar' priced theatres a reduction might accomplish good re- se4l. llloae theatres come. perhaps

WHITE REPEATS STORY OF 1RIB'

pot" and How Fund Was
Distributed.

Washington, Aug. 2. - Charles A.
White. the confessed bribe-taker >of
the Illinois legislature was on the wit
ness stand before the senate Lorimer
committee, telling his tale of corrup-
ton, and when the committee ad.
journed his story had not been COM
pleted.
Whites testimony followed in out
line that given at the first Lorimer
Investigation by the senate. Attorney
Marble, for the committee, allowed
the witness, however, to tell many de
tails not mentioned in that hearing,
but published in Whites so-called con-
fession in the Chicago Tribune.
Without flinching or qualification
White told of being asked by Lee
O'Neil Browne, minority leader in the
legislature, to vote for Lorimer and
of being told by Browne that there
would be no chicken feed in it..
either" He described in wealth of
detail the alleged payment to him by
Browne of $1,000 as "Lorimer money"
The witness told what he did with the
money, even explaining to the commit
tee that he had only $3.50 in the bank
at the time. so he placed $500 more
on deposit in order to pay some bills.
The distribution Of the Jackpot" or
general corruption fund for legislators
was described. White told again Of
meeting Representative Robert E. Will
son at ST. Louis hotel on July Is,
1909, together with Representatives
Harry A. Sheppard, Charles S. Luke.
Joseph S. Clark and Michael Link.
The witness explained that Luke COM
planned to him in the hotel lobby that
the 5000 being given to each member
as his share of the Jackpot" was not
enough. 1t was at this time, White
said, that Luke spoke of White and
others receiving $1,000 each for vot-
ing for Lorimer.
II made my deal direct with Lori.
mer," White quoted Luke as saying.
White told how Wilson called Shep-
pard from the room, in which all the
representatives had been talking. into
the bathroom and then, after Sheppard
came out, how he himself was called
into the bathroom by Wilson. AS Will
son handed White 5000, White testi.
fled, Wilson said:
There is all Of it; am glad to be
relieved of it."
