PRESSERS TO ASK MAYOR
TO INTERCEDE WITH COPS
Say Police Have Not Given
Strikers Fair Deal.

Leaders in the pressers' strike have
called a mass-meeting of the strik-
ing tailors and pressers, to be held
at 3 p. m. at strike headquarters, POI
Bruce street. The present situation
and future plans of the strike will be
discussed at the meeting. Z
1t is understood hal August Ma
rotto, general strike leader, with a
number of his assistants, will be
given a hearing tonight by Mayor
Haussling. The strikers are anxious
to have the Mayor intercede in their
behalf for a better deal from the po-
lice force Of the city than they allege
they have received thus far.
The cases of Jimmie laramie and
Samuel Eiser, two strikers, who were
arrested on a technical charge of
lettering. will come up for a hearing
tomorrow in the Fourth Precinct Po-
lice Court. The men will be repre-
sented by Assemblyman Mortimer F.
Lowy. counsel for the pressers'
union.
At present there seems to be no
chance for an early agreement be-
tween the bosses of the tailoring
shops and the pressers. The bosses
seem determined in their refusal to
sign the ''union" agreement asked by
the new union and the pressers are
equally determined to stick out until
the fight is won.

a line aboard the Caterina. AT 1870
o'clock a line was landed by a life
boat and the breeehes buoy rugged.
Before 5 o'clock every man was off,

MANTELL DEPICTS
PERFECT MACBETH
Shakespearean Actor at Shu-
bert's Holds Audience Un-
der Spell of His Art.

Running the gamut of every hu-
man emotion and holding the audi
ence tense and silent Robert b. Man
tell presented the great tragedy from
the pen of William Shakespeare,
Macbeth" at the Schubert last night
before an audience that. despite the
inclement weather. filled the entire
house.
The staging of the piece was a fea-
ture. and every detail, no matter how
unimportant, was present. The act
ing Of the entire company was very
good, while Mr.. Mantell in the role
of the aspiring general. who, to gain
the crown of Scotland murders his
guest and ruler, King Duncan. vas
wonderful.
His portrayal of fear. then desire
n bravado, when tainted by his
wife, whose ambition was to be the
greatest woman of the country, was
the work of an artist.
In the scene during the plotting
and planning for the murder by Mac
beth and his wife the acting of both
Miss Florence Rockwell and Mr.. Man
tell held the audience as under a
spell, which was not broken until
the fall of the curtain.
Both Get Many Curtain CnIs.
Repeatedly Mr.. Mantell, with Miss
Rockwell. were called before the cur
tain. while the house rang with the
plaudits of an audience whose whole
being was lost in it's intense inter
est of the production.
The stage version of the tragedy
is that used by the great Edwin
Booth, and is staged upon the rules
laid down by that greatest of all
American ~tragedians.
Not alone did Mr.. Mantell's acting
bring the play to the point of ex-
cellency reached, but the portrayal
the murdered king. and Macduff, as
played by Fritz Libber, were perfect.
Each Role Carefully Presented.
Although the majority of charac-
ters were of minor Importance each
was presented as carefully and per-
fectly as though they were the point
upon which the success of the play
hinged.
Every detail of the scenes and dra-
matte part was made of vital impor-
lance, and Mr.. Mantell, under whose
direction the tragedy vas staged,
spared no efforts to give 1t the true
characteristics.
Despite the fact that many parts
of no Importance and which might
tend 60 confuse the audience were
eliminated in IN effort. to keep the
performances from running too long,
1t was well past the usual theatre
time before the final curtain fell.

COTRTS AND APPEALS.

Agitation against excessive tecnnlcal-
ity in court procedure bore fruit during
the last session Of the New York Legs
lature in the adoption OF the following
amendment to the Code of Civil Pro-
cedure:
After hearing the appeal, the court
must give judgment, without regard 10
technical errors or defects or 10 eXcep-
tions which do not affect the substan-
tial rights of the parties.
This provision, Of course, leaves 1t
entirely in the discretion of courts TO
determine what are sufficient grounds
on which to grant new trial. Judges
might hold that all the grounds on
which they have hitherto been reversing
lower courts have affected the substan-
tial rights Of the litigants. \ precisely
similar law has been on the statute
book regarding appeals in criminal
cases, and the public at least still re-
CARDS the courts as too prone to grant
retrials In criminal actions. But 1t Is
the best that legislature can do In
laying down "A rule for the guidance Of
courts of appellate jurisdiction. the
same provision has been Incorporated in
the codes of several other states and Is
said by legal authorities 10 have worked
well. At any rate, In some OF those
states the courts have the reputation or
being less addicted TO technlcalities than
those Of New York.
The enactment Of this new provision
again calls attention to the fact that
simplifying and introducing common
sense into the processes Of justice are
largely a matter for the courts them
selves. A critical attitude on the bench
toward hoary practices and customs Of
the courts is what is needed. Fortunate
ly there is reason TO hope that the courts
of this state will do their part toward
bringing about the reform which this
new provision Of the code is meant TO
promote.

RECIPROCITY ON THE BORDER

To tho Editor OF The Tribune:
Sir: An amusing incident In the northern
part Of the state took place on recent
visit TO the Canadian border, having In
mind the opposition I'm that locality to the
reciprocity treaty.
Proceedings were taken against we'll
known man by the United States Custom
House authorities for smuggling hogs from
Franklin County, New York, across the
Canadian border into Canada, where a
higher price was paid for pork than could
be secured in the United States. His load
Of hogs was cOnfscated his team also
was conhscated. which was appraised at
500. and in addition fine was imposed
upon him. The driver escaped from the
authorities.
Another amusing incident is the tempta-
tlon OF the farmers along the line to pur-
chase American harvesting machinery
across the border, for the reason that II can
be purchased much cheaper there than II
can be I'm the United States, where It is
manufactured.
Why should the American farmer be re-
quired to pay a higher price for the ma
chnery which he gets 10 cultivate his
farm than foreign countries pay, and why
are farm products higher In Canada than
they are In the United States. and who
would have received the greatest benefit
from the proposed enactment OF the reel
procity treaty, Canada or tho United
States? Apparently Canada thought tho
United States was going to get the best
end Of IT, RICHARD j. DONOVAN.
