THREE IMPORTANT
DISTRICT MEASURES
SENT TO SENATE
Police and Firemen's Pen
sion Bill Goes Over
Until Next Week. i

Three District bills were sent over TO
the Senate from the House today, and
Chairman johnson, of tho House COM
mittee, expects to dispose Of q vtill
larger number on the next District
day in the lower body.
The bills passed by the House after
spirited debate yesterday afternoon are:
The Sims deadly weapon bill, pro-
viding heavy punishment for those car
rying concealed weapons. The measure
as passed, however, does not contain
the drastic provisions FIRST contained in
the bill. .. e. ....
The bill authorizing the Attorney
General to claim title by suit to certain
lands lying along the Potomac river,
the Anacostia river, and Rock Creek.
An appropriation of $4,000 was author
lied to enable the Attorney General to
perfect the title OF the United States
to the contested land.
The bill authorizing and empower
Ing the Police Department TO promote

In 1906 and who was later reinstated.
The bill provides that Roberts shall
be promoted from class to the first
vacancy in class 3.
Pension Bill Goes Over.
After the passage Of these three
bills, Chairman johnson called UP the
police and fremen's pension bill, but
adjournment was taken when Con-
gresham Mann said he wanted to
make a lengthy speech on the meas
ure. 1t will be considered on the
next District day.
The Sims bill. as published in The
hours OF bitter debate and was finally
| amended so that the punishment for
| carrying concealed pistol. dirk.
razor or other DANGEROUS weapon.
In the discretion Of the courts. Ori-
ginally, the bill made the punishment
from two to three years imprison-
ment. without alternative.
Congressman Sims and johnson In
dignantly declared that the bill would
be made valueless IL discretionary pun

| son made an attempt to table the bill
! afte- II had been SO amended.
| The Mann amendment provides thai
| the punishment may be "a fine or not
more than $1,000. or Imprisonment not
more than two years"
Action on Roberts Case.
The bill for the relief of Policeman
| Spencer Roberts caused a heated dis,
cussion as to the wisdom OF Congres,
in 'Instructing' the promotion o. ar
| officer, even though he had been un,
Justly treated by an executive branch

Congressman O'Shaunnessy said thai
the Roberts case was en- exceptions
| one, and that the Commissioners hat
admitted that the dismissal of the Of
ficer from the force was unjustified, al
! was indicated when he was reinstatet
after '1ay-off' of several years Rob
erts had been exonerated, said Mr.
O'Shaunnessy. and II was but fair tina
amends should be made for his unjus
treatment
In order to avoid the technical obiec
tion that Congress ought not to direct
an executive branch OF the Government
the bill was finally amended so as L
read that the Commissioners are "au
thorized and empowered" TO promot,
the police officer.

lula Murdock Praises The Artistic
Production of Royle,s "7he Squaqu Mar"

as captain of the Sixteenth Lancers,
Mr.. Robins is every inch a soldier"
both az to bearing and appearance. His
big emotional scene, in which he bids
his little son good-by, Is splendid bit
OF acting, which leaves the audience, as
we'll as Mr.. Robins himself. In tears.
Though the part OF Naturich, the little
indian mother, Is small one, Miss
Nelson imbues 1t with a deep SYM
pathy, and her silent sorrow in the
third act, when she casts one long look
at husband and son Just before going
away TO take her life by her own
hand, Is one of the best scenes in the
production. 7
Miss Aiine McDermott is this week
adding laurels to those she has already
won during her brief engagement with
the Players, and is especially delight
full in the role or Diana. She is
equipped with a dainty stage presence
and a charming voice, and her popu-
larity has been steadily on the increase
since her Introduction to Columbia pa
irons two weeks ago.
The clever little child, Edna Koontz,
less than six years of age, has scored
personal triumph as little Hal. His
bright eyes and chubby cheeks, cou-
pied with his really excellent acting,
having won instant success. A. p. Mad
dox, a young Washington actor, is ex-
cellent in the character roles of Hiram
Doolittle and Bud Harvey
Barbier's Makeup ..+:
A Work of Art. a-.. ...
The makeup OF Mr.. Barber as the
old Indian chief Is no less excellent than
the manner in which he speaks the
language of the tribe and his splendid
creation OF his part.
Godfrey Matthews, as the Earl OF
Kerhlll, appears only in the first and
second acts, but plays his rather small
part acceptably. Miss Julie Blanc is
ideal in the role of the aristocratic
Lady Elizabeth Wynngate, as il Miss
Thatcher, as Lady Mabel Wynngate.
Altogether there are twenty-eighl
people in the cast OF THE Squaw Man,
some OF the roles being so insignificant
as to seem almost unnecessary, but al
contributing toward well-balanced
production which--is- scoring heavily
with large audiences this week.
The piece is we'll mounted, the first
scene being artistic TO a degrees. The
second Is a picturesque reproduction oi
| the interior OF a frontier saloon and
gambling house, and the third shows
| the ranch house of Jim Carsten and hi:
squaw wife, at Green river, which the
| author has so wildly described a!
| follows:
Green river was the excuse for Car
| stems ranch, and even Green river wal
| in low spirits. Through the long days
| the alkaH plains have cracked under
| the withering sun; the grease wood anC
sage brush. natures Imitation of as
| the river to the west even the sagt
brush and scrub oak had given up II

Paul, q recruit to the Columbia Play
ers. Though neither Of these parts were
especially long, both Mr.. Barber and
Mr.. Paul have declared that never in
their entire dramatic experience have
they been called upon to memorize such
difficult lines.
Every word in Mr.. Barbier's role is
spoken in the actual Ute language,
which linguists have declared is one OF
the most difficult tongues to master
Mr.. Paul, too, is called upon to use this
language in many parts of the play,
For these reasons both gentlemen found
their parts exceptionally difficult.

POLITICAL
CHANNEL
HILLES FINDS SOME HARD SLED
DING FROM THE START-MAY
NOT BE ABLE TO GET TAFT
ELECTORS ON THE BALLOT.
UNITED PRESS LEASED winn.l

Washington, July 1O.-Charles d.
Hilles inaugurated his new job today
by plunging into an attempt to solve
the problems of Taft and Roosevelt
presidential electors. In an effort to
determine whether it is best to oust
the Roosevelt electors already
nominated or run Taft electors as in
dependents in certain states, Hilles
held series of conferences with mem
bers of the national committee and
national Republican leaders.
The president participated in some
of the discussions. The South Da-
kota, Kansas and Pennsylvania situ-
ations were gone over in detail.
J. Hampton Moore, Of Pennsylvania,
told Hilles that If separate tickets
are necessary to get Taft electors
names on the official ballot, there will
be scarcely any hope Of electing a
Republican congress.
Senator Gamble said the South Da-
kota state committee elected all
Roosevelt men as Republican cleo
tors, and all of them now say they
will vote for Roosevelt in the elector-
al college. In that state Hilles must
petition to put Taft electors on the
ballot.
In Kansas Governor Stubbs and
Senator Bristow are for Roosevelt
Should Kansas electors be for Roose-
welt, Taft will have no defense Hilles
cannot even nominate electors by pc
tition. 1t is predicted that the regu-
lar Republicans in Kansas will sup
port Wilson in order to defeat Roose-
welt.
In California the Republican nom
inees for the state legislature all
Roosevelt men, will select the presi-
dental electors.
