ANOTHER BARRYMORE COMEDY

AT the opera house IN this city on
Monday, March IS, John Barrymore
aided by a splendid company, will
appear in Half a Husband" written
by w. j. Hurlbut, author of "The
Fighting Hope" and produced by the
Liebler Co. Young Mr.. Barrymore's
appearance in the role of the half
married Tony BECKER will have an ad.
ditional interest in that 1t marks his
first appearance as an actual star, all
by himself, for though he was featur-
ed at the head of the original For
tune Hunter company his real stel-
lar tours have all been in conjunction
with other stars, it marks the begin
ming of Mr.. Barrymore's long contract
with the Liebler Co., and finally his
play marks the debut Of its author,
hitherto associated with plays of a
rather sombre character, as the wri-
ter of light comedy.
The plot of Half Husband" is
one of those things that had better
not be told in advance for much de-
ponds upon its telling. Mr.. Barry
more has a real Barrymore part, a
rather lazy, but entirely, lovable
young ne'er-do-well, a man afflicted
with the disheartening vice OF I'M
punctuality. When he is late at his
wedding, his flance is so thoroughly
put out about it that she balks in the
middle of the ceremony. Th,N est OF

efforts of the fifty per cent husband

MASSA CHUSETTS
TO HAVE PRIMARY
ON APRIL 80
To Elect Delegates to the Ma
tional Conventions.
OLD LINE BOSSES LOST
Voters of Both Parties Get the Right
to Make Their Own Choice by
Direct Ballot

Boston, March 11.-Presidential
preferential primaries on April 80
for the election Of all delegates to the
National political conventions are
practically assured by the passage of
the primary bill in the Senate today,
in concurrence with the House. The
vote was IS to Is, with six pairs. If
there is no change in sentiment in
either branch it is expected that the
bill will be laid before Gov Foss for
his approval before the last of the
week.
The bill wipes out all conventions
for the selection of delegates to the
National conventions, and the thirty
six Massachusetts delegates will go
to Chicago and Baltimore with the
knowledge Of the voters as to their
presidential and vice presidential pre-
ferences.
The Senate last week passed bill
limiting the preferential feature to
district delegates, but the House
amended the bill so as to include
delegates at large. Today the SEN
ate accepted the House amendment
by vote in which the opposition was
made up entirely of Republicans.
The Republican state committee
had already set April2 for the caucus
es and April IL for the state conven-
! ton.
The Democrats of the legislature
expect that Gov. Foss will sign the
bill.

MONOPOLY
TURNED OVER TO
THE TRUSTS
BY Decision of United States
Supreme Court.
ITS EFFECT is S RIOUS
Owners of Patents May Fix the Prl
ces and Conditions Under Which
the Articles May Be Sold

Washington, March 1.-THE SUI
preme court today held that the own
err of a patent has an unrestricted
monopoly upon all articles in its OPP
Grafton, may fix its price and pres
cribe its use, and thereby laid down
broad principle of doubtful applica-
ton to many of the governments i'm
portant antitrust suits now pending
which involve questions OF patent
rights.
The court stood four to three Chief
Justice White, with whom dissented
Justices Lamar and Hughes, in a
spirited opinion, voiced his dread OF
the results of the courts work, ask
ing who could foresee the extent OF
monopoly and wrongful restrictions
which would arise. AS construed by
the majority of the court, the chief
justice declared the patent law could
reach out to include within a patent
every conceivable thing used in every
American household.
The chief justice declared that con
gress should act to head of untold
evils" which would follow the courts
construction OF the law and arraigned
the majority as having broken all
presidents. The court in its history
he said, had never failed to do It's
duty TO the whole people and to stand
as the protector of every household.
Justice Lurton, who delivered the
majority opinion, was joined by Jus
tees McKenna, Holmes and Van DE-
Vanter.
Officials of the department of JUS
tice were not inclined to discuss the
courts decision or its application t
antitrust suits. Attorney Genera
Wicersham and Solicitor Genera
Lehman heard the decision and re
garded 1t as epoch-making. Neither
would make a statement.
During the last two years the de
partment of justice in its prosecu
lions under the Sherman law, has en-
countered more and more the ques
ton of the rights of patentees. Some
officials of the department have pre-
iicted that the antitrust suits of tn,
future would be fought along thes,
ines. That question was involved il
the case against the electrical trust
now settled in favor of the govern
ment, and some officials think The
same question might be introduced
in any antitrust suit against any in
dustrial combination.
Because of the. importance of tn,
decision to the enforcement OF tn,
Sherman law, it is not improbabl,
that rehearing may be asked for t
bring the question before a full bencl
of justices, Justice Day did not par
ticipate and the vacancy caused b,

THE AMERICAN DISEASE.
Indigestion, Chronic and Acute, and the
Digestive Organs.

Digestive Organs.
Indigestion, phase of dyspepsia
which has been called the American
disease, is very common, and its dis
agreeable symptoms are but, too well
known. Chronic Indigestion, or dys-
pepsia, is very prevalent, and in med
ical phrase an acute disease is opposed
to chronic in the sense that while a
chronic disease runs a long time the
acute form Is attended with severe
symptoms and is likely to come speed
lily to crisis.
Acute Indigestion, therefore, is a con-
dition In which the digestive organs,
because they are either naturally weak
or are worn out, overworked or tempo
rarily abused, fail to perform their
functions and the whole system is
thrown "out of gear" This may be
due primarily and directly to overeat-
ing or to eating improper food, to gorg-
ing tie stomach with inadequately
mastIcated food, to retarding its nor.
NAL action with too much liquid or to
other local influences.

pepsia there generally is intense pain,
often followed by sickness and vomit.
