Mile. Dazzle and Margaret
Green Are at Present the
Chief Luminares.

New York, y. Y. Aug. 26-Like the
first blushing cowslip pushing its gold
en- crown above the mould of the COW
yard in the spring, Ready Money" at
Maxine Elliott's, some months later,
has forced through the dank mould
Of failure the ever welcome dollar
sign.
James Montgomery, the author. has
taken the ancient adage, Nothing sue
ceeds like success" for his theme and
has created as two of his principal
characters a counterfeiter, Jackson
Ives, played by Joseph KilgOur, and a
mine owner, stephen Baird, by VIII
liam Courtney, as he is known off the
stage.
This, is itstIf. is a promising combi-
nation, but the situation is made still
more promising by the presence OF
$4,000 hand manufactured dollars in
the possession OF Iyess % small pennies
of late miptage In the pocket of the
mine owner, and a girl with a real
diamond engagement ring, negotiable
at the sign Of the three balls The girl
also belongs TO the 1928 mine owner.
The general effect of the counter
felt wealth, absolute penury and hard
luck is further heightened by the
presence of fitting process server
about to attach the mine for an unpaid
note Of $4,000, a host Of wealthy
friends, who, like all friends Of wealth,
scent disaster from afar and hold
al0of, and the faint echo of the tu-
multous fun of New Years eve
sSteveS In Hard Luck.
If anyone could possibly be in worse
luck than Steve, we haven't found him.
Even/ his fiance is against him and
returns to give him back his ring, hold
ing that article Of jewelry tantalizing-
" before his hungerdimmed eyes for
one brief instant, then exercising her
Woman's prerogative and departing
with this passport to the bean counter
and the assurance that everything
win come out all right"
But through this fof of pessimism
Montgomery has woven the leaven Of
humor so neatly that it scintilates like
a sunlit river through the early morn
ing mist Steven wonders why the new
year don't begin on April 1, contem-
plates paper hanging with his bales
upon bales Of stock certificates as
stock in trade and pauses speculative
ly and reminiscently before a menu
card-a memento of past afflueuce.
And then there is the counterfeiter,
who, of necessity, is a bold. bad man
much sought by the police, but always
miraculously escaping the clutches OF
the law through some ruse of comical-
ity. It is he who shows the much be
set hero a way to lift himself free Of
difficulty by his own boot straps
said way embOdying nothing more or
less than the passage of the $4,000

TAFT SIGNS ARMY
AND CANAL BILLS
Does Not Consider the Canal
Bill a Violation of
the Treaty.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 26.-Presi-
dent Taft has signed the Panama can
al bill Following this he sent to con-
gress a memorandum suggesting the
advisability OF the passage Of a resO-
luton which would declare that this
measure was not considered by this
government a violation of the treaty
provisions regarding the canal
In discussing the British protest
against the exemption of American
for the use of the canal. Mr.. Taft
says the Irresistible conclusion to be
drawn from it is that although the
United States owns, controls and has
paid for the canal. it is restricted by
treaty from aiding its own commerce
in the way that all the other nations
Of the world may freely do
I'm view of the fact" Mr.. Taft con-
tinues, that the Panama canal is
being constructed by the United States
wholly at its own cost, upon territory
coded 1t by the republic Of Panama,
for that purpose and that unless it has
restricted itself. the United States en-
joys absolute rights of ownership and
control including the right to allow
its own commerce the use Of the
canal upon such terms as it sees fit,
the sole question is Has the United
States (by terms Of the Hay-Paunce-
IOLe treaty. QtpI4NGQ 4NSG4A oL the GA-
ercise of the right to pass its own
commerce free. or to remit tolls col
lected for the use of the canal"
The president points out that the
rules specified in the article of the
treaty which is made the basis for
the British protest is a declaration Of
policy by the United States that the
canal should be neutral; that the atti-
tude of this government towards the
commerce of the world is that all ma
lions will be treated alike and no dis
examinations made by the United
states against any one of them OBJ
serving the rules adopted by the Uni
ted States.
Army Bill Signed.
The president also has signed the
army appropriation bill carrying ap-
proximately $50, 0OO 900 and providing
reforms in the organization of the
war department y joint resolution
correcting the bill was passed by the
house and senate at the urgent request
OF secretary Stimson.

TREATIES STRIPPED
Of FORCE AND THEN
PASSED BY SENATE
Upper House Refuses to AL
low All Questions to Go.
to Arbitration.

Striking out features OF the arbItra-
ton treaties with France and England
That would have given a joint high COM
mission almost unlimited powers of ar
bitratng disputes with other nations,
and refusing to surrender its treaty.
making powers as given by the Consti-
tuition, the Senate late yesterday after
noon ripped out Objectionable parts of
the conventions on which President
Taft had insisted, inserted other import
ant provisions to limit the scope Of the
treaties and then ratified them.
The Senate action was a slap at the
Administration and triumph for the
contentious of Colonel Roosevelt. As
the treaties now stand, no such vital
question as the admission of aliens, the
territorial integrity of the United States,
mitted to arbitration. And in any event.
the Senate will have the final say about
all agreements.
This is at variance with the arbltra-
ton plan which President Taft has been
talking about. He was insisting on the
surrender of Its pPerogativeS by the Sen-
ate, of entrusting to a commission,
which might be made up of foreigners,
of questions of vital import to the
American people.
Held Dangerous.
1t was felt in the Senate that such a
policy was dangerous to the United
States, and that instead of being apt to
promote peace it was calculated to in
volve the country in trouble and event
ual war. Senators refused to tie their
hands by surrendering vast authority,
almost unlimited, involving the public
welfare. to unknown commissions Sc
leCtcd on the sayso of a State Depart
nent that might be incompetent or ig-
norant.
A features of the action of the Senate
on the treaties was that Senator Dixon,
of Montana, manager of the Roosevelt
campaign, wired Colonel Roosevelt that
the Senate had sustained his view of the
treaties. He said in his telegram:
THE Senate has ratified your conten-
ton in regard to the treaties. Our
Democratic friends have come to the
rescue"
1t is admitted by advisers of the Ad-
ministration that the treaties are dead
and will probably never be submitted
Dixon's Vote.
Senator DiXOn's vote. it had been ex-
peCted, would be to retain the clause
in controversy. But he voted the other
way. The fact Senator Lorimer refused
to stand with the Administration caused
surprise.
Another vital amendment was one
| crowded through by 46 to s6 offered by
Senator Bacon. 1t eliminated from ar
| bitration such subjects as the Mon.
roe Doctrine, admission of aliens
| admission of aliens to schools, ter.
was passed by the Democrats and in.

The treaties in their amended form
| were finally ratified rs to 3.

BESSIE M'COy, Of
DANCING FAME, TO
ELOPE, IS RUMOR
Richard Harding Davis
Name Mentioned in Con-
nection With Trip.

BALTIMORE, March S.-Bessie Nc
Coy, the sprightly dancer and comedi-
enne who had been featured in Zieg-
fields Follies during the week, Is no
longer member of that organization,
and thereby hangs tale. 1t was re-
ported from New York last night that
Miss Mccoy had left the company for
the purpose of embarking on the sea of
matrimony. and in this connection the
name of Richard Harding Davis, the
wel-known author and war correspon-
dent, was mentioned. 1t is believed
to be a fact that Mr.. Davis is in New
York city, and it is a fact that Miss
Mccoy left Baltimore Thursday after
noon for New York city, and will sail
from there today for Bermuda.
Plans Unknown.
Whether there will be any matrimonial
ceremony before the Snip sails, or
whether Mr.. Davis will be on the pas
senger list of the liner sailing for Ber-
muda is a matter of Specula tion. When
the Information concerning Miss Mccoy
reached the city from New York 1t was
stated that she was indsposed, and
was confined to her room in the Stat
ford Hotel. An investigation along this
line disclosed the fact that Miss Nc
Coy was not in her room, but, on the
contrary, had left for New York city
at o'clock in the afternoon.
1t was stated at the hotel that prior tG
her departure Miss Mccoy had received
several long distance telephone mes
sages from New York, and that she did
considerable shopping along Charles
street before she was whirled to Union
Station in motor car.
TnA tDlN nrtGs Ta
brought to the attention of Manager
Rosenbaum, of the FOllies at Ford S
Opera House, and he made the follow
ing statement:
Miss Mccoy has been far from well
for some time, and she was 50 much
indisposod once that she practically
fell down in her act. While we were
in Springfield, some time ago, she com
planned of her poor health, and earn
cstly requested that she be allowed tC
sever her connection with tho company
She was prevailed upon to remain, as
she was told the season would sOor
end after the Baltimore engagement
While in Baltimore she was under the
care of a specialist, and her break
down was so complete that 1t was
deemed imperative for her to leave the
company.
Hardly Credits Story.
Miss MCCoy, upon the advice of hel
physician here. left Baltimoro for The
purpose of taking a trip to Bermuda
I know nothing about her plans tc
marry Mr.. Davis, and l hardly credl
them. Both Miss Mccoy and MIR. Davis
are my friends. and in their absence Il
would be unfair to say what they
might do. know that some time age
Mr.. Davis and Miss Mccoy were OF
friendly terms. Whether that friend
ship continues I am unable to say"
