POIf'E Theater.

An unusual degree Of interest attaches
10 the offering Of the Poll Players this
week, for The Fourth Estate although
a big success both in New York and
Chicago. has never been presented in
Washington. Its performance by the
Poll organization, tomorrow night,
therefore, will take on the appearance of
a Washington premiere.
The Fourth Estate" is a throbbing
play of newspaper life. Its hero, Wheel
er Brand, an editor out for reform, gets
the scent Of crOokedness on the part Of
a judge on the United States bench, and
. having marked his victim, pursues him
\over every obstacle that money and in
Ruence can place in his way and finally
brings him to earth. But in his pur-
suit young Brand collides with the fam
iy Of the man who owns the paper This
family-son, daughter, and mother
has social aspirations, and the judges
family is the stepping stone to the
elysian fields Of the elite. Young Brand
IN the midst Of his fight, is called on"
In addition to this there is the harassing
fact that the girl whom Brand hopes to
make his wife is the daughter of the
man he must fight with resistless force,
for the good Of the people. The whole
story is one Of intense feeling and un-
uaBBlng interest
The Climacteric scene of the drama
takes place in the composing room Of the
newspaper at the very hour when the
paper is going to press with the big
story which will destroy the power of
the evil politicians. Here the gigantic
linotype machines are seen at work,
and there is the hum and buzz of ma
chinery mingled with the scurrying OF
many feet, the shifting Of Forms and
the rumbling Of trucks carrying their
p6ges 10 the stereotype room, and
thence into the press room, where soon
the whirr of the big cylinders is TO be
heard as the papers are run of and borne
out by newsboys and delivered to the
audience as it files out of the theater.
II is a graphic picture and one which
nightly created wild enthusiasm during
the long run Of the piece at WaIlack's
Theater, New York. All the machinery
Of the original production will be brought
10 Washington and as only skilled oper-
ators can manipulate these complicated
typesetting machines, union printers will
be called into service every night, so
that realism will be carried to the point
Of perfection.
The Fourth Estate is the Joint work
OF Joseph Medin Patterson, author of
The Little Brother of the Rich" and
Harriet Ford. Mr.. Patterson gets his
knowledge Of the newspaper game first
hand. for he has been one Of the editors
and owners Of the Chicago Tribune.

 The new classification has been three years in the course of preparation. and the state railroad commissions. after A. cursory examination. find that it advances rates on over 400 commodities and in- creases rates on carload shipments in 300 instances
 While an examination shows that there are decreases made on over 300 different rated articles that these decreases are naturalized by. the increases in the min imum of carload wigflts. The classification consists of 151 pages of tariff as against 70 pages of the old classification No. ss that the new one Is to displace
 As the new classification reouired tbres years in preparation, and Is looked upon as one of the most extensive and sweeping elassif1cations of the kind, the view that the railroad commission takes is that he cause of its magnitude and in1portanca that the interstate commission should in justice to the states and the shippers thereof give time for inquiry into the meaning and full effect of the new tariff views or the state railroad commission were today forwarded to Wasbjnpton i,, q telegram.

Change in California

Sacramento, June 6.-Secretary of State Jordan has recalled his figures on the primary election returns for the Fourth congressional district which purported to show that the Taft delegates had been elected over the Roosevelt delegates.
 His action was based upon certified statement from the San Francisco county registrar showing that the dividing line between the Fourth and Fifth districts was so irregulariy drawn as to divide voting precincts. No positive figures, therefore. on the vote by these two con gressional districts can be given as there is no method of showing which Were Roosevelt delegate votes and which Taft delegate votes.
