Is CLERGYMAN'S SON

Henry Louis Reginald De Koven,
the composer. who is celebrating his
birthday today, is another distinguish
ed man who has attained to fame and
fortune in spite of the supposed handi-
cap of being a clergyman's son. Just

Grover Cleveland, Gov Harmon. Col.
Robert G. Ingersoll and host Of 9TH
ers that might be named, all had min
listers for paternal ancestors.
Mr.. De Koven is fifty-one today,
having been born in Middletown,
Conn, April 3, 1861. Some biograph1-
cal works make the famous composer
two years older, but Mr.. De Koven
insists that he is only ffty-one, and
he ought to know. His father was the
Rev. DR.. Henry De Koven, a leading
clergyman Of the Episcopalian faith.
It was while he was student in
st. Johns College, Oxford, England,
that Mr.. De Koven composed his first
song, Marjorie Daw." His first OPP
cratic composition, 'Cupid, Hymen &
Co.." failed to appeal to the theatre
line, 1.-THE Begun, completed in 1887,
met with approval, and had a sue
cessful run in New York. Much en-
couraged Mr.. De Koven went abroad
to have his musical education polish
ed off, At Stuttgart. Germany, he was
a pupil of Speidl Lebert and Pruchner
Later he took up the study of har-
mony under DR.. Huff, of Frankfort
While a pupil Of Richard Gence in
Vienna, in 1889. he composed his third
opera, Don Quixote.'' In the follow
ing year robin Hood was put on the
stage, and made a great hit.

ian,' 1.-THE Man in the Mooa,'' From
Broadway to Toxic, "The Snow Man.
and "Happyland" in which De Wolf
Hopper starred for three seasons.
In 1884 Mr.. De Koven married An
ma Farwcll, a daughter or the late

1.-THE Wedding Trip was recently the
subject of q suit filed in the courts
by the composer against Lee Shubert.
1.-THE Wedding Trip" had it's prem

duced in Albany, Schenectady, Bos-
ton, Providence and Phlla delphia. Mr..
De Koven alleges, in his damage suit.
that under a contract with Mr.. Shu-
bert the opera should have appeared
at the Lyric theatre before Nov. l
last, and that this was not done. The
fling of the suit caused a great deal
of comment in musical and dramatic
circles. as the composer and the Shu-
berts have been closely associated for
years.

intention was to make the shippers
pay the interest and dividends, but
the shippers, long patient, rebelled.
The profits on freight are enor-
nous. They enable the payment Of
fair wages, and fair wages should be
paid.
If necessary, cut dividends and in
terest Lies about capitalization are
not entitled to profits. This is the
law. If railroads obey the law they
will have no difficulty in paying wa
ges just to their employees.

It Is entirely unnecessary to suggest
that hereafter Americans must not

FIRST TRADE UNION

The first trade union in the United
States was incorporated In New York
100 years ago today. It was the
Society of Journeymen Shipwrights,
and had a considerable membership
in the metropolis. Three years later,
in 1906, the House Carpenters of New
York former a union. The organized
labor movement gained little further
ground until 1917, when the printers
of New York organized the New York
Typographical Society. It was not
until 1925 that unions extending be-
yond the bounds of single city were
organized. From that time on, with
the extension Of the factory system.
labor societies constantly Increased in
membership and influence. The In
ternational Typographical Union,
which dates back to 1850, Is the old
est existing American trades union.
The first union Of the unions" was
projected in 1869, when the Knights
OF Labor was organized, although
previously. in Baltimore in 1856, the
Baltimore and New York labor bod
les had held a meeting to form q
national federation. It was in tho
latter convention that plans were
made that after many years develop
ed into the present powerful Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor, which has
superseded the once influential
Knights Of Labor. The federation is
now composed Of 115 national and in
ternational unions, with about $1,000
local unions, and total Of 100000
members. Besides the organizations
affiliated with the federation. there
are several great railroad unions, and
a Socialistic federation known as the
Industrial Workers of the World.

The news received by this newspa-
per from Redding indicates similar
unrest there and reports of dissat-

scarcely possible that so much smoke
can exist without much fire. The
usefulness of Commissioner MacDon-
aid appears to be at an end. His
resignation would be gratefully re-
ceived.

DOLORES GETS
BIG APPLAUSE
Drama at Biiou Theatre Is
Well Presented.

Dolores" a drama of strong ac-
ton, bold. well defined plot, alb
sorbing interest, deeply pathetic yet
permeated with agreeable humor;
had its opening at the Bijou thea
ire Monday night. The action OF
the play is located partly IN New
Mexico and partly in Washington,
D. c. The story of p young girl
brought up in the unconventional
circles of New Mexico by two old
ranchmen Of widely different natures
who have been designated her guar
dams.
She leaves the ranch to learn
more Of the world at the national
capital, but is haunted by a crime
she thinks she has committed on
the ranch while defending herself
from a heartless fellow, the brother
of a captain in the army, who IS
killed by a Mexican who is also mad
" in love with Dolores, and shadows
her life at the capital. Her two
guardians decide to visit her at
Washington and make a ludicrous
scene in their attempt to enter So
ciety.
The return Of all to Now Mexico
establishes the innocence OF Dolores
and disco .ers the real culprit in the
Mexican through an old half breed
woman who has been an eye witness
of the tragedy, Of which Dolores be-
lives herself guilty. 1t is a play
Astounding in life, without a dull
moment from the rise to the fall OF
the curtain in the last act.
1t is well staged and special seem
cry in the first and last acts is very
effective The work of every mem
Der Of the stock company is highly
c~reditable, especially the characters
Of the guardians of Dolores, "Gabe
Husks" and "Shep Shangles,' tax
en- respectively by Mr.. Waters and
Mr.. Campbell. Miss Halter IS the
piquant and pretty Dolores, Mr.. Pet
ii the romantic hero and Mr.. La
Sale the v|illianous william.
Miss Davy, in the third act, wears a
5000 French gown and does some
clever work. Miss Harcourt also
appears in a stunning costume and
displays marked ability in handling
two widely different characters
the old half breed and a society wo-
man, while Mr.. Conroy gets plenty
of humor out Of "Willie', the sup
posed invalid.
