ADJUSTMENTS
"A Single Man

John Drew assisted by an unusually well balanced company, appeared at the Jefferson theatre last night in "A Sin gle Man." a comedy of English life, by Hubert Henry Davies. MT Drew, as a literary bachelor. who makes up his mind in his mature years to mar with opportunities had a most con genial role His abilities as comedian had free play and he gave his usual finished performance, combining his ac- customed ease of manner with the delft touches of true artist, who is at home in the part he plays.
 The play is in four acts. Perhaps it would be more acceptable if condensed to three acts, as there are times now and then when the comedy seems rath- CT long drawn out. However, even if Single Man. may safely be put down as one of the seasons most entertain ing comedies and one that was pre- scented in most delightful style, both by the star and the members of his supporting company. MT Drew was quite at his best as Robin Worthing- ton. who is for the moment bewitched by the youthful charms of debutante sort of person, but in the nick of time loves is his faithful secretary, whom the kind playwright has made a truly stunning creature. particularly when she gets dressed up to go to a party.
 In the act where Worthington anu his typist reach an understanding ot each other, both Mir Drew and Miss
 Roland are called upon to put forth their best efforts and the capital style | in which they acquitted themselves left | nothing to be desired, either in this
 act or In the act following when they dine together in a confidential vein. | Miss Mary Roland presented the typ lst with a great deal of womanly charm and quiet self-repression. It was easy to see from the start that the typist inst the field would Twin in can ter" She was entirely too irresistible and the only wonder was that the lt- | crary bachelor could have her around for five years without wishing to reach ou5 and appropriate. Miss Bosnds beau ty is a valuable asset but her sue cess is not dependent by any means on her pleasing exterior.
 Ivan Simpson as Henry worthington a decided stick, presented that person with an astonishing assumption of stu pidity and vacuity. Carroll McComas as
 a very young person who temporarily
 upsets the literary bacnelor, was viva
 cious and pretty, with all the arts of
 the ingenue. Louise Drew portrayed
 Isabella Warrington in a way that
 would not shame family distinguished
 in stage annals, while Eva Condon as
 Louise Parker, very much on the trail
 of the bachelor, played a thankless part with marked ability.

 tremely cordial

Jackson, Miss. March 13.--The Mis- sissippi senate today heard Senator Le- roy Percy's negative answer to the de- mands of the senate that he resign.
 The senate then adopted a resolu tion, as a report of the committee on rules, to whom the reply of Senator Percy was submitted, reciting that acting for and in behalf of the peo- pie of Mississippi and carrying out their manifest desire as expressed at the polls," recently adopted d resolu ton respectfully calling the attention of the United States senator, Leroy Percy, to his oft repeated promise to resign in the event of his defeat in the senatorial primary
 The senatorial campaign of last sum mer, 1t is asserted, was fought on the issue as to whether the voters of the state approved or repudiated the se- lection of Mr. Percy by the last legis- lature to complete the uneXpired term of the late United States Senator Mo Lauren and calls attention to the fact that Senator Percy was defeated by a large majority by former Gov. James K. Vardaman
 Continuing, the resolution avows that Senator Percy, in his reply, has seen fit to offer gross and gratuitous insult to the legislatures majority of said legislature, both senators and repre- sentatives being elected al the close of the campaign, and in the same pri- mary in which he himself was so em- phatically condemned and repudiated, thus making his vituperative language addressed to the legislature, applicable also to the people of the state he so

The luncheon method of presenting the iintents and merits of a movement proved most successful yesterday in the instance of the business mems dinner given in the Indian room of the Florence hotel in honor of George A. Bellamy' playground exponent and representative of the National Playground and Recrea- tion association. Promoted by the CIVIC improvement committee of the Chamber of Commerce and a triumph of cuisine, the affair was a thoroughly enjoyable gathering as well as an opportunity for hearing an authoritative exploitation of the playground movement.
 V. H. Hanson, chairman of the CIVIC improvement committee of the Chamber of Commerce, which has combined some effective work to insure the welfare ol the luncheon, presided over the occasion and introduced the speaker.
 As a. response to the enthusiastic talk made by Mr. Bellamy, motion was pro- posed and carried that President John W. Sibley appoint a committee from the Chamber of Commerce to go into the question of playgrounds for this city and report it's findings.
 Tie plans advanced for the promotion of the playground spirit in this city We're in effect and identical to those set forth by Mir. Beflamy during the address made bv him in the Chamber of Commerce auditorium on the night previous. This was, in short, the urging of the organi- zation of southern committee that would be in direct utilization with the national body and would maintain a field secretary. The playground objeetives and municipal benefits were concisely and terseIy told by Mir. Bellamy and his aud itors. numbering nearly fifty of the rep 'resentatlve business men and sociological students of the city, manifested a keen

AST PASSENGER
 GOES INTO RIVER Twentieth Century Limited
 Is Derailed NO ONE IS KILLED Three Cars Go Into River But Are Checked By Ice, Which
 Prevents Much Worse
 Disaster

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, March 13.-Runnng 60 miles an hour and rounding curve close by the banks of the Hudson, the first section of the New York Central's Twentieth Century Limited struck brok- en rail and four cars plunged into the ice covered river near here this morning. Thirteen persons were injured. several seriously, but none, it is believed, mortal ly. sums up tonight the casualties.
 The thick ice coating acted as a check to the cars and kept them from sliding into deep water and probably prevented far worse disaster. Had the river been free of ice, many persons probably would have been drowned. Water entered Some of the sleepers to the depth of the lower berths and gave many of the passengers an icy bath. All the passengers in the cars in the river were rescued without great difficulty. Planks were run out to the carwindows and passengers made their way to shore over these improvIsed bridges.
 The train was running in two sections. The second section was but ten minutes behind the first and the wreck of the first had set dangerous trap for it. Frank Lee, conductor of the wrecked train saved second possible disaster. He was in the rear of the observation car when the wreck occurred, and was pinned ul1- derneath some seats. His head was badly cut and he was otherwise bruised but he managed to extricate himself and bleed ig as he was from his injuries, ran back md Tagged the second division.
 Many of the passengers related thrilling stories.
 There were about 50 passengers lon the train. and according to those at the scene, nearly two score of them were pulled out of the water. logged cars.
