At the urgent request Of Attorney Gen.

Police Court concurrent jurisdiction with
the District Supreme Court in cases OF
ARRAYS. disorderly house and threats.
For several years 1t was thought that
the Police Court did have Jurisdiction
over such offienses, and many convictions
were had in that court for those onrenses.
1t has been held recently by the upper
courts. however, that the Police Court lis

The effect of this decision has been to
delay action on such minor cases. be-
cause Of the rush Of business in the

that, in the interest Of prompt justice.

Macbeth" Last Night.

A virile, impassi0ned Macbeth, whose
resolution faltered only In the face OF
murder and whose conscience was proof
against all save superstition, was revealed
by E. H. Sothern at the Belasco Theater
last night. A Lady Macbeth whose voice
was music and whose nerve was steel
stepped forth from the personality OF
Miss Marlowe, for tho time q living real
ity. The greatest players are not always
at their best. A manifestation involving
temperament Is bound to vary as it takes
place under more or less inspiring condi-
tons. The purely analytical or descrip-
tive play may be rehearsed to q fineness
that will duplicate results with accuracy
night after night and year after year, but
drama involving human emotions so in
tense that the player may not hope to
reflect them without to some degree ex-
periencing them may not be reproduced
mechanically. The conditions for last
nights performance were as favorable as
the audience could make them. An i'm
mense attendance, eager to appreciate and
enjoy, invited the best endeavors of which
the entire cast was capable. The scenic
display was in accordance with the stand
ards set by this organization, and the
supporting company brought forward the
beauties of speeches which are too often
delivered in a manner that binders the
performance instead of helping 1t. Fred
erick Lewis succeeded in placing the role
of Macduff on the high plane Of artistic
importance that naturally belongs to 1t.

Frank Norris Jones' Recital.

Frank Norris Jones. the young Wash
ington pianist, who has been studying
abroad and incidentally winning warm
commentator as an artist, aroused his
friends to a high pitch of enthusiasm
at his recital given at the Columbia
Theater yesterday afternoon. While it
was expected, as a matter of course, that
his further study would improve his
artistry. his friends were evidently not
prepared for the rapid development
shown in his playing of difficult and
dainty classical selections, and showered
their approval upon it with the heart
lest applause throughout

each of which served to show fine
technique, delicacy of shading and SYM
pathetic feeling. His Chopin numbers,
including the Prelude, op. 45; Etude, op.
~, No. 8; the Berceuse, op. ST. and the
Polonaise. op. SO. were well rendered,
the Berceuse and the Polonaise being ex-
ceptionally good. To the last named an
encore was vigorously called for, and Mr..
Jones responded with the Chopin etude,

and Rhapsodie Hongroise, No. 6, best
served, perhaps, to disclose Mr.. Jones'
claim to virt1osity. while the encore
number following the Rhapsodie, the Nc
Dowell Etude, was brilliantly rendered,
and by many was considered the feature
of the program.

The Lincoln Memorial.
To the Editor Of The Star:

10 the Eu1tOf OF Inc StdT.
As an interested listener lately in the
House of Representatives I heard two
brilliant speeches on the Lincoln me-
mortal, one advocating q school of util-
tiles, and the other an imposing high
way uniting Washington with Gettys-
burg. Each plan is good in its way
but not as memorial to Lincoln. A
Lincoln memorial should demonstrate to
the people something Of the character
Of Lincoln, something that the instant
sight of would awaken in all persons
sentiments of a serious and noble nature,
something to make us worship at the
shrine Of the generous and invinctbly
virtuous. 1t should not be practical nor
should it be useful, for these are Sec
ondary things when it comes to the
forming of character, which should be
subject to the good, the true and the
beautiful. 1t should strike unerringly
to the heart and demonstrate that great
humble and gentle character. Though
silent. it should speak the language Of
art. (which, though dumb. abounds In
words Should we build a school to
