PHILIPPINE QUESTIONS
 OF TAFT ANSWERED

Washington, Nov. 22-Senator GiI- bert M. Hitchcock, of Nebraska, chair man of the Senate Philippines Com mittee, in an interview last night an swered the criticisms of the Demo- cratic administration of the Philippine Islands contained in a speech by Will liam H. Taft in New York last We'd nesday.
 Mr. Taft said that Francis Burton Harrison, governor general of the islands, made 8 great mistake in giv- ing a majority representation on the commission to the Filipinos, and de- clared that the natives would not be ready for self -govefhment for several generations.
 Anything which MT. Taft says on the Philippine question should be listened to with great respect" said Senator Hitchcock, Ion account of his long acquaintance with conditions there. If we Democrats are making a mistake, however, it seems to me it will soon be found out, and we can change the organization of the com mission.
 "I think it is a good thing to give the FiIipinos a, trial of this sort I understand that F1ilipinos have been in the majority in the Supreme Court of the islands for some time, and the experiment has been satisfactory

SISTER IFS ATTORNEY
 FOR OPIUM SUSPECT

New York, Nov. 22-Custom House inspectors made a raid on the sani- tarium of Dr. Herman SeidIer, in East Twenty-second street yesterday. They arrested pr. Seid1er on a charge of manufacturing and disposing of snok- ing opium, and conf1scated a quantity of drug, together with forty opium pipes. Dr. Seidler was released on $2,5o0 bail by John A. Shields, United States Commissioner.
 When the physician was arraigned he was on the point of collapse. He started to speak, when a handsome young woman ran into the room.
 Shut up!'' she cried to the prison CT, and turning to Commissioner Shields, she added
 He pleads not guilty; I am his sis ter and his attorney
 It was Miss Jennie SeidIer, who is a practicing lawyer, and she added that bondsmen were already on the way to court. Her brother started to speak several times, but he was al- ways siIenced by his sister.
 'I don't manufacture opium or sell it," said the prisoner finally, ''but want to go to jail, because use it and I want to get away from the drug'
 Be still," his sister counselled him; you are not guilty; be quiet and I will conduct this case"

EMPIRE

MT. Dawley, director of Famous Players productions, is a keen plotter of detective stories. He has the faculty of conceaIing until such time as he sees fit to disclose the identity of the criminal there be, or, as in the case of An Hour Before Dawn" :" which is shown at this theater today, there is no criminal and the death over which the police have been so much concerned was due to accidental causes.
 In 'tAn Hour Before Dawn a scien- tist engaged in experiments on an ex- plosive ray is found dead. The prev ious evening his son and heir had quarre1ed with him about actress In the house there is found a pistol with one unexp1oded cartridge, but with the bullet missing. The death is caused by 8 missile of the same cali bre. Here is the first real clue.
 The story which is in three reels is cleverly constructed and holds the at tention closely. The settings are ela- borate. One of the best is the ob- servatory and laboratory of the scien- tist containing the great telescope. The views of the heavens thrown on the screen are from actual photo graphs taken by one of the country s foremost astronomers. The engine of destruction on which the professor was working is an elaborate contriv- ance.
 "An Hour Before Dawn is an ex- ceptional1y good picture and will be thoroughly enjoyed by all. Other good pictures complete the program.

 Harry Anson had fully served the purpose of the triumphant Tom Lam- bert, and he now found Harry only an obstacle in the path he planned to tread wfth-another.

Brady's playhouse, where they reap peared for one final week before clos ing the eventful Broadway career of Bought and Paid For" It Is esti- mated that nearly 500, 900 persons saw the play during it's New York life.
 The play presents a number of 5n- teresting problems, which have been summarized by a number of dramatic critics. as follows:
 Is it possible to have happy union between g. man of wealth and luxury and a telephone girl who is getting but S1O a week?
 What redress has a woman if her husband is a drunkard?
 Is a woman who marries for money any better than of woman of the streets
 Does the law give a husband any moral right to kiss his wife when ever he wishes to?
 Can a woman live with man who drinks and retain her seIf-respect?
 Is it necessary to domestic happi- ness to have a head of the family?'
 Are legal rights stronger than moral rights?
 Has a woman the right to leave ter husband under any circumstances, If.
