FIELD HANGS OUT S. R. @.
Minstrels Draw Biggest Crowd Of
the Season.

For the first time this season the IS.
r. O." sign was hung out at the Grand
Opera House last night. twas the AL.
G. Fields minstrels that did it. They
stood them up TO the limit allowed by
the city ordinances and then turned
them away. And you can imagine the
Fields minstrels playing to house like
that. It was one long riot Of JOY, Bert
Swor being chief inciter at inciting peo-
pie to forget their company manners
and blurt right out into hearty laughter
like an ordinary human. Bert is q
regular anarchist. He could be arrested
for disturbing the peace Of the neigh
borhood, for the noise he causes, and
with such house before him he was
right on the job last night
It's big, spectacular show that AL.
Field has this year. The scenic, cos
tuning and electric effects are magnif-
cent; the singing corps OF the company
is unusually strong, and the funsmiths,
headed by Bert Swor, just cut up some
thing scandalous. In addition to its
bigness, the theme OF the show is timely.
No less an event than the opening Of
the Panama Canal furnishes the mate
rial and tOld Glory" is waved with an
effectiveness that makes George M.
Cohan look like bush Lacquer. Fun
and melody, some mighty good dancing
and blare Of trumpets from about the
best minstrel band on the road all COM
bine to make q show worthy Of this set
ting. The big crowd that saw it all last
night responded nobly and gave it the
kind Of reception that was coming to it.

New Zealand is the wonderland OF the
South Seas. 1t is the land Of romance,
poetry and sentiment 1t amazes the
visitor with its wealth OF natural Curl
osities and the endless variety and
grandeur Of its scenery. II is the home
Of the Maori, the highest type Of savage
life inhabiting the islands Of the Pacific;
a people who have been wonderfully
quick to forsake their aboriginal Gus
toms and superstitions and fit thenn-
selves for the highest walks Of civilized
life. The Rawei family are native
Maoris, and are handsome specimens
OF their race In their public exhibit
tions they wear the queer but pictur-
esque costumes Of the native islander.
Mr.. Rawei himself was born in the wilds
Of Northern Zealand. among the most
savage people, was adopted by an Eng
lish lady of wealth when about twelve
years old, given thorough education,
and enabled 10 graduate with high
honors and the degree OF Master OF
Arts from Christ Church University.
The presentation OF From Savagery
to Culture" is so cleverly and artist
|cally done and ia so full Of the interest
oil novelty and wonder. thatit compeIs
the utmost enthusiasm 1t is capti-
waiting to the last degree, full Of delight
ful surprises that follow one another in
bewldering procession, charming the
eye and ear, provoking outbursts Of
laughter, melting to tears, enlisting thes
sympathies completely. You are held
under spell Of fascination by the
weird ballads, the love songs, the canoe
choruses. the war chants and incanta-
tions, the quaint descriptions OF the
native customs and the numerous beau-
tiful pictures OF the marvellous island
scenery.
Mr.. Rawei, whose English is remark
ably correct, has an unusual charm of
style, and possesses such a fund Of
humorous and pathetic anecdotes that
when his audience is not holding its
breath with excited interest, it is gener-
ally in roar Of laughter or bathed in
silent tears. His wife, Hine Taimoa,
has rich contralto voice and knows
how to use it. In fact, all these natives
are accomplished singers. The blend
ing Of the voices 10 the minor ballads
and chants is one Of the most touching
and pleasing items Of the entertainment.

FLAMES Shooting Up from the Crater
for the First Time Since 1D06.

Naples, June 28.-Fcr the first
time since 1906 flames were observed
to-day shooting up from Mount We
suvius. Three slight earthquakes
occurred prior to this, and the upper
most crater of Vesuvius emitted a
dense column OF smoke, which fre-
quently showed strong reflections of
flames lower down, with an eruption
of fire.
Prof. Mercalli, director of the OBJ
servatory, reports that the lava
streams recently observed are becom-
ing continuous. He expressed the
opinion tonight that tho seismic
movement on Mount Vesuvius had
no connection with the earthquake in
the Caiabria district and that 1T was
due to the recent heavy rains filter

CARNEGIE TALKS ON CURRENCY.
Says Country Needs Revision OF Sys-
tenn, and Favores 1t.

Iermatt, Switzerland, July L.
Andrew Carnegie is keenly interested
in the fate OF the American banking
reform bill as presented to Congress
by direction OF president Wilson.
This Is the most important and
most necessary legislation on which
America has had to decide for
years" he said. THE present Amer
lean currency system is disgrace to
the country. 4
1t Is not true that bankers and
leading business men are opposed to
the measure. This is nonsense The
best bankers and business men are
for the reform.
The Aldrich plan is all right, and
SO long as the principle thereof is
maintained ! do not care about the
details. If opposition should develop,
my advice to President Wilson is to
stand firm.
When a panic starts other coun-
tries and governments possess the
power to step in and act Some spec
ulators fail. 1t is true, but it is good
thing that they should do so.
1T Is ridiculous to say that the
1h'iS'iSah HAS nOC the
same power that the British, French
and German governments have.
My position Is this: If 1T is a,
question whether private bankers or
the President, acting for the Ameri-
can people, shall come to the rescue
during panic, am for the Presi-
dent taking action" r
DO you expect new era of PROS
perity when the bill has been pass
ed?" Mr.. Carnegie was asked.
America will always be prosper
ous," Mr.. Carnegie replied. ANY
one who bets against a republic will
go broke. The bill will bring about
greater stability and confidence in
business generally"
Mr.. Carnegie yesterday morning
ascended the Gornergrat railway J0,-
600 feet to see the marvellous pano-
rama of the Monte Rosa Matterhorn.
ut was showing hard when we
started" Mr.. Carnegie said, sbu just

business resulting from changes in
tariff rates.
While the president anticipates
but little difficulty in the prompt
movement of the tariff measures
through the house, he is somewhat
solfcItous over the situation in the
senate, where the Democratic major
1ty is small. A preliminary canvass
IN the senate has developed the fact
that many Democrats of that body will
FAVOR more radical cuts in some of
the tariff duties than they did in the
last congress. The extent to which the
house bills will receive united Demo-
cratic support is not yet certain, how
ever.
The early acquisition of Democratic
senators from New Hampshire and
Illinois, where deadlocks are in prog
reSS, is being counted upon by the
president. The president and his close
friends in the senate are confident,
too, that If progressive legislation is
drafted, progressive Republican as
sistance can be secured.
When conferences with COMPRESSION
al leaders begin at the White House
this week it is anticipated that the
advice of number of progressive Re
publicans win be sought. The presi-
dent expects to devote almost the en-
tire week to the discussion of legisla-
ton and policy so that he may COM
plete his special message in harmony
with the prevailing sentiment.

Our present system has been in

The Hub besides it's gifts has a. pen
sion fund and sick benefits. Lytton
was emphatic in stating the Hub could
we'll afford to pay q minimum of 81
a day. He said all big corporations
could do so.
Witness pointed out as did Simp-
son at a previous session, that an in
crease of the minimum wage means
an increase all along the line. The
girls already getting $12 must be ad-
vanced to SIS; the SIS girl to $40 and
SO on. Employees must be paid ac-
cording to their comparative ability.
JUL suggested that the employees
should hold a mass meeting and agree
on a fair compensation themselves.
Witness thought it a good idea.

Joseph BasCh, second vice president
of Siegel, Cooper & Company, who was
the next witness, said that wages and
immortality have no relation.
Il believe that immortality is q state
of mind. 1 believe our girls are NOR
tai. / think very small percentage of
them could be persuaded to take the
ploy 1850 girls, about half of whom
earn IS or more, Basch did not view
the wage system with any alarm.
Promotion is very rapid in the
State street stores,'' he remarked.
THE woman who comes to us this
year at Sc, for instance. in two years
very readily may be earning SIS a
week. The low salaries go to learners
and development is rapid"
BaSch became greatly interested in
the subject. He would not hire a girl
under 16 years old, he said.
She should be in school," he de-
c1areG.
A minimum wage scale, he said, is
a national question. Asked if Siegel
Cooper 6, Co. could pay a minimum
wage scale of S12. Basch said that
they could for skilled services, but not
for unskilled.
But could not you make that the
minimum without materially weaken
ing dividends?''
This question was not answered.

himself, asked how many of the great

today the celebration of the centenary
of the rising against Emperor Napo-
leon which eliminated in the battle of
Ieipsic in October, 1913. In this bat
tie the combined Prussian, Russian,

Napoleon's troops with great loss and
opened the way for liberation of Ger

Today also was the centenary of the
establishment of the Iron Cross, a
decoration given to German soldiers
for acts of courage on the field of
battle. In spite of a drizzIing rain,
enormous crowds gathered to cheer
the emperor as he placed wreaths on
a number of Berlin statues, including
those of King William and Queen
Louise.
The emperor later in the day at
tended a service at the cathedral and
reviewed a parade of the Berlin gar
