NORTHWEST OPPOSES
COLORED MIGRATION
BIoomingdaIe and Reservoir
Heights Residents Plan t o
Fight immigration.

Positive and definite action will be
taken by the citizens Of Bloomingdale
and Reservoir Heights to prevent the
acquisition by colored persons OF prop
erty In that locahty.- Following the pas
sage Of resolution last night by the
North Washington Citizens Associa-
ton Of that section, the executive COM
mitfee was authorized to take whatever
terms Of the resolution.
At the next meeting of the associa-
ton the executive committee will pre-
sent a report covering the results OF an
Investigation to be made Immediately
to see what can be done to prevent the
coming of colored residents into that
section. -.
The resolution. which is dramatic in
it's terms. was introduced by F. C. Run
head and seconded by NJ j. Matthews.
Brief speeches by members tended to
show that the coming Of colored fam
lilies into the section had decreased the
price of property. Mr.. Matthews, de-
clared that he had been driven from
Columbia Heights By colored persons.
and that the movement of the race into
the Bloomingdale and Reservoir Heights
section had already begun and with ap-
parently bad results to the value Of
property.
William Nick. Clayton was indorsed
by the association for one Of the two
District Commiseionerships A request
was sent to the District Commissioners
asking them to estimate the cost Of
streets northwest. The committee on
fire and police departments was author
lied to Investigate the situation In the
Police Department.
In discussion of the resolution II was
declared that the opposition to the col
ored persons was not one Of race. but
Of economic consideration. The resolu-
ton declares that I'VE. individually and
collectively, agree that We will not sell
or rent our homes or other property to
colored persons - and that we
will not buy or rent from or have any
other avoidable business dealings with
any real estate agent or any other per-
son placing or endeavorfng to place COL
ored people in this neighborhood.'

"THE BRIGANDS."

The Columbia University Players gave
THE Brigands.'' an operetta in three
acts by Jauues Offenbach, at the Be-
lasco Theater yesterday afternoon.
Many professional productions have
played to audiences of far less generous
proportions, and ones with much less
enthusiasm. AS far the score goes
there is not much to be gained concern-
ing the plot, but a throng of very fierce
looking and loudly dressed brigands and
few women with strangely determined
chins left one in no doubt about the
movement OF the piece.
w. d. Spalthoff, as Falsacappa, the
chief of the brigands. was a fearsome
sight, and had a voice both deep and
raucous. A. l.. Crane made a rarely
beautiful princess. and his duets with
the hero. Frageoletto, played by Al
Graham, were good, due greatly to the
excellent voice of the latter. however.
The operetta was given for the bene-
fit Of the Homeopathic Hospital, and
reaped generous harvest for that in
stitution.

MANTELL SCORES IN
HISTORICAL DRAMA
Opens Week of Repertoire With
DeIaVigne's Louis xI" Be-
fore Large Audience.

| Robert B. MantelI, Shakcspearean
and classical actor. received the heart
lest greeting of his career as far as
played last night before a large house
at the Belasco Theatcr.
Louis XI," Delavignes historical
drama, was the play in which Mr..
Mantell scored his success. His depic-
ton Of the scheming, unscrupulous.
crafty Louis XI, was not that of lrv-
ing. Yet il was remarkably well done.
Mantelrs Louis emphasizes the de-
crepitude and ugliness of the old
French King, whereas Irving's Louis
was stronger on the psychological ele-
ment OF hypocrisy, cruelty, and desen-
eracy. Mantel, while bringing out
these elements. was inclined to play
less emphaticaIly these characteristics.
His picture of the tottering old king,
double dealing. cruel, hypocritical, un-
relenting, was well taken. 1t would be
difficult to make human being more
ugly than MantelPs Louis, yet withal
the acting was such as save the char
acter from utter responsiveness. Man
tells art lent an interest, il not at
tractiyeness, to this strange combina-
tion of humanity's baser side.
Realistic Death Scene.
The realism of the death scene In
the last act is SO remarkably strong
as to be grewsome. Mantell does not
spare his audience. Every detail of
the death of the heartless old king.
from his unrelenting words to the death
rattle In the throat, Is brought out with
an intensity that is perhaps too keen
Mantell bears the burden of practi-
porting cast is not overstrong, yet for
the purposes of Louis xI it is effective.
Fritz Leiber. as the Duke de Ne
mours. enemy Of Louis XI, shares
honors with Mantell. He is strong.
VII yie and an ardent OF OF
the duke was finished, with the ex-
ception of a very few places. Miss
Genevieve Hamper was a charming,
fascinating Marie, but her dramatic
ability Is not entirely suited to such
q part 1t lacked strength Of character:
although the part required more OF
beauty than dramatic art.

Roias Is Branded as
Betrayer Of Country

Luis Manuel Rojas is branded by
Mexican papers as betrayer Of his
country. This attack results from his
charges that Ambassador Wilson was
too politically active against the Ma
deros and too closely allied with the
Huerta-Diaz regime. The papers also
accuse Rojas of trying to STIR up trou-
Bile with the United States.
Rojas. however, claims he is only
trying to bring out the truth when he
charges Ambassador Wilson with fall
ure to avail himself of the opportunity
to save Madero and Suarez.
Huerta says that Ambassador Wilson
had nothing to do with the deaths of
Madero and Suarez.
They lost their lives through the
foolish action Of their partisans," said
Huerta, .'as the government will prove
in few days"

NATIONAL OFFERING
IS HIGH CLASS SHOW
"Count of Luxembourg" Has
Clever Star in Actress
With ContraIto Voice.

Rarely does it fall to the lot of a
theatergoing populace this far from
Broadway so late in the season an op-
portunity to witness such a clever little
opera of the lighter variety as that
presented at the New National last
night when the Parisian-St. Petersburg
romance. THE Count of Luxembourg" 4"

Ann Swinburne, about whom New
York has raved for so long, and who
was preceded to Washington by
reputation which all thought she would
find it extremely difficult, even if possi-
ble to live up to, is all that she has
been heralded. She is even more.
There has never been at the New Ma

cerned. such a lithesome miss, with

She is supported by a company of
singers, which for appearance and
voices is second to none seen here in
More, whose tenor blends so artisti-
cally with the rich soprano of Miss
Swinburne, and who seems to have
been made especially for the part
which he carries throughout the two
acts. to support her, it is but little
wonder that an IL o'clock audience
poured from the theater last night,
scarcely believing the time had sped
so rapidly.
Good Comedians in Play.
Frank Moulan, as Grand Duke Rut-
zinov. and Fred Walton, as Brissard,
the Bohemian dentist who would be
an artist, carry the comedians parts
