OFFICER
MUST BE OPTOMlST
Must Have Faith in ImprOvability of
Those i'm His Charge Says
Speaker.

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 16.-"To be
success, a probation officer must be-
lieve enthusiastically in the imprOv-
ability of those who are committed to
his charge" declared Hastings II.
Hart, director of the child helping de-
partment of the Russell Sage fOunda-
ton at Wednesday nights meeting of
the American Prison association.
1T is utterly impossible for a pessi-
mistic TO get ahead in this work.
With his faith he must also have
patience and must be devoted heart
and soul to the work"
Mr.. Hart said that when the pro-
baton system was in its infancy the
impression prevailed that anyone
could be a probation officer, and that
whoever would volunteer to do the
work would get the position.
THE Importance and responsibility
of the work." continued Mr.. Hart,
has increased until now it can hardly
be overestimated. 1t is second only
to the judges OF the Juvenile, dOmes-
tic relations and those criminal courts
which have the power of probation"

variety of comedy acts that look
promising. Princeton and Yale is the
title chosen by two clever performers

of 900 Miles From New York. Miss
Yale looks decidedly attractive.

demned in a resolution adopted Tues

In presenting the resolution re-
garding the Kiev trial the Rev. Dr.
William II. Manning, rector Of Trinity

Jews in this city are deeply moved
by this matter. Jewish brethren
have asked me TO bring before this
convention protest, voicing the
sentiments contained IN a petition
signed in England by the Archbishop
OF Canterbury and by many bishops,
clergy and laymen Of the church"
The resolution said
I'VE call upon the archbish ops.
bishops and other members of the

that charges Of sO-called ritual muir
ders' are without foundation or justi-
fication in the teachings and practice

Similar Charges Before.
I'VE remind them that i'm the early
days Of Christianity similar charges
We're made by ignorance and super

MAY ROBSON.

May Robson, in new comedy,
Mrs. Mat Plummer," by James
Forbes, comes to the Oliver theater
next Saturday, October 18th
May Robson, as an actress may be
classed among the exceptional few
and definitely as the most ingen-
uouS of the limited number assuming
the role of eccentric character With
all due regard-omitting comparisons.
one might speak of Miss Robson as a
humorist endowed with a rare sense
OF the ridiculous, without being gro
tesque, or uncouth The evidence is
clearly demonstrated in her 1mper-
sonation Of the unique character of
the mother, Mrs. Nat Plummer. Her
cleverness in the stage development
OF distinctive types of character, to-
gether with her inimitable make
up, and pleasing expression, wins inn
mediate recognition and commenda-
ton, fixing her ideRtity as the most
ingenious in the portrayal Of odd and
extremely funny characters.
Mrs Mat Plummer," the character
impersOnated by Miss Robson, is a
type of the western woman, a sweet
old lady whose heart goes out in all
fullness of love for her hayward son,
and generous to all whom she loves,
and she loves everyone She is never
so contented as when she is in the
company OF young people.

ASKS LOWER RATES
FOR WEST STATES
Changes in Currency Bill That
Would Reduce Interest Bor-
roWerS Are Forced to Pay,
Are Recommended.

WASHINGTON. oct. 16.-Changes
in the administration currency bill that
would give lower interest rates to the
people of the newer states of the west
were advocated in the senate banking
and currency committee today.
Sens. Hitchcock, democrat. and
Weeks. republican, insisted that all
sections of the new country should en-
JOY the same rates of rediscount un-
der the federal reserve bank plan.
They conceded that such a system I'M
doubleday would bring down interest
rates in western states where money
is now earning high rates. Both sem
ators insisted. however, that all parts
Of the country were entitled TO equal
benefits under the new currency law
The bill as it passed the house would
perTni. the federal reserve board to
fix different rates in the different re-
serve districts.

bank; y. F. Banfield Of the First Ma
tional bank of Austin, Mimi. VIM.
Ingle of the Merchants & Mechanics
bank OF Baltimore, and Senator
Thomas of Colorado, were before the
committee during the days hearing.
Mr.. BuckhOlz declared many of the
bankers of Nebraska opposed the ad
ministration bill as it now stands, and
that many National banks in that
state were preparing TO resign their
charters and become state banks un-
