DlT0R AND 7. R. in LEGAL COMBAT
MAUDE ADAMS. OUR WORST ACTRESS?
WHY ~ THEN ~ IS SHE THE MoST
HERE ARE SECREiT;S OF HER SUCCESS
by FRED l.. BOALT.


BY all the accepted canons of
drafnatic art Maude Adams, who
VIII be seen I'm Barrie's "Peter
Pan" tonight and tomorrow night,
is the worst actress In the world.
Her eiocution is calculated to
give any village elocutionist the
shivers. She slTs her SIS. She
doesn't do anything right-ac-
cording to the accepted canons.
But she is, nevertheless, the
best and most popular actress on
the American stage? Why?
She has never been divorced
Indeed, she has never married
She never had her diamonds
stolen. Scandal has never attach
ed to her name. She is not tran
scendently beautiful. She never
talks to interviewers.
Refusing to court publicity, she
gets it by miles of columns. Re-
fusing to court popularity by the
usual methods, she plays always
to packed houses. At first blush
she is a contradiction and a mys-
terry.
But she isn't.
She is womanly woman
AS well as great artist, and
the public long ago tired of
Nat GOOdwin's many wives,
FRITZ Scheff's tantrums, the
tendency of the late Richard
Mansfield to hurl pork chops,
and all the other foibles and
eccentricities affected by
/ prominent stage folk.
i Maude Adams has proved her
wo-th by not resorting to these
unworthy aids to success. So far
as is known, she never had a
love affair. She Is passionately
fond of children. The world lost
a fine mother when Maude Adams
became an actress.
She has made millions for
Frohman and million for her.
self. Though a public figure, she
is as inaccessible as the emperor
of Japan. And as for sending her
mash note or inviting her to an
after-the-show supper, one would
as soon think of trying to flirt
with the Grand Llama of Tibet !!
This aIOofness is part of her
charm. The public knows moth
ing, and never will, of her indi-
viduaIity or private life. All al
legged interviews with her are
fakes.
She is stopping at the Tacoma
hotel. You could stay there a
week and never see her. She en-
ters and leaves the hotel by a
private entrance.
1t is in The Little Minister"
that she is most frequently re-
membered. A little gray mouse
of woman who seemed then.
whimsically humorous and little
sad.
When "Chantecler" was pro-
duced i'm Paris and London, they
chose strapping Frenchman to
play the title role. He strutted
and boasted and crowed magnifi-
Gently.
The critics said it was mistake
to cast Maude Adams for that
part i'm the American production.
For how could Maude Adams
strut and crow? But she did.
Then, to remind us again of her
versatility, she revives Peter
Pam" the boy who wouldn't grow
UP and who makes us busy, practi-
cal moderns believe in fairies.
Maude Adams refuses to be
seen in moving pictures. For one
film she has been offered as much
money as she can earn in a sea-
son.
The head of a great syndicate
boasted the other day: "We'H get
her yet"
But he never will.

This argument is what swung Sen
ator J. Hamilton Lewis. Democratic
whip of the senate, to support of the
/ bill. according to explanations current
among members of the upper house.
The Illinois senator has been opposed
to the pending measure until today,
when he announced that he will do
all in his power to assist the presi-
dent that while opposed to some feat
ures Of the measure he believed it his
duty and the duty of all other Demo-
Gratis to lay aside minor differences
and help defend the Presidents pro
gram of legislation.
AS whip of the senate majority ne
was busy today lining up Democratic
senators in support of the measure.
There is little doubt the president
takes the possibility of financial dis
turbances seriously. This he has in
timated several times. He has argued
that tariff and currency legislation
must go hand in hand. that the re-
duction of the tariff sets the people
only half free from special privilege
and that to emancipate business COM
pletely it is necessary to remove what
he calls the existing shackles from It.
But his remarks have left no doubt
that manufactured panic is what he
fears, and what he believes would be
made impossible by the proposed new
currency system.
The day also brought forth indica-
tions that the president and the SEN
ate Democrats are getting together on
the currency bill. There was a good
deal of commotion among the sena-
tors this morning when they read in
q Washington newspaper, report
quoting Mr. Wilson as saying that
any Democrat who opposes him on
currency legislation is a rebel
Senator Kern, the Democratic lead
er, finally consulted the president,
who emphatically denied making the
statement. The discussion brought
out the fact that there is little diff
ference between the president and the
Dmocratic senators who are opposing
the bill

Secretary Wilson
Gets Sad Letter
,Rv United Press Association

(By United Press Association
! Washington, Oct. 10.-A tragic
human document, breathing the spiri,
of childhood groping in the industrial
chaos for the substance of justice, has
come into the hands of Secretary of
Labor Wilson. 1t was directed to a
government bureau from an eastern
mill town. Here it is:
Dear Sir: | went to school and
heard and read that everybody has
rights. but my father had worse
rights than a dog. Last year my
father worked in the cotton mill as
weaver for seven weeks. Three
times during those seven weeks my
father got less pay than he ought to.
First time he spoke to the foreman,
so he added S1.65 to it second time he
again got less, so he spoke about it,,
SO he added S1.40 to it, and third time
on the 22nd of November, 1912, he
earned $9.45 so they wanted to give
him $3.50.
When he spoke about it that he
did not get as much as he ought to,
so the superintendent friend Paul
also weaver, sprang to him with
knife and shuttle and made few
holes in his head. When he sat there
and the blood was dripping from him
SO the superintendent came and
told him to walk out of the mill. Then
my father told him that he is too
weak to walk and that he should get
a doctor and the police. So he went
and got three persons and the four
took him and threw him out in the
boiler ROOM
"A man that worked right next to
him took him by the hand and lead
him TO the police station. About two
hours passed before they reached
there so he lost a lot of blood, and
afterwards he lay three weeks in bed.
Before his head healed it took about
three months Not enough that they
paid very little, SO they took aboue
1896 from the small pay yet. We are
five children and we want food.
Now on the 18th of July the grand
jury case was finished and my father
does not know anything. Nobody was
guilty. nor the one that took the pay,
nor the one that half killed him, nor
the ones that threw him out into the
boiler room. Would you not be so
kind and please see if the matter
could stay as it is now.
Yours affectionately,
"ADELA WOLSkY and
VINCENT WOLSKY."

and young wife who live in Brooklyn,
N. Y.
Franks crime was particularly re-
voting. Little Mary Phagan's body
bearing evidence of the fight which
she had made to preserve her honor,
was found in the cellar of the pencil
factory, of which he was superintend-
ent and his uncle is president. At first
the police were completely baffled.
Then came stores from girls in the
factory that they had frequently seen
youngr girl employees called into the
Office after the factory had closed at
6 o'clock. On these occasions, the
girls said, a negro guard stood out
side Franks door. The visitors al
ways went in singly. Some of these
visitors were located by the police.
They told the details of their visits
and Frank was arrested after one of
them said Mary had told her she was
going to see Frank. Frank protested
his innocence throughout and his
mother and girl wife stood by him
even after sentence of death was pro-
nounced on him. Under a grilling
cross questioning, however, the ne
gro guard was forced to admit that
Mary Phagan had been coaxed into
Franks office the night before her
body was found.

POSTOFFICE TO TAKE
OVER TELEGRAPH SERVICE

San Francisco, Oct 1O.-The Wash
ngton-Alaska military cable and
telegraph service, operating between
Seattle and Alaskan points, which was
constructed some seven years ago by
the army and since operated by it.,
soon will be taken over by the post
office department at the request of
that body. Instead of the signal corps
operating the great system, as it has
been doing, civilians will hereafter
be in charge of it.
Probably the military cable and
telegraph system was the one great
est achievement of the government in
making life in Alaska more bearable,
particularly during the winter
months, when many portions of the
district are absolutely cut off from
the outside world save by telegraph,
as it enabled newspaper publishers IN
the north to get daily news service.
Why the postoffice authorities
should desire to control the system
army men are somewhat at a loss to
understand 1t will necessitate civil
ian employees of the government per-
forming the soul-racking work of pa
trolling telegraph lines in winter, as
heretofore done by the signal corps,
and it is scarcely believed that the
postoffice department., with high sal
aried civilian employees, can make any
more money out Of it than the army
has done.
War department orders received in
this city instruct Major Charles McH.
Salzman, signal corps, to report to
the postmaster general in Washington
for duty in connection with transfer
ring the system.

KNIGHTS PROTEST AGAINST
MENACE.

At a recent meeting of the
Board of Directors of the Knights
of Columbus it was voted that a
communication, in substance as
follows, be addressed to the Post
master General of the United
States:
'sThe Board of Directors of the
Knights of Columbus, represent
ing 100000 members, respectfully
calls attention to the circulation
through the mails of the s'Men-
ace weekly publication print
ed in Aurora, Mo.
"The matter published in said
paper is not only un-American and
a libel upon nearly 100000 of
our citizens, but also in violation
of the postal laws and regulations.
Wherefore, it is respectfully
represented that the circulation of
said publication be investigated
by your Department and it's
further circulation through the
mails be prohibited"
1t was voted that a committee
consisting of the Supreme Knight,
Supreme Advocate and Supreme
Treasurer, with the authority of
the Board of Directors, call on the
Postmaster General, at such time
as may be convenient.
This is one Of many similar pro-
tests that have been made to the
Postmaster General by Catholic
organizations in an effort to have
some action taken by the postal
authorities which will deprive the
Menace of the mailing privileges
which it now enjoys.
When the Federation of Cath
Ollie Societies appealed to the pos
tai authorities last year to ascer-
tain if there was any means by
which the Menace could be de-
barred from the mails, they were
informed that the existing postal
laws afforded them no redress.
We hope, however, that something
will be done to remedy this de-
feet, and relieve the postal depart
ment of the odium Of transmitting
through its channels newspapers,
periodicals and books that tend to
arouse and infiame sectarian bigo-
try.

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE.
lNsIDIoUs ACTION OF ALCOHOL

AS we have learned from Investigate
ing the cause Of occupational and in
dustrial diseases, that different kinds
OF poisons and chemicals as used in
the trade require a fixed period of
time in which to show their ill effects
upon the physical economy, so may
we estimate, with a fair measure of
certainty, says DIR. Poynton Of Chi
cago, the probable period required for
the moderate use of alcohol to mani
fest it's deleterious action. 1t is true
that this will vary somewhat in diff
ferent individuals, depending upon the
nervous system; environment and
even hereditary susceptibility; never
theless in the large proportion of al
coholism, we will find that the time
required to bring about the charac-
teristic mental and physical changes
is extended over period varying
from five to ten years. It is this in
sldious action and cumulative effect
that has deceived so many, and adds
thousands annually of the flower of
our youth to the alcoholic ranks. 1t
is to this class of individuals, who
are deserving of better fate, would
particularly call attention. They do
not know the risk they incur in the
moderate use of alcohol until it is too
late, or at least until there have been
certain changes brought about in their
nervous systems which tend to
weaken the will, impair the judgment
and dull the moral faculties. It then
becomes harder for them to break the
habit. 1t is our duty as physicians to
point out those dangers whenever DOS
sible, so that the insidious onset of
alcoholism may be guarded against
the same as any other preventabIe
disease. There is no denying the fact
that many individuals seem to tolerate
a temperate and moderate use of
alcoholic beverages for years, and yet
show no perceptible ill effects, nor do
their systems seem to require an in
creased amount as the years go by.
Such persons, however, are not in the
majority, and the daily use of even a
moderate quantity of alcohol is sure
to bring about wellknown PATHOLOGY
cal changes, necessitating a gradual
Increase of the amount consumed.

few moments from the incessAnt
calls of a life devoted to The
spiritual care of others in order
to promote their personal sanctifi-
cation. But during these da ys,
they are concerned exclusiI ELY
with their own spiritual affairs.
Nothing short of absolute neees-
sity will be permitted to interrl pt,
even for moment, the trend of
their thoughts towards God, in Or
der that they may profit to the
fullest extent by the opportunity
afforded them to take stock of
their spiritual condition.
1t is but right, therefore, that
the people at whose beck and call
they are, for the remainder of the
year, should respect the solemhity
of the coming week, and only In a
case of urgent necessity recall
them from their devotional ek kerr
cises. The faithful should pray
for their pastors that God may
sanctify still more the lives of the
watchmen on the towers of Israel,
and render the days of the anhual
retreat a time Of spiritual expan-
sion that will enable them I'd at
tain greater heights of sanctity
themselves, and lead their focks
more securely along the narrow
road of spiritual perfection.
