THE PLAZA

Those who are interested in occult phenomena, and enjoy the mysterious and n1ystifying may speculate to their hearts content during the remainder of the week after seeing the asst of Ali Rajaa1, the Egyptian hind-reader and telepathist, which heads today's entire new show at the Plaza. To this oanny seer of the Orient all secrets seem penetra1ble, for without confed- crates eollusion of any kind he tells promptly what may be in your mind, the money in your pocket, when you were born, your name, and in fact, anything which it would seem that no stranger possobly scould tell
 It is a. most remarkable exhibition

LYRIC THEATRE

The many quaint episodes of David Harum" are reproduced this week Dy the Eleanor Cleveland Company in a manner which brings to that already mendation The presentation of the play will long stand as one of the most artistic of all the productions of the company.
 The title role in the present in- stance is performed so well by Ed ceIIent1y with the work of William H. Crane which he made one of the greatest triumpI1s of the American stage. MT. Nannery is an artist of un- usual merit, and his powers as a com edian are brought into full requisition in giving an inpersonation of the dry old gentleman which will add exten- sively to the splendid impression he has before given.
 The character of Mary Blake, in Miss Graber's hands. is another which receives the utn1 ost consideration, and 1t richly deserves it. Miss Graber has in previous efforts shown an artistic merit which makes her unusually prominent, and in the present instance. she is appearing to especially good advantage.
 MT Bruce gives also an exception ally clever reading of the character of John Lenox. He is a manly, com scientious and careful worker, and a better assumption of the part could hardly be looked for. It is a pleas he is adding immensely to his popu- larity.
 Ben Southern, Miss Maitland, and Miss Lewis also deserve the extended commendation which is bestowed up- on them this week. They all are seen with unusually good effect, and the characters could scarcely be bettered. The play is well staged

RAIL ROADS WON'T
 ARBlTRATE UNDER
 ERDMAN MEASURE
Statement Issued Defines Pos ition of Conference Commit tee of Railroad Managers

The Eastern Railroads in a state nlent issued today define their posi- ton as to the proposal, to settle the differences with railroad fire1nen un- der the Erdnan aot. The railroads maintain that the interests of the public are not Safeguarded under this act, and they decline to go ahead on the basis suggested by the f1remen.
 Here is the statement from the as- sociation, in which the New Haven road is a strong factor:
 s'Tt has been stated in the press that the dremen, who are voting on a proposition to strike simultaneously railroads, are prepared to arbitrate under the Erdman Act, which the railroads decline to do.
 The strike ballot is NVorded so as to demand an increase in the firt- mems payroll of $e,600, 600 or 35 per cent annually Assuming, however, to force upon the railroads arbitra- tion under the Erdman Act, the rail- road companies wish their position made clear to the public
 stThe railroads are prepared to ar bitrate before a commission of five or seven or nine men. appointed by some such disintereeted committee as Chief Justice White, of the United States Supreme Court, Martin A Knapp, Presiding Judge of the United States Commerce Court, and c. P. NeilL United States Commissioner of Labor.
 This was done in the engineers controversy. It was fair. It satisfied the people of the country
 The objection to the Erdnan Act is apparent from a. statement of what the act plans, namely, that arbitra- ton shall be by commission of three one appointed by each side, and the third by the other two, or else by Judge Knapp and Commissioner NeiH- The whole decision is in the hands of one man. It is too much power for one man to have
 The ErdInan Act was drafted to settle labor disputes on single rail- roads, not on all the railroads of a large territory
 .tP. H. Morrisey, former head of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, and the Engineers representative on the recent Arbitration Commission, recognizes this defect Of the Erdnan Act- He says:
 $ The Act might also be amend ed so that the arbitration board might have three, five, seven or nine mem bers, depending upon the magnitude Of the issue, with the neutral rebre- sentatives holding the balance of power
 The neutral members Of a wage ar bitration affecting railroads repr esent the public. It is the interests of the and their own, that the railroads are endeavoring to protect. They main tain that the Engineers Arbitration Board was right in saying:
 The most fundamental defect of the EFdman Act is that the interests of the public are not guarded by it 70

To the Editor of The Farmers

To the Editor of The Farmers
 That there are more ways than one to skin a, cat,'' has come to be a fairly accredited axiom of popular be- lief when the two bridge building propositions, for the use of Trolley Co.,, were fncontinentlX turned down at-e4tf1e popular referendum last fall, we were morally certain that only one of it's nine lives had been scotched and that it would be promptly resurrect- led again in some new shape. T
 The Railroad law of 1911 expressly specifies that where an existing bridge would suffice for all ordinary traffic, aside from that of the Trolley Go, and if a new bridge is required for their joint use, that, in that case, the Trol- ley Co. is to bear one-ha1f the expense of the same
 Now any one at all familiar with traffic conditions at the Stratford Av- enueu Bridge knows that if there is any blockade of travel from excep- tiona1 conditions, such as the draw being off-and this is apparently, the form in which a blockade at present does occur, the principal @actor of ob- struction is the lined up Trolley cars.
 On the other 1tem-that of Fequir- ing a stronger bridge-it is the big Trolley cars mainly that are needing it and that are causing damage to the structure by their excessive weight and necessarily high powered motors
 Plainly then, under the 4RadIfoad law of 1911, it is the duty of the Trolley Co., if a new bridge is really needed, to pay one half the cost of the same.
 That is just where the shoe pinches. Soak the City, is now, as it always has been, in the past, the slogan of the Big Railroad Monopoly. If the City. can be damboozled into building a nearby paraIIe1ing bridge that will relieve the pressure of travel. if such exist now or may be expected in the near future, why, that will answer the purpose, and the City pays the bill. Incidentally. the wires will be pulled directly thereafter, and the Trolley

It's easy to understand why. Creams and lotions only get at the surface, while Stuart's Calcium Waters go right into the blood and instead of a slug gisn deposit in the skin the impurities that cause skin diseases are destroyed in the precipitation that is exha1ed through the pores in the form of in- visible vapor. You'll never have a good complexion without pure blood, but you positively will have a fine, beautiful eomp'e 'e~5oo if you use Stuarts Calcium Waters.
 They contain no polsonous drug of any kind, are perfectly harmless and can be taken with absolute freedom, and they work almost like magic. Calcium Sulphide, their principal i'm gredient, is the greatest blood-cleanser known to science.
 No matter how bad your skin may be, Stuart's Calcium Waters will quickly work wonders with it. It's goodbye to blackheads, pinpIes, ache. boils, rash eczema and a dirty filled up complexion. You can get a box of Stuart's Calcium Wafern at any drug store at 30 cents a box, and you will be positively delighted with their wonderful effect.

Progress in Missouri

Jefferson City, Mo-, February 49,
(By telegraph to New Republic. y
Despite a strong liquor lobby, it is
believed the county unit bill will be
reported out of the senate committee
on criminal Jurisprudence tonight and
will become a law. The liquor inter
ests realize that if the measure passes
saloons will be driven out of almost
every part of the state, and they are
fighting desperately. The bill passed
the house, February IL, by a vote of
90 to As.
Friends of the measure are confident
that if voted out by the committee it
will pass the senate without difficulty.
Much credit for the success of the
measure thus far is due to C. M. Hay,
of Galway county, and E. L. Moore,
of Barton county. Efforts to amend
the measure have been resisted stead
lastly. One amendment, offered by
w. H. Phelps, of Jasper county, re-
ferred the measure to the people
through the initiative. 1t was voted
down by II to 81.
