BUSY WITH BASEBALL

CHICAGO, Jan. S.-This Is the mat

American public is SO busy studying
baseball # has no time to appreciate
dramatic art.
This is the opinion Of Arnold DAILY,
the actor. who made an address before
the Drama league here.
So long as baseball attracts greater
interest than the drama, there is no
hope for good plays in America, he said.
our people have not yet had time to
cultivate degree Of culture which
makes them capable OF approaching
true art. and because America is a
new country. many good plays must
fail he declared.

WORK FOR NAVY YARDS.
Other Branches of Government
Urged to Send Vessels There.

The Navy Department has made a
strong appeal to other branches of the
governmental service which make use OF
vessels to utilize the naval dry docks and
navy yards in repair work. 1t is point
ed out that the -fiuctuation in the amount
and continuity of purely naval work in
such wards and docking stations Is
gre alter than should exist with due regard
to economy, yet these facilities should be
kept in condition for instant service In
case of emergencies.
Further, it is argued that the difference
in cost of repairs in favor of private ship
yards, due to the difference in length of
hours constituting days work, IS grad
ually disappearing, and in the near future
private shipyards must come to the gov
eminent eight-hour basis. Work at the
navy yards for government ships is done
at actual cost, and there are now thirteen
vessels under repair, belonging to other
departments. in the navy yards. and
half dozen new watercraft are being con-
structed.

To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
NV communication to The Star in rela-
ton to the survivors of the cast of Our
American Cousin at Ford's Theater the
night of April IA, 1865, when President
Lincoln was assassinated, appears to have
created widespread interest in the events
of that night. I have received numerous
INQUIRIES about the matter and l have
been informed that at least one more
member of the cast still lives. Mr.. Harry
Hawk, who played the part of Asa Tren-
chard. a character played by Joe" Jeffer-
son many times, notably on the night OF
october Is, 1858, at Laura keene's The
alter, New York, when Z. A. Sothern APP
peared as Dundreary and Laura keene
as Florence Trenchard,' is still in the land
of the living and by lucky investment
has made a fortune which he Is now en-
loving. Several members of the profess
sion, with their characteristic willingness
to help people in distress. have volun-
teered to keep a lookout for pictures OF
members Of the cast SO as to let me know
where to get those that are missing from
my collection. One of these gentlemen
informed me that he saw Mr.. Hawk
short time ago and promised to put me
in communication with him.

VACANCIES IN THE ARMY.
Sufficient Number of Qualified Can.
didates Believed Available. :

At present 1903 vacancies exist in the
army. OF these thirty-seven are in the
infantry. forty in the cavalry and ten in
the field artillery and sixteen in the
coast artillery. To I'LL these vacancies
there Will be available the successful can
didates of the civilian examination in
January and this years class at Yves:
Point. Sixty-six candidates took the ex-
animation for the army in the United
States. and 1t is not known how many
candidates reported for the examination
in the Philippines.
1t is impossible to foretell how many
civilian candidates will qualify, but II
will not take many, with the West Point
class. to fill all the vacancies that will
exist in June. The prospects are that
there will be ninety -four graduates from
the Military Academy. six of whom prob
ably will be ass gned to the engineers.
That will leave only fifteen vacancies for
civilian appointments. By June there
may be an increase in the number OF
vacancies, through retirement, death or
resignation, but not sufficient to warrant
the holding Of another civilian exam.na-
ton All the remaining vacancies will
be filed by the promotion of enlisted men.

OXYGEN HELMETS FOR NAVY.

The Navy Department has ordered
small number of oxygen helmets to De

fuel. In the case of the submarines II
is believed the helmets may be efiicaclous
when poisonous gases are accidentally
generated within the hulls, as happened
to one of the submarines two years ago
with disastrous results.
The great oil tanks in the battleships
have been found to contain deadly oil
fumes after they have been emptied OF

helmets shall serve as protection to the
mechanics who are obliged to enter these
tanks and compartments. Their use Is
also contemplated in the rescue OF nre-
