Opera company's production of Robin
Hood" which comes to the Illinois
theatre Sunday. while we known in
dramatic circles on the Pacific coast
and in the stock companies of the
middle west, is a comparatively new
acquisition to the operate stage. His
past performances on the concert
stage are OF very high order. While
he was studying his part last summer,
Mr.. Daley was anxious to rehearse
the 'Armorer's Song with the bust
ness" at the forge, as il was a novel
situation to him. Such an opportun-
ity presented itself while he was
hiking through a small village near
the Palisades in New Jersey. In
speaking of the amusing incident. Mr.
Daley says: I'VE came to a little vii
lage consisting OF a hotel a few
houses, the general store and post
office combined, and a blacksmith
shop. My brother dared me to go in
the latter place and sing the Armor
er's Song behind a real anvil, with
hammer and hot iron in hand. The
old, white-haired smith evidently
thought / was a nut but decided to
numor me. So, much to the amaze
ment of an audience consisting of
barefooted boys, barking dogs and
gaping loungers from the general
store across the way. l sang the song
for the first time with the props and
real atmosphere The old smith was
eager for another song, but l COM
promised by taking him and a few
others to the nearby tavern for cigars
and other refreshments. l am sorry

Prisoners Did Not Want Murderer
Hanged en- ''Hoodoo" Day.

Many of the prisoners in the District
Jail We're relieved when they learned that
President Wilson had decided not to per-
NIT the execution of Tony Mlanu on
what they called "hoodoo" day. Had the
execution taken place today, one of them
said, none of the other prisoners could
have expected luck i'm the future.
The stay of execution came as com
plete surprise to the condemned man and
he was so overioyed when he heard the
news that he wept. He had anticipated
no further interference on the part Of
the President and had about abandoned
hope OF escaping the gallows this morn

taken in him by persons who never knew
him before he killed Harry Elton Smith

on the celebrat ton of Independence day.
has called meeting of the committee for
tomorrow morning at II o'clock in his
office in the District building. when the
big program for Independence day will
be considered and report made by George
w. White, treasurer of the joint COM
mittee.
Never before has the committee been so
well prepared with diversified and unu-
sual program for the Fourth of July.
More than 1900 children have signitied a
desire to participate and are being train
ed for the pageants and folk dances. and
hundreds of the leading singers in Wash
1ngton have accepted service in the cho-
rus of 500 that will be led by Heinrich
Hammer.
The entire program of pageants and
folk plays is calculated to inspire the
greatest degree of patriotism and to lend
mighty force in the education of the
youth in the history and traditions of
the United States.
Symbolism and allegory will be brought
to bear to picture the historical phases of
life in America. and the members of the
Washington Center of the Drama League
pageants and folk dances, are working
with fidelity to detail to carry out the
program in all completeness.
The exercises in the morning will be
held in the Memorial Continental Hall.

Secretary of War Garrison
and Col. GoethaIs in Con-
ference Today.

Secretary Garrison. who returned today
from West Point, where he went to at
tend the graduation exercises at the Mill
with Col. George w. Cocktails, chairman
of the Panama canal commission in re-
gard to canal affairs. 1t is the present
purpose of President Wilson to refrain
from any attempt to organize the per-
manent government of the Zone until the
canal is practically completed.
When. he visits the isthmus personally
in the early fall he will not only make
a careful examination of the great water
way as an engineering achievement. but
probably will take up with Col GoetEals

1t is in just such work of organiza

1t was his knowledge of the amount of

canal that impelled Col. Goethals to seek
authorization for any early organization
of the force of employees.

Aims at Equalization Be-

mediate points from southern points were
approved i'm an opinion handed down to-
day by the interstate commerce com
mission. Careful investigation. accord
ing to the opinion. has failed to show
the unreasonableness or unjust dscrimi-
nation of the proposed rates.
BY the opinion the order s1spending the
operation of the rates until June II mex.
is vacated and they will be allowed to go
into effect The increases range from 1
to cents'a hundred pounds in carload
lots.
The real effect of the tariffs. it is de-
clared is to eoralize the rates on lumber
between the points involved. On this
point the opinion says:
The proposed tariffs. generally. estab-
liSh the same rates TO Washington Bal
timore and all intermediate stations on
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. At the
present time the rates to Washington
proper higher than to stations on
the line of the Baltimore and Ohio rail

far as HyattSville and Alexandria juno

the same as to stations on the Baltimore

Junction and Relay: and these Wash
stations Relay to Baltimore, inclusive.
Same as Proposed Rates.
at the present time, and for some
years past. the rates to stations on the
Philadelphia. Baltimore and Washington
railroad between Washington and Balti-
more are and have been the same as the
proposed rates.
From some of the points of origin

the southern territory the Seaboard Air
Line has had in effect since September
10. 1870 rates to Baltimore and Ohio
stations east of Washington. including
Alexandria Junction and Hyattsville, the
same as the rates here suspended.
From many of the groups of origin
to stations on the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, New York avenue eastward to
Alexandria Junction, and thence west
and south to Shepherd. opposite Alexan-
dria, Va, the present rates are lower
than to Alexandria Washington: and
this Notwithstanding the fact that all
these points are beyond Alexandria and
Washington with the exception of the
New York avenue station. which is in
Washington. The proposed rates merely
make the rates to these stations the
same as to Washington for all groups
and the amount of advance is in no
case greater than l cent

Is in charge of this feature, and has as
sured Commissioner Rudolph that the en-
tries are of character that will make
the exhibitions out of the ordinary
j. Fred Kelley, chairman of the fire
works committee, has that feature of the
day and evening all prepared.
With every detail of the Fourth of July
program well i'm hand the joint COM
mittee is confronted at this time with
lack of funds sufficient to carry on the
big work. Chairman Rudolph is assured
that the funds will be forthcoming in
due time. but it would encourage those
in charge of the arrangements d very
great deal if the citizens of Washington
would come forward promptly with
checks and subscriptions to the fund. 1t
will require $3.50 to carry out the big
program. which will provide wonderful
array of entertainment for the people of
Washington.
1t is pointed out that this celebra ton
with its features is entirely Of public
character for the people, and it is hoped
that the people will now come forward
and give according to their means in the
furtherance of the work.
