Mr. Trippett says that the eyeless
fish that exist in the Mammoth Cave

CRY
KILLS PEACE
ON TARIFF
Democratic Senator Complains
That the Measure Has Been
Ruined by Trading.
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE.

WASHINGTON. March 24.-Despite
every effort to make it appear that the
president and the members of the new
ways and mean committee of the house
are working in accord, the cold, unvar-
nished fact is that the tariff harmony
plan so carefully wrought out has al
ready gone to smash.
Democratic senator's have protested
to the president that the tariff that viii!
be submitted 20 the house caucus on
April .. is nothing short of pro
lection grab"
Frightened by this project. Mr.. I'm
derWood las issued a statement, that
reports concerning the work done by
the committee are based on scant in
formation ana are misleading, This
statement has served only to pour oil
on the fire.
Split in Committee.
The fast is that three or four mem
Ders Of thc committee have got away
from MIR. Underwood and are clamor-
ing for a tariff that shall embrace
sweeping reductions.
Mr.. Underwood knows that 10 such
tariff can get through the senate. He
knows that already an alliance has been
formed between the reactionary ana
progressive Republicans to send any
drastic tariff to the waste paper basket
and that the Democrats from at least
two states-Louisiana and Colorado
viii vote against any tariff bill that
thinkers with the duty on sugar
1t has been learned that every mem
Der of the committee has been careful
" taking care of his own constituents
and that trading has been going on to
an extent seldom heard of before.
For example, it is stated that Ham
mond, of Minnesota, has got protec-
tive duty on grain; Shackleford, of
Missouri. a duty on wool, zinc and
lead; Palmer, of Pennsylvania (who
was the presidents friend till he was
left out of the cabinet), a duty on coal;
Garner. Of Texas, a duty on mohair,
cattle and onions.
Wilson Must Adiudioate.
Now, this tariff, which, despite all
reports, has not been submitted to the
president, will be put up to him for
Gus and human nature being what II
is, it will be impossible for him to
make decision that will not start a
row.
To permit the session to labor all
summer and bring forth a tariff mouse
will be seriously to impair the Wilson
prestige.
All Mr.. Wilson's friends save Mr..
Bryan are concerning themselves with
the situation and trying to straighten
it out before the work Of congress &C
tually shall begin. But none of them
up to date has had any luck.
Within the next three weeks matters
may be amended, but the present out
look is that an all-summer session will
be devoted to producing a tariff that
will satisfy nobody, or that the session
will have been called in vain

AT THE PRINCESS.

Headed by one of the greatest cast ing acts ever seen at the Princess absolutely the most astounding aero batic act now in Vaudeville. the new Dill which opens at matinee today is the one you have been waiting for. It takes a mighty big acrobatic act to take position at or near the top of a vaudeville bill. but this one is en- titled to all the credit that has been given it. The Duffie. Redcay Troupe (four) will stage this wonderful act, The act is vastly different from the average acrobatic or casting act and introduces some marvellous features that makes it stand out in class by| itself. There is some refined comedy connected with the act, and among the features are double backwards and forwards somersaults, and a start ling sensation in the loop the loop they present. Four more spendidy developed men have never been seen at the Princess.
 There are four musical and comedy acts besides the troupe above men toned
 Pisano and Bingham, man and wo- man, character vocalists and paterers, are a rare team of entertainers. Their act is styled up to the minute merri- ment., introducing the Irish washer woman in her true character and songs, and some clever park bench love making, all of which makes this a big hit on the bill.
 Browne and Jackson, in comedy singing, talking and dancing, have versatile offering, one replete with music and comedy and graceful dancing steps. The young woman ot the team possesses a wealth of femiui- nity, dimples and smiles and sine is a vocalist of rare charm as well as an artist in her dancing. This is one of those rush acts that always makes hit
 Wilson and Keller, the Salesman and the Hunter" have a novel singing and whistling act The scene is laid in a hunters camp, and the surround ings are decidedly charming. A clever bit of whistling is brought into the act with splendid effect. Dewitt Young and Sister, The Co., lege Boy Juggler and the Fair CoEd" recall your college days, with their piquant offering They introduce the act with a clever bit of talk and then essay to juggle every article of furni- ture in the room It is a real clever and amusing act, one that is far re- moved from the average juggling act and will be sure to please
 This is the bill you have waited for. | Don't miss it.

THE NEW CENTRAL.

No matter how fat your turkey may be today, it cannot compare with the program the New Central has to of- fer, for no larger or better assortment of motion pictures was ever billed for one day in any one house in the history of the city.

This is q remarkable special, full of thrills and action every minute, and there are four reels to this big offering. Cor bett's work in this picture would do credit to any of the recognized moy- ing picture stars
 The Pathe weekly is also at the New Central today, as is the new Edi- son comedy, The Girl in the House boat" and this is a merry farce, if ever there was one. Lubin offers His Chorus Girl Wife" completing the program. Think of it, seven reels in all-7,000 feet of motion pictures every one a feature in itself, with Corbett as the big attraction, and all on one program, You cannot beat that, can you?

THE AUDITORIUM.
Gertrude Hoffmann.

Many Southern theatregoers re- member the Bijou Opera Company that used to be popular in the larger cities between Richmond and Atlanta and some of them remember Kitty Hayes, who was only a chorus girl and the wife of the musical director That little Kitty Hayes is now Ger trude Hoffmann, who will bring her own revue with her own company to the Auditorium tonight. Max Hoff- mann, the musical director of the old Bijou Company, is still musical direc- tor, but now he is known only as the Baron" Gertrude's husband.
 Miss Hoffmann went on the stage first in San Francisco, in the chorus of musical stock company. One day she was given ever so small a dance to do alone and she did 1t so well that the leading woman of the com pany offered her an opportunity 70 go East and loaned her enough money for her railway fare. The East how ever, was pretty well filled with girls hunting engagements and the little Pacific Coast applicant had a hard time until she obtained a position with the Bijou Company.
 Richmond. Norfolk, Atlanta and other Southern cities were visited and after a while she came to be known as the Little Girl in Layen- der" And later she disappeared from the comic opera stage to Te-appear soon after as Gertrude Hoffman, dancer, mimic, stage manager and producer, She discovered herself as a star in "A Parisian Model" of which her husband was the author The premiere danseuse was taken i'll and Miss Hoffmann went on in her place without preparation, and was a com plete success.
