members of the Finance Committee
since the bill had been sent to the Sen
ate. He had drawn a brief at the re-
quest of Senator Simmons on the plate
glass tariff question.
He had received no salary, he Said,
nor had any of the manufacturers OF
plate glass who have been here. There
are twelve plate glass manufacturers
and all of them have been here in con-
nection with the tariff bill. The ex-
penses of trips to Washington are paid
out of a common fund.
F. ]. Goertner, representing the inn
porters of plate glass, the witness said,
was active four years ago for lower
duties, and that 1t was because OF the
activities of Mr.. Goertner for lower du-
ties that the manufacturers came here
in addition to filing their briefs:
Mr.. Strossburger charged that the
Ways and Means Committee in its
handbook put into the data part of an
importers brief made up by f. j.
Goertner, representing New York
firm, stating the cost of production OF
plate glass here and abroad. Yet Goert-
ner had testified in 1875 that he knew
nothing about production cost. 1t was
because of this that ii was necessary
for the manufacturers to be here so
persistently.
Arouses Democrats.
This stirred up the Democratic men,
bers of the committee, and Senator
Reed asserted it was supreme inso-
lence" to question the action of the Ways
and Means Committee. Mr.. Stress
burger, however, proved his point by
showing the original brief of Goertner
and comparing Ii with the matter in
the handbook.
Senator Overman asked Strossburger
If he had not repeatedly sent a card
in to him from the marble room in
1909 and tried in vain to see him, and
finally sent to North Carolina and got
man to come here and then went
with him unannounced and uninvited to
see Senator Overman one Sunday night
Strossburger admitted he got to see him
in this way.
And you thanked me when the in
terview was over" said the witness
You told me to stay. You asked ques-
tions for two hours and thanked me
to stay"
Senator Reed proceeded to question
the witness. At one point he asked IL II
was not his purpose to increase the
duty On ''the Door mans glass and de-
crease 1t on the rich mans glass"
Senator Cummins sharply objected,
and said II was not fair way to ques-
ton the witness.
ITS not treating the witness with
anything like fairness" he said.

Reed desisted. Mr.. Strossburger pro-
ceeded to discuss glass duties at some
length.

JAPANESE WOMEN and SUFFRAGE

make women mad; and also to discour-
age female efforts toward the art of
pleasing men. But the men of Japan
are coming to look more and more for
wives of education and refinement. At
present higher education among women
does not initiate against marriage, save
as 1t renders women too refined to de-
scend to the indignity of seeking after
men.
Higher education does not appear to
take japanese women away from their
homes or give them undue interest in
outside affairs. as is the case in Amerf-
ca. for instance. Indeed, II is a constant
surprise to US that American women can
devote so much of their time to society,
and especially TO the society of men:
nor are We less astonished that their
husbands permit II.
I think il will be admitted by all who
understand our civilization that the ap-
parently inferior position of the Japanese

LONDON CRITICISM OF
FORBES-ROBERTSON

That Mr. Forbes-Robertson should
have waited for his farewell season in
London before giving Londoners a
glimpse of his Shylock may have seemed.
amid the storm Of cheers that greeted
1t last night, rather a pity. says the
London Times.
As ShyIocks go. il is not a bad Shy
lock; indeed. you cannot imagine any
really bad performance by Mr.. Forbes
Robertson. II is Shylock who speaks
with nicely adjusted emphasis. but has
occasional lapses OF memory: who is an
adept reasoner, very strong on the point
of logic and obviously pleased with his
talent for apt Illustration: who is, in
fact. a little peSantic. He can. too when
provoked by the Christian dogs. show
himself bit of a spitfire. But one ex-
poets something more than that from
Shylock. One expects him to be a ter
rible figure in his malignancy and a pa
thetic figure as the wronged father, and
a majestic figure in face of his enemies,
and tragic figure in his condemnation !;
In short, one expects him to be alto
gether in the grand style. and Mr.
Forbes-Robertson's Shylock never quite
reaches TO that style. II is just pains
taking. highly intelligent and fairly
competent performance-which is quite
another matter.

The Man Who Discovered Cause of
Malaria.
From Scnbners

From Scrbners
The discovery that malaria is not due
to miasma or TO poisonous air Of any
sort. but is transmitted from one per-
son to another by a mosquito of the An
ophles variety, was made by Maj. Rom
aid Ross, a surgeon of the British army,
formerly in the Indian service and now
connected with the Liverpool School Of
Tropical Medicine. He had been a care
full student of the problem for several
years when in a series OF experiments
In 1898 he succeeded in injecting birds
with malaria from the bites of mosqui-
toes.
Later in the same year and in 1893
three Italian physicians. A. Bignami. G.
Bastianelli,- and B. Grassi, applying the
methods of Ross, succeeded in injecting
human beings
Maj. Ross and the same physicians had
proved in previous experiments, that men
could not be infected with malaria with
air or water brought from malarious To-
calities.
