APPRAISEMENT REFORM
PLAN Is APPROVED
Mr.. MacVeagh's Last Official Act as
Treasury Secretary Is to o. K. Re-
port on Customs Changes.

Secretary OF the Treasury MacVeaGh,
who during the last four years has ef-
fected reforms saving the government
million or more dollars annually, yester-
day closed up his administration with the
approval OF a report submitted to him
by the Appraisement Commission, recon-
mending important changes in the meth
DDS of appraisements OF imports. This
report, which was approved and made
public by Mr.. MacVeagh just before sur
rendering his office to William G. McAdoo
yesterday, points the way to correcting
the frauds that have been practiced in
appraisements and thus increase the reve-
nues by millions of dollars
A copy OF the report was transmitted.
under date of March 5. 10 Representative
Underwood. chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee OF the House, for the
Information Of the committee, with a let
ter from Mr.. MacVeagh. The report was
laid before Mr.. McAdoo, but as he has not
yet had opportunity to digest It. no fur
ther action is expected for some time.
The scope of the investigation included
general study of the conditions under
which merchandise is appraised all over
the country. The commission was ap-
pointed by Mr.. MacVeagh last summer.
and consisted OF Z. r. Wakefield, chair
man; J. W. Wheatley. ]. D. Nevius. ].
A. Springstead. and Guy Emerson. The
committee spent about six months in
its investigation. visiting personally all
the important ports in the country.
The report declares the present ap-
praising system to be full of weakness,
leaving loopholes for frauds. The neces-
sity is declared for more and better in
formation essential TO appraisment: bet
ter training for examiners. direc. super
vision and control of certain phases of
the work Of appraising. better conven-
fences for inspection and examination of
by examiners. and an ad-
review OF appraisments.

STANDARD LOAF Case
UPHELD BY court
Ordnance Passed h Chicago Held to
Be Csssdtndsaal By High
est Tribunal.
THE SHE CAN BE FIXED

Just how vital and effective a regula-
tion which will fix the sise Of a loaf of
baked bread ID, can best be realised by
the people of the District Of Columbia
when they familiarize themselves with
the far-reaching effect Of a very recent
decision OF the Supreme Court OF the
United States. In which an ordinance of
tht city Of Chicago, which fixed the
weight Of Q standard loaf Of bread to
bo pound. and prohibited the making
or selling OF loaves which are not UP
to the weight Of the standard loaf, after
having been contested In all tho courts
up to the Supreme Court, was upheld
and as being mot such an unreasonable
or arbitrary exercise Of the police power
as to render the ordinance void under
tho United States constitutional four
teenth amendment. prohibiting the taking
Of property without duo process of law"
Superintendent of Weights, Measures
and Markets for the District of Colum-
bia, William c. Haskell, believes the de-
cision will have great weight in iufiu-
encing favorable action on q bill now
before Congress to regulate and stand
srdize the bread loaf Of the District.
Results Depend Upon Protests.
Trust and those who are active in the
local bread war" may make to the
passage of such q law will perhaps de-
pend largely upon tho effect OF the pro-
tests the present confused state OF the
bread trade are causnig to be formulated
for presentation to the District Com
who are expected to Set a
date for an carly hearing to consider
the protests
The fact that such an everyday need
rs loaf Of bread and the size Of 1t have
recently been the object of consId Grafton
in at least two different cases, from two
States. by the highest tribunal in the
and. is argument enough In the opinion
Df many that the District of Columbia
be not a laggard in a matter OF such su-
preme importance at ALL

FIGHTS WIFE'S WILL.
DR.. Edwin r. Lundy Opposes Pro-
batting of Document.

According TO a dispatch received In this
city yesterday. DR.. Edwin J.. Lundy
appeared in the Probate Court OF Gin
cinnati and opposed the probatinG OF the
will of his wife, Mrs. Luella Lundy. who
died November % in the Homeopathic
Hospital of this city. Following the pro-
baton of tho will DR.. Lundy asked that
he, instead OF his wife's sister. be named
executor of the will.
The sister, Mary Louise Shafer OF this
city, was named in the will. Judge
Lueders ruled that the sister could not
be appointed. as she is not a resident of
the State but he refused also to appoint
DR.. Lundy. In the will Mrs. Lundy does
not mention her hsuband, but gives her
entire estate. estimated to be worth
$4,000. TO her sister. Judge Lueders gave
all concerned until Saturday to agree
upon a person to be named as admins

Jones, assistant stage director. have
doae a great deal more than was
expected or them. The performance
moved without unusual hitch ard the
amateurs handled themselves well.
There was enough comedy TO cover
any slips with laughter and Song, and
as whole the show gives very en-
tertailis & event. ny Two or three re-
maTkably good impersations contrib
uted to the enjoyment of kamaainas.
j. Ashman Beaver, thinly disguised
in name as Slobby Reekons. came on
the stage with a makeup so realistic
that he was instantly recognized as
the redouEtable U. s. District Attor-
ney and greeted with a round Of
cheers. W. A Aldrich alexander
Springbpard) not only looked like
Alexander Hume Ford, who was bur-
lesQued mercilessly throughout the
show, but sustained the characterize
ton with great fidelity and effect.
Ed. A. Douthitt, The Tourist" is
distinct hit with whiskers and accent
of unmistakable British cut and hue.
He handles himself like profession
al. DIR. S. ID. Barnes, as Mr.. Percival
WHlcughby, head of the promotion
work, adds to the transformations
The show is distinguished by a
beVy of pretty and acknowledgement
girls, and the feminine roles are
pleasing all the way through. Miss
Beryl Hunter-Jones, to whom falls
most of the dialogue and action In
the feminine section, is spirited,
clever, unusually self-possessed and
makes great deal of her part, be-
ing particularly good in duo dane
ing number with Mr.. Douthitt. Mrs.
G. X. Tackabury, queen of the lei
girls, has splendid contralto voice,
and her interpolated number in the
second act is very meritorious. Miss
Helen Latham is winsome end sings
charmingly as the juvenile, Ambrosia,
and Miss Violet Stoever is very good
as the daughter of the promotion
chief Alapaki Smith has a small
part as young sport in which he
does well.
The Lobster Quartet, the Beaux and
Bellies double seKtet, and the Floral
Parade octet are exceedingly effec-
tive, and the ensemble numbers are
perhaps among the best of the show.
"The Tourist" will lie repeated to-
night and tomorrow night and ought
to play to large audiences if last night
is criterion.

The Tourist" is a bit of comedy, a
dash Of dialogue, plenty of dancing
and music galore, and the combina-
ton, with young Honolulu lads and
lassies carrying the roles, is attrac-
tive alike To visitors and home people.

others held up to mid or even strone
ridicule
Carl Miltner's music carries the
show nicely. II is distinctly. OF the
light singable' kind with plenty OF
movement and gaiety, and occasion
ally rising TO pleasing melody. Sever
al of the song numbers are so far
above the average seen on the light
and comic opera stage that one won
ders why Mr.. Miltner should not turn
more seriously 10 this field of must
cal effort. His ensemble numbers
are particularly good The dialogue
by f. T.. Irwin and the verses by
Will, Sabin are clever and pointed.
Several of the lyrics are unusually
dainty and sweet. = ~.
The plot is slight, the action CEN
tering around the arrival OF The
Tourist, AlgeInon Fudd-Gerkin, an
exaggerated Englishman, and his
pretty daughter Ambrosia in Hawaii.
The opening scene is at local
steamship wharf, giving opportunity
to show a crowd Of Honolulans well
coming the visitors. The second
scene is the lanai of a Honolulu
hotel The love interest is sustained
by an affair between the tourist and
Mrs. Kailima Dollarby, lovely but
lonely" and 4 minor affair between
the tourists daughter and Alexander
Springboard, burlesqued local char
acter The second act is mostly a
succession of song numbers, with the
occasional introduction of a dance.
Throughout the show a successful
effort Is made to accentlIate local
co.or and local hatits and customs.
