Mnrconi Explains HIS Wireless Prog

t'sFs
Mr., Marconi. who appeared as n wit
ness before the British inquiry committee,
gave some interesting details with re-
gard to his early experiments in wire
less telegraphy, and the steps which had
led to It's present stage. Mr.. Marconi
mentioned that y" scientific explanations
generally acceptsd had been as yet given
as to how TIE waves managed to get
round the Earth. In 1908 his experience
led him ~ patent and introduce the horl-
2ontaI airectional aerial, which at once
brought about the most marked improve
ment IN the strength of signals. 1t was
from that point and by that new discov-
cry hat real progress in long-distanco
work had dated. That invention enabled
him for the first time to transmit over
short distances and receive over long dis
tances without masts, the horizontal
wires being laid upon the ground. The
mastless method had not yet, however,
proved efficient for commercial work. but
ne used it for war purposes in Tripoli.

THE IpP

Few of us realize that the United States
1t the present time is actively engaged
n a war, but such is the case. Away off
n the Philippines. in the savage south
,rn islands of the group, our troops are
lighting battles, making armed %reconnais-
Ances and advances. shooting and being
shot. In the latest battle more men were
reported killed and wounded than were
lost in the whole process of taking the
Stands from Spain. The United States is
Undertaking to disarm the tribes in the
southern Philippines and the savage
Moro people are determined to resist any
such infringement of their liberty to the
end.
The fact that this campaign is prac-
tically unknown here and all but I'M
noticed by our newspapers is significant
If a curious apathy of the public mind
Ia America toward the Philippines. The
opportunities and mystery of the Philip
pines have never aroused and Interested
our people as India, for instance, has in
terested the English. This is largely due
to the fact that there has been no at
tempt to colonize and exploit the islands
for the benefit 49, our people, or to make
chem pal' .nahise, a grandiose
scheme . r rather something
quite the co... we policy adhered to
by the American Government has been to
develop the Philippines for the Filipinos.
Our Sortune-huntars have not been tempt
ed there by clever!y Devised press notices.
For the rrost part those who nave gone
there have done so TO- the purpose of
teaching, cleaning, building. doctoring,
and keeping order.
We are not 1t ilnperiniist!c people. A
democracy oannot well be impcrlalistic,
If anyone were to accuse us CT imperial
,st,c designs, our record in the Philip
pines would disprove the charge. Every
thing we have done there has been tor
the purpose of developing the islands.
Even the fighting mas been police service.
But even az the Moros wont the license
to shoot each other add their neighbors,
other natives of the Philippines are
yearning for the freedom to follow the
example of Mexico and Cuba and indulge
for a time In so-called self-government,
which, under the circumstances, would
mean government by revolution. 1t is
not imperialism so continue our kind Of
occupation longer. 1t is common sense
Snd common service. We are entitled to
continue the task we have begun.
We have been doing a big work, For it
IS greater to help than to subjugate. We
faVe sacrificed our sons to the ravages Of
disease and battle, that the service might
90 ON. We were condemned for taking
no the work. We nave been reviled for
continuing it. 1t has lacked the glamour
Of predatory campaigns. But it has been
glorious nevertheless, and the story con-
,ains more than one chapter of almost
incredible heroism and devotion, Some
day q writer will arise among us, an
American kind of Kipling, who will tell
the story of our occupancy of the Philip
pines so that we and all the world may
gee il in it's true significance.

Critics and patrons during a six months run in New York agree that the theme is a great one, the play gripping one, stirring, refreshing and wholesome. h is said to be play of big scenes and tender love interest enlivened by delight full vein of comedy throughout. It is guaranteed to furnish an evening of intelligent enjoyment.
 Fully Marshall is conceded to have the greatest role of his career in
 The Talker" so great, in fact, that with it he felt prepared to venture into the field of the actormanager. He has waited for three years for a play and role in which he cared to come before the American public as a star. Moreover, as Harry LenOX" in "The Talkar" he not only has an opportunity to run the entire gamut of the emotion but also to portray the humor and tenderness which, are the concomihant of all great charact- eriZat OnS.

CASTRO TURNS BACK
 WHEN DETAINED Rather Than Undergo Hum iliation He Abandons
 Intended Tour. IS AT ELLIS ISLAND Detained By Government Officials as an Undesirable He Changes
 His Itinerary.
IS AT ELLIS ISLAND

New York, Dec. 31.-To save him. self the humiliation of being deported as an undesirable al. .en, Cipiano Cas- tro, former president and bad man of Venezuela, la.e today announced his desire to return to Europe immed- iately. He will return Saturday by the Steamship Amerka and until then will remain on ELS Island.
 The ex-Plesident' sudden change of itinerary was decided on after he Fad been taken from the Steamer Latouraine to the emergency hospital on Ellis Island, subjected to rigid medical exam nation and then given a hearing by the board of special in- quiry, whose inquisition was directed by Secretary Nagel, of the Depaltt- ment of Commerce and Labor in Washington.
 Castro had told a reporter and the smm mgration officials that his only object in coming to New York was 10 make three months tour of country that he had always wished to see and that he had no intention of stirring up discontent among the people of Venezuela. He said: s'As | am virtually prisoner of the United! States, I do not feel at liberty at talk further of my visit. If I am released I shall be glad to be inter- viewed.'
 At that time he felt certain that his detention by the immigration author ties was only temporary. He had been assured that the medical officers had reported favorably on his physical condition and believed that political conditions only had

Tully Marshal, who is the star in ''The TalkeI," Marion FairflaX's' successful play which enjoyed a suc- cGssful SIX months' runat the Harris Theatre, New York, among actors
 is regarded as one of tie best stage directors in America. This distinc tion makes Mr. Marshall's statement in regard to acting, worthy of serious considerat on N 1T. Marshall says: "Fhe one great defect in our system of directing rehearsals, is that the material employed in a majority of in
 stances, is, deficient in one essential, and that is in the analysis of rule. Youth, which is considered the great est asset for an actress, carries With it a lack of eXper. .ence, and ;his de- ficiency makes itself manifest in the ulcer inability of the actress to thor oughly understand the part she is Yt. wing, and makes her dependent upon the stage director, who is com billed to impart her his idea of the character she is called upon to portray, and this condition, which is so general, makes it necessary that hhe actress be plastic and easily moulded. I have often thought that it would be, a rich investment for the Theatrical manager to have a rheatre farm By this expression mean al stock company in some small city that even though it be run at a loss, stiN in the end would return r ch profits in the way of actors and actresses, ripe in experience, and who, consequently, would be valuable to the managsr when. making produc- tions in New York City. This same idea has proven extremely valuable| with the baseball magnet. How can you expect an ingenue or soubrette with two or three years experience, who, during that time, may have; play ed at three or four parts, to create a role that requires a technique born of many yeahs experience, due to having Interpreter; scores of parts?
 More plays are killed because even one. young actor or actress, lack ing experience, was unable to fit his part into lthe mosaic; and although this part in itself represented very lttle, still it was necessary to con- plete the play, and being ill-played, struck "a jarrng note in the eye and ear of the audience, and failing to| syachronize, made the play just mss getting over. -
 q have observed in my many years
 m the theatrical profession, that T'he rgeatest plays ever written just missed getting over There is always q reason, and as genehal thing the actor is to blaime.'

ROCKEFELLER |S
 STILL HID OUT | May Be Evading the Sub noena Servers on Jekyl
 Island.
HOME SURROUNDED
p,mors Are Thick as to His Where. sbouts But Jerry South and
 Crew Are Active.

Kew York, Dec. 3l.-A d1spatch to ,.r,a International News Service from Brunswick, Ga, tonight declared that u;,,iam Rockefeller, wanted as a. ma- .orial witness in the congressional in- on.ry into the Money Trust has talk on refuge on Jekyl Island. Owing to,the extreme exclusiveness of this rotreat of men of wealth, which is. located off the Georgia coast, it was ;mnossible to confirm the story to- night,
 q; was admitted at Brunswick that Mr. Rockefeller had been on the ls- land two weeks ago, inspecting im- movements on the 'Nlackay cottage, which he recently acquired and ex- nects to occupy later in the season. If MT. Rockefeller. has escaped to 1ekyl Island he will be in better position to defy the authority Of the limited States government, than if he were, in his. own home at Fifty fourth street and Fifth avenue, which ist now under state of siege by Burns detectives and a deputy ser geant-at-ar1ns from the Nat onal House of Representatives Guards natrol the shores of l1he Island con- stantlv to keep off all but members of the club and their recognized friends. Access can be had to it only in the clubs boats. Unless an actual warrant of arrest was pre- sentes, Mr. Rockefeller might live there for years and defy at his will any subpoena server that might be sent out from Washington to get him.
 Another rumor declared, that Nr ! Rockefeller had left Jekyl Island. and moved on to. Bermuda and still a third rumor placed him at Palm Beach :. : < ; ? I ~ : y Despite these ranlors, however, sergeant-at Arms Riddell, of the House of Representatives, redoubled z his vigilance at f,the ,,Fifth %a avenue- mansion of the m llionaire today.
 Mir. Rockefeller's defiance of the
 government reached the point : today
 where his besiegers began to discuss seriously plans for forcing his resi-, dence and compelling him to accept
 servce of the subpoena. Jerry South,
 chief clerk of the House, who brought
 detail of forty deputies. to. , New
 York to assist in the picketing, de- clared that if it could once be estab- lished that MT. Rockefeller knew
 that the government wanted him the authority of the House would be ln- yoked to have a warrant issued fol
 his arrest for evading service of .the, subpoena. . Meanwhile the Rockefeller mansion
 the McAlpine home, the Dodge house, at 691 Fifth aenue, and the Rockefel- Ter country home, Redwood at Tar rytown, are surrounded by deputies backed by the power and authority of the United States, ready to pounce upon MT. Rockefeller should he ap- pear. :: There Was little movement of any Kina at tie Rockefeller house today. Domes.ics there continued to deny mat Mr. Rockefeller was within.

in the last CongregationalisL from
the pen of our distinguished follow

He sits there on the low, rude
backless bench,
With his tall hat beside him and
one arm
Flung thus across his knee. The
other hand
Rests fiat, palm-downward Ly him
on the seat.
So Esop may have sat; so Lincoln
did.
For all the sadness III the sUnken
eyes,
For all the kingship in the uncrown-
ed brow,
The great form leans so friendly,
father-like,
1t is a call to children. 1 have
Eight at a time swarming upon him
there,
All clinging to him-riding upon his
knees,
Guiding between his arms, clasp
ing his neck,
Perched on his shoulders, even on
his head;
And one small, play-stained hand l
saw reached up
And laid most softly on lie kind
bronze lips
AS if it claimed them. These we're
children Of
Of foreigners we cali them, but not
so
They call themselves, for when we
asked of one,
A restless dark-eyed girl, who this
man was,
She answered straight, "ONE OF
OUR PRESIDENTS
"Let all the winds OF hell blow in
our Sails"
