Washington, Oct. 4.-With the Dem
ocratic tariff law consummated activi-
ty today was transferred from the
halls of Congress to the Treasury De-
partment, where officials began the
development of plan of enforcement.
Treasury officials declared the new
act was the lowest tariff law in the
history Of the country. with the pos
sible exception Of the Walker tariff
OF 1916. With President Wilson and
the congressional trainers, they de-
elared it was a competitive tariff and
freely expressed the conviction that
business will be invigorated and sus-
tanned through its operation. The
most difficult administrative feature is
the income tax provision.

Washington, Oct. 4.-Surrounded by
the leaders of a united Democracy,
President Wilson signed the Under
wood-Simmons tariff bill at 9:O9 o'clock
last night at the White House. Stimuli

toms collectors throughout the coun-
try by the Treasury Department, put
ting into operation the first Democratic
tariff revision since 1894.
A happy group of legislators, men,
bers of the cabinet and friends encir-
cled the President as he smilingly sat
down and slowly affixed his signature
with two gold pens.
He presented to Representative I'm
derwood the pen that had written the
word Woodrow" and the one which
had completed his name to Senator
Simmons, both of whom bower their
appreciation.
In impressive silence the president
rose and delivered In easy, natural
tones an extemporaneous speech that
brought prolonged applause. The pres
ident declared that the journey of leg
islative accomplishment had only been
partly completed; that great service
had been done for the rank and file
of the country, but that the second step
in the emancipation of business was
currency reform. He earnestly called
upon his colleagues to go "the rest Of
the journey" with fresh impulse.
Goes Only Halt Way.
Gentlemen, fell very peculiar
pleasure" said the President, "in what
just have done by way of taking part
In the completion Of a great piece Of
business. 1t is a pleasure which is
very hard to express In words which
are adequate to express the feeling;
because the feeling that have is that
we have done the rank and file of the
people of this country a great service.
It is hard to speak Of these things
without seeming to go off into cam
paign eloquence, but that is not my
feeling. 1t is one very profound, a
feeling of profound gratitude, that,
working with the splendid men who
have carried this thing through with
studious attention and doing justice all
round, ] should have had part In serv-
ing the people of this country. as we
have been striving to serve them ever

had been entombed for more than
seven days, Joseph Toshesky called
through his food tube to rescuers last
night that he was content to spend
another night behing the wall Of coal.
"Tell my wife I'll eat dinner with
her Saturday sure" was the cherry
message sent up through the tube. I'm

The Washington herald., 1913-04-01

The most crowded place in the world
for four or five and half days of the
week is that small tract of territory. COW
ering one acre, bounded by the Royal Ex-
change, the bank, and the Mansion House
in the city of London. 1t is a veritable
human ganglion. If you were to stretch
an invisible thread north and south across
this space you would find in the course of
each day no fewer than 100000 persons
passed and repassed, together with $4,000
vehicles. And the busiest corner of all
in this acre is Immediately outside the
Mansion House, for rather more than half
the traffic crossing our imaginary boun-
diaries passes that way. The result Of a
traffic census taken by the city police
shows that on an average day some 10000
vehicles pass this particular corner, while
the pedestrian traffic Is well over 100000,
and these figures are constantly increas-
ing.
But it is to America that one naturally
turns for big figures to rival those Of
London. Chicago boasts a human gang
lion in State Street. where nearly 100000
people pass and repass on foot during the
day In New York the figures approach
those of London. and largely exceed it IL
we count the actual number of persons
on foot and in vehicles alike. Fer in
Broadway. at the junction with Herald
Square, it is stated that 100000 pass daily
But this includes the passengers by tram
car, the foot passengers alone being well
under 50.co0, says the Strand.

the New Lyceum this week. with q two
act musical burlesque, entitled "A Yam.

Rush, Teddy Evans and Robert Demine
have the comedy parts and give satisfac-
ton in the way in which they handle
them. Estelle Colbert is featured as the
Yankee Doodle Girl" Lena Daley has
the soubrette part and takes good care
of It
There is little bit OF plot in which
her parents try to make their daughter
marry a nobleman and she wants a plain
American. Comic situations are develop
ed by Felix Rush, impersonating the
nobleman.
The chorus is prettily costumed and
assists In most of the soLg numbers The
chorus swing Number was enthusiastic
cally received, as were the Texas Tommy
dances. Another feature worthy OF
mention is the RUDE Minstrels, with
James Francis as the interlocutor. and
Felix Rush and Chester Nelson as end
men. The second act is aboard an air.

something to help along the entertain
ment participates.

which Leo Pardello and Jim Garvin are
to meet for a finish match. Both men
are in tip-top condition.

THE ACADEMY.
"SnObs."

"Snobs" is the presentation at the
Academy this week. with Shep Camp as
the star of the production. The play
was written by George Bronson Howard.
The story deals satirically with fash
ionable society and depicts the sudden
rise to fame OF a milkman, who, through
the death of relatives. inherits vast
estates a huge income and the title OF
the richest duke in England. As a
milkman, the hero was a huge success,
but he is gifted with enough common
sense to know that as a member or the
nobility he VIII not shine without help.
so he promptly engages his chum, a
fireman in foundry, to help him out.
The chum has garnered most OF MS IDEAS
of social etiquette from reading Laura
Jean Libbey's works and study of ad-
vice to the lovelorn in the daily papers.
But he is game to tackle the work. as
he hopes to meet a society bud, who at
one time paid visit of inspection to the
foundry in which he worked.
The situations become ridiculous. and
are capably handled by the versatile
comedian, Shep Camp. Mr.. Camp is
remembered as the drummer in The
Travelling Salesman" and as Henry Dis
ney makes the most Of his opportunities,
to the great delight of the seatholders
His rendition of his own compositions
is entertaining
A cast of unusual excellence supports
Mr.. Camp. Marie Lambert is petite and
attractive as the clever Miss Parkyn.
David Golly portrays the brainless dude
Henrietta Goodman and Maud Williams
are typical society types. Will Collins is
amusing in his efforts "to break into
society,"" The other characters are all
in capable hands.

THE GAYETY.
"The knickerbOckers."

Robes "Knickerbockers' are the at
traction at the Gayety this week. with
good show. The company Is large.
well costumed, and in addition is a good
singing aggregation.
With Roger Imhoff as the star. one of
the best Irish character delineations seen
in burlesque is offered, and Mr.. 1mhoff
is responsible for many laughs during
the evening. AS Casey the porter, he
is very good: in fact, he has one of the
best parts ever given him. He has able
support in his comedy efforts. and is
closely seconded by Irving Walton, a
tramp comedian. who is above the aver
age Of the type usually seen in burlesqoe.
He reminds one strongly of Nat Wills.
but his work is by no means an imi-
tation of that gentleman. The other
members Of the male portion are Tom
Morrissey, George Banks. a good lead
ing man. and Jack West.
The female contingent is above the
average seen at the Gayety this season.
both as to acting and singing. Doris
Thayer is a good soubrette. and is re-
sponsible for several very we'll rendered
numbers, her two selected songs in the
second act being the feature number
of the evening. Augusta Lang is the
possessor Of one Of the best voices heard
in the Gayety this season. and her two
numbers, far too few to suit the audi
ence. were most cordially received. Alice
Vivian, in her small part, Is good. The
other female members Of the company
are Kitty Gebhardt and Marcelle Cor
eene.
The chorus is good. and is responsible
for much of the success Of the several
musical numbers.

POLI'S.

s.Tbe Girl of the Golden West"
The production Of THE Girl of the
Golden West" as performed last even
ing by the Poll Players, is one of their
best efforts this season. This Belasco
play Is well known to theatergoers OF
this city, and a very complimentary COM
parison could be made by those who
witnessed the original production.
The character that stands out above
all others is that of Jack Rance, and
the memory Of Frank keenan, in this
role makes the task doubly hard for his
successors. but Mark Kent does not stick
as closely to an impersonation Of keenan,
as the others who have handled this
role, and on account of this fact appears
to a better advantage. His work was
finished and clean-cut. A. III. Van Bu-
rem, as johnson, the road agent, lends
a great deal of strength and character
and makes the ideal personality for this
conception. Izetta Jewel, the Girl OF
the performance, does extremely well.
but this role is not the best suited for
her style Of acting. as 1t is dificult for
Miss Jewel to make an audience accept
her as the unrefined heroine that char
acter represents.
Frank Shannon handles John w. Cope's
character Of Sonora Slim In a regular
rough-and-ready manner. Graham Vel
sey. as Nick the bartender, fits in very
well with the rest Of the cast. Dudley
Hawley has an excellent opportunity
in the role of Jose Castro. and
makes the most of it.. The characters
Of Woke the Fox and Billy Jackrabbit
are cleverly portrayed by Helen Tracy
and James FrawIey. Thomas William.
as the Sidney Duck. the card cheat;
Craig Weston, as Trinidad Joe; Harring-
ton Gibbs. as Handsome Charlie, and
J. r. Reimers, as Happy Halliday, were
the most conspicuous among the remain
der of a very large cast.

COSMOS.

One of the best bills of the season
is being presented at the Cosmos
Theater this week. With the eXcep-
ton of a remarkable athletic act by
the six CoTnallas, during which a young
woman does some really wonderful
somersaulting high in the air and from
shoulder to shoulder on her companions,
comedy and music predominant.
One of the big laughmakers is bill
Blithers, Bachelor" presented by Robert
Henry Hodge and his company Of five.
It's scene is laid in a boarding house,
and the laughter is raised by the ef-
forts Of three young women to make
love to a woman-hater.
Another. equally laughable. is THE
Night Porter" presented by Van and
Carrie Avery. the former in blackface
who work motion pictures into their act
in a humorous way. Cole and Coleman
have a very good musical act. featur-
ing saxophones, electric bells. paper
cornucopias,' and pipes of pan. Dan
Delmar wins applause with his songs
in three voices, and Jeeter and Rogers
have a humorous offering. The Pathe
Weekly Review is the photoplay feat
ire.
