WILSON WINS GREAT VICTORY
Beats Clark, Underwood and Other on
Free Tolls Bill in House

President Wilson Friday won the op-
ening skirmish of the greatest leg, STA
tive battle OF his administration When
the House over bitter protests from the
recognized Democratic leaders, and al
most solid minority opposition, adopted
special rule for the consideration OF
Tie bill repeating the free tolls provis.
ION of the Panama Can't.
Speaker Clark, Democratic Leader
Underwood, Republican Leader Mann
aud Progressive Leader Murdoch were
at the head OF those lined up agansi
the Administration but the House
responded to the Presidents personal
appeal for prompt consideration OF tine
repeal bill as a means OF supporting
his Administrator foreign poicy.
Two votes demonstrated the Presi-
dents commanding influence with his
party in Congress On the first test
motion TO end debate and preclude
amendment on the rule carried by a
vote OF 1N TO 10 the rule itself was
adopted 30 10 ~ Nothing 10 com
pare with the scene had occurred in the
House since the famous Cannon rules

the House and urged his colleagues to
vote against the rule. The rank ana
lille Democrats, after listening to three
hours of passionate arguments, swung
into the Presidents column, l95 Of
them voting to prevent the amendment
OF the special rule. while but IS fol-

Two Democratic members OF Con-
gress from kentucky-Thomas and
tlelm--voted against the adoption OF
the Panama tolls rule On the final
vote on the passage OF the OF the re-
pe1ling bill, Thomas Nill vote for the
measure and Helm against il.
Representative Helm said the whole
tendency OF modern times is To reduce
tine cost OF transporting merchandise
and products and that the United
States IS now expending the enormous
sum OF forty millions dollars with 4
view to reducing freight rates in Alas
ka. TO refuse to make il possible to
reduce ocean freight rates through the
medium Of free passage through the
canal is out of harmony with tins ten

senator James is much pleased over
the victory OF the President in the
House.
He had to oppose all the leaders of
all the parties--Clark. Underwood,
Fitzgerald. Mann and Murdock-but he
bowled all of them over like they were
ten-pins," said the Kentucky Senator
laughingly.
Senator James has declared himself
in favor of the repeal OF the Panama

A Good Road Law We Didn't Support

Governor McCreary has signed the
state aid bill. levying a tax of five
cents on the 500 to create a state road
fund, with which to aid counties in i'm
proving roads. The law goes into eff
feet in 1915, and provides that, where
county uses its road fund for per-
mancnt improvements under the con-
d,ionS Of the law, which requires plans
to be prepared by the State Road De
partment and the approval Of the con-
tract by the Commissioner. the state
shall put up dollar for dollar with the
county. Now ii congress appropriates
S25,OO0O0O to divide out among the
states for good roads. which is practi-
cally certainty, Lincoln county's road
fund raised at home by the five cent
tax will amount to about 5000 a year.
while she will receive about $4,000 a
year from the state and national funds.
This is a good law and will mean lots
towards better roads. Lincoln's repre-
sentative voted against it. however. for
he was pledged against any sort of
legislation at the recent session which
would mean an increase in the tax rate
on the people, and this law adds an
additional fivc-cent tax on every tan

HIS FIRST STAGE
A RAILROAD YARD
Matt Kennedy Discovered in
Time He Was a Better Actor
Than Fireman.

There is a sinister relation between
railroads and actors which has mainly
to do with walking the ties" but in
the case OF Matt Kennedy, at the Gay
ETY., the relation has nothing to do with
foot work.
The comedian, born in Cumberland,
Md, where half of the population work
on the railroad, was no exception to the
general rule, and at the age of eighteen
was a fireman on a locomotive.
At one time during the two years of
his service as fireman his ridiculous ap-
pearance at the time of a wreck had
attracted the attention of the superin-
tendent of the road, so when the private
car pulled up some time after in the
same yards where kennedy's engine
was, inquiry was made for the youthful
fireman of the screaTningly funny cos-
tune.
He was pointed out to the big boss as
he Stood oblivious of onlookers, enter
tanning a crowd of his fellow workers
in an out-of-the-way spot near the
roundhouse. Nothing was said to him
at the time and he-was allowed to fin
ish his performance, but before the prl-
vate car left he was called in 'on the
carpet"
Have you ever been fired?" he was
Neither his wits- nor his courage de-
serted him, as he said:
mo- not yet; they haven't got on to
me-" and he escaped scot free as
the superintendent said. laughingly:
well, you never were meant for the
railroad, you belong to the stage, but
go back to your work"
Shortly afterward a wreck deprived
him of his own engine, and nearly his
life, so he gave up the road. acted on
the suggestion of the superintendent
and has been in burlesQue ever since.

By JULIA MURDOCH.

HT sometimes happens that the history
of a great play is just as dramatic
as the story told by its author.
Indeed, it would be impossible 10
find in fiction or the drama story
possessing greater human interest and
more genuine drama than the story OF
the production Of The Little Min
ister," the play that has been selected
for revival next Monday night by the
Poll Players.
At a time when Charles Frohman' 8
Empire Theater Stock Company, in
New York, was at the height of its
fame, its leading man was Henry Miller,
the now famous aCtOr-manager.
One day a delicate yOung 5sTl appeared
for rehearsal as a new member OF the
cast She was dressed in SHABBY cloth
ing, and her badly worn shoes could not
protect her feet from the winter cold.
She was frightened and embarrassed.
Mr. Miller felt great sympathy for the
young woman. She had just three lines
to speak In the play. Taking advantage
of his position of authority in the com
pany, he boldly interpolated lines of his
own creation that built the girls part
up until it became an imp Jrtant minor
role.
