Samuel Gompers. president of the
American Federation of Labor. at the
annual banquet of the Washington
Building Trades Council. in the Rale. sh
last night, spoke Of the contempt pro-
oeecin2s against him and his associates
in the Supreme Court
Il plead for no mercy. nor clemcncy,
no matter what becomes OF me person
ally" said Mr.. Gompers Injunction
or no injunction. ! shall continue to ex-
prsss my thoughts so long as ! believe
them to be for the public good"
The rats have eaten part of the rec
ord of the invest gtaion Of the misman-
agenent. il nothing more, Of the New
Haven railroad" ne said. Il wonder if
e, ne Of these rats can't he imported to
cat up the records of the case now
pending in the Supreme Court against
ruc and my associates. | cannot help
thinking OF this. for in few days the
court may hand down its decision in
this case.
This is a protest against any court
in America attempting to deny To any

NOT AFRAID TO GRAB
GOOD OPPORTUNITY
How Malcolm Duncan Happens
to Be Playing Comedy Role
With Mrs. FiSke.

On the stage, as elsewhere, the man
to whom opportunities come is usually
the man who makes them for himself,
yet in 10 other profession is there sucn
frequent repetition of the cry, IF only
had an opportunity."
This narrative directly concerns how
Malcolm Duncan happens to be play
ing the original and highly humorous
role of Peter swallow" in Mrs. Fiske' S
play Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh." When
the play was produced in New York this
role was first played by Henry L. Dixey
and later by Tim Murphy. As the pro-
duction was made IN April the original
intention had been to continue the play
until warm weather and then withdraw
it, as Mrs. Fiske contemplated spend
ing the summer abroad. The comedy y
was so successful. however, that it was
suddenly decided TO make d summer
tour of the Pacific coast. When ar
rangements to this end were undertaken
IL was found that. not having counted
upon such a contingency. some Of the
members of the cast had accepted stock
or other engagements. among them MIR.
Murphy, who had booked several weeks
in vaudeville
It therefore became necessary to ind
another Peter Swallow" Mr.. Duncan,
who had been playing the juvenile role
during the New York run had also been
the understudy for Mr. Dtxey and Mr..
Murphy. He had rehearsed the role
few times in that capacity, but the re-
hearssls had been merely perfunctory
and when 1t came to selecting a new
incumbent for the role. he was not even
thought of in connection with 1t. The
time was SO short. however. that re-
hearsals for the new people in the cast
could not be delayed until after MIR.
Fiske had interviewed the half dozen
or more prominent actors he had in
mind. and made selection, so Duncan
vas asked 10 rehearse the part tempor-
arily, as he was to continue on tour in
the one ne had been playing. Here was
an opportunity and 1t is possible that
he might have foreseen it, but certain
" no one else did. anyway he seized
it ard at the first rehearsal. he did not
walk through the part as many
would have done. but on the contrary
he PLACED il for III! was forth"
Having played Z with every success
during the ten weeks tour that follow
ed, il was only natural that with Mrs.
Fiske's present return to the play. the
role should nave been again entrusted
to him.

LADY CONSTANCE'S
TOES CAUSE THRILL
Distinguished Gothamites Pres
ent When Waiter Smokers
and Gets Punched.

NEW YORK. Feb. 25.-Lady Con-
stance Richardson's pink toes. a bottle
OF club soda a merry waiter, and an
angry husband gave the Great White
Way fresh thrill today. 1t happened
at the Cafe Boulevard in the wee sma'
hours. when Lady Constance made her
debut as a cabaret dancer-barefooted.
AT the sight of the little pink feet
everyone cheered. As the shapely feet
panied after an encore. her husband,
Edward Stewart Richardson. took a
bottle Of club soda and proceeded to
Oathe them.
A passing waiter snickered when he
saw the process Of fizzing the feet. The
laugh angered Richardson and he hung
crepe on the garcon's eye with a terrific
wallop. Then the foot washing was re-
sumed. after which the dance went on.
Among those dining i'm the cafe at the
time were Mr.. and Mrs. Amos Pinchot
Mr.. and Mrs. Norman Hapgood.
Nicholas Biddle. Richard Harding Da-
Wis, and Prince Troubetzkoy.

Raw Materials and Labor

The increased cost of raw materials
and labor is given as the reason for
the increased cost of manufactured
articles, in the annual report of
George f. Roberts. director Of the

reducing labor costs which would
have brought lower prices. he writes.
If the higher cost OF raw materials
and of the food and clothing of the

CITIZENS AGAIN ASK
VOCATIONAL SCHOOL
Southeast Association Also
Wants Better Street Car
Facilities.

Vocational training in all public
schools and law making it compulsory
that children attend school until sixteen
years old were recommended in resolu-
tions adopted by the Southeast Wash
ington Citizens ASSOCIATION last night
at its meeting at 3I4 Pennsylvania ave-
nue. southeast. Additional Street car
facilities aiso were urged.
Southeast Washington boys leave
school just at the age when they learn
bLd habits said a. {. Hermann,
president OF the association. .'If we had
vocational training in schools, wnen the
boys quit at the age OF sixteen, they
would be prepared for useful occupa-
tons. We have purchased a site at
Thirteenth street and Potomac avenue
southeast. and we have been trying
for nearly four years to have the Gov
eminent build vocational school
there"
w. D. Culleen. introduced the resolu-
ton providing that the present .aw al
age OF fourteen be changed to sixteen.
and that vocational training be intro
duced.
Supporters of the resolution provid-
ing for additional car service declared
Southeast Washington is isolated and
its citizens must walk half way up
town to catch a car" Andrew John
son, chairman of the street car COM
mittee. presented the committees re-
port. which recommended that the Pub
lie Utilities Commission be asked AZ
once to compel the Capital Traction
Company to extend its Florida avenhe
line. The desired extension would be
from Florida avenue and Eighth street
northeast east on Florida avenue 10
Fifteenth. thence south on Fifteenth to
Potomac avenue southeast, and over
Potomac to NJ street, and then south
to the waterfront.
