Joe MaxwelTs Players" in their tense

Darlington Phelps. have a thrilling story
of the underworld that bears a strong
likeness to a tense incident in a big

The story tells OF how a Bowery girl
was employed by the police to trap her
lover into confessing a murder and then
aided him to escape the clutches of the
law by showing that he committed n
lesser crime which established a perfecS
alibi- The sketch is well put together

Polo teams representing ireland and
Scotland. furnished by the International

ences this week with a genuine game
of polo on bicycles. The contest is
waged in earnest and developes consid-

The bill opens with the noted Bound

ssBourht ana Paid For,

It is the comedy in Bought and Paid
For" they tell us. that has made II the
popular success ii Is. Its claim as a
serious drama, however. appealed sc
strongly 20 a Hebrew clergyman in New
York that he delivered a sermon upon
II. And certain ii seems that George
Broadhurst in writing 1t must have
drawn some ideas from two of the big
plays by the great French social drama

tiers of Monsieur Dupont" discussed the
gross immortality Of marriage without love
as solution for a girls financial problems,
and In Maternity denied the husband S
right to possession OF his wife against
her will, even though she were bought
and paid for"
Virginia Blaine, in the Broadhurst
play, was overpersuaded to marry
Robert Stafford and his millions. She
grew to love him in spite of his occa-
sional intemperance, but found herself
at length revolving from him and un-
able to protest herself against him
when he was intoxicated. Her stead
fast pluck in leaving him. to face
poverty and hard work after three
years of luxury have a strong moral
and dramatic appeal which is doubtless
as much an element in the public's lik-
ing for the play as is the excellent
comedy furnished by Jimmy Gilley,
shipping clerk. in his amusingly con-
ceited Incompetence. Jimmy, It should
be said, however. is a very legitimately
funny character, who creates laughs
almost every moment he Is on the
stage without becoming extraneous to
the situation, and IL is, in fact, to one
of his great ideas" that Virginia
owes the final solution of her troubles.

TOLLS DEBATE LIMIT
UNDECIDED IN SENATE
Optimistic Members Believe May Is
Will End Speeches-Others Think
Time Will Be Later.
MANY ADDRESSES SCHEDULED

There is a wide divergence OF opinion
among the Senate leaders as to how long
will be required for debate on the Pana-
ma Canal tolls repeal bill. The more
optimistic predict that the debate will
end by May l6 Others predict that it
will run along for most OF the month.
Senator Townsend, OF Michigan, was
the only speaker yesterday, but other
speeches are scheduled for the rest OF
the week. Senator Bradley. Senator
Stone. and others have given notice OF
speeches Senator Bristow will speak
Wednesday, and Senator OGorman
Thursday.
The country will not be deceived by
the false issues raised in this contro-
versy." said Senator Townsend. He
who utters the cry OF special benefit to
American shipowners, who. during all our
past. have been encouraged TO build
and operate American ships, and he who
asserts that the advocates OF our national
doctrine are working in the interests OF
a ship trust, will invite the inevitable
criticism upon himself OF being inter-
ested in a propaganda to destroy compe-
tition to railroads and 10 yield a right
surrendered.
The known benefciaries OF the money
expended by the advocates OF this prop
aganda have been very active in their
efforts to secure action favorable to
Great Britain. They have been much in
evidence here in the Capitol. 1 would
much prefer TO believe that they are actu-
ated by high motives and principles; but
when they gratuitously assign bad mo-
tivcs to their opponents where no evi-
dcnce OF such motives exists. wonder
why. II lived in Il glass house. I would
hesitate before I threw stones. lest
demolish my own premises.
Senator Townsend called attention.
early in his address, TO the mystery
which Ne said surrounded the reasons Of
President Wilson for asking the repeal
at this time.

makes a hit with the gallery gods.
Charles Raymond as "Jermain Noodles
makes a good partner for Baker.
Between acts and olio Of exceptional
merit is offered. 1t furnishes one of the
real hits OF the show. Two dancing
specialties by Liddy Berg, Mabel Nc
Cloud, Mickey Feely, and Keely alone
are worth the price of admission. The
chorus is another bright spot Of the Of

tractive, and knows how to sing and

That same Bunty whose prim. pretty.
and practical ways have pulled the heart
strings of so many thousand spectators

full comedy of Scottish character. Miss
Violet Heming, as the capable lass who
smooths out all the domestic snarls faster
than her father and brother and lover
can tangle them is the most charming
and self-possessed little manager imagin-

pany with unusual nicely and all the
players succeed in rendering the Scotch
dialect SO as to make IL both convincing
and understandable.
OF the men in the play Tammas Biggar
Bunty's father. is the most important.
and John NJ. Kline, by his strong and
virile rendering of this part, earns the
honOrs of the production. This is no
reflection on the work of Earle Brown.
the leading man of the company, who
gives an admirable portrayal Of the slow
and simple Weelum Sprunt. who is en-
gagged to Bunty, and glories in his chains.
Everett Butterfield also offers a clever
piece of work as Rab Biggar. George
Barber has a small bit as the bell
ringer at the kirk, and Willard Robert
son is the village policeman.
Miss Julia Blanc has a first-rate op-
portunity in the character of Susie
Simpson. the sour old maid. whose
matrimonial designs on Tammas start
most of the trouble Miss Carrie
Thatcher is Eelen from Glasgow. who
finds an old fame in Tammas and is
accepted by Bunty as a satisfactory
helpmate for her father. Mis- Glenden-
ming is a charming Teenie and Miss
Drofnah is seen for a moment as the
village gossip.
Much credit is due to Mr.. Ritchie
and the others responsible for the
handsome stage settings and the COM
plete and tasteful costuming and

.$45,OOO,OOO Deficit
facing JOHN bull
Chancellor Lloyd-George Tells Com
mons Income Tax Must Be Raised
to Meet Sum.
LABOR WILL NOT SUFFER

London. May "A deficit of s45,-
100000 faces the British government
according to an announcement made
by David Lloyd George. chancellor OF
the exchequer. when he introduced
the annual budget in the House OF
Commons this afternoon. One OF the
means suggested to make up the def
cit was an increase In the income tax.
The tax on incomes up to $1,000
shall remain unchanged, according 10
the chancellor's scheme. with the fol-
lowing accounts imposed on larger ac-
counts: $1,000 10 $500. 81 cents on
every IS; $500 to $4,000, "a cents.
$4,000 to Sl2.5OO, IS cents: 3l2.5OO 10
earned incomes above $4,000 was
placed at 20 cents on every s..
The chancellor said that $4,000. 600
extra would be required for the relief
OF local tax payers.
Speculation as TO how the govern
meat would make up the deficit was
set at rest by the chancellOr's an
nouncement that extra taxation would
be imposed in such a manner that the
working classes would not suffer.
Death duties imposed upon the estates
of the rich are to be increased and
a tax placed upon British capital in
vested abroad
The supertax limit is TO be lowered
from incomes OF $3.50 TO those of
$4,000 with revised rates. At present
a supertaX OF 30 cents for every IS IS
paid on incomes of S25.00O and up
ward. but the first $4,000 charged is
not subject to II.
The total yield from the supertaN
will eventually be s3s.S5O.OO0, the
chancellor estimated. but this year It
will be only $l2.5OO,OO0.
The total revenue for the coming
fiscal year is estimated at t1.O@9.775. 900
and the expenditures at about Sl.O7I.-
as. 900. This is more than the expend-
itures during the cUstliest year of the
