"Bunty Pull. the strinr..~ -

'Bunty Pulls the Strings" one of the
most delightful wholesome plays of recent
years, returned to the Belasco Theater
last night and charmed anew the in
tellgent theatergoers of Washington.
The strength of this rare comedy of life
and manners in Scotland is that il has
elementary virtue The interest grows
out Of situations destitute Ct intricacy or
subtlety, but the Characterization are
froceful and rugged, and clear cut, and
the dialect is redolent of Scotch heather.
Bunty Biggar. or rather Molly Pearson,
Tor the character will ever be associated
with this pleasing player who originated
the role. was one Of those women who
while entirely feminine are created TO
manage things. She could have done
most anything had she been a man.
Bunty chose her husband and step
mother, and handled the affairs of Others
much better than they could have done
IL themselves. One could but admire
the sound reasoning of the energetic
Scotch iassie--and sIiss Pearson.
Susie Simpson, the marriage designing
spinster. is character Offering a play
er rich opportunities. Polly Griffin met
the possibilities of the part acceptably,
although she was not sure of her dialect.
Teenie Dunlop was a sweet and simple
girl just as Violet Dale portrayed her,
and her Aunt Eelen. the 'perpe-c-ctual
bri-i-ide,' likesble woman of good COM
mon sense. as Mabel Stanton made evil
dent
Weelum surely must have been a more
intelligent person to attract Bunty than
William Lennox made him. Bunty was
far too clever a person to marry a fool.

INQUIRY into GRAIN
EXCHANGES ASSURED
Manahan Resolution for Probe Of
Grain Trade viii Be Referred to
Agriculture Committee.
IS GIVEN HEARING BY HENRY

An investigation Of the grain exchanges
of the United States by the House Com
mittee on Agriculture seems to be as
sured. Serious charges against the grain
exchanges are made In the Manahan
resolution. which was considered at a
public hearing OF the House Committee
on Rules yesterday.
The Manahan resolution charges that
the price OF wheat paid to the farmers
and the cost of flour to the consumers
is controlled by the Board OF Trade OF
Chicago, the Chamber of Commerce Of
Minneapolis and like bodies In other
cities 1t charges further that the Chi
cago Board OF Trade Is a monopoly ana
that IL exercises control over the buying
and selling of wheat In that market.
Future" trading In wheat and other
grains also is condemned.
Mr.. Manahan appeared before the Rules
Committee to urge favorable action on
his resolution Of inquiry. Chairman
Henry. of the committee, and Represent
ative Campbell. Of Kansas, the ranking
Republican member, suggested that the
investigation proposed properly comes
within the Jurisdiction Of the Agricultural
Committee. Mr.. Manahan said he had
no objection to such reference.
Then" said Chairman Henry. couldn't I

Just what the situation is In regard to

could take action referring the matter
to the Committee on Agriculture, with
recommendation for the enactment Of ap-
propriate legislation
VERY WELL" replied Mr.. Manahan.
"we can establish a prima facie case, and
the matter can be threshed out before
the Committee on Agriculture"
Manahan was asked by Chairman
Henry for an estimate of the loss to the
farmers and small SPECTATORS through
future trading.
The big dealers are able to depress
prices 10 cents a bushel." said Manahan.
This means a loss of S2oooo,ooo an

sentative Campbell.

The White House made public last night
a letter which the President has written
TO Senator Benjamin F. Shively, of In

tion of the arbitration treaties by the
Senate. When the treaties were under

succeed the late Senator Bacon as chair
man, was i'll, and the duties of leading the
fight for the administration fell upon
Senator Shively.
This is The Presidents letter:

fcation of the arbitration treaties pass

feel and the deep appreciation of the
way in which you have executed the
duties which have SO Unexpectedly
fallen upon you as the ranking member
of the Committee on Foreign Relations.
The sudden death of Senator Bacon and
the temporary Illness of Senator Stone
brought these duties upon you without
warning and you have certainly per-
formed them in IA way which deserves
the gratitude of the country. The rati-
ftcation of. the treaties was of the
deepest Importance to the country and
involved matters which you handled
with singular delicacy and success.
What YOU have done in this matter.
however. is only OF a piece of what you
have done throughout the period during
which | have had the pleasure Of being
associated with you. / have always felt
secure in turning to you for support and
assistance in any of the great matters
which concern the welfare of the country
and the success of the party
Cordially and sincerely yours,
