AGAINST MARYLAND LAW
Baltimore and Ohio Curtails Tele

Eleven men have lost their positions
and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company is saving about 500 a north in
salaries and other expenses as the d.rect
result of the closing of a number OF sig
nal towers on the road not far from this
city.
The closing Of the signal towers AMI the
discharge of the employees resulted from
the passage by the Maryland legislature
of law making 1t mandatory upon the
part Of the RAILROADS. in the state to give
their telegraph block operators. tower

Off a month. The railroad company
throughout the Baltimore division adopt
ed a retaliatory or retrenchment method
by closing several telegraph Offices en-
tireiy and leaving some important offices
open only nine hours a. day.
Changes Elsewhere.
At Silver Spring. lone man has been
cut out and only one man will be used
during the nine hours of the day. The
same applies to Benning and Laurel. At

two men have been. dispensed with, and
only one nine-hour: man Is held. The
same applies at Ealicott City, making
eleven men who have been relieved from

commercial service rendered by the West.
ern Union Telegraph Company to that
section also Is cut out.
1t is not thought the operators on the
single track from Hoyds, Md, and Ger
mantown to Washington Junction will be
disturbed, as safety, it is stated, could
not be guaranteed by abolishing any OF
these Offices. 1t was claimed by the
Baltimore and Ohio Company. when the
bill was being discussed before Gov.
GoIdsborough. that it did not have, men
enough to comply with the law. and as
a result Of its passage the compant has
done away with some OF its offices and
employees. .
It was stated at the Office Of the ST.

affected by the law. that no stations have
as yet been abandoned.

BeIasco.

Lew Fields and Marcus Loew's Winter
Garden entertainment, The Pleasure
Seekers" gave the patrons of the Belasco
last evening a chance to see the kind OF
diversion that is said to appeal with
especial force to New York amusement
lovers. 1t is a haphazard, high-ciaS
burlesque entertainment. with elaborate
chorus evolutions, handsome stage set

specialties of the principals. Florence
Moore, the breezy comedienne. with Will
liam Montgomery, her partner IN former
SHOWS of the kind, divides honors in the
performance with Alfred and Sigr-d
Naess in a marvellous skating exhibition.
The artificial ice which they employ is a
matter OF scientific curiosity as we'll as a
striking novelty in popular diversion.
The effect is that of real ice skating.
The big scenes of the show are the win

and the cafe and modiste parlor scenes
in the second act, both of which present
q large and attractive feminine chorus in

Columbia,

The Cohan & Harris farce, Nearly
Married" entertained a fair-sized 81
dience at the Columbia Theater last night,
with divorce between the play and public
as improbable as it was predominant in
the plot. Many humorous complications
are developed in plot that does not tax
the credulities, as farce is SO much ex-
pected to do. The acting gives spon-
taneity to each new twist of events in
the night in which the action of the play
takes place.
who wanted his first case as a lawyer SO
badly that he persuaded his sister to
bring suit for divorce, with the aid of a
professional but respectable correspondent
for divorce suits, Hattie King, wound the
entanglements Of the suit, unhappily for
the man and wife chiefly concerned. but
happily for the audience, that found ell
joyment In many laughs.
With the divorce suit pending, the
Lindsays met by chance in the parlor of
q New York hotel, and in a delightful
dialogue made up their differences so well
that they started on a second honeymoon.
Just as their friends we're beginning a
celebration over the reuniting Of the cou-
pie, important Brother Dick announced
that the divorce has been granted and
the Lindsays are no longer married. An
automobile chase to carry the news to
the couple winds up at the Cherry Tree
Inn. because broken bottles In the road
in front are an insurmountable obstacle
to the tires of the machines of the sew
eral parties in the chase.
Complications come thick and fast-the
Lindsays decide to remarry and find the
divorce decree prevents the husband from
remarrying, the professional co-respon-
dent arrives with an unpaid taxi bill, to
bring more doubts to the near Mrs. Lind
say, and a fire breaks out in the garage
where the automobiles have been stored,
bringing the merriment to climax. Com
plications arising out Of the fire, in the
way of efforts to collect insurance and
taxi bills, keep the fun going through the
third act, until the Landsays rush off to
a minister in an adjoining state. where
the bothersome divorce decree does not
operate to prevent a remarriage.
