Col. GoelhAls reports that the cost
of the Panama canal to date is $685.
$4,000. When the work was begun
it was predicted that the cost would
exceed half billion, SO that the ex-
penditures, large as they are, are well
within expectations. And it's worth
the money.

MUSICAL COMEDIES
NOT ON WHITE LIST
Catholic Theatre Movement
Finds 1870 Dramas Suitable
for ChurchgOers.

The Catholic Theatre Movement issues
in the Easter number of its Bulletin
what !; calls "A White List OF Plays"
in which are named 1870 plays which
the promoters consider are proper for
Catholics TO see.
The plays include a number which are
row on the boards in New York. and
many recently presented here which are
now on the road or in use in repertoire.
Finally, there are many old favorites
which are produced by stock compan mics
and now and then are revived on Bload-
way.
The conditions OF choice were given
as follows;
"A play must not, with regard to
morals occupy d. batable ground.
There should be a general agreement;
that "A play is clean and wholesome.
THE appeal should be simple and uiii.
versal.
THE play should be fit for theatre
goers of all ages, and suited to varied
tastes
"Counsels of perfection are not in
sisted upon. The complers of the ,list
add that the conclusion need not bo
drawn that all plays absent from the list
are 10 be condemne6.
THE appearance OF play upon that
Est" the announcement continues. in.
dlcates that from the standpoint of tn,
general Catholic theatregoer the play
has been adjudged reasonably free from
objet tionable features. The promoters ot
the movement caution their public tina
In approving play the movement does
not vouch foT its author its PRODUCING;
manager or the theatre In which II II
presented, 80 far as other plays by thu
author or put ON by this manager or IN
this theatre are concerned"
OF the so-called white slave play and
others of n tract character. the Bulletin
has this to say
1T IL only too true that there are
hideous social sores, unutterablc depths OF
sin and degradation, the existence of which
canno, be ignored. Whether the stage is
the place 10 deal with these awful prob
lens OF life is in itself problem to be
solved But every thoughtful man and
woman must 'depore the untold evil
wrought by the dilettante and the seeker
after sensation who. in alliance with
speculative managers. do not hesitate,
under one pretext or another, to force
upon our young men and women prema-
ture knowledge OF and familiarity with
the most hdeous phases OF human degra-
daton,"
No musical comedies or operettas are
included in the list.
There are thirty-two plays now being
pvesented In New York. not counting the
Brooklyn theatres. and not counting the
productions at the regular stock theatres,
vaudeville. burlesque or moving picture
theatres OF these nine are musical come
dies or operettas, which. apparently are
not considered by the movement one way
or the other. OF the remaining twenty
three plays. eight are placed on the ap-
proved list and fifteen are not The eight
which appear on the list are Along

Leonora," "a Pair OF Sizes" peg o My

PARK VANDALS CAUSE
POLICE MUCH WORRY
No Trace of Decorators Of
Monuments Has Been
Found.

Mayor Mitchell and Park Commissioner
Ward are trying to devise a scheme TO
prevent the theft Of portions of monu-
mtnts in parks and other public places,
believing that an organized gang of
thieves has taken advantage of the fact
that such public property no longer re-
ceives the police protection 1t once did.
Their action follows the theft recently
Of four bronze medalllons valued at 5000
from the Seventh Regiment monument in
Central Park. of costly bronze Tyre from
the Beethoven monument and of mas
sivc bronze eagle from the monument in
Fort Greene Park. Brooklyn.
Dett ctiNes have been unable to get a
trace OF the vandals who have been busy
in Central Park nee January /, accord
ing to Mr. Ward. THY work at night
and owing to the scarcity of police guards
are seldom molested, carrying away their
booty generally in vans or covered
wagons Hundreds OF rose bushes and
other expensive exotic plants also have
been removed and the city has lost thou
sands of dollars through the thievcry.
Riverside Park. Ma Hhattan Park. Pros
pect Park i'm Brooklyn and other public
places have been visited by the thieves.
Commissioner Ward says that the only
way to stop the loss Is to increase the
force of park policemen. lie says that
only eighty-eight policemen are now on
duty In Central Park. which comprises
LOO acres, and that not more than thirty
of these work at one time.
The stolen medallons from the Seventh
Regiment monument weighed siXty-iive
pounds. and were two and one-half feet
in diameter. They were bolted to the
base, hut the thieves had plenty Of time
10 work and adequate tools to remove
them. One of the medalions was found
later in the park wrapped In gunny-
sack, 1t has been used as IA model for
the construction OF three new ones.
The stolen Tyre, which was grasped by
the hand Of the heroic figure In the Mall,
