FR0HMAN TO SUE
COMSTOCK
SAYS Vice Crusaders Attack on
"The Beautiful Adventure"
Is SlanderouS.

As a result Of Anthony Comstock's
letter to District Attorney Whitman
calling attention to scenes in the play
"Thc Beautiful Adventure" and classl-
flying them as Objectionable, Charles
Frohman. the producer of the. play
will to-day file suit for slander
against Mr.. Comstock. -,
Mr.. Frohman will contend in his SUIT
that he has been producing plays Tor
more than twenty-five years and has
never before been accused of producing
a drama based upon an immoral theme
or presenting ar immoral scene.
Mr.. Comstock, who insists that his
purpose was quite the opposite OF a
free advertising scheme. admitted that
he had written to Mr.. Whitman and
said: 80,
IF the devil and all of his hosts
we're attending a performance OF an
immoral play, | would still consider
that had sufficient grounds to act
Upon the invitation OF Mr.. Frohman'
Mr.. Whitman's assistant, William A.
he Ford, and hiS secretary, Lloyd D.
willis. visited 1.-THE Beautiful Advent
ure" last night TO determine If the &C,
cusations of Mr.. Comstock were well
founded and if there were suthclenI
grounds upon which to restrain the
PRODUCERS from continuing the play
After the performance last night
neither Assistant District Attorney dc
Ford nor Mr.. Willis would comment On
tbc nIav. MIR. Frohman, however, en-
pressed his indignation at Mr.. Com
stocks action.
Heretofore, whenever plays Of an
indecent character have been eNhiDI'7I
in New York" Mr.. Frohman declared
"they have been driven from the stage
or their performance modified, not
through an individual protest, but
through the protest of New York news
Had one of the New York new spa
pers uttered criticism against The
Beautiful Adventure it would haze
meant something 20 me. do not DC
lieve that Mr.. Comstock has seen Inc
Beautiful Adventure at all. because
we are not giving away any tickets for
this or any other play"

WOMEN DENOUNCE
NEW WAR FASHIONS
Peace Committee Argues That
Such Gear Puts Wrong Ideas
in Children'S Heads.

Peace fashions for American women
and peace toys for American children
were Endorsed by the Womcn's Peace
Parade Committee which met yester-
day afternoon at the Hotel McAlpin.
The following resolution. introduced
by Mrs. Robert Adamson, wife of Fire
Commissioner Adamson, was adopted.
That this meeting. called to consid
CIR the propaganda for peace, urges
upon the women Of America to refrain
from the purchase OF military toys,
uniforms and clothes, and opposes all
fashions based upon the military idea,
so that nothing may be placed in the
hands Of children which will keep be-
fore them the idea Of war, and thai
women may not in their dress keep the
idea of war before themselves and
their children"
Mrs. Adamson begged the women not
TO encourage the military fashions
which, she said, were certain to be a
product of the war.
"'American fashions for American
women has been a good slogan" she
said, but | have better on" Peace
fashions for American women"
Miss Grace lsobel COlburn told the
women they were to blame for war,
because they glorifed the trappings Of
war.
"You weep over the upturncd faces
Of your dead" she said, but when
there is no war, and your loved ones
are not in danger, you rush to the
streets to watch the parades and you
say, oh, the dear boys. Don't they
look Grand in their uniforms" | urge
that we all take this vow: i will not
glorify the military spirit; will not
admire the military uniform; I will not
teach history by the dates of battles
alone; | will not give children tn
soldiers TO play with.
Mrs. Henry Willard presided over the
meeting, which was attended By more
than three hundred promlnen: women

HARBOR BILL CUT
DOWN S14,OOO,OOO
Vote on "POrk Barrel" Reveals
Big Breach in Democratic
Majority Ranks.
fFrom The Tribune Bureau.

Washington. Sept. 2l.The flibustcr
against the river and harbor appropria-
ton bill was brought to u triumphant
conclusion i'm the Senate tonight by
the defeat Of the Democratic forces
who were standing back of the meas
urc.
By a vote of 81 to %, the Senate
adopted a resolution to recommit the
bill to the Commerce Committee with
instructions to report measure ap-
propriating not to exceed 100000, 900
for continuing work on existing pro-
jects. TO be expended under the direc-
lion of the Secretary of War.
The vote disclosed a serious breach
in the ranks Of the majority. Fifteen
Democrats voted with the Republican
filibusters and seventeen Democrats
stood firm to the end. An identical
resolution. introduced by Senator Bur
ton on Friday, was defeated by an over
whelming vote.
The sudden change Of front on the
part of number Of Democrats was
said 10 be due to command from the
White House. Last week, when tho
hlibuster was on, the Democratic lead
ers, who sought to jam the bill through
the Senate, were Disconnected by re-
port that the President WAS in favor
Of a resolution appropriating a lump
sum for the continuation OF existing
projects, and no more.
Senator Simmons, who was in charge
Of the bill, called at the White House
to-day, and brought back word that
the President was not opposed to it.
Revolution, nevertheless. suddenly
broke out in the Democratic ranks al
ter all hone Of compromise had been
lost and the battle had been resumed.
Senator Bankhead, taking up the dis
it, with the declaration that the time
had arrived when il vas necessary to
economic. Senators Pomerene and
Thompson supported him.
The crumbling OF their forces an
gered the leaders who had been con-
Quoting the fight for the bill. In a
rancorous speech, Senator Simmons in
Weighed against The critics Of the bill
and declared that a large portion OF
the press, acting under the stimulus
from the railroads. had been conduct
ing an unjust campaign against the
measure. The fact that the Demo
cratic revolt was said to have been in
spired from the White House resulted
in a breach in the Democratic party,
which will probably leave scar for
some time to come.
The vote tonight was a triumph for
Senators Burton and Kenyon, who held
the Senate in session from Friday
morning until Saturday night without
respite.
