DOROTHY DoNNEILY Is BILLED
Creator OF Madame Y 20 BE Seen in
The Thief at the Pastime.

Dorothy Donnelly, the creator OF
Madame X'' begins today at the Pas
time a three day engagement in "The
Thief" Henri Bernstein's greatest
play.
The play Is one Of the thrills from
the start. telling the story of love and
sacrifice in a wonderfully charmins
way. The heroine, a young woman
Of weak character. but with infinite
capacity for love. centers her affec-
tions upon a man OF social position.
Without beauty or wealth she fails to
attract his attention. and in order
to do so steals large sums OF money
from her friends to buy beautiful
clothes.
Her thievery is discovered and the
blame laid on the man, who, knowing
the truth, is silent to shield her. The
love, however. which led her astray
has changed her character and in
moment keenly dramatic she confess
es.
Miss Donnelly holds first rank am
ong the movie emotional actresses. In
THE Thief she has made an excep>
tional success OF her role and has
been ably supported by an all star
cast The gowns that she wears in
the play and which are shown on the
screen cost $4,000 and were selected
especially for the part from the stock
of the best modistes in New York.
London and Paris.

(By Hal Sheridan. Written for the
United Press.)
NEW YORK, Dec. 2l.-The year
1914-the grandest little twelve
month period OF upsets the world OF
sport has ever known-is not likely
to zee a recognized and undisputed
middleweight champion. "There ain't
no sich thing" at present and no
match Is scheduled between now and
the first OF the year that will make
one.
One match wouldn't make one, any
how. II will take several clashes and
some very decided beatings to devel-
Op a middleweight who stands out
clearly enough to have the sash that
once adorned Stanley Ketchel wound
around him. Right now there arc
several middleweights and near-mid-
dleweights claiming to be one and
only champion but not one OF them
has a clear cut claim to the honor.
Jimmy Clabby, globe trotter and
Hammond, Ind, citizen; Jack Dillon
OF indianapolis. Ind; Eddie McGOorty
OF Oshkosh, Wis; and Mike Gibbons Of
ST. Paul, MINI, are the leaders in the
chase after the belt. One bout that
will go long ways toward clearing
up the atmosphere is a twenV-round
clash scheduled for New orleans in
January between Clabby and Nc
GOorty. A decisive victory for one
OF these would put the other In a
position TO claim the championship
and defend It against Gibbons and
Dillon.
Clabby and McGoorty have met sew
eral times. Their last encounter was
in Australia, where the Hoosier was
awarded the verdict on a foul. Pre-
vious 10 that he had gained a twelve
round decision over McGoorty in

after McGoorty had floored him for

that the referee thought he had earn /

contention OF the American note. The
American government maintains that
the belligerent may exercise the right
Of search, but cannot divert neutral
ship to a belligerenp port for further
examination unless proof is shown at

One OF the most far-reaching points

American government argues that the

Of this position on conditional contra

the American government insists that
there should be no interference with

Action on state Laws.

In various suits during the past
rear the constitutionality OF a number
Of state laws was challenged, laws Of
Georgia and Mississippi attempting TO
provide a form Of enforcement Of the
contract Of employment under certain
conditions being declared void, as was
a law of Illinois forbidding the use Of
emery wheels, etc, for polishing proc
esses in Easements, without refer
ence to the actual conditions as to
ventilation, and one Of Louisiana lin.
iting the hours Of labor Of certain
classes Of stationary engineers All
these laws were held to attempt un-
justihable determinations.
The state Of Mississippi still stands
alone with a law regulating the hours
Of labor of factory workers without re-
gard to sex. This law, which was last
year declared constitutional, was
again upheld, as was the ten-hour law
Of Illinois for women, the city Of Chi
cago being mulcted for its violation.
