tor James Ham Lewis, of IIlinots,
startled his colleagues today when he
declared that the reason the president
was SO anxious to settle the tolls con-
troversy in way satisfactory to Great
Britain was to prevent the occupation
of Mexico by England, Germany and
France The senator went further
and predicted that in case such thing
came to pass Russia would seize
Alaska, and Japan would take the
Philippines and Hawaii, and attack the
Pacific coast.
Senator Lewis dashed this solemn
warning off in a matter of fact way,
which caused his colleagues to look at
him with an expression of incredulity.
He calmly asserted that this was the
real motive behind the presidents

to delicate international relations as .
reason for recedng from the legiSla-
Ition giving toll exemption.
Monroe Doctrine Fails?

They will say to us that we are too
late; that in invading China, in aiding
the construction of a railway there,
in placing our flag over Hawaii and
the Philippines. we have made q
world nation of this country, and can
not longer hold out the world from
entering America
Then when we would be forced to
move our army into Mexico, which
there is little doubt, public sentiment
would force us to do, what would hap

"RicheIieu."

Robert w. Mantell opened his
three-day engagement at the Academy
in Shakesperean and classic repertoire,
"Richelieu." last night before a small
house. Mantell is the same Mantell
Could writer say more? In his Won
derfuI Interpretation of the cardinal,
the actor was superb. Taking the
career of the man who raised France
To the heights of her destiny, he por-
trayed as never before that militant
churchman, who ruled king and court,
Mr. Mantell held his audience spell
bound. In the quavering tones of the
aged statesman, when he denounced
the treachery of the fawninE courtiers,
he brought forth storm of applause,
and after each scene he was called be-
fore the curtain by encore after en-
core.
He did not restrict himself strictly
to plot His Interpretation was more
of q character sketch of Richeleu. In
every sense, his performance was of
the highest type and every action of
the actor was above criticism. 1t is
not often that one has the chance to
witness such historical repetition as
that of last night. Mr.. Mantelrs re-
production carries you back to the
days of the lisping Louis XIII, and as
you see the aged statesman lettering
on the brink of the grave, rising al
most from q Stupor to take the reins
of government from a mincing king,
you lose all sense of the present, so
realistic is the Interpretation.
Mr.. Mantell is backed by several
very able actors. but in several places
the cast is weak. In the reproduc-
ton of the classics. the female parts
are usually taken by women. seasoned
with age and experience. With Mr.
Mantell are several charming young
actresses whose interpretations are ex-
cellent. Miss Genevieve Hamper, as
Julie De Mortemar, was very prettily
played. Miss Hamper is both young
and beautiful. Her talent is far above
the average. Miss Ruth Blackburn,
as Marion De Lorme, a spy for Rich
eiieu, although taking a slight part.
displayed great talent The male
parts were rather weak. The leads.
especially. were overdone. except that
of the king. Edward Levers played
the dandy very ably. The whole plot
of intrigue and treachery was beau
tifuIly worked cut and very instruC-
tiee. Richmond theatergoers should
see the work of Mantell to enjoy the
beauty Of the classics.
