MRS. WIGGS TO BE AT
 rOLPS THIS WEEK

Mrs. wiggs of the Cabbage Patch" is the comedy in which the Poli Play CTS will appear at Polls Hartford theater all this week. Mrs. Wiggs of the play is distressingly poor, she has large family and her erring hus- band has left her to care for her chill dren but in spite of all this Mrs. Wiggs proves a friend to all and is ever caring for their wants. The cur tain rises on Mrs. Wiggs' kitchen, where neighbors drop in to inquire about her husband and other equally digtressing subjects. One of Mrs. Wiggs' neighbors is Miss Hazy, who is engaged to Hiram stubbirs. a un- gainly war veteran. Billy Wigs, the son of the house, enters with Lovey Mary, pretty girl who has escaped from the orphanage and who has her baby brother. Naturally enough the dwellers of the patch look with sus- picion upon Mary and her charge but the goodly Mrs. Wiggs finds room for them in her already overcrowded house and she protects the wanderers. The second act shows. the entrances to- the Wiggs' and Stubbins' houses and Mrs. Wriggs deyotes herself to straightening out the domestic rela- tions of MT. and Mrs. Stubbins. The third act takes place in tue same en- vironment as the second. Word comes that the government has al- lowed MT. Stpbbins' pension and a check for $500 is enclosed. MT. Stub bins asks forgiveness. Just before tho close of the play the erring Mr. Wiggs returns and the curtain drops with peace and happiness reigning MT. Hollingsworth appears in the role of Hiram Stubbins. Miss Skirvin will be Lovey Mary and Madeline Moore returns to the Players after long ill., ness in the role of Miss Hazy. Miss Dalton will be Mrs. Wiggs and the other favorites will have adequate parts. The play will be given a set ting that is unique and the twenty people in the cast will present a not able production of the old favorte There will be the usual two perform ances daily. ,.5

JULIUS STEGER
 IS AT FOX'S TODAY

Among the most popular stage stars who have recently been induced to appear before the camera, none is bet ter known than Julius Steger. who will make his debut in the Shubert photo play production, "The Fifth Commandment'' at Fox's today and tom morrow. The story is replete with heart interest, based on his famous vaudeville offering of the same title, with which he has scored the most remarkable success ever known in that branch of stage entertainment. This play is based upon the Mosaic Father and Thy Mother" Aside from the artistic worth of the splen- did production. it teaches a lesson and arouses the moral sense. It makes the heart throb it instructs, it amuses and it uplifts.
 Editorially, the St Paul Despatch says: The cry of the critics for the ;ast few years has been that plays do not reflect the great truths of life. that they are not elemental, sugges- tive, trivial, or commercial. and for that reason could not be called good
 
 1 most recent plays, that it will be a surprise to theatergoers to know, that there is a serious drama now being ] played that contains so much truth, so much realism, and so much heart l interest that it has caused the critics from New York to San Francisco to 1 hail it as q great play. The name l of the drama is "The Fifth Com l mandmcnt' and Julius Steger is play 1 ing the role of Carl Winters which l is the star part. The moral of the play teaches a creed as old as the l Old Testament. That such a ser | mon can grip the heart when pre- l scented with so. much art was proved ! when the packed house brushed the tears out of their eyes and vocifer- 1 ously demanded that Mir Stegcr should take at least a dozen curtain calls.
 l Besides this excellent attraction the , latest chapter of ''Tko Black Box serial will be shown, as we'll as the latest views iron, tho theater of war. which is shown through the medium 1 Of The Pathe News.

TWO BIG ATTRACTIONS
 COMING TO PARSONS

The long anticipated coming of Charles Frohman's triple alliance of stars, William Gillette, Blanche Bates and Marie Doro, in Victorian Sardous Diplomacy, is scheduled for the Par sons theater, Hartford for three per formances, Friday and Saturday eye- nings and Saturday matinee. The en- gagement marks the return to Hart ford, his home city, of MT. Gillette, after an absence of over four years, his last appearance having been made in Secret Service" and Sherlock lHolmes.' The revival of diplomacy brings back to America Miss Doro, fol- lowing an extremely successful sea- son in London in which she was seen in the same role she is to play here, that of Dora" the heroine Miss Doro capped the climax of her Eng fish triumph by giving a command" performance before the King and Queen at Windsor. Miss Bates is firmly established as a favorite player with Hartford theatergoers She is to play the Countess Zicka'' and in this eXacting role she is credited with having added another to her long list of brilliant and artistic portrayals
 Diplomacy is perhaps to Americans the best known of sardous plays.
 A number of interesting novelties will be crowded into the weeks en- gagement of Robert E. Mantell at Parsons theater, beginning Monday evening, May 10. Of first importance will be his appearance here i'll his massive production of Shakespeare's historical tragedy. King John," so rich in military pageantry and patrio- tic sentiment. Then the opening per- formance in this play Monday night will display the new strength of MT. Mantelfs company.

 Washington, May 3.-Sargeon J.

 While admitting that wlaite clothing has some advantag ges, Surgeon Pryor thinks 1t affords the enemy T target easily tlistinguishable, and in addition is inpracticable becausc so easily soiled To escape snipers at Vera Cruz last year, he says. the American forces in rnany instances colored their white uniforms with improvised dyes, coffee and even mud. Surgeon Pryor believes khaki, olive drab or slate colered material would make more practical uniforms.

WILSON GODFATHER
 FOR HIS GRANDSON
Baby Cries Loudly at Christening Omen of Good Luck-Namcd
 Francis Woodrow Sayrc.

Williamstown. Mass, May 3.-Pres. ident Wilson became the godfather Of his only grandson here yesterday and added to his duties by promisine to safeguard the religious welfare of the child, the son of Mir. and Mrs. Francis B. Sayre. Immediately after ward the president left for Washing ton.
 At the christening service the baby was given the name of Francis Wood row Sayre, the Woodrow being added in honor of his grandfather. Shortly after his birth in the White House his father announced that he would be named simply Francis Sayre, because the president thought he should live his own life. It was said yesterday that the presidents objection had been overcome.
 The president and John Nevin S3yre. the god father, and Miss Agnes Winter, of Philadelphia, the ged- mother, made the responses, promis- ing to guard the spiritual life of the child during his childhood. As Rev Dr. Carter took baby Sayre from his mother for the actual christening, the child cried loudly in protest, but was quickly quieted Superstitious mem bers of the party were pleased when the baby cried, saying if was an omer. of good luck. The services were short and afterward the family went to the

White Satin Skirt of Pompadour Silk Gown Is Smart Thing Just Now
 Clumsy Appearance of Last Winters Frocks Is Wholly Lacking in Pompadour Model-Matrons of Middle Age Like It.

About this bodice is not an atom of extra fulness. It lies hatly put not scantly upon the figure, and rups moethly under the deeply pointed girdle. Despite the stiH narlng skirt, the hips, waist and bust look girlishly slender. Doubtless many 8 girl brought out within the last few m onths will wish to have this model copied, but it is better suited to her mother. Big yellow roses brocaded upon white satin and amber paillettes thickly encrusting net make a gilt tering ensemble not in accord with the questioning expression of the deb utante's eyes. .
 Blue Pompadour Slips.
 Ponapadour silk for an entire bodice suggests certain degree of stiffness. But the stiffness may be rendered picturesque if the fronts arc partly laced and if some sort of transparency wells the silk about the throat. This treatment is accorded to a orocaded bodice in pompadour combination, which, although fitted as closely as an 1880 bssque, has a neck deeply squared at the front ard filled in with crossed folds in sneerest white net. Sleeves of the kdu,e material form balloonlike puffs to the elbow, where they are restrained by frills in em- broidered net matching the trimming on the filrny skirt. Ungored and thickly gathered about the waist, this skirt shows rows of self cordings. and cord headed flat ruffles of the em- broidered transparency. It veils q l slip in pomradour blue satin.
 Matrons of middle age are develop. 1 ing a positive craze for pempadour 1 luncheon costumes. The silks ground l ing is always of sonbre hue and l it's flower pattern in a contrasting dull shade, but gauzy white filling in the neck and yelling the forearns en- lirens the gown and helps to make ii ! becoming.

Of course you may have an entire gown in ponipadour silk. There. is no law. against doing so But to have either the skirt or the bodice of that material and the rest of the gown in embroidered or pailletted net is the smarter way just at present. Whether the skirt or the bodice is in brocade. the cost will be about the same, for fancy nets are not cheap and drsssnnakers who know precisely how to use them expect to be we'll paid for their cleverness and exper- fence. It was not a couturier just beginning her career who directed the putting together of dance gown which may as we'll be worn to din- ners, since at present pra ctically all evening gowns are short.
 Embroidered in Amber Paillettes.
 The white satin skirt on which yell low roses of varying sizes look as though they had been dropped in the m 1ost casual manner is attached to it's belt in scant side pleats. Cor ing causes it to ripple generously be- low the knees. A petticoat of amber paillette- embroidered white net shows itself only at the front, for the bro- CdQSu SkiIL uFopS Io WiIHln IOuf inches Of the floor at sides and back Yet so graceful are it's folds that the difference in their length is scarcely noticeable.
 The punched, almost clumsy appear ance which Last winters evening frocks gave to many debutantes is wholly lacking in this pom padou, model, chiefly because of it's girdle This affair, entirely in amber beads is very narrow across the back ant beneath the arms, but from the side, gradually widens into a sharp poin, m inch or so below the bust Smooth ly it lies against q plastron of pailletted net joining two scarfs of the same material, which. by crossing the shoul. ders form bodice having square decolletage and kin1ono sleeve cabs.

and the energy he displayed to get
the lands approved to Louisiana and
have the titled vested in the state.
Mr.. Grace's mistake was III urg-
ing the passage Of Act No. 283 of
1914. But may not Mr.. Grace been
fooled in this like the others? MI.
Grace has not made a statement.
He may defend the passage OF this
act for all we know. But if the
two committees of the house and
senate were fooled when they en-
dorsed the law, if the general as
sembly was fooled in its passage.
if the newspaper men, who are al
ways looking for snakes in meas
ures, were fooled, and if the gov
ernor was fooled in signing it, may
not Mr.. Grace also have been de-
ceiyed? We don't say he was.
He may have gone at the whole
thing with his eyes open, but if
every one else was deceived it was
certainly possible for Mr.. Grace to
have been misled.
It is hardly fair to convict him
on this point until there has been
fuller evidence presented. It is
certainly unfair to damn him fer
getting the islands approved to the
state from the federal government.
The Clarion takes the position
that the people of st. Landry, many
of whom are personal friends of
Mr.. Grace, should await further
development and should not base
their opinions solely on the say Of
the New Orleans newspapers. The
best authorities in the state differ
with the Times-Picayune on this
and Mr.. Grace, therefore,
should not be judged guilty, before
ne is proven guilty.

candidates, when elected are goinI
to do. They may rest assured
that many Of them have some spe.
cial purpose or object in view
known only to themselves. w,
will be flooded with platforms, prin.
cipally negative instead of con
atructive, and so I am inclined f
think the average voter will know
nothing in advance of what meas.
ure or reform his delegate is COINS
to support or oppose.
But in regard to the provision
herein stated the voter can instruct
his delegate to support and advo-
cate it.
To do that, the voters need only
to meet together and pass a reso-
luton containing the provision and
demand of each candidate that. il
elected, he will support and vote
for it in the Convention; or a peti-
ton to the same effect signed by
the voters, addressed to all the can
didates would be equally effective.
II a candidate refuses to support it,
vote against him.
If this could be done all over the
State, | think public sentiment
would develop to such an extent
as to force the money lender to
submit.
Of course the cry will go forth
that a law of this kind will drive
capital out Of the State and pre-
vent IFS coming in. The answer to
this is, that if capital will not
come or stay in the State except
on the ground that it be allowed to
exact extortionate rates of interest.
it had better be kept out. But this
is mere bluff and the voter should
pay no attention to it.
Public sentiment forced the pas
sage of the antitrust bills in the
recent session of the Legislature
against the opposition of the mon
led classes which urged all such
arguments as this in vain.
In conclusion | say, in all sim
that I am no enemy of cap
ltalists, of banks or monied men.
| do not believe that the foregoing
provision if adopted would result in
any material injury to them, but it
would be a boon to the people.
If the monied man did not wish
to lend his money at that rate, he
would in my Judgment, invest his
money in enterprises which he be-
would give greater returns.
Such a thing | know is impossi-
BILE, but if interest on money were
forbidden, imagination could not
forecast the change it would make
our Country. Money then would
