ATLANTIC FLEET PLAN
Trip Through Panama Canal May Be
Called Off as Matter of
Precaution.

| There is good reason to believe that the
Atlantic Fleet will not be sent through
the Panama Canal to Pacific waters In
July as at present planned by the Sec
| rotary of the Navy. When the announce
ment is made that the fleet cannot I'M
dertake the Pacific journey physical diff
| ficulties in the canal will be cited as the
cause for the change of program. OFF,
cials will not admit it. but there is rea-
son to believe that the strategists Of the
navy insist that at this juncture in the
worlds affairs II would be unwise to
leave the Atlantic coast unprotected. The
strategists are not figuring on war. pos
sibly, but as a matter of precaution they
have advised. it was said yesterday that
the Atlantic Fleet be retained in its
home waters.
The knowledge that the administra ton
has stopped considering whether it is ad-
visable to send the fleet through the
canal became known yesterday follow
ing conference .by Gen. George w.
Cocktails. governor of the Panama Canal
Zone, with officials of the Navy De-
partment. Among others Gen. Goethals
conferred with Secretary of the Navy
Daniels. The Secretary of the Navy ex-
pressed a desire to see Gen. Cocktails to
ASCERTAIN whether it is n certainty that
the fleet could be put through the canal
as planned. 1t is known that the head
of the Navy Department regards the
CANAL situation as such as to make 1t
practically impossible to put the fleet
through the isthmian waterway i'm case
of emergency.
1t was learned Yesterday that the slides
continue in the canal. although ships are
passing through it daily. Gen Cocktails
told tn" Secretary of the Navy. So it is
RI ported that vessels of a draft of more
than thirty feet can not go through the
waterway under their own steam

Seven Keys to Baldpate'.

pate.
This done, Quimby and his wife take
| their leave through the snow. the cold
and the driving wind, down the noun
tain side. leaving the lonely guest to
work out his own salvation. Thus ends
the prologue and one settles down to a
straight stretch of comedy. when. presto.
the action switches to hilarious farce,
interspersed with a sample OF every
melodramatic thrill OF which the novel
writer ever dreamed in even his widest
moments.
To tell the story further would be to
destroy a deal of its delightful mystery
for those who may not have seen it when
1t was so splendidly presented here IN
the fall with George Parson visualizing
the writer chap. and Miss Eva Mae
Francis playing opposite him.
Suffice it to say that in transform
ing Earl Derr Biggers' novel to the
stage Mr.. Conan achieved one of the
lost satisfactory dramatic feats OF his
entire career. proving his genius for
accommodating clever situations and de-
veloping genuine surprises.
And the clever melodrama loses
nothing in point of presentation at the
hands of the Poll Players. for it is ad-
mirably suited to stock as well as to
the varying talents of the leading
members of the company. Albert Ros-
coe giving a clean-cut performance in
his portrayal of the novel writer: Miss
Maud Gilbert. assuming the role OF

~ JULIA CHANDLER MANI.

Now that the dramatic season Of 1914.
Is has rung down the final curtain upon
new productions and we rely upon stock
companies and vaudeville for our amuse.
ment. 1t behooves US to awaken to a full.
er realization of the excellent aggrega.
ton Of dramatic artists now in Wash.

high-class productions Of comparatively
new plays which are being offered every
permanent stock.
And there could be no better week than
the present to achieve this realization.
for the Poll Players are presenting Sew.

Of seasons run in New York was con-
ceded one of the genuine triumphs Of the
dramatic year. Judgment which has been
backed en- tour during the current dra-

When seen here the latter part OF Oc-
tober at 8 prices. l. for one. felt that all
the enthusiastic terms which had been
employed in describing the play fell short.
for. in this melodramatic farce. Conan
and Harris brought US not only the most
meritorious work from the prolific pen OF
George NJ. Conan, but the most delight
fully mystifyinE stage story which had
held the local boards in many a moon.
Seven Keys to Baldpate' Is not the
sort of thing that previous experience
had lead us to expect from Mr.. Conan,
a fact which furnished but one Of the
many surprises of the piece. which is
fairly saturated with the unexpected
from prologue to epilogue. each fresh
mystery so delighting the auditor and
intensifying his interest that. by the time
Of the final curtain. he Is In such an
amiable frame of mind that he Is quite
willing to forgive the daring trickery
the playwright has practiced upon his
audience for the sake of further novelty.
While the program admits but two acts.
the prologue and epilogue round out a
very skillful and complete four, the
former serving to introduce the audience
to William Hallowcll Magee. a young
author Of best Sellers" who has made
wager with his friend. the owner of
BaIdpate Inn. that he can go to the
loneliest spot on earth and write novel
of 10 ono words In twenty-four hours.
A summer hotel on the top of noun
tain in the dead of winter is decided to
represent the quintessente Of desolation.

CIRCUS DRAY LABELED
GERMANY ATTACKED
Cannon Cracker Is Exploded Under
1t. and Later Boys Try 10 Stone
kaisers Portrait.

The police are NOT looking for the
man who yesterday attempted das-
tardly dynamite outrage against Ger
many"
One reason for this inactivity on the
part of the police is that they haven't
heard of 1t. Another is that nobody
knows whether it was a man. woman or
child who attempted the outrage. Still
another is that the object of the attempt
ed outrage Is a circus wagon gorgeously
labeled Germany"
While the clowns and a German band
were performing atop the huge dray at
Ringlngville yesterday afternoon some
one fired cannon cracker under it.
Later a guard was assigned to the cir
Gus wagon to prevent boys from stoning
a picture of the Kaiser that adorned its
front.
