MAJESTIC VAUDEVILLE

1t was an all-new, all-star bill of
Keith vaudeville that the eager first
audience of variety fans witnessed at
the Majestic this afternoon. The nice
taste of vaudeville that was handed
out there as an opening bill is indeed
improved upon by the present offering
and this seemed to be the consensus of
opinion of the big audience that was
in attendance this afternoon. The bill
starts in lively fashion by a spirited
song and dance turn offered by the
Three English Girls, who live up to
their reputation of being "madcap
dancers" Walter Brewer has some
thing very novel and entertaining in
the way of comedy monologue and
the Wharry Lewis Four, three young
women and q man. offering a beautiful
vocal and instrumental turn. It is
beautifully staged and the talent of
the artists is far above the average.
The fun of the bill, and in fact it's
enough for a whole show, is the
screeching bit of tomfoolery in which
Cantor and Lee appear. Cummins and
Seham, vaudeville's best-known COM
edy tumblers, caused a riot of laugh
ter, their every move and foolish feat
of daring causing unrestrained laugh
ter. New and interesting feature films
are also ed.-Advertisement.

CROOKER'S CENSUS.
The Figures. Percentages and State

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUS-Sir: Your
correspondent Joseph IL Crookcr In to-
days STS shows the characteristics Of
all the proAibitlon.sts by his willingness

figures. To my mind Crookor, unlike most
proh|!bitionists, II taken In time may be
saved as a rational being. FOR he dis
plays "A sense OF humor and cannot him
self believe his foolish twaddle.
Where did Crooker get his informa-
ton that the efficiency OF drinking labor
ors Is decreased 10 per cent He guessed
It probably. and meant to refer TO
drunken laborers.
Who told him that the drinkers are
last to be hired and first fred? Most
likely some other prohibltionist. Again
he meant to refer 70 the drunk"
Crookcr says that It is well known
that the thinker IL first TO get sick and
last 20 get well. He did not mean TO
say that. he referred to the drunk"
Again his narrow mind caused him to
state that so per rent. of the accidents
are due to drink, To give this state
mcnt backing, he says: 1T has been
shown"
When and where was IT shown that 30
per cent. OF the accidents are due to
drink? Get out your statistics. Crooker.

Thirty Convincing Arguments.

No more convincing arguments in
favor of votes for women could be
devised than those which were pre-

At n time when seemingly every

Of the land Is devoted to the confu-

He has chosen to make his leaving

grave international complication. He
deliberately does all that lies in his
power to create n prejudice against
the note to he sent To Germany to-
day. n note whose contents are still
unknown to the public. His remark
ably tender sense of duty makes him
forget that he owes IA duty to the
United States.
Instead. and here is the injury that
he can do. by creating II semblancc

than to the sophisticated resident on
Manhattan Island. This has been
much truer Of the H%ippodrome dur
ing recent years, for the wax works
have long ceased to play any impor-
tant part In local theatrical life.
One Of the difficulties always to he
encountered by the managers who
take charge Of the Hippodromc Is the
fickleness Of the New York public. 1t
cannot keep up It's interest In any
institution which offers the same
kind OF entertainment year after
year. Whether 1t be spectacle or
drama. the public loses its interest
after n few years. 1t Is for this
reason that the restoration of the
stock companies Is out of the ne
ton again in this city. The public
soon wearies of the actors in tie
same surroundings. Spectacle must
he ever better II any theatre devoted
to 1t would succeed for any period.
Ultimately public Indifference will

The opera maintains its place year

the few citizens who retained their

could save their city.
There remained in the community
n few veteran volunteer tiremen and a
handful of surviving police pensioners

presided over by Aleck Williams. These
devoted men. naturally drawn together
by instructive horror of the excuses

WHO OWNS THE HIGHWAYSf
Are They the Exclusive Property Of
the Electric Car Compnnies?

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Str: Can
you inform me why 1t Ia that the city
authorities permit the Third Avenue,
Union or Yonkers Street railroad to pull
up the pavement OF Broadway for about
a mile north of the elevated station at
Van Cortlandt Park and obstruct the
traffic of the street?
This pavement has been torn up for
something like three weeks and a gang
of workmen seems to be working at the
joints OF the rails.
II II Is necessary 70 have this work
done could 1t not be done in short sec
tons so as not to interfere with the
immense traflc OF that t~horoughfare for
80 great a distance and for such a length
OF time?
In addition, these trolley companies
have three tracks or the road bed ad-
Joining the north end of the elevated
station and frequently four cars, n
occasionally six. stand there waiting for
passengers, choking the highway so that
It Is impossible for other vehicles to get
through.
1t would seem that these companies
have great influence with the city au-
thorities as well as with the Legislature,
for 1t is the same influence that sue
ceeded in having the repeater of the
Burns law made n party measure and
passed at the late session and only for
the Intervention OF the State Highway
authorities and the veto of the Cover
nor. which. by the way. was n most
laudable act on his part. these same
railroad companies would be pushing
their tracks on broadway VI to larry
town.
one would think from the way the
trolley companies take possession OF and
ohstruct the tranic in the streets OF
cities and highways IN the country that
autonohillsts and vehicles generally
nave no rights which such companies
are bound TO respect.
The a~utomobilists are now paying
into the Treasury OF the state some
thing like $4,000 annually In licenses
for the privilege OF travelling over the
highways, and ought that not give them
some rights and privileges? Has not
the time come when these powerful
traction companies should acquire and
pay for their right OF way where they
| desire TO build roads the same as steam
roads are obliged TO do, since certainly
the highways, as laid out In the early
days, are not now wide enough to per
nit OF trolley cars In addition to other
vehicles? TRAVELLER.
