just ended an entire years engage
ment at the Gaiety theater in New
York. Last winter, during limited
California tour, the play smashed
every record in the history of the
state by running for five weeks at the
Columbia theater in San Francisco.
The Significance of this achievement
is realized by a knowledge of the fact
that no other play in the theatrical
history of California had been offered
prior to the Daddy Long Legs" en-
gagement for a period of time
greater than three weeks in any two
dollar theater west of Chicago. Mr..
Miller is sending to this city one of
the most brilliant casts he ever as
sembled, and the play has the addi-
tional advantage of exceedingly eIab-
crate and costly stage settings.

Realistic Bowery Scenes In the Great

Realistic Bowery Scenes In the Great
New Film, The Regeneration"
It is safe to say that there has
never been scene filmed so true to
life as that of Chicory Hall in ''The
Regeneration, which has been re-
leased by William Fox, several re-
markable fights take place in this
Bowery Dive and Director Walsh took
many weeks in securing the types he
needed. Most of them were of that
vicious Bcwery breed that would
rather fight than eat, and make
believe fight means nothing to them.
The instant that the director gave the
word to start things, they started, and
started right so far as they were con-
cerned. In one scene three men were
knocked unconscious. In another
scene mans eye was badly torn and
there were several strained backs in
the fight. For actual fire and atmos-
phere, there is no question but that
these scenes of underworld life will
be the strongest ever presented on
the screen of the Isis. The picture
is showing today.

RESIGNATION OF D.
". NESACCEPTED,.
SUCCESSOR NAMED
JAMES o'BRTEN, WHO WORKED
IN DEPARTMENT FOR SOME
TIME, ELECTED TO FILL VA
GATED POSITION.

At a special meeting Of the city
commissioners, which was held YES
terday forenoon, Dan W. Jones, who
had been in the street department for
the past eight to ten years, rendered
his resignation, with the request that
it be accepted at once, and that ac-
ceptance of same be given to him in
writing. The resignation was accent
ed, after the passage of a resolution
certifying to the existence of irregu-
larities in the street department, and
James O'Brien was elected to fill the
position as street superintendent. Mr..
O'Brien is qualified for the job, hav-
ing served for several years under
John Burns, admittedly the best su-
perintendent of streets the city has
ever worked. Mr.. Burns showed UP
at the city hall shortly after he had
been elected and was told to report
for duty this morning.
As soon as the meeting was called
to order yesterday morning, til
mayor announced that the commits
sioners had been convened in special
session for the purpose of taking ac-
ton on the question of the irregu-
larities reported to have been dis
covered in the street department.
Those Irregularities, the mayor in
ferred, had been discovered, having
been brought to light following the
investigation which had been conduct
ed by Commissioner Thos. johnson.
The following resolution was then
offered and unanimously passed:
Resolved, That from the investi-
cation made by us of the irregular
tiles in the payroll of street employees
for the period dating September Is
to October Is, 1915, which were re
ported to us by the commissioner of
streets and parks, we find
"That the alleged irregularities ex-
listed and were caused by the street
superintendent reporting certain en-
ployes to be entitled to pay for work
on certain days when they did not
work, and had informed him that
sickness had prevented them from
working;
pretended his authority in the mat
ter and is chargeable with neglec1 of
duty, but not of Intentional wrhg-
doing;
"That said Irregularities have been
corrected and said employees have not
been, and will not be, paid for any
day on which they did not work"
immediately upon the acceptance
and passage of this resolution,
communication conveying the resig-
nation of Dan W. Jones as street
superintendent, was read and it was
accepted. In rendering his resigna-
ton, Mr.. Jones said that he wished
to take this opportunity of emphati-
cally disclaiming any wrong-doing of
any kind during his term of Office,
but he said, he was frank to admit
that on several occasions he had paid
sums to members of the street force
on account of sickness, but in so
doing he thought his action was abb
solutely correct as he had only fol-
lowed the custom which had been
firmly established by his predeces-
sors in Office during period of ten
years or more. He then asked that
action on the resignation be taken at
once, and that notice of said action. be
furnished him in writing.
The name of Mr.. O'Brfen was then
presented, and he was unanimously
elected to succeed Mr.. Jones.

SENATOR STONE HOLDS
SINKING WAS LEGAL
Head of Foreign Relations Com
mittee Asserts Lusitania
Same as British Soil.

WASHINGTON, May S.-Senator stone,
chairman Of the Foreign Relations Com
mttee OF the Upper House of Congress,
issued the following statement at noon
concerning the Lusltanias destruction:
THE tragedy Is, of course, to be pro-
foundly regretted. If the reports as to
the loss of life are true the sympathes
Of the civilized world Will be deeply
stirred. But for us 1t seems to me that
good sense dictates that we keep our
heads until we get our bearings. It is
bad time to get rattel and act impuls-
lively. Don't rock the boat
Without expressing an opinion as to our
relations to this event or as to our duty
in the premises. there are some facts we
cannot overlook and are bound to con-
slider. We cannot overlook the fact that
the Lusitania was a British ship flying
the British flag, and subject at any time
to he put into the actual naval service OF
the Government.
Indeed, 1t is stated that at the time
she was attacked she was carrying mill
tary reservists to England for service in
the British army. True there were Amer
lean citizens aboad, but II must not be
forgotten that they went aboard a bel
lgerent ship with full knowledge Of the
risk. and after official warning by the
German Government. When on board a
British vessel they were on British soil
Was not their position substantially
equivalent to being within the walls of
a fortified city? If Americans citizens
stay within a city besieged or threatened
and the enemy attacks, what should our
Government do If our citizens should be
injured? l express no opinion at this
time. l am merely suggesting reasons
why we should maintain our equilibrium
and not rock the boat until we know
what we are about.
Aside from the possible loss OF Amer
lean lives, let us ask ourselves Just where
we come in.
AT the present moment and with the
lights now before me I confess that It
appears to me that from our standpoint
as neutral nation the Gulflight case
presents n more delicate and serious COM
plication than the case OF the Lusltania."

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, May s.-"Canni-

Wiener. of the department of Slavic
Languages at Harvard. today in comment
ing on the sinking of the LusitanIa. "The
sinking is a horrible example of the
length to which Germany will go TO
achieve her purposes. There is nothing
else to say, It's horrible. I can only
hope that the Administration will sever
diplomatic relations with Germany"
The general sentiment at Harvard
seems to be with Professor Wiener: but
Teuton defenders are by no means want
ing. Prof. John A, Walz, head OF the
German department. said that Germany
had to sink the Lusitania TO break down
the British blockade of Germany. Pro-
fessor Berwith agreed with his colleague.
He said: Germany had TO sink the
Lusitania. What Is the difference between
drowning people and starving them to
death? II seems 10 me that the latter
is the more humane. l do believe. though,
that the captain OF the submarine should
have permitted the passengers to leave
the ship In safety"

BRITAIN TO PROTECT
ROUTES OF LINERS
Sinking of Lusitania Expected
to Change Naval Policy-Re-
cruiting Greatly Stimulated.

LONDON May 8.
The sinking of the Lustania is expected
to bring about important changes in the
naval policy OF England, and some per-
sons expressed the belief today that 1t
may result in the departure of First Lord
of the Admiralty Winston Churchill from
the cabinet. More ships will be placed
under command of Vice Admiral Sir
Charles Coke. commanding on the Irish
coast to protect the trade route fol-
lowed by the transatlantic liners, and 1t
is expected that in the future all liners
from the United States will be met by
warships and escorted through the war
zone waters to port.
Recruiting throughout the Empire today
has been greatly stimulated and large
numbers are expected to flock to the
coors over the weekend The spirit of
vengeance seems at last to have pene
trated the British calm and there is far
greater Indignation everywhere expressed
against the Germans than ever before.
Tho Manchester Guardian today, after
reviewing the tragedy, says:
'The submarine campaign now has en-
tered into new phase which Is marked
by even greater recklessness for innocent
lives than has gone before
The Liverpool Post says:
IF Germany had desired to have the
power of the United States thrown into
the scales of war against herself she
couldn't have chosen a more effective
method of making her wish known
The Westminster Gazette says:
"If we cannot re-establish q law maxi
ing it binding obligation to respect the
lives of noncombatants; IL one of the re-
suits of this war is to give the nations un-
limited rights of assassination at sea,
then we will plunge the world into well
ter of savagery which will grow in pro-
portion as science improves the weapons
for slaughter. These atrocities but harden

war until we have redeemed ourselves
