VOTE ON SHIPPING BILL
IN LOWER HOUSE TODAY
Less than a Seventh of Measure
Considered for Amendment.

Washington, May 1s.-The second
day of debate on the Administration
shipping bill closed in the House to-
right without any substantial change
being made in the measure. All debate
will close tomorrow afternoon, and
although less than one-seventh OF the
bill has been considered for amendment
thus far, Democratic leaders tonight
expressed confidence that it would go
without material amendment. They
are extremely uncertain, however. re-
garding its probable fate in the Senate.
Representative Bennett, of New York.
occupied most Of the time to-day in
proposing general amendments. Rep
resentatives Humphrey, of Washing
ton, and Towner. of Iowa, made futile
attempts TO strike out the provision
designed to give the Secretary OF the
Navy and the Secretary of Commerce
places on the shipping board. They in
sisted that the presence OF members
of the Administration on the broad
would embarrass other members and
prevent them from giving their best
services.
Speaker Clark took the floor in behalf
Of the bill. and Minority Leader Mann
spoke against It.

THEDA BARA AT THE GRAND.

The fine acting of the four play CTS that practically carry the whole of the story the Clemenceau Case, the Dumas masterpiece that is playing at the Grand Wednesday and Thursday night, gives the picture force. Alexander Dumas object in writing this story was to show that there was divine being who pun ishes indulgence and rewards the good and true. The three vices he pictures to you is Immodesty, In gratitude and Sensuality. Theda Bara, the talented leading woman, studied the role of Iza in Paris for the William Fox production of "The Clemenceau Case" The giant king Python which carresses Miss Bara was brought especially from the Bronx Zoo with it's Hindu keeper. The rare Chinese Idols seen in Izas Boudoir, are the real thing from the collection of J. P. Morgan, now on exhibition at the New York metro politan museum, and are worth in the neighborhood of $250,000. Lit tie Jane Lee. that plays the child's part, is only 4 years old.

If he does get it through the people of Ketchikan and Southeastern Alaska in general will be greatly indebted to him; and if he .does not succeed they should show their appreciation for the hard fight he has put up.

LADIES CHORUS FULL
 Of HARMONY
BEAUTIFUL MUSIC WELL PRO- DUCED BY THE WOMEN IN
 THE "MIKADO."

In writing the music for the "Mikado" Sir Arthur Sullivan gave more opportunity for the women's voices than in many of his operas which usually are essentially fol men.
 The Three Little Maids" art well known and popular character: whenever operatic music is heard and no three ladies could better suit the part than Mrs Collins, as Yum Yum. Mrs. Warder, as Pitt Sing and Miss Ruth Hall as Peep Bo.
 Mrs. Warder has taken part ir the Mikado before so was somewhat familiar with the opera and is bet ter able to interpret role of Petit Sing than most amateurs It is really a difficult part to do we'll and Mrs. Warder is meeting all re quirements. The part of Peep Be has but little singing in it, and those who heard Miss Hall in Queen Esther and her other solo work in Ketchikan will wish there was more for her in this opera.
 Mrs. Collins is making an ex- cellent "Yum Yum" and the music of the 'sThree Little Maids" will be enjoyed by every lover of harmony They are we'll supported by a fine chorus of over twenty ladies and the costuming of the entire aggregation is most pleasing and harmonious ir its color scheme.
 Reserve your seats early for the performance on Monday and Tues day evenings

PROF. GEORGESON'S
 SPLENDID LECTURE
EIGHTEEN YEARS IN Ai.ASk ! IN CHARGE OF AGRIC SL.
 TURAL WORK.

Prof, c. c Georgeson gave an intensely interesting lecture on tae possibilities of agriculture in Aiss- ka, illustrated by steroptican st es. a hundred or more, which helped greatly in making xhe audience real ize the wonderful results achieved at the different experimental sta tions throughout Alaska and by the individual market gardne and farmers all over the terrific.
 Prof Georgeson, who previo 10 his coming north was for years To- lessor of the Agricultural Coege of Kansas, is a man of remarkable learning in the science of his pro- fession, and one who speaks most convincingly and without exaggera- tion. He unconsciously impresses his listeners with the fact that there can be no task too difficult or in tricate to balk him in obtaining sat- isfactory results, and that he has unlimited patience as well. These no doubt are the factors which have made him so successful in his work.
 Prof. Georgeson gave an outline of his work done since it's inception in Alaska, when in 1898 he was first placed in charge of the experi- mental work of agriculture in the territory During the eighteen years of his continuous residence he has accomplished marvels in his obser- vation and experimental work, which have at last brought him recognition and more liberal appropriation from Washington with which to further his progress in agriculture, the benefit of which is inestimable to all Alaskans. Indeed the lecture was the very best ever given on Alaska and was greatly appreciated by the audience.
 The professor, accompanied by Mrs. Georgeson, is now on his way

Washington, D, c. Feb. H. "Sheerness is the pivot point in the English blockade of the North Sea and control of all the channel waters,' according to war geogra- phy sketch just given out by the Ma tional Geographic Society. This port, situated behind a powerful shel- ter of fOrtification on the southern shore of the Thames estuary, is the strategic nerve center of the great English war fleet, as regards it's cam paign in West-EurOpean waters Portsmouth it is true, is the first naval port and arsenal of Britain, and the threads directing war upon the seas run from this port to every quarter of the world. However, it is at Sheerness, and neighboring Chat ham, that the battleships, destroyers, scout cruisers and torpedo boats have their base for the patrolling of chan nel waters, for the closing of the seas to the north,- and for guarding the troop and munitions communications from Dover and Brighton to Calais and BoulOgne.

LEARNING SOMETHING EVERY
 DAY

This same Clifford Thorne who now devotes his energy and ability to a scathing denunciation of Louis D. Brandeis, President Wilson'c appoint tee to the bench of the Supreme Cou1 t, is known in railroad circles as one of the most fanatical and bitter Oppon- ents the celebrated Eastern rate case knew. Every time there was a hear ing on railroad rate increase before the Interstate Commerce Commission parts west, was there to see that the railroads were blocked in their ."cVi1 designs" Thorne now paints Brandeis as a friend of the railroads whereas shortly after the Brandeis appoint ment was announced there was a howl and hubbub against the Boston man because of his antipathy to these interests. Truly there are two sides to all things if we just but wait to learn. We may next hear that Bran deis was in the pay of the New Haven while he was assisting former Cover nor Joseph Folk, of Missouri, in the famous Interstate Commerce Commis- sion investigation year or two ago.

Thrown around the port are a chain of formidable modern Notifications opposing such armament as would make attack on an enemy almost impossible. There are also extensive barracks here, and acres of warehouse space piled high with naval stores. Residences for the ad- miral of the home fleet and other naval officers constitute the most inn portant part of the city.
 The dockyard of Sheerness, equip ped for the carrying out of all kinds of naval repairs, covers about 60 acres, including three basins and large modern docks. The harbor IS a spa cious and excellent one. Sheerness is primarily a war harhor, with little importance as a place of trade. It has fallen once before the attack f a hostile feet but that was before the days of formidable ordnance, when the Dutch admiral De Ruyter cap- tured the fort of Charles at Sheerness on July 10, 1867. It is unthinkable that De Ruyter's achievement could be repeated today in the face of the towns mighty, up-to-date defenses.''

Pay Up Week.
(Waterbury Democrat.)

Some ingenious people have con- ceived the idea of a national Pav-Up week, to be observed February 21-26; when everyone should be exhOrted to pay his debts. The American people need a little prodding on this poirt. They have joyous habit of throwing bills into the waste basket that does not promote general business pros perity. Not every one who let's his bills go unpaid is indifferent about it.
 Many people would gladly pay all they them. But with many other persons, the more easily they could pay, the less ready they are to do it. It would make them very tired to sit down monthly and write off a dozen checks
 By letting the bills run, they can do it all in one job. This saves them much hard work. Yet they may have idle money in banks. Some business men allow bills to run to save q trifle of interest. losing which would offend their thrifty souls. Of course the creditor is meanwhile losing interest
 But creditors are considered grasping creatures who have all the money they need.

Patriotism Is Good Politics.
(Waterbury American.)

The Democrats in the House of Representatives are losing the oppor- tunity of a lifetime and the Republi- cans are grasping 1t, with breathless ecstacy, as an unhoped for gift of the gods. While Claude Kitchin, anointed leader of the majority, sulks in the back rows, James R. Mann rallies the Republican cohorts under the banner of patriotism and sweeps the Presi- dents program of preparedness to victory. .Kitchin and the group which he represents are unaltera bly, opposed to preparedness in any form A low species of political instinct tells them that open opposition means destruction, but the higher instinct is absent which would prompt them to seize this nettle of adversity with a firm grasp and transmute it into the flower of victory.
 And so MT. Mann, casting aside the cynical facetiousness of minority leader, takes his stand on the rock of

If Ger many could win command of the Atlantic she would be in a position to end the war quickly. France would be isolated and Great Britain would soon starve. The flow of food and supplies to the allies from overseas would cease instantly. It would be risking the future empire of the world on one great sea fight, for the losers would be utterly crushed. For the central empires to make the attempt, then, will signify a desper- ate state.

Will the War End on the Sea-.
Waterbury Republican,

English newspapers think they see signs that the German and Austrian navies are planning a great stroke. The prediction is that they will make d dash to sea, either by steaming out and offering battle or by attempting to join in order to attack the Suez canal, with land expedition co-op- erating, or by making detached raids, to allow a number of Moewes to slip through the lines to raid allied commerce. There is intense activity at the headquarters of the Teutonic fleets which may or may not be i'm tended to mislead the allies.
