HOLD CUARDSMEN FOR FAILURE TO
 MEET U. s. CALL
War Department Officials Will Courtmartial Texas
 Militia.

Washington, May 25.-Reversing his previous decision, Secretary Baker an- rounced today that the 116 members or the Texas National Guard who failed to present themselves for mus tel. into the federal service will be brought to court martial immediately under the present law. MT. Baker had intended to await the signing of the new militia law now before the Pres ident and proceed under it's provis- ions.
 Secretary Baker explained his ac- ton by pointing out the difference in the enlistment oaths guardsmen ara required to take under the Dick law and the new Chamberlain bill. The Dick law requires on obligation to defend the constitution and obey orders of the governor of the state but not the orders of the President. The Hay-ChamberIain act requires an oath to obey orders of both the governor and the President.
 Upon recommendation of Judge Ad- vocate General Crowder, the secretary has decided that the alleged offense the guardsmen-refusing to present themselves for nuSter-was committed under the Dick law and trial should be under that law.
 It was stated officially at the war department today that General Fun ston had never requested that the Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklohoma na tionaI guard be called out for bor- der service as reported. General Fun ston asked for additional coast arti1 lery, but the department decided it was not needed at present.

New York papers, discussing the trial of Dr. Arthur Warren Waite on a charge of poisoning his wealthy father-in-l law, comment on his calm demeanor in court. It was asserted that Waite, in covetousness of the Peck millions, had accomplished his father-in-1aw's death with 25 cents worth of poison. Waite's peculiar sense of humor was shown when he permitted a grin to cover his face while Eugene Oliver Kane, the ern- palmer of Peck's body, told how Waite had tried to bribe him with ST, 800 to put arsenic in the emba1ming fluid.

STAGE SOCIETY ACTS
WELL IN NEWEST BILL
Five Playlets, All But One of Which
Are Very Well Done

The seventh production of the Stage
Society is chiefly notable for its good
acting. Four of the five playlets had an
ensemble as well as individual playing
which was well nigh perfect The nearest
thing to the typical amateur incapability.
which usually crceps into the minor roles.
was supplied by the otherwise talented
player who insisted on imagining that
hand Is pronounced "hond" and that
"stonding," "domned' and "understond''
are the stage equivalents of much more
common expressions.
The good acting applied to four differ
ent pieces. One, "Impudence" translated
by BENJAMIN f. Glazer from the original
of Raoul Aurenhemer is a fairly amusing
but not too crystal clear comedy of de-
ceving husband, who puts the lover into
fools cap while the lover in turn looks
askance at the too willing wife In THE
Guest the Society has very Cleverly
adapted one of Lord Dunsany's grim little
tales to the stage by emitting all but
the dialogue II shows a diner waiting
for the guest who will come with the cof-
fee-Death James Montgomery Flagg has
contributed a little sketch which appeared
in his 81 Should Say SO" department in a
monthly magazine. 1t acuuaints us with
the suburbanite who takes his cook to
Delmonico's every Saturday night to keep
her working the rest of the week
The bulk of the entertainment at the
Little Theatre last night was Synges
"Riders to the Sea" that most poignant
of plays which the Irish Players brought
us few seasons back. It calls for some
unusually good acting to match the power
and color of its speech. II got such act
ing last night from Miss Baer Miss Ken
nedy and Miss Dade.
The fifth play on the program passion
Poison and Petrifaction." by Bernard
Shaw. was so badly acted that It became
clear that of all the pieces of the ove-
ming this burlesuue sketch needed the best.
Large and preposterous events such as
trying to save n poisoned lover by feeding
him on plaster, only to find him turned to
a statue. need large and preposterousy
serious acting. They didn't get it last
night though they did get dellciously
