TALENTED READER
HERE FEBRUARY e

Much interest has been aroused in
tie forthcoming appearance in this
city of Nine. Harriet Labadie, who will
give a dramatic Interpretation of "A
Dolls House" on Feb. 29, at the Y. M.
C. A, under the auspices of Y. M c. A.
Nine Labadie is a woman of cul-
ture and high ideals, and in addition
possesses distinction, beauty and a
magnetic force that attracts and holds
| her audience AS a dramatic inter-
prefer of plays, she is acknowledged
by critics to be without an equal. The
critic of the Rochester Herald New
York; writes:
Merely as an entertainment Nine.
Labadie gave her audience a genuine
and memorable treat, while as an art
istic exposition of the possibilities of
dramatic reading, it amounted to
veritable triumph.
"The elements of Nine. Labadie's art
are somewhat difficult to analyze. She
presents real living characters. Just
how she does it is hard to say. In ord
mary evening dress, without teh as
sistance of effects of any kind, and
without at any time moving dozen
steps from the center of the stage, she
yet succeeds in placing before her
hearers the separate and widely vary
ing figures of the play. And these
characters are all distinct snd sharply
defined. BY the modulations of an ex-
quisite voice, by an indeflnable some
thing which amounts scarcely to more
than suggestions the effect is pro-
duced, and the audience sees and rec
ognizes the characters which she her
self perfectly visualizes.
Mime. Labadie's visit was a real
privilege to Rochester and it is to be
regretted that she saw fit to give only
one performance here"

Willis, mysteriously missing business
man and prominent citizen, was not
the victim of crime. OF this the po.

What he was doing in Marietta no,

Mr. Willis was man of high char

WANT TO RAISE THE
STANDARD OF FOLKS

PANAMA, Feb. 25.-Many govern
men,a' leaders in Latin-America frown
on the work of the churches and con-
tend that religion elads to immortality,
according to report submitted today
t. the Congress on Religious Work,
which is in session here, by the Com
mission on Cooperation and Promo
ton of Unity.
At the same time the Commission
reported that the great majority of the
public men of the Southern republics
were fully alive to the urgent import
ance of raising the moral character
and ideals of their fellow citizens and
were willing to lend their aid to any
movement which they believed would
tend to that result.
THE great majority of governmental
leaders in atin-America, says the re-
port, recognizes the necessity and
importance of high morals character
in their people; unfortunately only
minority believe that the desired char
acter can be achieved by means of the
Christian religion. Not few stoutly
contend that religion leads to immor-
atty. Evidence is not wanting that CO.
operation will be given by govern
ments and officials to any agency that
demonstrated its desire and ability to
meet the physical, moral and intellec-
tual needs of the people. Several gov
ernments are active in campaigns for
sanitation, Off better housing of the
industrial classes, and for the recep-
ticn and assimilation of immigrant
people"
The Commission records striking
examples of governmental aid giver
to educational Instructions conducted
by missionary societies, notably in
Bolivia, Chile, Argentina and Brazil.
Theactivities of the Young Mems
Christian Association, in particular,
have been given hearty support in var
ious Latin-American republics. In
promoting this cooperation and in
furthering all efforts to improve NOR
FL and religious conditions in Latin
America the Pan-American Union in
Washington has taken notable part,
says the report:
AS the result of it's investigation the
Commission recommends a publicity
bureau for keeping the claims of
Latin-America before the Christian
world, central publishing plants, a
joint survey of the educational condi-
tons of each field and "the cultivation
OF the spirit of brotherhood and the
maintenance Of fraternal relations
with those of any form nf Christian
faith who are striving for the uplift of
the people, even in the face of the
peculiar conditions which missionaries
find in Latin America"

WILSON PLANS
 T0AVERT STRIKE
Will Submit it to Committee of 640 Employees and Managers of Road.
 Outlook Is Encouraging.

Washington Aug. 16--President Will son today completed definite plan for settling the threatend nationwide railroad strike and will submit it to representatives of the managers and employs tomorrow.
 The proposition provides that the railways shall concede the eight-hour work day with an agreement that it will be observed. Later it probably will be proposed that d federal com mission appointed by the president or created by Congress, shall investigate all problems that have arisen during the present discussion.
 The chief obstacles in the way of acceptance of the plan are insistence of the railroad managers on arbitra- tion and their opposition to the eight hour day and the demand for time and

CHlCAGC-MIEMl MOTOR ROAD
Details of Work in Various Localities Progress Made in CofstructIon
 Is Remarkable.

That the Dixie highway is a road that has appealed to the people beth North and South of the Mason and Dixon line is evidenced by aport from the offices of the Dixie highway association, located at Chattanooga, to the effect that fifty counties alone have spent more than $1,765,293 or the Chicago Miami motor thoroughiare in the last six months and are preparing to spend $6,931 G00 during the coming year, writes J. C. BuytaH in Chicago Daily News.
 As the fifty counties reporting 10 the association represent less than a third of the total counties tat are crossed by the road that | .s North and South, it would Hot be unreason- able to estimate hat approximately $5,300,0 900 has beer expended OF the Dixie highway to date and that S-Q,- 19%,000 will be used to put tLc thor oughfare in shape i'll 1916.
 When 1t is co!, jidered that the Dixie highway was routed only eight months ago, the progress made in it's construction is remarkable. The large mileage of permanent roads built IT under contract is an indication of tie wonderful advancement made in such a short time.

managers in insisting on arbitra icn are their belief that the whole prime pie of arbitration is at stake. They strongly urged this point during con- sideration Of their recent petitions fo, five per cent increase in freight rates The Interstate Commerce Com mission intimated at the time that when railroad officials give wage in creases of their own accord and with out arbitration they must bear the consequences.
 The managers committee today had experts compiling data on the cost to the railroads of an eight-hour day. This they will present to the president.
 Protest Against Strike.
 All day petitions from unorganized railroad workers protesting against a general strike arrived at the White House. The president also received letters and telegrams from many indi- vfduals and organizations

JOE sTEcHER FINDS THE
 MASKED MARVEL EASY
Nebraskan Threw Henderson Twice in | Less Than Sixteen Minutes.

Joe Stecher, the farmer boy from Dodge, Neb., threw Mort Henderson, the Masked Marvel twice. in less than 16 minutes before 8 crowd of $500 wrestling enthusiasts at Madison Square garden Thursday evening.
 Stecher secured the first fall in g minutes. 50 seconds, with body derson the second time in minutes, 51 seconds with a body scissors and double wrist hold. Steacher weighed 200 pounds and the Marvel. 193 pounds.
 Henderson stated. while he was resting after the first fall, that he had weighed 21s pounds when he first entered the wrestling tournament now in progress at the Manhattan attribute his defeat to this loss of weight or to his present condition or lack of it, as after the bout was over he made a public statement In which he said that Stecher was easily the greatest wrestler he had ever met.
 George Bothner, the referee. was also enthusiastic over Stecher. He certainly is bear" he said to some of the newspaper men. after the match, "and he is so fast that he should make a good boxer"
 The match itself was an unequal one. Stecher. cool and confident, was continually on the offensive, and from the first 1t was apparent that the only question was how long Henderson could keep his sholders from the mat.
 In fact, the Marvel was on the de- and managed to get only one hold in the second, which Stecher broke as easily as child would strand of worSted.

BRIDGEPORT BALL CLUB
 IS NOT FOR SALE,
Owner j. H. Freeman Has Decided to
 Remain in the Game.

Secretary Hugh F. Reddy of the Bridgeport baseball club has stated that Owner John H. Freeman has de- cided not to sell his Bridgeport fran chise, although several bidders are af- ter the club. Freeman has heard so much talk about bright prospects for the coming season that he has deter mined to remain in the game and see if he cannot recoup the losses of past years in the Eastern association.
 Freeman will not be influenced by the special committees decision in the Eastern association merger squabble. In the event that the merger goes through, he intends to run merger club He thinks that with the enor- nous increase in .Bridgeport's popula- ton, due to the influx of workers in the munition plants. baseball should prove a. financial winner. Professional football drew crowds ranging from 5000 to 1000 at Newfield park the past season and professional basketball is packing the halls this winter.
 If Freeman keeps the franchise he must expend a large sum to repair Newfield park. The stands are in poor

Joe 'Loemis, the versatile Chicago A.

 Roy F. Morse, the 22o yard national champion, will also be starter in this race, and the Mercury Foot authorities are scouting for fourth man. In all probability the selection rests between Frank L. Stephenson and Arthur En- gles, the Brooklyn Sunday school boy who defeated Loomis, Filler, Bursch and Meanix in a special hurdle race in the Millrose meet.
 Loomis will have more chance. to beat Drew over 100 yards than at 70 yards, for the colored boy is too fast off his mark for the Chicagoan. Loomis is the national champion over the century route and at San Fran

FINANCIAL AND. COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS IRREGULAR.
Stocks Made Some Reeoveries from
 Recent DseIines.

New York, Jan. 2s.-Stocks regis tered general but very irregular re- coveries today from their declines of the preceding days of the week. To what extent the covering of short con- tracts or investment buying figured in the improvement was at best a mat ter of debate or conjecture, but the inquiry for investment issues sug- gested a change of speculative senti- ment. Fl
 War shares. particularly Crucible Steel, Lackawanna Steel, Baldwin and General Electric and American Can, led the rise. Crucible was the most active feature of the session, trading in that stock far exceeding the deal ings in U. s. Steel. The rise in the munitions group was regarded as a logical result of the presidents plea for home defense, but Crucible's un- wonted activity on its extreme ad- vance of 6to 73 1-4 revived rumors associating the company with Beth
 Bethlehem was dull but strong, ad- vancing ten to 470 and United States Steel after some early uncertainty rose to S4 IA. but closed at S3 3-8, unchanged.
 Petroleum shares. notably Mexican Petroleum, the motors, coppers and few of the miscellaneous high priced issues contributed more or less mod erately to the forward movement, which halted in the early afternoon. Fries and Union Pacific were the con spicuous shares of the railway list, while Canadian Pacific, St Paul, Reading and Northern Pacific were decidedly firm at advances of a point
 Prices underwent sharp downward revision in the final hour, the decline being led by New Haven, which broke IA to 6S, while some of the other rails, as well as industrials and metals forfeited much or all of their advan- tage. The unsettlement was accom- panied by reports from Washington deemed to be of a disquieting char acter. Total sales amounted to 535, 900 shares.
 General news of the day embraced additional favorable railway earnings for December, large bank clearings and indications of a moderate cash loss by local institutions on the weeks movements.
 Bonds were steady on narrow deal ings. Total sales (par value) aggre- gated $4,210,000.
 U. S. bonds were unchanged on call
