Barrie and "Poter Pan.S

The birth of J. M. Barrie's play,

play for Frohman and met him at din

London. Barrie seemed nervous and

"Simply this" said Barrie. "You
know 1 have an agreement to deliver
you the manuscript of playa"
YES" said Frohman.
"Well, I have it all right" said Bar
RE, "but I am sure 1t will not be a
commercial success. It is dream child
of mine, and I am SO anxious to zee It
on the stage that I have written an
other play which will be glad to give
you and which will compensate you
for any loss on the one I am SO eager
to see produced
Don't bother about that" said Froh-
man. II will produce both Plays
Now, the extraordinary thing about
this episode is that the play about
whose success Barrie was SO doubtful
was Peter PAN" which made several
fortunes. The manuscript he offered
Frohman to indemnify him from loss

The Business of Life.

Life is business we are all apt to
mismanage, either living recklessly
from day to day or suffering ourselves
to be guided out Of our moments by the
inanities of custom. We should de-
spise man who gave as little activity
and forethought to the conduct of any
other business. But in this, which is
the one thing of all others, since It con-
tains them all, we cannot see the forest
for the trees. One brief impression OBJ
literates another. There is something
Supplying in the recurrence Of unim-
portant things, and it is only on rare
provocations that we can rise to take
an outlook beyond daily concerns and
comprehend the narrow limits and
great possibilities of our existence

SIX BURGLARIES
TRACED TO GIRL
Helen Kraker, "Queen of the Movies,' -
Continues to Mysdfy Police
by CleverneSS.

New Britain, Nov. 27.-Knewn to
the authorities as ''the queen of the
MOVIES thirteen-year-old Helen
Kraker, Of LAG Beaver street, con-
tinues to be a mystery while the scope
Of her activities increases as the in
vesti cation Of detectives progresses.
According to the police, she is either
one Of the clervest Juvenile criminals
that has ever come to the attention
of the local department or possess
the uncanny cunning of the mentally
Irresponsible. Already, according to
Detective Officer A J. Richardson,
about. six burglaries, until now mys-
teries, have been traced to her and
her activities have already been. trac-
ed back year.
She has not only been elusive to
detectives, but difficulty has been ex-
perienced in getting her into court.
She was supposed to appear before
Judge James T. Maskil1 in chambers
this morning and left home with her
mother, Mrs. Mary Kraker. When
near the Main street crossing she
broke away and eluded capture. AS a
result, she did not appear in court.
Later she was apprehended by her
brother and is now being detained at
police headquarters. Inc
are as uncertain as to the best thing
to do with her as are the police in
attempting to estimate the scope Of
her lfght-f1ngered activities.
She is now accused and, according
to the police, confesses to having
stolen $12 and a diamond ring from
the home of John A. Kallburg, State
Normal school janitor, of 153 Grove
street. Detectives are attempting to
locate the ring and have already
traced it through the temporary own
ersl1ip Of from ten or twelve. She is
also accused Of visiting the apart
ments Of 618 Main street twice, the
last time one night this week. Ac-
cording to the police, she goes
through bureau drawers and other
places where va1uables might be kept
with the speed Of a professional.
A unique defense was made by her
to-day when she said that a girl
friend took her hat and coat several
times and visited a number of houses.
This, she contended, is why the de-
scription of the mysterious girl visitor
to various apartments TALES with her
The police say that she shows much
cleverness in evading replies to ques-
lions that are liable to implicate her
self.

leo On October IA

III Paso, Tex.-When President Will
son touches the golden key which will
start the waters of the Rio Grande
flowing through the spillways of the
great Elephant Butte dam on October
Id he viii bring in 100000 acres Of
fertile lands in the chain of valleys in
New Mexico, Texas and Old Mexico.
The first meeting of the twenty-third
International Irrigation Congress will
be held at the dam dedication and
followed by sessions in Ell Paso, Oc-
toberp16. II and IS.
The Elephant Butte dam is a mass
OF concrete and steel thrown across
the Rio Grande on the desert Of New
Mexico at the point where great
rock, formed life the head and body
Of mastodonic elephant, seems to
drink from the Rio Grande. This
giant impounding dam has formed the
largest irrigation reservoir in the
world. More than As miles in length
and eight miles across. the lake stores
the melted SHOWS of the Colorado
Mountains and these life-giving
waters are allowed to flow through
spillways of the dam when the land
needs moisture for the growing sea-
son, thus causing the desert acres be-
low the dam to blossom and bear fruit
age
1.-THE dedication of the Elephant
Butte dam by President Wilson on
October la will be an event of world
wide importance in the irrigation
field" states James G. McNary, presi-
dent of the First National Bank OF
Ell Paso and chairman of the board
of control of the Irrigation Congress.
''It will mark the Reclamation Serv-
ices greatest achievement. It viii
reward the pioneer men and women
Of the lower Rio Grande valleys, from
Albuquerque to Old Mexico, and it
viii justify the faith of the people OF
the Southwest who have staked their
all ON the fertility of the soil and the
ability of the project to carry the
waters to the lands when most need
ed. Above all, it will be a perpetual
monument to the Irrigation Congress.

URGE BOND ISSUE
TO MEET EXPENSES
Big Sum Needed to Meet Mexi-.
can Expenditures.
MAY NEED MORE MONEY
Department concurs In Recommends
tIon That Bonds Be Issued-Amount
Proposed WIN Only Meet Require
ment Until December 81.

Washington A bond issue of $780,
100000 to meet extraordinary govern
ment expenditures due to the Mexican
situation was unexpectedly recon-
mended to Congress by majority mem
bers of the Finance Committee, with
the concurrence of the Treasury De-
partment- \
The bond issue is urged in the re-
port of the Finance Committee, filed
in the Senate on the 500, 000, 600 Reve-
nue. Bill. In addition to the proposed
issue and the Revenue Bill the Finance
Committee asserts that further appro-
priation of $S6.Ooo,OOO win be neces-
sary to defray the expense of opera
lions in the Mexican emergency IL con-
ditibns on the border continue as they
are now after December 81, 1916. The
$13o, 100000 to be provided by the pro-
posed bond issue, the report says, will
meet Mexican expenditures only until
the end of this calendar year.
Accompanying the Finance Commit
tee majority's report, submitted by
Senator Simmons, was general state
ment from the Treasury Department,
estimating disbursements for the flscal
year 1917 at 26.243,000 and receipts
s762, 0OO, 900.
1.-THE total appropriations for the
fiscal year 1917, exclusive of those car
Red in the so-called shipping bill,
which is to be betrayed by the issuance
Of Panama bonds, will exceed the ap-
preparations for the fiscal year 1916 by
about $469,000.000," says the report.
|"This increase is represented principal
ly by $167 100000 additional amount
appropriated for the Navy, $166, 100000
additional amount appropriated for the
Army, $20,O00.0O0 additional amount
appropriated for Notifications SAL ,000,-
600 for deficiency appropriations
about $35 ZOO, 600 of which is due to the
Mexican situation and increased re-
quirements of the Army and Navy
and $20,000,000 for nitrate plant,
which is a preparedness appropriation.
The increase in the appropriation for
the present fiscal year other than for
these extraordinary purposes is not be-
yond the normal increase"
In its analysis of the revenue bill as
revised by the Senate committee, the
Treasury Department estimates that
the annual revenue to be derived will
be: From income tax, sos, 500, 600; in
heritance tax. $20,O00,0OO for 1917
(after law is in full force approximate
ly $65, OOO,000), munitions manufac-
lures tax, $4o.O0O,0O0; miscellaneous,
including beer, liquors, stamp taxes,
etc, $500, 000--a total of $205. GOO, 900.

wilson VETOES
THE ARMY BILL
,Resents Section Freeing Tong
ues of Retired Officers.
HAY TAKES BULL BY HORNS
Presidents Action Against Feature
Exemptlng Retired officers From
courts-Martial Brings Decla-
ration From Hay.

Washington.--The Army appropria-
ton bill was Unexpectedly vetoed by
President Wilson because he would
not accept certain provisions in the
revision of the articles of war, forced
into the bill by the House conferees
and commonly said in Army circles to
be in the interest of certain retired
officers "at outs" with the Army.
Chairman Hay, of the House Mill
tary Committee, at once reintroduced
the bill with the entire section re-
vising the articles of war stricken out
and the declaration that no revision
at all would go through with the bill
in this Congress
Chairman Chamberlain, of the SEN
ate Military Committee, announced
that the Senate would reinsert the re-
vision approved by the President and
the War Department, but stricken out
in the House, and that the situation
had resolved itself into contest be-
tween the Senate and House on one
hand and Mr.. Hay on the other.
May Delay Adjournment.
The tangle threatens to delay the
adjournment of Congress and, incl
dentally, completion of the prepared
ness program, as well as to hold up
appropriations for the Army increases
and all the extra expenses involved in
the Mexican service.
The Presidents veto, one of the few
he has exercised, marks another stage
in the long fight between the Army
and Chairman Hay. The Army charges
Hay with defeat of the Continental
Army and universal training plans and
the substitution of National Guard re-
organization, which it opposed. Army
officers also say certain features of the
bill were injected in conference and
never were debated on the floor of
either house of Congress.
The articles of war have not been
revised in a hundred years, and are
said to be sadly deficient for dealing
with conditions which the growth of
the Army and development of the
nation requires. The War Depart
ment is especially anxious for changes
to enable Army officers to deal ade-
quateIy with problems arising during
the present Mexican service.
Included IN the revision worked out
by Congress. over the objection of the
President and the War Department,
was provision which exempted re-
tired officers from courts martial and
Army discipline, if not actually from
Army control, and placed them under
the jurisdiction of the civil courts.
