THE CLOD" IN VAUDEVILLE
Sarah Psdden Plays Lewis Beach's
Melodrama at the Palace.

Lewis Beach's excellent one-act melo-
drama "The Clod" reached the vaude-
Vile stage yesterday afternoon after
d season in the repertory OF The Wash
ington Square Players. With a young
woman named Sarah Padden in the ii
lie role. the piece was given a sut-
fciently good Interpretation at the Pal
ace, although the climax was somewhat
weakened by the deletion Of the oath
which really brings on the shooting.
Miss Padden did not give quite so sat
isfying a performance as either Jo-
sephine Never or Margaret Morris,
both of whom played the role with the
Bandbox-Comedy folk, but she took full
advantage of her moment OF melo-
drama at the curtain. Glenn Hunter
OF The Players, continues in the role
Of the Northern soldier.
The accomplished Adelaide and the
skilled Mr.. Hughes have surrounded
themselves with bevy of dancing folk,
and their Offering constitutes by far
the best Of the series OF elaborate
terpsichorean acts now being revealed
~ the Palace. Grace La Rue repeats
her success of last week, and the re-
r,ainder of the bill includes Andrew
Tombes and Lola Wentworth, Raymond
and Caverley, Maria Lo, Lew Wilson,
Bcrzac's circus and the amusing stan
Stanley.

COhPERS HITS BACK
AT SENATOR SHERMAN
Asserts He Is Likely to Continue
To Be a Nuisance.

Samuel Gompers, in speech at the
convention Of the New Jersey Fedora
ton of Labor, in Orange, \. j., yester-
dav replied to Senator Lawrence \.
Sherman's Characterization of him as
public nuisance" "the great American
skunk" and a Democrat. He was like
ly TO keep on being a nuisance to the
Senator, he said, pointing out that
cautious people let mephiticus alone
and the incautious take the consse-
quences. AS for being Democrat he
denied it.
Expressing thanks that he was not
indicted with the indianapolis dyna-
miters," Mr.. Gompers said that similar
emotions should move Senator Sher-
man that "he was not indicted with
bank .defaulters. trust SPECTATORS and
other buccaneers in the industrial and
commercial field"
at is my hope, as it is the hope. OF
all here" said Mr.. Gompers, speaking
of the threatened railroad strike, that
the eight-hour day will be achieved
without a strike. But If 1t cannot be
secured in any other way and they
should strike, the great movement OF
labor and the citizens generally Will!
be behind them

Mr.. Ford! This I ruck's Picking
on Your Stream-Line Darlingsl
1t Knocked One All Apart in Nassau Street
and What Are You Going to
Do About Itp

tiful new car was going very proudly
and very slowly down Nassau Street
about lunch time yesterday afternoon
when. bing-o! It's left front wheel col
lided with the wheel of mail wagon
No. SO, fastening in the opposite direc-
ton. Now, Nassau Street is one way
street and, needless TO say, the Fora
was pointed as it should have been
toward the south. It's owner, Curtis r.
Kohler. of n East 104th Street, had
lust received il from the factory two
days ago and he wasn't taking any
chances. When he saw the truck com
ing he threw on all his brakes and
tried 10 swerve out of the way.
II was too late. The next thing ne
knew his radiator was passing through
the plate glass window of d card print
ing store, AZ 100 Nassau Street, and a
man who gave his name as l.. /. Brod-
stone was lying across his righthand
lamp. Mr.. Brodstone suffered contu-
sions OF the back. The window re-
ceived compound fracture of the face
At Police Headquarters it was stated
that mail trucks are not governed by
ordinary traffic regulations, and that
this particular one was acting WITHIN
its rights. Now, Mr.. Ford, this IS a
serious situation. What are you going
to do about it.

Cuts Pay of Commission
ers Getting More than
Members of Congress.
SENATORS JOIN
REDUCTION MOVE
President FavOrs High
Pay, but Representatives
Want $500 Maximum.

Washington, Aug. 2l-The theory
that no government official could BIO
worth more than a Senator or a mem
Der of the House has won converts at
both ends of the Capitol. and bids fair
TO continue until the salaries Of the
Interstate Commerce Commissioners
have been pruned.
Senator Hoke Smith. of Georgia, an
earnest believer in this theory, an
nounced to-day that he would fight not
only against giving larger salaries
than $500 to members Of commits
sions proposed by pending bills, but
was in favor of pruning salaries OF
members Of existing commissions.
Among those affected, if this trend
is TO predominant, are members Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, the
Federal Trade Commission, the Fed
ersl Reserve Board and the Farm Loan
Board, which is TO administer the new
rural credits legislation.
The first step in the fight, which has
developed with amazing rapidity, was
in the House, after the Ways and
Means Commute had reported the new
revenue bill. The salaries of the Tar
if Commissioners were fixed in that
bill at $4,000 year. In opposing such
high salaries, Perl Decker, Of Missouri,
made the first public declaration that
no one could be worth more than a
Representative in Congress, which the
House applauded gleefully. The vote
to reduce the salaries was over
whelming.
President Wilson is known TO favor
salaries of at least $1,000. Representa-,
tive Rainey, who drew the original
tariff commission bill, later incorpor-
ated in the revenue bill. has provided
salaries OF $4,000 for the commission
ers The Senate Finance Committee
Democrats fixed the salary at $4,000
again. This was perfunctorily APP
proved by the Democratic caucus. but
later, when Senator Smith, OF Georgia,
proposed the cut there was little oppo-
sition, so that the bill now stands IN
the Senate with both Houses on record
in favor of the lower salaries. Presi-
dent Wilson is known TO favor the
restoration Of the higher rate.
On motion by Senator Smith in the
Senate last week. the salaries of mem
bers Of the Shipping Board were re-
duced from $4,000 TO $500. While
these salaries were fixed in the House
~ $4,000, this was before the deyel-
opment of the opposition to any COM
missioner getting more than mem
Der of Congress. It is regarded as
likely that a motion for the House to
give in on this point will be made.
The Farm Loan Board members es.
capped the cut because their bill passed
before The movement began, but their
time is coming, members predict. II
is declared that the appropriation bill
next session will make the cut.

Owners of "The Battle Cry Of Peace
Claim Damages.

4 year ago the Nitagraph Company
Of America produced a film play urg-
inc preparedness, called "The Battle

thereafter Henry Ford began TO hire
whole pages in the newspapers 20 tell
the public what he thought Of that

Among other things, the automobile
manufacturer announced that u was
merely an advertisement for the war
fare wares Of Hudson Maxim, who him
self took part in the play. For that
statement the motion picture concern
seeks 100000 damages from Ford.
The company has begun suit for that
ar,ourt IN the Supreme Court of New

DREAMS OF A Big
PIER FOR C0NEY
Acting Mayor Bowling
Has Plan Also for Great
Boardwalk.

a great recreation pier, similar TO the
81 ,O0O,O 900 pier at Atlantic City, with
boardwalk extending from Manhattan
Beach to Sea Gate, is the dream Of
acting Mayor Frank L. Bowling, who
visited Coney Island yesterday to study
its recreation possibilities. The Presi-
dent of the Board Of Aldermen was
accompanied by Alderman Alexander S.
Drescher, Alderman Joseph Harmon and
Charles K. Ward, chief engineer OF the
Typographical Bureau Of Brooklyn.
Ii was said that such pier az sug-
gested could be built by private capital
and made at least self-sustaining, as
the city has not the money for IT. The
boardwalk would be a project in the
more distant future, when the city has
reclaimed the land along the ocean
front now occupied by private enter
prises. which the Court of Appeals re-
Gently decided the city had a right
70 do.
The acting Mayor was favorably i'm
pressed with the plan to develop the
concourse lands at the foot or ocean
Parkway, which at present appear TO be
the only available space open 20 pup
lie use, all others having been absorbed
by private interests. Mr.. Bowling said
all the land should be made accessible
TO the public in accordance with the
court decision.
Mr.. Ward pointed out that the con-
course lands originally contained sew
enty acres. They had a sea frontage
Of $3.50 feet and a uniform depth OF
1000 feet. An area OF more than thirty
acres has disappeared at the eastern
end, washed away because of made
ouate protection. This lost land was
valued az several million dollars, and
engineers have proposed TO reclaim 1t
by building a large breakwater at the
eastern end. The breakwater, or sea
wall scheme, the engineers declare, is
not so big or expensive as it may seem,
and the result would be to restore a
great area Of land at the popular re-
sort for public use and prevent further
destruction of the beach front by the
winter storms.
The acting Mayor also visited the
municipal bathhouse at Coney Island.
He advocated a second bathhouse Tor
women and children only.

A thief, presumably woman, invaded

in bathing or on the beach, clad only IN
their bathing suits. As result, when
the latter complained 70 the manage
ment some time later they sun wore
their swimming costumes.
"Have you a woman clerk" one Of
them asked the man at the desk. Il
should like TO give her a list OF the

"I'll be delighted TO take down the
list myself" ne responded, obligingly.
"Oh. dear, no." the spokeswoman
gasped, and retired with the other COM
claimants 10 the basement, where they
complied their own inventory. IL was
said the thief took s40O worth OF lin

CITY LETS LEPER
PASS THROUGH
Cuban Student Here OIL
His Way Home, Accom-
panied by Physician.

Porfrias Diaz, young Cuban stu
dent, who developed leprosy while in
Massachusetts,, is somewhere in this
city tonight, waiting for a boat TO
take him home. He came TO this coun-
try 10 be educated, but after the
disease seized him narrowly escaped
confinement for life on Penekese ISL
and. the leper colony in Massachusetts,.
Friends who wanted HIM sent home
took the matter up, and the New York
health authorities agreed to permit him
TO pass through the city. According
10 John S. Billings, Deputy Health
Commissioner, there was not the
slightest danger in this, and II 'he
Massachusetts, authorities were willing
70 let him leave there could be no
objection.
"Lepers have been allowed within the
city since Joseph Bryant was Health
Commissioner" said DR.. Billings, "and
though the matter was taken up re-
Gently, there was no reason TO alter
the order. As long as a leper IS under
the care Of competent physician and
remains at nome OF III PIaNe "'''5
mated there is not the slightest danger
TO the public. There are number IN
private homes and in city institutions
now, but while precautions are taken
they are in no way menace.
Diaz travelled by automobile from
Boston 20 New York, and was accom-
panied by a physician and trained
nurse. His stopping place in this city
will be kept secret. From here 70 Cuba
he will be in quarantlned cabin. Ihs

tate the young man will be able u
