Author Well Known In This

The following article from the At

e. A. Carroll is we'll known in Ameri-
Gus, where he married Miss Annie Mae
Bell:
"'Time Unmasked,' a masquerade
and pageant of Shakespeares people,
a scenario by c. A. Carroll, of Atlanta,
Thursday was announced by the
Drama League as the prize winner in
the contest recently inaugurated and
Mr. CAROLS pageant will be present
ed at Piedmont Park next May, with
several hundred players.
"The scenario met with the instant
approval of the Drama League, which
was planning celebration of the
tercentenary of Shakespeare's death.
1t is based on no one work of the
.pard, but introduces all his principal
characters, with many speaking parts.
Morris dances and old English scenes.
It's theme is that Father Time is pow
erless against Shakespeare's death

"The pageant is to be presented be-
enath the moonlight on a terrace
.nsar the Driving Club, in a natural
amphitheater. Across the green's
ward will move, in groups, all of
Shakespeare's lovers and heroes, his
clowns, his Williams. There will trip
Rosaline and Portia and Olivia, young
Juliet and sweet Ophelia, and there
will stride Hamlet and Othello and the
base Iago, Jovial Falstaff will join
hands with the two Dromios and old
Shylock, plucking at his beard, will
cry aloud for his lost ducats. One

Mrs. Jarnagin in Charge.

Mrs W. c. Jarnagin, president of
the Atlanta Center of the Drama
League, has charge of all arrange
ments, with a number of committees
on costumes and music and other de-
tails to assist her. The costumes will
be designed by one committee to in
sure harmony, but will be provided by
the wearer. Professionals will be en-
gagged to supervise the production.
THE study of Shakespeare will be
taken up by the primary grades IN
the public schools in advance of the
pageant, and it is probable that num-
Der of pupils will be among the mask
ers.
The pageant, the first public pro-
duction by the Drama League, will be
by far the most ambitious undertake
ing of The kind ever presented in the
South, and it promises to be an ex-
pensive one. Five hundred dollars al
ready has been subscribed by Allan
tans, but more will be required. The
league provided 800 from its tres
urw, but the other subscribers to the
guarantee fund will be reimbursed
from the sale of tickets Should the
expenses and receipts permit. AS the
initial expenses are heavy the commit
tees request that they take the form
of checks, payable to Mrs. H. L.
Stearns, chairman of the finance COM
mittee."

ST. LOUIS VOTES ON
RESTRICTION FOR
NEGRO POPULATION

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 29.-Voters of st.
Louis are deciding at a referendum
election today whether two measures,
designed to restrict the negro popula-
ton to certain parts of the city, shall
become ordinances.
Two bills, both submitted by petit
items under the initiative clause of the
city charter, are being voted on. One
provides that negroes shall not move
into blocks occupied wholly by white
persons, or that white persons shall
not move into blocks occupied by ne
groes.
The other proposed ordinance pro-
vides that negroes shall not move in
tic blocks in which rs per cent of the
houses are occupied by whites, or that
white persons shall not move into
blocks in which rs per cent of the
houses are occupied by negroes.
If both ordinances are adopted, the
second, being the more stringent Of
the two, would be EFFECTIVE.
Neither ordinances puts any restric-
ton on the ownersip of property, but
restricts solely the use of property for
residence purposes. Negroes who are
employed in houses or apartments &C.
cupied by white persons are unaffected
by the ordinances Apartment house
janitors, who live in the easements of
apartments, occupied by whites would
got be affected.
Both ordinances contain clauses pro-
yiding that the proposed laws shall not
affect persons at present living blocks
occupied by members of the other
races.
If the whole block" ordinance is
adopted about 500 blocks in the city
would be available for negro residence.
If the more stringent or "75 per cent
measure" is adopted only about $50
blocks will eavia 1905. 800 90$666
blocks will be avilable for negro resi-
dence.
Attorneys say certain clauses of the
as per cent" ordinance are vague, and
litigation seems certain is either ordin-
ance is adopted
hTe ordinances have been siren
uuusly opposed by negro organizations
and by many white friends of the race
as tending to crowd the negroes into
/ limited sections of the city. The ordin-
ances have been supported by many
whites who argue that the property
values of small home owners are i'm
perriled by the possibility that negroes
may move next door to whites.

of equal size.
The railroad tracks parallel the lake
shore and the view of the rowing races
is excellent, the crew nearest the bank
being less than a hundred feet away
from the observation train. No build
ings or woodland obstruct the view at
any point along the proposed three
quarter mile course and there
are vantage points along the high bank
for thousands who prefer them to the
rolling grandstand.
Fifty thousand spectators is the max
imum gathering at Poughkeepsie as
estimated by many close followers of
intercollegiate rowing and it is be-
lieved that the regatta on Caynga Lake
would draw this many, if not more.
With Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo,
Cleveland, PittsDurg and other large
cities to draw from any falling off in
the attendance from New York, Phil
delphia and Hudson river towns will
lie fully met. A majority of this throng
would arrive by special excursion
trains during the day of the race, but
Ithaca can accommodate the usual
night-before arrivals.
. Training facilities for the competing
colleges, which would probably in
clude Columbia, Pennsylvania, SYRIA
cuse, Cornell, Leland Standfoord and
possibly other Pacific coast crews, are
fully equal to those offered by the
Poughkeepsie course. There is for
ty-mile stretch of water for long
workouts, some miles of which re
protected by high shore line, afford
ing smooth water even in a stiff blow
In calm weather the entire lake is
available for practice.
Shell quarters could be provided by
khe lighthouses of the Cornell Navy. the
intercollegiate Rowing club, and
Cascadilla school A shore hotel and
private cottages scattered along the
lake. could be hired for the oarsmen
while in training, affording accommo-
dations for shells and the necessary
culinary departments. AS a result of
this stock-taking Cornell authorities
are convinced that the regatta can be
staged satisfactorily on Caynga Lake
'rhe matter is, however, entirely in
the hands of the board of stewards Of
tile L. r. A., and the Ithaca Univer-
sity rowing officials will not make any
effort to secure the regatta, leaving
the final decision to the association. If
tn four-mile Poughkeepsie course is
selected, Cornell will be thoroughly
satisfied; If the three-and-a-quarter
mic stretch at Ithaca is named Ithaca

Interesting Sport Letter
Gathered From All Spheres

NEW YORK, February 29.-Although
the stewards of the Intercollegiate
Rowing association have not as yet de-
cided definitely upon either the Pough-
keepsie of Ithaca course for the 1916
regatta, Cornell authorities have out
dined the possibilities Of Caynga Lake
as the scene of the intercollegiate crew
races. From the spectators stand
point observation car facilities can be
provided for as many persons at Ithaca
as on the Hdson river stretch.
At Poughkeepsie train of thirty
nine gondola cars has been provided
in past years, thirty-six of which were
for the use of spectators, including the
general public, alumni and undergrad
yates of the colleges interested in the
regatta. Each car will seat about 100
persons. In recent. seasons the dual
and triangular races at Ithaca, in
which Cornell Fights have rowed
against Yale, Princeton and Harvard
crews, have filed observation trains

Let the reader put up little note on
