BREAKS A STAGE TRADITION

From the London Globe: We have
now seen II. b. Irving prove that he
is not only an excellent actor, but a
brave man. The stage is the most
conservative institution on earth: :
and to break through the barbed
wire of its bristling convention
needs courage of the highest order.
Mr.. Irving in his new production
will play the part of barber. Hith-
erto the leading man at any West
End theatre has been restricted to
sundry walks in life, of which hair
dressing is emphatically not one.
The leading man may be a soldier,
or a barrister, or, in extreme cases,
a doctor or an artist. But perhaps
the most usual occupation for the
hero of refined modern drama Is that
of enjoying independent means. This
naturally gives him more time to
make love to the heroine's back hair
and otherwise conduct himself as a
hero. Besides, he has to be on the
stage at the fall of the curtain on
each act. as we'll as doing a consid-
cradle amount of talking: and he
cannot achieve this and get on with
his doctoring or his barristing as
well. The appearance of O working
barber as the hero of a serious play,
therefore. marks an epoch.
It is all due to the democratizing
influence of those plays from the
United States, in which people who
work for their living are with in
credible frequency shown in roman
tic situations.

UNITED STATES PREPARES

Leave II Diplomatic Relations
Arc Severed.

WASHINGTON, March Com
plete arrangements for the with
drawal Of American diplomatic and
consular officers from Austria-Hun-
gary have been made by Ambassador
Penfield on instructions from the
state department. The Ambassador
had been directed to take this step,
the belief at the department being
that break in relations is inevitable.
The Spanish government has been
asked to take over American interests
and plans have been made to expedite
the withdrawal of all Americans il
the break occurs.
The last report from Ambassador
Penfield, a brief cable received after
these instructions were sent, suggest
ed slight possibility that Austria's
reply to this governments aide me-
MORE asking definition of her atti-
tude in the submarine situation,
might be favorable. No real hope was
raised here. however, and no change
in instructions followed.
The feeling prevails here that
while both this country and Austria
are seeking to avoid break, Ger
many is determined that her ally
shall support, to the greatest degree
possible. the submarine campaign.

Charged with threatening bodily

injured workman who caused a dis
tuYbance in the commissions Office
one day last week, was arrested
Wednesday on complaint Of Commits
sioner John M. Wilson and bound
over by Justice of the Peace Crosby
to the superior court for trial.
Unable to furnish $1,000 bond,
Slade is confined to the county jail.
in company with John Van Dell. the
murderer of Commissioner E. w.
Olson.
Slade first became obstreperous
Wednesday of last week and after
making various threats, declared:
III come back once more" He was
under surveillance for some time by
local officers. but appeared again at
the commissions office Wednesday
morning of this week and demanded
his money. His actions then, coup
led with information concerning him
that had been gathered following the
previous disturbance, resulted In the
warrant being sworn out by Commits
sioner Wilson.
Slade sustained an injury some
time ago which required the ampu-
tation Of one foot. At that time he
was paid some $1,000 accident insur-
ance by the commission. the full
amount permitted by the law. Re-
Gently he reappeared and put in a
claim for a further indemnity, stat
ing that while in California recently
he had been compelled to undergo
another amputation.
He was Immediately advised by the
commission that the additional pay
ment would be forthcoming as soon
as the commission had obtained from
the California hospital the statement
the law requires. This has not been
obtained yet and the payment has
been withheld. In the meantime,
Slade has been living at local room
ing house.

STATES BUDGET IS
ABOVE z MILLIONS
APPROPRIATIONS FOR coll
IEGES AND HIGHWAYS
NOT INCLUDED.

Carrying appropriations aggregat
ing more than S12 100000. the
states general budget bill was re-
ported in the house Monday. Under
an agreement signed by two-thirds
of the members of the house the bill
could not be amended save upon mo-
ton of Chairman J. H. Davis. of the
appropriations committee. 1t was
passed by the house Tuesday without
change and went through the senate
Wednesday.
The bill does not include the APP
propriations for the institutions of
higher education or for the state
highways. Those matters will be
cared for in separate bills.
One of the items in the bill is s4,-
100000 for the accident fund in the
industrial insurance department.
This money is collected wholly from
the industries of the state and the
appropriation is merely ministerial
act to place it at the disposal Of the
insurance commission.
Other sources of revenue from in
direct taxes aggregate about $4,000
900, so that the amount which the
bill appropriates from the general
fund is approximately $6,SO0.OO0.
This is nearly 100000 more than
two years ago, but 100000 less than
proposed by the state board of
finance. Ordinarily the business of
the state increases so rapidly from
one biennium to another that the ap-
preparations from the general fund
go up at the rate of $1,000,O00 for
each two years.
