revolutionized. The army camp. of
which Fort Harrison is typical. with

Grizzled veterans of the regular

Gen. Glenn, commander of Fort
Harrison, has scattered his military
police about the reservation and even
in the city. Arrests have been fewer
than in a city of the same size as

spicuously small.
The determination Of the army chiefs
to send only physically fit into the
army as officers is evidenced in the

been discharged for various ressons
chiefly for physical defects which the

BeIaseo-'The Man Pays.n

resented at the double premiere at the
Belasco last night, as the performance
was the initial one of Samuel Ship
mans play, The Man Pays" and it
also Witnessed Mr.. Louis Mann's en-
trance into the ranks OF the producers.
The public has been satiated with
plays wherein the woman has done
the paying. but in Mr.. Shipman's play
the dominant new idea is that of
making the masculine end Of the tri-
angle do the settling. The play has a
distinct appeal to the suffragists,
many Of whom were in the audience
last night. wait until We get the
amendment" a line delivered by one
OF the woman characters during the
third act, brought a round Of ap-
planse from the sufiragists.
The story OF the play deals prin-
Cipally with a woman whose husband
has deserted her for another woman
after running his business. which is
on the verge Of going into the re-
Ceiver's hands. The wife. on learning
the truth. appeals to the creditors
and obtains their permission to run
the business for ninety days. She Is
successful in her attempt, and after
bringing the business to a prosperous
condition the husband returns. and as
the business is still in his name he
claims II, and through a court decree
is declared owner. Subsequently the
wife, through the other woman in the
case. obtains the details of the hus-
bands infidelity. Confronted with
these facts the husband gives in and
leaves the country.
The principal acting honors of the
performance belong to George Prob
crt as the husband. His characterize
ton was finished in every detail
Josephine Bumiller was excellent in
part which required delicate hand
ling, while Emile Polini as the wife
filed the principal emotional role ac-
ceptably. Shep Camp and Olive May
handled the comedy portion of the
play. Others in the cast deserving
mention were George Alison, George
Farren and Rexford Kendrick.

dispensation the ceremony was per-
formed in the reception room of the

Gould weddings" have always been
associated with a spirit of pomp in
the eyes OF New York. But no squads
of policemen, no flock of detectives
were necessary today. Instead. only
seven typical women wedding fans"
were in evidence.
When the tall, dreamy-looking scion
OF the Goulds led his dark, flashing
eyed bride to the improvised altar-a
table set between palms-there were
thirteen guests in the room. Most of
them were women friends OF the
bride. hastily summoned by scribbled
invitations.
Only one relative or friend OF the
groom was there. He was George J.

Other members OF the family were
detained by business matters" as
Mr.. Gould's. sr.. secretary said 1t.

with his bride. Kingdom said:
There was no best man or brides

only few witnesses. My brother was

What are your immediate plans?'
Mr.. Gould was asked.
"Why, tomorrow I am going down
to the Office he replied. Il expect
