SHAKESPEAREAN
 TREkTPROM|SED

King Rrichard Ill., in which James H, Robinson and his talented company Of Shakesperean actors and actresses will appear on the night of April 10 at the Elks theater, promises to be dramatic treat of the season.
 All who know Robinson, know tha. he does nothing by halves-he is a self made man-the stage talent he pos sesses is a gift, for not a day nor an hour of dramatic training has he had. He has appeared in many Shakes perean plays and has always done credit to himself and won many friends and been admired by all who have heard him.
 The company comes highly recom- mended. The scenery. and costumes, including complete suits of armor, will be of the period of 14S5. The tragedy includes the treacherous plot against Richards brother Clarence, the pitiful murder of his innocent nephews, his tyrannical usurpation of the throne, with the whole course of his detested life and most deserved death.
 MT. Robinson solicits the patronage of the public, not simply to see the play, to hear the roaring of the boar and the clicking of swords, but to aid the worthy couse for which it is given The Tanner Chapel Methodist church has answered every patriotic call and will ever be ready to do so. They have given their first thoughts to raising money for patriotic purposes, and this is the first call since the outbreak of the war for money for the church which is the only colored church iu debt. All who attend will be we'll re- paid in coming to see this wonderful play and at the same time will aid the Tanner Chapel in its efforts to free it. self from debt.
 The committee hopes to clear tho church of debt in order that nothing may interfere with their work for thu next Liberty loan drive, in which they hope to play an important part. Tickets mey be secured of Rev. Rob ert Herring, 1l3 South Second street or phone J. H. Robinson, 1919, and tick cts will be delivered.

COURT SUSTA|NS | LIMIT LAW FUR l FREIGHT TRAINS

Notwithstanding the unprecedented congestion of freight throughout the country and the inability of the rail- roads to move it, to the extent that the government has taken over the man. agement of the railroads for the period of the war the supreme court of Ari zona yesterday handed down an opin- ion sustaining the act of the state leg islature limiting the length of freight train to 70 cars, exclusive of the caboose.
 The opinion, which was rendered by Chief Justice Franklin. confirms the judgment of the superior court of Maricopa county in the case Of the state of Arizona vs. the Arizona East ern. The defense of the road was that the legislature did not have the right according to the constitution, to regu- late the operation of the railroad; that ] that right was vested in the corpora | ton commission.
 The marital entanglements of Oliver J. Crook, which have been the subject of court procedure since February, 1916, were not simplified any yesterday when the supreme court handed down Ian opinion in which a divorce decree awarded Crook by the superior court was set aside and the judgment vacat- ed. Crook finds himself in the unusual position of having two wives, if that is possible in this country.
 Crook sued his wife for divorce and received a default decree. The wife, claiming fraud in the obtaining of the default decree and that she herself was already suing Crook for divorce, se- cured judgment in the superior court setting aside the decree. Crook, in the ! saI AA o lchild by the latest union.
 This was his martial state when he Twas confronted with an order of court Isetting aside the default divorce decree he had received. He appealed to the Isupreme court, but by the opinion handed down yesterday he received nc lreiief, "A more circumspect and con- scientious observance of the law" saic the justice, would have prevented al the grief of which he speaks so feel ingly at this time. He should have made haste slowly. There is proverb Haste often brings shame and 1t is particularly applicable to hurried mar .riage of sdivorcees."
 Five other opinions were handed down yesterday by the supreme cour as follows:
 A. L. Wasson, defendant, and G. c
 
 E. Smith and John E. Wight, plaintiffs appellees, appeal from Graham county affirmed.

4 Restraining Events

70 return to the matter of Home Rule,
it would have gone into effect years ago,
but when the war broke out, Sir Edward
Carson, leader of the Ulster Unionists,
was said to have had 100000 men under
arms to prevent severance Of the
present relations between Ireland and
Great Britain; and after the war broke
out came the attempt of Sir Roger Case
ment to lead in the Huns, and of that
popular literary society, the Sim Fein,
to set-up an Irish republic
Easement was executed, the feeble re-
publican movement drowned in its own
blood, and Sir Edward Carson is now
so anxious to see Irshmen doing their
bit that he has expressed willingness
to swallow the Home Rule scheme. no
matter what it may be. And whatever
it may be, the Home Rule scheme is the
work of the Dublin convention presided
over by Sir Horace Plunkett, and having
membership which included in the
fairest possible way every shade of
Irish political opinion
Shane Leslie, writing in "The CHICAGO
Tribune" assumes the work of the Irish
convention to have been a success. He
says:
The main pillar of success has been the
natural growth of conciiating and CEN
trail group made up of the Redmondites. the
Labor representatives, the Southern Union
lsts and the literati. In this way the old

L Draw Back

Whatever the form of government may
be, "The Brooklyn Eagle" voicing al
most the consensus Of editorial opinion,
says that Lloyd George has committed
his forces to Home Rule so that he can
no longer draw back. 1t finds that
'the majority report of Sir Horace Plunkett,
submitted IN behalf of the Irish Conven-
ton, reveals greater degree of unanimty
than was expected by many close students
Of the Irish problem While there was pro-
nounced dissent from the majority view on
the Ulster question and the control of the
customs, the convention reached an agree
ment that provides the government with
framework for a Home Rule measure"
The Prime Minister will be wise, "The
New York Evening Post" believes, if he
will give heed to the majority report, on
which it praises Sir Horace Plunkett in
the highest terms.
This much can be said in favor Of
whatever Home Rule scheme may be un-
der consideration, that for the first time
on record Ulster is willing to come TO
