 The Dividing Lines.
 Mir Smith said that the line be- tween q plays success and failure was very slight. The theatcr box of flee Is an enormously interesting thing. It is funny how one show that on the first night is condemned, plays to success while another that is ap- proved on the first night meets with failure for tho rest of it's run. He spoke of George Broadhurst as the man who with five failures to every two of his successes would laugh and say. That hate that play, I'm going to write another"
 Bought and Paid For"
 He spoke of the peculiar success or Bought and Paid For" which. when it first started. the management was glad to get all the walters in the Lambs club, department store, em- ployes and the like but was an enor- nous success because the actor who played the leading part couldn't play it. The part was that of a drunken brute of a. husband but as Mir. Smith said, Charlie Richman, who played the part was such a lovable person that the audience liked him in spite of the vicious role. If Wilton Lack ave played ii, it would have been diff ferent The play also made MT. Smiths friend, Jimmie Craven, IS the latter had always played buffers be- fore. He said that when Jimmie went to London he saw the powdered wissed and lveried attendance at the London clubs. Going up to one ot these he said, i've played hundreds of you"
 Tn closing he related his experience in producing s play with George M- Conan, in Trenton. The play was 10 be produced in Trenton. But due to It's impossible lines It. was decided to cancel the enga cement. This was booked for a New Years matinee however, and was played. It WAS a success played nearly d year in New York. had five companies on the road. and made a million and a half dollars He attributed its success. to the fact that it was played on New Years Day because the manager had sold out the house.
 Augustus Thomas was to have spoken but due to tho putting on of one of his new plays at Atlantic City he could not attend.

Further indication that federal

tained in the statement by Robert l..
Saunders, United States District at

I'm my judgment the I. W. W. have
gone far enough with their program
to emphasize the truth that their
principle is the overthrow of the gov
ernment, including the federal gov
ernment." Saunders is quoted as say
ing. If that is so and can be es-
tablished by evidence, every indi-
vidual l. W. W. is guilty Of that
crime"
Continuing, he said, Il shall place
charges against every one of the men
arrested. The complaint will be
placed before the United States COM
missioner at Tacoma. and I believe
that my evidence will be conclusive
enough to hold all of them for the
federal grand jury"

(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12-An at
tempt by Democratic senators to in
woke the cloture rule, so as to limit
debate on the foreign relations com
mittee reservations to the peace treaty,
failed today in the senate.
By a vote Of A to Sc, with all OF
the Republicans present. and Senators
Reed. Missouri, and Shields. Tennes-
see, Democrats, voting in the affirm
ative, the eenate adopted a motion by
Republican leader Lodge to cable an
appeal from a ruling that the Demo
cratic move was order.
The democratic petition for cloture
had been held out of order by the chair
because it sought to limit debate only
on the reservations, and not on the
whole treaty. It was for this reason.
Senator Lodge said. that the Repub-
icans opposed the move.
Senator McCumber, of North Da-
kota. prominent among the mild
reservationists" on the Republican
side. announced that in a very short
time cloture rule covering the entire
treaty would be presented.

OF the rule cannot be taken until tw1
days after submission of the petition

The cloture rule was adopted In
March. 1917, after the armed neutrality
bill had been killed in the closing
hours Of the previous session by a
filibuster. which provoked Presiden,
Wilson to refer in a speech to the

Senate action. The rule has neve,
been invoked. A petition was started
once to enforce the cloture, but before

CENTRALIA, Wash, Nov. 12.-The
man who was lynched here Tuesday
night after members Of the Ameri-
can Legion had been shot and killed
during an armistice day celebration,
was identified today as Ernest Ever
etts, by woman who conducted a
rooming house where Everetts lived.
He was working here as an l. W. w.
organizer, the woman said.
The identification was partly born
out when the police went through
effects found in the room occupied
by the man. These effects included
receipts for Industrial Workers of the
World literature and blank receipts
for membership dues in the l. w. W..
according to the police. The body had
been previously identified as that of
Brick" Smith, secretary of the local
branch of the l. W. w.
Criminal information against the 26
alleged members of the Industrial
Workers of the World has been pre-
pared for filing with the County clerk
at Chehalis, county seat of Lewis
county, today by County Attorney
Herman Allen.
All informauons, it was understood
would allege either participation in
or criminal knowledgs of the killing
of 4 members of the American legion.
Allen said he had information
which he believed would result in
convictions in all the cases. This in.
formation, he asserted, came to him
through alleged confessions of two
young men who admitted membership
in the Industrial Workers of the
World.
One Woman Is Held.
OF the twenty-six alleged members
Of the Industrial Workers Of the
World in Jail here and at Chehalis
one is a woman. She was manager
of the lodging house from which the
fatal shots are alleged to have beer
