kANTISHNA BOOM BIG

"The Kantishna district is looking better every day" according to >Mr. Wood. "The Aitkcn mine is being steadily developed. Between 750 and BOO tons of silver ore, valued at at least s25O ,OOO and probably even more were hauled from the mines to the Kantishna river over the winter trail and is being shipped to the Outside smelters for reduction. Much ore mined last winter is still being held at the mine because of inability to haul it before the spring breakup and on account of lack of summer trans nortation facilities. It had not been intended to work the mine this sum- mer, but a new body of ore was en- countered early this spring which shows LID even richer than the ore taken out during the winter, result ing in the continuation of operations all summer, although it will be impos- sible to make any shipments during the summer and food and supplies will have to be packed in to the mine. Ten tons of the new ore taken out showed an average value of S1,OOO per ton,'' said Mr. Wood.

Booth Harrington
Deserts the Drama
For Economics
''Poldekin,'' at the Park, Is
q Stodgy and Ill-Informed
Satire ON Bolshevism and
All Radicalism i'm General
THE CAST
By Haywood Broun

Booth Tarkington's new comedy,
"Poldekin," which was produced at the
Park Theater last night, is a satire on
Bolshevism, but unfortunately Mr..
Harrington does not know enough about
his subject to satirize it effectively. In
fact, we doubt whether he even knows
enough. to discuss it seriously. From
time to time he seems to have observed
in newspaper headlines such phrases
as 1.-The dictatorship of the proletariat"
or ECONOMIC determinism," and these
he has seized upon without having the
least idea Of their meaning. The re-
suit is curiously muddled and con-
fusing play which sounds not unlike an
encounter between the substitutes of
the scrub freshman debating team and
the. representatives Of che high school
seniors in a city of the second class.
The man behind US said that the les
son which he learned from the play
was that he ought to stick by his wife,
but nothing which we heard seemed as
definite as that. To 9orestall the
charge Of prejudice we are willing to
confess that we may be classed among
the parlor socialists, but we are not
a communist and do not feel that we
should necessarily be. out Of court in
considering play about Bolshevism
the broader sense, which identifies any
body who does not believe in a high
protective tariff against Sicilian lem
ons as dangerous agitator.
A curious confusion exists in his
mind which leads him to make no dis
tinction between q system Of govern
ment and an economic structure. Thus,
the implication of the play clearly
seems to be chat no one can be a good

$500 Honor: Two
New York Martyrs
For Ukraine .Jewry
Funeral Hymns Chanted and
Eulogies Spoken at Me-
morial Service for Fried
laemder and Rabbi Cantor

More than $500 Jews gathered in
Carnegie Hall last night to do honor
to the memory of Professor Israel
Friedlaender and Rabbi Bernard Can
tor, of New York, who persisted while on
mission of mercy IN behalf Of their
coreligionists in the Ukraine. Both
men were killed July s, 1920, by
bandits who held up their car, as they
were speeding to take relief to Sec
ton Of Ukraine Jewry.
Last nights meeting was a tribute
to the two men, both of whom stood
high in the service and estimation of
American Jewry. The hall was decor
ated in black, and a feature was the
chanting of Hebrew funeral hymns.
which brought forth tears to the eyes
Of the audience.
The principal address was by Louis
Marshall, who said that the names of
Prof. Friedlaender and Rabbi Cantor
will forever remain inscribed on the
lists of Jewish martyrs who had sac
rifced their lives for their race and
for humanity.
A letter from Felix Warburg, who is
now in Europe, was read by DR.. Cyrus
Adler, the chairman, in which Mr.. War
burg suggested the creation Of a fund
for the benefit of the families or the
two men. 1t is understood that fund
of 100000 has already been raised,
but this will be considerably increased.
A touching feature was the Interrupt
ton of the chairman's address by
Pinkus Friedlaender, father of Profess
sor Friedlaender, who, stricken with
grief, became hysterical and, walking
up to the chairman, sought permission
to speak. 1t was with difficulty that
he was led away after David Fried
lnender, another son, had interviewed.
Mr.. Marshall was followed by Rabbi
II. Masliansky, who delivered part Of
his address in the ancient Hebrew
tongue. He, too, placed the two dead
men in the category Of ancient Jewish
martyrs who suffered for their faith
and people. He said the Jews Of the
world would ever revere their heroic
sacrifice.
Others who made addresses were
Judge Julian Mack, Judge Abram !.
Elkus and DR.. Judah l.. Magnes.

Dismissed Hero-Fireman
Recommended for Retrial
Hirshfiela's Plea to Mayor Says
Tischler Was Not to
Blame for Assa1sla

Mayor Hylan received yesterday from,
David Hirshfield, Commissioner of Ac-
counts, d recommendation that re-
hearing be granted to former Fireman
Louis Fischer, on the assault charges
on which he was dismissed from the
department..
Fischer has been a fireman since
1916 and for q number of years was
attached to Truck No. 6. in Canal
Street. In April, 1919, he was working
at fire in Water Street when he was
reprimanded by Battalion Chief Jones,
Fischer attacked the chief, knocking
him down.
Since his dismissal from the depart
ment Fischer has been operating a
tsxicab. On the night Of August Is
he was in the vicinity Of Forsythe and
Grand streets when fire broke out
In tenement. Before the Fire De-
partment arrived, Fischer saved a
number Of persons who were cut off
from escape by flames. After that
episode official reports of his gallant
conduct were made by Joseph b. Mar
TN, Assistant Chief of Department, and
Henry B. Helm, Deputy Chief.
In recommending that fischer be
given another hearing on the charges,
Commissioner Hirshfield refers to his
acts Of heroism and asserts that the
assault was provoked by Chief Jones.

When James Ernest opened his bar

BARRIERS who assist Ernest prepared to
get busy. Then they discovered that
there wasn't razor, pair of clippers
or even a pair of scissors in the es-

Investigation on the part of the pro-
pretor revealed that all his best hair

the BARRIERS had to watch their CUSTOM

Of the most ringing speeches OF his
play, which is assigned to street
woman, a defense and glorifcation of
laissez-faire theory Of government,
which has not been held by either of
the major political parties of this
country for at least thirty years.
To be sure, Mr.: Harrington makes
the business Of being radical rather
unple asant, for he holds that love of
any color but black, partisanship of
spring as opposed to winter and en-
thusiasm for baseball are all the ex-
elusive property of those who believe
that both the governmental and the
economic structure of the United
States are the best which can be de-
vised by imperfect human nature. In
deed, there is almost suggestion that
spring itself is the creation of the
business efficiency Of modern America.
At no time during the play does Mr..
Harrington suggest that the world Of

centric and fantastic Russian who
travels to this country with a group Of
Bolshevist plotters and becomes con-
verified to American ideals. In his con-
version he carries with him the heroine,
who had been assigned to assassinate
some high governmental official. An
archism and Bolshevism seem synonyms
to Mr.. Harrington. Further than that,
the reformed Poldekin when ordered to
print seditious handbills runs off in
stead the Declaration of independence
and the Constitution Of the United
States, He is shot by one of his fellow
Reds, but in the new version of the
play he does not die, but lives to marry
the heroine. We think that the original
version, in which ~Poldekin was killed.
must have been much more satisfac-
tory, although even then he did not die
until the last act
The play is a mechanical piece of
propaganda, with much stodgy talk and
little action. None of the character
lzation is definite, but George Arliss
succeeds, nevertheless, in giving Almost
skilful performance as the hero. There
is an excellent tree in two of the acts,
and in the second act recipe for
making homemade liquor is offered.
1t consists Of taking the juice from a
can of tomatoes and mixing it in equal
proportions with jamaica ginger. We
have not yet been able to test this out
to see whether our second thoughts
about "Poldekin" are any more favor
able than our first.
