AM EASEMENTS
SNIGHTIE NIGHT"
 FARCE COMEDY
By EsTELLE BErHEA HALE

"Nightie Night" will be the offering at the Jefferson for three performances, Monday night, Tuesday night with a special matinee Tuesday, October 11-12. This smart farce comedy comes fresh from it's run of an entire season at the Princess Theatre, where it scored tremendous success, and was con- sidered by the critics the best play that was produced in New York last year and played to capacity audiences at every performance.
 Adolph Klauber had promised the theatregoers something out of the ordinary, and they were expecting much of the producer that has been associated with MT. Selwyn in the pro- duction of Twin Beds" and Fair and Warmer to say that they were not disappointed when "Nightie Night" opened in the metropolis was proven not only by it's long run and the large attendance, but also by the way it was received by the critics. It is a play without single flaw and received the unanimous indorsement of the entire press as the real gem of the season.
 In sending "Nightie Night" on tour MT. Klauber has lived up to his past reputation of selecting an excellent cast to present his splendid farce and each member has been engaged by him and there is not a detail lacking to make the play success,

STRIKE IS PREDICTED
New Orleans Street Car Men Likely
 To Walk Out Soon
By Associated press

By Associated Press
 New Orleans, October S-The refusal ol Receiver OKeefe of the local street car company to accede to the- demndas of the street carmen's union for increased wages has created critical situatio,,. A meeting of the executive board of the union has been called for Saturday this to be followed by a meeting of all ths members of the union, and it is being predicted by union men that d strike will be called as soon as a vote can be taken.
 The receiver gave as grounds for his refusal of the demands of the carmen that the report of the special masters ap- pointed to investigate the merits of the controversy,/m made an increase in wages contingent upon an increase in street car fares to 8 cents, and that he was without authority to comply with the re- quest of the carmen.
 Officials of the union who conferred with theSreceiver today explained to him that the men feel that they should not be required to continue working at in sufficient wages while the matter of an increase in car fare lis buffeted from court to court"

THOMPSO ATTACK
 ON GOV. HARDING
Charges Federal Reserve Board With Studied Misunderstand-
 ing of Cotton Situation
By Associated Press

New Orleans, October S.-The fed eraI reserve board was charged with studied misunderstanding of the ex- isting cotton Nondition by W. B. Thompson of this city, chairman of the Louisiana division of the Ameri- can Cotton Association, who is wide ly known as one of the leading cot ton factors of the nation, in state- ment made here today.
 The sharp comments of MT. Thomp- son. who was formerly president of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange, were made in reply to statements of w. P. G. Harding, president of the board of governors of the federal re- serve board, who was quoted as say ing in Birmingham that the board would not assist in the holding of cot ton for higher prices
 MT Thompson's reply was as fol- lows;
 The press reports of statements by Governor Harding of the federal re- serve board, at Birmingham today il- lustrated the studied misunderstanding of the issue which has marked the attitude and utterances of the federal reserve board through it's recent de- flation campaign.
 "Governor Harding says that the federal reserve system was not es- tablished to assist plans for holding commodities off the market nor is it at the disposal of speculative enter prises organized to advance private in- terests.
 The attitude of the federal reserve board always pre-supposes that the movement of the cotton producers ito hold cotton in the present crisis was on oft n nrnfifaar nr pYfnrf unreasonable profits and thereupon it declares it's righteous determination not to aid in such nefarious undertak- ings.
 "The truth of the matter is, that due largely to the deflation policy or rather to the assault with intent to deflate activities of th8 said board there is really no market for cotton in the true sense of the word, and the producer is struggling, no%to ex tort anything from anybody, but to save his economic life."

SAYS DIE IS CAST
Monroe Doctrine Also Strapped By
 Harding, Declares Roosevelt
By Associated Press

By Associated Press Des Moines, Iowa, October S-Replvine to Senator Hardings criticism of the League of Nations made from the same platform less than 36 hours before. Franklin D. Roosevelt, democratic vice. presidential nominee, addressing an aud- fence in the Coliseum here tonight, charged that the republican candidate has "scrapped the Monroe Doctrine along with $he league.
 "The die is cast.' lie said. ''The issued is joined Three months have passed in the attempt to establish out of Senator Harding's own mouth his de- termination that the United States shall under no circumstances join hands with forty-one nations to end future wars From now on the existing League of Nations becomes the overshadowing issue in this campaign
 From now on. his leadership is that of Little Americanism.' of Chinese wall seclusion; of America against the world In November the American people will vote, not on the mere question of who is to be president for the next four years, but on the proposition affecting the future of the United States for gem erations to come
 "The purpose and conception of the League of Nations, he continued '.is a deliberate carrying out of the highest teachings of Christianity. In this the churches and teachers of the land are united America retaining all our na- tional rights must in good faith keen faith. Senator Harding has not only made it clear that he opposes the keep ing of that faith. but he has also said without qualification that he is without a specific foreign policy at the present time"
 MT. Roosevelt declared it was "a waste of breath to ask Senator Harding where he stood on other issues of the cam paign because "we know beforehand from experience that he will answer one way in the morning and another in the eve hing" The only thing Mir. Hardin~ really seeks to accomplish. he added, ''is 10 sit safely on the top of the political fence until election dav has passed" ["

BRITISH PILGRIMS
 REACH RICHMOND
Come to Pay Homage to CiviIi- zation TranspIanted By the
 Early Pioneers
By Associated Press

Richmond Va, October S.-Historic Richmond is tonight the hostess of Brit lsh pilgrims, delegates of the Sulgrave lhstltute, come to pay homage to the civilization transplanted in the western hemisphere by the early pioneers. In old St. Johns Church tomorrow they will stand on the spot where the great patriot, Patrlck Henry. asserting the ideals of freedom whichNhis ancestors brought with tbem from Britain, uttered the cry for liberty that called the colonsts to arms. The distinguished visitors came to the capital of the Old Dominion after a visit to Jamestown, first outpost of Anglo Saxon civilization in the west, and to the old towns of Williamsburg and Hampton famous in early history
 Lord Rathcreedan, head of the party from the mother country, summed up the result of their visit in an eloquent speech tonight at the Westmoreland Club, where they were rendered a reception.
 We came to Virginia" he said, "to find friends. We have found them Our feel ing of kinship and friendliness has been intensified in Richmond, the beautiful World-famous capital of the Old Do- rlinion.
 During the dark days of the war when we had our backs to the wall facing powerful enemy, we felt no fear for the future, for we knew that America, actuated by common inheritance, by the same ideals for which we were fighting, would never see the Union Jack go down any more than they would the Stars and Strires. swl
 That is how confident we were of your unity with us. And when the proper time came you did come to our side, with what splendid courage and achievement tfle whole world knows

GOOD MORNING, JUDGE"

Sir Arthur Wing Penero's farcA, "The Magistrate" with a musical set ting and a new name, was presented at the Jefferson theatre last night by Shep Camp and a capable com pany.
 over the average musical comedy, so far as plot is concerned. It is diff ferent from the usual style of such entertainment and combines witty dimes with amusing situations. When a more or less staid English magis. trate, of considerable dignity as well as corpuIency, is Ted astray" by his harum- -scafGm stepson and narrowly escapes from a raid on a notorious night resort in London, only to sen- tence his wife and sister-in-law the next morning for being caught on the same premises, but for q very in- nocent purpose, forms the basis of highly exhilarating farce.
 The magistrates wife had been mar ried before and it was to persuade an old friend. lately returned from India not to expose the feminine fic- tion that she was five years older than she had told the magistrate she was, and her son instead of being four teen years of age, as she pretended, was really nineteen, that she and her sister-in-law were involved in a some what compromising escapade.
 Shep Camp is a large, humorous per son whose abilities as comedian have full scope in this play MT. Camp has tnI ri nfn playing serious roles as well as the lighter parts. He is seen at his best in the mirth- provoking episodes of Good Morning, Judge" His physical proportions give a comic relief to his skill as an actor. If he overlooked any of the humorous possibilities of Magistrate Horatio Needles, with little touch of the old Adam in his system, it was not apparent to large audience which laughed over his sue cessive predicaments last night.
 Sue Parker. a dainty and fetching prima donna. who is not unknown tc local playgoers sings and acts with her accustomed grace in the role of Joy Chatterton. music mistress and fiancee of Hughie Cavanagh. the judges precocious stepson, who has surprising appetite for alcoholic li- quors and fast company, for a youth of his supTSsedly tender years.
 Clyde Dilson gave an excellent &C., countof himself in this juvenile role He sings, dances and is well fitted, both in appearance and ability, for tho character he portrays. John Gilfillan, another funmaker of comfortable, not to say "Arbuckleian" proportions, is a mirthful fellow magistrate of Ho- ratio Needles, who does him a good turn in an emergency. Lillian Lee
