Ruth Shepley looks her prcttiest in
Her Salary Man." a comedy by For
rest Rutherford, which. John Cort, in
association with Alex Aaronsohn, pre-
sented last night at the Cort Thcater.
And whether she or Grace Carlyle is
the lovelier probably will be the most
engrossing speculation connected with
the play. This monumental consdera-
tion, however, may we'll repay visit
I to the Cort, unless you already have
formed an opinion which no evidence
could change. In that case stand by
the courage of your convictions.
Emily Sladen, whose charming coun-
terfeit is assigned to Miss Shepley, is
an orphan left heiress to Il million, but
in custody Of a prudish and puritanc
aunt, hedged away from sinful but
happy society. The only men of her
acquaintance believe that the Ken
tucky Derby is hat. Therefore Emily
yearns; yearns aloud for husband
and emancipation from Aunt Sophie.
INV WStau SNSi NSu a pdUpSI anu pay
him fat salary for his name
The wish is overheard by. a news
paper reporter and the publicity brings
many of the tribe Of Jason in quest of
the Golden Fleece. Into the situation
comes Bunny Brown whose wealth is
in indirect ratio to the length of his
name. He is innocently mistaken for
a suitor, taken for husband and then
a contract in gross contravention of
public policy is drawn up providing
for absentee relationship between
wife and her salary man.
And the remainder of the business of
three acts is to overcome Emily's
natural repugnance to perfectly de-
cent, good looking chap with e fortune
and impeccable family connections.
This distance is finally accomplished
and the way lies through parlor, bed
room, bath and clothes closet provided
with convenient doors for surprise en-
frances. Any reasonably far-seeing
playgoer knows as soon as the curtain
rises on that bedroom just what man
is ordained to hop in and out of the
closet.
The play is short, but not too short

Nut Standard;y Bolt Too Small
 Claims Graham

"Everything on this job at the Crane company, being done by the Beaumont company, was all right, and a whole lot better than on a lot of jobs right in this town, where the way things are done Is criminal. The nut that gave way and caused the death on the eighth of the month of Harry KearI1, was standard, and the bolt too small, due to 1t having been rethreaded several times to save a few pennies" This was the state ment of Frank H. Graham at the hearing held this morning by Coroner John J. Phelan.
 Tho nut and bolt In question are believed to have come with steel sup :. piled by the Porcuptne company or tower on the property of the Crane company Graham was on one end of a steel girder being lifted in place by machinery. A bolt. now in the possession of the coroner, Is believed to have been the one that gave way end, throwing KeariI Into space. His body struck several esteel girders be- fore landing tsl a pit, 12 feet below the last girder. and he was dead be- lance arrived on the scene of the ac' ctdent.
 Other witnesses examined this morning were Walter L. Eiwood, of sa Franklin street, a labor foreman employed by the Crane company; Dwight P. Traverse.

May Scrap
 All Ships OF
 Capital Type

concrete proposal for limitation of naval arnnaments-the crux of the arms conference-was presented to- day by Secretary Hughes at the very opening of the first session. Briefly it Is as follows:
 MT: Hughes laid down four general principles:
 That all capital ship building program, either actual or projected, should be abandoned.
 2-That further reduction should be made through the scrapping of cer- tain of the older ships
 S-That in general, regard should be had to the existing naval strength of the powers concerned.
 4-That the capital ship tonnage should be used as the measurements of strength for navies and a propor- donate allowance of auxiliary com blatant craft prescribed,
 For the United States the program would scrap all capital ships under construction. fifteen in number and fifteen of the older battleshfps,
 Great Britain would stop construc- ton on her four new ships of the Hood type and scrap all her second and first line battleships up to the King George V. class.
 erican government proposed that no more ships be laid down for the next ten years and that a maximum re- placement tonnage figure be fixed pro- Vid1ng eVentually lUf Oou,UOV IOiio toi the United States, 5O0,0OO tons for Great Britain and 3Oo,o00 tons for Japan.
 Japan would abandon plans for two battleshfps and four battle cruisers not vet laid down and in addition would scrap three capital ships and four battle cruisers in process of com struction and all ten or the pre- dreadnaughts ana pat1iesiiip9 oA s"o second line.
 A proviso also would be included nermitting replacement of eap}'ai shins when they were twenty years oid ard prohibiting construction or any ship built in replacement with q tonnage of more than 35,oGO tons
