BURNING INCENSE

Joseph Jefferson, remembered as one of this countrys greatest actors, made much of his reputation in the play Rip Van Winkle," in which his part. Often he turned aside and spoke to the faithful animal which was never visible to the audience for no dog was there He was once asked why he did not have a real dog on the stage, and the great actors response was that acting should not be nature itself, but a holding of the mirror up to nature. The veteran scorned the use of something tangible in his abli- ty to bring to life a creature of the imagination.
 The burning of incense to give at mosphere to a moving picture is as out of place as are the attempts to make the spectators hear the report of a gun, by exploding that tirearm, the moment the hero shoots the vil- lain The adoption of this means Of bringing reality to the picture is a resort to means which are not only inartistic but which may make DOT tions of the story shown on the screen lidicrous. If, for instance, the aroma of the incense remains in the theatcr, as it is apt to do all through the tell ing of the story, there are sure to come scenes in which such odor will be most inappropriate. The smell of incense would destroy, rather than en- nance, the strength of q battle scene. There the odor Of gunpowder might take it's place, but the same error of artistry would here be found, for the atmosphere of the battle has no place in a picture of peace-which might follow immediately after the fighting had ceased
 Of course the matter of most inn pbIldllt'' lb I'Ol'l' lo ll'' N''''N N''' burning of incense is an unfair means of making the picture seem realistic if real art is to be considered. The important point is that is brings dan ger of fire similar to that of the Rial to theater in New Haven.
 As far as this city is concerned no such risks have been taken, according 10 information at hand. The managers of the theaters here may not be critt- aisad on that score as far as may be learned.
 It will be good news 10 movie fans however, to know that the burning of anything for the purpose of producing the odor of smoke in theaters is strict y against the police regulations of Inc state as just announced. Of real is this rule as well as others made to safeguard the people who find enjoyment in attending mo-

THE FOLR-POWER TREATY

Yesterdays news brought word of the general satisfaction felt by the delegates to the Washington confer ence over the probability Of the adop- ton of the four-power treaty to pre- serve peace in the Pacific,
 Today it is reported that Senator Hitchcock who fought for the Treaty of Versailles and the League of Ma tions, and who is the ranking Demo- cratic member of the Senate, favors | the treaty's provisions. It is to be assumed that the Republican mem bers, with the possible exception of some of the old "irrcconcilable" group, will see the treaty's advantages as it is a product of the Republican ad- minstration, and will support it's rati- tication.
 Senator Borah cannot consistently pass by the treaty's close resemblance, in theory, to the Covenant. He may speak and fight against such ratih- cation, but if he allows political wis dom to govern him he will make q less strenuous exhibition of his an tagonism to anything savoring of world understanding that he did when the League of Nations covenant was under consideration.
 Perhaps as good criterion of the situation is the fact, if true as report ed, that Japan and the United States are about to discontinue work on fortifcations in the Pacific. They, 1t is said, will remain as they are for the 10-year life of the treaty, or as long as the four powers abide by it.
 It is significant that at least one of the members of the irreconcible group who, in private conversation, denounced the League in the first stages of it's consideration, is now listed as one who will favor the rati- fication of this treaty. No one could have been more honest in his convic- ton that the League and Covenant were dangerous beyond contemplation. Today he and others who expressed themselves as firmly as did he, see only good, apparently, in the crystalli- zation of the idea without which there could be no proposed and prac- tically accepted four-power treaty.
 The 'i's" have been dotted and the "t's" crossed, but those who favored port this form of protective treaty, there being no man in authority to demand "all or none."

 OF WIFE HE KILLED
Peter Kahl Returns To Manage Hotel Of MOther-in-LaW After Murder
 Acquittal

Middletown, N. Y, Dec. 12--Peter Kahl of MiddletoWn, who was ac- quilted late Friday night of the inur- der of his wife, Laura, in Monticello, returned to Middletown today to the hotel where the tragedy occurred and where he was manager. The hotel is owned by his mother-in-law Mrs, Howard Darling, who stood by him during the trial, furnished money for his defense and who announced to- day that kahl would continue in charge of the hotel
 There was suggestion of theun- written law in the trial, which led to his acquittal by a jury of twelve mar ried men. He shot and killed his wife at ? o'clock on the morning of April ?, when she returned to the with George Turner, an engineer of Long Island City. They had been to a dance and it was indicated by the evidence that Kahl intended the bullet for Turner.
 The defense did not deny that Kahl shot his wife, but called specialists to the stand to prove that he was suffer- ing from a form of insanity at the time. Judge Hasbrouck charged the jury that it could find a verdict of murder or manslaughter, or acquit Kahl if they were convinced that he was not rpsnonSih1e for his a rt at tb a time., The jury was out two hours and forty minutes. The most unusual feature of the case was the staunch support of Kahl by his mother-in- law.

In other words the tendency is. in those who came as strangers to the United States to believe that the things that tho Americans do and say are the right things to do and say in this country Their hopes of success are high when they come: they admire America else they would not have come; they take at face value the things they arc taught-taught not only by words but by the actions of Americans which the foreign-born are, quick to note.
 There is in this fact the evidence of a great trust imposed upon people of this country in their dealings with those who come here. evince the de- sire to do their parts and become good citizens until, perhaps, they learn that every American is not a mission ary-that the ways Of some Americans are not the good ways which, in their innocence they attributed to them And when a person of foreign birth Is once disilluslonzcd. although it may be because of the acts of one man or one group of men merely it is al- most impossible to restore against his faith in this country and it's citizens
