an engagement of three nights and
Saturday matinee, beginning Thurs
day evening, Dec. 20. in her latest CON-
edy success, Wake Up, Jonathan"
Mrs. Fiske is one actress whose
name is synonymous with all that is
fine. wholesome, ambitious and cul-
tured on the American stage. Her
career in the theatre dates back to the
time when she was three years old.
She was a star at the age of 16, and
since then her work has been of
character to command the respect
and admiration of the critics and to
win the hearts of the playgoers.
Her newest play, Wake Up, Jona-
than" has everywhere been pronounced
the most charming and brilliant We
hicle in which she has appeared in
many years. New York enjoyed it all
last season at the Henry Miller the
atre, and her tour of the principal cit
les this season has been one continu-
Gus triumph. Her engagement in
Cincinnati recently not only brought
out a series of huge and fashionable
audiences, but the newspapers devoted
columns of space to praising Mrs.
Fiske, her company and her play.
Wake Up, Jonathan" is story of
modern American home life. 1t is the
work of Hatcher Hughes, professor of
the drama at Columbia university, and
Elmer l.. Rice, popular dramatist,
and they have created something really
original in the way of play. 1t is a
merry comedy woven of serious
threads, causing profound thought as
well as hearty laughter
Sam H Harris has surrounded Mrs.
Fiske with a cast Of capable players,
all of whom have been retained for the
present tour.

SALES TAX TURNED
DOWN BY SENATE
AFTER LONG FIGHT
Florida Delegation | S
Lined Up Against
Measure
SMOOT WILL TRY AGAIN
Will Cut Rate of Tax
and Offer Same
Proposal
tBy Associated rr-yp.,

Washington, Nov. 3.-The sales
tax was rejected tonight by the
senate. The vote, 43 against 45 for
rejection, was on proposal by Sena-
tor Smoot, of Utah, for a one per
cent levy with exemptions provided
in the case Of sales by farmers of
the products of their farms, sales by
public utilities and those by the
United States or any foreign gov
ernment or any state or territory,
the army and navy and hospitals.
The Democrats, including both
Florida senator's, voted solidly against
the sales tax and were joined by
seventeen Republicans.
Vote Regarded AS Decisive
The vote was regarded generally
as decisive of the whole question of
a sales ta& at this time, but imme-
diately after it had been announced
Senator Smoot offered another am
endment embodying a business sale
tax of one half of one per cent. on
gross sales in excess of $4,000 a
year. This went over until tomor-
row and Senator Smoot said he did
not think that consideration of it
would consume much time.
In the debate on the defeated
manufacturers sale tax plan some
Republican leaders indicated that a
sale tax might have to be provided
for in connection with the soldiers
bonus bill which they predicted would
be passed at the next session of con-
gress.
Before taking up the sale tax the
senate perfected the committee bill
with the adoption of some additional
by individual senator's.
The program for tomorrow was some
what indefinite as Democratic leaders
had not fully made known their
plans with regard to the soldier bo-
nus amendments. 1t was expected,
however, that these would be reached
tomorrow and Senator Penrose, of
Pennsylvania, in charge of the tax
bill, said he thought it might safe.
ly be said that final vote on the
measure could be reached by Satur-
day night.

British Peer Had Express
sed Belief y. S. Would
Enter Alliance
(By Associated Press.)

Liverpool, Nov. 3.-George Harvey
'United States Ambassador to Great
Britain, told an audience at the Liver.
pool Chamber of Commerce tonight
that it was futile to hope that Amer.
lea, as Lord Derby recently had beer
suggesting, might som eday be merg.
ed in a definite alliance with Great
Britain and France.
This statement was made as a di-
gression from an address on econo-
mics and the international industrial
situation in which the American am
bassador attacked communism and
socialism and defended the principle
of individualism.
Reputes Derby's Statements.
In his depression, Ambassador
Harvey recalled Lord Derby's state
ment in recent address in Birming-
ham, in which the latter voiced the
conviction that the success of the
Washington armament conference
would mean peace and that its failure
would mean war in the immediate
future. The Ambassador alsoe called
Lord Derby's suggestion to former
President Poincaire of France at a
dinner last Tuesday, that an Anglo
French alliance would be desirable
in the interest of peace, intimating
that the "strong hope" that America
might eventually join the combina-
ton.
Nov it seems to have fallen to
my unhappy lot since l have been
in England" continued Mr.. Harvey,
"to dispel illusions respecting the at
titude of the United States"
Washington Fixed Policy
Our first President" he went on,
"fixed the foreign policy of the
United States clearly and unequivo-
cally when he adjured his country
men never to enter a permanent al
lance with any other power. This
policy has been reaffirmed by prac-
tically all his successors. 1t was re-
iterated with great positiveness in
our late national campaign by our
present President and was confirm
ed by a majority of the people so
great as to be beyond the pale of
comparison"
The speaker expressed the hope
that a guarantee not only of peace
but Of prosperity would come from
the Washington conference which he
said he anticipated would result and
enhance commercial cooperation as
the logical sequence of the political
concurrence between Great Britain
and the United States.
