THE CAST
The new proceedings at The Play

The new proceedings at The Play
house last night may be tabled as
preposterous though not hurtful, per-
forming, as they did, some absurd ex-
ercises in romance of the simple kind.
The entertainment evolved was thus
naive, and it owned the beeuiling quail
ity of wholesomencss. But its princi-
PAL value was as feat in improbable
ties, and If you are amused by the in
genuous antics of queer people upon
the stage "Wait Till We're Married"
will possibly provide you with reerea-
ton.
It's chief character (Robert Duffy
WAS sappy youth of no bad habits
He was pure at heart, ignorant of the
ways of the world, sedentary to the
point OF loathing the outdoor sports,
and at making love he was not effica-
sious. He had soft voice and con-
Science. His lips had seldom touched
liquor. His mind was so full of worthy
Thought that he hadn't moment for
fnischief. Bashful, innocent and with
IN income of $55 weekly as craftsman,
he was selected by 8 smart and person
nble young heiress as her partner in
wedlock. While drowning one day he
bieated for assistance and she rescued
him from the water. AS one of the
characters explained, he couldn't swim,
though he had served with the tanks in
Europe.
That she might grow accustomed to
him and his mode Of life the young
woman (Miss Marion Coakley) visited
his humble Staten Island homestead.
There she encountered the irritating
presence Of his aunts, three fantastic
spinsters, of varying degrees of ec-
centricity. She managed to bear with
their vexatious peculiarities for time,
but when her betrothed on the wedding
day declined to accept q present of
100000 from his uncle (Rapley
Holmes) because the money had been
earned in politics, she revolted and
called it off.
Messrs. Hutcheson Boyd and Rudolph
Bunner, the authors. then hit upon
what is known in the drama as an idea.
They caused Miss Oakley to repent her
rebellion, and after year had elapsed
they brought her back to the farm a
changed woman. Silk stockings, mo-
tors, cigarettes, the use of the exple-
tive "damn," late arising and other
vicious habits had been banished, and
she had become newer of wood and
drawer of water, interested in the
poultry and the vegetables. Mr.. Duffy,
on the other hand, was sent to Newport
under the auspices of his wicked uncle,
SO that he might return to Staten lei
and sagacious man of the world. This
he did with four automobiles, a man
servant and the practices, appearance
and demeanor of what was referred 20
in the play as "our set" The romance
was thereuron renewed and the en-
tertainment ceased.
Mr.. Morosco's cast is an efficient bsnd
Of agreeable personalities, and it did
wonders last night with the bland mon
dacities of the tale. The comedy is r.
product of Mr.. Morosco's Los Angeles
producing center.

After the revolution 1t was quite
the thing to be either a newspaper
proprietor or at least part owner OF
newspaper enterprise. Many
prominent papers in the province,
once representing important parts
of public opinion. have passed into
the hands of industrial groups,
whose members puHsue the double
purpose of hiding their inflated
profits from taxation and of exer-
cising an. influence upon taxation
laws.
A portion of these papers have
thereby lost readers, who have
grown suspicious. But the fresh
money of the newly rich flowing to
them permitted them to conduct
propaganda. These papers talked
in a manner not hitherto customary
in Germany. 1t was such organs
that criticized the Wirth cabinet

Japanese Reply

Agreement Hope
Shantung Question Like
Ig to Ai0ait Discussion
At Arms ParIey.

Prospects Of settlement of the
Shantung issue between the gov
ernments Of China and Japan be-
fore the International conference
on limitation OF armament con-
"enes in Washington next moath
went giimmering yesterday with the
Publication through the Japan .se
Embassy here OF Japsn's reply TO
China on the latter-s memorandum
O. October 5 bearing on the contro-
ysrty. ~
The Japanese government ex-
presses a keen desire for speedy
settlement of the Shantung dispute
and invites further negotiations to
that end, but takes decided views
in opposition to the Chinese atti-
tude as expressed in a reply to
Japan's proposals of an earlier
date.
The failure to agree upon a basis
OF settlement, will in the opinion
OF Washington statesmen preclude
any further progress in the nego-
tiations between the two powers
before the date set for the Wash
ington conference which will pri-
marily discuss the problems of the
Pacific and the East. Such a re-
suit will leave Shantung one of
the outstanding sources of dis
pute and make it a subject of
supreme Importance before the con-
ference in all probability.
Japan in the latest note to China
feels aggrieved at the attitude OF
China toward the former japanese
proposals regarding Shantung and
fatty denies the claim of China
that she Is entitled to the return
of former German territory uncon-
ditionally. This, the Japanese gov
crnment observes. mas no justifica-
tion either in international law OF
under existing treaties between
China and Japan.

The Japanese women do not

Systems Want
Men to Strike,
Says w. G. Lee

CLEVELAND, Oct 22.-w. C.
Lee, president of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, issued a
statement tonight in which he re-
iterated charges that the purpose
of the railroad companies at this
time is to force a strike.
They know that transportation
employees cannot live on the pro-
posed wages" he said. They real
ize the temper of the men. and
they have contributed everything
they possibly could 20 incite the
men to leave the. service.
They believe that now is the
time to destroy the ORGANIZATIONS
and have a free hand, so far as
managing their labor is concerned,
TO the end that the railway COM
panies may continue to thrive at
the expense of their, employees. and
certainly not to the profit of the
American people. Six million out
of work is the reason" -
Brotherhood chiefs expressed
confidence tonight in the determi-
nation OF their followers to, stand
by their guns in the transportation
strike called for October 80.

SURTAX MAXIMUM
MADE 50 Per CENT
AT BLOC'SDEMAND
Senate Surmounts Big
Stumbling Block on
Revenue Road.

One of the crucial points of dif-
ference in the pending tax bill was
settled yesterday when the Senate.
by vote of 81 to 13, adopted the
compromise amendment Of the ag-
ricultural bloc. fixing so Per cen:
as the maximum surtax rates on
incomes
All attempts to overthrow the
compromise were swept aside by
overwhelming margins. An "Old
guard" effort to substitute the 81
per cent maximum provided in the
House bill was voted down, is to
90, and a Democratic attempt 20
retain the present maximum rate
OF 65 per cent was defeated, 20 to
10.
When the Senate adjourned an
amendment offered by Senator
Gerry. of Rhode Island, to cut the
rate from to > per cent on in
comes below $4,000 was pending.
Want to Relieve Poor Man.
Senator McCuh1 er. of North Da-
kota. in charge OF the bill in tho
absence of Senator Penrose, de-
CARED that adoption of Garry's
aniehdment would result IN an an
nuaI loss of $I5O,OOO.0OO in revc-
nue.. Senator Lodge said he wanted
to get official figures from the
Treasury before the vote was
taken.
More than 5000. 900 taxpayers
with moderate incomes would BE-
effected by the amendment, Gerry
said. The Senate having reduced th,.
taxes of wealthy individuals. TIL.
Democrats and insurgent Republic
cans were prepared to make a de-
termtncd fight for the proposal.
Bitterness marked the days de-
bate. A sharp verbal clash be-
tween Senator PenrOse and Senator
Reed, Missouri, occurred, when the
Missouri Senator accused Penrose
of attempting to relieve profiteers
of $3.50, .OOO' in surtaxes.
Night Sessions Soon.
Penross's reply was a sarcastic
reference to the fact that Reeds
attack was wasted on "empty
benches" Penrose then left the
chamber and announced that night
sessions would begin tomorrow 20
hasten disposition of the bill.
While Gerry was urging adoption
OF his mendment, PenrOSe took a
fling at the Rhode Island Senator by
remarking that he had not attended
more than 1 per cent of the meet
ings of the Finance Committee" 3"
Gerry hotly retorted that the
charge was 'unjustified and absc-
luteiy' untrue" He said Penrose
had been absent from the meetings
more than any other member.
DemNnd Attendance.
During 'he day. Republican
Leader Lodge and Senator Curtis,
Republican whip" sent another
letter to Republican Senators
sharply warning them to be on hand
during the consideration of the tax
bill.

RATE REDUCTIONS
ON GRAIN In WEST
Charges on Hay, Wheat,
And Products Are
Lowered.

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion yesterday ordered freight rates
on hay, grain and grain products
reduced in the Western and Pacific
Mountain States.
This was the second step in the
governments effort to avert a rail
strike The first was the citation
by the Labor Board of brotherhood
chiefs to answer TO charges Of hav-
ing refused to obey the boards wage
reduction ruling.
The rate reduction ordered yes
terday. and effective Immediately. is
but preliminary to other reductions
in the East the commission indi-
Gated. In a discussion or the situa-
tiOn the commission declared freight
rates too high. II declared. in effect.
that the railroads are better able
to stand rate cuts than the farmers
are to pay present freight rates
Says Rates Abnormal
In a separate opinion, Commits
sioner Potter. while concurring in
the action of the commission, de-
clared the railroads have ne right
10 insist upon maintaining present
high rates on the ground that wages
are high.
''On the face Of things" said
Potter, there is nothing in the
wage situation to justify a rate
level entirely abnormal. and which
Is menacing the country's welfare. -
The rate reductions will amount
to $4,000, 900 . year. On wheat, the
new rate will average 2 cents a
bushel lower than the present rate
according to railroad statisticians
Equal Half July Increases.
The commissions order was thai
On wheat and hay the rates should
be reduced by al amount equslinE
one-half the increases allowed by
the commission in July this yeal
on the same commodities OF
coarse grains the reduction is ap-
proximately 10 per cent.
One other development here yes
terday further indicates that tn,
government is not in. a mood q
concede anything. The Senate In
terstate Commerce Committee, il
reporting to the Senate the revised
railroad relief bill, included al
amendment expressly denying tn,
railroads right TO set up the 'fnefh'
cheney Of labor" during government
control of the railroads as a CLAIM

The railroad bill is scheduled fol
