ARNOLD DAILY AT PALACE
IN FAREWELL SUPPER
Shares Headline Honors With
Miss Florence Walton.

Arnold DAILY reappeared In vaudeville
at the Palace yesterday In "The Fare
well Supper" one of "The Affairs OF
Anatol." by Arthur Schnitzler. which
appeared to have been jazzed up a bit
In spirit at least to meet the tastes Of
the two a day. Perhaps II was because
OF the weather-the act might have
been received more warmly if the at
mosphere had been cooler--but most Of
the animation seemed to be on Mr..
Daly's side rather than the audiences
side OF the footlights. But Ii was a good
act, as acts go. and Schnitzler Is at least
preferable to hokum.
Miss Florence Walton, sharing head
line honors with Mr.. Daily. was as
siduously graceful in her new dancing
act Miss Walton appears to have
grown a trifie plump since her last ap-
pearance, but that has only made her
prettier than ever by adding more
space for rulchritude. With Leon
Leitrim for a skillful partner she danced
several Of those floating waltzes that
show so convincingly that after all a
dancer can live his life without synco-
patton. There were several attractive
new gowns. Miss Walton's voice in her
single song is much better than that

satisfied till they spoil the lyric powers
Of their feet by warbling, and her smile
always gives an agreeable performance.

At fifteen minutes to twelve the ball
room was cleared for the grand climax to
the evening-Betty's coronation, after
which the celebration was to continue
until morning.
Ten minutes later, when everything was
arranged for the grand march and the
ceremonies that were to follow, the passen.
gers began looking for Betty.
She was nowhere to be found.
A hurried search was started, for the

At last a woman passenger was found who
remembered seeing the girl slip out of the
ballroom on her way to the cabin.

ever, with Betty temporarily forgotten

The gay crowd climbed up on chairs

bright tissue paper hats to the ceiling and
greeted the new year with a great shout
that was made more hysterical by the wild
shrieks of the orchestra, and the stamping
of feet on the floor.
The clamor arose from the ballroom to
the hurricane deck and reached the ears
of trembling, gray-faced girl who sided

As she crept out upon the deck and
stood staring with wide, frightened eyes
at the smooth black swells that broke
against the ships steel prov no one would
have recognized her as the vivscious Betty

Sudden torment had carved deep, harsh
lines In her face, In ten minutes she had

There was Q cold terror reflected In those

stsrboard railing and she stared in fasci

Mechanically she raised her arm. Her
frail fingers, blue with cold. clasped the
steel superstructure that rose from the
deck. One lace-covered knee. as il from

upright, her bare arms clinging to the

She leaped-outward!
There was q dull. faraway splash. She
rose and foated for an instant like a pink
flower in the black void. Then the great
ship rode swiftly past, its big whistles now
echoing across the waves.
The party lasted until daybreak, when
the ship was nearing the Golden Gate.
Then someone thought to see how Betty
felt. When a timid rap on her stateroom
door brought no answer they decided not
to disturb her.
But during the night Edna Larghi, the
nine.year-old sister Of Mrs. N. w. Sheldon.
Betty's closest friend, had had strange
dream which she repeated to her mother
as soon as she awoke.

Mrs Sheldon was inclined to scoff, but
The child's anxiety was too real. Hurried.

room. She knocked on the door, at first
cautiously, and then, as she received no

Government by
Daugherty

If the strike of the
shopmen was ever lille
gal il was illegal two
months ago when 1t was
called. In the interval
the president himself
has negotiated with the
strike leaders; he has
declared publicly that
the transportation act
did not make it manda-
tory on either side TO
obey the decisions of
the labor board which
in point of fact the ex-
ecutives had disregarded
far oftener than the
workers: he has rebuked
the effort TO destroy the
unions: and his first
proposals for settling
the strike recognized the
right of the strikers to
hold tn ose seniority
privileges which have
become outwardly the
crux Of the conflict.
Is il any wonder that
labor unions are talking
that new thing in Amer
lean life, a general
strike?
To those who, like The
Nation. regard all strikes
as clumsy and wasteful
means of securing what
ought better to be guar
anteed by n proper or
ganization. the thought
Of a general strike is
appalling. We doubt If
the workers are as yet
in a position to make II
succeed and we pro-
foundly hope that the
court and public opinion
may yet make ii mani
testify unnecessary.
But the workers must
not and will not forever
submit to tyranny. IL is
our concern that they
discover means of re-
sistance as little hurtful
as possible and as far
removed as possible from
the violence Mr.. Daugh-
erty's methods invite.
