CURTAIN RUNG DOWN
 ON WORLDS LARGEST THEATRE STRUCTURE
Forty Million Persons Have Watched Mammoth Spec
 tacle At Hippodrome

NEW YORK, Apri. 3s.-Prancing ponies, diving Lady Godivas. yipping Redskins. dancing elephants, caper- ing clowns-and all the other spec tacies which are so pleasing to one desiring escape from reality-played
 The Hippodrome. the largest theatre In the world, has been crowded out by big business. As it's doors close tonight workmen will start dismantling the structure to make room for building which will produce greater dividends.
 Marceline, world famous clown. proved his right of being during tho closing performance. Marceline. like the clowns of the story books. made thousands laugh while his heart was weeping because his playhouse was no more. The audience, however, while laughing at Marceline's sham, also was weeping. inwardly.
 Forty million persons-most Of them from out-of-town - have watched the Mammoth spectacles in the lIlppodrome in the last Is years. Just last night a Census" of the audience was taken. Every state in the union was represented but Utah South Carolina and Rhode Island, and Marceline arose to remark that trains from those states must have been late.
 Back in 1904 Frederick Thompson. who sprang into the limelight out in Coney Island with his feature, "A Trip to the Moon" conceived the idea of a mammoth playhouse-a national institution.
 So Thompson and his associates pushed the old car barns from the corner of Sixth avenue and Forty third street and erected the Hippo drome.
 The first spectacle was put on April 12, 1905, and called "A Yankee Circus On Mars" Frank Mel

 Hope Reposes in Democrats.
 On the side of the President are Secretaries Hughes and Hoover Will liam H. Taft, chief justice of the su- preme court. and that vast school or republicans who deplored the manner In which partisanship in 1920 de- stroyed the dream of the League Of Nations. In Congress. the main hope of the courts success reposes in democrats. Practically all of them, unless the attitude of former Presi- dent Wilson, which is opposed to the Presidents plan for entering the court, should affect them. would support the Presidents appeal. The small fry" of republicans in Con- gress are behind the President-espe- cially true of the House membership but this class is without particular power.
 The practical politicians" of the republican organization declare the as result of the Presidents espousal of American participation in the leagues court is the fact that 1t gave certain of his ambitious opponents an issue which would have appeal to fair percentage of the republican tied" until the President gave him an issue. He wanted to run for the nomination. But he couldn't break with the administration respecting the tariff because, after having re- ceived the protection he decired for hA fo oR ra1s ported the tariff. He could not break because of the shipping bill The maritime interests of California made it incumbent on him to support subsidy. He could not break because of the Newberry issue. The Michi- gan delegation to the Chicago con- vention of 1920. composed of New berry's friends. voted for Johnson. And while on route to Washington to cast his ballot for or against New berry. Johnson missed his train.
 Johnson Plans SEducstion.l, Tour.
 Now, however, he has his oppor- tunity. He will return from Europe during the summer. and according to advance information. will immedi- ately undertake a tour for the "edu- cation" of the people respecting the "dire"results of the leagues opera tions.
 LaFollette. because of his radical inclinations. was always handicapped when talking to any people save those who live in Wisconsin. They did not melt into his views respect ing government ownership of util- tiles. or the alleged necessity of re- modelling the supreme court. The President has given him something to talk about, and he has already taken advantage of the opportunity.
 The President. he declared. espoused the court idea at the in- stance of international bankers anx- ious to put the United States in such position that 1t could force. perhaps with the bayonet. the payment of their loans; and because he was anx- ious to drag a "red herring" across the trail so "redolent of administra- tion blunders"
 Tt was all so unnecessary that tho President disturb a situation which was so peaceful and so au- spicious in it's promise of success" republican politicians declare.

HIRE HACK OR WALK" IS DECREE OF LABOR
?treet Railroad Employees To Take
 Day off May

BERLIN. April 2s.-(By Associated Press.)-"Hire a hack or walk" will be the slogan of the Berliners next week when the employees on the city subways and elevated and surface railways join in international labor's annual May Day holiday. while the remainder of Berin's official and business life proceeds as usual. The date May 1 appears in red on the calendars of only half of Germany's IS state subdivisions. Before the war May Day was not an official holiday anywhere in the country, and the workman who chose to take the day off was apt to find himself out of a job the next morning.
 Since the time the socialists de- posed the Hohenzollerns labor often has tried to get the federal govern ment to put it's official stamp on May Day, but without success. Neverthe less, nine states have designated it d holiday--Saxony, Thuringia, Baden. Hamburg, Anhalt, Brunswick, Lippe, Mecklenburg Schwerin and Luebeck. The day is not a legal holiday in Prussia or Bavaria or in the seven state divisions of Wurtemburg, Hesse, Mecklenburg Strelitz. Ildenburg. Bre- men, Waldeck and Schaumburg Lippe.

WOMEN IF INDIA REPORT PROGRESS IN FIGHT FOR VOTE
National Congress Calls Upon Scarborough Committee
 To Give Ballot

COLOMBO, Ceylon, April 2S.-(By Associated Press.)-The political ac- tivities of the women of Ceylon and South India are recounted and dis cussed by Mrs. Dorothy Jinarajadas in a recent number of The Saree, the new Ceylon 1o rnal. In 1918, writes Mrs. Jinarajadosa, the Indian Ma tional Congress passed a resolution calling upon Scarborough com mittee to enfranchise women on the same terms as men. This marked the beginning of the woman suffrage movement in India and Ceylon.
 Lord Southborough said .-, could not recommend the inclusion of wom- en because he thought 1t would be premature. but he admitted that he considered there had been a demand. Thereupon deputation of women went over to England. We sent two of our members from Bombay to go and speak to the members of the House Of Commons, but the women of India did not get the vote for the legislative council. The women realized then that they had to work, and 1t has been 8 tremendously use- full thing for them to have organized themselves.
 Work With Men.
 Women have taken a great part in the non-co- operative movement, which has brought men and women together, working side by side. The women want education, and are keen on 1t. A number of colleges and uni versailles for women I've been or- ganiZed.
 AS soon as tho bill was passed giving women the possibility of the vote, we immediately set to work. It was very interesting ca- paign and 1t was successful.
 Our resolution was passed unani- mously. and throughout the whole of south India we now have the vote on the same term as men. The same is the case in the Bombay presidency, in Travancore and in Mysore, where women can also be elected as coun- cfllors. Campaigns In Bengal and Behar have resulted in women get ting the municipal vote. There are women municipal councillors in Ma dras.

PARTY CHIEFS ID DICTATE IN FUTURE MOVES
Well Posted Men Declare Harding Having Had His Day." Is Willing To

WASHINGTON BUREAU THE AGE-HERALD
Waabinnfon ID q Anril 0Q

There is no evidence of the truth fitness of the statement that the President is determined to fight for American participation in the elec- ton of judges of the court of inter national justice, even If such fight should irreparably split the repub- lican party.
 On tho contrary, evidence accumu- ly timid in his position. From the White House. itself. comes tho in timation that if there be danger of a serious split in the party. the Presi- don't will abandon his western trip, slated to be begun the middle of June.
 His attitude. in view of tho fact that, according to his attorney gen eral, Harry M Daugherty. he Is a candidate for another term in the White House. Is regarded as unusual. the capitol declare there Is reason to believe that the President. having spoken. will hereafter hold his peace. Mas "Had His Say"
 It comes from a source high in re- publican councils that when first warned of the danger which his es- pousal of the court idea would lead to. the President. declaring that he peremptorily, promised to make only one speech in It's behalf. The re- publican national committee, tho chairman of which, John T. Adams. Is openly antagonistic to the court scheme, takes position that the President in New York had his say" and that if he again formally refers to the court. with the hope of ob- taining popular assistance. he will have broken his pledge to his party.
 The President Is said to be aware that while on the western trip he could not. even if he deliberately planned to, avoid discussion of the league. His experience as cam paigner warrants his belief. 1t Is said that friends or hecklers from regarding the court which he would be forced to answer. Such colloquys, he is said to realize, would naturally and unavoidably lead to full dis cussion and defense of his idea that the United States should espouse the leagues court.
 Party chiefti.nos Q To F Dictate.
 The President. 1t is understood. would eliminate all danger of break ing his promise to the party lead CTS. It Is said. therefore. that if 1t be made certain before Juno that he could not campaign in tho west with out discussing the court and thus breaking his pledge to party leaders he would abandon the trip. There Is no evidence that the President is de- termined to be leader in this mat ter. On the contrary, there Is evil dence regarded as practically con elusive that he will follow his pro- verbal bent and abide by tho dic- tates of party chieftains.
 It is said that if the President. having spoken in New York. Is able to let the court issue slide" and thus be forgotten, he will save the party from the destruction which ap- parently hyawns to engulf 1t. At present, the G. o. P. is certainly di- vided. Against the President in the Senate are his former spokesmen. Lodge. Brandegee. and Watson: the "radicals" headed by Borah. John son. and Lafollette, and the inter mediaries" headed by Moses. Tho

Armed With Kniues to Fight Off Attacks of Big Seq Fish, Diuers Seek Lost Treasures

LONDON, April 2s.-(By Associated Press. )-Armed with large knives with which to fight off the attacks of dogfis corps of deep sea divers are working at the bottom of the seq off Lough Swilly In an effort to re- cover the three and a half millions in gold lost when the Laurentic was torpedoed during the war. Part of the treasure has already been sal vaged.
 Heavy weather has torn the Lau rentic to pieces and strewn the gold along the ocean floor. The task of the divers is made especially diff ficult because of the great depth of the water in which they are obliged to work, and strongest of them are frequently overcome. The wreck is well covered with sand, which must be removed by steam suction pumps operated from the salvage vessel.
 LAW MOVES SWIFTLY
 The British workman. stopping at his favorite pub" for an appetizer on the way home to supper last M on day night, enjoyed the full benefit of the reduction of the penny pint in the price of beer. which had been made possible by the announcement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the House of Commons only an hour before.
 The machinery of British law en- joys a reputation for swift move ment. Chief Justice Taft came to England last year to investigate the rapidity of legal procedure here: but the courts of justice move at snail pace as compared with the syn chronized action of the House ol Commons and of the brewers in put ting in force the beer tax reduction as soon as MT, Baldwin had spoken the word
 Many publicans had let their stocks run low in order to take advantage of the expected reduction in the price per barrel charged by the brewers The delivery wagons of the latter started moving at 4 o'clock on Iues

 The other tax changes announced in MT. Baldwin's budget were not made effective SC rapidly The pub lie will not enjoy the postal reduction until June. and those who are groan- ing under the income tax must wait several months before their burden is descended six pence a pound. Mean while the laborites' spokesmen say they are still listening intently for the word that would mean a reduc- tion in food prices.
 WAR LEADERS MEET
 One war organization which is still as hale and hearty as ever, is the reunion of British war missions to the United States. which holds it's fourth annual dinner on Tuesday,
 The society is composed of those military men and civilians who went to America before and after the states entered the war on various missions connected with the conflict They enjoyed what they remember as the great American hospitality" and they are maintaining their organ ization both to display their feeling toward the country that received them so warmly. and to maintain the ties of war time.

For instance, it's members are endeavoring to make American students at Oxford and Cambridge feel at home In England by introducing them in English homes and by entertaining them during hol- days The society also offers prizes to school children for essays on Anglo American history and rela- tions. and is organizing campaign for the acquisition by public libraries of books interpreting America to England and is collecting all sorts of books from history to represen- tative American fiction and govern ment publications.

How widely the holiday will be ob- served by labor in the sections of Germany where it is not officially recognized will not be known un- til May Day has arrived.
 German beer drinkers are up in arms and there may be a lot of new passengers on the water wagon" this summer if the Reichstag adopts a proposal now before it to double the tax on this popular beverage. The officials believe they can add billions of marks to the national exchequer by raising the tax on each half pint glass to 15 marks It is forecast that such an increase would make every glass of beer cost about 700 marks or at the present value of the mark more than cents in American money.
