MEETING CHINESE EMPRESS

There are few more arresting fig

graphy. "Indiscretiohs of Lady
SUSAN, recently published. than
was Use Hsi. the late Empress Dow
ager of China, who, entering the I'M

former Emperor became the despotic
ruler of a great Empire. 1t may be
imagined. then, how thrilled l was
when the time came to penetrate the
veil which shrouded from ordinary
mortals the mysteries of the Chinese
court. Before the approach of the
great day, Mrs. Conger, wife of the
American minister, called together in
her capacity of "Doyenne" all the
ladies of the corps diplomatique who
were privileged to attend the I'm
perial audience, and put us through
sort of dress rehearsal of the cere-
monial to be pursued She was a
funny old lady, Christian Scien-

sor to Mother Eddy" and great was
her excitement at the prospect or
the morrow. She bade us all cur
tesy to Her Chinese Majesty, and
strongly recommended that we
should all wear white embroidered
Of our tripping over our feet in the
performance of these curtesys, no
undue display of stockinged leg

WANT HIGHER TARIFF
UPON IMPORTED COAL

MANILA, P. l.. Jan. 27.-The board
of directors of the National Coal
company in the annual report to the
government, which is the chief stock
holder, recommends that 4 higher
tariff on imported coal be imposed
and that the additional revenue thus
derived be used in paying a sub
sidy to companies producing coal in
the Philippines and for further de-
velopmept Of coal fields in the
Island of Mindanao
The report of the board says:
1--WE do not believe it possible for
any company, either government or
private, to mine coal in the Philip
pines with commercial success unless
the industry is given a protective
tariff"
The report also declares that IN
less the coal properties can be leased
to private parties, the National Coal
company should cease operations and
liquidation proceedings be inaugur-
ated.

REVIVAL Of ROBIN

May Valentines revival of ROBIN
Hood" comes to the Jefferson the
atre Friday and Saturday of this
week, with matinee Saturday.
There is a lot to be said for May
Valentines ROBIN Hood" True. It's
revival, but of work that is
absolutely as timely and as inter
estins today as 1t was 80 years ago
when the Bostonians first gave 1t.
For sheer beauty of music, costum-
ing and scenic vistas as well as eff
fectiveness as an evenings enter
tainment, it Is hard to recall any
thing that surpasses the De Koven
masterpiece.
But Miss Valentines revival is
eventful, in that the opera comique
is adequately cast and beautifully
done, and many have commented ex-
travagantly upon the organization
singing ability This. the producer
says. is the one quality which she
most values and never expects to
abandon, for she considers that the
substitution OF dancing for singing
in the modern musical productions
makes a big place in the American
theatre for such productions as
robin Hood" which she proposes to
fill. Then Miss Valentine added:
"There are literally hundreds of
young men and women of high edu-
cational attainment and conservatory
training who are available, and
have no trouble in finding them.
My method Is to utilize the most
talented of them, many of whom soon
rise to principal parts. Real comic
opera requires real singers and by
adherence to the standards l have
set for. myself 1 hope to make my
opera comique program permanent.
There are plenty of lovers of such
productions to sustain them

EGYPTIAN RULER is
BACK FROM, ENGLAND

JERUSALEM, Jan 27-Emir Alb
dullah. ruler Of Transjordania, has
returned to Egypt from England.
whittier he went TO consult with the
British government as to the future
of his country. lie will return to
Transjordania by way of Mecca,
where ne will confer with his father,
King Hussein of the Hed1az. The
Emir mas said that the British for
eign office has recognized the milf
tary and political independence of
Transj ordania
Peace in the Emir's country is re-
garded as essential for the develop
ment OF Palestine, and it is a fact
that Abdullah has succeeded in main
tanning peace and order since he
took comand in 1920. He has been
aided by Mr.. Philby, the British ad-
visor. and a small detachment of
British troops.
Emir Abdullah has a staff of
Syrians and Palestinians under the
head of Ria Pasha Rikabi. his chief
councillor. He has opened elementary
schools in almost all the large towns.
Taxes are collected in the same man
ner as in Palestine, and the roads
are practically safe. The Transfer
danian government now collects Gus
toms dues from both the Palestine
and Syrian governments, and the
Palestine budget provides the sum Of
$250,000 yearly to cover the defi-
cheney.
The neighboring Bedouins are not
yet friendly to the Emir, and in Oc5
tober 1t was found necessary to stop
the march OF Ibn Su-ud, Emir of
Nejez, who had captured Ell .Jauf,
the most important CASTS town in
the Syrian desert.
Neither Abdullah nor hiN father,
Hussein. is popular with the Arab
nationalists on account of the sus-
picion that they are permitting them
selves to be used by British di-
plomacy for the furtherance c.f Brit
ish interests at the expense of the
