sity her part demanded, and at times
in her whole-hearted Interpretation
she brought much dramatic force into
the play. Miss Faulkner has an I'M
Outstanding of her part and she puts
her best foot forward in that express
sion.
James Duncan, the first man on the
scene, was none other than J. B.
Sheehan, who, no matter what the
director gives him, carries his part
to perfection. When Bernie" takes
the stage, his audience enjoys every
bit Of his acting. AS assistant to
Daniel Taylor, he was very good.
Folks would have liked to have seen
him more often.
And there was his close companion
in the story, Harry Gibbs, a Gus
toms inspector. as taken by John
McDonough. AS the hard guy, when
it came to searching suspects, he
was right there with the goods. Mr..
McDonough has natural way on the
stage, a very good voice and in his
part, while the lines were not many,
he gave the audience very inter-
| esting Characterization.
She didn't have much to say or do
in the story, but very clever bit OF
| acting was done by Miss Anne

| dumb belle, deaf and dumb. when
! caught in the act of smuggling. She
was a pert as you please and as
sassy as they make them, and she
, earned the laugh she got from her
! audience.
Miss Kathryn Larkin has very

of Ethel. The misdemeanors of Amy
was the starting of all the trouble.

ried the part of the repentant young

1t may be like squeezing milk out
| of a rock sometimes, but Joe Gren-
| Ter can get laugh out of an audi
ence when all other efforts fail. In
| the part of Michael Harrington, the
vice president of the burglar alarm
company, he caused ripples and
waves of laughter. Michael liked his
highballs and the ways in which he
worked things to get his drinks were
original and very funny.
AS the wealthy young man who
| gives appearances of not carrying
much under his dome, Robert Faux
ner was very good in his part. He
was supposed to be in love with
| Nora and it was only under fire that
he plucked the courage to propose.
He was very excitable young per-
son and his realistic predicaments
were most humorous.
| There was Peter, the door-keeper
at the customs, part taken by Rob-
ert Sawyer, and Lambert, butler at
harrington part taken by John
Allison, who were sufficient in their
parts. True. they didn't have much
to say or do, but when they did have
lines or action, they gave promise of
being able to do much more if pos

On the lawn at the hotel the boys

grand time-as one Rotarian put it,

automobile trucks. one loaded with ice

Dawes. Of Chicago. Owen D. Young.
Of New York. and Henry NJ. Robin
SON of Los Angeles, authors of the
reparations commissions latest plan
for the rehabilitation of Europe, ar
rived on the Leviathan today, con-
WINGED that early adoption of their
program was imperative.
I'VE must cease talking about re-
sponsibility for the war;" said one
of the trio. I'VE must consider it
as a calamity that has occurred and
one that all who participated in
must help pay for. Germany as well
as the allies must pay her share.
Everybody must get together and
discharge the debt burdens incurred
during the war or we'll go broke to-
gether."
Mr.. Dawes and Mr.. Robinson de-
clined to discuss any subject which
bore however remotely upon the
reparations plan. They insisted that
expression of their views be con-
fined to a statement prepared before
the Leviathan reached quarantine.
They delegated to Mr.. Young, whom
Mr.. Dawes described as 1.-The con-
structive brains of our committee"
the duty of answering questions.
Mr.. Young did so, freely, but with
the understanding that he was to be
interpreted as seeking to add any
new ideas to the so-called Dawes
report; that he might, however, help
clear up some of its provisions III
worll-a-day terms.
The question how long it would
be-if the plan were approved by
the allies and Germany-before it
could become operative and its pre-
dicted beneficial results to world eco
nomic conditions became effective,

promptly the Reichstag passed en-
abling legislation, and (2) how
promptly the reparations commits

nominated the personnel for execut-
ing the plan.
Mr.. Young declared the plan prob
ably would be "a very large issue"
in the impending German and
French elections.
Concerning the possibilities of
floating the proposed 100000, 900
loan for Germany he said America
should handle $10O.0OO.00O of that
amount. that England would be
good for $75.000.O0O, and nations of
continental Europe for the remain
ing $25,O00,00O.

COOLIDGE WOULD
Defer EFFECTIVE
DATE OF JAP BAN

Washington. April 2S-President
Coolidge is continuing his confer
ences with members Of congress in
an effort to find some way to smooth
out the international difficulties pres
ented by the Asiatic exclusion provis-
ions Of the immigration hill.
One of the plans under considera-
ton by the president is understood to
be a proposal to postpone tn effec-
tive date of the Japanese exclusion
ing out in diplomatic exchanges some
arrangement which would satisfy the
majority sentiment in congress and
at the same time be acceptable to
Japan.
Indications today, however, were
that a postponement proposal would
have had shedding. at least in the
conference committee which Is ad-
justing the differences between the
two houses of congress. What other
plans are under consideration has not
been disclose but it is known that
alternatives are being examined.
immigration conferences today at
the White House brought Chairman
Johnson, of the house committee,
Chairman Lodge, of the senate for
eign relations committee, Secretary
Hughes and Senator Reed, Republi-
can, Pennsylvania, head of the SEN
ate conferees, to the executive Of

Both at the white house and the
Capitol details of the presidents
opinion were held in strictest conf
dence. Members of the conference
committee were bound to secrecy be-
fore meeting they held today ad-
journed after a session which lasted
scarcely an hour. 1t was stated.
however. that the Japanese question
was not taken up at this meeting.
and that with the exception Of those
who went to the White House, the
conferees were not informed of the
presidents attitude.
1t was suggested the conferees
might find it necessary" to post
pone materially the effective date Of
the exclusion provision. thus provid-
ing an interval in which the state de-
partment might perfect an under
standing or agreement with Japan
regarding exclusion.
Senator Reed refused to state to-
day whether the president had re-
'Quested action along this line. or in
fact in any specific way. That q
conference report looking to delay in
enforcement of exclusion would be
opposed was stated fatty by Senator
Shortridge, Republican, California.
one Of the most active workers for
the provision.
Declaring he could raise q point of
order against any report which en-
comprised provisions already agreed
upon. Senator Shortr;dge said the
exclusion section was definitely out
side the scope of the conference. His
view was supported by a majority of
the conferees, according to an indiv-
idual poll of them today.
Senator Shortridge In q letter to
President Coolidge today. urged that
the bill he signed in its present form
as carrying a great benefit to the
American people. The measure pro-
posed the enactment OF an immigra-
ton law. he said, In line with the ma

been followed since 1890 and its ap-
prevail by the president would be
potent for peace"

Little Hope Fusion
American Red Cross
And Int'I. Body

Paris, April 2S-NegOtlationS be-
tween John Barton Payne, Of Chi
cago, chairman Of the general coun-
Gil of the League of Red Cross So
cietie, and Gustav Ador, of Switzer-
land, president of the international
Red Cross committee of Geneva re-
garding the possibility Of a fusion OF
the two international organizations,
have served only to accentuate the
long standing fight between them for
control of executive affairs.
According to the leaders Of the
general council of the league. which
today opened its third general meet
ing, it appears at first a Cancellation
must come to naught.
Mr.. Payne was instructed by the
council to meet NJ. Ador to discuss
the question of fusion. This meeting
took place this morning. Although
Mr.. Payne has not as yet reported it's
results at the council it was limited
in the Hobbies this afternoon that the
old question of executive control,
which has been a bitter stumbling
block in all negotiations for the past
two years was still as strong as ever
and that neither the league nor the
Geneva committee were willing to
make the concessions necessary for
corporation.
1t is understood that Miss Mabel
Boardman. one of the American
representatives. is among those in
clined to make concessions for the
sake of uniflcation. while Mr.. Payne
end Robert L. Odds, the other Amer
lean delegates, are strongly fighting
for the principle that if new body
is formed It should be controlled
Economically by it's members as is
the case with the league. The
British, Belgian and Swedish So
cietics are supporting the American
stand.
The Geneva committee has called
meeting of all the Red Cross So
c!etics at Geneva next July to hear
the report of the special committee
appointed last year to study metho IL
for the fusion of the two organiza-
tons. 1t is understood that the plan
drawn UP by this special committee
provides Cor control by the lnterna-
tional committee. consequently. it is
expected that those fighting for
democratic control of the fused or
ganization will refuse to attend or
recognize the July session. on the
ground that the committee was
packed by the Swiss body.

POnzi Dupes Who

Washington, Apr. 2S.--Money re-
turned by Charles Ponzi Of frenzied
finance fame, to certain clients Just

that Brown and others were entitled

court today reversed the lower
courts.

quick scheme paid to early invest

out that this process while leaving
