Convention Hall, Cleveland-The Re-

report arrived, Charles d. Hilles of
New York, announced that it was not
Ready and moved for a recess until

A large proportion of the delegates
did not want to recess and there were
loud cries of mo" when the question
was put Chairman Mondell, however,
declared with loud bang of the gavel
that "the ayes have it" and the
band took the proceedings in hand at
that point and the delegates filed out.
Women Equal With Men.
Among other things in its short SEES
sion the convention in adopting its
rules, approved a new arrangement by
which women will have equal represen-
tation with men on the national
committee.
Again as at yesterdays session there
was a long and loud demonstration
when the rallying cry of party regu-
larity and loyalty to Coolidge was
sounded by Permanent Chairman Mon
dell in a short address. He got the
delegates to their fetal but the
LaFollette men from Wisconsin-by
asking for a Republican congress
that would remain Republican after

Bide-A-Wee Officials Say Steps
 Are Being Taken To Pre- vent Execution

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-Animal lovers are rushing to the rescue of six imperilled dogs which, under the terms of the will of Mrs. Olivia Lakeland Dunn of Summit, N. J., were to be chloroformed at her death
 Several persons have offered to give a home to the dogs. Three of the animals, Pioneer Wee Blackie, Lady Puff Ball and General Mite, are Pomeranians well known to dog fan ciers, as they have often been ex- hibited at shows and have taken prizes. The first two are said to have cost $1,000 each Two others are pups and the sixth dog is a fox terrier.
 When Dr. J. Edward Rowe, a Sum- nit veterinarian, who has been in, charge of Mrs. Dunn's elaborate ken. nels and is one of the two executors. was asked what was the prospect of the dogs being chloroformed, he said ::
 "I do not care to comment on the matter at this time. The terms of the will have been published. It is, of course, the intention of the executors

 If some method can be devised to disguise the two human factors of breath and perspira tion, the mosquito will cease to be | rhan-eating pest" 1" said Dr. Willem Rudolfs, bio-chemist in entomology q the State Experi- ment Station, in an, address srecsntly before the convention of the New Jer- sey Mosquito Extsrmination associa- tion in the Hotel Traymore. pr.

 "Entomologically speaking, the mosquito bill is short, but materially speaking it.is $100, COG, 900 long" said Major Joseph Le, Prince, senior sani- tary engineer of the United States Public Health Service. He spoke on "The Development of Anti-Mosquito Work in the South" So serious is the mosquito situation, in some south

DOZEN GREATEST
 WOMEN TO DINE
Elected By Popular Vote, This All-Star Team Will Meet
 Each Other

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.--For the first time in history the great Ameri- can habit of list-making is useful. One popular collection of names com piled by an excited public has been turned into a dinner list.
 The women have done it!
 The Twelve Greatest American Wo- men, selected last May after years enthusiastic voting, will be the guests of honor at dinner given by the Ma tional League of Women Voters at their convention in Buffalo, April 2S.
 This will be the first time these women, selected as the foremost in twelve different fields of activity, will have been assembled. In fact, it is the first time an all-star team of any thing has actually been collected into one spot.
 No one has ever had the initiative to call game between Walter Ecker- sails all-western and Grantland Rice's all eastern football teams, though no one has doubted that few of the rooters might drop in to watch it.
 Not single theatrical manager has tried to find vehicle for Ashton Stevens fifteen greatest actors and actresses of this generation, though it is highly probable the fifteen might do rather well in play.
 Possibly it isn't done. However, the league doesn't know that. It was looking around for some interesting folks for dinner guests at its party next spring, and with a blithe dis regard of the social necessity which demands that dinner guests have some common interests, has gathered the greatest known feminine celebrities, outside of Gilda Gray and Gloria Swanson, for it's fifth annual fes- tivities.
 Jane Addams, settlement worker from Chicago, selected as foremost in the field of philanthropy, will talk the situation over with Cecelia Beaux, greatest American woman painter, and with Anna Botsford Comstock, leading the ladies in the study of natural history.
 Minnie Maddern Fiske, labeled the greatest woman on the American stage, will have an excellent oppor- tunity to consider the relation of her profession to international affairs with Carrie Chapman Catt, leading the feminine world in politicsf or to learn something about other varieties of stars from Annie Jump Cannon, famous feminine astronomer.
 Louise Homer, celebrated as fore most musician among the women of the country, will be there, learning a new set of facts about the human voice from Florence Rena Sabin, voted greatest in the study of anatomy: Martha Van Rensselaer,, well known to women as the greatest home econo- mist, may find much in common with Julia Lathrop, specialist in child well fare, while NJ. Carey Thomas, presi- dent of Bryn Mawr college, and Edith Wharton will make brilliant talk over their respective fields of education and literature.
 Undoubtedly the feast of reason and flow of wit will be of the variety that would turn any lion-hunting hostess to a pale, sorrowfu1 green.

NO NICE PEOPLE"
In the f84Os Theatereoing Wns ar
 Evidence of Wildnesa

Evidence of Wildness.
 The truth of the matter was that the fashionable American public of the '40's was not a theater-going public, and yet it was decade of astonishing dramatic brilliance, of peculiarly great stars in every branch of acting.
 I/tworked hard all day at it's busi- ness or at its household duties and in the evening it preferred to read it's newspapers, converse with it's friends or write in its daries. It went willingly enough to lectures on mesmerism and phrenology and animal magnetism and the electric telegraph, to religious reviv- als of all kinds, to pantomines and cir cuses, to the fireworks and to the mu. scum of natural wonders but when it came to the theater it was more likely to turn to such Moral, Instructive, Recreative and Temperate Amusi- ments" as:
 Signor Herino Nano
 The justly celebrated and naturally
 endowed metempsychosian, whose
 extraordinary personification of the
 Gnome, the Babboon, the Fly, etc,
 has been the delight of the world,
 who announces his intention of
 visiting the city with his Coliseum.
 A facsimile of the Rotunda Olympica at Paris an da splendid : brass band of music will make the
 entertainment superior to anything
 yet offered. To consist of Mete- mpsychosian Bazaar fight of fancy, called the Gnome Fly, in which Sig
 nor Nano will embody the Gnome!
 the Babboon 1! the Fly! a Man! '! !!
 To be followed by a Musical Olio
 consisting of pianoforte recitatiOns
 by Madame H. Nano.
 Ladies in general seldom attended the theater, except to see a Fanny Ellsler or an occasional opera of some visiting dramatic star, and even in gentlemen the habit of theatergoing was consid- cred indiscreet and an evidence of wild ness. It was left to the lower classes to storm the doors of the Bowery and of the Olympic every Saturday night and get their 50 cents worth of melo- drama and burlesque.
 In other words, the dramatic muse was not lady in the '4O's, but a painted hussy, and her votaries shared the social ostracism imposed upon her tradition of theatrical depravity.
 The United States in 1923 produced 10H million bales of cotton, about one-half the worlds supply.

ACTORS NEED DIRECTING
Experienced Ones Harder To Deal
 With Than Beginners

EXperloncc0 OneS Harder TO Deal
 With Than Beginners
 The young and inexperienced actor dos not need direction half so much as the leading man no longer in the first, second or even third flush of giddy youth who has been in the habit of browbeating the humble author and the obsequious stage manager, and who brings to his work in addition to an. inability to learn his lines, all the old bad tricks of transforming days and the determination to keep to the middle of the stage even if. like the boy who stood on the burning leck, he has killed the play stone dead, says Cosmo Hamilton in the Saturday Eve ming Post.
 The modern star, of course, stands in need of elementary teaching with every part that she essays. Otherwise the electric bulks that blaxen her name over the entrance to the theatre pop, one after another, blackening the lives of manager, author, company, stage hands and all the other people who hang about the theatre for their daily bread

MoLIERE WORE IRON MASK.

M. LoQuin, former president of the Academic de Bordeaux, holds that the Man in the Iron Mask was none other than Moliere, whose disappearance the Jesuits were supposed to have urged the king to compass after the great triumph of "Tartuffe," says Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 "Moliere," says this learned man. "died February IT, 1873; the captivity of the Man in the Iron Mask lasted 31 years, from February, 1873, to No vember, 1703."
 The significant silence that prevailed once Moliere was regarded as dead and buried, the foul islanders that were spread abroad shortly afterward and finally the destruction of all Moliere's posthumous works and the strange dis appearance of every single line of the writing point to sinister object.
