CLUB BOARD READY
in ROBINSON CASE
Presidential Candidate, De.
tanned by Deadlock, Not
Here for Hearing.

The board of governors of the
Chevy Chase Club, meeting at 4:30
o'clock this afternoon at the Metro
politan Club, is expected to consider
the case of Senator j. T Robinson.
Democratic candidate for the presi-
dental nomination, who was sus-
pended from the club two weeks ago
after an alteration on the links of
the Chevy Chase Club during which
Senator Robinson struck DR.. James
F. Mitchell, noted surgeon.
Prompt action by the board on the
matter, which has now been before
1t for more than two weeks, is ex-
pected today. Members of the board
are said to feel that the club should
not consider the position of the mem
Der under suspension. but the offense.
and take action. unless a postpone
ment is again asked by Senator Rob-
1nson. The club had not received any
additional request for postponement
from the Arkansas senator up to to-
day, it was understood. Several boa rd
members were reported to hold the
view that the club should act as in
the case of any member. without con-
sidering the prominence of the pos
slble Democratic presidential nomi-
nee. If those members who seek
immediate action on the matter do
not Nave their way the case will
probably again be postponed, and the
senator remain under suspension un-
til he can appear in person.
1t was considered unlikely that
Senator Robinson would leave the
Democratic conve ntion in New York
to appear before the boaFd in person.

LEADERSHIP is NEEDED,
DR.. PHILLIPS DECLARES

Rev. DR.. ZeBarney T. Phillips. the
new rector of the Church of the
Epiphany, in his first sermon to the
congregation yesterday, stressed the
need of real leadership in modern
life. and the power of fellowship.
The great outpouring of spirit of
the present age will challenge real
leadership. DR.. Phillips said, declar-
ing that in times of trial. the people
turn to the man with convictions.
He emphasized the growing signifi-
cance of fellowship. and its mission
in leavening the mass consciousness
and ennobling the individual.
DR.. Phillips declared that the ideal
of civilization is to draw the so-called
lower strata of society into a higher
realm, and pointed out that the world
thus would be benefited.
DR.. Phillips paid tribute to the work
of his predecessors. He said that the
influence of the late Rev. DR.
Randolph McKim was woven into the
very fabric of the parish. He praised
the ministry and craftsmanship of
Bishop Freeman.

Welcome Home.

John Lyons, new manager of
the Gayety Theater here, although
new to burlesque, is by no means
stranger to the Washington
amusement public. Eleven years
ago he occupied the position of
manager of the Old Academy of
Music, now the Strand. then under
the control Of z. d. Stair and pre-
senting classical nelodrama, now
apparently lost to the stage. Since
that time, Mr.. Lyons has occupied
the position of manager of the
Prospect Theater in Cleveland and
the Plymouth and Majestic, Shu-
bert Houses in Boston. Mr.. Lyons
is member Of Washington Lodge
Of Elks.
Mr.. Lyons appointment comes
as the result of the adoption of a
new policy by the Columbia
Amusement Association, that Of
employing managers experienced
in other lines Of the theatrical
world than burlesque, not only
for the purpose of getting the bene-
fit Of new ideas they may have
or ideas applied in the other fields,
but also because it Is felt that
their assistance may be valuable
in the circuits campaign for in.
creased patronage from women.

LIVELY DOTNCS
FOR GAYETY
PATRONS

Another one Of those lively bur.
lesque shows with which the cur.
rent season has been favored, is
entertaining devotees of this form
of entertainment at the Gayety
this week. "Nifties of 1895" Is
the title given the production
which is sponsored by Joe Hurtig
and which serves to feature
DaAny Murphy and VIII H. Ward.
These two droll fellows, whose
comedy methods are distinctly
different from the average run of
burlesque comedians, have ample
opportunity to show their wares
and they. were all rewarded last
night with volumes of laughter
rolling up from a large pre.elec.
ton crowd.
Surrounding the two stars Is a
company composed of many local
favorites. Mildred Campbell, with
hep infectious smile, won new
friends with her songs, while her
sketch with Ward was a laugh
producer from start to finish. Vio-
let Mckee, a newcomer to Wash.
ington audiences, charmed with a
series Of dances, while Teresa
Adams and Lillian Frier led the
well trained chorus in the en-
sembles. Charles Nellis, eccentric
dancer, pleased. A quartet con-
sisting of Ward. Murphy, Jack
Coyle and Bill Murphy, put on
some harmonies that went over
big.
The new Hurtig production is
handsomely mounted and the cos
tuning is lavish. House Manager
Lyon announces that a midnight
performance will be given tonight

AS Cyrano, himself, is dual,
SO he needs for his impersona-
ton a comedian, in the French
sense, of twin sympathies and
linitless subtlety. Conceivably
plenty of actors could do the
Cyrano of such flamboyancies
as the duel to ballade accom-
paniment; his enormous con-
quest of a hundred sword points
and the other lighter essays
with which he INDUCES a bitter
heart. To do his balcony scene,
to narrate his gazette or to do
the prosodic efforts, one nearly
as long as ''The Seven Ages of
Mani" to do these and. through
out it all, to blind your preju'
dices to a spurious and. buffoon-
like countenance, is something
else again. The Hampden sta
ture and voice enhance the de-
lineation to perfection.
Cyrano is a poet, a philoso-
pher, a wit and a brave. Ma
ture countered these endow-
ments by implanting upon him
a visage of horrible mien. A
physical clown, a mental Apollo.
What a horrible irony!
It is this man who presumes
to love but whom fate has in
tended. solely as one upon whose
achievements others climb TO
loves rewards. Nothing on the
stage has been more poignantly
beautiful than the balcony scene
where Cyrano, hiding in the dafk,
feeds his rival with the beau
tiful rhapsodies that. Roxanne
capitulates to; in the belief che
has won soul, not an aman-
uensis; and Cyrano's recogni-
ton that his soul is runged for
others to climb upon.
Ballot Holloway. possessing
a richly toned voice, is a good

Roxanne has physical andtartis-
tic attributes. A good charac-
terization is that of Cecil Yapp
as the baker-poet, at home
with his pastries but atrocious
as a reader Of meter. Ruth
Chorpenning's Duenna is worthy
of note.
The production has been
staged on a great scale; moth
ing has been scanted.s For an
evening in the theater you will
not be able to forget, see

had become wedged. The carriers
were given up for lost by the excit-
ed islanders. A cablegram wired to
Kelly Island read.
Look out for the carriers; thew
are fast in the ice and drifting that
way"
But the two men, after many eff
forts, were rescued. They were in
an exhausted condition and so COM
pletely covered and weighed down
with ice as to be helpless. Their caps
were frozen fast to their heads and
their clothes SO loaded with ice that
the wearers were unable to bend.
On arrival at home their friends
were obliged to cut and tear away
their ice armored garments. After
changing clothing bushel of ice that
had fallen off in the process was
swept from the floor.
For several years George and
Charley Morrison were employed as
carriers on the Bass Island route.
They, too, passed through many ardu-
Gus and trying experiences, being the
victims Of many close calls from
death. Out on the lake in all kinds
of weather, with ice conditions Of
every description they battled with
storm, running ice, fog and binding
snow.
Formerly associated with George
Morrison in the mail carrying service
was his brother-in-law, Carl Rotert.
The two were Unexpectedly over
taken by an accident which resulted
in the drowning Of Rotert. Among
the articles carried in the boat oper-
ated by the two men was long, I'M
wieldy piece of metal. This in
some way shifted, capsizing the boat.
Morrison found himself struggling
in the water. With great difficulty he
succeeded in extricating himself, but
Rotert was carried under the ice. His
body was not recovered until late the
following spring.
Henry Elfers carried the mails to
Kelleys Islands for over 40 years.
During that time he had many hair

 Inasmuch as the Ruhr basin, is worth many times over the sum involved in reparations pledged to France and Bel gium, it is possible that the Germans will now come to their senses and ac- to themselves that it would be far better to make the stipulated than to forfeit this rich guarantee seized by the French. At any rate, there is hope that the new status will improve the European sit uation, and stimulate that productive enterprise that has been so strangely absent since the war.

CITY TAKES PROPER ACTION

In enjoining the Jefferson county board of revenue from diverting for any purpose funds collected during this year as the city's share of the ten per cent. special road tax, the city has taken proper legal action to collect the debt. No payments on this-account have been made for several years, and the total indebtedness is said to be around $216,0Oo. Up to the pres ent administration the city's part of this fund was paid over.
 The city's effort to collect this debt receives public approval. The boards contention that the county has spent within the city the equivalent of the sum due the city appears beside the point. The matter is in the courts, and it is hoped that the question of law applying to the situation will be established and the controversy be per- nnanently settled.
