PLAY is WITHDRAWN
AFTER THEATER RIOT
La Carcasse. Story of Infdelity,
Made Premiere in Paris
Amid Kisses.

ny Nnh ASrttldtth iVre'
PARIS, April 26.-Faced by the
prospect of another riotous per-
formance. the authors of the play La
Carcasse" yielded gracefully to public
opinion and shortly before the hour
of it's proposed second presentation at
the Comedie Francaise last night an
nounced its withdrawal from the
boards. 1t was replaced by Hugo's
"Hernani," but it proved a dull eve-
ming for a score or more members of
the Young Patriots. who had bought
seats in blocks to show their disap-
proval of the play.
One old playgoer got solace out OF
the recollection that when Hermann
was first produced in the same thea
ter in 1880 the performance broke up
in a free fight between the proponents
of the romantic and the classical
schools. Today Hermann" once the
object of the conservatives hisses, is
a classic of the French stage.
Jeers, Kisses and groans greeted the
premiere of La Carcasse" at the
Theater Comedie Francaise Thursday
night. The demonstration was so
tumultuous that the curtain had to
he lowered twice. This play has to
do with the infidelty of a general S
wife. That he had knowledge of the
fact was disclosed in the scene de-
picting the deathbed of their son, who
committed suicide.
Hermann has as its main subject
the point of honor which compels a
noble Spaniard to kill himself in
obedience to the blast of a horn
sounded by his mortal enemy at the
very moment of his marriage.

KENT PLANS NEW
CONCERT SERIES
Success of First Venture
Proves Present Facilities
Sufficient, Say Leaders.

The success Of the season Of the
AtWater Kent Radio concerts. con-
cluded last night, is being pointed to
as proof that the present broadcasting
facilities of the United States are
sufficient to meet the fullest demands
of public service.
SO pleased is A. Atwater Kent. spon-
sOr Of the concerts. with the first 30
of his offerings that he has an
nOunced a second series of Summer
programs like those heard through
out the Winter by weekly audiences
estimated at 10000. 900 persons. These
also will be distributed over the chain
broadcast system of the American
Telephone and Telegraph Co.
Having studied the results of his
undertaking from the StandpointS of
public service. cost and efficiency or
distribution. Air. Kent is convinced OF
it's merits and is understood to have
abandoned any plans that he might
have had for establishing his own
oadcastinc stations.
Uses Others Stations.
In this connection it is interesting
that Mr.. Kent, alone Of the big
three" of American distributors Of
receiving sets. is neither the owner
nor opef ator of a. transmitting station.
The other two of the big three
the Radio Corporation of America and
Powell Crosley. jr.-are both interna-
tionally prominent in the broadcasting
activities of the world.
The initial venture OF Mr.. Kent into
broadcasting through the facilities al
ready at hand, it is learned on reliable
authority. cost the manufactures be-
tween 10000 and 100000.
Broadcasters Got 100000.
These figures include both the pay
ment of the artists presented in the
Atwater Kent hours" and the cost
of the lines and stations used.
For the facilities of the 15 stations
through which the concerts were
heard. it is understood Mr.. Kent ap-
propriated close to 100000. But this
item it is pointed out is approximate
lv the same as would have been the
cost of one of his own stations had
Mr.. Kent himself entered the broad
casting field.
There is. however, the likelihood
that any wave length which he may
have been able to obtain would have
been less desirabl than any Of those
used by the stations in the chain.

ordinary cotton or silk covered wire,
it is far from being safe, because this
type of insulation is also very apt to
unravel leaving bare spots which can
cause trouble.
Acid, Dangerous.
The liquid used in battery is
mixture of water and sulphuric acid.
The only place where it will do any
good is inside the storage battery
cells. If you handle the battery care
lessly and allow the acid to spill on a
rug Or over your clothes you will pay,
for your carelessness with the price
of the rug or the clothes. Acid in
your eyes or in your hands is abso-
lutely dangerous and If you remember
that you will exercise more care
when you handle it.
The fumes given off by a storage
battery when on charge are as danger.
Gus as gasoline fumes or gas leak.
Wise people do not go looking at the
amount of gasoline in their tanks
with match. Neither do they go
looking for a gas leak with a match
or open flame. If they do you don't
blame the gasoline or gas if an ex-
plosion takes place. You blame the
carelessness and ignorance of the fel.
low who used match. There is no
danger in storage battery IL you
use common sense. but if you are care
less you had better stick to Tiddley-
Winks for amusement.

TROUBLE IN MEXICO
PERILS AMERICAN MINE
Demand for Higher Wages by
Workers Refused, and Company's
Plant Guarded by Federal Troops.

BY the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY. April 26.-George
F.. Zoffman, manager of the Cinco
Minas, an American mining company,
in the state of Jalisco. has had
lengthy conference with James r.
Sheffield, the American Ambassador.
regarding his company's labor
troubles, describing the situation as
dangerous. The property of the com.
pany is being guarded by federal
troops in compliance with a request
made recently by the embassy.
Demanding higher wages. which
the company refused, the workers
went on strike in February. Local
courts decided in favor of the Cinco
Minas and the miners appealed to the
Supreme Court.
Pending action by the Supreme
Court, the authorities have placed an
embargo on the company's property
and material, valued by Mr.. Zoffman
at s4OO,O 900. The manager made the
assertion that the company wanted
the property returned and requested
that steps be taken to prevent labor
disturbances in the vicinity.

BE Careful With Your Storage Battery.

The storage battery falls in the class
of things which are wonderful servants
but destructive masters. 1t can he
classified with water, fire and chem
icals in this respect.
We could never do without water.
but water can be very destructive
when unconfined. Fire is a wonderful
agency for good in it's proper province
when confined in stoves. furnaces and
other properly protected places. Chem
icals are indispensable in modern life,
but they can wreak their toll in hu-
man life and property when improp'
erly used or not properly confined.
A storage battery can do no end OF
good in helping to provide amusement
and education when restricted to its
proper function of supplying current
to the vacuum tubes, but 1t also has
potentialities of doing great harm II

SOUTHERN MILLS

Various Factors Cause Cur.

special DiSpatcn 10 Inc star.
NEW YORK, April 26.- South
Carolina cotton mills prepared today
to cut down production % per cent
and will work on reduced schedules
until there is a stronger demand Tor
cotton goods from consumers. 1t Is
regarded as likely that the movement
will spread to other mills in the Pied
mont section.
Since the action is purely a volun-
tary one, not arrived at by mutual
agreement, it is likely curtailment will
last only so long as individual mills
find 1t advisable.
Stocks of cotton goods in ware
houses and at the mills are not par
ticularly heavy, according to cotton
men, but prospects of a big cotton
crop in the Piedmont section. support
ed by heavy paintings and reports
that weeVil activity is less to be
feared than usual, have induced mill
executives to ep slow ior time.
TO Care for Employees.
Nevertheless they will not let other
considerations Influence them to cut
working time and forces to such an
extent as to hurt their workers. For
the good will and prosperity of the
Southern workers Is regarded as the
greatest asset of the mill owners.
Even if they have to accumulate large
stocks of goods, these employees will
be looked after.
Their value has been strikingly
emphasized by the strike still in
progress at Passaic in the wOolen
mills. This struggle kept one mill
idle for weeks where the workers had
no complaint to make. where their
wages were satisfa ctory and where
hey already had been granted nearly
everything asked by the other work
ers. Despite ethe Passaic trouble, this
concern, purely on the attitude of it's
workers, has been emboldened to open
