 SEEMS APPROACHING COMPLETION

within 90 days, Governors of the states through which the roads operate, will be advised Of the plans before they are turned over to the commission.
 In the opinion of Mr. Budd, only "unforseen problems could prevent completion of the plans within three months.

 Within the last six months. Mir Elliott's statement added. counsel for the roads have prepared some plans which may permit a greater uniticaton of the three properties than exists today"

SAM ABRAM0WTCH' IS GRIPPING DRAMA
Weak Points Forgotten in Gran-
 deur Of Story and Acting
(By Herald Reviewer.)

tfoN ftelalu fteNleWer.1
 An opus which reberberates with crashing thunder of genius and again becomes so artificial that ii does not seem like the work of the same author-that is sam Abram- cvitch,' which was given at Parsons theater, Hartford last night. At times it seems as if Francois Porche set out to write the story of life with a dagger point dipped in the blood of suffering mankind - it is cold, stark and gripping; other parts lack the inspiration of the poet - they became flat and tawdry.
 The first and third acts rise to titanic stature and are ovcrwhelm- ingly impressive. But the effect is spoiled by the second act. both scenes of which could be improved materially.
 sam AbramovitCh" is a Jewish young man who has quaffed long at the fountain of idealism and who is obsessed with an unsuitable craving | to lift up the human race. regard less of creed, and to hasten the day when the brotherhood of man will

HARRY LANGDON AT RIALTO

Harry Langdon, comedy king, has a taste of jail life in the hill arious comedy, Tramp, Tramp, Tramp" which is being shown at the Rialto theater today and to- morrow. This is the comedian's first feature length picture and it has been aptly described as wow" According to the story of Tramp, Tramp, Tramp" Harry is caught by 8 posse of farmers after much fruit has been stolen. The comedian is caught with the loot red-handed and having a watermelon hidden under his shirt he makes only a poor attempt to conceal it. He is convicted and sentenced to work
 on a rock pile with a number of desperadoes. He eventually makes his escape in general jail deliv- cry. The theme of Tramp, Tramp. Tramp" Is a cross country walking race and the escapades Langdon indulges in while ambling across the country furnish one with continual laugh. The supporting cast includes Alec Francis, Tom Murray and Joan Crawford. An other feature attraction which will

The estimated cost of this plan is S2000o.
 "Anticipating that with the con- struction of new church. some members living in the east section of the city may wish 10 transfer 10 the Stanley Memorial church, it is still further recommended that sum of money not to exceed $25. .000 result ing from the sale of present property shall be given to the Stanley Me morial church on East street as contribution toward its future parish house
 Tt Is finally recommended that the balance or 15 per cent Of the sum 10 be realized from the sale of the property shall constitute a re- serve fund which shall be used 10 defray in part the annual expenses of the newly constituted parish re- responsibilities.
 Tn conclusion, We suggest that, looking to the future, a building committee be appointed by joint action of the standing committee and the society's committee to pre- pare plans 10 adequately carry out the intent of the foregoing rccom- III nn1ntinnS ''

Steeped in the magic theor- ies of political economy as enunciat- ed by Prof. Ranke at university in Dresden, he does not stop to real ize that this is a practical world. Consequently he and his wife are starving in a cold garret. In dire circumstances he accepts an offer to emigrate to America where he be- comes rich and gives generously to philanthropic causes. Through an interruptions business partner, his financial castle comes tumbling down about his ears and then it is that his soul is tried in the fires of disap- pointment and found true to the best that is in man. Some may see in the play an allegory picturing the fight between evil and good. the for mer winning a material victory, but suffering moral defeat and the lat ter losing the material victory but gaining a moral triumph.
 Pedro De Cordoba was masterful, SIOT1OuS. as sam ApFdIlON Mary Fowler responded feelingly to the moods of the author, playing her character, Sara Abramovitch. with delicacy and personal charm. Around their struggles. their fidelity to each other and to their ideals, the story is written. They are ably assisted by a cast which includes Ruth Chor- penning, Richard Abbott, Arthur Hohl.

CAPTAIN
REWARDED FOR
.RUlH'S RESCUE
Associated Press Delivers
to Dutch Master $1,000
AS Token.

BAY TOWN, Texas, Nov. 4 tP)-
"The rule of the sea- as he explained
it. caused Captain T. Coos, master of
the Dutch tanker Barendrecht, to
hesitate here today about receiving
at the hands Of the Associated Press
a token Of $1,000 from Wheeling, West
Virginia, citizens in gratitude for saw
ing the lives Of Ruth Elder and George
Haldeman at sea near Che Azores,
October 13.
He said he would take it as token,
not reward, and would donate his
share to a Dutch fund for the relief
of seamen's widows and orphans.
The fund which the captain received
today was in three checks. InStruc-
lions were to deliver one to him for
$500, another for 500 for the COM
mander of the life boat which rescued
Miss Elder and third for $500 for
the Barendrecht's crew.
ut is a strange experience for us to
be rewarded for saving human life"
the captain said, in his address OF &C
ceptance. "But nevertheless we can
not be anything but grateful to the
people Of Wheeling and obligated to
the Associated Press for handling this
token, for token / must consider it
and not reward. Hence, as l now see
it, accepting it will not tend to COM
merciallze that rule of the sea by
which we are all bound save human
lives at any cost.
t, The Associated Press was asked to
deliver the purse to the tanker's crew,
because tn y Wheeling donors had ex-
perienced difficulty in locating the
vessel, and because it was to the As
sociated Press that Miss Elder wire
lessed the first word of her landing
and rescue at sea.
