packed the lower floor and most Of
the balcony at the city auditorium l.

ers were successfully launched We'd
nesday evening In their first enter
tainment, q group Of three one-act
plays.
Stage settings were simple but ef-
f~ective, giving the desired atmosphere
with q minimum of equipment.
Most pleasing was when the
Whirlwind Blows" q tragedy by Es-
sex Dane, rich In emotional appeal
and dramatic suspense. A peasant
hut In Russia at the beginning Of the
revolution was the setting and the
play depicted the age-old struggle
between representatives of the aris-
tocracy and the servant class. Mar
jorie Alderman and Ruth Jordan as
Madame Androya and Anna, a SER
want girl, were exceptionally note
worthy and Elizabeth Manning gave
a faithful representation Of Joeefa, q
peasant. The play was directed by
Antoinette Morton.
Lacking entirely the heavy tragedy
Of the previous play, 1.-The Romano
ers" by Edmund Rostand was a play
especially suited to close the enter
tainment. A fanciful romance, it re-
lated the love story of Sylvette, played
by Jane Byrne and Percinet Gay
Brown, who had carried On q flirta-
ton from opposite sides Of a high
stone wall, believing their fathers to
be enemies. How the parents scheme
and contriye to bring the young peo-
pie together provides a situation at
once humorous and romantic. The
dashing bravo eager to arrange any Of
a score of abductions was well played
by Raphael Van Neste. Alfred S. Dale
and Joseph s. Wright played the
parts of the irate fathers admirably.
Adolph Englehardt, Katherine An
drist and Mrs. Arthur Bauer were the
trio Of musicians who provided an ap-
propriate musical background during
the abduction scene. The play was
directed by Miss Ruth Cordner.
SHAM" directed by Mrs. Alfred
s. Dale. vas a contrast to the two
others. A modern play characterized
by repartee, the plot centered around
a young couple whose choice Of home
furnishings was not of the best.
Their bad taste was brought home to
them by a discriminating thief, play
ed by Bill Smith. Others In the cast
were Winnifred Darlington, Art Cayou
and George Moses.
Musical numbers were given by Mrs.
j. Lowell Powell and Otto Bauer be-
tween acts, with accomplishments by
Mrs. Forrest M. Davis and Mrs.
Grace Duryee Morris, respectively. A
brief talk on the plan Of the organi-
zation for this season was given by
John Reel, director Of recreation for
Bismarck.

RAILROAD MEN ASK
CHANGE IN PLAN TO
ASSIST WEAK ROADS
Want /. G. G. to Revise Sur
charged Pooling Scheme
Broached in October

Washington, Nov. 19.-R-RaN-
roads Of the country Thursday asked
the Interstate Commerce commission
to modify its surcharge-pooling plan
for saving the credit Of many car
riers.
At the same time they presented
for approval q plan for a railroad
credit corporation to provide machin-
ey with which to operate the scheme.
Thursdays petition is another step
In the effort Of railroads to obtain
added revenues. The commission
Oct. 20 denied q plea for . temporary
blanket 15-per-cent rate increase,
and presented an alternative, unique
and untried in Amerioa.
Approval was given Surcharges of
s. and S. q car on some types Of
freight and l and 2 cents per 100
pounds On others. Major farm crops
were exempted. The money realized
was to be pooled ana needy railroads
assisted In meeting interest on their
bonds. December l was the deadline
set for the roads to present machin-
cry for handling the pool. The sur
charges would be automatically re-
moved in March 81, 1888, unless ord
cred off earlier.
To meet the most serious objec-
tions Of railroad executives five
amendments were asked. They are:
That railroads should be granted
loans instead Of gifts.
That the commission remove its
command that surcharges should re-
main unchanged but that any reduc-
tions made utter the plan IS In oper-
alton come from basic rates.
That surcharges be applied to
lighterage charges.
That the 3 and IS per car sur
charges be changed to cents per net
ton.
That the commission revise It's
order barring surcharges on less than
carload freight on hauls up to ITS
miles and fixing l cent per 100
pounds between ITS and $50 miles so
this section may be expressed on the
basis Of firSt-claSs rates.

WORLD
BY BRoADCAsTER


What may be termed the first
official step toward putting an
enc TO song plugging by radio
ana TO the monotonous repeti-
tionS OF musical numbers, has
been taken by the Columbia
System.
Following complaints the Co
Iumbia executives have appointed
reynolds Brooks, the supervisor
OF musical programs. as sort of
dictator. To him all commercial
and sustaining programs are sub
nitted weeks in advance, under
the new rule, and where the
same musical number bobs up
more than once in\ a 24-hour
schedule, the old blue pencil is
welded.
II q commercial bill and a sus-
tanning program have identical
songs, the duplicate is removed
rom the sustaining. When two
commercials have the same songs
or compositions, one is relieved
Of the repeat.
The new order has not yet
been applied to dance bands, but
VIII be as soon as arrangements
are made for them to submit
their listings earlier than at
present.
Women radio artists are so
different from those of the stage
and screen. A national radio
magazine has been trying for
two months to obtain photo
graphs Of women radio perform
ers in bathing suits, but the
ladies', it appears, are too modest
to oblige.
