promptly on even routine matters a
veritable log jam was being created in
the bureaus under his Jurisdiction"
He defended his appointment OF
South Trimble, jr., as solicitor of the
department, denying Mitchell's charges
that the attorney had been named at
the suggestion of w. Gwynn Gardiner,
labeled by Mitchell as a shipping
lobbyist"
Gardiner Asks to Appear.
At this point Chairman Copeland
interrupted Roper's discussion Of the
appointment to comment:
"I just want to say that ! have
received a letter from w. Gwynn
Gardiner asking to appear before the
committee to contradict Mitchell's S
charges"
The secretary departed from his
prepared text to deny Mitchell's i'm
plication that Admiral Hutch I. Cone
was forced to resign from the Ship
ping Board.
Admiral Cone is a gentleman, a
patriotic citizen" the secretary said.
He was never asked to resign. He
resigned of his own free will"
Roper fatty contradicted Mitchell's
assertion that lax inspection in the
Bureau of Air Commerce might"
have been responsible for the crash
of the airplane several weeks ago in
which Senator Cutting, Republican,
of New Mexico was killed.
He described Eugene Vidal, head
of the Bureau Of Air Commerce, whose
efficiency Mitchell had criticized, as q
skilled pilot.
PendergaSt Is Mentioned.
Mitchell's final few minutes on the
stand were marked by a hot exchange
with Senator Clark, Democrat, of
Missouri, a committee member and
long a bitter foe Of the assistant,
who also is from Missouri.
DO you know what part Thomas
]. Pendergast had to do with your
removal?" Clark snapped, his face
flushed. He referred to the recog-
nized head of the Democratic political
organization In Missouri, to whose in
fluence Mitchell had attributed some
of the responsibility for his removal.
Mitchell said he had good
"hunch," but that all the facts he
knew were what I read in the
papers" Asked by Chairman Cope
land If Pendergast had requested
Mitchell's dismissal, Secretary Roper
replied:
mo, sir. Neither Mr.. Pendergast
nor the Senator from Missouri"
Throughout his appearance on the
stand yesterday, Mitchell again was
subjected to demands for "facts" and
evidence" from Republican and Demo-
cratic members of the Senate Com
merce Committee.

Copeland wrote, because we don't
want any more Moro Castle or Mo-
hawk disasters"
Roper then recalled that he entered
an agreement with the International
Mercantile Marine, owner of the
United States Lines, to retire the ship
from service with an agreement to
pay to the Government $500,0O0 10
penalties, and at the same time agree
to put another new ship into the
merchant marine "in line with the
policy of building up this service"
Replying directly to Mitchell's
charges that the President had mott
waited the laying up of the Leviathan
because Of his friendship for officials
of the United States Lines, including
Kermit Roosevelt, Vincent Astor, and
others, Roper declared "the President
did not initiate my action in laying
up the Leviathan."
Denies Outside Pressure.
He denied as well that outside In
huences" had brought about his in
tention to remove the assistant.
He said he had agreed to hear
Mitchell's charges in September, 1884,
and expected him at that time to
submit them in detail.
After months had passed without
my getting the memoranda expected, +"
Roper said, II urged that he submit
his report-which he gave me In
dribbles.
After expiration OF six months,
without concluding lis memoranda,
and in view Of the numerous COM
plants to me of the suffering condi-
tions Of his executive work in connec-
ton with the department, I made
further effort to conclude the matter. I"
On April %, this year, he said, he
turned Mitchell's findings over to the
Attorney General, at the same time
arranging for Mitchell to confer with
the Justice Department upon the
charges.
Moreover, he said, correspondence
with the President disclosed tha. the
Attorney General asked him " sub

Justice six weeks prior to his removal

Repeated Complaints Cited.
AS to his administrative troubles
with Mitchell, Roper declared his bu-
reau heads repeatedly complained to
him of inactivity of the assistant In
passing on urgent matters. "I did not
feel" he said, II could afford to wait
longer, in the public interest. to Sc

NEW FACES ON
COLUMBIA BILL
FOR THIS WEEK
Mary Ellis and Carl Bris.
son Are, at Least, Not
so Well KnOirn.

Perhaps it was the relief of watch
ing a film without being haunted by
the old familiar faces, but "All the
Kings Horses" at the Columbia this
week seemed to us offhand as pleas
Ing as any light fare imported to the
town this season. Miss Mary Ellis
and Carl Brisson, its stars. have not
been seen often on the screen, a cir
cumstance which probably adds in
estimable charm to their perform
ances-or it may be they really are
as splendid as they seemed. What
ever the cause, there is that much sat
isfaction in not knowing in advance
precisely how the principals OF a cine
ma are going to go about their drink
ing. cigarette lighting and lovemaking.
The unfamiliarity of the Ellis and
Brisson mannerisms, therefore. lends
their every gesture fresh significance,
the fascination of novelty, so entirely
lacking in the work of our more
popular stars simply because we see
them almost as often as if they were
in the family.
The attractions of "All the Kings
Horses" do not end with that. Miss
Ellis possesses and uses brilliantly an
enchanting voice. Mr.. Brisson can
sing plausibly and dance better. and
the slight story was cleverly directed
by Frank Tuttle. Miss Ellis. playing
the queen of a serious minded king
too careless of her love. suggests the
nprfnTnl.
ance is more subtle and seductive than
the mimicry of most of our Hollywood
hoydens, and she exhibits flair Tor
comedy which we predict will some
day be the light opera producers de-
light. Miss Ellis is, in fact. much
nearer the adult males conception OF
a dream pigeon than any one the
films have thrust upon the gasping
world in the last year or so.
Mr.. Brisson is less fortunate as an
actor. but it is difficult to say anything
unkind about him. The Brisson dane
ing, however, is very superior stuff, and
he cannot be blamed severely for tao
tical errors in such frothy dual role,
wherein he rs supposed to represent
both the king and film star who looks
precisely like him and takes the mon
arch's place long enough to get the
queen all worked up over her husband
again. That nifty little plot hasn't
been around town for almost three
weeks now. but, believe it or not, it
-uf1ices here.
Edward Everett Horton and Eugene
Palette are on hand to add the old
fashioned Hollywood note, and Miss
Katherine De Mile is the siren who
gives the king holiday.
The short subjects at the Columbia
this week are distinctly bad. and you
are advised to watch the time sched-
ules and arrange your arrival at the
hour of the feature presentation.

STRINDBERG'S "EASTER"
HAS WELL-TRAINED CAST
Play Is Rather Gloomy, but Is
Splendidly Performed by
Local Group.

Acute melancholia and other forms
OF sadness last night permeated the
Wardman Park Theater, drifted up
the aisles and floated wraithlike about
the carved rams head up above the
stage. The occasion was tine presen-
tation by the students of the King
Smith Studio School of August Strind-
bergs three-act play, Easter" and
all of the sadness was the result of
the play and not the playing.
Mr.. Strindberg's drama is a very
unhappy piece up until about 10
O'Clock or so, when the forces of light
and right commence to diSperse the
fog Of gloomy melancholy and place
everything in its proper relationship.
It's about the Heyst family-Mrs.
Heyst, son Ellis and daughter Eleanora.
Also there are Christine, Ellis fiancee;
Benjamin, who is a student and who
seems to be in love with Eleanora, and
Lindkwist, who is not the ogre he first
was considered, who shows Ellis how
morbid is his continual detection and
who provides the pardon to get Papa
Heyst out of the Jail house. When he
does this, everything ends happily, and
there is no more gloom in the Ward
man Park Theater.
The play was handsomely done by
cast which was almost unanimously
and continuously meticulous Rebecca
Tarwater, especially, presented
properly sensitive playing of the role
of Sister Eleanora, who was slightly
emiss mentally but who also was
pretty smart. John Sikken and FOR
ney Reese were two others who gave
the drama much, John doing Benja-
min neatly and Mr.. Reese being par
ticularly good as Lindkwist. Eleanor
Mitchell. Donna Cruise and John
Shellie were the others. Caroline
Mckinley directed.
The play was accompanied by
choral music from Haydn's Passion"
arranged for a three-part women's
chorus by August King-Smith and
sung by Les Fauvettes of the studio
school. H. M.
