The Season.
NEW YORK.
By Richard Watts, J.


-HE dramatic season still has to
lean pretty heavily on revivals
for its happier moments. Al
i though 1t is a discouraging
sign of the failure of the modern
playwright when producers have to
fall back on Shakespeare, Ibsen and
Thomas Decker for dramatic fare,
there must remain a certain comfort
for us all in the artfullness with which
the good things of the past are being
presented. The new plays may be
almost continuously disappointing, but
the old plays are produced and acted
with quite remarkable skill. I sup
pose we should chiefly thank Maurice
Evans, Orson Welles and Jed Harris
for the bountifulness of the current
revivals. Mr.. Evans reminded us how
Shakespeare should be acted, Mr..
Welles and his Mercury Theater
showed us what freshness, enthusiasm
and creative imagination could do
with works that had become class
room required reading, and Mr.. Harris
recalled to US that Ibsen's plays were
not mere starring vehicles but could be
done with good actors In the lesser
roles.
All Of this Is, Of course, preliminary
to lecture on the Mercury Theater's
production of Dekker's "The Shoe
makers Holiday" and Mr.. Harris
presentation Of Ibsen's "A Dolls
House." since both Mr.. Evans and
the Mercury Julius Caesar" have been
discussed sufficiently in these columns
for the time being. Both THE Shoe
makers Holiday" and "A Dolls House"
have been admirably revived, and they
are 20 different in every way, save

Presidential approval of $l1,000000

ton satisfactory to all states con-

the river, and seven bikes In Mass

would contribute nothing toward the
program.
Under a compact entered into by
Connecticut, Massachusetts, YER
mont and New Hampshire last year.
this state would have paid 40 per
cent Of the cost Of acquiring dam
sites. The compact failed Of fed
eral government approval because
Of q controversy over ownership Of
the sites and the right to develop
water power.
II am delighted at the news, which
indicates that President Roosevelt
Is showing q keen interest In our
problem" said Gov. Cross. His at
titude indicated that Connecticut
would not join with Vermont and

authority to condemn sites in those
states for reservoirs.

Noted Orchestra Leader
Sails After Reported Diff.
ferences in Italy

Paris, Oct. 5-(Up)-Arturo Tos-
canini, orchestra conductor delayed
80 long In italy he was travelling al
a speed out Of keeping with his
years TO keep an engagement in New
York, was asked today If reports
that the Italian government had re-
fused to permit him to depart were
true. He replied:
'The story Is not true. The gov
eminent denied it."
Toscanini, harried, apparently
unwilling to talk, was interviewed
In Saint Lazare station where he
caught the boat train for the liner
Normandie which sailed from lie
Havre at 2 o. m. with him aboard
He had raced across Paris by auto
mobile from the train which had
brought him from his home In MI
Ian, stopping by the offices Of the
French line where he got the last
accommodation on the Normandie
"a cabin which he must share with
another voyager.
He had been met and was pur-
sued by reporters but refused to ut
ter one word to them until he was
in sight of the boat train. There he
posed for pictures with his grand
daughter.
Maestro, how did the reports
that you were detained IN Milan
start?" he was asked.
you're a reporter" he replied.
You ought to know"
Anyway" he asked, you see I'm
not missing my contract"
The Toscaninis apparently had
made no reservations for arrange
ments for their voyage though the
maestro has been under contract to
conduct q series of radio concerts
in New York beginning Oct. 10.
The French line was unable TO pro-
vide accommodations for Mrs. Tos-
canini and she will sail next week.
Toscanini and his wife left Milan
last night. No one had been able to
see them and 1t was reported that
the Italian government had refused
him a passport to go abroad be-
cause of his anti-Fascist views. II

mind.
Toscanini engaged in q heated
discussion In Italian with Giovanni

the United Press that he would

DEFENSE TO CALL
UPON WITNESSES
Change of Venue in Al
legged Conspiracy Trials
to Be Fought Friday

Indications that several witnesses
would be called Friday by defense
counsel In opposition to the motion
Of Special Prosecutor Hugh M. AL
corn to remove the municipal con-
spiracy trials from Waterbury arose
today.
It appears that witnesses will be
called principally to testify to the
sufficiencies Of the Waterbury court
house with regard to facilities for the
storage Of volumnious records which
will be used by the state In the trial.
Special Prosecutor Alcorn argued
last Friday that the Waterbury
court house lacks facilities not only
for storage, but also for housing a
mixed jury over a protracted period.
Opposition to the Alcorn motion
will be presented by defense coun-
sci starting Friday morning at II
o'clock. Mr.. Alcorn apparently con-
cluded his side Of the question by
presenting seven witnesses last Fri
day afternoon. It is expected that
several county courthouse employees
will be called as witnesses by the
defense.
Attorney Thomas r. McDonough.
who represents Alderman Thomas
p. Kelly, referred last week to the
large rooms which once held SO vot-
ing machines being empty presently.
Defense counsel declined today.
however, to discuss their plans for
Friday. There Is belief that the argu-
ments will be concluded by Friday
afternoon and that Judge Simpson
will then take the matter under
advisement.

new SPENDING
RECORD seen
Bitter Fight Looms fol
Next Congress Over
Taxes, Economy
BY LYLE c. WILSON

United Press star Correspondent
Washington, Oct. 5-The new deal
administration appears today to be
on the way toward new fiscal year
spending record as congressional
conservatives discuss vague and
probably futile economy plans.
A bitter economy-taXation- spend-
ing battle is brewing for the 18th
congress which will be elected next
month and meet the first week in
January, 1899. But there is slight
prospect that major cuts in expendi-
ture will be imposed by congress on
the administration.
Much hope probably Is that the
conservative Democrats who were
offended or directly affected by the
1898 primary purge" effort will join
conservative Republicans In an eff
fort to earmark future appropria-
tons, perhaps reduce them slightly.
One of the top senate Democrats
whose influence Is considerable told
the United Press:
II don't think congress will vote
the president another great sum Of
money to be spent by his ALLEGATION
or by ALLEGATION Of WPA or PWA
authorities"
The idea behind that statement
Is that congress should reassert its
authority over all federal spending.
1t does not necessarily signify that
the government would spend less for
relief or public works. Rather, it
