INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. ".-Thomas Tag
gart, chairman of the national democratic
committee, left Indianapolis last night for
New York. He would not discuss the
nature of the business, but soma of his
friends are Inclined to the belief that he
has been summoned to testify before the
legislative committee which is Investigating
the Insurance conditions In New York rela
tive to the alleged contributions to the
national democratic campaign fund.
NEW YORK. Sept. 21.-Cha!rman Tag
gart of the democratic national committee
arrived In New York today from Indian
apolis. He denied the statement made .by
President McCall of the New York Life
before the Insurance Investigation commit
tee that the democratic national committee
had solicited money for the democratic
fund from that company.
'No member of the committee or any
agent ever asked Mr. McCall of the New
York Life for a dollar," he said.
Mr. Taggart added: "Neither the demo.
cratlc national committee or any author
lied representatives of the committee ever
asked a dollar contribution to the fund
from any other Insurance corporation."
He said he did not come, to New York to
testify before the Insurance Investigating
committee.

NEW YORK. 8ept. a. (Special Tele
gram.) The ethics controlling the forma
tion of underwriting syndicates, are being
extensively discussed In connection with
the testimony given the legislative Investi
gating committee. It Is the consensus of
opinion among those best qualified to judge
that the record of the Mutual Life shows:
First, that Its participation In such syndi
cates was amply justified by financial
usages throughout the Civilised world; sec
ond, that the results of such participation
have Inured to the benefit and profit of Its
policy holders; third, that the occasional
participation of some of the company's
trustees in such syndicates was a source of
proportionate profit to the company. The
testimony likewise proved that the Mutual
Life has never entered into any Joint ac
counts with bankers or brokers wherein
profits on purchases or sales were divided.

proclaiming the city under martial law.
10:30 a. m. The expressions of dissatis
faction over the terms of the treaty of
peace In the columns of the local papers
are not so frequent as they were some time
ago. The list of papers suspended since
the urgency ordinance was passed Includes
nine published In Tokio and thirteen pub

Indignation occasioned by the Intervention
of three European powers at the close of
the war between Japan and China, the
cases of papers suspended exceeded 200,
ten of which were In Tokio.
The Asahl remains suspended. It Is

Clyde Fitch Is Improving In his mechan
ics. It Is still possible for him to Im
prove In other directions, but he has suc
ceeded In making a play that hangs to
gether, of which each succeeding act Is
the complement of whst has gone before.
nd of telling a story that Is at least co
herent, and with certain elements of plaus
ibility behind it. Mr. Fitch has long been
nown as a capable constructor of situa
tions, but for the most part he has con
ducted them separately, so that when put
together the joints were plainly visible,
even allowing the light to shine through
occasionally. Not so "The Woman In the
Case." This piece Is very well carpen
tered, and proceeds smoothly along Its
course from its characteristic opening to
Its characteristic ending, two good Fitch
acts leading up to the most powerful in
dramatic sense of any he has yet Se
ised. The fourth act Is the Inevitable
ntl-cllmax, without which no American-
built play seems complete. It Is suffl-
lent to say that Mr. Fitch's people are
the superficially smart folks he has made
so well known to hs public. With two ex
ceptions. Mrs. Rolfe and Claire Foster
might have been drawn from life. At any
rale the one character so nicely opposes
the other that the balance between them
Is perfect, and their development evinces
n understanding of human nature the
uthor has not generally been credited
with. The great success of the play from
every point may be understood after seeing
it.
Miss Walsh is more happily situated In
one way in this than has been her experi
ence. She has the "happy ending" hitherto
denied her, and she is given a chance to
work out the destiny of a true-hearted,
clean-minded woman. She Is required to
pit her wits against those of a wicked
woman, versed in the ways of the world
and shrewd with that preternatural under-
tandlng that la part of the equipment of
the man or woman who lives on the folly
of others. Miss Walsh leads splendidly up
to the climax of the play, unfolding a fine
conception of the wife whose faith In her
husband spurs her on to entrap her ad
versary and wring from her the truth that
shall free the man who is falsely accused
f the murder of his dear friend. Deftly,
persistently, relentlessly, she plies her
questions, never losing sight of the goal
she has In sight, yet not at any point seem
ing to care for more than a cursory ac
count oT the crime; coarsely flattering the
woman she loathes and yet whom she must
beslaver In order to Induce her to proceed
with her drunken boasting and maudlin
recital until sh has possession of the
facts, and then her triumph. And col
lapse. In this Miss Walsh has by her per
sonality lifted an almost commonplace
situation to the plane of artistic achieve
ment. Nothing a.he has ever done, save.

In life, and It requires courage as well as
talent to present It with such fidelity as It
Is given. The woman Is essentially bad,
hopelessly selfish, and extremely vulgar.
Her tastes aro gross and her manners are

picture true to life, and In the third act

spits out her spltn against the man she
has sent falsely to face the gallows, and
vainly regrets the death of the man who
foolishly ruined himself because he did
love her, all make up a wonderfully strong
and practically perfect assumption of a
most difficult character. Miss Dorr de
serves to be praised with Miss Walsh for
the success of the play.
The compnny Is a strong organization In
every way. Not a character but is finely
done, and each !s most essential to the
rounding out of the story. Mr. Fitch
doesn't overlook his opportunities to let
go Borne cynical shots at the public at
large and certain grades of It in particu
lar, and these are delivered In the most
effective manner. As the play was staged
under his personal direction, and as he Is
one of the best stage managers In the
country, nothing more need be said on this
score.
Miss Walsh has played In Omaha to
larger audiences than- was present last
night, but never before one that greeted
her more cordially or more enthusiastically
expressed Its approval of her efforts. "The
Woman In the Case" will be repeated to
night, and if It gets Its deserts the Boyd
theater will not accommodate the people
who will want to see It.

Every one ought, to see "Fantasma" be

something short of a decade. For twelve
years the show was before the riubllc and
then It was withdrawn. Now there Is a
new generation with childhood memories
and other generations with memories that
they would like to charm back to reality If
they could. Result. Immense audiences to
see th revival, which Is In a brand new
dress, with a vanlnnatlon of modern fan
cies. "Fantasma" has a lot to It. It Is a vaude
ville how, a melodrimatlc allegory, a spec
tacular display of gorgeous scenery, a col
lection of mechanical dvl?es furnishing
endless surprises snd defying description, a
small comic circus with the menagerie and
a "great moral lesson." These Ingredients
are stirred together and well mixed. The
house, Is either howling with laughter,
awed Into respectful silence or soothed snd
enchanted by soft irnuslc, swavlng bodies
and Interesting effects.
This Is "Fantasma's" fourth week since
the brothers Hanlon beckoned It forward
again and sent It out to appeal the flays
again, sent It out to appeal to the days

tracks. The checks were picked up by
trainmen and turned over to John W.

MR. FAiRFIELD ISSUES A CARD
He Replies to the Personal Aapersloas
of Manager Lane of the Tele
phone Company,
The Nebraska Telephone people seem to
be disturbed at the prospect that someone
else may make a little money. I do not
think Mr. Line's line of reasoning will Im
press anyone as very Important to the bus
iness Interests of Omaha. We do not pro
pose to bo drawn Into any personal con
troversy. Mr. Hunt Is not the Issue, nor
any of his associates. The Issue Is simply
this: What benefit would an Independent
telephone compnny be to the working men
and the mercantile class of Omaha? To
the working man It would, mean additional
work In the construction of buildings, con
duits and pole lines and the employment of
a large number of permanent operatives
To the mercantile class it would bring
connection with a vast number of custo
mers, present or prospective, throughout
the surrounding country with whom our
people now have no telephone connection.
As has been stated In former announce
ments, tnere are more ir.an ia.uw inae-
Pendent telephone. In Nebraska and west-
I ern Iowa that cannot now be reached from
menta, there are more than 125,000 lnde-
Omaha. The cost of an additional tele
phone Is wholly trifling when ' compared
! '' tne benefits to be obtained To the
mass of the people who can get along with
one telephone the question Is that of
cheapness. To every user of a telephone
there is the additional question of good
service.
Mr. Lane's charge that this is a scheme
to sell out Is best disproved by the guar
anty and bond offered by the Independent
company. The sale to any other company
doing business here would forfeit our fran
chise. The city would be richer by $26,000,
the amount of bond we offer, and In any
case the working men would have already

benefited from employment In building the
plant. Further than this, even If It were
possible to consolidate with the Bell com
pany, rates could not be restored to pres
ent figures. Once rates are reduced they
are red tired for good.
Mr. Lane says: "Ask the people of Min
neapolis and St. Paul or other cities where
two telephone companies have existed and
they will tell you that more than one tele
phone company should not be permitted to
do business In any city." We have asked
them, and the farts speak for themselves
In reply. The Independent companies have
more subscribers than the Bell companies.
Is not this a pretty good endorsement?
This Is a purely business proposition for
Omaha and hai nothing to do with person
alities. If we are willing to pay the ex
penses of a special election there Is no ex
cuse for the council to refuse submission
of the question to the people. If we sre
willing to spend $1,600,000 In Omaha to prove
our claims we should be allowed to do so;
that Is all there Is to It. We are asking
for nothing from the people, but are of
fering them many benefits.
Mr. Lane Is not careful of his facts.
There was no agreement to sell out last
year and there Is no agreement to sell out
