ADDRESS BEFOBE OHIQ SOCIETY Sirrrmurr of Atlantic' Coast States Ofrr Western la ta Continuous ervlr ef Representatives la Cufrrn. WASHINGTON. April 1.-President Taft In an address before the Ohio society of Washington last right pointed out that the dominating power of the eastern states In rongrea- lies In (he fart that they keep men in office when they place them there. He contracted the Influence of the esst In Imitative affair with that of the west and attributed the supremacy of the former 10 the continuous service of legislative representative. "Why la It," asked trie president, "that the small atatea of the east exercise ao much power In coniress? It Is not because an eastern man has any more capacity In the matter of legllatlon than a western man. It Is because when the eastern states get a Hood representative they keep him as lonf as he lives, and then he has an Influence that vastly exceeds the mere numeric1 representation of population. Ohio's Position. ' "I don't know whether- this Is quite germane to the subject of this occasion, but It 'occurs to me to ay this because 1 feel as. though we are all interested in hav ins Ohio well represented, and In having Ohio make itself felt In the. legislation of this country by adopting a system that will certainly bring about the weight it Is en titled to." When the president had concluded, Sena tor Dick, who was on the platform, grasped his hand and shook It enthusiastically. The senator,, whose term expires with this con gress, and who has a hard fight ahead for re-election, said something to Mr. Taft, w ho laughed aloud and said to the assembly of men and women from his native state: "Senator Pick has Just told me that he heartily endorses everything I have said on this 'subject" The president was the guest of honor at a meeting called to organize an Ohio society In Washington. Justice William R. Day presided and substantially was elected pres ident pi the society. , , "There Is only one thing 1 want to say about Ohio that has a political tinge," Mr. Taft said, "and that la that I think a mlsttffcq' has been made of recent years in Ohio in. falling to continue aa our repre sentatives the same people term after term. "I am in favor of continuing the repre sentation aa we have It, so that the repre sentatives shall be the foremost in both halls of the legislature." At the Theaters Yc.

Corbetl r'rtderlck McVane William M. Tiavere ltutler Maurice Oeortfe Kmma Kltynge Blanche Walsn Blanche Walsh is always wortn while; she has devoted herself as persistently aa any other ona person on the stage to the drama of purpose, and while she hss long been associated with "that sort of woman," It has been no Idly-drawn picture of mere suffering and following remorse that she has b-n engaged in portraying. She has taken each of these as a problem, or factors in a great problem, and has used each as citations In support of her argu ment. She has argued for the woman, and argued ably and well and who shall say she has not argued with more of suc cess than the world has yet realised T in tha present Instance Miss Walsh has a play that Is worthy of the care she has bestowed upon It; It may have soma tech nical flaws, faults that appeal to the hypercritical, but its subject la ao vast and Its treatment so Impressive that the Imperfections are covered by the finer fabric of the Interest generated by the forceful way in which the main question Is put. It is whether the woman is not to be given the same chance as tha man; ls.lt fair to say to the one, "It's all right; you have promised reform, and we will trust you," and to say to the other, "You have sinned," and there Is no hope for you." The story deals with the life of a girl. Brie loved a young man, who was caught stealing; his employer promised to secure his release If she would pay tha price. She paid, and on the testimony of the employer he was sent to prison. Ten years later the girl, now a woman, has a chance to wed a -man she really loves, but finds his sister ia about to become tha wife of the man who sent the young lover to prison after getting his pay for assistance he never gave. ."The question for the woman is to accept tha verdict of society that condemns her and allows the man to go on, or to lay bare her heart and save an Innocent girl. She tells the wiole story and retires. The ending Is a trifle conventional, but Is well within rea son. Miss Walsh builds up the character very carefully; ahe seems something Indifferent at the opening of the play, without hope, but clinging to her chance. As events move along eho develops the greatest of hope, then sees tha apparent hopelessness of her case, sees her real reason for renunciation misinterpreted, till finally, moved by a still higher resolve, she g:ves up all that she may be the meana of doing soma good for tho man she loves. - She succeeds, and her exit at tha end of the third act Is after one of the most effective olimaxes she ever has achieved. ' The quiet, even recital of her atory of wrong, In which ahe sticks to "brutal facts," with no ef fort Jat extenuation,, seems, tha very. acme of bitter' resolve; then comes the reaction. when she has drained her courage to the utmost, and is Once more the woman, sob bing,, as she says, "I think I had better go home!" This one little touch in Itself la flpe, but la only one .or a number of good chances that are well accepted. All through tha action of the play her art rings true. Her results are certain, and she well deserves tha praise she has had for the best work she has ever done. ' Each of tha several parts In the dramatis personnae Is a cha.-acter, not a "type." Each is vital to the play's action, and each is human in every aspect. And each Is played so well that the praise given the star must be extended to the company. Mr. Goodman's dialogue' is open to the accusation of being Just a little "talky," but It Is so earnest and so reasonable that this will be forgiven him. Great arguments may be presented In epigrams, but tha com mon range of mortals do not talk that .way, and the people in this play are Just men and women, dealing 'with a matter that very closely touches each of them, and ' therefore have little or no time for the refinement of their speech. And in the talk of the play some mighty good lines are set forth. It is well worth listening to. The Brandels was well filled last night, and Miss Walsh has 'the satisfaction of knowing her efforts were appreciated, for the curtain calls she had must have told her that.

Charles Enatx Mrs. Jordan Fannie Mldgeley Polly Jordan Virginia Berry Kuth Jordan Mabel Brownell Edwin Mordaunt told a etory at the Krug last night the story of the making of a man. It was a hard story to tell. The story of the redemption of Stephen Uhfnt and his crossing of that other great divide, the one which lies between the In stincts of primitive man and the subtle organised creature of civilisation, can be but partly told In words. Mr. Mordaunt told It. True to the part that the author has given him the . actor keeps Stephen Ghent simply tntereetlng, not in any sense a hero, but a man. The admiration that lie drawa Is for being a man. The play In Itself Is striking. The plot Involves a marriage without lovemaking and without love, jual passion on one side and fear on tha other. Then follows the bitter struggle of tha heart of the cave man that Stephen Ghent wears against the Puritanic conceptions that a background of centuries of racial development have put Into Ruth Jordan, the woman he bore away to be his mate. The struggle ends in . her becoming hla wife. in the successful Interpretation of this remarkable psychological experiment a large share of effort and art falls to the part of Mabel Brownell as Ruth Jordan. She must be first the symbolism of the force that works the rebirth of her sav age husband, and, secondly, a woman. The fusing of the two becomes a curiously I netted human fabric.

April l.-The official opposi tion amendment to Premier Asqulth's reso lutions on the veto power of the House of Lords was moved In the Hduse of Commons today by Sir Robert Ballantyne Flnlay. It declares In favor of a strong; and efficient second chamber and expresses willingness to consider proposals for the reform of tha upper house, but declines to proceed with the government proposals, which would destroy the usefulness of any second cham ber. Winston Spencer Churchill, the home secretary, made an Important contribution to the debate. He declared that when the veto resolutions were disposed of they would sdvance with the budget, regardless of tha consequences. Unless the House of Commons carried tha budget It was Idle, ho said, to look to the king or to the country to carry the veto bill, but he predicted that at the proper time and under the proper circumstances they would succeed In carrying both the veto and budget meas ures to the steps of the throne. Premier Asqulth's guillotining motion, which Is published tonight, provides that the committee stage of all three veto reso lutlons shall be concluded on the night of April 14. The government apparently has made up Its mind to bring political matters to an Issue In May. In the House of Commons this afternoon Premier Asqulth announced two test motions, the first to be made on April 4, allotting a specific period for the discussion of the veto regulations, and, tha second, designating the time to be given to a consideration of the budget. The opinion In the lobby today was that this ariangement portended a general election within six weeks.

PIERRE, S. D., April l.-The Missouri river congress closed today after the adop- of resolutions, endorsing the general tlon Improvement of the waterways of the coun try, urging the states to assist In the work and recommending liberal national appro priations for the Missouri river. The principal feature of the afternoon session was a showing of what can bi dona In the way of briquettlng the lignite coat of the upper Missouri country to make It a marketable product all tha year round and thus make Missouri river trafflo com mfrclally successful. Captain Grant Marsh of Blsmack, who has followed the river business since 18-4S. when he started as a cabin boy on the Ohio river, has decided Ideas In regard to tho Missouri river, built on. practical ex perience. He says the river Is now In shapo for an Immense local traffic, and will be come better If the government directs it attention toward protecting the banks and pulling a few snags. Monry for keeping an open channel without protection of the hanks Is wasted, as the cutting of the shore (I!! the bed of the stream as fast as It I. cleared. If the biviks are protected the river will make Its own channel and keeo It. Proper protection of the banks would leclalm more good tillable land along tha Missouri river tnan will be secured by fill the irrigation projectH on which the government Is spending millions. lie Is ready to cite many Instances to prove his contention. JUDGE OLIVER FARM SOLD La rare Property 'Near Oniws Disposed ,. , of for Two Hundred Thousand Dollars. v CRESTON. Ia., , April t.i-(Speclal.) The old Judgs Oliver farm, known all over tha state, located five miles south east of Onawa and comprising 2,200 aces has been sold to William Melons of Adair for a price aggregating nearly $200,000. Tha deal was made through Chicago parties, and is considered one of - the largest real estate deals brought Off in the middle west for some time. The big farm has six sets of Improvements and 1,200 acres of it has been in cultivation for many years. Mr. Malone expects to put on a big steam plow and by next year every acre of this great farm will be put to producing crops. Only a few years ago Mr. Malone was a small farmer, renting small places by the year. By In dustry and good Judgment he Is now the owner of a dozen farm properties in this and adjoining states. WASHINGTON. April I. Oysters can no longer be fed or as the trade term goes, 'floated In bracklrh water" before they are offred for sale. The Department of Agriculture has ordered that the practice muit stop at once. The order affects all the oyster trade in the United States and Is of Immense Importance to dealers. Recently the department gave a hearing to tha oystermen who maintained that the quality of the oyster is Improved by the floating process. The Department of Agri culture, however, holds that to float an tyster after it Is taken from Its bed, pro vides means for the oyster to take In con tamlnatlon from tha water and offers risk of typhoid.

Continuing his exam ination of International politics in a series of papers now being published, ' Admiral Foirrnler says that it Is useless to deny that there is a possibility of war between the United States and Japan, as Irritation in America showed Japan's demands or Japan's policies of absorption prove in tolerable to America's excessive self-esteem or interests in tha far east. These interests, the admiral adds, are antagonistic to those of Japan which pushed on by fate to expand In the Asiatic con tinent by a conquest or diplomatic victory, seeks to become predominant In the very regions which the United Slates protects In supporting the integrity, of China and the policy of tha open door. The admiral declares that Japan's great fear is that the friendly relations between the United States and China will culminate In an out and out alliance, and "trnis In event of war, the United States would- have.. a base of operations and general resources ..j vastly superior to the PhtllppWs.; ' v ' " ' ' Admiral Fourntor thinks that the naval strength of the United States will one day not only exceed that of Japan., but will probably equal that of Great Britain, In splta of the effort of .England to preserve Its supremacy of the eas. In case of a hostile, coalition' it the United States with the triple -alliance, thVadmlral believes, France would be forced tojsupple tpent the forces of England. Japan and Russia. He doubts, however, that the Ger man emperor, "although devoured by a de- . sire to rnnash the league and adopt a diplo macy as unscrupulous as that of the Iron chancellor, would enter on the perilous venture of such a war, which would offer little chance of victory on sea or land."
