U.S. CONTROL OF ROADS
C01MG, SAYS CHIEF OF
BROTHERHOODS' FIGHT
Settlement of Strike Shows
Trend of Sentiment, Asserts
Garretson Who Led Parleys
in Washington
MAY DROP 8-HOUR FIGHT
WASHINGTON, Sept. 5. Government
ownership of railroads and other public
utilities la coming. In tho opinion of A. II,
Garrotson, lender of tho four railroad
brotherhoods' flitht for an eight-hour day
Avoldanco of a national rail strike, through
strong Rovernmental Interference,, ho do
llevea, Is only one of a series of steps
toward such an end.
"Ten years hence," ho predicted, "you will
see a mighty stride toward governmental
ownership and operation of all railroads,
as welt as other public and quas'puli1lc
utilities. I belleo In such a program after
maturo reflection. J take this view that
there aro deadly dangers In Government
ownership, but that with the Government
engaged In regulation as It must t feel
that wo must chooso tho least dangerous.
That Is Government operation and owner
ship. Tho sentiment In that direction has
grown steadily. As a bricklayer would say,
settlement of tho striko Is just another
course In tho structure "
Garretson explained that some roads may
faco a balance on the wrong stdo of tho
books aB a result of Government regulation.
"Then," ho continued, "such lines must
look to tho Government for reimbursement.
But the lines making a profit should not
be allowed to cscnpo, whllo their weaker
associates are put under Government con
trol and assistance, Hence, ns I seo It, Gov
ernment operation and control of all rail
roads must result."
Commenting on tho Garretson Interview,
ono of the foremost railway exports of tho
country today said;
"His statement that this Is one course
In the htrticture Is mild. It nppcars to
mo that this law has about built the whole
structuro for Government ownership. It
certainly has brought such a situation 10
years nearer to realization."
Tho eight-hour law by wh'ch a railroad
striko was averted may bo accepted by the
railroads -without a test, of Us .constitution
ality. Negotiations between the ra Iroads
nnd tho brotherhoods arc being conducted,
It Is said, by which tho -roads would agree
not to contest tho law.
Judgo W. L. Chambers, of tho United
fitntos Doard of Mediation nnd Conciliation,
admitted that overtures were being made In
this direction, but declined to comment
further.
W. S. Carter, president of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen and Engine
men, Bald he had not heard of tho roport.
"None of the four chiefs has heard of It,"
ho added.
"Would you favor It?" ho was aBkod.
"I would llko to hear moro about It. I
havo heard nothing about It at all," ho re
plied. TAX ASSESSORS SITTING

FAME SPREADS TO SOUTH AMEniCA
Atlantic City, counts It a feather In Its
cap that nio Janeiro, having made a long
range study of the force through citizen
representatives who havo bathed under tho
vigilant eyes of guardsmen and Htood upon
the Uoardwalk while they flashed through
tho heaviest seas to rescue Imperiled bath
ers, Is about to adopt what Is termed the
"Atlantic City system." Its fame has been
carried to Europe as well, and oven to dis
tant South Africa.
Ofllclal records show a clenn sheet for
Atlantic City's bathing beach this summer,
thanks to the esprit do corps that stops at
nothing. Up to today the beach gunrds
had to their credit a total of 781 rescues,
canes whero people were Baved from real
peril. This total Is somewhat less than
that of last year, with 801 for the same
period, and much greater than the summer
of 1914, when tho rescues totaled 381.

MUSIC AND COMEDY
REIGN AT KEITH'S
The Meistersingcrs Arc Pace
makers in a Show of Much
Merit
This Is tho time of year when vaudeville
supposed to get a flying stnrt. it Is op
portunity month for all tho ambitious artists
to display their wares for pubtlo Inspec
tion. In this connection there nre quite
a few new thlngt at Keith's this week.
"The Melstorslngers." of which we will
speak Inter nre, of course, the paccmaltors.
Frank Le Dent, a Juggler with really new
Ideas, who has been touring abroad for
many years, starts tho proceedings. lie
displays nulto a great deal of trick stuff In
addition to doing Homo good Juxgllng, nnd
springs a number of surprises which show
both originality and Ingenuity. Ills act
gradually npproached that of artistic magic
nnd bears tho stamp of class throughout,
aencrous applause.
I.ou Lockctt and Jack Waldron followed
In some rapid dancing nnd a song which
appeared to be about a Hawaiian girl. Ac
cording to theso songs, Hawaiian girls
have nothing to do but wander nround tho
Island urging men to lovo them. Much
appreciation.
Fny Wnllaco and Hegan Hughston ap
peared In a sketch by Uvcrctt S. Ituskay
called "Forty Wlnlts "
Kcnnoy and IIolls then entered In what
was announced on tho program ns a mow
act called "Froshy'a Imltnton " If this
pair would ellm'.nnte tho tnlk about acts
which preceded them and the old alleged
dressing-room gossln nbotii other artists on
the bill, which was nulto original In 1905,
their act would he much bettor. Tho
'mltatlon monkey ntuff (echoes of Donnelly
and Glrard, 1S88), docs not seem to bo
abreast of present day vaudeville, and the
Imitation Spanish dnncc could bo laid aside
without much loss of prestige.
, Incidentally, tho line nbout "hiccoughs
being tho echoes of departed spirits" was
ono of Dcrnnrd Granville's biggest laughs.
Trolongod applause many bows.
La Argentina. "Spain's Greatest Dancer,"
danced Pollto approval.
And then came Tomo Kerr nnd Steffy
Berko. You wouldn't think, perhaps, that
"Steffy Berko" was the name of ono of tho
most strikingly beautiful girls you had over
seen, but Its so. Th s nrtlstlo couple dis
pensed melodies of tho past and present
nnd actually made their "Ilddlos" talk. It
required very llttlo stretch of tho Imagina
tion to tell what the volcellko notes of tho r
violins said when the pair offered a flirta
tion number. They cornered applause of
the show. Songs which made one forgot
1 fo's cares and think of the days when tho
world was happy and peaceful wore offered
by tho Melsterslngers.
Artistic hit of the show. Francis Doolcy
and Corlime Sales appeared and unearthed
cverj' laugh In the house. What moro enn
bo said. Tho Itussells closed tho show.
J, O. C.
Globe
"Wake Up, America"
Pretty girls, artistic costumes and good
music aro tho Ingredients which go to make
"Wako Up America," the head II ner at the
Globe, an entertaining offering. The act Is
full of snap and has a number of surprises.
Juno Mills sings songs In a way strictly
original and was rewarded with applause.
Other good acts Include tho Willis Duo,
Charley Itlley, Eldrldgo and Barlow, Von
nell nnd Drew, George Allen nnd company,
Gene Ward Duo and Allco Kinney.
"Judgment" Nixon Grand
Katherlne Kavanaugh stars In the head
line act at the Nixon Grand this week. In
a pleasing and dramatic playlet called
"Judgment," which shows tho unreliable
nature of circumstantial evidence accepted
by the courts, Miss Kavanaugh has n vehi
cle In which she uses her powerful ability.
Other acts on tho bill are Mr. and Mrs.
Kelso, In a comedy skit; Wells, Norworth
and Moore, Newhoft and Phelps, and Brad
ley and Ardlne. The moving pictures nre
up to their usual standard.
Bert Leslie Cross Keys
Bert Leslie, known as the "King of
Slang," leads In the laugh-making at the
Cross Keys. He Is supported In a comedy
sketch, "Hogan In London," by Elva Bates
and a very capable cast,
Dow and Dow keep laughs moving In an
net full of comedy; Noodles Fagan sings
snd talks In his own characteristic manner
with good results. Horn and Ferris and
Lucille Savoy complete the bill.
Colonial Delles Alhambra
There Is plenty of variety and an
abundance of muslo and comedy In the bill
at the Alhambra.
The Colonial Belles, a classy musical at
traction, Is featured and was given a very
cordial reception by an enthusiastic audi
ence. Other good acts were offered by
Baker, Oerman and Branlgan, Blcknel and
Zlbney. and Karl and Sunshine,
The photoplay attraction for the first half
of the week Is Pauline Frederick In "The
Woman In the Case."

N. J, EVANGELISTIC
"MADA3IK SPY" STARTS
INTERNATIONAL CIRCUIT
Opens 109'h Season nt IlFstoric Wnlnut.
Knickerbocker nnd Orphcum Offerings
"Madame Spy" was tho debutante of tho
Walnut s lODth season, nnd with yester
day's matlneo this historic plnyhousc again
devotes Itself to the housing of popular
priced attraction. Ie Morrison nnd Ilnrry
Clay Hlaney have written a modernized
verilon of a melodrama of tho otd stolen
pinna, forclgn-spy anrt Government-hoi o
type. With tho preparedness films and the
nuropea'n tir news to draw from, their
piny nbounds with llttlo speeches from tho
hero such ns, "Ono that comes first beforo
you my country!" nnd "Ono step more
nnd I flro!" In Its present form It Is too
long nnd talky, but with careful pruning
It enn bo made Into n play thnt should
find a placo amorg tho higher-class melo
dramas. It In well staged.
Herbert Clifton is tho featured one. Ho
will bo recalled ns having recently npponrcd
nt Keith's In his delightful Impersoiintlous
of femlnlno types, nnd his high tcglitcr of
notes In well-chosen songs lends a further
chnrm. His renl stock-in-trade, however. Is
an Infectious laugh. To William A. Tully
and Florence Pendleton belong tho honors
of excellent character studies and renl abil
ity, nlong with n presence showing a thor
ough understanding of the requirements of
their parts. Tho comedy was intrusted to
Mnrgartt Vollmer, while Catolyn Humph
ries supplied the girl ntmoiphere. Lewis
Shen, Victor It. lleccroft nnd Hdwnrd J.
Shobcn each gave a faithful portrayal of
their characters, as did Hilda Clara In a
small bit as the phono opeintor.
Tho current season nt the Knickerbocker
Theater got off to a running ntnrt yester
day nftornoon with n musical comedy, "Tho
Funny Mr. Doolcy," ns tho nttrnrtlon. Whllo
tho plot, as usual with such musical me
langes, pulled n charloy-horso early in tho
first net and stnggcrcd on a bit lamo to the
finish. It gave I'aul Qulnn as Mr. Doolcy
and Joe Mitchell as Dr. Jolllem Sk nnem
full scope for their comic abilities nnd that
was all tho audience naked or could havo
wished, for they utilized them to tho utter
most. The supporting cast was clllclcnt through
out, with Em 1 1 Hcusel as Hans Klnkelsp el
deserving of special mention; tho chorus was
lively and well trained, the gowns of Miss
Hilda Bcrtln, the leading lady, ns Minerva,
were us attractive to tho audience ns to
Doctor Sklnncm, her ilramnt c alllnlty, and
tho dancing of Billy Shean aB Xoah Lott
merited all the npplnuso It received.
W.th Wllllnm W. Miller again as man
ager and Georgo W. Bnrbler ns director, tho
Knickerbocker will offer musical nnd dra
matic attractions at popular pr ces. featur
ing where possible ono or another of their
stock favorites of last year. In pursuance
of this policy, Ted Urackctt will bo seen
next week In 'That Other Woman."
Tho Orphoum began with "Little Peggy
O'Moore," which, while essentlnlly a play
about politics In an American city. Is In
fused with Irish love, slmpllc ty nnd frank
ness which has an appealing Interest. The
p'ay Is woven about a little Irish girl, an
orphan, left by her guardian, Dan Murphy,
who crtiiL-3 to America and meets with
success, both political and flnnnclnl. Little
Peggy, through loncsomeness and want of
friends, comes to America nnd visits tho
Mayor, Dan Murphy, who Is her guardian.
Ed Clarko Lilly, ns Howard Richmond,
tho opposing candidate In tho coming
mayoralty election, falls In lovo with her,
but Is refused Guardian and ward finally
becomo man and wife. Tho main character
parts, which are acted by Ada Glrard as
Little Peggy O'Moore. and Oscar O'Shea,
ns Dan Murphy, the Mayor, are well fitted
to both.
MARTINE WOULD PROBE DELAY
OF SENATE'S CASEMENT PLEA
Senator in Resolution Says It Was Ap
parently Deliberato
WASHINGTON'. Sopt 5. Senator Mar
tine, of New Jersey, today Introduced a
resolution asking the Secretary of State
to tell the Senate the day and hour the
plea for clemency In tho caso of Ifloger
Casement was dispatched and delivered to
Great Britain. The resolution was referred
to the Foreign Relations Committee.
"Some one was to blame," said Marline.
"It Is a criminal shame. I want to know
why this plea for clemency was seemingly
purposely delayed until Casement's body
was In the colllti covered with quicklime."

Btiez. Iff always been n safe rulo with Winter
Gnrden .ih'iws that you can never see the
forest for tl.e limbs. Hut tills time tho
forost consists of no less husky herbs than
tho wit nnd humor i,f Mr. Al Jolson, nnd
the resulting Impression Is a new nnd nlto
gethcr different sort of Miow.
Yet, as a matter of fact, tho limbs aro
still there, and most of tho other familiar
appurtonancos, too. Tho costumer s still
committing tho esthetic crime of display
ing the feminine back doubtless because
there Isn't nny other unexplored territory
left. Frank Carter still backs Maude AdamH
off tho map ns a torturer of tho vowels
and still remains a likablo person. Kitty
Doner Is still a leaping fountain of exuber
ance. Lawrenco D'Orsay "haws" about as
usual. There is a French lady who says
"Longfong" In tho good old way The
scenery keeps up Its stendy Improvement,
passing In tho present production through
n sort of scenic triple play Urban to Mc
Qulnn to Bakfst while the lighting Is just
ns bad as ever. Tho effulgence of Moon
nnd Morris fades beforo tho pedal charm
of Grace and Berkes. Thero Is no runway,
heaven be praised, but thero Is a little pri
vate promennde of his own for Mr Jolson.
There are the novelties, too, which nro
just as usunl ns tho usual things. Bowers,
Crocker and Walters, tho "three rubes" of
vaudeville, wed tho various arts by Intro
ducing some capital Keystone stuT. And
If they might have como out of Uie Sen
nettlan studio of klck-'cm-down dlablcrles,
Barn" Luplno Is surely headed that way.
Ho did CO or CO tumbles that should keep
Charlie Chaplin and Uilllo Itcevos sitting
up nights. Add to this tho Spanish dances
of Mr. Luplno and Isabel Itodrlguz
dances full of a rare pictorial art which
called up Zulogaga canvases and certain
woodcut:) of the Middlo Ages und you
have a Winter Garden show of tho first
brandy and soda water. And don't forget
Cus.
But, of course, you can't do that. Last
night ho japed and jawed and shouted,
Inserted Innuendo, rioted through ragtime
and turned Into a flrst-rato singer of serious
ballads Ho led us up to jests ho obvious
that wo got all sorts of fun out of seeing
them coming, and then ho did them with
that Inimitable enthusiasm which always
makes tho Joy of hearing them ten times
greater.
What is tho secret of it? Well, Jolson
has wit In his brain and humor In his faco.
Tho mocking mouth, the gleuming eye, they
nro only the visible agents of a fervor of
fun-making which approaches madness In
Its violence When Mr Jolson mounts tho
tunway he seems half the artist playing
deliberately, and with superb, triumphant
confidence on the audience below him, and
half an Incarnate blackface Bacchus, a
ragtime satyr, mad-drunk with the spring
wine of the ludicrous.
To descend to the prosaic commonplace
of comparison, Mr. Jolson la one of the
finest comic nrtlsts undoubtedly the finest
burnt corklst of the American stage. Bert
Williams la humaner, Frank Tlnney Is a
greater specialist. But Mr. Jolson has -why,
Gus has what a deur departed name
sake of hla calls "elan." The foreign legion
will get him yet. K. M.

Yesterday was Just ns usual. The striked
didn't strike, nnd movie producers made
their customary tittle blunders. Beforo
passing on to optimism, let tin nail these.
Thero was one In every house, The Fnmous
Players gtvo tho Btnnley a film In which
two lorntbns supposedly nn automobile
Journey apart nppenrcd, from architectural
evidence, to be on opposite sides of the
snmo street Tho Triangle gave the patrons
of the Arcadia real n ght photography
In n number of fine scenes nnd then mixed
It up with the usunl mnonllght-taken-nt-mlilctny
stuff Tho Hegent had a scenario
In which an old man tried to commit sul
cldo because he had gambled away other
people's money, and then lived happily ever
after with no explanation whatever. Even
the Honorable Chaplin made a faux pas.
Visitors to the Victoria, Palaco, etc., etc.,
etc, s.iw n man with gloves on look at a
catling card which appeared In a close-up
as held by gloveless fingers.
Hut he It remarked that all the houses
wore eriiwiled nil day and Hint the enter
tainment, barring theso everyday slips, was
tip to the average.
The Stanley's new Fnmous Playcrs-Pnra-mount
film. "Holllng Stones," would have
been decidedly above tho nverngo If Its
numberless complications nnd Inflnltp Key
stoiieTles hnd not been handled by players
who could neither nchlevo tho heights of
light comedy nor ncgotlnte the nuances of
Monslour Sennctt. Owen Moore wasn't very
much nt home In the pirt of a well-meaning
nnd well-bred down nnd out, and his
assistants nn the malo side didn't assist
him. It must Instantly ho shouted, how
ever, that Marguerite Courtot was all Mar
guerite Courtot always was, a lovely crea
ture Indeed.
Tho story, taken from Edgar Solwyn's
play, Is a genuinely nmunlng account of the
ndventurcs of a "rolling stone" who palms
off another nmbulant pebblo ns ono of tho
beneficiaries of a will which requires two
young people to marry within live years In
order to win a fortune. The arrival of
the real heir and a half dozen other com
plications keep things going swiftly. It
cannot bo said, however, thnt the scenario
writers h.-vvo been ns logical as they might
have; and the cutting of tho film leaves
at teaBt one point hopelessly In the dark.
Among the many good things on tho Stan
ley program Is a picture of Mr. and Mrs.
Stotesbury christening the submarlno chasor
Xovada.
Yesterday the Hegent put on Its new fall

enhanced by Buch trimmings ns fresh

Yesterday was Labor Day for Mr. Chap

Irla, Oermantown and Alhambra In "Tl'
Count," This Is tho old, old Charlie, the
violent, vulgar and wo should like to say
"vunny" Charlie, only tho spell ntf book
won't allow us. He threw pies. Ho picked hla
teeth with his cane. He tried to talK
against the noise of a large man catlnd
soUp. He worked his walk and hla Wink.
Finally, he kicked his fellow players In
that portion of their persons which a news
paper man Isn't supposed to mention. Ahd
ho split as many Bides as Lincoln spilt
rails.
Tho Palace also exhibited "The Strong" "
Love," a Morosco-Paramount film featuring
Vivian Mrirtln.
Tho Victoria had, besides Charlie, ''Hell-to-Pay
Austin," a Fine Arts-Triangle film, .
with Wilfred Lucas and Bessie Love
