ERSTWHILE SUSAN
IS IN NEW YORK
Mrs. Martin's New Play Starred
by Mrs. Fiskc, Who Is
Warmly Welcomed
i
Miss Effle Relmensnyder, sister of
Mrs. Frederic C. Martin, came to Riv
erside this morning from New York
with personal accounts of her sister's
play produced at the Gaiety Theater
there last evening for the first time,
with Mrs. Minnie Maddern Fiske star
ring.
i Miss Reimensnyder tells of the
throngs turned away from the the
ater for lack of room, and the happy
welcome accorded Mrs. Fiske who re-
I turns to the stage after an absence of
j three years.
In response lothe insistent demands
for a speech at the close of the second
act Mrs. Fiske raised her hand for sl-
I lencc. "This is all very warming and
beautiful and sweet," she said, "and
1 thank you."
_lt is years and years since Mrs.
I Fiske has had a comedy role which
gave her such an opportunity, ller
Susan is a sudden and Irresistible
creature, better than Mrs. Bumpstead
l.elgh. and never for one Instant does
she allow her characterization to slip
from high comedy Into farce.
; All the New York papers of to-day
publish pleasant criticisms of the play,
adapted by Marian DeForest from
Mrs. Martin's book "Barnabetta," and
all speak of the quaint little comedy
with Its peculiar Pennsylvania types
and setting as a novelty that will at
tract as few plays have done in re
cent years. The last act of the play
has been entirely rewritten since the
tryout here and in Washington, and Is
most satisfactory now to Mrs. Mar
tin.
The New York Times says: "With
the element of novelty thrown in for
good measure, there is some pleasant,
flavorous comedy in the glimpses the
new play gives of life among the
I ennsylvanla. Dutch—those incom
pletely absorbed folk who have fast
ened a tew odd names on the streets
at uertnantown, made chronically pe
culiar the native speech of Philadel
phians, and then retreated, like all lost
causes, to the all-sheltering hills, there
to remain, as so many other colonies
dotting the map of the United States,
rich material tor the teller of tales.
Helen R. Martin, ever since the days of
"Tillie, the Mennonite Maid," has been
industriously turning the Pennsylvania
Dutch into copy, but "Erstwhile Su
san' marks their first appearance on
the stage. Doubtless most of their
elders would be scandalized at the
thought of such goings on."
MYRI, S. MYERS IMPROVED
Myii S. Myers. American consul to

Evetta Jeffers of the Belvedere apart
ments, are registered at the Tladdon

has returned to Easton to resume his

PRESIDENT TO TAKE
HOLD OF DEFENSE FIGHT
[Continued From First Page.]
Washington. A map of the Middle
West was taken into his office and he
worked personally on arranging an
itinerary.
As many speaking engagements as
possible will he crowded into several
short trips because the President is
reluctant to be away from Washington
while Congress is in session.
While he plans to devote his
speeches principally to the adminis
tration army and navy plans, he un
doubtedly will touch on the Mexican
problem.
Ex-Mayor Baker, of Cleveland,
asked the President to-day to include
that city in his itinerary and Senator
Kern invited him to visit Indianapolis.
The White House social calendar
includes the Supreme Court dinner,
February 8; the congressional recep
tion, February 18. and a dinner in
honor of Speaker Clark, February 22.
Some of these affairs may be post
• por.ed to give the President time for
his trips.
The President is said to be undeter
red by the open opposition of the
pacifists, including William J. Bryan,
and differences among advocates of
national defense over the exact plans
to be adopted. He said also to be con
vinced that the preparedness program
is the best which can be offered, at
this time.
Hearings on the administration's
plans for national preparedness were
continued in Congress to-day.
Major General Leonard Wood, for
mer chief of staff of the army and now
commander of the department of the
eaVt appeared before the Senate
Military Committee and was to be fol
lowed by Major General Carter, re
tired.
Brigadier General Scriven, chief
signal officer, continued his testimony
before the House Military Commit
tee.
Brigadier General Weaver, chief of
coast artillery, told the House Com
mittee that while the fixed works
were Intended primarily to defend
cities and anchorages, they also were
the support of the navy, and were
intended to support the mobile army
along the coast line. Guns of large
caliber, he said, would be rushed to
any point to drive off enemy war
ships, protecting landing parties. The
new fortifications planned for Cape
] Henry, Rockaway Beach and San
Francisco, he said, would require an
additional force of fifty companies.
These will be equipped with sixteen
1 inch rifles, but the witness did not go
into details. Every fortification now,
he said, is short one to five com
panies, of the force necessary to man
fifty per cent, of the batteries. Pacific
coast artillery garrisons are kept busy
close to full and men for duty In the
insular possessions are withdrawn
from forts on the Atlantic coast.
Debate on Philippine
Government Continues
Washington, D. C., Jan. 19.—De
bate on the Philippine self govern
ment bill was continued in the Sen
ate to-day.
Senator Clarke's amendment pro
posing the recognition of the inde
pendence of the Philippines within
two years after passage of the act
was up for a vote.
Another amendment prohibiting the
manufacture, importation or sale of
all intoxicating drinks or habit-form
ling drugs in the Islands, excepting na-
I tl.vo beverages, was adopted late yes-
Herday after a spirited debate.

TAXIS MUSTNT
PICK UP FARES
GOING TO GARAGE
Jitney Regulations Exempt
Them Unless They Do
Jitney Business
Taxlcabs whieli "pick up" fares
along the street will be subject to the
same regulations—including fine lia
bilities, bonds, etc., required by the
jitneys under the new ordinance that
is now being enforced by the city au
thorities.
The jitney ordinance excepts "taxis,"
however, which transact business from
a public stand or garage. This is con
strued by the city authorities to mean
that the taxi which goes direct to the
home of the fare, transports him to
his destination, and then returns di
rectly to the garage for further calls
does not come within the provisions
of the jitney regulations.
Sight-seeing cars which are hired
for that purpose only, are exempt also.
The taxi or sight-seeing car driver who
stops enroute to take on passengers,
however, places himself within the
pale of the jitney ordinance require
ments and he makes himself liable to
the penalty for violating the regula
tions.
No Further Action on Jitneys
Despite the appeal of the jitney
drivers yesterday City Council can
make no changes in the jitney ordi
nance. The law, it was pointed out.liad
been given more than ordinary publicity
and the question had been threshed
out for weeks prior to its final adop
tion by Council. Had the jitneurs so
desired they might have organized a
referendum movement but no action
was taken until after the measure
went into effect.
In the course of the argument be
rnent before Council yesterday as to
the amount of bond required. City So
licitor D. S. Seitz called Council's at
tention to the fact that S2OO to $250
is not required for all the bonds. The
'iig item which the surety company
considers when it Axes such a high
rate is the indemnification problem.
If the jitneyman has property or
money to cover the proposed bond, he
may not be required to pay such a
big sum. The surety companies, how
ever, decline to underwrite a bond for
any jitney chauffeur who is without
property or financial backing unless
the sum charged for furnishing the
bond is sufficient to pay for the risk.
Jitney license No. 3 was taken out
to-day by George W. Swope. 1810
Briggs street. His bond for $2,000 was
approved by Daniel S. Seitz, city so
licitor. Swope has been in the jitney
business for five months.
Within the new few days the Meals
ordinance conferring police authority
on chauffeurs, drivers and engineers
in the city fire service will become ef
fective. Council will meet at 10 j
o'clock in the morning hereafter, the j
measure changing the time from 11
o'clock in the afternoon to 10 o'clock j
in the morning having heen passed
finally yesterday.
No Action on Mexican
Intervention at Fletcher
Nomination by Committee
Washington, D. C., Jan. 19.—Heated
discussion over the Mexican situation
featured the first meeting to-day of
the Senate foreign relations commit
tee. which adjourned without taking
action on resolutions providing for in
tervention or sending troops to aid
Carranza in protecting American citi
zens in bandit-infested sections of
Mexico.
