Brady Pleases Crowd in Sing Sing. $100 FOR BEST CRITICISM Prisoners Are Allowed to Mingle and Discuss Play With Each Other. Sy Leaseq Wire From the New York Bureau ef the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dec,-2%.—Whatever may become of a certain four-act melodrama called “‘Sinners’—written by Owen Davis and soon to be performed on Broadway under the direction of Wil- liam A. Brady—it will always hold a unique 1ecord. It had its first presenta- tion, Christmas afternoon and evening, in the chapel of Sing Sing Prison, where It brought laughs, tears and thrills to 1400-odd convicts. The convicts were permitted to mingle freely, to talk unrestrainedly with one another, to cheer, to clap hands and o act with all the liberty that a $2-a-head crowd might have on Broadway. The new Warden, Thomas Mott Os- borne, who is trying to better the lot of the convicts, Was responsib' for the unusual treat. company, including his own daughter, and a complete outfit of scenery up the river. The Golden Rule Brotherhood, an organization of convicts, , founded by Osborne, had charge of the arrange- ments. Sevén hundred men were told shortly after noon that they might go to the chapel for the matinee performance. Special monitors had been appointed by the Brotherhood to maintain order, but their services were necessary only as ushers. Prize for Best Criticism. Warden Osborne announced that a prize of $100 would be given to the man who wrote the best criticism of the piece, and nine out of every ten in the audience were equipped with pencil and paper for the making of notes. “Sinners” has to do with the white lights of Broadway, the erring of meu and women and their reformation and achievement of happiness in the coun- try. Its story appealed particularly i2 the men in prison. At first the prisoners seemed to hesi- tate about expressing their satisfaction The long rule of compulsory silence was hard to break. But when they realizeé that they were permitted to applaud as much as they wanted and to discuss the drama between the acts, they cut loose and gave the actors and actresses ap- plause that probably never will be ex- ceeded in the public life of the play. After a five-minute burst of applause, following the happy ending, Brady ap- peared upon the stage in response te calls from the audience. He made a short speech in which he said he hoped the troubles of the prisoners, like the difficulties of the characters in the play, would, “like dark clouds some day be dispelled and that everything will come out ‘all right.“ Author Witnesses Play. The evgning performance was a repeti- tion of the afternoon’s success. The re- maining half of the prisoners formed th. audience and again there were speeches and cheers. Among those who witnesse:] the play were Owen Davis, the author. and Mrs. Davis; Richard Harding Davis and Romeyn Taylor, editor of the Sur- yey. Every masculine prisoner got a half- pound box of candy and a box of ciga- rettes, with the best wishes of Ton Brown —the name Osborne adopted when he voluntarily spent a term of imprisonment at Auburn to study condi tions.

In this effort cablegrams of Christmas greeting were addressed to the rulers of Great Britain and Ire— land, France, Belgium, Japan, Russia, Germany and Austria-Hungary. From each of these, except Russia —whose Christmas under the Julian calendar comes 12 days later—a reply was received. The telegrams were non-politicr] in nature. The wishes expressed were predicated upon no beliefs in the guilt or innocence of the countries in bringing about the war. They were intended to bring out offi- cially the thought deep in every man’s mind concerning the awful curse the war has put upon the world and to record the desire of the stricken lands for the return of peace. The fact that each belligerent, ex- cepting Russia, replied with thanks for the greeting, and in most cases, gave expression of regret for the present and hope for the future, showed the World’s object to have been attained. In its dispatches to the heads of the various governments, the World “begged to offer Christmas greet- ings and to express the hope that peace soon may end the havoc of war.” In that spirit the World asks a Christmas message, not only to the American people, but to all humanity, that will show your own and your country’s desire for the return of good will among men.” In the replies from several of the nations there is to be seen an effort to disavow responsibility for the war, which is in itself a hopeful sign, for none can desire to prolong a condition, from which all agree no blame and no praise can conie.

For 44 years Germany preserved the peace of that part of Europe’ where her influence was para- mount, and at this holy season it is fitting to say that her sons and daughters look forward to an end to this havoc—to a peace with honor, so that the world may continue to progress to a higher civilization and the fuller brotherhood of man, to- ward which Germany ever is given and will con- tinue to give her best efforts and greatest thoughts.

The United States has nearly 2,000,000 landless farmers, of whom fully 760,000 are as hopelessly incapable of helping themselves to get farms, by the means the Secretary suggests, as he is of lifting Wimself by his bootstraps. If the task of repatriating them is not a proper one for the Fed- ij eral Government, the states must undertake it, or jwitness the continuing rapid development of a | homeless American peasantry. The beginning of wisdom in the consideration of this country’s land problem is recognition of the fact that while there is plenty of low-priced land—low-priced because of the obstacles it offers to profitable cultivation—there is no longer any cheap land. * 8 * A BAROMETER OF BUSS. the outlook for larger public and quasi-public con- istruction work, on the authority of the St. Louis Lumberman. New undertakings in this particu- lar line of investment have been hindered during ithe greater part of the past six years. Says the Lumberman: Under such at least fairly favoring condi- tions—if we are permitted to see arighi—the prospects become quite definite for a sub- { stanial increase in municipal and public utili- ties construction werk, to say nothing of what advanced freight rates may do in behalf of railway equipment and improvements. Inter- est rates have been declining quite rapidly in the past ninety days, as a result of the large surplus of money now seeking investment, and this hag caused cities and quasi-public corporations to revive projects which have been shelved for varyingly long periods of time. For illustration: According to an inter- view with Travis H. Whitney, secretary of the Public Service Commission of the First Dis- trict of New York, published in the Pittsburg Dispatch of recent issue, that municipality and thé private companies which hold its tran- sit franchises have yet to expend about two- thirds of a total of $350,000,000, in great part for enlargement of transit facilities. Senator William Flinn is the head of the company whose contracts aggregate more than $17,000,- 0 “Our estimate,” said Mr. Whitney, “is that we shall need not less than 800,000 tons of steel and steel products for the prosecution of our work in 1915, and from what we have seen since we came to Pittsburg we are large- ly of the opinion that the major part of this steel and this steel fabriaation will come from Pittsburg mills.” Numerous examples indicate the revival of_in- terest in new construction work. The railroads are showing signs of life. Cities are planning works, such as Minneapolis“ $12,000,000 Union Station, and many new undertakings in bridges, viaducts and additions to terminal trackage are eited. There is no better barometer of business than construction work. It stops when times are bad; it moves as soon as recuperation begins, = = = ** SAFETY FIRST AND MILEAGE GEAFT. “The late Judge Culbertson used boldly to de- fend the $0-cent mileage graft of Congressmen. “Though it doesn’t cost that much,” he said, “the risks of travel are worth it.“ Without having} the courage to defend it Congressmen nowadays vote to perpetuate it on the sole ground that they need the money. Risks of travel have greatly declined since the Judge's time. Five cents a mile synchronizes in much better than 20 cents a mile with an age of safety first triumphs. oe 0 g * „ Prof. Edward Bemis, who, with 90 assistants, has been engaged for six months in preparing an appraisal of the property of the Detroit United Railway preliminary to municipal ownership, has submitted a report in grand totals, reserving the itemized appraisal for @ later, more voluminous, lends of former 5-cent lines, an advance, unofficial lestimate places a value of $2,000,000. that system @ farmer who owns.land or other tan- eie bank security can get credit long enough to tor the landless farmer, who wants credit long lleng ago set wits to moving, and now humor sal- i been devised by a sophisticated business man: The Secretary's plan might work well in a com- people, paid out over $600,000,000 buying great es- One of the encouraging signs of the times is — Te me miles of 3-cent lines on 3 streets that have 10 years yet to run and for a few outlying street In other: words, the mere privilege of carrying passengers at 3 cents on the subsidiary trac- ‘tion mileage of the city is, plus some negligible odds and ends in other privileges, valued at $200,- 000 a ngs le — i BUSINESS UNDER DIFFICULTIES. Is business over-regulated? Its harassments lies forth to its rescue. The following form has Business Letter Writer for 1916. To Gentlemen: Referring to your letter (see Postal Regu- lation p. 126, 11, 44) of the 28th, we a corpofa- tion organized under the laws of Indiana, cer- tificate filed in the office of the Secretary of State ot Indiana, Indianapolis, beg to advise you that we can quote the price of $20 (see United States revised statutes, laws of 1914, gec. 18) per ton, carload lots (see interstate commerce ruling 256, see also dicta of 128 U.

This quotation is special to you (see ruling of department of justice in the matter of Brown Milling Co.) and is made subject to our right to claim immun- ity (see N. T. Penal Code, pp. 48). Ii you receive a better quotation from any other of our competitors you will, of course, advise us under the authority of the U. S8. Revised Stat- utes, pp. 2347, sub. 2.

That the Doe Manufac- turing Co. has never had its charter for- feited, nor has deponent ever been indicted by either State or Federal grand jury. P. P. WHITE, Notary Public. The foregoing is recommended to all of the Washington authorities. A little nonsense now and then should be relished by the President and Congress and even the Supreme Court. >= = * EXAMPLES, Charles M. Schwab’s conduct in the case of his submarine contracts with certain European Gov- ernments~shines in some contrasts that might be made. Before beginning work on them he consulted the Washington Government and was informed that the laws of neutrality as estab- lished In our own Alabama case with Great Brit- ain would forbid a delivery of the boats in whole or in sections. He thereupon proceeded to have the contracts canceled at great loss to his busi- ness, and he does so without trying to dispute the soundness of the Government’s position. It is not the men whose pockets are most af- fected who are found among the assailants of the Administration’s neutrality policy. Not the Morgan bankers when they were urged from Washington away from a course of financing any of the belligerent Powers; not ‘the steel men in this later case. These men have been giving an example of higher interests in this crisis which is to be com- mended to politician’s seeking a political advan- tage at the cost of embroiling the nation, and to hyphenated Americans“ who would sacrifice its peace to their own alien hates and attachments. = | -— 0 GEN. FABER’S NEW ARM. While few details are given, the report that the uninjured arm of a dying soldier was grafted onto che stump of a French officer whose arm had been shot off in Belgium seéms fairly well au- thenticated. At least the name of the surgeon who performed the daring experiment and of the officer who was the beneficiary of his skill is given. The one was Dr. Alexis Carrel of the Carnegie Institute, who may be looked on as capable of such a feat if any surgeon is. The other was Gen. Trumelet Faber. Fabricators would hardly dare to trifle with such names. ; The science of health and healing owes a great deal to the world’s wars. Doubtless the experi- ences of Machaon and Podalirius—the names are unfamiliar even to many classical scholars, but they were army surgeons during the siege of cine and surgery of Greece. During the inter- minable European wars of two or three centuries ago physicians learned that life was to be saved by dressing the stumps of amputated limbs with boiling tar, a crude and agonizingly painful treat- ment, but one with a basis in true science, for it killed malign germs. In our own Civil War individual surgeons ac- quired a technique from which a generation of Americans “have profited in time of peace. In our Spanish War we subdued not only Weylerism but yellow fever, and conquered the tropics for Northern races, and in the Russo-Jap war, while the success of the Mikado’s medical corps was exaggerated, permanent triumphs were won for preventive medicine and sanitation. During the Balkan War we heard fantastic 11 of doctors who rounded up in fashionable cap- itals gentlemen suffering from Bright's disease and took them to the scene of the fighting to be supplied with sets of kidneys taken from newly killed soldiers, but confirmation was lacking when peace came. The present war broke out just when surgical science seemed on the eve of greater triumphs than were ever before known. The ex- periments of Dr. Carrel and others in preserving and t ting living human tissues. startled the wor War's opportunities for testing the validity and of the reputed new discoveries are of the fighting on an unprecedented that for the prolongation of life out and infirm bodies may be al- 415 ii routed Gen.

Written for the POST-DISPATCH | by Clark McAdams CONCERNING BUSINESS. III. UR Mr. Schwab, whom fortune has esteemed, Says business shortly will be very fine; The needs of Europe are to be redeemed In untold millions here, by every sign. Our James J. Hill, you may be well assured, Is all that gloom has ever been and thinks The worst is coming and to be endured, At which hope raised by Schwab blows up and sinks. ONCERNING business, it is hard to sav— There is no science of it, so it seems, Nor any savant in it sage and gray Whose foresight business as a whole esteems.

A third group has it that before we made The war or tariff there were matters ill And economic in the world of trade, Which was not doing well, say what you will. IV, ONCERNING business, it is therefore hard To make predictions, since we do not know The source of business, nor what evil-starred Or good adventure it must undergo. There is no science of it, as we said, Nor any almanac to light the way; It is a mystic thing now live, now dead— But why no one whom we believe can say. 4 Eleven of the jurors had filed out of the box. The one who remained wore an expression of extreme per- plexity.

Her stepmother wondered how one piece of gold could purchase so much, and Hester told her about the fairy god- mother. 9 > The next day Jane returned from the city without the silk gown, “My gold was stolen from me, and I am tired and hungry," she told them. 1 ou do. not deserve to ba said her mother; “you were but if you are willing to do ya) of the work and help Hester, ¥ willing, you may stay.” (7 Hester was quite willing to have Jans, and Jane was so ashamed of the wa she had behaved in the stg that did more than her share. of and showed in many ways she had 1 — — — tion, or was it merely the ravings of a maniac? “A wholesome tale to go to bed on, eh, Mr. Hope?

When I was alone in the room where I was to spend the night I decided that the wine which Parton had drunk was responsible for the horrible story to which I had listened. Next morning, while I was dispatch- ing an early breakfast, Negro Joe and Parton carried out a cask of wine, | which they placed in my wagon.

Jack was the strong one, I was the weak. My love for Jack at this time was intense. It had grown by repression. I was his woman, he was my man. They had no right to take him from me. For a few precious moments we were left alone, Jack's cheerful words and brave smile at last brought me to a sense of my weakness, and I regained my composure, After a little Mr. Flam and ‘the lawyer came in, and Jack was taken away. To the Tombs, later to be taken to a prison some distance from New York. I would be able to see him occasion- ally, although Mr. Flam discouraged me as to the feasibility of doing so. Cne thing I recall Jack said to me as I left him, A happier time is coming, Sue; hap- pier than we have ever known. For now we understand each other and know “each other’s weaknesses, and our love is strong in spite of that knowl- |. edge. You have been so brave al along, dear! You will be brave now.

So soon?’’’ “Yes, dear. I did not do it now, at once, I might lose the strength to do it at all,” he replied firmly, but grew white, and the arms, still holding me, trembled. Oh, the temptation that came to me then to urge him to fly again! To go away and let me join him after a little! How could I bear to lose him now tha I had found him, hd felt his arms around me once more, his kisses on my lips? I could not. I WOULD NOT let him give himself up to imprisonment. This was what I thought, as he strained me to his breast; but what I said was: "Go, dear, if you think it best. But I am going with you, to stay with you until we know the best—or the worst.“ “But, Sue!“ — „ell be brave, Jack darling, bat I must be with you every minute, now.

When she entered the lion’s cage as the Maid- en Martyr, the lions got one look at her and, giving an awful cry, they burst in terror from the scene! There stood poor Clara on the stage, not knowing what to do or say”’—here Mrs. Beagle broke from the titter with which she had been telling the story into uncontrolled laugh- ter that—-Ha! Ha!-—I felt so sorry for her—Ha! Ha! Hah!—that I pitied her from the bottom of my heart—Ha! Ha! Poor dear, I could realize her humilia- tion and chagrin—Ha! Hal-and my sympathy went out for her—Ha! Ha! | ; . ote Stryver, who had been to re- ‘ n : Copyright. 1914, Press Pubitshing Co.\ 9 hearsals of the play, felt so sure-Clara Mudridge-Smith would be a success that she had stayed away the night of the opening—and fiasco. She also had hard workin keeping back her own tears of sympathy. But it was in pity for herself in hav- ing missed seeing the ridiculous disaster that oyertook her friend’s vain ambi- tions. : „Poor Clara!“ echoed Mrs. Stryver. “I’m so sorry for her too!“ And to show the profound: depths of her sympathetic grief she laughed with, Mrs. Beagle till her sides ached. Even Mrs. Jarr, in discussing it with her hus- band, admitted that it was all for the best.“ This comforting bit of philoso- phy consoles many of us when our friends meet with disaster. Meanwhile, in the palatial offices of The Sam Slanger Theatrical Corpora- tion an inquest was being held on the play that had died so suddenly. “What became of them lions that beat] ii when they got a flash of the map of ihe dame?” asked the great theatrical magnate. , a “They were chased by the stage car- penter’s fox terrier and cornered in the prop room,“ someone explained. I got the dog off em before he hurt em.“ “That electricity they shot into them at rehearsal put a little too much pep in the old rabbits,"’ Mr. Slanger opined. “That electricity shock ought never been rehearsed so much. The lions thought the dame did it, but the adience thought it was a peek at the dame's map. That ain’t right. She’s a doll, all right.“ Business oF Su STARTLING.

He was finally given a job as an inspector in the street department. “Just think what I've come to,” Hank said in the presence of the Mayor. “Here I’ve served the party for 30 years. I have spent my money, I have worked to keep the party alive when it hardly had a breath of life teft, and the only job I can get—now that I am an old man, bent with the weight of party cares—the only job I can get is one where I've got to walk—walk, walk, walk all the time. That’s pretty rough on Hank.” The next morning when Hank“ reported for work he was given one of the street department automobiles. As he was leaving the City Hall to go to his district, he met Mayo? Kiel in his machine on his way to his office. 6 “Just my luck,” Hank exclaimed. After all my complaint about having to walk, here the Mayor catches me going to work in my automobile. Now, he won't have a bit of sympathy for me. Surely, is is a cold and cruel world.” ‘yTrYrTrTrTer,jttgfreTtkg TTT} tw" > before a justice.
