Of Miss O'Neil one is tired of saying— yet the programme has been thus deftly anged—that the actress excels all her previous efforts in the last. Yet that is ! much wbat one must say of her Hedda Gabler. Above all, she succeeds—where Blanche Bates from her brilliantly whole- some personali rather ifalled—in ex- ssing the essential mephitic sugges- of the character, its rank morbid- its steely selfishness. The thing got | into one’s very marrow and the house was one shuddering nerve when she hiss- ed, “I've burned her child!” as she stuffs Lonborg's manuscript into the flames Even the dangerous Do it beautifully? —when Hedda hands the pistol to Lon. borg—was carried off by Miss O'Neil's tremendous earnestness, with other lnes | that the actor dreads with equal reason. It is altogether a conception of command- | ing intelligence, entirely consistent, con- | vineing and powerful. Tesman, the kind, commonplace hus- | band, is very agreeably played by Her- bert Carr. He plays the part simply, straightly and without any arc lights on [ his points. He is peculiarly well suited | to™f physically.

ENTERS INTO THE PROBLEM Church’s Int?uence in Politics Discussed by Senators.. First Presidency’s Shadow Extends Over Proposed New States. Quay Not ‘‘Prepared or Authorized” | to Accept Amendment to the Statehood Bill Embodying Edmunds Law. WASHINGTON, Feb. cussion of the statehood bill in the Senate to-day turned on the question of polygamy. A snators who heretofore have t in the on. Gall number of £ taken no pa in the discus: er. replying to some statements made by McComas, sald , that he was in favor of an amendment to the statehood bill covering the of polygamy as strongly and firmly as possible. The alleged influence of the Mor- mon church over politics caused a sharp characteriz valuable and aue ing, startling, be- cause 1t had disclosed a powerful religicus organization xerting itself as a domi force . potent which taken into account in future legislation. At the outset Dubois declared that polygamist could eccupy any high political place without the consent of the first presidency of the Mormon church. The same influence, he said, was exercised in New Mexico and Arizona. He sald that Idaho could control the Mormon people whenever it so desired. If the Mor- mon peoy should openly through their first presidency interfere in the politics of Idaho, he would guarantee to take the stump and disfranchise every Mormon in one campalgn. Hale replied that the matter was a dark element that could not be penetrated by the light that usually illuminates and en- lightens communities generally in the | States. N Teller said that the Mormon church is | all-powerful, and that whenever it spoke through its first presid, the great body of the church responded to the demand that was made. STILL IMPORTANT FACTOR. Rawlins of Utah spoke of the proclama- tion of the head of the Mormon chureh in Utah in 18 declaring that there should be a cessation of polygamy and that the Mormon church should be taken out of politics and th Mormons were free to express their political prefe Thereupon, he said, the admission of Utah as ¢ »pposition to tate was re- moved. He declared, however, that the Mormon church . influence in politics in | tah still Is an important factor. Spooner inquired if it was true that the first presidency could dictate whether or not a Mormon should hoid a public politi- cal office. Dubols answered the question by stating that no Mormon would run for a high political office without the consent of the first presidency. Rawlins said that when the approval is given the man goes forth with the bene- diction of the church. “While the other man,” interjected Hale, ‘rests ‘under the frown of the church Rawlins, replying to Hale, said he did not know that this was the case with any other church. Answering Spooner, Raw- lins said he did not care to enter upon the question as to whether the full scope of the power of the Mormon church over came to the knowledge of the public. Rawlins declared that there was a large element which would overthrow the church dictation in the affairs of the State because it was obnoxious to them. The disposition to do.this, he said, is growing and in Utah conditions were improving, ~ Replying to McComas, Rawlins admitted that a majority of the Legislature are members of the Mormon church, al- though, he said, they have not discrimin- inst non-Mormons on religious grounds. CONTRARY TO INSTITUTIONS. Hale remarked that the debate had been interesting, valuable and startling. [t had disclosed. he said, a powerful religious organization exerting itself as a dominant potential force over the mind and action “It is the power to bind and loos he said. “If there is any- thing in the spirit of the American insti- tutions, it i he continued, *“‘that it :s never permissible on the part of the a thoritles of religious organizations to ex- ercise control in temporal matters over its followers and to influence elections. This day has not been ill-spent in bring- ivg out conditions that obtain where the Mormon church has secured its lodg ment.”" Patterson of Colorado said the chief de- sire of the Mormons is to remain in favor with the party in power. He declared that if any sect were large enough and strong enough to hecome a factor in the political life of the country that church would pursue the same course as the Mormon church. McComas cited the law ‘making Utah a State and said that if the Mormons “could be rid of this dark shadow they would reap the rewards of their toil and of their trials. The abolition of polygamy and the domination of a secret hierarchy would meet with applause and approyal of our people.’ Quay said he “was Dot just now pre- pared or authorized” to accept an amend- mentto the bill rmbodying the Edmunds law and applying it to Arizona and New Mexfeo. The best way to settle that duestion, he said, was to fix a day for a vote on the bill. s McComas, continuing. characterized the rohibition of poiygamy as contained in the Utah enabling act as an impotent ‘Hietense ‘of restriction without any legal efficacy. He hoped Congress wonld not vass such a bill and thus be recreant to | the moral sentiment of our country and mrankind.

Tpon the report to the police of G Saito, the Japanese who was held up and robbed early yesterday morning on | Sacramiento street, near Hyde, Policemen | | Connor and Larkin were detailed on the | | cuse. Upon arriving at Bush and Leaven- | worth streets they saw two men cross Bush street. The men were walking fast and the officers hurried after them. When the men saw the officers they started to run. Officer Larkin caught one, who gave his name as Bruno Lewandoski and Connor soon captured the other, who gave his name as Thomas Larkin. Lewandoski had a loaded revolver in his pocket and a gold watch. The sus. pects were taken to the City Prison and held for investigation. Later Connor and Larkin took Saito to the property clerk's office and he correctly identified the watch taken from Lewandoski as the one stolen from him. F. Y. Masiu, a jeweler of 5% Pine street, also positively identi- fied the wateh as one he had sold to Sai o about three months ago.

Says Women Suffer From Want to Pay Social Obligations. BERKELEY, Feb. 5.—The University of California folk are greatly exercised over | two articles which appeared in recent is- sues of The Nation an Eastern maga- zine, in which Berkeley students receive | about as severe a criticism as ever ai- lotted to any of their kind. Their social life, and particularly the life the college women lead in their fraternities, is con- demned in no weaker terms than, “Oh, the stupidity and silliness of it all!” And what has particularly roused the ire of the collegians is that the ‘scholarly arti- cles are from the pen of a fellow stu- dent. A struggle for social suprem: teas with borrowed gs exist, says the writer of these two articles, . soror- mentally, morally and otherwise. The students who are now so mu up in} arms against the writer will be some- what aghast when discover that two University of Californla professors, to whom the articles were submitted before they were ““true, but unpopular; very true, but very unpopular.” And the students will be still further surprised when they find that the writer. Miss Elizabeth Knight Tomp- kins. is the daughter of the late Edward one of the early Regents of and the founder of |the Agassiz professorship of Oriental [an- guages at California: niece of one of the first Regents and former Governor Henry | Haight, a sister of Juliet Wilbor Tomp- kins, the magazine writer, and above all | a careful. sympathetic student of soclal problems among coiicgians. Besides Miss Tompkins is not urknown to the large publishers. ‘She is the author of many short storfes and several books. Miss Tompkins is a California girl, but received her education at Vassar College, from which she was graduated in 1589 with the degree of A. B. She has been taking a course In the college of letters at Berkeley until recentiy, when she went to Santa Barbara for her health. Her life have called forth the ciiticism of two of the college editors. The Californian to-day says that “no criticism should be made of our m»i is re- stitution, especially one who ceiving the benefit of its instruction, un- less the fault finding springs from a sin- | cere desire to improve the existing con- ditions.” The editor of the Occident in to-morrow’s issue wiil also condemn the stand Miss Tompkins has taken. In to- s Californian one of the students has communication calling the writer to ac- | count. Miss Tompkins has written her article | under the title of “Observations in a Big Her mother, Mrs. Tompkins, | University.” to-day stated that it was written after careful study of the conditions existing among the women students, and especiai- 1y their fraternities. The writer makes no comment on the men. The article was professors, who both declared that it was true and that the ‘“social obligations” were great detriments to the students in their stu- die: Under the name of ‘“Agatha,” Miss Tompkins describes her own feelings and observations concerning _fraternity life among the women at Berkeley. Some of { the principal points in her article are as | follows: In the first place, she groaned in spirit over the waste of time and energy for which faise ideas of socia! duties were responsible. Nome independence, but played “‘follow-the-leader’” in stupid fashion. If the Beta Gammas or the Upsilon Alphas en- tertained a visiting celebrity, the Iota Sigmas did the same. Agatha often heard the girls in the fraternity she knew best lamenting the necessity of so much entertaining, but they had not strength of mind enough to accept her suggestion that the necessity was a_deiusion, the result of an inability to think for the: sel Their crowning argument that they had been Invited to more parties than they had given. Consequently, for at least twu days, study was entirely suspended. The day of the reception the girls spent run- ring about to their friends, borrowing glass, china, silver, linen, screems, lamps, tables, chairs, rugs, portieres and other articles. They altered, laundered _or even made the gowns they were to wea® By the time the guests arrived they were tired o a few hours’ sleep they woke the ne to a topsy-turvy house and a whole da the superficial putting of things in order. the stupidity and silliness of it all!

One girl spent a whole day making din- for a dinner they gave. At first Ag. tha was filled so full of righteous indigna. tion that she would go out of her way to avold meeting the various members: but soon she found herself pitying their ignorant waste of oppertunities and misjudgment of values. And yet she grew indignant again at times, especially when a certain fraternity mave par- ties, knowing as she d firc, even on t! Idest day. but studied bud- dled up in wraps. Tn the name of the whole university she resented the gowns that had taken three or four davs to make. A peor girl in college has no righ o It is a sin against fne university, it is a sin against every tax- paver in the State, it is & sin Against her in- structors and her classmates; it is, above all, a sin against herself. Besides her moral sense, Agatha's taste was offanded by their parties. They were not gen- they were cheap imitations of more ex- entertainments. The guests were of- atery lemonade. d fcecream, doctored coffee, and salad made of inferior materiale. This imitation of the standards of people whose means and oppor tunities were above their reach was to Agatha one of the greatest ovils in fraternity life. The standards they set up were not the stand- arde of the girls’ own ; they were not the standard of simple Western life. There was the matter of chaperoning. The | chapercne of one of the fraternities told Agatha that when roung men were calling she sat either In the reom or in the next room. The girls In co-educational universities, and espe- cially the girls in fraternities, are so open to criticism that it js well to make sure that there is as little to criticize as possible. Agatha regratted this necessity so greatly that she isid It up against fraternity life. Each of these girls weuld go home with a chaperone fa, which is the exaggeration of the chaper- one need. in her head; she would instill it into her vounger sisters, into her own children. thus doing her part for diminishing the glorious freedom of the American.girl—a freedom so little abused as to be the marvel of the rest of the world. > Licensed to Marry.

An air of mystery surrounds the cor- | porate existence of the new company and the intentions of the men behind the or- ganization are carefully veiled, even to the extent of trying to prevail upen the | County Clerk's office to keep secret va- rious papers which of necessity had to be { filed in this county.
