i other powers.
Army leaders declare that if the
inited States insists on the exemption
American ships, it is only a question
. i ..,. before Great Britain will send
. and forces down to take the canal.
Ship Exemption Might Bring War.
tVith four naval vessels to one owned
oy the United States government, it Is
pointed out, she could do that handily,
and there would be little appeal, either
through the medium of peace or that of
■■.ar. Which nation will care to tackle
the United States first remains to ho
seen. but it will be the one which is hit
the hardest.
Jealousy of Germany by England, and
ire versa, has heretofore kept America
safe, but the violation of the Hay-
Pauncefote treaty, if exemption of ships
s a violation, likely will bring on war
with the latter country. And America,
so the wise men say, will be caught en
tirely unprepared.
Plausible congressmen declare that
hould England and the United States
go to war, the latter country would
ike Canada and also resist success
fully any invading force, but those who
look gravely at the situation point to
imilar declarations and the actual per
formances in the war of 1812, when
imerican soldiers were easily turned
"tick from the Canadian border and
Ungland was only bested through cir
unistances beyond her control.
Treaty Is Not Clear.
Elthu Root, formerly secretary of
ar, and the present secretary are un
alterably opposed to exemption from
■lls, and In this position they oppose
President Taft, who has fixed tolls for
U classes of ships, excepting American
sei? engaged in coastwise trade.
The Hay-Pauncefote treaty provides,
ong other things, the treatment of all
nations’ ships alike, and the mooted
lestlon is whether •‘all nations” in
ndi-s the United States or means “all
"ther nations.”
This treaty - superseded the Cfayton
'■ulw< i treaty - of the early '3os. The
tier pact, it is said, made ft almost
possible for the United States ever to
■uild and maintain a canal like that
ough Panama.

the company of a member of the large or
ganization. The production defies the or
dinary classification of the theater. It is
not, strictly speaking, opera, musical
comedy, or drama, while partaking of
many of the essential features of all of
them. It was suggested to the author,
the late Walter Browne, by the ancient
morality play, ‘Everyman,” which was
performed throughout America a. few
years ago by a band of English players
i under the leadership of Ben Greet There
. is, however, not the faintest similarity in
treatment, for "Everyman” was gloomy
and morbid, while “Everywoman" is a
delicious satire on the frailties of the fair
sex, carrying with it a message which is
■ universal. The music, which is sym
, phonic in character and is interpreted by
. a special orchestra carried by the com
pany, was composed by George Whlte
. field Chadwick. Dr. Chadwick is the i
composer of several famous symphonies |
which are performed annually by the Bos- i
ton Symphony orchestra and all the ,

FEATURE BILL BOOKED
FOR GRAND THIS WEEK
A big bill of vaudeville is the attrac
tion at the Grand tills week. When the
box office was opened Monday morning
I there was a line waiting for seats, and
, the advance sale covered every perform- j
ance.
There is a great deal about the show to •
j bring about such a condition. There are
r acts of quality, headliners and features of
unusual prominence and some of the most
j distinguished of modern Keith specialties,
, that will contribute to the entertaining.
Principal among the headliners will be
Jesse Lasky's “the Antique Giri.” with
Eugene MacGreager, D«fis Wilson and
I Mae Busch, and a dozen other important I
entertainers. The act is conceded to Tie
the best musical comedy In vaudeville. It
is the sort of act that is retained usu
ally for a run In a vaudeville theater, but
it has been routed to play just ten weeks
outside of the big cities, and Atlanta was
’ assigned one of the weeks.
Another feature will be John K. Mur
i ray and Clara Lune, who with the assist- |
t ance of another, will offer a singing nov- |
elty that is away from anydiing in vaude
t villa. The Venetian Four, vaudfcville'c
' best musical quartet: the Four Flori-
monds ifi an aerial novelty; Alf Grant and i
Ethel Hoag, in a vaudeville comedy, and'
Gere and Delany, roller skaters, and Frank
‘Mullance. a character comedian, make up
the other numbers of the program, lintd
recently there have been hundreds of
• theater-goers who had nearly forgotten
' the existence of the Grand, but in fifteen
weeks vaudeville has brought the theater I
back and theater-goers have learned that |
it is necessary to secure seats in advance.

JIOB DENTISTS
Df $750 TILLINGS
Fourteen Offices in the Atlanta
National Bank Building Are
Looted in One Night.
fourteen dentists In the Atlanta Na
tional Bank building went to work to
day minus $750 worth of gold and
platinuTn fillings and other gold equip
ment. Thieves, witli a master key to
the building, raided the offices some
time Saturday - night.
Three years ago the same building
was rifled in a similar manner, the
dentists being robbed of gold plate and
fillings.
This time, as before, the dentists are
I the sole losers. The “job” was the work
|of experts. Their presence in the build
! ing was not known to the night watch
; man. It is sure, however, that the
j thieves had possession of a single mas-
I ter key to the building, or duplicate
keys for each office.
Dr. B. C. Williamson, of room 614,
was the tirst. dentist to discover that
his office had been rifled. He passed
the news around, and soon it was found
that thirteen others had suffered simi
lar losses.
Gold plates and fillings were the loot
of the robbers, but in several instances
jewelry also was taken.
Dr. S. L. Silverman, of room 701. was
the heaviest loser. Jewelry - and gold to
tlie value of more than S2OO were taken
from a desk prted open with a Jimmy.
A watch, several rings, two bracelets, a
silver mesh bag and a vanity box were

W. D. Manley Says Morgan
Was Right. “Money Trust Is
Impossible.”
- -f
“All great individual fortunes now In
existence will disintegrate within the
next 60 or 70 years,” declared W. D.
Manley, of Atlanta, today, in an Inter
view given The New York Herald on
the Morgan testimony before the Pujo
committee of congress.
Mr. Manley, president of the Bankers
Trust Company of Atlanta, gave the In
terview in response to a telegram from
The Herald, and declared that J. Pier
pont Morgan was right in testifying
that there could be no money trust. His
statement follows:
“Mr. Morgan, like all great men, haa
testified frankly and plainly. His con
structive forces have been helpful to
this country. There can be no inoney
trust as long as bank deposits are sub
ject to check. There can be no credit
trust, as you can not separate a good
man from his welF earned credit. Co
operative banking is stronger than in
dependent institutions of non-collat
era] support, and does not destroy com
petition. Mr. Morgan is not a wrucke; - ,
he does not destroy. Public sentiment,
followed by even revolution, would pre
vent any one man or his cohorts from
continuously - exploiting the public.
“AH great individual fortunes now
held will disintegrate within the next
60 to 75 years.”
