tent As a result of your action hewrites the family had to get milkwhich was not such as my patient hadb n receiving and which made herwry III for several hours I did notknow that there was any statute givingyou power to stop my patients foodsupply

According to information received bytic doctor the dairyman was orderednt to deliver milk to the house inquestion unless he found at the door atin bucket to be used as receptacle-

Dr W C Fowler inspector in charge01 the contagious disease service toWhom the complaint was referred statesthat the milkman was requested to dis-continue the use of bottles in the setvi v of the premises referred to as Itwas evident that it might be the meansof exposing milk supply to infectionfiJ thus spreading the disease It Isthe practice of the health

he to man a similar notice to alldairymen who are known to be deltverrig milk in bottles to premises wheretyphoid fever exists

As to the nature of the receptacleslie states so long as it to not deliveredin the milkmans bottles such mat-ters are left by the department for ad-justment between the householder andthe purveyor

ference in Chicago to which the govgrnors of States and mayors of cities hadbeen invited to send delegates the ob-

ject and purposes of the conferencebeing to discuss the trusts and combina-tions that It was a matter of commonknowledge that the deHberattons of titleconference would be a potent factor Indetermining whether the unionswere Weal uneconomical and unlawfuland that the District Commissionersknowing such to be the case had

a committee of fifteen or twentyas representing the sentiments of Washhtjrtoo

This delegation It is set forth is cornposed of bankers lawyers and capitaltota thereby contemptuously ignoringthe rights of organised labor to be repre-sented in the dfleg ukm at a mteting hav-ing to do with their welfare The tradesunions the resolution concluded lookedwith contempt upon this deliberate thrustat them by the Commissioners the Dis-

trict of ColumbiaThe resolution was passed with acclaimGrand President McNulty of the elec-

trical workers and General SecretaryTreasurer Lee Hart of the TheatricalStage Employes Union addressed themeeting on general labor topics Theyare in this city at the Instance of Presi-dent Gompers of the A F of L in aaendeavor to settle the dispute between thetwo OrganizatiOns over the jurisdiction ofthe moving picture show employee Aconference was held at the Federationheadquarters in Typographical Templeyesterday afternoon

ternational convention of the AmericanFederation of Labor to be held at theJamestown Exposition At S oclock Mon-day night the regular meeting will beinterrupted for purpose

Theaters Filled Last NightClever Comedy Attracts Peo

ple to the Columbia

BELASCO OPENING POSTPONED

Wcbern Scenery Did Arrive inTune So Show Opens TonightJack Ilurrymore Makes u SpeechCohuiiM Xew Show Fiftyfrom BoMtou Proves Dig Success

A clever arid attractive comedy is TheBoys of Company B presented at theColumbia Theater last night Uy Mr JohnBarrymore the youngest of the talentedBarrymere family and promising tobe attractive to the ladies inhe audience as his sister lEthal

to men hi hoc audiences andan excellent supporting company Thepiece te by Miss RH Johnson Youngwell known as the author of Brown ofHarvard It was put on first in NewYork last autumn at the Hudson

with Mr Arnold Daly in the prin-cipal part but it was not psychologicalenough for Daly and he got peevish andputted out

The Boys of Company B is a comedyof National Guard that is theyoung fellows in the piece are all mem-bers of the National Guard which givesopportunity for a more or lees accuratepicture of fee young fellows in camp andhi society The plot is not wildly excit-ing though the story Is plain and fairlyconsistent Tony Allen captain of Com-

pany B is in love with pretty EileenMacLane very well played by Miss Jose-phine Drake Unfortunately Tony Jack

hi Tony no one is ever goingto realty call him John in spite of hispress agent has no mosey and te de-

pendent on his uncle C Holbrook Altona Site lowcomedy part played with suchskill as only Mr Veroer Ctarges canaJTord

Maj and Mrs MacLnne are poor andthough MaJ MacLane is favorable toTones suit Mrs MacLane b anxiousthat Eileen shall marry Arthur Stabler

of the millionaire Henry StablerMrs MacLane hat secured a promisefrom Tony that be will not make love toEileen for two years and the two yearsare up on the day the play opens Everthen Mrs MacLane begs Tony to giveup his Idea of marrying Eileen tellinghim that she knows what poverty isthat money is the only thing that countsand that she wants Eileen to marryriches The truth of the matter te thatshe Is heavily indebted to Henry Stablefor money and he holds her notesmanages to get Mrs MacLaneto agreethat It his uncle win settle JBMW on himshe will not oppose the match and Tonybeing hard put to it to Eileenand te accepted over a spAktag tube

The second act shows the boys ofCompany B in camp The ladles come-down to vteit them Tony has Inveigledhis old uncle to enlist telling him theexercise will do him good and as he te-

a captain sad his uncle te a private bemakes the old mans life a burden put-ting him at digging trenches washingdishes and so on und his uncle to getreleased agrees to settle the HMN onTony Unfortunately there conies anotherpretty lisping girl to the camp andTony flirts with her a little and kissesher so that Eileen sees it Shethis but shortly after one ofsoldiers also in love with the girt Tonyhas kissed wants to write her a letterHe has a sprained wrist and gets Tonyto write for him The letter falls intoEileens hands and in her pique at whatshe considers Tonys falseness she ac-cepts the band of Stabler

The last act straightens out the com-plications In a Satisfactory way At thevery last minute when Stabler has beengot out of the way and the business ofthe love letter has not been explainedthe girl who lisps and her soldier loverwho also lisps rush hi and make alisping explanation It b quite satis-factory to Eileen but the lisping lovershang on In the room Tony looks atthem aching to get rid of v them Atlast Vlngttrote be criesauk the bewildered lisping soldierVlngttrols1 repeats Tony Dont

understand twentythree and asteat they comprehend be takes EileenIn his stifle

The comedy te well conceived and te car-ried out admirably It te not a highlyconsequential play and Its construction temighty loose and shaky ht one or twoplaces but its situations are clever andits dialogue Is bright Here are a fewspecimens of the best things that attract the attention of tbe audience

very pleasing throughout and she madean admirable foil for Mr BarrymoreThe part to and makes no greatdemand on her bjit she gave evi-dence that she to capable of handlingbetter and stronger things The Flor-ence Henderson of Mint Marie Mallonwas good and the character part of tilelisping girl Madge Blake played byFlorence Nash was most cleverly sus-tained

perhaps those who expect an-

full of pathos and excitement with anamply sufficient supply of that livelyand catchy sort of music which has al-ways been considered a necessary anddominating adjunct to his productionsHowever this eccentric playwright andmusician may mix things up there Is nodenying his extreme popularity especiallyafter seeing the large and enthusiasticaudience which was present at the Na-tional Theater last night upon the open-ing presentation of Fifty Mites fromBoston

After Mr Cohans efforts the moststriking entertainment was furnished byMis Emma Janvier who appears as MrsTIlford the local gossip and scanJal mon-ger It to a character role which suitsher talent admirably and she takes ad-vantage of all opportunities Her sidetalk to very amusing and her gossipyproclivities make telling anticlimaxes atsome intense periods of the drama whileher topical verses ro her song were pointedand characteristic She does the bestwork In the show
