U. S. VALUATION PLAN WILL BE INCLUDED IN NEW TARIFF MEASURE

PAI.I.ADIIM NEWS BVBEAV WASHINGTON. Dec. 13. "Alien the tariff bill is reported to the senate by the senate finance committee it will include the American valuation plan as It was written into the measure by the house of representatives. A statement to that effect has been made by Senator James E. Watson of Indiana, a member of the finance committee. Senator Watson states that the majority of the members of the committee have endorsed the American valuation plan. Senator Watson i3 greatly pleased

with the resolutions endorsing the

American valuation plan he has received from practically all manufac

turers in Richmond, Ind., and from the

employees of three of the largest factories in that city. The senior Indiana penator has been very active in his advocacy of the American valuation plan. He asserts that no adequate protection can be provided for American industries and American working men unless the levying of duties on the American valuation plan i3 provided in the spending tariff measure. Senator Watson has received a flood of letters and telegrams from manufacturers, business men and working men throughout Indiana endorsing his advocacy of the American valuation plan. One telegram, received from a prominent manufacturer, mentions the fact that there are now about three

million men and women out of employ-1 ment in this country and predicts that if the new tariff law does not include the American valuation plan there will be eight million unemployed in this country within two years. Many Endorse Plan. Representative Richard N. Elliott of the Sixth Indiana district, is also in receipt of a number of communications endorsing the American valuation plan, which he voted for when the tariff bill was before the house. He considers it the most vital part of that measure. Opposition to the American valuation plan is confined almost exclusively to American importing interests, and it reached its peak after the tariff bill reached the senate. A propaganda movement of gigantic proportions aimed to Influence public opinion against the American valuation plan was launched and it probably was in a measure responsible for the senate's delay in acting on the tariff measure, which was passed by the house

last July. The senate finance commit

tee referred the American valuation plan to a commitee of treasury experts and. it is understood, these ex

perts will soon submit a report sub

stantially to the effect that the plan

is economically sound and practicable, i

Included among the importing interests opposed to the American valuation plan are the large department stores. These concerns are large advertisers and it i3 a significant fact that many metropolitan newspapers throughout the country have for months been thundering their denunciation of that provision of the pending tariff bill which the American manufacturing interests depend upon as a barrier of protection against foreign competition which would be impossible for them to meet. Disposes of Argument. Opponents of the American valuation plan have been insisting that its operation would practically shut off imports of foreign made goods and lhat this would result in the closing of the markets of the world to American industries. The effectivenes of this argument was disposed of by Representative Longworth of Ohio, in a brief statement he made in the house on Nov.

23, the final day of the last session of congress, when he said: "In regard to the American valuation, I do not know whether members are aware of it, but Great Britain has within the last month passed a tariff bill providing for home valuation, which is the same proposition that we have." He could have added that Great Britain Is the greatest trading nation in the world and one of the greatest of importing nations. The resolution adopted by 35 manufacturers of Richmond, Ind., echoes the sentiment expressed generally by the manufacturing interests of this country. Their resolution reads, in part: "The measure of protection should be such as to afford the producer a fair profit and the employe a good and sufficient wage under the American

The Theatres

MURRAY. One hundred and eighty-eight years after the opening of the first theatre in America, at the junction of Maiden Lane and Fearl street, New York, there is introduced in the modern form of drama, the motion picture, th6 latest mode of travel the airplane. This is in the Billy Rhodes picture, "Nobody's Girl," which is now showing at the Murray theatre. An airplane figures as the vehicle in which a rescue from the sea is made. Billy Rhodes as "Nobody's Girl" has been set adrift on the sea and au

of the present method of

calculating tariff duties on the basis

of foreign values, such system affording, as evidenced by numberless cases in the past, the greatest opportunity to defraud the government of revenues and subverting intended protection to American industries. And that they approve under all conditions "the American valuation plan, that is the calculation of tariff duties according to the American value of goods similar to those imported."

WOMEN POSTOFFICE CLERKS GOOD SHOTS POSTMASTER SAYS

CBy Associated Press) DETROIT, Mich., Dec. 13. Believing that "The female of the species is more deadly than the male" in the use of fire-arms as well as other weapons, Postmaster William J. Nagel of Detroit has set out to prove comic writers and comic artists are wrong when they imply a woman invariably closes

her eyes when she shoots a rifle or

revolver. As part of the campaign to elimin ate postoffice robberies the postmas

ter has ordered 50 women employes of

his office to take up target practice,

In the few lessons that have been held

the girls and women have shown

equal, if not greater aptitude than the men, according to Mr. Nagel. Three Close Eyes. The first time the women's squad engaged in practice but three of the 50 closed their eyes when they discharged their weapons. The prize winning girl in target practice so far, is Miss Carrie Thick, 21 years old, who weighs less than 100 pounds. She made a score of 54 out of a possible 60 shots. Upon her first appearance she was obliged to use both hands to life the .45 caliber revolver used in practice. Daily classes for postal women, at

which the use and care of fire-arms is being taught, are held here.

He rescues her by swooping low

over the small boat. It is a dramatic incident and only one of the many which make this picture one of the most attractive ever seen at a IoclI theatre. MURRETTE. "Dream Street," the new D. W. Griffith picture, is a charming little

voyage through a land that is distinct, ly Griffithland.

In a foreword to the picture, he says

it is not Limehouse, nor London, Pennyfields nor High street. It is just one of the fascinating lands of Nowhere that Mr. Griffith invents. . .

It has the most charming and poetic

landscapes of any of the countries into which he has wandered.

With the actors, you seem to roam

through the diamond dusk of strange old alleys, with their dust and their

perfumes, and the odd life goes jangling through the shadows. With the queer, sardonic Chinaman you tread stealthy stairways that seem to creak with the memories and confessions or, with Gypsy Fair, the adorable little dancer, you trip measures in the sunshine of broad walks and

little courtyards. Sometimes you are upon the docks with the masts and spars of the shipping black against the starlit sky. Again, you are in funny, stuffy little dressing rooms which seem to have the age and traditions of the real. Still again, wou are in ancient Egypt of the Pharoahs, with the pyramids

standing in grim and reeking silence at your back. Then again there comes into your purview, dainty drawing rooms that ring with the laughter of children; and then old court rooms, sodden with sorrows and memories of sorrows. There is always something interest ing and distinctive about Griffith's "sets" but those of "Dream Street"

have a charm that is beyond descrip- j

tion. 'Dream Street" is now the feature at the Murrette theatre. "THE BAT" "The Bat." by Mary Roberts Rinehart and Avery Hopwood, the most successful dramatic play by all odds produced in the past generation, will

be presented at the Murray theatre on Thursday and Friday by Wagenhate and Kemper. Those who are at all interested in the affairs of the theatre are familiar with the remarkable record made by 'The Bat." For one entire year, "The Bat" has played to capacity audiences in New York. And it is still at it. For the Fame period of time, lacking only a few weeks, another company presented "The Bat" in Chicago where it broke every existing record for the length of a run and smashed all box office records for receipts. The play stands absolutely in a class by itself in point of popularity. Not a little of the success of "The

! Bat" is due directly to the sportsman

ship of the theatrical critics and theatregoers who have seen it. The authors and managers unite, wherever "The Bat" is presented, in requesting that no one disclose the secret of the play and so far as is known, no one has ever broken faith in that regards. The result is that there is still the

Bame delightful surprise in store forj the treatregoers today as there wasj

the first night "The Bat" was ever presented on any stage. "The Bat" comes here, backed by its remarkable record for popularity and the enormous success that has greeted it every place it has been seen. The production is exactly the same as that being used by the New York and Chicago companies and the cast is a particularly strong one, including as it does: Kate Blancke, Helen Carew. Ce-

MURRAY VAUDEVILLE Willard Mack's playlet, "Who Is She?" featuring Joseph E. Bernard and Inez Ragan, is headlining the Murray bill for the first half of this week.

One is sure of the experience of the talent when watching Mr. Bernard and Miss Ragan run lightly through the humorous sketch. It is all about the suspected infidelity of the husband. "Who Is She?" is the question which puzzles the young wife. It is a delight and a joy to be entertained in so pleasing a bit as Mack's playlet, with two Euch as present the offering. Both Mr. Bernard and Miss Ragan have had varied but successful theatrical careers, and can be counted as a real addition to Richmond's vaudeville acquaintances. Is it possible that sleight-of-hand performances can be put to music? A solution awaits all those who see "Hanson and The Burton Sisters," the "Magical Man and his Magical Maids." It is one of thoso unique acts which remain in one's memory as the concrete example of the impossible, together with a miniature musical comedy made possible by the attractive Burton Sisters. We're not going to solve the mystery of Cecil Grey for you. Cecil is billed as the "Human Question Mark " "iou'd better go and figure it out for yourself. Wright and Davis present a clever skit. "The Love Insurance Agent."

Some clever lines ana novel ideas are featured by this team. By the way, the girl is very becoming in her pur
