Because of the Inability of Sen. James E. "Watson to get away from his duties at Washington, the Chau

tauqua authorities have secured BrigGen. William G. Everson to speak at the Friday night session of the as

sembly.

Gen. Everson is one of the prom

inent men of the platform. Twenty

five years ago he was a resident of Richmond, a member of the Baptist church and an employe of the Starr

Piano company. He entered the mm istry and rose rapidly in his profes

sion and has filled some of the largest

pulpits in the denomination.

Upon the entry of the United States in the World war, he joined the army where he distinguished himself and, after many promotions, reached the

rank of colonel. He was active in

the campaign in Italy and for a while

was in command of a division. Bluffs Enemy '

By marching his division repeatedly

across the front of the enemy he

bluffed them into believing he com

manded a mighty army and they were afraid to make an attack. For his gal

lantry and bravery he was made

brevet brigadier general and was mus tered out of service.

He again took up his pulpit and has devoted his summers to the platform where he is very popular. He is well

known to many Richmond people and has appeared here several times in add. esses. It is expected that his coming will call out a large audience of former friends and acquaintances to hear their former fellow townsman. Elevates English Stage "Sir James M. Barrie has done more to elevate the English stage than any other man of our time," said Mrs. Katherine Oliver McCoy in her picturization of seven scenes from r even of Barrie's foremost plays at the Chautauqua Friday afternoon. The secret of his power lies in his childlikeness. He. has always kept the heart of a child and beneath the age likeness is i he face of a child." Mrs. McCoy presented, in her characteristic manner, seven scenes from seven of Barrie's best plays. It was her exposition of Sir Barrie as a play

wright. The plays which she so entertainingly set forth were "Peter Pan."

"The Admirable Oichton," "Alice-Sit

By-the-Fire," "What Every Woman

Knows," "A Kiss for Cinderella," "The

Old Lady Shows Her Medals" and

"Dear Brutus." Tells About Barrie She also told of the early i?fe of Barrie, when as an author, he first began to feel his power. He went to London and soon joined the exclusive Garrick club, much to the disgust of his thrifty mother, who bewailed the expense of so great a sum as 30 pounds per year. The description of this episole in Barrie's life was also done in the quaint Scotch dialect. Barrie's transition from the field of the novelist to that of dramatist, he blames to Charles Frohman, American theatrical manager, said Mrs. McCoy.

Mr. Frohman was a dear friend of Sir Barrie and was ever endeavoring to induce Barrie to join the ranks of the playwrights. This Barrie did, more out of his love for Frohman than for his ambition to become a writer of plays. Example of Tact Mrs. McCoy also noted the tact with which Sir Barrie set at ease a famous American comedian who visited him at the Garrick club in London. She related the incident in the American's own words when he told about it on his return. Mrs. McCoy is the logical person to interpret Barrie for she has a personal knowledge of Barrie's works and his personality both from the careful study of his life and plays and from her own treasured intimate acquaintance with him. Her ability to interpret his work in the characteristic Scotch dialect is also an invaluable

asset, bhe states that now is probably the psychological time for the

interpretation of Barrie as the pub lie is perhaps more interested in this man and his work than in that of any other dramatist. Audience is Pleased . Davies Light Opera company took the audience by storm Thursday night when Mr. Davies presented Riehard

Stahl's "Said Pasha." From the beginning to the end it v.-as a riot of fun and laughter. Several local touches were thrown into the score which added greatly to the amusing effect. The plot story is that of a young Mexican nobleman, Terano, who goes to Turkey in search of an ideal wife. He fails to find her there at the kingdom of Said Pasha, and so accepts an invitation of the Pasha to accompany him to India. There are two wanderers, Hadad and Nockey, who are disguised as pilgrims going to thp Mecca, and they go with the party. Then develops a tale of adventure and love as Hadad finds his lost daughter; the Rajah secures his desire in Serena, the daughter of

the Pasha, ihe beautiful Queen Alti proves to be the ideal of the young nobleman Terano. and the Pasha is rewarded with the love of Ballah SoS jah. " Costumes Beautiful. The costumes used in the play were 2 beautiful and each part brought out i- the story with fine effect. The musical score was effectively renZ dered in every part, for the Davis i Light Opera company are all excellent ! vocallists. ?' The cast was as follows: Serena, S Florence Conant; Queen Alti Irene i Heinberg; Ballah Sojah, Louise Nictaols; Terano. Harry Smith; Hassen Bey and the Rajah, Earl Anderson; Hadad, Harry Davies ; Nockey, Harve '' Howard; Said Pasha, Herbert McClellan. ? This is not the first appearance of the Davies Light Opera company here, for they have played to Richmond S chautauqua audiences in previous years. This company will make its f iast appearance during this assembly i Friday night in "The Mikado." i Give Scotch Comedy. S "Kitty MacKaye, a Scotch comedy " was given Thursday night by Mrs. ? Katherine Oliver McCoy. Mrs. McCoy f has the gift of a Scotch dialect voice

Firemen receiving instructions regarding new oil-burning furnaces in Metropolitan building.

Owners of the Metropolitan Life Insurance building in New York city have solved the semi-

occasional coal shortage problem by replacing the coal furnaces with ail-burning equipment. The

oil is used for fuel to furnish heat, light and power for the buildir

and her presentation of the work was j very effective. ' "Kity MacKaye" is a moderen Cinderilla who has been living with a man and woman who are not her parents. Word was brought to her that

she has come into her fortune and she is taken to London to live with a

family of high rank. She fell in love

with a young officer in this family but their union was prohibited by the guardian of "Kitty". She believes her lover untrue, and so returns to her native home, but her guardian finds his mistake and returns for her. She finally consents to return and in so doing finds that she still loves the young officer and the marriage is permitted. Musical selections from the opera "Martha" were the feature of the pre

lude program of the Davies Light Op

era company which preceded Mrs. Mc-1

Coy at the chautauqua Friday afternoon. Though the program was largely musical, there wa senough of the dialogue in it to give it a pleasing variety. This company will present "The Mikado" Friday night.

"The Floors Must Be Fixed"

Soon floors must be prepared for winter. The department of agriculture has prepared a booklet telling what woods are suitable for floors, how to finish, stain and care for floors, all about rugs, carpets, and other coverings, and how to take care of them. If your floors or carpets need any attention this year, the booklet will be a great help. This is a free government publication, and our Washington Information Bureau will secure a copy for any reader who fills out and mails the

HARDING

(Continued from Page One.) indeed the less menacing conditions of the coal strike of 1902, Mr. Roosevelt Tully intended to seize the anthracite mines of hia own initiative. In fact, he was tugging in the harness to seize them. Without asking anybody's advice, and carefully concealing his intention from everyone except one man, Mr.

Roosevelt in the role of commander-in-

chief of the army, summoned General

Scofield-and told him to hold himself and the army in readiness to take over

the anthracite mines and operate them

as a receiver wouii. Dislikes Such Action.

This sort of action is repugnant to President Harding. He thinks that one of the great dangers of a democ

racy lies in officials arbitrarily stepping beyond the bounds of their (Jbn-j stitutional authority. To refrain conscientously from the exercise of any authority not clearly within his preogative probably has been regarded by President Harding ae being a larger fundamental contribution to the public good than the more spectacular things he might readily do with a good deal of popular approval from a public mind excited by an emergency. . Further than this, for other reasons, seizure of some mines or of some railroads never has been and is not now part of the immediate program for dealing with the strikes. In spite of the flood of talk on this point for two

months past, there has never been much in it. Nevertheless, the strikes,

and especially the railroad strike have now reached a point where this step must be considered, at least in the light of a final contingency. Thinks Power Right This being so, Mr. Harding thinks it is desirable for congress to give him the necessary authority so that he can use it if the need should arise. He rv-l told this to congress. But at Lhis point the president stops. At this point, too, the situation becomes involved with the whole question of the relations between Harding and congress. Harding will not assume leadership of congress, he will not use a club over congress. He will not use his patronage to bribe congress. He will not use his position to threaten congress. It has "been urged again and again

upon President Harding not only in the present emergency, but ever since he came into office that he should assume

leadership of the legislative branch of the government. But this is a thing which need never be expected. It is contrary to his temperament and to his deepest convictions of what is sound public policy. Congress, lacking, leadership from Mr. Harding, lacking indeed' any other leadership from within itself, is not disposed to move rapidly in the direction of giving the president the legislation in question. Diviserfied Views v Each party in congress and each little faction and each individual in congress, in the lack of any party discipline and the lack of any leadership, looks upon the question from the point of view of his own political fortunes.

If he thinks that this legislation would

any other proposed legislation would

cost him some popularity in his home

district he refrains from getting Involved in it.

Meantime, in spite of the settlement

of the more important phase of the coal strike the situation is becoming

acute. The menace now lies in the strangulation or at' least in the stricture existing at certain railroad points. Plenty of coal can be mined and is

being mined. The question is can the

railroads carry it fast enough to avoid famine a few weks from now. The best judgment is they cannot. Coal Stocks Gone The coal 6tocks at points of consumption have been exhausted. The railroads must move in "two months as much coal as they ordinarily movo in six months. About four weeks from now there will be a sudden leap whic i

will double the consumption of coal due to the starting up of furnaces for heat and due to increasing consumption of gas and electricity in proportion as daylight grows shorter.

Whether congress does or does not give the president any additional au thority Mr. Harding will certain be expected to use all the authority he has.- That authority if events should demand it will turn out to b? considerable. Harding has spent the eleven hours of patience and mediation. If the emergency calls for it we shall learn the qualities he retains for the twelfth hour.

of the validity of Einstein's theory of

relativity will be possible with, the total solar eclinse on Sept. 21, which

will darken the eastern coast of Af

rica, Australia and a number of South Pacific islands, according to Prof. Edwin B. Frost of the University of Chicago1 and director of the Yerkes observatory. -

The theory requires, he said, that

the rays of light from a distant star should be bent out of their straight path when they pass within the field of attraction of a great body like the sun. But stars whose light passes

close to the rim of the blazing sun cannot be photographed except on these rare occasions when the moon obscures the sun. Stars Serve As Tests. The path of the sun, in its annual sweep around the sky, is dotted with many stars which would serve for the test, but only those can be used which nearly graze the sun at the moment of eclipse, Prof. Frost said. Accordingly a photograph is made of these stars at a time of the year when the sun is in a different part of the sky. On such photographs, taken at night with the same instrument that

is used at the eclipse, the distances

between the critical stars are measured to the ten-thousandth of an inch. At the moment of the eclipse these stars will lie on opposite sides of the sun. Hence, when this photograph is measured, the distances between the corresponding stars should be slightly greater than on the plates taken some weeks before or after the eclipse, and which were not disturbed by the sun's

presence, according to Prof. Frost.

INTERESTING STORY ABOUT JENNY UNO

From the Detroit News.

In his book of reminiscences, Arthur Coleridge, a great-nephew of the fam

ous poet, gives an interesting account of Jenny Lind. He was her intimate

friend for 20 years. He tells the fol

lowing story of the prima donna and

the Duke of Wellington:

"In four months after her arrival

in London the old warrior had be

come a captive to the enchantress.

He courted the lady so ostentatiously as to rouse the jealousy of the Italian faction; his enthusiasm was

rather awakward at times to the ob-j ject of his homage. I have her own authority for saying that the Duke ; always arrived early and seated himself in his box on a level with the stage. Directly he saw Jenny Lind; he opened fire: "Good evening Missi Lind, how are you tonight? All right, I hope.' These well-meant utterances: were a trifle out of place at the par-j ticular time, for the Lucia, Amina, orj Daughter of the Regiment was always so absorbed in her part as to be out of touch with all outside influence." 1 KILL RATS TODAY
