Uequest to Assist Plan
McAneny Outlines Needs
Constructive Criticism Is
Welcome; Obstructive
Tactics Will Be Opposed
A prompt reply was made yesterday
by George McAneny, chairman of the
Transit Commission, to the letter of
? orporation Counsel John P. O'Brien,
notifying the commission of tho ap
poitotinent of William A. De Ford as
special assistant to the Corporation
Counse in transit matters, and asking
'or him ae?e>s to the records which the
commission has compiled.
Mr. McAneny told Mr. O'Brien that
he assumed Mr. Do Ford's apointment
?va? for the purpose of assisting the
?i-mission in collecting data with
which to make clear to the city author- i
ties the details of the proposed transit ;
plan mid to place in the hands of the
?ity officials material that will put, ]
them in a position to consider the plan '
'.'rom ;i constructive point of view.
If this is correct, Mr. McAneny's I
letter said that Mr. De Ford's inspec- j
iou of the records will be welcomed.
The commission will not welcome, how?
ever, any inquiry by Mr, De Ford mado
for th?.- ?-?special purpose of placing
!Urth?r difficulties in the way of a
serious and non-partisan inquiry.

Mr. A. A. Milne, in his charming
trifle. "The Dover Road," invents a
new and meritorious philanthropy.
Experienced as you are ill alms-giv?
ing and the relief of distress, you may
doubt that such a discovery has been
made. You have seen the oil and tup?
pence of your compassion penetrate
suffering's most remote headquarters
from devastated France to enfamined
Vienna, and you are skeptical when
you are told that Mr. Milne has found
another route to Samaria.
Nevertheless he hag done so at the j
Bijou, where Mr. Charles Cherry, as
a beneficent Mr. Latimor, has estab-'
lished a eure for elopement. It is Mi*. :
Cherry's eleemosynary passion to look ;
out for and arrest upon the road to j
Dover such foolish couples as may be |
making their sinful way from virtuous ;
England to the voluptuous Riviera.
Mr. Cherry is rich and humorous as j
well as great of heart. With an expan?
sive and a beguiling hospitality he in?
tercepts elopers and ho imprisons them
courteously upon his estate in Kent,
until, after a week or two of propin?
quity, they grow to know and to loathe
one another. Whereupon they return,
more or less intact, to their homes.
?*> ??? w
The case illustratoo delectably at
the Bijou is that of Leonard, a British
lord (Mr. Reginald Mason), who, hav?
ing left his wife, Eustasia, is making
his way with Anne, his lady-love, from !
London to it Channel boat. Mr. Cherry j
and his wonderful butler (Mr. George :
Riddell), trick the absconders into re?
maining the night in his luxurious
domicile. In the morning Mr. Mason,
having been deprived of his clothinp
and his razor, and having been caught j
by a bad cold in a drafty room, is no j
romantic object. His beard, his !
sneezes, hit*, dishabille, his appetite for ;
kippers find kidneys, mitigate his |
sweetheart's matutinal admiration j
fpr him. She. in a fresh and unsterco- I
typed impersonation by Miss Winifred!
Lenihan, laughs her romance away; :
and, I think, you will like her as she. j
does so. 1 did.
Of course, Euatasia (Mils Molly
Pearson) is also a patient at Mr.
Cherry's unique sanatorium, for she is
trying to elope with Nicholas, a green
though winning fellow, as denoted with I
quiet skill by Mr. Lionel Watts. But |
reporting a play by Mr. Milne is as j
fiat a procedure as decanting cham- j
pague, and the bubbles of his comedy
are too iridescent to be examined in ;
detail. Of Mr. Cherry it is to be said j
that he well knows his way about the :
quizzical character and practices of j
Mr. Lathner, who is a laughing, earnest j
Barry chap. *
Often 1 have been entertained by ?
Mr. Cherry's likable eloquent reti- !
c?neos, but never more so than in "The ?
Dover Road." He is dining, for in?
stance, with some impeded elopers, and
he is gorgeous in a velvet dinner coat
and other sartorial insignia of super
sophistication. He grins occasionally
at the indignation of his reluctant
guests. "Don't be afraid/' says he,
"this chicken en cusseroie was one of
the Buff Orpingtons, her grandmother
was a Wyandotte and her great-grand?
mother was a Rock?one of the Plym?
outh Rocks." I found "The Dover
Road" to be a quietly twinkling, adult
entertainment?one that you will en?
joy, but which will bore many of your
friends.
Trilby Revived in Fair

Trilby sang "Ben Bolt" again last
night. The sinister Svengali cast his j
mesmeric spell over the tone deaf girl |
and changed her into a human bird of j
song.
The National Players, the recently I
formed repertory company, for its in- I
itia) offering at the National Theater,
turned backward to good, old-fashioned '
"Trilby," with its bohemian life in i
Faris's Latin Quartier, its fearsome
and strange hypnotist and its love}
story. The Paul Potter play from I
George du Manner's novel has donc j
good service in the theater and last j
night it again proved diverting enter
toinment, although not entirely favored ,
by competent playing.
Wilton Lackaye, whose name cannot
be mentioned without associating it
with the role of Svengali, familiar with !
the character's needs, stood out by his I
efforts from his associates who strove, j
but mostly in vain, to keep pace with j
him. Whenever Mr. Lackaye's Mephis- '
tophelian figure was on the stage the i
piece was alive, electric. Even when he j
was absent the influence of his weird i
and terrifying eyes was felt, but still j
thore was a void which was filled when j
he entered. There is power and evil in
the role of the hypnotist-musician as
played by Mr. Lackaye, heightened by
the effectiveness of his dress. If only
for his performance th? production of
"Trilby" is worth a visit to the theater. ?
Miss Charlotte Walker's talents did ;
not seem to meet the requirements ?/?
the role of Trilby O'Fcrrull, the ai.-i
ist's model who falls under the Bpoll
of Svengali. She 13 personable enough, !
but appeared too mature for the ?-ar
Her episodes of the play. Joseph Allen, I
as 1h<: Scotch painter, gives an entire- j
ly adequate and finished performance, j
The high spot in the play is Sven- !
fall's death in the third act, and Mr. i
Lackaye died with a gasp which pro?
duced chills in the region of the spine.
As he lay outstretched on a table, his j
head hanging backward over the edge, j
he lacked only the horns 1.0 give him I
the appearance of Satan himself.
The National Players have made an !
interesting and entertaining start or. ?
their venture of the co-operative pro- |
ducing of plays, without, as Mr. Lack- >
aye put it in a curtein speech last ?
night, intervention.

Anne StiUmanHome
Unexpectedly f o r
Christmas Holiday
Asked if She Will Dine
With Father or Mother,
She Says: "With Neither;
I Shall Be With Friends"
Miss Anno Stillman, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Janiea A. Stillman, who are
suing each other for divorce, arrived
here unexpectedly yesterday from
Southampton on the White Star liner
Adriatic. The young woman, who had
been attending Bchool abroad, said she.
had come home for the holiday?;. Asked
if she would dine with her father oi?
lier mother, Miss Stillman replied:
"With neither. I shall be with
friends."
Miss Stillman was accompanied on
the Adriatic by Mies Frances and
Henry P. Davison jr., the children of
Henry P, Davison. Both had been
abroad at school. The three young
folk were met at the pier by Mrs.
Davison.
Another traveler on the Adriatic was
Irving T. Bush, who has lxr.cn abroad
several months attending to tho con
stru lion or "Bush House" in London,
which will cost $8,000,000. The budd?
ings in London, which are similar to
the Bush Stores which Mr. Push built,
in South Brooklyn, are only partly com?
pleted. The construction thus tar, he
said, had cost $?,900,000.
He said he was in Vienna Dec-ember- I
and 3?iw "rom his window in the Hotel
Bristol a riot carried on by a mob
against stores and hotels and ret?
tanrants. The rioters broke windows,
h?.* said, and helped themselves to
whatever suited their fancy. It was
reported. Mr. Bush said, that tho riot
was a Communi?t uprising, but it was
his impression that it was merely an
outburst of temper on the part of the.
people generally who were enraged
over the fluctuations in exchange and
thi? high cost of bread, over which the
government had relinquished control.
Szechenyi To Be Diplomat
Hungary l<? Appoint ??nint as
Minister to Washington
WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.?Hungary is
preparing to name Count Lassio
Szechenyi, who. in 190S, married
Gladys M. Yanderbilt, of New York, as
it;; new Minister to Washington.
Count S?ecuenyt s name was sub?
mitted for approval of the American
government some time ago and it is
understood his appointment will in
every way be acceptable.
Hungary has not been represented
officially in Washington since the en?
trance of the United States into the
World War, and the projected resump?
tion of diplomatic relations follows the
e-cchange of treaty ratification between
this country and Hungary at Budapest
stive ral days ago.
Press dispatches from Budapest late
in October said Count Saeclienvi would
be designated as Minister to Washing?
ton, but it was reported several days
lt.ter than he had declined the place.

Review of Situation
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.'!.?A review
of the situation in Russia, based on
? statements in the Soviet-controlled
! press, was issued to-night by the Com
! m orce Department.
A new economic policy, the depart
I ment .?aid, is being evolved by the
I Bolshevist leaders, lightening the rc
i strictions of Communism and aiming
at the partial re-establishment of
private trade and industry and at in
j creasing the Incentive to production.
I Communistic management of industry
| in Russia, it added, had resulted in a
i general disorganization of economic.
| life.
Lcnine, in a speech in October, rec
! ognized the defeat of Communism, ac
i cording to the department. He was
? quoted as saying:
"The substance of our new economic
; policy is dictated by the recognition
! of the fact that we have suffered a
I powerful defeat and commenced a sys
j tematie strategic retreat. Thoie can
j be no doubt in the minds of the Com
! munists that we have suffered defeat
I on the economic front, and a mighty
crushing defeat, and thus we are facing
consciously and deliberately the new
economic policy."
The main features of this new nol
i icy, the department reported, include
the partial restoration of freedom of
trade in agricultural products, aban
?lonment of the practice of unrestricted
requisition of labor and the aubstir**
j tion of a fixed labor tax, abandonment
of uniform v/ages for employees of tb??
same grade in enterprises operated by
the state and the substitution of com?
pensation according to the sei-vice ren?
dered, leasing to private individuals or
' certain industrial establishments hith
I erto controlled by the state, and en
I terprises still operated by the statu
I are to adopt commercial principles,
. paying private producors and other
state enterprises market value for ma?
terials and selling their products at
market value.
Saloonkeeper Shot Dead
BELFAST, Dec. 28.?A saloonkeeper
j was shut dead while walking on the
street here this evening. Later a bomb
was thrown into a tramcar loaded with
I Unionist workers, but it failed to ex
! pi ode.

Soviet in Mexico Report
Based on Clash With Idle
Agitators Hoist Ked Flag in
Situation Caused by Dismis?
sal of Factory Hands
MEXICO CITY, Dec. 23 (By The As?
sociated Press). -A rfrport circulated
in tho United States that a Soviet re?
public had been established in tho city
| of Puebla -was officially denied last
i night by Alberto J. Puni, S cretary of
j Foreign Relations.
? It was explained that there had been
some trouble at the Mayorazgo hacien?
da in tho Aplixco district of the State
of Puebla, when- u factory had re?
duced its working force, leaving 400
! persons without employment. Several
i families were ejected from houses fur
n-slud by the factory, without a court
decision, it was said. The ejected
| familias, assisted by the unemployed
j workmen, built shacks on lands belong?
ing to the Mayorazgo hacienda, upon
which the factory is situated.
Agitators from Puebla circulated
among the unemployed, hoisting a red
and black flag and endeavored to in?
duce the workers to seizes the factory.
Thrt factory owners immediately ap?
plied for aid to General Gustavo Eli
i sr.nd ?. military commander of the State
I of Puebla. General Elisondo sent
troops to protect the factory and later
General Jose Sanchez, Governor of
Puebla, went to the scene and in a talk
with the unemployed convinced them
of the wisdom of changing their atti
i tude.
