November and December.
"It will be seen that in the sanatorium
work much success has been again
achieved, the great majority of patients
showing improvement,” says Dr. Eaves.
"One of the deaths In November was
piobably due to other causes, the patient
being a young child suffering from hook
worm disease, whom the association
nurses took in hand when apparently In
a hopeless condition.
"One ease in the sanatorium is indicat
ing progressive recovery from terrible
‘•or.dltions of tuberculosis in the throat,
which gives great satisfaction to the man
agement.
"In the lack of sufficient nursing force,
Miss Malone has been temporarily giving
attention to the district nursing, and Miss
Ivanhood, a former patient, has been em
ployed temporarily as assistant at the
sanatorium. Miss Marguerite Kenyon,
who has had experience as a settlement
worker in Chicago, has been entered as a
student in district nursing.
"it is expected during January to inan
imate a tuberculosis class at the dispen
sary, consisting of patients and ex
patients of both departments.”

overthrow' the cabinet in which *the army

Cabinet Considers Matter
Tiie affair was considered at a meet
ii^g of the French cabinet today. At
tht* conclusion of the session an official
no'.e was issued which states that Alex
ant.Ve Millerand. the minister of war,
had assumed entire responsibility for the
reins.’tatement. It appears that M. Mil
l era no* had not consulted with his col
league.** In the cabinet, as he considered
it puretV an administrative measure of
no consequence.
After Lvi Paly De Clam retired from
the army he filed a complaint against
the ministiV of war. claiming that his
retirement w\as illegal.
In 1911, w'ly*n he believed there was
danger of a vwar between France and
Germany, the Monel wrote to Adolphe
Messimy. then 1’rench minister of war, |
asking that he l*e re-established In the
reserve corps. It' was agreed the officer i
should he reinstated if lie withdrew his
complaint against ^ he ministry. This he
did recently, and ythe decree was put
into effect.
It was reported irv the cabinet today
that M. Millerand oX'ered to resign at
today’s meeting of tin cabinet, explain
ing that he did not wish the Poincare
ministry to suffer as a. Telimit of his per
sonal act. Themars, however, the same
report says, refused to tbtetesn to his sug

MISS MARGARET ILLINGTON
SAYS VOICES HAVE COLOR
Incident in This Beautiful Woman’s Life Regarding the Late
Mark Twain—Her Domestic Nature and That “Darn
ing Episode’’—Her Very Best Role is Just
Her Charming Self
<.l By DOLLY DALRVMPLI
•v
/
MISS MARGARET ILLINGTON
Once upon a time at a premiere of the
uc-tors’ fair in New York a little inci
dent is recalled concerning the late Mark
Twain, and the amusement that rippled
the surface of that great gathering when
this distinguished gentleman ascended
the platform to make a brief talk.
What the great humorist said may be
forgotten.
What he did never will be.
For as the president of the Actors’
fair took him by the arm to escort him
to the rostrum, Mr. Clemens printed a
resounding kiss on pretty Margaret Tiling
ton's right elveek, and another on her
left, and, leaving the beautiful young
woman aflame with blushes, he took the
piatform, and began a recital of his
characteristic witticisms.
li occurred to me yesterday afternoon
as I sat in Miss Illington’s dressing room
at the Jefferson, during the matinee per
formance, that I didn’t blame Mark
Twain or anybody else for such impetu
osity, for a lovller or a more charming
or a more attractive woman, 1 have
scarcely met than this wonderful actress,
who has sacrificed tier physical pulchri
tude and exquisite daintiness for the'
homely role of “Maggie*’ in “Kindling,''
and which she has so vividly portrayed
as to cause her brother actor. Mr. George
Arliss, to describe as “cruelly great,”
and Mr. Otis Skinner to comment upon
as “an amazing bit of art.”
The little incident regarding Mr. Cle
mens punctuated a friendship between him
and Miss lllington which is very dear to
her, and the reminiscence of it began a
frienship between her and me which is
very dear to me.
Of all the roles, however, that lovely
Margaret lllington has created, and they
are several, none has been so charming
or so attractive as that of Margaret
lllington herself.
It was really as herself that I met her

yesterday, although she wore the little
old ragged dress and wornout shoes of
’ Maggie” of the play, but she was ra
diant with the radiance of lovliness and
charm and magnetism, which appeals so
strongly to her public, and which makes
hor ho unusual and unlike other people.
1 wanted to talk to her, of course, about
heiself, but it was her naive suggestion
that we talk about ‘ something else."
"Yes, yes, I know,” she said prettily,
‘‘but couldn’t wTe talk about—er, well,
anything and you just make up the inter
view yourself. ’
She spoke of "making up an interview”
as casually as if it were done with grease,
paint and rouge, blended with the mag
ical hare's foot.
"I'd stand for anything you’d write,”
she said generously.
"Do talk about yourself,” I begged;
"won’t you?"
"Why , not talk about—well, let s see—
suppose we say Shakespeare. I really
could say a lot of interesting things, you
know."
"But my time is so limited and what
my public wants to know is something
about you,” I suggested again.
"I adore, to talk about pictures,” Miss
Illington evaded again. "Do you happen
to know the work of a young painter out
in California named Keith? My husband,
Mr. Bowes, bought one of his paintings
recently for $2000, which he could sell to
day for $50,000 if he chose.”
"Some other time I’ll be delighted to
talk about California's promising y/>ung
artists, but not today please,” l begged.
She folded her pretty hands and looked
quite resigned, and said presently:
"Well if I must. J must. Go on, I’m
ready.”
"Not about beauty,” she went on a
moment later when I offered to let her
choose whatever she wanted to talk about
concerning herself. "Nor the first days
of my stage career, nor why I happened
to go on the stage, nor about all 'hat
tiresome darning and the foolish things
the newspapers credited me with saying
about home life and retiring from the
stage.”
“Dldn t you really say it? 1 in
quired.
“Never," she avowed. “When I was
ill some years ago and in deep trou
ble, the newspaper people sought me
and begged for interviews and rather
than talk about things that were de
pressing 1 seized upon the home life,
which I love, and socks particularly, as
symbols of domesticity. Tt was a ran
dom remark and I've never heard the
last of it. As a matter of fact 1 should
iiave chosen the frying pan, because
I’m a better cook than a seamstress.
Perhaps I should iiave chosen some less
innocuous subject altogether, as, for
Instance, ‘The Relation of the Stage to
the Church.’ or ‘Should a Young Girl
Chose the Stage." or something equal
ly bromidic."
Suddenly with a pretty inspiration
Miss lllington said:
“111 tell you; let’s talk about the
voices. That's what counts more than
everything."
“That passing sweet enchantment, a
gentle, lovely voice," 1 followed.
“Precisely," she said, "and the main
thing on the stage or off is to get
one’s voice placed. I've trained mine
by a low humming sort of M-m-er-m
Its an excellent vocal exercise. This
homely little humming of M-m-m-er-m
has done wonders for my voice. The
human voice is a marvelous thing, any
way. Every voice is like some musical
Instrument. There ere voices like cer
tain keys on the piano; some are deep
and soft and throaty; and many are
way up in the treble clef, while still
others jingle, like sweet bells out of
tune. To me in every woman’s voice
there is some musical instrument hid
den; of times it seems begging to be
released. Sometimes a voice carried
the violin tones; sometimes the violin
cello; at other times I hear the flute,
and all the other wind instruments
with the enchanting, beguiling notes
that may be evoked from them arc*
duplicated in a woman's voice when
she understands how to use her breath
and draw all the sweetness and purity
—tine, fine, like the thread of a mer
maid’s hair."
“But some voices arc born so hide
ous—like a banjo, or a hand organ out
of whack." I ventured.
“Not necessarily. Every woman can
cultivate a sweet voice if she only goe*
about it right,” said Miss lllington.
“It's a ghastly thing for a 20-year-old
girl to have a tin-panny, cracked voice
that sounds*every day of 40. And then
there’s so much color in voices. The
voice runs the gamut of the entire
spectrum in colors. There’s Bernhardt’?
voice, like a stream of molten sunshine.
Most women at her age have voices
! that sound like rusty crepe \eiAs—
| look.”
“The human voice.” she exclaimed
presently in that engagingly, frank
lllington way. "one could study it a
lifetime and then fail to grasp how
great are the possibilities of Its de
velopment!”
“If 1 may be personal,” Miss Illing
ton said modestly, after a pause (just
as if 1 hadn’t been trying to keep her
along the personal line all the while),
”1 had to work a lon^e. long time on
my Maggie’s voice in Kindling. I had
to keep it sweet, but not allow it to
be the voice of a lady. I tried to uni
versalize her voice—to make it sig
nificant of the woman herself—her
class. An actress has far more trou
ble in the ‘make-up’, as it were, of her
voice than her face. Each character
has its own peculiarity and it. is often
very difficult. The eyes may be the
windows of the soul, but I know' the
yoice comes straight from the heart.
INDEPENDENTS FEAR

UNDER LOWER TARIFF
(Continued From Page One)

ters In testimony.
Pleas for retention of present rates
were made by it. A. Levett of Now
Yprk In behalf of manufacturers of
tungsten lights: .Tames Gittermann of
New York for bottle caps, and C. A.
Curtiss of Meriden, Conn., for table
cutlery.
Mr. Gltterman averred that Amer
ican manufacturers were just about
able to compete with European bottle
cap products and that the Germans en
joyed a freight rate from Hamburg
t0 sail Francisco practically the same
as the freight rate from New York to
San Francisco.
Mr. Curtiss, representing !>n per een.
of American cutlery manufacturers,
said that the net profits were about
4i4 per cent on the Invested capital.
The Standard Chain company of
Pittsburg, according to testimony of
John Schmidts. Its president, would not
object to a 13 per cent tariff in chains.
Mr. Schmidts urged that instead of
a reduction on all chains to a flat ad
i .lorem basis of 30 per cent the com
mittee should retain the present spe
cific rates with a compromise minlmurn
ad valorem of 35 per cent Instead of
45 per cent.
lopping Opposes uni
John A. Topping, president of the Re
public Iron and tfteel company of New
York, bitterly opposed the general pro
visions of the Underwood bill, passed
by the last Congress, and used as a
basis for the present revision of the
tariff.
"The bill is objectionable on account
of its inconsistency and ambiguity,
Topping declared. ‘ Business must be
protected from foreign competition,
the bill is discriminatory, unfair and
will disturb business because it favors
one*class against another."
Topping stated that two standards
could not be maintained and that the
Underwood bill tended to work that
evil.
"It is a popular move against the
trusts," the witness said. "No products
are made by the trusts that are not
rrvAde by thousands of smaller inde
l>endent companies. Besides the bill will
seriously impair the pay roll of 400.
000 iron and steel workers. The em
ployes of the United States Steel cor
poration are the best paid laborers in
the country and this fact should con
vince the committee of the fairness of
capital toward labor. Labor profits in
proportion to capital."
Chairman Underwood Interjected at
this point that the v. itness looked upon
the bill from a manufacturer’s stand
point
"Has it occurred to you," returned
Topping, "that the government’s in
terest is the people's Interest, and you
cannot have revenue unless you have
prosperity? The bill shuts off pros
perity; profits will be sacrificed and
when you reach that, the last ditch,
labor will come in with its cry."
"Our purpose is not to make you
sacrifice your profits," Mr. Underwood
explained, "but many of the fates of the
Payne law are utterly prohibitive.
There must be revenue and if you build
up a Chinese wall and say nothing
shall come in. then we can’t expect
to derive revenue through the tariff.
The iron and steel schedule should
bear its proportion."
Mr. Underwood said he was inclined
to think the Iron and steel people
could take care of themselves.
Mr. Topping aroused members of tho
committee considerably by his bitter
attacks on tho democratic tariff pol
icy.
All the witnesses waiting to testify
on the metal schedule not having been
heard when the committee adjourned
at midnight, It was decided to post
pone conclusion of the hearing on this
schedule until after the hearings on
the other schedules had been held.
To Oppose Leather Changes
Boston. January 11.—A committee to
appear before the House ways and
means committee at Washington on
January 29 to oppose any change in
tariff on shoes and leather was ap
pointed by the National Shoe Whole
salers’ association af its annual meet
ing here today. The committee is
headed by John W. Craddock of
Lynchburg, Ya.
AMUSEMENTS
“Kindling"
A striking cartoon which appeared some
years ago, depicted a mighty hand thrust
up through a ballroom floor, filling with
terror and dismay the gilded revelers
wiio were environed by magnificence, with
scant regard for the people of the depths,
on whose shoulders the “upper crust” re
poses. Somewhat the same idea is the
theme of “Kindling,” Charles Kenyon’s
socialistic drama, which was presented
at the Jefferson theatre yesterday after
noon and last night by Margaret Jlling
ton and her company.
Maggie Schultz, a woman of the New
York teViement district, hearing stories of
infant mortality and the doom of little
wretches who are brought into the world
to grow up, even If they survive, wasted
and stunted In the slums, and having
her sensibilities aroused even more by
the discontented grumbling of a hus
band who does not believe that it would
be right to bring a child into the world
amici such sordid surroundings, is made
desperate by the knowledge that she is
to become a mother. An opportunity Is
afforded her to sew for a family of
wealth. She Is tempted by a neighbor,
a young man of the “cadet” type, to give
hint the “lay” of the house where she
works, for the purpose of robbery. Mag
gie. honest at heart, resists at first, but
when she learns that the very woman
who has patronized her with supercilious
charity and offered her $5 a week to
sew, is the owner of the death trap In
which Maggie lives, site decides to “get
even,” hoping with part of the loot to
pay the expenses of her husband and
herself to Wyoming where they will
start life anew.
Maggie is facing arrest when a young
woman, in the family that w'as robbed,
who represents the better type of
wealthy settlement workers, comes to the
rescue. When the pitiful facts are known
the charge against Maggie is withdrawn.
The “tenement angel” has already bought
two railroad tickets to Wyoming for the
unfortunate Maggie and Heinrich Schultz.
It is presumed that in that distant state
they will find life fairer and sweeter than
ever before.
Miss Illington’s portrayal of Maggie
Schultz was a triumph of realistic and
consistent acting. Her presentment of
toe character was marked by the utmost
sincerity. She has a rarely convincing
embodiment of a type of woman found
in the tenements of our larger cities.
Byron Beaseley was an able second to
Miss Illington. as Heinrich Schultz. His
thorough mastery of the part was evi
denced by a natural and virile presenta
tion. Malcolm Duncan as Steve Bates

ert Tabor as tlie doctor did not fully
answer the requirements even of a minor
part, while Florence Robinson as tne
tenement owner, during the short time
that she was on the stage, offered plenty
of food for socialistic reflection.
