CALIFORNIA GIRL WILL
BE BELASCO INGENUE
Miss Viola Barry is to be the new
Ingenue of the Belasco company. Since
the departure of Rosina Henley the
Belasco-Blackw<o>d organization has
been without an Ingenue, although the
plays that have occupied the attention
of Mr. Stone and his associates have
not required an actress of this type.
Miss Barry is a California girl whose
home is at Berkeley. She has had four
years' experience on the stage, two of
whirl, were spent with Benson's well
known Shakespearean company in
England. During this engagement Mis
Barry achieved the distinction of hav
ing played such heroines as Viola,
Juliet, Portia and Rosalind.
In this country she has played with
Forbes-Robertson, Louis Mann and
Douglass Fairbanks. Her first appear
ance with the Belasco company will be
made In Jules Eckert Goodman's play,
"The Test," which is scheduled to fol
low "The Case of Sergeant Wilde."
Miss Barry is an exceptionally beauti
ful young woman, with a keen appre
ciation of the dramatic niceties and a
voice full of wonderful tonal color.
BISHOP DECLARES CHURC^j
COMPETITION IS TOO HOT
Prelate Thinks Religious Work Is
Hindered by Rivalry
"When It comes to sixteen different
Presbyterian and seventeen different
Methodist churches in the foreign field,
the foreigner thinks he has a right to
invent a church of his own as good as
any of the others," said W. F. Oldham,
bishop of India, yesterday noon at the
Federation club.
"When the American flag was raised
in the Philippines," continued the
bishop, "the good and bad elements
rushed in, some with their Bibles and
others with the liquid product of Mil
waukee. Hut there is a mehod quite
strictly adhered to by the establishing
of zones by the different denomina
tions for the purpose of not encroach
ing on the territory of each other.
"The missionary spirit is miking
great progress in this and other lands.
But the splitting up of the denomina
tions and the watching of each other,
create a hindrance in religious work,
although it is conceded that a certain
amount of competition is good for re
ligious as well as other work."

er of the superior court, to whom he
had applied for naturalization papers.
The court explained briefly that the
constitution of the United States recog
nizes no titles of nobility and asked
the applicant for citizenship to lay his
title aside so long as he may remain
In the United States. To this the
prince assented without the slightest
hesitation, though he informed the
court that the Russian government
would not admit his right to abandon
his title any more than it would per
mit him to change his name.
Asked ..is reasons for becoming a
citizen of the -United States, Mr. Trou
betzkoy replied mat he had taken the
step because of his admiration for this
country and Its institutions. He denied
that he had been actuated by a de

Latest Decree of Fashion Impels
Los Angeles Women to
Manacle Their Limbs
What fashion decrees for women,
they must do, or pay the penalty. With
the adoption of narrow skirts the edict
went forth, "No more long, manly
strides. Walk with ladylike, mincing
steps." But some women found it ac
corded ill with their desires and con
tinued indifferent to this order.
When local and visiting club women
began heir crusade for lower car
steps rumor ran that the hobble skirt
was responsible for the movement.
Could it be possible that it is not, after
all. the hobble skirt, but this more re
cent device of fashion, the hobble gar-
COURT CONFIRMS ELECTION
OF MUNICIPAL TRUSTEE
The_judgment of the superior court
of Kings county was affirmed yester
day in a decision handed down by the
district court of appeal in the case of
Grant Starkweather against John H.
Dawson, both of whom were rival
candidates for the office of city trus

Starkweather was given a majority
of the votes, according to the election
judges and Dawson contested, demand
ing a recount in the courts which, when
given him, resulted in his having a
vote of two to one in his favor. Stark

In favor of Dawson and Starkweather

; ter, which caused the agitation. For
several months the flounce of
my lady's petticoat has been confined
closely about her ankles with an elas
tic belt, but evidently It was not
enough to hold lit bound at the ankles.
She must have her stride regulated,
her gait measured by the hobble garter
at the knee, also.
The hobble garter is verily a hobble,
as much as that which the jockey puts
on the legs of his horse when teaching
'it a new gait. This garter is so de
j signed that the wearer is obliged to

I her gown will hang straight and all
unnnecessary strain will be avoided.
That is, all strain en the skirt. The
wearer may break her neck in mount
ing some high curb, or fall under the
wheels of a street car In endeavoring
to cross the street where congestion of
traffic threatens the pedestrian, but
she will at least die in the fashion.
POLICE SURGEON 'SLIPS A
STITCH' IN TIPSY SCALP
"Say, kid, slip me a stitch, will ye?"
. Dr. Kidder, surgeon in the receiv

table yesterday afternoon and looked
, into the smiling face of S. S. Smith.
! smith said he had been drinking, had
fallen and cut his head, and asked to
have a stitch taken in his rcalp.
"So you were drinking, eh?" Dr.
Kidder asked. /
"I was. But slip me that stitch
Oh, you kid!"
Dr. Kidder "slipped the stitch" Into
Smith's scalp then turned him over to
an officer who locked him in the city
jail for being drunk.
"Smith was entirely too cute," said
Dr. Kidder.
