HE QUITS FEDERAL EMPLOY Statement In Reply Declares That Corporations Will Xot Be Per mitted to Contribute Pub licity Is Advocated. WASHINGTON, March 16. Wade H. " Ellis and his relation to the Department of Justice and the Republican cam paign in Ohio were freely discussed by the House Tuesday. Minority Leader Clark insisted on knowing, in connec tion with appropriations for the De partment of Justice, whether Mr. Ellis v5iad actually ceased to draw his salary as Assistant Attorney-General since he had taken charge of the Ohio cam paign. Mr. Tawney expressed the opinion that Mr. Ellis was no longer connected with the Government. "This is not the first time that men who obtained confidential information In public office which might be of great value in the conduct of a campaign, have been selected for such duty," shouted Mr. Fitzgerald, of New York. "Mr. Ellis has had an opportunity to get information that can be very val uable in frying the fat,' which is the technical Republican expression, and with that power he may save the Presi dent in his own state In the coming campaign. Fitzgerald fears for New York. "I have been wondering what resi dent of the (State of Kew York, with confidential information, is to be brought out as the candidate of this Aamlnlstratlon as the head of the Re publican campaign in that state." Mr. Fitzgerald add-l that the infor mation possessed by Mr. Ellis by his having conducted the Standard Oil pro secution for the Government would be of value In getting contributions, es pecially as "the Standard Oil Company had not been without difficulties in Oh 1 o. Mr. Tawney declared that Frank B. Kellogg had been in charge of the Standard prosecution and not Wade Ellis. "Wade Ellis is still on the pay roll of the Department of Justice and will probably stay there," shouted Repre sentative Welssc, from the Democratic Cloakroom, where, he explained, he had telephoned the Department to get this information about Ellis. Ellis Quits Department. Mr. Longworth said that while Mr. Ellis might still be on the pay roll of the Government, yet he knew that Mr. Ellis would not draw any further sal ary la that account. Mr. Ellis issued a statement last night in answer to the charges made In the House. "Evidently," he says, at the outset, "the news of the Republicans getting together in Ohio is beginning to annoy the Democrats." Mr. Ellis then said that he resigned his office as assistant to the .Attorney General on March 1 to accept the chair- mansnip or me Republican state execu tive committee of Ohio and he expected to be relieved of his duties in Wash ington Immediately, but because of a delay in securing his successor and the absence from the Department of the Attorney-General in connection with the Standard Oil case, he was asked to serve In the Department. Public Service at End. "I have done so," said Mr. Ellis, "entirely for the convenience of the De partment. Now that my successor Is appointed I am relieved from further obligation in this respect and my serv ice with the Government is wholly ter minated." Referring to campaign contributions, he said: "The laws of Ohio forbid any corpora tions making a contribution for po litical purposes. If the Ohio campaign is in my charge, I shall neither solicit nor accept a contribution from any corporation nor permit anyone else to do so for the Republican committee. More than this, I shall Invite the Democratic committee to co-operate, whether required by law or not, in publishing all contributions." RUSSIA SORRY FOR ACTION Making Common Cause With Japan Against China. Decried. ST. PETERSBURG. March 16. During debate in the Duma yesterday upon ap propriations for the foreign office. Pro fessor Milukoff, leader of the Constitu tional Democrats, sharply criticised the Far Eastern policy of Foreign Minister Iswolsky. Taking as a text Russia's rejection of Secretary Knox proposal for the neu tralization of the Manchurian railways, he declared that the situation in Man churia was far more serious than that In the Balkans. The minister, he said, had made a dan gerous mistake In making common cause with Japan. Russian Interests in Man churia were too unimportant to Justify the Government in antagonizing china on "their points of difference, but Iswolsky's whole policy has been directed in this un fortunate channel.

ROADS, NOT RATES, SPOKANE REQUEST Special Meeting of Whole Chamber of Commerce Is Called on Question. TWO SEEKING FRANCHISES One Faction Would Give Franchises Without Terminal Rates Other Upholds Refusal Former's Resolution Turned Down. SPOKANE, Wash., March 16. (Spe cial.) The Spokane Chamber of Com merce was given a jolt at the weekly luncheon Tuesday when E. F. Waggoner, fuel and Iceman, sprang a resolution calling on the Council to rescind Its recent action and grant to the Milwau kee and. North Coast Railroads fran chises without the terminal rate pro viso. The meeting at once disclosed two camps. H. M. Stephens, a well-known attorney representing lower rate liti gants, argued that if the resolution were adopted the chamber might as well notify the Interstate Commerce Commission that It no longer wants terminal rates and In addition jeopar dize the Spokane case now before the commission. F. W. Dewart, another prominent cit izen, argued that Spokane needs the roads more than terminal rates, and that the more roads the better the rates. A. W. Doland. wholesale drug dealer, spoke in favor of the resolu tion. It was agreed to call a special meeting of the whole Chamber of Com merce for Thursday evening to take definite action. A considerable number of real es tate men protest against being includ ed In the category of those who dined with President Strahorn, of the North Coast, when It was the sense of the diners that roads should be given fran chises practically on their own terms as to freight rates. Mr. Waggoner's resolution voted down today follows: That in the Judgment of the Spokane Chamber of Commerce the matter of the application of these two railroads for fran chises, and the matter of terminal rates are two of entirely separate and distinct is sues. The former is a matter of very great local Importance and the latter Is a Na tional issue now properly under considera tion by the Interstate Commerce Commis sion, and that in our opinion the Conucil should grant the franchises asked for by these two railroads. Including a proper common-user provision and duly safeguard ing otherwise the city's Interest but with out requiring the insertion of the ter minal rate provision, and we urgently rec ommend a rescon8ideratlon of this mat ter by the 'Council at the earliest possible JOB SOUGHT AT 11TH HOUR Legislator Phones Resignation to Governor to Get Another Office. " TACOMA. Wash., March 16. (Special.) R. D. Shutt, Representative from the 87th legislative district, quit his job in a hurry about 11 o'clock tonight.

PREDICAMENTS OF ACTORS Amusing Cases Where Quick Think ing Is Necessary. Dines that won't come are not half as much dreaded by actors as the stage "properties" that refuse to work. Since real doors and 'practical" locks have become universal there is constant pos sibility that the door will come open, that the lock will not work. Some joker locked the "real" safe in "Sherlock Holmes" one night, and the actors, had to remember that they had left . the papers, the indispensable, always-incriminating papers, "In another room. Last Fall, In a play built on an in surance scandal, the president of the company and hia chief attorney found it advisable to leave the office in which they were conferring by a private ele vator in order to avoid two detectives who had entered an adjoining room. The real catch on the door of the private elevator took sides, with the detectives and the president wa3 at bay. Was he? No; he walked over to the window and raising the sash said to the eminent at torney: "They mustn't find us here; follow me!" If the audience could befteve its eyes he had Invited the attorney to follow him by the air line to the street some 20 stories below. He followed. Perhaps they met a clothesline on the way, for they turned up Berenely in the next act to be utterly confounded by the hero. Often enough actors have to arrange flowers, look over letters, move the furni ture, or invent some such business to fill In awkward pauses. It's seldom that they must invent lines to cover business. On the opening night -of "The Prince Chap" Cyril Scott had to chatter away for seven minutes to the child he held on his lap while he undressed It. Mr. Scott hasn't any children of bis own and knew nothing about undressing them. There had been just one dress rehearsal of the piece, and it was so prolonged that when they came to this scene it had been passed over with the remark that had always ended the rehearsals of that act: "Now. then, you undress the child and then the curtain!" The author had provided half a dozen speeches for Mr. Scott, but with the utmost frugality he had used these all up before the fifth button. Facing the first-night audience the comedian had his first lesson in the gentle art of undressing the young. While he hunted among its nether garments for buttons he talked all the nursery non sense and repeated all the nursery rhymes he ever knew, ending with "This little pig went to market," as he took on the kiddle's stockings. Then he paused for breath, and there was a storm of applause that told him his impromptu performance had "got over" more effectively than any of the soenes so carefully rehearsed. "Since that experience," said Mr. Scott the other evening between the acts of "The Lottery Man" at the Bijou, "I don't think I'll ever get panic-stricken on the stage. If some thing refuses to work, the only thing to do is to go on acting, just as though you were playing a make-believe game. There is a point on ahead somewhere that you can connect with. Until you can get there you must be author and actor too." Tully Marshall's cleverness in saving the situation in "The City" when his gun refused to go oft and he crossed the stage and beat his sister over the head with the butt of his revolver re called a parallel case in which an actor showed equal l r " mind with out such happy (?) results. . In the third hcl u, orlrama the rich .banker sat at his desk writing when his enemy appeared at the win dow and shot him. The trigger clicked on a bad cartridge; the property man standing in the wings then pulled the trigger on the emergency gun, and by some fatality it, too, refused to ex plode. So the enemy climbed through the window and, apparently, beat out the banker's brains. In reality he gave him quite a drubbing, and then climbed through the window again. In the play the banker was sup posed to have received a mortal wound, but to have strength enough left to add to the letter he was writing: "Joel Drake shot me through the window; I saw him do it." Then he was to crawl across the stage on hands and knees, drop the letter In the private mall chute and die. This night the actor got the letter in the mail chute and died heroically, in spite of or on account of the beating he had re ceived. But when the climax of the play was reached the heroine was stumped, for she was to read the letter to a crowded court room. No one had thought of this contingency, so she read: "Joel Drake beat me to death; I saw him do it." Then the audience caught on, there was a gurgle, followed by a roar, and the curtain had to be rung down. MORSE PARDON SON'S AIM Banker's Offspring Gets 4 0OO Sig natures to Petition in Baltimore.
