CHESS ASSOCIATION 1 MEETS iv Eehr Elected President for Coming Year. Question Too Progressive. They Think Give Their Views of Woman's Modern Dress. Hartford, Conn.. A;- 22 (Special).— Twenty younc Chinese women, the largest number cf student? of collegiate rank of this nationality «»ver gathered under the *ame roof for Christian service ha the his- i tory of the Celestial Empire, are here at- tending: the second convention of the I Chinese Christian Students' Association in, North America. TYkv will also remain for the general conference of all Chinese stu- dents in the Eastern States, to be held j on Wednesday, when the Christian con- \ \u25a0 \u25a0 \u25a0 will er l^ With "Thf Part of Chinese Women In China's Evangrelization" as their speciai topic, they tm assuring the!r brothers that the men <Jo not have to struggle alone to make China a Christian nation. They are attending .-..-\u25a0 mcetins-fceid under the auspices of the Christians; trying to cv-Tdo t!;e boys: in attendance. Pressed in American skirts cf latest patiem and mandarin coats made cf the richest silk, these young: -women are ari attraction in the classrooms and on the cimr'JS of Trinity College, where the con- vention is held. When some of them were r.sked to ?ive a reason for wearing the coats, cr.e of them said that "111 order to look nice" they must do this. The truth afterward learned is thai the American dresses require the binding of the waists to St. By covering their waists with a rardarin coat they are able to a veld this American custom, which they would never carry home with them to China. When asked why none of them hats. e\en in the streets, the majority decision seerred to be that a hat now QBfle by a ir.i::ißery shop is of no use and serves no practical purpose. It does not pive pro- tection to the wearer. AVhen travelling it occupies 100 much room In one's trunk. Asked why they would usually not per- mit their young men friends to escort them by the arm when strolling around the campus, the reason siven was that they did not wish to form habits which were ob- jectionable to their people at home. Regard ins woman suffrage, they believe toe question is too progressive even for man?- American women, and they do not thinK ti-ey will be required to solve such £ problem. The foremost woman and official leader ] «^r the women's auxiliary in this Christian conference is Miss Ruby Sia. of the Balti- more Wcaes's College. Shf is also USB- ; ciaie f Jitcr of "The Chines* Students' \u25a0 Monthly." the official org of the Chinese ! Btndents* Alliances of America. She is . ; looked upon as the spokeswoman of all , Chinese college women in this country. Asians the other women is Miss Si--sie I Wong, of Phi!ade!rl»ia, who is in every- tUng an American except nativity. She | cptaks r.o Chinese. She came to this coun- \u25a0 try from Shanghai when seven -.-ears old. One year after her arrival her parents fiiedc * She was adopted by an American family near Philadelphia. She is now ' about thirty years old. Other interesting: Chinese women are Mrs. , Samuel "Wong and Miss Mabel Cbing Kau, j both bora in the- Hawaiian Islands. They \u25a0 ere graduates of the Honolulu Normal School, and have taupht in Hawaii several j :- pars in schools where American, Port.:- ; puese, Japanese, Hawaiian.

Hie father was James Daily -.:kn:an. well known in Westchester County as a lawyer and in whose office Judge Silkman read law. He was admitted to the bar in 1579. In 1906 Judge Silkman sent an open letter to Senator Edgar T. Bracken in which he said that the bill reported by Senator Brackett's committee to divide the 2d Judi- cial district made no provision for the town of West Chester and portions of East Chester and Pelham, annexed to New York City under the laws of 1895. He made a strong fight against the bill, which be thought would make the territory, which had been known as "no man's land," into a "no judge's land." feated Owen T.

Young Men Were Thought To Be Watching a Place Too Intently. I \u25a0 fives Braniek, McLotighlln, Conroy and Macllhargie arrested six young men on Broadway, between 100th and 110th streets, as suspicious persons last eveninsr.

Willcox Answers Criticism for Delay in Advertising. Chairman .William R. Willcox of the Pub- lic Service Commission yesterday replied to the criticism of the commission for the lay in advertising the contracts for the new subway routes. He said: "•The plans, specifications an'! forms of contract for the tri-borough system of sub- ways have b**r'n completed for three or four weeks and ready for advertising, SB far as the commission is concerned. As soon as the Corporation Counsel has approved the form of contract, a3 required by law, bids will be asked upon these contracts." Mr. WBleaa added that the routes had been approved by the Board of Estimate and Apportionment and the work of pre- paring plans and specifications had been going on for many months. There are in the system now planned, he pointed out. 133 miles or railroad track, or 44.2 miles of miles of railroad track, cr 44.2 miles of road, while the present system has -1 - miles of track, or about 2S.i> miles of road. , While the old Rapid Transit Commission had laid out some routes, important changes, said the chairman, had been made by the present commission to straighten out the road. Besides, a wide detour was ne- cessitated in the Brooklyn line, if inde- pendent operation -was to be secured, as the lower tracks on the present system could be claimed by the Interborough un- der its contract with the city. Mr. Willcoa also makes the point that, while the old commission laid out some routes, ,it did not prepare any plan, and that the greatest care had to fee used in working out these plans, as a single triflincr mistake might result in a skyscraper col- lapsing. VARIETY HOUSES. Percy Williams opened his Alharrtbra Theatre yesterday afternoon with "The Carnival of Roses/ in which Ml]£. ' \u25a0'* Hal and a company of twenty make a delightful appearance. \u25a0 Frederick Hawley pres?nt- ed "The Bandit"; James C. Moessa and Frank E.

The American Music Hall prases \u25a0 this week as its leading attractions Julian El- ting?, female impersonator: the Count and Countess Chile, in thought transference, and Jack O'Brien, pugilist, in place of Will- iam Lang, the Australian champion.

Warner begin bis second season in "Alia.-« Jimmy Valentine," Paul Armstrongs thrilling melodrama that held the boards at Wai- lack's for so many weeks last season.

Bates John Webster Daniel Johnson George A. Wright Edmund Applerod .. . - Fred >rrom«; Silas Trimmer John D. O'Hara. Clarence Smylhe Charles Lane Sam Stone Thomas Findlay Harry Chalmers John S. Robertson Fred" Alstyne Leslie Baasett Tommy Winthrop Harvey T. nark Lewis Harvey Sidney Bent Homer Weldon Lawrence Eddincer Phillips Frank Hiichcs First Office. Boy Henry Carl in Second Office Boy Frank Daniels. jr. Clerk George Spel In astv-s EUlaton Miss Ethel Clayton Nellie. Platt Miss Ruth Rose A Yours Woman Mips Frances i^avag" Wallace Eddinger in "Bobby Burnit" at Republic Theatre. | George Randolph Churchill's "Bobby I Burnit" was visualized last nipht at the Republic Theatre by Wallace Eddlnjrer in Win- hell Smith's comedy of the same name. "The Making of Bobby Burnit" was not . the making of Mr. Eddlnger. for he has i already made for himself an enviable repu- •: tation, but it did add greatly to the laurels , which he lias won. The hero is the young son of the late j Silas Burnit, formerly the proprietor of a large department store, which, together ! with $250,003. he bequeaths to his son Rob- ! ert. Robert up to the time of his father's | death lived a happy-go-lucky life of lux- ! ury and extravagance. He begins the career of a merchant by ordering three I business suits and having the office re- | decorated. He learns a business code from j an illiterate proprietor of a gymnasium, and becomes the victim of "Una:! \u25a0' "-.' ! who rob him of his business and his fort- une. By dint of hard work, much deter- I mination and good luck, however, he re- i covers all that he lost and wins the re- spect and love of his fiancee, whose faith \in him had begun to weaken. Incidentally, ! lie comes into possession of another fort- June,J une, which his father had left in trust in j charge of Agnes Elliston, Bobby's sweet- heart. The play i? in four acts. It takes fast hold of the attention and retains it to the ! end. It is marked by successful climaxes i at the end of each act. with the strongest | situation at the close of tlje third act. It ! is serious drama for the most part, with, comedy furnished principally by one char- I acter—Henry B. Bates, an illiterate gym- I nastic instructor and friend of Bobby. I There is one scene that is melodrama for ! one character and farce for the others j and the audience. Mr. Eddinger's acting was sincere and strong. His utterance was swift and clear. He is refreshingly free from stage man- nerisms and is absorbed in his part. He was received with such a show of approval as would flatter many an older and more experienced actor. John Webster, as Henry Bates, the gymnastic instructor, was very much of a success. His character was con- ventional, but he imparted a sense of origi- nality in speaking his slangy and witty lines that altogether won his audience. He brought out the spirit of loyal friendship | and sympathy In truthful fashion. Miss Ethel Clayton is deserving of praise- for her creditable impersonation of Agnes i Elliston. She learned her part in one night and acted it the next day. when the play \ was first presented out of town. Last night ! was the third time that she appeared in the !piece. She has a certain harshness of voice, which may be overcome with proper train- ing. She Is charming in appearance and pleasing in manner. She is a good listener and speaks her lines naturally. George A. Wright was a successful Daniel Johnson, a pessimistic clerk: Thomas Find- lay was a capital Sam Stone, a corrupt politician and business trickster; Ruth Rose an attractive stenographer, and John D. O'Hara a realistic Silas Trimmer, who engineered the consolidation and absorp- tion of Bobby's store. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. "In memory of .1. M. S." $10 no ••in memory of it. C R." 10 uo Mrs. Charles K.

Pixty per cent of the boys in this Fresh Air parti.- have never been out of the city. Yet. according to Mr. Putney, the country trips are just what they need. The two weeks' vacation gives a boy a chance to break wit!) the assi" lat^s which ar^- the Chief cause of his wrongdoing. Said one chat! as he reported yesterday: "I broke with me pals to go on this trip." This means that when he comes back from bis vacation lv will be able to make a fresh .start, with the right kin-i .>f fel- lows to help him along. When a Big Brother took a little interest in him his attitude changed, and he is now a boy to be proud of. "Nobody cares nothin' for m"; so what's the use?" One Of the bey.-; had used a knife on his opponents in a street right, another had been arrest-d for stealing and still another had been released on trial from a juvenile asylum. Several others w^re boys who nad been arrested as ungovernable ehildrt-n. But this is their history, not. their character. Almost every one in the party has been under the oversight and influence "I the Big Brothers for two years and in that, time has proved that a!! he needs is half a chance to be as much of a man as th^ next, fellow. A fellow, who had "got in wrong," as he expressed it. and went to Mr. Putney, the secretary of the Big Brothers movement, when asked why he didn't behave replied: They were not a very piratical looking party, despite the fury of their onslaught, and no cutlasses or marlinspikes were in evidence. On the contrary, they were a very neat, bright, lot of ordinary boys. Yet there was not a boy in the party but had a history— the reason for his being a \u25a0younger brother." Most of them— fact, all but six—had been through the Children's Court. T> \u25a0-\u25a0 thirty were sonr» of the "younger brothers' from the Big Brother Move- ment, who arc being sent away by the Tribune Fresh Air Fund to be entertained by the boys of the Groton School at their summer camp. Their ship v.as not sched- u^i to weigh anchor until fi p. m., but the boys wanted a chance to look her over and make sure that she was a seaworthy craft and properly provisioned for the voy- age before the start. So they boarded her at 4:15. rushed her decks fore and aft and wanted to swarm up her rigging—only there wasn't any to swarm up. There wasn't anything aboard the good ship that escaped their inspection. They went everywhere that passengers were sup- posd to go and some places where they were not. but nobody stopped them. It uas woll that nobody did, for "nobody" would probably have been beel-hamled or forced to walk the plank if any resistance had been offered to the onrush of th«> board- ing party. Anchors are not generally supposed to float, but hundreds of them, along with hosts of capstans and multitudes of gang- planks, floated last night. The scene of their floating was say with dancing red port lights and green starboard ones, while miles upon miles of hawser twisted and coiled here and" there through the picture. It all took place in the dreams of thirty boys M"ho were stowed away in as many berths aboard the stanch ship Providence,- out of New York for Boston. Everybody dreams just such dreams on his first voy- age and peoples them to overflowing with captains and first mates, pursers and able bodied seamen.

Twenty younc Chinese women, the largest

number cf student? of collegiate rank ofthis nationality «»ver gathered under the*ame roof for Christian service ha the his- itory of the Celestial Empire, are here at-tending: the second convention of the IChinese Christian Students' Association in,North America. TYkv will also remain for

the general conference of all Chinese stu-

dents in the Eastern States, to be held jon Wednesday, when the Christian con-\ \u25a0

\u25a0 \u25a0 will erl^With "Thf Part of Chinese Women In

China's Evangrelization" as their speciaitopic, they tm assuring the!r brothers that

the men <Jo not have to struggle alone tomake China a Christian nation. They are

attending .-..-\u25a0 mcetins-fceid under

the auspices of the Christians; trying to

cv-Tdo t!;e boys: in attendance.Pressed in American skirts cf latest

patiem and mandarin coats made cf the

richest silk, these young: -women are ari

attraction in the classrooms and on the

cimr'JS of Trinity College, where the con-vention is held. When some of them werer.sked to ?ive a reason for wearing thecoats, cr.e of them said that "111 order to

look nice" they must do this. The truthafterward learned is thai the Americandresses require the binding of the waists

to St. By covering their waists with arardarin coat they are able to aveld thisAmerican custom, which they would nevercarry home with them to China.

When asked why none of them—

Willcox Answers Criticism forDelay in Advertising.

Chairman .William R. Willcox of the Pub-

lic Service Commission yesterday replied to

the criticism of the commission for thelay in advertising the contracts for the

new subway routes. He said:"•The plans, specifications an'! forms of

contract for the tri-borough system of sub-ways have b**r'ncompleted for three or fourweeks and ready for advertising, SB far

as the commission is concerned. As soonas the Corporation Counsel has approved

the form of contract, a3 required by law,

bids willbe asked upon these contracts."Mr. WBleaa added that the routes had

been approved by the Board of Estimateand Apportionment and the work of pre-paring plans and specifications had beengoing on for many months. There are in

the system now planned, he pointed out. 133miles or railroad track, or 44.2 miles ofmiles of railroad track, cr 44.2 miles ofroad, while the present system has -1-miles of track, or about 2S.i> miles of road., While the old Rapid Transit Commissionhad laid out some routes, importantchanges, said the chairman, had been madeby the present commission to straighten out

the road. Besides, a wide detour was ne-cessitated in the Brooklyn line, if inde-pendent operation -was to be secured, asthe lower tracks on the present system

could be claimed by the Interborough un-der its contract with the city.

Mr. Willcoa also makes the point that,

while the old commission laid out someroutes, ,it did not prepare any plan, andthat the greatest care had to fee used inworking out these plans, as a single triflincr

mistake might result in a skyscraper col-lapsing.

Wallace Eddinger in "Bobby

Burnit" at Republic Theatre.| George Randolph Churchill's "Bobby

IBurnit" was visualized last nipht at theRepublic Theatre by Wallace Eddlnjrer inWin- hell Smith's comedy of the same name."The Making of Bobby Burnit" was not

. the making of Mr. Eddlnger. for he hasialready made for himself an enviable repu-

•: tation, but it did add greatly to the laurels, which he lias won.

The hero is the young son of the latej Silas Burnit, formerly the proprietor of

a large department store, which, together

! with $250,003. he bequeaths to his son Rob-!ert. Robert up to the time of his father's| death lived a happy-go-lucky life of lux-

!ury and extravagance. He begins thecareer of a merchant by ordering three

Ibusiness suits and having the office re-|decorated. He learns a business code fromj an illiterate proprietor of a gymnasium,

and becomes the victim of "Una:! \u25a0' "-.'!who rob him of his business and his fort-

une. By dint of hard work, much deter-Imination and good luck, however, he re-icovers all that he lost and wins the re-

spect and love of his fiancee, whose faith

\in him had begun to weaken. Incidentally,

!lie comes into possession of another fort-

June,J une, which his father had left in trust inj charge of Agnes Elliston, Bobby's sweet-

heart.The play i? in four acts. It takes fast

hold of the attention and retains it to the!end. It is marked by successful climaxesiat the end of each act. with the strongest| situation at the close of tlje third act. It

!is serious drama for the most part, with,

comedy furnished principally by one char-

Iacter—Henry B. Bates, an illiterate gym-Inastic instructor and friend of Bobby.

I There is one scene that is melodrama for

!one character and farce for the othersj and the audience.

Mr. Eddinger's acting was sincere andstrong. His utterance was swift and clear.He is refreshingly free from stage man-nerisms and is absorbed in his part. He

was received with such a show of approvalas would flatter many an older and more

experienced actor. John Webster, as Henry

Bates, the gymnastic instructor, was very

much of a success. His character was con-ventional, but he imparted a sense of origi-nality in speaking his slangy and witty

lines that altogether won his audience. Hebrought out the spirit of loyal friendship

|and sympathy In truthful fashion.Miss Ethel Clayton is deserving of praise-

for her creditable impersonation of Agnes

iElliston. She learned her part in one night

and acted it the next day. when the play \was first presented out of town. Last night

!was the third time that she appeared in the

!piece. She has a certain harshness of voice,

which may be overcome with proper train-ing. She Is charming in appearance andpleasing in manner. She is a good listener

and speaks her lines naturally.George A. Wright was a successful Daniel

Johnson, a pessimistic clerk: Thomas Find-lay was a capital Sam Stone, a corruptpolitician and business trickster; RuthRose an attractive stenographer, and JohnD. O'Hara a realistic Silas Trimmer, whoengineered the consolidation and absorp-

tion of Bobby's store.

The party goes to Squam lakp, nearAshland. N. IF., in the White Mouniains.In (liars'- of It are two representatives ofthe p.itr Brothers, and at the Groton campwill be several Groton masters to help Inthe care of tiie bO3 s.

Pixty per cent of the boys in this FreshAir parti.- have never been out of the city.

Yet. according to Mr. Putney, the countrytrips are just what they need. The two

weeks' vacation gives a boy a chance tobreak wit!) the assi" lat^s which ar^- theChief cause of his wrongdoing. Said onechat! as he reported yesterday:"Ibroke with me pals to go on this trip."This means that when he comes back

from bis vacation lv will be able to makea fresh .start, with the right kin-i .>f fel-lows to help him along.

When a Big Brother took a little interestin him his attitude changed, and he is nowa boy to be proud of.

"Nobody cares nothin' for m"; so what'sthe use?"

One Of the bey.-; had used a knife onhis opponents in a street right, another hadbeen arrest-d for stealing and still anotherhad been released on trial from a juvenileasylum. Several others w^re boys who nad

been arrested as ungovernable ehildrt-n. Butthis is their history, not. their character.Almost every one in the party has been

under the oversight and influence "I theBig Brothers for two years and in that,

time has proved that a!! he needs is halfa chance to be as much of a man as th^next, fellow. A fellow, who had "got inwrong," as he expressed it. and went to

Mr. Putney, the secretary of the Big

Brothers movement, when asked why hedidn't behave replied:

They were not a very piratical lookingparty, despite the fury of their onslaught,

and no cutlasses or marlinspikes were inevidence. On the contrary, they were avery neat, bright, lot of ordinary boys. Yetthere was not a boy in the party but had

a history— the reason for his being a\u25a0younger brother." Most of them— fact,

all but six—had been through the Children'sCourt.

T> \u25a0-\u25a0 thirty were sonr» of the "younger

brothers' from the Big Brother Move-ment, who arc being sent away by the

Tribune Fresh Air Fund to be entertainedby the boys of the Groton School at their

summer camp. Their ship v.as not sched-u^i to weigh anchor until fi p. m., but theboys wanted a chance to look her over and

make sure that she was a seaworthy

craft and properly provisioned for the voy-

age before the start. So they boarded herat 4:15. rushed her decks fore and aft and

wanted to swarm up her rigging—only therewasn't any to swarm up.

There wasn't anything aboard the goodship that escaped their inspection. They

went everywhere that passengers were sup-posd to go and some places where they

were not. but nobody stopped them. It

uas woll that nobody did, for "nobody"

would probably have been beel-hamled orforced to walk the plank if any resistancehad been offered to the onrush of th«> board-ing party.

Anchors are not generally supposed to

float, but hundreds of them, along with

hosts of capstans and multitudes of gang-

planks, floated last night. The scene of

their floating was say with dancing redport lights and green starboard ones, whilemiles upon miles of hawser twisted andcoiled here and" there through the picture.

It all took place in the dreams of thirty

boys M"ho were stowed away in as many

berths aboard the stanch ship Providence,-

out of New York for Boston. Everybody

dreams just such dreams on his first voy-

age and peoples them to overflowing withcaptains and first mates, pursers and ablebodied seamen.
