Question Too Progressive. TheyThink
—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 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—
hats.e\en in the streets, the majority decisionseerred to be that a hat now QBfle by air.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 themby the arm when strolling around thecampus, 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 believetoe question is too progressive even forman?- 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 Christianconference is Miss Ruby Sia. of the Balti-more Wcaes's College. Shf is also USB- ;
ciaie fJitcr 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 IWong, 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 Americanfamily near Philadelphia. She is now'about thirty years old.
Other interesting: Chinese women are Mrs. ,
Samuel "Wong and Miss Mabel Cbing Kau, jboth bora in the- Hawaiian Islands. They
\u25a0 ere graduates of the Honolulu NormalSchool, and have taupht in Hawaii several j:- pars in schools where American, Port.:- ;
puese, Japanese, Hawaiian. Chinese, Co-reaa and other children are educated to

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.
