WAYS TO THWART GRAFTERS
Rudolph opreckels believes he has
perfected a pUn to defeat munic pal
grafers. It is the formation of a civic
auditing agency to keep olose watch on
city officials from mayor down. The
estimated cost is 1100,000 a year. If
such a committee should be created, the
next problem? sod it would be a most
difficult one ? would be to prevent
collusion between the auditing agency
and the city administration. If a city
was always sure that the auditing
agency would be non-partisan or of
opposite views from the ''ins." all
might be well, but city administra
tion change. An auditing agency
created to watch Schmitz, for instance,
mtxht not be so keen to watch the suc
cessor of Schmit. In fact, experience
has showt. that faults that look large in
polit'cal opponents are often minimized
wben committed by political friends
and allies. That this is so is one of the
weaknesses of human uacure.
The grafter does not care how many
investigation.- are carried on, as a rule,
so long as the investigators are of his
crowd. Investigations haye been
encouraged by grafters confident of
a whitewash and desirous of allaying
suspicion.
After all is said and done, the best
method yet devised of getting rid of
the grafter is to turn him out of JofSce
or to send aim to prison. It is unsafe
to a sunie that auditing agencies 'will
be fiee from the temptations of graft
and will contine their watchfulness
under all cooditlons. For every graft
discovered there is a new one to t"?ke
its place. The best protection the tax
payers have against graft is to acquaint
themselves with public affairs, to keep
their eyes open when contracts a-e let
and while they are execated: to cheise
for office ra.'n known to be public
spirited, and to study political prob
lems. In this way the taxpayers

Mansfield, Warfield. Anna Held
Among Season's Successes.
MAXINE ELLIOTT'S LONG TOUR
Mita Held Gets $1,000 a Week Salary
In "Tha Parisian Model" ? Warfield
and Mansfield Each Made at Least
) 100,000.
Although the struggle for popularity
anil success on the stage Is 80 difficult
that many actors and actresses never
realize their atubltlou. there l.s a grent
financial reward for those who succeed
In accomplishing an artistic triumph.
The present theatrical season has
been a remarkably successful one
throughout the country, and the
amouuts made by some actors place an
Independent fortune at their disposal.
Of the many stars who have enjoyed
success probably no two performers
have met with greater financial re
ward than Richard Mansfield and Da
vid Warfield. Both of these actors
have the advantage of sharing exten
sively In the profits of their shows, and
their share this season is placed con
servatlvely at $100,000 each.
Mr. Mansfield has no manager to
share his profits, and, with the excep
tion of one or two plays, he has not
!>een obliged to pay any royalties,
which U In Itself a , treat saving. Mr.
Warfleld's success In "The Music Mas
ter" has been phenomenal, and, al
though It has been running for three
years. It was never the great "Itonan
za" that It has proved this season.
John Drew has been kept busy with
Arthur PInero's "House In Order." and
his percentage, added to his salary of
SoOO a. we?>k. brings Ids Income up to
$3?>.00ft. Sothern and Marlowe's sea
son In Shakespearean repertory 1ms
netted them not less than $30,000 each.
Willie Collier draws money three
ways from "Caught In the Rain." Be
ing co-author, he Is entitled to the roy
alties. and his salary and percentage
will make his season worth at least
$25,000.
Robert Slantell never enjoyed a more
successful season, and his thirty-five
weeks Just ended finds him many
AXNA HELD.
thousands to the good. Montgomery
anil Stone will divide about |
between them. "The Rich Mr. H"g
genhelmer" will enable Sam Bernard
ro add $25,000 to his bauk roll.
Robert Edeson, having exhausted tue
American route with "Strougheurt,"
Is uow in London, adding to the
000 already made In this country. Rob
ert Loralne has had another successful
tour with "Man and Sui>erman." which
will net him $20,000.
With but few exceptions many of j
the actresses have been more succe;s
ful than the actors. Maxlne Elliott
and Margaret Angiin divide the bmi
ors for big profits among the fair sox.
Miss Elliott showed excellent Judgment
by making a tour lu "Her Great
Match." The result Is that out of |
town theater goers flocked to see her
and increased her Income to Stlo.OOU
It Ls common gossip among theatrical
folk who have Just returned from the
circuit that Miss Elliott enjoyed one
of her most successful tours and that
she scored heavily where several other |
shows proved failures.
Miss Angltn proved that her artistic
temperament does not Interfere with |
her business Judgment. Miss Angliii
owns the right to "The Great Divide," '
and In addition to drawing a salary of I
$500 weekly she shared one-third of th. i
profits. As the receipts of "The Great
Divide" daring Its run at the Princes j
theater, New York, have been In the
neighborhood of $100,000, Miss Angltn's
income for the season Is brought up to
the handsome sum of $45,000.
Hattie Williams' first season as n j
star will net her about $30,000 lu "The |
Little Cherub."
"The Chorus Lady" was good to Rose |
Stahl, and the combination has result
ed in her getting $25,000.
Of the musical comedy folk Anna
field probably holds the record. Miss
Held appears In her husband's produc
tion of "The Parisian Model" and re
ceives the modest salary of $1,000 a
week. With a season of forty weeks
It can be readily seen that Miss Held
Is still a success as a money maker.
Viola Allen's tour In Shakespearean
repertory has pro-ed ji success to the
tuue of $40,000, and Maude Adnms'
second season In "Peter Pan" will
make her $40,000 richer.

promise of belli!? the best in the his

Yacht clubs nud associations have had
hard work arranging for all the races
that are to be sailed, and gTeat care
has lieen taken, as far as possible, to
preveut any very serious conflict of
dates. The associations that are form
ed to arrange for such troubles as uiay
arise over dates have done uiucli for
the sport and have not only brought
about uniform rules of measurement,
time allowance and racing, but have
settled many other little difficulties
