SURPRISED BY THE JUDGE.
Four Complainants transformed Into
Defendants and Also Fined.


There was a big disturbance Sunday
night on car No. IL, of the Chevy Chase
line, at the corner OF Eleventh and U
streets northwest. The young men who
figured in the affair were: George Nc.
Duell, William McDuell, Fred. Pusey and
Daniel Morgan.
They were on the front platform of the
when a negro boarded it, thereby crowding
the motorman, John B. Burnham, into a
very small space. He requested some of
the men to move, and all bands became
wrathy and stubborn. A fracas ensued,
which attracted a large crowd.
1t is said that the motorman attempted
TO put the negro off the car, and in some
way the white men became entangled in
the trouble. One OF the men claimed that
the motorman struck him over the head
with the brake handle. The police in
terfered, but the difficulty seemed so COM
plfcated that they could not fathom the
trouble in order to make 1ustifiable
arrest.
The quartet of white men seemed 10
be under the influence of liquor, and
alighted from the car after it resumed its
journey. All four hied to a magistrates
office, and secured a warra Mt for the ar
rest of Motorman Burnham, charging him
with assault and battery upon Fred. Pusey
and one Of the others. The warrant was
executed, and when the case came up in
court yesterday morning, the judge de-
cfled things In manner which quite sur.
priscd the quartet, and put them in any.
thing but pleasant mood.
He dismissed the case of assault and
battery preferred against the motorman,
and fined the complainants' for being
drunk and disorderly. George McDuell
was fined $50, and william McDuen and
Fred. Pusey each $40. Daniel Morgan's
case was dismissed.

HERE'S WHATS IN A NAME
Jacob Lift Will Give $l00 for a
New Play Title.
"a Tammany Tiger" Doesn't Please
Him-Rare Chance for Amateur
PIuywrights and Others.

Jacob Lift, the well-known and successful
owner of several popular melodramas, is in
the city with his latest venture, "A Tam
many Tiger a new play from the pen OF
Il. Grattan Donnelly, which is ut the Acad-
emy of Music this week.
In company with Mr.. Donnelly Mr.. Lift
watched the performance last night closely
from beginning to end. At its conclusion
he said to Mr.. Donnelly:
The plays all right, Donnelly, but I'm
afraid of the title"
Very well; we'll change 1t. Give US an
other title answered Mr.. Donnelly.
And with these few words the fate of
the title of q new and apparently success
full play was sealed.
To Times reporter Mr.. Lift said:
There are several reasons why / OBJ
ject to the title A Tammany Tiger. Firstly.
IL gives the impression that the play is a
political drama, whereas it only skins
along the edge of politics: it has for its
foundation real, romantic love story.
Secondly, political plays or plays with
political titles have scarcely ever been
successful.
Il have other reasons for doubling the
ACCESSIBILITY of returning this title. but
these are sufficient. We haven't settled
on what we shall call it. and there's the
rub. II is not an easy matter to get q good
title for play. Now, l have proposition
10 make in good faith-
ITO any one who will furnish me a
suitable title for the play-one that gives
the story, and is apt and catchy, l will
give S100 in cash. ! have placed this sum
in Mr.. Rapley's hands. There are no re-
strctions. If the title suits me and 1
accept it, the person receives 500.
Now let those who think it an easy
matter to ohristen new plays come on with
their titles. 1 must decide the question
this week, for I've stopped all my orders
for printing for next season, pending it's
settlement.
washington is full of clever newspaper
men, believe. They sometimes tell US
how to run our business. Now. here's a
chance for them to do some real thinking
and get 500. The offer is open to all
corners, and I sincerely hope somebody
will win the money. In any case, the
tide has got TO be changed.'''

men in the South? These claimantsare grow
ing old and feeble. They are fast falling into

Mr.. Evans said: These claims are

Fields & HansOn's combination vaudeville
show opened at Kernan's Lyceum Theater
last night to play return engagement.
Many additions and innovations have been
made TO the program and "a crowded house
greeted the artists.
The program consisted of vaudeville spe-
1.-The Black Ghoul." Fields and Hanson in
their act. entitled Music Conquered. were.
or course. the attraction of the evening,
and they upheld their weil-earned repu-
ia tiOn for excellence.
Miss Phyllis Allen. who has a beautiful
contralto voice. was probably the starof the
combination. She has a voice that Is won
derfully sweet and tender. and responded to
many encores. DAILY and Hilton in spe-

were all very good.

Mr.. Charles A. Shaw's Comedians open
ed the two weeks preliminary summer
season at Aliens Grand Opera House last
night. ''Dr. Flam' was the name of the
play, though any other name would have
done as we'll
The audience at the start was not large,
but it numbered more people when the cur
tain went up than il did when the piece
came to close. Some OF the Spectators
went away after the first act. Those who
remained To see the second act wished they
hadn't. Mr.. Shaw was unfortunate in the
selection of his company. 1t was hardly
up TO concert pitch. AT the close OF the
performance Mr.. Allen concluded to cancel
his enga cement with Mr.. Shaw, and in
doing gave another evidence OF his de-
sire to supply patrons of the Grand with
only the best class of attractions. Mr..
SiIaw's numerous friends sincerely regret
the abrupt termination OF the season. but
believe that he was unable TO devote 10 the
company the time necessary TO insure
perfect presentation.
