forced into doing so have liquidated long

PLAYWRIGHT DEAD
Brother Of the Late Abbie Sage
Richardson Passes
Away.

New York, Dec. 24-Wm. Francis
Sage, the playwright and dramatic
critic, died at his home in this city
today. He was a brother of Mrs.
Abbie Sage Richardson, who died in
Italy about a fortnight ago.
Since receiving the news Of his
sisters death, MI. Sage had been very
respondent and it is believed that the
shock of her death brought on an at
tack of paralysis. Mr.. Sage had
suffered from two former attacks of
the same malady.
Sage was born in Manchester, N. H.
After his education he was for a time
in the stationery business with his
father in Boston.
Twelve years ago he came to this
city. Since that time he has been
engaged here and elsewhere writing
plays, composing operas and as dra-
matte critic. His great ambition, his
wife says, was to become a successful
playwright, but only n Of his nu-
merous plays was yer produced. That
was called Destiny and was pro-
duced at McVicker's theatre, Chicago,
and had a run Of two weeks. It was
founded on Dickens "Tale Of Two
Cities.'

LONDON PRESS MORALES
Standard Declares That Christmas
Finds Britons in Chast-
ened Mood.

London, Dec. 24-There is no sign
Of the dependency which character
lied "Black December last year. At
the same time Christmas festivals find
little cause of extreme satisfaction.
The press regrets that the nation is
still at war. Some papers take the
trouble to remind their readers that
theirs are as many troops in South
Africa nov as there were 10 months
ago, and all engaged in monotonous
and wearisome duties against a van
ishing foe and needing the sympathy
Of friends at home at this season.
The Standard which says that
Christmas finds the British people in a
chastened mood, moralizes upon the
strange lack Of political foresight re-
garding the character and wisdom of
the operations against the Beers. 1t
confesses that Everything has long
since been done that wcald have been
possible to end the war, if we had
been contending against one of the
Europeans powers" 1t expresses con-
fidence, however, that final settlement
is only a question Of time.

DEvERY CHARGED WITH PER
M1TTING VICE.
STATEMENT BY TAMMANy
If He Chose Could Free New
York Of Vice in
Two Hours.

New York, Dec. 24-The Tammany
committee Of five at a meeting here
today issued the statement that Chief
of Police Devery could rid the city Of
vice in two hours if he SO chose.
They further say they will present
the facts to the grand jury in the
event of no immediate action being
taken by the police.
Chairman Nixon presided at the
meeting. Several members of the po-
lice department. appeared before the
committee and said that the places
mentioned in the list given to Chief
Devery by Chairman Nixon were
closed. A majority Of the places
were gambling dens and disorderly
houses.
After an executive session Of two
hours Chairman Nixon gave out the
following statement: "The list Of
suspicious places handed to the police
is by no means complete and we shall
be guided by developments as to whom
and how they shall be made public.
Ny object is to close such places and
by closing them demonstrate to their
owners that those who have taken
money from them for protection lack
the power to protect.
emo matter what party is in office,
about the same sort of men will be
FOUND farming out immunity. Every
department. Of the city government,
except the police department., is doing
good work.
II am satisfied by what have found
that the chief Of police could close
every gambling house and pool room
in the city in a few hours. Their
motive now is to show that these
places are not protected by the Tam
many organization and further than
that show that a system which has
existed during this and preceding adj
ministrations can be stopped if the po-
lice department can be induced to act.
"Single handed, a commission with
power can remedy existing abuses, not
only for a time but permanently.
The bipartisan police commission and
excise department. are sores on the
body polite and they should be re-
formed jointly, and they will be when
the people come to a full knowledge OF

ence to Them
