SP|TEFUL.
Attempts Made to Injure Amer
lean Dramatic Productions.
ADJUrANr GENERALS REPORT.

London. Sept. 12-The disposition to spoil
American theatrical productions by or
ganized noise is becoming Increasingly
evident since the clamor in the gallery at
the production of "The Whirl OF the
Town." BY George b. McLellan's COM
pany, at the Century Theatre last night
The reception accorded VIM. Gillette in
his production OF Sherlock Holmes
Monday, at the Lyceum Theatre. was at
first considered to he detached incident.
But the uproar with which the production
OF 1.-THE Whirl OF the Town was greeted
is taken. along with the automatic out
cries at Nat Goodwin's best situations in
when We Were Twenty-One,. at the
Comedy Theatre. and the applause with
which an English girl Evie Greene, Is
greeted In Edna Mays production OF a
musical version OF Kitty Grey" at the
Apollo Theatre, are considered as indi
eating a persistent desire TO make things
disagreeable for American managers and
players.
The newspapers treat the subject con-
spicuously. as protest against American
control OF several London theatres and at
the production in English owned theatres
OF American plays. AS one critic says,
"The Gods were having their revenge up
on American management"

A TREASURE SHIP HELD FOR TRIAL.
Sullivan, Accused Of Assault on
Wife, and Her Defender. . 3

John NJ. Sullivan. who was released
from jail three days ago is in very
fair way to return to its hospitable por-
tails.
John lives on Ives street, and it is evil
dent that either he is not on good terms
with his better half, or else he ''spatted'
her little harder than love-taps usually
are given, and In doing so aroused the ire
of Michael Cronin, who interfered and
also was assaulted.
IL was stated that Sullivan had been
drinking and so gave vent TO his feelings
by abusing Mrs. Sullivan, who is said
10 be a hard-working woman,
He struck her. and beat her badly.
Cronin hearing the trouble rushed In 10
take Mrs. Sullivan's part. and ran up
against her irate husband. Sullivan
struck Cronn i'm the face and on the body.
This morning he pleaded not guilty 10
both charges. and he was held for trial,

II was i'm Chicago not long ago and
looked into the matter of transfers there
quite little. There. the transfer tickets
are given by the conductors and IL works
like a charm.
81 see no reason why we can't have
similar system OF transfers here
II am against transfer stations and
certainly am against giving any land 10
the Union Railroad company for that pur-
pose"
Alderman Dennis Mccarthy was OK
tremely emphatic I'm his opinion on the
transfer question.
81 think we have given the Union Rail-
road company enough already TO enutle
US 10 the right kind OF transfers" he de-
clared. Il would not vote TO give them
another ounce of land.
''The idea OF transfer stations is the
most impracticable thing i'm the world.
would certainly vote against transfers by
any such method as the Union Railroad
suggests.
i am in favor OF transfer tickets only
and of course. am in sympathy with The
News i'm this matter.
Alderman Winsor. while somewhat more
cautious in expressing his opinion, de-
clared himself heartily I'm favor of trans
fers and strongly opposed 20 giving any
land whatsoever. to the Union Railroad

the way they spent the time on Fri
day, and were allowed to remain at
liberty.
The inquest developed a number of
contradictory stories. The statements
OF Mrs. Lubbock, and Oscar Lewis and
H. Rooney were diametricaIly opposed
to each other. and then Longrin, a cook
at the Star Oyster House, testified in
line with the story which Mrs Lubbock
told the jury.
The autopsy showed that deceased
had been drowned, but had probably
been rendered unconscious by a ter
rife blow in the abdomen with some
hard surface.
Shortly after p m. the inquest was
commenced, and it dragged on until
midnight. Captain Dalton was the
first witness called.
TIE EVIDENCE
Captain Dalton testified that on Sat
urday morning a man named Dillon
told him that there was a body float
ing near the pilot house. Some one
had told Dillon. Witness went and
looked at the body and put rope
around 1t. He noticed that the collar
of the coat, and the mans shirt were
badly torn. a couple of men drew the
body up to the sea wall. Witness
could give no information concerning
Lubeck's death. He said that it was
perfectly still water where the body
was found, and that the action of the
water could not have torn the shirt.
a. DIR. MCDONALD.
DR.: Mcdonald stated that he per-
formed an autopsy on Lubeck's body
on Saturday. He found that there were
three trifling abrasions not skin deep
on the head, and no external marks
nal cavity revealed a bruise which
must have been caused by a blow of
some hard substance on the exterior of
the abdomen. The blow must have
been a terrible one. Otherwise. the
abdomen was in a perfectly healthy
condition. The cause of death was
drowning. There was no fracture of
the skull. The blow in the abdomen
must have been hard enough to render
the man unconscious. A blow from a
fist could not have produced the in
jury, but the application of a mans
knee, with the victim in a reclining
position might have done so. 1t was
impossible to say II the wounds on the
head We're ante or post-mortem. The
body had probably been in the water
for five hours. The man might have
been thrown in the water unconscious.
MRS. LUBECK.
Mrs Lubbock, the wife OF Herman
Lubbock, testified that she last saw her
husband alive at o'clock on Friday
evening. He said that he was going
to the postoffice. He was perfectly So
Der when he left. The letter he went
for was from his mother. Mrs. George
Eherline wac present at the time. He
said he would be back shortly. There
was no i'll feeling between Mr.. and
Mrs. Lu5eck. He had previously told
his wife that he had had trouble with
Oscar Lewis On Monday or Tuesday
night Lewis and Hackman Rooney
came to the house in a two-horse rig
and told Mr.. Lubbock that there was
a job for him down at Brewers wharf.
Mrs. Lubbock got into the rig, and they
all drove off. Lewis jumped off at
Likelike street and walked away
quickly; he told Lubbock that he would
