Benefits arrival in Lima was the occasion OF
d good deal Of rejoicing among the PeruFlans'
who. believing in the value of the property and
knowing the great financial strength OF the
European bankers. foresaw an era Of great min
ing development in their country. Mr. Bennett
made a thorough examination Of the whole dis

av-ressed 10 the writer in Lima only a Few
4avs ago. that Cerro de PascO is the greatest

But for an unexplained reason, thought oy

SHOT HIM
IN FOOT
In the Shadow Of Death IS.
Year-OId Boy Told Truth About
Cunning Accident.

New York, Oct. 31.-After suffering in
tense pain for two days. asserting his foot
had been injured by a charge OF buclxshot
from his own gun. Charles Hasser OF
Union Hill. confessed yesterday that he
had been shot by a companion.
Fear that he would die under the opera
tion of amputating ths foot caused the
young fellow 10 tell the truth. He said
his companion had threatened 10 leave
him alone in the Hackensack Meadows to
bleed 10 death If he told the truth about
the shooting.
Hasser is Is years old and lives at No.
40i Hackensack Plank road, Union Hill
The loss OF his foot will deprive him OF a
chance of entering the navy. In which the
boy had pictured a career for himself.
Hasser and Charles Biemer, 10 years
old. went hunting on Monday morning. A
few hours later Hasser was carried TO
the North Hudson hospital. his foot
wounded by a shotgun charge. He then
said that he had accidentally shot himself
and bravely bore the pain. When told
yesterday that the foot must be amputat-
ed TO save his life he broke down and
cried.
IT would rather die than have my foot
amputated," he said; LIT will bar me from
the navy, and 1 always wanted TO fght
for Uncle Sam"
The boy consented 10 the operation
when told that even IL he lived without
the operation being performed he would
be a cripple for life. Then he told the
story Of the accident to the surgeons and
nurses.
"Biemer aimed his gun az me playfully."
he said "and said he would pull the trlg
ger. The gun was discharged and he
buckshot struck my foot Biemer was
badly frightened and said he didn't know
the gun was loaded. but l know he did.
because he did the same thing the other
day and the shot missed me.
He pleaded with me TO say that had
shot myself. / refused TO promise and
he threatened to leave me lying where
was TO bleed 10 death, so / gave the
promise. Now that / am In danger os
death I do not consider myself held by
the promise"

HIS new Play
Glen ACDonough Chats on Mod
erniyof "AmOng Those Present.

A little group was gathered the other
afternoon watching the rehearsal of
Among Those Present" which win be
played at the Providence next week.
Seems 10 me there ought TO be more
melodrama at the end Of that third act"
suggested the ingenious observer
ION the contrary" spoke up Glen Mac
Donough. the playwright, 1.-THE quiet was
premediated. The noisy play is no lon
ger IN vogue. You remember the '"Girl
Left Behind Me-? Well that was about
the last OF the red dramas, and the
actor who should below and strut today.
20 say nothing OF the playwright who
gave him the lashy lines would be
laughed at"
But don't you believe in stirring cli-
maxes7" inquired the innocent specta tor.
Yes. but there are different ways OF
stirring people. one IL 10 shout at them
and get bsck in the face by doing so.
Another Is TO impress them by ones sin
cerity and earnestness. There's a way
20 leading up 20 dramatic ciinaxes IN
which the nerve tension IL simply tre-
mendous. yet hardly q voice is raised over
conversational pitch. The quiet curtain
Is the thing. Not even our comic opera
comedians deem 10 necessary as they
used 10. 10 howl and shrek. makes faces
and be beaten with slapsuclts.
For instanceT'
"wen. take Alexander Clark IN The De-
fender He doesn't over act. uses no
props and yet pleases the people. And
there are others"
"Realism( then" for the last time
ventured the willing learner. "is the chief
thing sought IN Among Those Present7'
Mr. MscDonough carefully disposed
three chairs a table and a dummy jar
diniere in their proper positions for the
nnal act. He gazed. thoughtfuIly m the
ofiing returned 20 earth and condescsnd-
ed Yes. realism n not reality. This
play IL as full of dramatic tricks and de-
vices as ANYTHING ever written, and ~
stimulates The truth ard that's the main
thing. No old-fashioned soliioquies. no
stage aides. Merely the dramatic ele-
ments from a few lives. without fanfare
