Cast and Criticism of Characteristic
 of Patronesses.
 The cast for the German play which is to be given March 16 has just been decided upon. The list includes the very best talent of the Irving Place is thereby assured. The parts have been assigned as follows:
 pr. Bruno Martens, Otto Ottbert Philipp Winkler,
 Alexander Rottmann Heinz Hagedorn,
 ] Richard Sehlaghamer Waldemar Scholz, Matthias Claudius Dora Lenz, Camilla Dalberg Amelie Siebert, Marie Reichardt Toni Leitenberger,
 Hedwig von ostermann Lisbeth Gerlach, Ida Frey Stephan, Diener bel pr. Martens,
 Herman Korn It will be seen that many of these names are not unknown to Yale audi ence and, indeed, most of the actors have appeared here in some of the pre- vious plays.
 Otto Ottbert has appeared here twice before-as Paul Werner" in Lessings, "Minna won Barnhelm'' and as Conrad Bolz' last year in Die Journalisten.' x His acting is always well balanced, and this year, when he has the princi- pal part, he may be counted on to do it full justice.
 Richard Schlaghamar and Matthias Claudius were both here last year-the one giving a fine representation of the printers devil Shock and the other playing the part of "BelImaus.' Alex ander Rottman took the part of "Orestes" in the "Iphigenia auf Tau ris'' two years ago. All three will give Ottbert the best of support. Herman Korn has only minor part. as he had in the 'Minnno von Barnhelm...
 Of the ladies, two-Camilla Dalberg and Ida Frey-have appeared here be- fore. F'rl. Dalberg played the part of "Adelheid" last year, and achieved an unqualified success, while Ida Frey had the rather thankless part of Ida Berg" Of the other two ladies, He'd wig von Ostermann and Marie Reic- hardt are both new to New Haven au- diences, but Frl von Ostermann is one of the two leading actresses of the Irving Place company and should become great favorite here at once. The list of patronesses for the play is given as follows: Mrs. Arthur T. Hadley, Mrs. Max Adler, Mrs. L. W. Bacon, Mrs. J. K. Beach, Mrs. F. If. Beede Mrs. T. G. Bennett, Miss Brls- tol, Mrs. Walter Camp Mrs. R. H. Chittenden, Mrs. A. s. Cook, Mrs. R. N Corwin. Mrs. F. B. Dexter, Mrs. Timothy Dwight, Mrs. w. L. Elkin, Mrs Irving Fisher, Mrs. F. D.

Dynamited For Revenge.
Woodbridge, N. j., Jan. Am ex,
plosion wrecked the hall and hotel of
Joseph Galaida and more or less seri-
ously injured 80 persons ct Keashy,
four miles from here, while the St.
Johns Benevolent Society was cele-
brating its anniversary by dance.
There were about 500 in the hall, and
one of the two exits was closed by the
wreckage. The people became panic
stricken and fought to get out, many
being trampled on and seriously in
jured.
Galaida was burned about the head
and face. His wife was thrown against
the chimney and fell unconscious to
the floor. Miss Gertrude Eilon had one
eye destroyed, her nose broken and her
Jaw dislocated. She may not recover.
Michael Ponger had his right arm torn
off at the elbow.
It is believed that some one with a
grievance against Galaida, or the So
ciety, used dynamite. The walls of the
building were blown apart and it may
collapse at any time.

IMpoRTANT MINE pEcIsIoN
Umpire Wright Says conciliators Did

Umpire Wright Says Conciliators pio
Not Grant Men 9-Hour Day.
Scranton, Pa, Jan. Elm the de-
cision rendered by Umpire Wright in
the dispute of the anthracite miners
conciliatory board regarding the Sat
urday short day" grievance of the
Schuylkill miners, it is ruled that the
contention of miners cannot be sus-
tanned and that both operators and
miners have misinterpreted the strike
commissions award on the "nine-hour
day" matter.
For many years prior to the strike,
the Schuyll1ill miners worked 10 hours
a day, generally, and eight hours on
Saturday, receiving the same pay for
the short day as the full day. After
the award of the commission, the COM
panies all through the region estab-
lished a nine-hour day with 1O-hours'
pay. This gave an increase of IL 1-9
per. cent. in wages to the men paid by
the day Umpire Wright decides that:
The anthracite coal strike commits
sion did not reduce the hours Of labor
of company men from so to 81 per
week, nor any other number of hours
to any number, as insisted in the griev-
ance. nor did it prohibit the parties to
the submission making any voluntary
agreement for their mutual benefit, or
perpetuate, or report any custom ex-
listing prior to the strike not especially
made the subject of award. This in
depreciation, it seems to the umpire,
leaves the parties just where they
were at the time of the strike, and just
where the award of the commission
left them-at perfect liberty to fix the
hours per day or per week by volun-
tary action. The commission did not,
nor can the umpire now interfere, with
that liberty.

dented demand for ID ses and car
riages would have been enough in
itself to task to the very utmost the
resources Of the undertakers, but the
heavy snow that had fallen increased
their difficulties.
The cemeteries were compelled to
keep men at work all through the
night digging graves. and in some OF
the larger cemeteries they barely man
aged to make them with sufficient
speed. At one time IA burials were in
progress in Rose Hill Cemetery, and
all Of them were the interments Of VIC
tins of the fire.
In the home Of the millionaire manu-
facturer, Ludwig Wolff, was held the
ouadruple funeral Of his daughter,
Mrs. William H. Garn. and her three
children. A crowd of more than 1000
people surrounded the house, and the
police were compelled to open a pas
sageway for the pallbearers when they
left the house with the caskets.

pened throughout the length and
breadth Of Chicago yesterday. Multi

why the Combination Does NOT Se'

$50 the japanese rice growers are not
willing 10 tackle that interesting native
institution. the American mule, with
Out the aid Of home folk" said an OBJ
servant man to the New Orleans
Times Democrat eand 1 can see where
they are right about the matter The
American mule is long cared, quick
heeled, supple TINTED mystery, and no
man. no matter how wise he may be,
can do anything with him unless he
have special training. AS matter Of
fact. the white man in America is sad
ly deficient when it comes to a work
ing knowledge of the mule. Up TO the
present writing the American negro IS
the only living person who can claim
anything like mastery when 1t comes
to the mule. Somehow there is some
thing in the nature of the black man
and the mule which makes it easier for
them 10 get along. Just what it is l do
not know. But even the black man will
have his ups and downs now and then
with the mule, and / have seen some
very interesting instances Of this kind,
one of the most amusing being that Of
an extremely hard skulled negro who
never wanted better weapon than his
head in any sort Of conflict with man
or beast.
Zone day he fell out with his mule.
Ordinarily they got along well togeth-
er. But in some way the mule on the
day in question made the negro mad,
and the fight began. In the first place,
the negro broke his water jug over the
mules head. This did not feaze the an
imal. Grabbing the mule by the ears
and taking a good firm grip. the black
man landed with vigor between the
mules ears, using his head as a weap-
on. The blow was knockout blow all
right, but the trouble was that it
knocked the negro out also. Both mule
and negro fell to the ground like dead,
In a short while both were up again,
and after that they were fairly good
friends again. The Japs are right. They
will need special training on the mule
proposition and no mistake, and the
negro is about the best man they can
get to do the training"

e OF CHICAGO
Re DISCOVERED
urtain Blocked by Reflector
arelsssly Left Open.
HALLS AND THEATRES CLOSED

Chicago. Jan. 4.-The cause Of the
Eroquois theatre fire and panic, in
which $50 persons lost their lives by
bsing burned and trampled al
most beyond recognition, has been
found. Fire Inspector Monroe
Fulkerson announced that he has
finally discovered the secret Of the
IRE. The asbestos curtain upon which
the safety of the audience depended
was, according to Mr.. Fulkerson, block
ed in its descent by steel reflector,
that had been carelessly left open
by John Schmidt, a stage hand.
While one end of the curtain got with
in five feet of the stage, the other was
suspended 20 feet above it, and be-
meath it swept the food Of lame that
carried death to so many hundreds.
The FIRST step toward a definite con-
nIuslon as to the cause Of the fire was
made when William McMullen, oper-
ator Of the "spot" light, threw the
blame upon another electric light near
By, The task was completed when Mr..
Fulkerson followed up clew furnished
By John A. Mazzoni, a stage hand, and
discovered the deadly reflector still
open in the ruins of the theatre.
On each side Of the proscenium arch
was a metallic reflector, concave in
form. 20 feet long studded through
out its entire length with incandescent
lights. Normally these lights fitted
into inches in the masonry, but when
IA use were swung out in order that
the lights might be thrown upon the
performers upon the stage. When
either reflector swung outward the de-
acending curtain could not get below
that point.
The carelessness of Schmidt result
ed IN the combination of the open re-
aector and falling curtain, which cost
500 lives. The police are searching
for him.
Beginning this morning, Coroner
Traeger and the jury impanelled to
sit at the inquest resumed its task Of
collecting evidence in the theatre
building. An exhaustive examination
OF the building was made, and particu-
lar attention was paid to any viola
tions Of the building ordinances that
may be found. In accordance with the
request Of the members Of the jury, all
sightseers, and even watchmen, were
excluded from the building while the
examination was in progress. The
Jury said to the coroner that they did
not wish any person to hear of the
questions that they may put to any
body, as they fear publicity will inter-
fere with the thoroughness Of the in
quiry.
Because of the unlimited scope that
the. coroner intends to give to the in
vestigation, it is expected that the
work of taking testimony will con-
sumo several weeks. Contractors and
all others who can give expert testi-
mony will be summoned, and the
coroner issued a notice to all persons
who were in the theatre, and who
made their escape, that he would be
glad to have them appear and give
their evidence.

When the work began, not ! per cent
of the negro adults Of the south could
read or write. Today 40 per cent can
do so. Fifty per cent of the children
are attending school, and with more
facilities more would attend. There are
500 colored physicians in practice, 800
