STORIES OF WOE
MOVED THE JUDGE
TWO TRESPASS CASES WE'RE BE-
FORE THE POLICE COURT YES.
TERDAY-JUDGE FEAcIN TEN.
PEERS JUSTICE WITH MERCY.

There were two interesting and pecu-
liar cases before Judge Feagin yesterday
in Frank Clayton Wright of Mississippi
and Herman Oachs of Australia. Both
were arrested Thursday night for tres
pass on the railroad yards, and both
told a pitiful tale of trials and tribua-
lions.
Wright was a sailor. He tells of trips
on the seas and how finally his ship
sailed into port and he disembarked and
moved with the current into Brming-
ham. He begged that his fine be made
light, as he was a gentleman and did
not wish to disgrace his family. Judge
Feagln tempered justice with mercy and
let the sailor off with 80 fine and adj
vice that he had better go before the
mast again and leave here for foreign
ports. as this was an unsafe harbor
FOR wayward seamen to anchor.
Wright, according to his account, was
first on the Brooklyn, where he served for
some time, and then was transferred to
the Vesuvius. and then to the torpedo
boat Mickey. He was present at the
battle of Santiago, and was on the boat
which was stationed out in the mouth
of the harbor to pick up any of the sur
vivors of the attempt of the Merrimac
to run the gauntlet. He watched Hob
son in his attempt with the boat which
was sunk, and lay out in the harbor all
night and part of the next day. He
paid his fine.
Oachs tells of his German descent and
how he came all the way from Australia
to attend school near Birmingham. His
story deals with hardships en- route, and
how he finally landed at the Normal
school near Huntsville of which Professor
Council is the head. lie says that they
admit whites and blacks both at this
school, and that was the reason he was
admitted. His pleas for mercy were as
pitiful as those of Wright, and the heart
of his honor was moved by the peculiar
ly pathetic appeal in the mans voice He
likewise was fined 81, and is still. in the
city Jail, as he did not have the money
with which to pay.

ADJUSTMENTS.
an ths Palace Of tho klna.n

Helen drantiy, pretty and clever
young actress errayed the role OF pona
Maria Dolores in "The Palace OF tho
King at tho Jefferson lhst night, and
her Interpretation Of the part seemed to
please tho large audience which was
gathered.
There is no doubt that Miss GRAVITY 10
good actress, but she should not have
tried such part as that created by Viola
Allen in such a play as THE Palace OF
the King" There is certainly a future
In store for Miss GRAVITY, but 1t should
come as the end of a natural climb
through humber parts to such one as
Dolores. There is the lack OF finish about
her acting, and the want of vocal power
which makes the role of Dolores too high
for her. She has neither the strength
of voice or physique for the heavier parts
CT the play.
Were the company at the Jefferson last
night to appear only in places where
Viola Allen "a not go in her tour, the
production would easily be heralded as
exceptionally good Following as 1t does
the circuit made by Miss Allen It to some
extent makes comparison ''odious.' To
those who saw the Allen production. its
handsome stage settings and the acting
Of people in the cast who almost reached
the rank of stars, the production last
night was tame. The play Itself is too well
known to need comment OF one kind or
another.
There are two bright spots in the COM
pany. Many court fools have appeared at
the jefferson In plays Of this character
within the past year, but not one has
been so clever as II. c. Ford In the role
Of MIGUEL de Antona, known as Adonis.
In every way he played the part of the
humpbacked fool, and no fault could be
found Virginia Bayly as Dona Inez, the
blind sister of Dolores, is another strong
exception to the weakness of the cast.
She has a difficult role and she plays 1t
! well.
Marshall Welch failed completely to in
spire the audience with any feeling when
he made love to Dolores, or with any
sympathy when he was wrongly accused

awkward in his actions and reading trip

lone, be enioined from using the secret
work of the United Brothers.
Judge Sem, after reviewing the case,
has decided that the Independent Broth
ers must let the United Brothers and
their secrets alone for the present. No
more can the Independent Brothers give
the grip and the pass words of the Mys-
terious Ten, and no more can they bring
the blindfolded candidates into the fold
marching to the music arranged by the
United Brothers.
1t is said the United Brothers, including
their Mysterious Ten, are very jubilant
over their legal victory, and in colored
society stock in that select organization
has jumped several points In the mean
time the Independent Brothers and their
Mysterious Ten are saying nothing but
are busily engaged in saving wood It
may be that they are preparing some
new mysteries and will yet rival the
brothers and sisters who have temper
arily put the mout of business.

Certain Property Owners Want City
Council to Take Up Matters Again.

Although the city council. at its last
regular meeting, Indefinitely postponed
action upon the ordinance providing for
the paving of Fifth avenue from Nine
tenth street to Twenty-seventh street
with bituminous macadam the matter
will probably be called up again at an
early meeting.
It Is understood that several of the
property owners along Fifth avenue who
want the avenue paved have entered pro-
tests against the action of the city coun-
ell on Wednesday night with reference
to the ordinance, and will ask that the
matter be called up again for its second
reading by the city council.
Chairman Walter Moore of the street
committee of the city council stated last
night that several property owners have
spoken to him about the paving ques-
ton since the meeting of the council
Wednesday night.
Action upon the ordinance was indef-
initely postponed by the council upon mo-
ton of Alderman Henry B. Gray, second
