and when The Shepherd -Alng" is pre- Sented to the public it is firmly believed by those who have witnessed the pro- gress of this production that then all will realize that the stage has found a new master in Wright Lorimer.
 Whatever may be the outcome of Mir. Lorimers efforts, no one can doubt the courage of his convictions when he, un- known as yet to fame, so confidently carries his cause to the very citadel of criticism, and regardless of tradition and precedent believes that young man can accomplish great things on the stage without waiting until he has passed into that maturity that has lost the vigor, TO- nance and enthusiasm of youth. It is egoism, but not egotism.
 Since the death Of the young Salvini there has been no worthy representative of romanticism on the stage, not because Of lack of gift or perhaps genius; but be- cause the glow and fire and daring of youth has been wanting.
 Many believe that the Renaissance of Romanticism is at hand. Will Wright Lor- inner do for the stage what Petrarch and Boccaccio did for literature?
 Miss CahilPs Nancy Brown"
 Daniel " Arthur. manager of Miss Ma rie Cahill in Nancy Brown" has en- gagged Chevalier Silvi Hein, the Italian orchestra leader as musical conductor of Nancy Brown the clever musical play in which Miss Cahill is starring.
 There Is a general cry that musica; comedies are frivolous and unimportant, and there Is much truth in the criticism. Serious musicians allege that the melo- dies of light musical pieces are merely jingles and their musical construction of no consequence; yet Chevalier Helms en- gagement was due to the fact that more than ordinarily well-equipped leader was necessary to conduct the difficult pas sages In the score of Nancy Brown"

PooIroom Men May Order His Arrest
on Charge Of oppression-Subpoenas
For Western Union Men--A Strong
Statement by Jacob n. sehiff.
New York. May 24.-Renewed activ-
ity on the part of the police in their
crusade against the poolrooms resulted
in forty-ive raids. i'm which sixteen
prisoners were taken and 124 tele-
phones and two telegraph instruments
conhscated. IL was one OF the greatest
raids in the history Of the police de-
partment and surpassed in importance
even the raids of last Friday.
Among the places visited was one
said TO be owned by Representative
Timothy ID. Sullivan. Two men were
so astonished at the temerig Of the
police in visiting the place that they
attempted to assault the raiders. The
pair were arrested and locked up, de-
spite their assertion that somebody
would be broke" for making the raid.
Other places visited included those OF
Percy Levine and Leon Stedeker.
whose pull with Tammany was
thought to make them safe. Several
exchanges" from which racing infor-
nation was disseminated. were swoop-
ed upon and telephones conhscated.
End Of the Poolroom Business.
These raids. il is said. put an end to
the poolroom business in this city for
time OF least Most OF them were
made on information furnished TO Com
missioner McAdoo by the New York
Telephone company. and It was said
by the poolroOm men that hereafter II
would be useless TO install telephones
in their rooms. as that would be the
surest way Of inviting a visit by the
police.
There are other interesting develop
ments in the gambling situation in this
city. II is said. in behalf Of some Of
the men arrested in the previous raids,
that an application will be made with
in a day or two 10 a justice of the SUI
preme court for an order Of arrest for
Commissioner McAdOo on a charge Of
oppression.
other developments in the poolroom
situation are the statement of Jacob
II. Schif that sooner than accept a dol
lar from the racing business the West
ern Union would throw its entire re-
ceipts into the street and the serving
Of subpoenRs on Superintendent Dealy
and his assistant Mr. Mitchell, Of the
former racing department Of the West
ern Union. A subpoena was served
also on "Frenchy," known as the most
expert lineman in the employ Of the
company. Mr.. Jerome said the sub
poenas were not served in any action
he contemplated against the Western
Union or any OF its officials. but in a
"John Doe" inquiry directed against
one Of the telephone exchanges main
tained by the poolroom men.

REPUBLICAN HARMONY
PROJECTS MUST WAIT
Situation in Illinois and Wis
consin About the Same
AS in Delaware

A dispatch from Washington dated
yesterday says; The situation in Wis
consin and Illinois Is about the same
now as It is in Delaware. Senator Ball.
from the latter State, saw the Presi-
dent today, and talked with him about
the prospects there. Ball is of the opin-
ion that the national ticket is safe
enough in Delaware, but Is desirous
that nothing should be done by the
party managers to strengthen the
hands Of Addicks.
No plans have been devised by the
Administration leaders for harmonizing
the warning factions in Illinois and
Wisconsin. In the former state It is
impossible to tell what the situation
win be until the State convention re-
conyenes and nominates the state
ticket
In Wisconsin. the trend sentiment
may take, whether for or against the
administration, will not develop until
the national convention shall have re-
cognized one of the factions and the
indignation OF the other makes itself
manifest.
In the meantime the Republican
managers are hoping that whatever
party discord may continue through
out the campaign will not affect the ma
tional ticket. Strong efforts will be
made to bring about harmony. at least
so far as the national candidates are
concerned.
For the present the hands Of the
President and his advisers are tied
They cannot interfere in Illinois with
out running the risk of making the sit
uation worse than 1t is at present, nol
is there any chance TO labor for har-
mony in Wisconsin until one or the
other faction has been recognized.

ARGUMENT CONCLUDED.
Harriman's Suit Against Northern o.
euritics Company.

Trenton, n. j.. May 24.--Argumeni
has been concluded before Judge Brad
ford in the United States circuit court
here in the case of the application OF
+. II. Hartman and Winslow s. Pierce
10 restrain the proposed plan Of dis
tributlon OF the assets OF the Northern
Securities company, which was decld-
ed by the United States supreme court
to be an illegal combination. The con-
cluding argument for the Northern Sc
curlties company was made by John
G. Johnson of Philadelphia. and W. ID.
Guthrie Of New York closed the argu-
ment in behalf Of the complainant.
The argument on both sides turned
largely on the question as to the title
to the Northern Pacific stock which
Hartman and Pierce put into the COM
bination and which amounted to about
S79,O00,0OO. The main contention Of
Mr.. Johnson was that the stock had
become the absolute property Of the
Northern Securities company and that
II was perfectly legal for the Northern
Securities company 70 carry out the
pro rata plan OF distribution upon
which the company had agreed.
Mr.. Guthrie's principal point was
that by reason of the Illegal combina-
tion title to the Northern Pacific stock
had not passed from Hartman and
Pierce and that in consequence they
were entitled TO have returned to them
the particular stock which they put in
to the combination and which involved
the control Of the Northern Pacific
