tation from the French Of Bissen and
Care, which was played a few years ago
with marked success by Maude Adams and
John Drew. was given by the Columbia
Stock Company last night. THE Masked
Balf' is typical French farce, and at last
nights performance there was not a dull
moment in any one of the three acts. The
various members of the company were cast
to excellent advantage in the piece, and
each player won individual commentator.
Charlotte Walker as the young wife who
loves a good time and who gets into trou-
BILE in consequence, gave an excellent per-

her ability to trifle with the lighter side of
life well to depict the deeper emo

roles assigned to her during the past two
weeks. Mr. Guy Standing also scored
marked success as the debonair DR.. Blon-

HELD FOR GRAND JURY.
Man Charged With Entering Dr.. Stu
arts House.

John jackson, colored. was arraigned In
the Police Court before Judge Scott this
morning charge Of house breaking at
the house of DIR. A. Rhett Stuart. at Z Du-
pont circle. early Sunday morning. At
the close of the hearing Judge Scott or
dered the prisoner to be held for the action
of the grand jury.
Nora Johnson, colored the servant In the
house. who called the police to the place,
told a graphic story of the coming of
Jackson. About 2.30 o'clock Sunday MORN
ing, she said. she was awakened from a
sound sleep by hearing some one mutter-
Ing on the outside of the house. He kept
saying: Come, boy; come on. Why don't
you bring me drink of water? Please
hurry" He kept repeating this. and she
thought some one was sick outside and
went out. But she saw no one. She was
afraid that the man was coming into her
room. and she went up stairs. The man
kept mutterfng at intervals. He entered
the house through small basement win
dow. While she was UP stairs she heard
the man inside the house. Then he called
up the stairs: George, George" She ex
pressed the opinion that 1t was a drunken
man, and that he acted as if he was at
home. Then she telephoned for the police.
When the officers came they found Jackson
apparently asleep on lounge. Nothing
In the house was taken.
How long after you heard him talking
did the officers Gomez" asked Assistant
United States Attorney Given.
About five minutes"
Did he have on his shoesT'
mo The detectives found him without
shoes or hat"
Attorney Darlington made an appeal for
hearing of the defense of the case, as
he stated he had certificate from a doctor
stating that he had treated Jackson for
insanity of a mild form
Judge Scott, sitting only as committing
magistrate, decided that prima face case
had been made out and he held Jackson
to await the action Of the grand jury. In
default of $500 bond he was committed to
Jail.
Speaking Of the claim made by Jackson
that his father was once employed by Dr.
Stuart. DR.. Stuart said today:
John Jackson's father never worked for
me, nor have l ever seen John Jackson,
the man who entered my residence at $3.50
o'clock Sunday morning. Therefore he was
not familiar with the interior of my house;
but no doubt would have become intensely
familiar with it's interior and all things
pertaining thereto had 1t not been for the
timely and wonderfully prompt answer of
the excellent police department to the
maids call for help over the phone"
