r. OR several weeks the center of the
stage in New York theatrical af-
fairs has been occupied by the case
of James S. Metcalf, dramatic critic of
Life, versus the Theatrical syndicate.
The outcome Of the trouble will be far
reaching in it's Importance, and as a
consequence it has attracted unusual
attention throughout the entire coun-
try.
The theatrical syndicate has made
either servant or an enemy of nearly
every paper in New York and it is
difficult to find any statement of the
affair which is not colored one way or
the other. This far away from the
scene of strife it appears that the man
ayers have made blunder from the
results of which it is difficult to see
how they are going to make peace with
honor.
Shortly after the Iroquois fire Life
and Erlanger considered to be libelous.
Suit for 100000 was brought against
James S. Metcalf, dramatic critic of
Life, and the paper itself. On trial
in the United States circuit court in
New York the case was decided in
favor of the defendants. Almost
Immediately thereafter resolu-
ton debarring Metcalf from all
the theaters in control of tie syndicate
was passed by the managers associa-
ton. Metcalf visited each theater,
with a herd of newspaper reporters
following in his wake, and at most of
them he was denied admittance. He
has now commenced legal action, with
the hope of proving his right to enter
a theater for which he has purchased
a ticket and also with an idea of OBJ
tanning damages for being denied such
admission.
President Daniel Frohman, president
of the association, gives as the reason
for debarring Metcalf that it was be-
cause of the attacks of Life on the
Jews as a race. Life may have been
guilty to some extent of this offense
~ 4 the intelligent Jews of this country
may not look with favor upon the
theater managers association as the
proper champion of the race and they
may not approve of its methods. In
deed the Jewish Times, a leading
Hebrew journal Of New York, inti-
mates boldly that the anti-Semitic
question has been dragged into the
question merely as cloak.
There is no denying that the methods
OF the theatrical trust have continually
met with opposition on the part OF
theater-goers. members of the profess
sion and dramatic critics. Los Ange-
les has certainly no reason TO feel in
debted to that association. The local
theater under it's control has this sea-
son averaged a standard OF art below

pointed heroes whose lives in almost
any other pursuit would have achieved
some share of satisfaction which the
subordinate actor never knows. Now,
my boy, divert your mind at once into
different channel, and regard the
theater merely as an occasional relaxa-
tlon from practical business strain,
and one Of these days you will thank
me for my interference"

MASON OPERA HoUsE-(Advance

MASON OPERA HOUSE-(AdVance
Announcement. David Harum" is
announced as the attraction at
the Mason opera house, Monday
Tuesday and Wednesday, March 13,
IA and Is, with a Wednesday matinee.
Theater goers will have an opportu-
nifty of seeing this admirable play at
popular prices. Julius Cahn's company
appears in the production, with Mr..
William H. Turner as David Harum.
In making UP for the role Mr.. Turner
devoted a great deal of study. The
result Is that the actor is entirely lost
sight of when he steps before the foot
lights. He is Harum that is seen, the
stout, medium sized, shrewd old chap
with the cunning yet kindly eye and
the mouth that is so expressive. Turner
makes Harum more or less bald. with
thick fringe of reddish hair meeting
his old fashioned runabout collar.
There is the wart on his cheek and
the ruddy complexion of a man used
to being out a great deal in the open
air. The success of the play presageS
very long life for it, and much of it's
favor is obtained through the capital
Characterization that it contains. There
are three acts in David Harum," and
all of its scenes are laid in bonneville.
N. Y. The play is a clever and remark
able dramatization of the book and re-
tains everything that had any value in
the story. The horse trade in the open
ing act is described as being one of
the best and most humorous scenes
ever unfolded in a purely American

Washington at Saratoga.

Booker T. Washington's appearance
at dinner recently in the great dining
room of the United States hotel at Sar-
atoga caused a mild sensation among
the diners. Mr. Washington was the
guest of John Wanamaker, former
postmaster general, and acted as es-
cort of Mrs. Barclay Warburton, Mr..
Wanamakers daughter. while Mr.
Wanamaker walked to the table with
]. r. E. Roberts. AS they walked down
the long line every eye was directed
upon the distinguished negro educator
and the former Cabinet officer Com
paratively few of those present recog-
nized either of them and there was
a general buzz Of comment and cram
ing of necks.
Mr.. Washington preached at Sara
toga three times. first in the Presby'
terian church, then in the Baptist
church, and late in the evening in the
American Methodist church.

Life Is Safest at Sea.

Acting Secretary Murray Of the De

received a report from Collector Stran-
ahan Of New York, showing during the
last three fiscal years ended June 30,
1905, from the ports of Europe, 1882
934 steerage passengers embarked for
New York, of whom 423 died on the
voyage or about twenty-five deaths per
100000 Iassengers.
Allowing twelve days for the aver
age voyage the rate is equivalent to an
annual death rate of about six and one
half (G.5G) per 1000.
The last federal census shows the
annual death rate per 1000 in 1900 In
New York City was 20.4; in Washing
ton 22.S, and the lowest rate for large
American cities, st. Paul, Minnesota.

New Version Of 20. X"

Now comes a fourth version. Gen.
Warren keifer, in the Archaeological
Quarterly, says that in Urbana, Ohio,
in 1910, when the Harrison campaign
was in progress, a Whig farmer drove
into town with this legend painted on
his wagon: THE people is OIL Korrect."
The Democrats made fun of the spell
ing. but Whig tavern keeper near
Springfield stuck the letters 20. X"
over his door, where they remained
until the building was torn down, in
1901. This seems more probable than
any of the other statements. The use
of 20. X" however it started, has long
been widespread and respectable. Col
lege presidents. Danll officials and even
proofreaders find the initials indispens-
able in their business.

PRESSURE FOR PEACE
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT IS BUSY
Great Powers Uniting to Bring Russia
and Japan to Agree On
Terms.

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 21-TLH
chances OF peace undoubtedly have i'm
proved by President Roosevelt's action
in stepping into the breach in last
heroic endeavor to induce the warning
countries to compromise their cir
reconcilable differences" but the re-
suit is still in suspense. The ultimate
decision of the issue has de facto If
not de jure passed from the plenipo-
tentiaries to their principals. from
Portsmouth to ST. Petersburg. and per-
haps in lesser extent to Toxic.
Although there are collateral evil
dences that pressure both by President
Roosevelt and neutral powers, includ-
ing Japan's ally, Great Britain, whose
minister, Sir Claude Macdonald, ac-
cording to dispatch received here.
had a long conference yesterday after
noon with Mr.. katsura, the japanese
premier, is still being exerted at Toxic
TO induce Japan to moderate her de-
mands, there is also reason to believe
that President Roosevelt was able at
this interview with Baron de Rosen to
practically communicate to the latter's
senior. Mr.. Witte, Japan's. irreducible
minlmum-what she would yield, but
the point beyond which she would not
go.
Whether an actual basis of compro
mise was proposed by the President
can not be stated definitely. The only
thing that can fIe affirmed positively is
that ii Russia refuses to act upon the
suggestion or proposition of President
Roosevelt the peace conference Will
end in failure. And in the Russian
camp little encouragement is given.
Baron de Rosen reached here. after
an all-night ride from Oyster Bay.
shortly before noon, and Immediately
went into conference with M. Witte.
They remained closeted together for
almost three hours, during which the
whole situation was reviewed. Baron
de Rosen communicated to his chief
the Presidents message and 1t was
transmitted to the emperor, together
with M. Witte's recommendation.
No clew to the nature of this recon.
mendation has transpired. But 1t can
be said that NJ. Witte. no matter how
he personally may view the PROPOSE
tion, Is distinctly pessimistic as to the
character of the response which will
come from St. Petersburg.
To n confidential friend this after
noon he offered little hope Of a change
in the situation.
The japanese. it is firmly believed.
cling to the substance of the form OF
their demand for remuneration 1or
the cost of the war"
Perhaps they are willing to decrease
the sum asked, but substantial com
pensation under whatever guise 1t is
obtained, they decline to relinquish.
And they also are firm upon the ces.
sion Of Saghalien. By the transfer of
the southern branch of the Chinese
Eastern railway first to Japan for re-
linQuishment to China, payment for
the maintenance of the Russian pris'
oners and the surrender of the Rus
sian war ships, 1t is possible to figure
out total transfer to Japan in money
and property OF about $25O,OOO,O0O.
But this is the limit
The Japanese rs usual are very reti-
cent and it is impossible to obtain
from them the least indication of their
view of the change in the situation
produced by the Presidents action.
