CABRERA HOLDS
HIM PRISONER
New York Lawyer in Jail
at Guatemala City, Denied
Either Trial or Freedom
FRIENDS EFFORTS FAIL
City of Sydney Brings News
of American Attorneys
Plight in a Foreign Land

The steamship City Of Sydney, which
arrived yesterday from Central Ameri-
can ports, brings word Of the plight In
Guatemala City Of a New York law
Yer, Gardner by name. Gardner is, and
has been for months, in the Govern
nent prison. The efforts of his friends
have awaited nothing to secure release
Of or even trial for the imprisoned
American, who was sent TO jail in the
first instance, IL is said, for alleged
contempt OF court.
Gardner was a passenger on the City
Of Sydney about six months ago from
Panama to San Jose de Guatemala. He
was on his way TO Guatemala City to
press the claim Of client against the
Government. AS far as the people on
the City Of Sydney could learn these
claims arose from the Governments al
legged failure to keep faith in the mat
ter Of certain concessions made to
Gardeners client.
Gardner is said to have made a
strong showing, but before the matter
was decided the Judge found the Amer
lean lawyer in contempt and soldiers
conducted Gardner TO the cell he still
occupies
United States Consul winslow, sta
toned at Guatemala City, is said to
have championed Gardner's cause, but
Winslow's efforts are said to have been
rendered futile by the inaction Of Unit
ed States Minister Leslie Coombs
Coombs and President Cabrera are said
10 be very friendly and at San Jose It
was said that Gardner's stay in jail
would probably last as long as the law
yer was likely to renew his battle in
the courts for his clients claim against
Cabrera.
According to passengers on the City
of Sydney the feeling in Guatemala
against Cabrera is intense. The pros
pect Of any immediate revolution, how
ever, is said TO be remote, as Cabrera
has established a spy system, by
means of which he is kept informed Of
every move his enemies make. The
5ails in Guatemala are filed with men
suspected of designs against the chief
executive. The revolutionary force
formed in Mexico has been dispersed
by Diaz and the disconnected citizens
Of the republic are at present in far
from an organized state
About a year ago Cabrera made a
law declaring the paper money Of the
republic Of Guatemala legal tender for
all debts Germans and other foreign
ers have large sums invested in Guate-
mala. This money was lent on the I'M
derstanding that repayments should be
on the gold basis Cabrera's new law
substituting paper money, of which it
takes s13 TO SIS TO equal 81 in gold has
amounted TO a Reputation Of these OBJ
legations. Hoping for a. repeal Of the
law or a revolution which would bring
a new man 10 the head Of affairs in
Guatemala, many claims have never
been presented. Under the law the
debtor cannot force the creditor to ac-
cept the paper money unless the cred
ltor makes a demand for payment
when he is obliged to accept what is
little better than stage money.
Cabrera controls the army, however,
and for the present is the whole thing

Joseph Campbell. a machinist's help
er, met a horrible death yesterday In a
machine shop at Sixth and Folsom
streets. His foot was caught in re-
volving shaft, which whirled him
around. His skull was fractured by
striking a post. The injured man was
removed to the Central Emergency
Hospital, but he died shortly afterward.
About quitting time Campbell went
to finish a task near the revolving
shaft. In some unaccountable manner
his trousers were caught in the shaft,
and in an instant he was circIing
through the air, his head striking a
post at every revolution. Another en-
ploye of the shop ran to the mans as
sistance and stopped the machinery.
When released he was unconscious.
Campbell lived at Eighth and Natoma
streets and had wife and two chill
dren.

rather badly in the matter of publicity.
Nevertheless yesterday and last night
saw the room crowded with camera

AlcaZar.


The initial production Of the ro-
mantle comedy, TON Moore" at the
Alcazar last night was highly credit
able in every detail. The piece Is
founded upon the life Of Ireland's
greatest poet and fairly bristles with
witty lines and quaint epigrams. John
Craig in the title role has q part much
to his liking and brings all his talent
to bear in the representation. While
his brogue is not quite the real ar
ticle, still Craig makes up for the de-
ficiency by his painstaking efforts in
all the other requirements of the part.
Lillian Lawrence is indeed a pretty
picture as Bessie Dyke, the Irish girl
in love with Tom. She acted with in
telligence and her love scene with
Moore was cleverly done. Elizabeth
Woodson and Mary Young played
small parts admirably and Laura
Adams was irresistibly funny as Mrs.
Malone. Harry Hilliard acted the
part of Lord Mora admirably and
John Maher was a close second for
the favor of the audience as Buster.
John Davies was an excellent Prince
polished villain of Sir Percival Love-
AuIiffe were the best of the remaining
the first act was a laughable affair
and was made doubly interesting by
the singing of Harold Forman, the boy
soprano. The play was well staged
and the costumes magnificent.

Her GeniuSGiYenFine
Scope In THE Lady
Paramount"
WORK AT
OTHER THEATERS
Central and AlCdzdr
Present Bills Of
Strength.

One of those peculiar plays. which
In the hands of any other but real
soul-stirTing actors would be dismal
failure. but which, with Margaret Ang-
lin and Frank Worthing in the lead
ing roles, is brilliant exhibition of the
art which is next to music and poetry,
was the offering at the California last
night. 1t is titled THE Lady Para
mount" freely adapted from Henry
Harland's novel by Madeline Lucette
Ryley, and is in three acts. the first of
which is preparation, action and the
dawning of an exquisite love story. the
second jealousy, mistrust, indignation
and separation, and the third repent
ance and reconciliation.
IN all Of these moods Miss Anglin
proves to be the lady paramount In the
superb art that makes of herself and
the character one and the same per-
son. In the SECOND act the phases of
coquetry, the tender love passages
yelled with a flimsy cloud of the light
est humor, were deliciously portrayed.
Miss Anglin is an artist almost infinite
in her variety, of chameleon power,
of protean changes, and no matter
how diverse and opposite even these
may be, the moods fit her like her
own cuticle.
IT'S a far cry from Camille to Susan
ma, Countess Of San Paolo, but In the
one Miss Anglin is Camille and in the
other she is Susanna, but never Miss
Anglin Rare, indeed, must be the
talent that can pull successfully against
the musical and social attractions of
Lucia di Lammermoor," done by the
Conried company, but Miss Anglin per-
formed that seemingly impossible task,
and filed the California Theater with
an audience Of gala gowned women and
men in evening dress.
If the comedy had been written spe-
cially for her it could not have af-
forded her any more opportunity Of de-
picting the feeting phases Of love and
coquetry in her own unapproachable
way. Nor was the audience slow to
realize the artistic treat, and curtain
calls were frequent and persistent
enough almost TO destroy the illusion
of the play. Frank Worthing was an
admirable help to the star. He has a
delightfully."- breezy way of making love
almost as if he meant it then and
there on the stage-and the realistic
manner IN which he personated the
jealous lover in the second act fully
justified the stars outburst of resent
full Indignation. Mrs. Thomas Whiffen.
that sunniest old woman on the Ameri-
can stage to-day, assisted in the sue
cess Of the presentation. All the work
was done by these three, the rest of
the company being merely the filing
in.
There is not much action in the
comedy. There are no fireworks of bril-
liant repartee, no flashes Of unexpected
hunor, nothing but e charming and
original love story told in the most
simple way and directly catching hold
of the sympathy and interest Of the au-
dience. It ends as we all want such
stories to wind up-with happy mar
riage after the misunderstanding has
giles made.

AS drama Of patriotic interest,

Central last evening. Not alone did
the play interest the school children,

AS is we'll known. the midnight ride

warn the ninutemen of the enemy's
approach forms the nucleus of the
plot. Juliet Crosby's bright genius
was shown with splendor last night,

ample opportunity to display the tall
