Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

It is probable that there are compar- atively few people who are not famil- far with the story Of Robert Louis Ste
 venson's Prince Otto" the dramatiza- ton of which made one of Otis Skin ner's greatest successes, and which will be presented by the Poli summer stock company at the Jacques next week. It is romantic novel with this differ .ence from the romantic novel as ex- emplified by Winston Churchill and others that it was written by a man
 who knew the niceties of the English language as few writers have known them and whose telling of story is not less remarkable than the tale it. self. It tells of Otto, prince reigning of the land of Grunewald, who has so far forgotten the demands of his royal station that he leaves the ruling of his realm in the hands of his wife, for whom he has nothing more than a courteous appreciation of her virtue, beauty and fidelity. and who is sur rounded by set of councillors, corrupt and fraitorous. It further runs that Otto. having won the hearts of the common people by his democracy, is despised by them for his weakness in allowing the prime minister. Gondre- mark. to carry out his ambitious de signs on the throne and his queen Gondremark tries to convert the queen to his plot and incidentally to make her love him. Otto all the time con- scious of the state of affairs, but too careless to take hand himself. Tn a sensational scene the queen kills the prime minister in defense of her honor and is forced to fly through the forest to escape the vengeful hands of the plotters. The flight of the princess as pictured by the author is one of the most wonderful bits of writing fin any literature and ends with the meet ing of Otto and his exhausted consort, who drops into his arms like a tired child. hungry. bedraggled and in rags. Then the prince realizes that the most priceless treasure of his kingdom has escaped the rayishing hands of his ene- mics and hand in hand the two wend their way out of the shadows of the forest and back into the sunshine of a brighter world. The play preserves all the dramatic incidents of the book and eliminates only the long descrip- tive passages so delightful to the read CT but unsuited to the theater Miss Hayward will play the role of the queen Earle Simmons, Prince Otto. and Horace Noble the villainous prime minister. George Hoey has a suitable part in the Jealous old chancellor, and William Lawrence will please with his rough old farmer. E. H. Burch. the new leading juvenile. will make his first appearance in the character of Fritz. and Miss McKeon will assume the personality of Gondremark's fe- male conspirator. Prices are 10. 20 and 90 cents; afternoons 10 and p cents, ladies 10.

 Steeh Exehanfe.

New York. May 27.- There Is every indication that the movement. to or ganize trading in stock exchange se- curities in New Jersey in order to avoid the New York state transfer tax effective June will be indefinitely postponed. Neither the New York stock exchange nor the Consolidated exchange management will resort to any subterfuge, but. it is understood, will at once take steps to test the laws validity.
 The Consolidated exchange man. agers have retained lawyers to take immediate legal action. possibly in the form of an injunction. Only sixty-five members of the Consolidated have so far signifed their intention of joining the New Jersey exchange thus far, and the project appears likely to be held ill abeyance.

MEETING THE BALTIC FLEET

AdmfFal Rotestvensky's Guns Trafn-
 ed on . Britiah Cruiser.
 The story of how the British cruiser Sutlej, rigged for battle, met Admiral Rojestvensky's fleet in the China sea is vividly told in the letter of British sailor to his parents in England. says the London Mall.
 The EutleJ was at Hongkong when news came of the Russian warships. and, being ready for sea. she was im- mediately dispatched south to Singa- pore. Here is the sailors narrative of what occurred:
 During most part of the following day the hands were employed in pre- pairing the ship for battle. rigging up splinter nets and getting up projectiles for every gun.
 At 5.45 on the morning of April II l was awakefled by the buglers sound ing Ealuting guns crews to your sta ions" Hurriedly dressing. rushed up to the forecastle, where found we had sighted a number of ships on the starboard bow. Great excitement pre- vailed. As they drew near they were made out to be the Russian Pacific squadron under the command of Ad- mlral Rojestvensky.
 At 6:10 we were abreast the Rus sian flagship Kniax Suvaroff. We then hoisted the Russian ensign at the fore mast head and fired seventeen gun salute. which. however. was not re- turned
 "All of sudden the nearest ship, the Oleg. | three funneled cruiser. altered her course and came steaming toward us. When at distance of about two cables she sheered off and passed under our stern with the intention apparently of seeing our name. As she approach cd we could not help noticing that she had every gun trained on us and also that her forward torpedo tube was open with torpedo ready to be dis charged.
 80 that her nationality should not be mistaken she had her largest ensign flying from the peak. Her sides were covered with coal dust. The fleet did not appear to be in any way prepared for battle, as some of the ships were seen 10 be coaling. and one was even noticed to be hoIsting out her steam boat.
 The fleet, steaming at about six knots. was out of sight by 7:45 a. m- The hands then unrigged the splinter nets, etc. and we proceeded on our way. We reached Singapore at 3:30 on Wednesday"

Superintendent Allison. Of the house
of refuge. was present, and he told how
the gambling instinct was stimulated by
the nici1le-in-the-clot machines to be
found at resorts near the city Mr., Al
Ii5on said.
Why, at one place the machines are
so crowded about by women and chill
dren that men do not get an opportunity
To gamble.
What you say is doubtless true re-
Sponded the mayor Women are more
disposed than men to gamble. That is
well known. and has abundant iliustra-
tion. Women want more for their
money"
Mr. Allison said all the slot machines
should be abolished and prohibited The
Inayor dfssented from this view. He
said:
AZ agree that gambling machines
should be prohibited. but not those ma
chimes where you arc certain 10 get an
adequate return for your money There
X the dinarence-in one you are abso-
luteiy sure to get a fair return for your
Investment while in the other you take
chance. and ii is sure the chances are
against you Some OF these machines
are merely an automatic clerk, while
others are pure gambling devices
