VERY MUCH ALIVE.
Reports of the Rev. Phillips Death
 Are "very Much Exaggerated"

Columbus. Ga, March 6.-tSpecial.)- Rev. E. D. Phillips of MeHenry, Miss, a Methodist minister, formerly pastor in Columbus, denies that he is dead. Sev- eral days ago it was reported here that his death had occurred in Mississippi: that his remains had passed thrpugh Co., lumbus, and that he was buried@near Sa- vannah. The local papers published his death with nice obituary notices.
 Today letter was received by a Co., lumbus paper from Rev. MT. Phillips in Mississippi saying that his family were receiving numerous letters of condolence from Georgia friends over his supposed death. The reverend gentleman insisted that he was very much alive. and that the reports of his death. as in the cele- brated Mark Twain case several years ago. were 'very much exaggerated" Just how the rumor of his demise got out Is not known. but it was current among his friends here.

BRITISH VESSEL
 HELD AT MANILA
UNCLE SAM Is INTERESTED IN 5 NAVAL CASE IN CONNECTION
 WITH RIGHTS OF NEUTRALs IN 
 TIME OF WAR.

Washington, March 6.-Upcn the advice of the department of state, Secretary Taft has cabled to Governor General Wright at Manila permission for the Brit ish steamer Carlisle to remain in Manila harbor until she has made necessary re- pairs to her machinery. Therefore the United States government itself Is re- sponsible for the safety of the ship until this is done.
 70 he status of the steamship is peculiar, and in adopting this attitude, as the re- suit of an appeal from the ships captain, inc state department has added another and new construction of international law relatively to rights of beligerent ships in neutral harbors to the several cases de- yeloped by this war.
 The Carlisle is a British ship and conse- quently of neutral ownership. But she was chartered by the Russian govern ment and loaded with arms, ammunition and food supplies for the Russian garri- son at Port Arthur. She sailed from Vladisvostok November 20 of last year for Port Arthur. The Japanese blockade around the fortress was effective, and the Carlisle was in the unpleasant position of being unable to make landing there, and at the same time could not return to Yladvostok
 There was no other Russian harbor in that quarter of the world. so that all that could be done by the captain of the Car iisle was to turk outside the blockade lines awaiting a chance to slip through Pui while he was 300 miles east of Yoko- bama the Carlisle lost her propeller and iay helpless for many days
 Finally sail was made on her and the sh was worked into the harber of San Miguel on the east coast of Luk,n. The captain and the supereargo. the latter ussian came to Manila and sought pro- tection for their ship. The state depart ment was consulted by cable and recom- mended granting the request so the Car lisle was lowed to Manila. The point of interest Is what shall be done with the ship when her repairs are complete, but 1t is probable that as Japanese warships are reported to be lying in wait for her outside Manila harbor. she will be per mitted to intern on the same conditions as were imposed in the case Of the Lena at San Francisco.

Arizona"

There are few habitual theatergoers who have not seen Arizona" The play Is so typically American in theme and that its popularity continues unabated. The locale gives opportunities for strik- ing stage settings, while the characters presented give free scope to the ability of the actors.
 The Bijour theater was well filled last night with an audience to witness the re- turn of Arizona for the first time at popular prices As a whole the play was we'll presented The company which ap- peared last night contained several play CTS who were excellent and others who were not up to their parts, but the story was unfolded in q way that held the at tention and the ability of the stronger members of the cast made it interesting The audience was we'll pleased-so much so, in fact. that frequent curtain calls were answered. AN
 Charles H. Halle, as Henry CarNy, owner of ranch in Arizona and Va rugged type of the west, was excellent. His figure suited the part admirably, while his acting was clever He suc- coeded in putting the bluffness, the broad generosity and the sympathy into the part that 1t demanded. MT. Halle. as Henry Canby is refreshing. He stirs one's sympathies and at the same time creates laughter by his unconscious hu- nor. Edward Farrell played the part of Lieutenant Denton, the hero who suffers disgrace to shield a wQman's name, but Is cleared of all blame in the end. MT. Farrell is well suited to the role he es- says and he was enthusiastically ap- plauded last night.
 Other members of the company who showed talent were Miss Marie Quinn, as Bonita Canby; Ada Clifford. as Lena Kellar the main, and Robert Deshon, as Tony Mastano, the Mexican in love with Lena. MT. Deshon acquitted himself creditably in part not at all easy to play. His portrayal of the fiery-temper- ed southron was realistic. In the strong scenes he was convincing without ex- aggeration. While Miss Clifford did not have many lines, she made the most of her opportunities. Miss Quinn played the part of a young girl in a way that was pleasing.
 With a more evenly balanced company. Arizona" would be improved. no doubt. but the company at the Bfjeu this week is above the average seen in popular priced playhouse. and the offering de- serves place among the better attrac- tions that have visited the theater this season.

William H. Crane.

There are few actors on the stage more popular than William H Craze, who will play at the Jefferson theater tonight in new French drama, Business is Busi- ness" American theatergoers have learned to idolze MT. Crane in those plays like David Harum," which illus trate the national traits, but they will not be disappointed in his departure for this season. "Business Is Business is a powerful drama, and while it is nearer tragedy than anything MT. Crane has yet attempted, his success as Lechat, the grasping Frenchman, has been pro- nounced.
