Shakespeare got most of the plots of his comedies,
and of such tragedies as Romeo and Juliet, and
"Othelo.' The second is the great compilation
known as Holinshed's Chronicles, which contain

Remaking King
THE method of handling the material so supplied
varies greatly. Take example the play of
Richard H.. from the group of histories. The
chronicle supplies the facts of Richards career, and
mentions those noblemen who played important
parts in both sides of the struggle that ended in his
downfall Shakespeare accepts these data, creates
a personality that makes such a series of events
ineligible; and selects enough subsidiary figures
to typlfy all the chief shades OF political opinion
which the situation seems to imply. He goes
further, and fills in the portrait of the King with
subtle personal qualities: a royal exterior a power
of rousing affection in his intnates, gift of highly
poetica speech, a weakness for theatrical posing,
to luxurlate in his own misery; until we have not
merely political diagram, but real person whom
we know know few of our living contem-
poraries. When necessary he modihes facts to
serve his greater purpose; as when he makes the
Queen a woman instead of a child, that her grief
may bring out the amiabe side of her lords charac-
ter. But such invention of fact incident is sub
sidiary the great feat is in selecting, arranging,
and interpreting the material which Hoinshed
supplies
In King John " we find another method Here
the material had already been dranatized in
old double play of ten acts; and Shakespeare did
not trouble to go behind this to the Chronicle

MASKED INCENDIARIES
THEY BURN STEMMERIES OF
NEW YORK COMPANY.

LOUISVILLE, KY, December IA spe-
cial from Princeton, KY, says: The to-
bacco stemmeres Of John Steger and John
G. Orr, the latter controlled by the I'M
perial Tobacco Company Of New York,
were destroyed early today by a fire which
was kindled against them by a mob of
masked men. Several cottages in the vicin-
ity were badly damaged, but nobody was
hurt. The loss is estimated at about $17O,-
600.
The mob, which numbered about 800 men,
entered Princeton between l and o'clock
am, seized the night town marshal and
disarmed him. They then went to the fac
tories and quickly applied the torch. The
masked men stood on guard, permitting no
body to come near until the buildings were
completely enveloped in flames and help
was useless. A squad of the mob took
charge of the telephone Office and no word
of the affair was permitted to go out.
When the mob saw that the fire was be-
yond control they left the town. going in
the direction of Hopkinsville. discharging
revolvers and rifles as they departed. The
fire department. then came out, but could
do nothing more than prevent the fire from
destroying buildings in the vicinity.
The Steger stemmery was located on the
south side Of town on the Illinois Central
railroad, and the Orr building in the north
ern part Of the town.

MILLER MUST EXPLAIN
SENSATIONALLY QUOTED IN RE-
GARD TO THE JAPANESE.

There is authority for the statement that
there have been no developments to cause
any change In the additionally friendly re-
lations between the United States and
Japan, and no reason to doubt that the
complaints of the purely local situation In
San Francisco will be satisfied by tactful
diplomatic treatment. Most Of the present
agitation of the Japanese question Is said
to be due to statements attributed to Mr..
H. B. Miller, United States consul general
at Yokohama, who has been IN San Fran
cisco for several days past on his way back
to his post. The most serious statement
attributed to Mr.. Miller is that 1.-The Jap
anese are highly incensed over the seq
regation Of Japanese school children, and
to save the national dignity are willing to
go to war
Secretary Root was, not at the State De-
| partment today, but the officials there who
were approached on the subject showed
unmistakable annoyance at the apparently
systematic efforts being made to sow dis
cord between the United States and Japan,
just as similar efforts had been previously
made to stir up trouble between the United
States and Germany.
State Department officials do not believe
Consul General Miller has been talking SO
freely and indiscreetiy, as has been repre-
scented by the press dispatches. In order,
however. that there may be no mistake in
the matter he will be called upon for an
official explanation of the published state
ment that the Japanese are highly incensed
and are willing to go to war. Mr.. Miller has
served the department in the orient for
about six years, and has a good record as
discreet and efficient official. Consequent
ly the officials are inclined to doubt the
reports that he has publicly expressed SEN
sational views regarding the delicate issues
now pending between the United States and
Japan.
In case Mr.. Miller fails to give a satisfac-
tory explanation of his alleged misconduct
at the Golden Gate 1t is not at all unlikely
that he will be instructed to postpone his
trip to Yokohama to more propitious time.
II indeed it may not be deemed advisable
to transfer him to another post.

THE SAME OLD WAY.
House Legislative Subcommittee De-
cides as to Spelling Of Money Bills.

The legislative appropriation bill and the
other money measures of the coming ses-
sion of Congress will be spelled in the old
way. After discussing the complexities Of
simplified spelling some more today the
legislative subcommittee of the House ap-
preparations committee decided that Noah
Webster's method was still good enough
for Congress, and Public Printer Stillings,
who was before the subcommittee for
while again this morning, was so informed.
'Tn accordance with current law Is the
way the committee put 1t when the de-
cision was reached to throw the simplifed
proposition overheard. That's a Perfectly
innocent phrase, guaranteed not to hurt
the feelings of even the most thin-skinned
and 1t is what the subcommittee has been
seeking for several days Now that they've
found 1t everybody's happy.
The legislative bill probably won't get
before the House until Wednesday or
Thursday of next week. The hearings will
be over with this afternoon some time 1t Is
expected, but as Monday is too much Of a
washday for real work, the full committee
probably won't be able to get together be-
fore Tuesday or Wednesday. Under the
present plan, as heretofore stated, the Dis
trict of Columbia appropriation bill will
get before the House the second week of
the session.
