ACTION BY COURT.
Appointment Of Receivers of Metropo.
lis View Syndicate.

lis View Syndicate.
In connection with the appointment by
Chief Justice Clabaugh Of Paul E. Sle-
man and Irwin H. Linton as receivers to
take charge of the affairs OF the Me-
tropolis View syndicate. the action Of the
court was based on the suit filed recently
by twenty stockholders OF the Metropolis
View syndicate against Mrs. Georgia B.
Denison, the widow, and the heirs Of the
late William o. Denison.
Charges of mismanagement of the syndi-
cate business and Of the exercise of undue
influence by the widow over her late hus-
band, whereby, 1t is alleged, he was in
duced to convey to her certain large inter-
ests in the syndicate without adequate con-
sideration, are contained in the bill Of
complaint.
Mrs. Georgia B. Denison. widow of the
late w. o. Denfson, filed an answer to the
rule recently issued against her to show
cause why a receiver should not be ap-
pointed. Mrs. Denison says she ,has never
at any time supposed herself possessed Of,
or claimed authority. nor has she any de-
sire to exercise any acts Of ownership over
the property vested in her late husband as
trustee for the Metropolis View syndicate
She says she does not claim the right to
retain the custody of any books or papers
relating to the syndicate property vested
in her husband at the time of his death.
Besides the books and papers which re-
late exclusively to the syndicate property.
Mrs. Denison says, there are some contain
ing entries affecting that property, but also
containing entries affecting the property
and interests of other persons, and these
she claims the right to have protected
from the custody and examination Of
strangers. She consents to the appoint
ment Of receivers.
The answer is to the rule only, and does
not enter into the merits of the charges
made by the complaining syndicate men,
bers.
Attorney ]. J. Darlington represents the
widow, and consented to the appointment
of the receivers.

LONDON, December 15.-Parliamentary
circles here show much interest in the pros
pect of James Bryce's appointment to the
ambassadorship at Washington, and some
of the Irish .aembers asked the chief secre-
tary for Ireland IL they might congratulate
him. Mr.. Bryce did not deny the report.
but merely replied: You must not believe
everything you hear"
Should Mr.. Bryce go to Washington 1t Ii
by no means certain that Winston Spencer
Churchill. now under secretary for the
colonies, win take his place In the cabinet.
as has been suggested Thomas Shaw. the
lord advocate for Scotland, man of great
ability is said to be anxious to obtain the
Irish chief secretaryship. The fact that
filling the vacancy will involve q by-election
favors the appointment Of Mr.. Shaw. whose
seat is safe. whereas sChurchi1rs seat at
Manchester is now regarded as being far
from secure.

Representative Townsend's bill for the

the transportation Of government mails or
the free movement OF interstate and foreign
commerce was under consideration yester-
day by the House committee on interstate

In explanation of his bill Mr.. Townsend
said that the arbitration Of the anthracite

sire to settle their differences without In
reference, and many employers may have

fish view does not take the welfare of the
public into consideration" He urged pub
licity as remedy for wrongs of all sorts.
Mr.. Townsends bill provides that there
shall be interference only where the Presi-
dent IL convinced that Interference IL nec-
essary. Investigations are to be made by q
commission of seven men, two of whom

CARRIED OFF SAFE.
Burglars Remove Strong Box and
Blow It Open.


Special Dispatch to The Star.
EAST WILLISrON, L. l., December 10
Burglars entered the home of Charles Oak
ley, ST.. on the Westbury road, between mid
night and 3 o'clock yesterday, carried
away a 1880 pound safe and blew it open
500 feet from the house. They got several
United States bonds, other valuable papers
and some old silverware and jewelry. It
Is thought that the burglars hoped to make
a big haul. as day before yesterday Mr..
Oakley closed a deal to sell his farm for
$125. 900. The money, however. had been
placed In a bank In Manhattan.
With Mr.. Oakley are his two daughters,
q married son and his wife and two children
and three servants. The burglars entered
by the front door, using a skeleton key.
They gathered up all the rugs and pillows
and strewed them along the hall to the din
ing room, where the safe stood Then they
pushed the safe to the door. They must
have lifted 1t on q truck to cart 1t to the
rear Of the Ice house. where 1t was blown
open. Mr.. Oakley discovered the robbery
this morning when he came down to break
fast. Wagon or auto tracks were found
leading from the house in the direction OF
Wheatiey Hills.

a MONG some playgoers and critics
~ there has been disposition to
"A crfticise H. B. Irving for counting
4 comparison with his father, Sir
Henry Irving, by playing the
seme parts A certain well-known dra-
matte critic cherished this sentiment so
deeply that he recently declined to review
performances by young Irving of parts In
which he had seen his father play. A
number of actors sons have played their
fathers parts without dimming parental
luster, yet with credit to themselves.
Booth, Sothern, Hackett, Salvini. Wallack,
Jefferson, Clarke, Barrymore, Drew and
many others are examples OF actors sons
who have deserved their success, quite
apart from any inherited glory.
Some Of those who regarded the late
Henry Irving with an ELECTION amounting
almost to veneration have resented the
action Of the son In counting comparison
with the father.
Making all allowance for the affection
in which Sir Henry was held, there seems
certain injustice in this attitude, for on
the stage, Of all professions, talent has
been most clearly demonstrated to be
hereditary. Many Of our great actors have
been the sons and even grandsons OF great
actors and 1t has not tnfrequently hap
pened that the later generations have even
earlier ones In succsss.
~
One Of Mr. Winters greatest idols. Ed
win Booth, was the son Of wonderful ac-
tor, Junius Brutus Booth. Yet those who
knew the work Of father and son never at
tempted to discredit the younger because
he assumed his fathers roles. The genius
was entirely different. Edwin Booth was
a great student, a wonderful master OF
elocution and the subtler shades Of ex-
preston, whereas Junius Brutus Booth was
considered q wild uncontrolled genius. who
was wonderful or mediocre, according to
his moods.

erations, including the present Thomas JEFF

siderable success.

PITTSBURG FEVER RIDDEN.
Eight Hundred Typhoid Cases in Al
legheny County.

PITTSBURG, Pa, December 15.-Owing
to the crowded condition of all the hospitals
throughout the city the bureau of health
authorities has been compelled to place ty-
phoid fever patients in the municipal hos
pital, nine persons afflicted with that disease
being there now. There is room only for
eleven more typhoid patients in the hospital,
and if the present rate of such cases keeps
up that many more patients will be adj
mitted. The smallpox ward has been turned
over to the fever patients. Thirty Eight cases
were reported to the health bureau yester-
day.
It is estimated that at least 400 persons
are Ill with typhoid fever in Ptttsburg alone.
With Allegheny and the boroughts Of Allie

cent Of those In which the father had made
his reputation there was come criticism
But years have gradually obscured It, as
Sothern progressed steadily till he has
reached point in public consideration that
his father never attained.
The Warrens are remarkable cases OF
Inherited talent taking the same direction.
William Warren, father and William War
rem. son, were both comedians of a similar
style. who played the same parts and with
equal success.
line Of dramatic ancestors. His father.
John Sleeper Clarke was foremost
American comedian of about thirty years
ago. and on his mothers side Creston
Clarke was q nephew of Edwin Booth.
The distinction Of his parentage gave
special consideration to Clarke. more prob
ably than IL he had appeared as unknown.
yet he mapped out his own course. which
differed widely from that OF thee elder
Clarke. Instead Of taking to comedy. Cres-
ton found his forte in ragedy. and has
played many Of the parts Of his famous
uncle.
E. L. Davenport, a contemporary of the
elder Sothern. was one Of the most YER
satile OF actors, who could play anything
from farce to tragedy. He left a family
that added luster to the name The
younger q. L. Davenport has rated we'll
as a serious. painstahing actor of good
schooling. Harry Davenport has enjoyed
a measure Of varied success. and Fanny
was star for a quarter of century.
Many other families might be mentioned
that have had representatives on the
stage from generation to generation, and
to whom the parts of their ancestors have
descended as a dramatic Inheritance. The
most noted Falstaff Of a quarter OF CEN
fury ago was Hackett, whose son Is now
rated with our leading romantic actors.

daughter call to the mind their talented
father, Maurice, and mother, George

ACTORS SONS WHO HAVE
ASSUMED FATHERS ROLES

to the fact that he was a grandson Of the
famous Joseph Jefferson.
His father was also an actor. his mother
an actress, Mrs Burke. And Jefferson. who
Just passed away, handed at least some
measure of his ability to the present actor,
for the latter has been very kindly dealt
with by the critics. Nor has 1t occurred
to any one to accuse him of a lack of fllial
regard to appear In the noted part his
father had made hts own.
-
The late Alessandro Salvini was essential
ly an American, though an italian born.
for most OF his stage experience was gained
in the United States, and it was here that
most regret was expressed when his bud
ding genius was nipped by death.
Salvini was the son OF a noted actor. per-
haps the foremost of his day, Tomasso
Safvini.
At the time Of his death the younger
Salvini was developing repertoire which
included a number of the parts that had
marked his fathers successes.
Tomasso SaIvinfs greatest role was
''Othello." He had played in 1t every part
Of the world. and with players OF every
tongue. 1t was as peculiarly his own as
Hamlet" belonged to Booth. or Rip to
Jefferson. yet he manifested no resentment
when his son planned to appear before
Americans in the role Of the Moor In fact
he coached him and gave every possible as
SlSt anCe.
Lester Wallack was another foremost fig
ure of the American stage who labored
under the disadvantage of being his fathers
son. He modestly, when he assumed his
fathers roles, tried to cover I'D the rela-
tionship. by having his name printed on
programs as Mr.. Lester. but the public
that remembered the acting Of his father.
James Wallack, never would separate the
two, but came in time to pay full tribute
to the son.
John Drew had the same experience. His
father and mother had both been great
favorites as exempfars of the old school
Of comedy. But the talents of their son
did not lean to the classic. He was more
the snappy, up-to-date type. Briefly. he
was blamed for the difference, because he
did not assume his fathers parts. but
eventually the playgoing public came to
give him credit for following the bent Of
his inclination. and instead of being a
mere copy of his father to develop his
own original parts and talents.
E. H. Sothern had an experience some
what similar His father. E. A. Sothern,
