Meanwhile, in Paris greenrooms, though
the Rostand play and its fate are the topics
az the moment, discussion is keen too,
over the revolutionary change which has
Just been made at the Odeon by direction
Of the iron-handed NJ Antoine. Some
American and English players might not
like NJ. Antoine with whom art and the
Etaess of things are greater than all else,
but even Antoine has never aroused more
wrath among the French mummers than
that bred by his recent act in altogether
ahoishing 'vedettes'' at the famous state
theater which has just come under his
direction.
In France, 1t may be explained the
f>Tedette' is the actor or actress whose
name is displayed in the largest type on
The bills and in NJ. Antoine's new posters
for the Odeon. absolutely nobody Is thus
featured That is to say, every member
ri the company, from the "gentleman's
gentleman upward is in the list and all in
the same type. Even the order in which the
names are printed is cruelty indistinctive.
NJ. Antoine has simply followed the alpha
bet-and without putting himself at the top,
t5iher. as he cannot act in a state theater
which he directs. Thus Mile. B. has per-
force to come after Mile A, though the
former be star, and the latter the third
EHderstudy of a soubrette. Naturally the
erstwhile stars of the Odeon don't like
II. but there Is nothing to be done, for in
his own playhouse, Antoine is emphatically
''Ae-who must be -obeyed."

rHAW's COUNSEL SEEKS TO RE.
STRAIN TAKING OF EVIDENCE
IN MURDER CASE.
PROCEEDING ALLEGED TO Be ILLEGAL
PROSECUTION is USING GRAND
JURY sUBPoENAEs TO Sc.
CURE WITNESSES.

New York, July 1S.-John D. Glea.
son, one of Thaw's counsel, appeared
before Justice Blanchard in Part 2 of
the supreme court and secured a writ
Of prohibition restraining the district
attorney and the grand jury from TAX.
ing any evidence as to the killing of
Stanford White. The writ, which is
temporary, also restraints the district
attorney and the grand jury from is
suing any subpoenaes in connection
with the matter of the killing of White.
Justice Blanchard also issued an
order directing the district attorney
and the grand jury to show cause why
they should not be absolutely re-
strained from any further proceedings
in the matter of the killing of White
and against Harry K. Thaw.
Allegations on which the restraining
writ was issued allege that after Thaw
had been indicted by the grand jury
It is illegal for the district attorney to
issue grand jury subpoenaes and to
obtain further evidence for the prose-
cution through witnesses who appear
at the district attorneys Office in an
swer to the ~subpoenaes.
Thaw Constantly Watched.
It is reported that Thaw has been
watched constantly since his arrest
by q trusted prisoner who has been
detailed as an extra watchman IN the
tier where Thaw's cell 10 located. One
purpose of the surveillance is said to
be to catch as much as possible Of
what ia said at his talks with his Wis
itors. 1t is not known who set the
watch upon him, as the prison warden
refused to discuss the subject.
One report concerning the watch set
upon Thaw vas to the effect that the
supposed "trusty" who is said to be
watching the prisoner is al expert
%alienist, who has been admitted to the
prison by direction of District Attor-
ney Jerome. This report also de-
clares that the purpose Of the espion-
age is to ascertain whether or not
