planning for seasons to come. Men,
bers of his companies have COM
planned bitterly Of his increasing ir-
ritation. Just before the close of
his last season, an attack forced
him to cancel engagements, and aft
err rather prOtracted illness he
went abroad in search of rest and
health. But his vacation has ap-
parently proved Of no avail, and
now he has come back to his cot
tage in the deep woods.
The physicians are convinced
that he will never act again.
"He may take his choice" they
say. HE may survive this attack
and undertake another season, but
he will be dead man before it

Mansfield is now so years old. He
was born in Heligoland, the son of
an English army officer His mother
was a famous singer under the
stage name of Madame Rudersdorff.
The boy went to Derby school in
England. and it was here, while act

that the gifted lad attracted the at

TWO STRAIGHT
ON ABERDEEN

Arthur Higginbotham performed
again yesterday and was touched
up for 10 hits by the Indians who.
at the end of 9 innings. had the
game won by score of 8 to 6, with
little trouble on account of the ex-
IRENE ease with which each
Strengthened out the slams sent
over by "the best pitcher in the
league"
Hig was "bull Of the woods" up
to the 4th inning. Then his team
mates landed with mighty arm
upon Rastus Wright. hammered
him around until balls were kept
in the air all the time and scored
6 runs. Wright hung up the dis
tress signal and Killilay, the kid
that didn't build the pyramid, was
sent in as Spokane's second offer

Aberdeen had her battle rags on,
decided that achievements were
necessary and Killilay was selected.
After that the Aberdeen bunch
made holes in the air and every
1 was round, smooth edged and
egged shaped. Not another run was
scored.
But Spokane! Arthur was pound
ed thoroughly and with gusto and
vengeful spirit. Wright, Ripley and
Suess each clouted 3-baggers. Alt

RICHARD MANSFIELD.
His latest photograph and others
picturing him in the characters OF
king Richard III" and Beau
Brummel.
en- forbid that should suggest that
you become an actor; but, should
you, if l mistake not, you would be
great one
The boy tried commerce and jour-
nalism, and dabbled a little at paint
; ing. But he was born an actor, and
he could no more help gravitating
to his profession than the bird can
help flying. He began with small
parts In comic operas in London,
and soon rose to the height of Koko
in The Mikado. His first appear
ance in this country was the Stand
ard theater, New York, as Dromez
in Les Manteaux Noirs. From that
time his rise was steady and unin-
terrupted.
Probably no American actor has
had such repertory as Mansfield.
He was a creator at all times. He
took old parts and infused into
them new conceptions. He was
particularly brilliant as stage
manager, developing tricks of stage
craft that never failed to surprise
| and delight.
Some years ago he married Bea-
trice Cameron, his leading woman.
They have 1 son, Geo. Gibbs Mans
field, said to much resemble his
father in his taste for the stage.
The Mansfield home in New York is
a handsome white stone residence
on Riverside Drive, not far from
Grants tomb.
America has probably seen the
last public performance of it's
greatest latter-day actor-manager.

He is failing in body and mind.
Famous medical men from Mon

sight of his oft-worn costumes.

complaint of John Balmer, who says
ne let Shelly take team to sell

Shelly sold the tea mfor 1925. Later
Balmer says Shelly saw him but

Railroad Man Believes Acct
dents viii Be Greatly Les
sened by Reduction of Speed
on Western Roads.

A railroad man. discussing slower trai1
schedules recently made effective on West
ern roads, says the main idea is to kee,
within tho bounds Of safety. He points out
that on the single track roads Of the wesi
there is more chance for accidents than on
The double and four-traek lines Of the East
and that To keep trains within the bounds
Of safety was one idea that impressed man
ayers foreibly when the slower schedules
We're suggested.

the end the people as d whole viii be
pleased with the reduction Of accidents and
the lcssening OF the number Killed in such
disasters Instead Of critcislng the people
ought To support the railroad managers in
this move"
Discussing what engincmen must contend
with a burlington engineer says: Western
roads have recently acquired a horror Of
fast running. Engineers schooled in the old
way of railroading when 1t was necessary
TO run fast to keep trains on time, find
tt difficult 10 get used To- the new deal
Now IL we make extraordinary time we are
called down for Il. II an engineer does a
pretty good speed stunt and brings a late
train i'm on time. he Is liable to hear from
It. More than one man has recently been
reprimanded and cases where men have
been given a short absence from duty are
not unknown. II hasn't been many yea-s
ago that the officials Of the road would look
severe at us while discussing speed PROPOSE
tlons. and the next minute smile over the
whole affair Ia a way that made us KIN NV
they were pleased. Now the schedules have
been slowed down, but they haven't been
made slow enough to take into account IN
avoidable mishaps that delay trains, So a
late train is just as frequent now as ever.
"The first thing roads in this territory
know they viii have a lot Of engineers
afraid TO make any kind OF time, and theh
the service will deteriorate, Give the ordin
arily careful engineer a clear track and ne
Isn't liable ta go beyond the danger liur
"Some Of the fussiest people on earth are

The engineer was laid of. On that part
the road engineers for years have been

there has never been an accident near there
