MRS. LESLIE CARTER ENJoINED.
She Must Produce "Cleo" as Royle
Saws or Not at All.

NEW YORK. January 31.-Justice Leven-
tritt Of the supreme court granted yester-
day the application of Edwin Milton Royle
playwright, for a permanent Injunction re-
straining Charles B. Dillingham; and Mrs
Leslie Carter-Payne from staging or pro-
ducing the play "Cleo," of which Mr.. Royle
is the author.
Royle objected that Mrs. Payne and her
manager had altered the lines and stage
effects OF the play to suit their own ideas.
He insisted that the contract between them
ca.ied for the production Of the play as he
wrote it or not at all and that also he had
retained in the contract the right to super
wise the production and to insist on the
obedience Of the actors to bis ideas as the
author Of the play.
Dillingham; and Mrs. Payne insisted that
the changes made by them were merely
beneficial and necessary for the success of
the production. Justice Leventritt says
that as the work is undoubtedly Royles
the court cannot apply the canons of lit
erary taste to modify the contract. The
public alone can determine the literary
ethics Of the situation.

DENIES LAWYERS STORY.
Miss Wieboldt Says She Didn't Try to
Die With Father.

CHICAGO, January 31.-Edward P. Lang
worthy, attorney for William r. Wieboldt.
the once wealthy merchant and board OF
trade operator, informed the police yester-
day that Wieboldt, who has been missing
for several days, threw himself in the lake.
His daughter, who also has been missing.
was said by the attorney to be secluded
with friends in. this city.
It. was claimed by the police that VIE
boldt had set fire to a store which he ope-
rated In the northern part of the city. and
they have been looking for him.
According to Mr.. Langworthy, Wieboldt
jumped into Lake Michigan, near Lincoln
Park about O'Clock Saturday night His
daughter Martha, between whom and her
father there existed strong attachment.
pleaded with her father to let her die with
him. but he refused and insisted that she
live to defend his memory. According to
the statement made by Mr.. Langworthy,
Wieboldt, before committing suicide, de-
clared that he did not attempt to burn the
store, but said that 1t was useless to at,
tempt to live the charge down.
The statements regarding Miss Wieboldt
made by Mr.. Langworthy were later re-
futed by Miss Wieboldt who declared that
she knew nothing regarding the disappear
ance Of her father, and said that she was
willing to give the police all possible aid

KNIFE SAVES WOMAN.
Engineer on Sinking Boat Cuts Her
Loose From Engine.

Engineer on Sinking Boat Cuts Her
Loose From Engine.
PALM BEACH. Fla. January 31.-One of
the strangest motor boat accidents In the
history Of Lake Worth occurred here. Two
fine gasoline boats collided and were de-
stroyed, and Mrs James Clark Of Philadel
phia narrowly escaped with her life. Her
skirts caught in the machinery displaced by
the collision. and had to be cut away before
she could be assisted to one Of the boats
nearby.
There was not more than twelve or fif-
teen feet Of water in the lake at the point
where the collision occurred, but such
hole was torn in one boat, the Bruiser, that
before Mr.. Clark could free his wife and
toss her to another boat that ran alongside
he was above his knees in water.
The accident occurred because Mr.. Clark
attempted to cut corners by passing under
Choir, at the same time the Katharine was
passing alongside the Alcora. Both small
boats had just finished a race. Mr.. Clark
saw his mistake. and quickly altered his
wheel, but lessened the force of the blow
only little. The Katharine struck the
Bruiser amidships. and cut through her side
as II she had been cheese. The Bruiser
sank in few minutes. but the Katharine
was hauled out before she completely filled
and was taken to West Palm Beach.
Mr.. Clark said this evening that the force
Of the collision threw his wife face forward
upon the exposed machinery of the boat.
In an instant her skirt had caught the
rapidly revolving shaft, which began wind
ing 1t up. The engineer cut her loose with
sheath knife, but not until the inrushing
water had nearly covered her.

ERIE CANAL GRAFT.
Men Employed by State Worked on
Private Property.

ALBANY, January 31.-Superintendent Of
Public Works Stevens listened to a recital
Of petty graft on the Erie canal at hear
ing yesterday in the case Of Section Super
intendent Frank b. Seeley, who was re-
moved during the Franchot regime of the
department. Seeley declared 1t was be-
cause he took sides with Irving L'Homme-
dieu In his fight with Franchot for the re-
publican senatorial nomination in the
forty-seventh district, Seeley made serious
charges against certain officials of the de-
partment.
In the effort by Superintendent Stevens
yesterday to learn what basis there was for
these chargesstt developed that the state
has been robbed right and left; that prop
the use Of individuals: that men under
state pay have been marked OF to work
on the farms Of canal officials; that state
machinery has been used miles from the
canal by private individuals; that canal
boat men have had to pay 50-cent tips for
service at the locks, and that the Franchot
administration paid 800 for detective
work" to get something "on' Seeley In Or
der to discharge him.
As a result Of the investigation there is
no doubt that Superintendent Stevens will
institute reforms in the department of pub
lie works. He thanked all who had con-
tributed to his fund of information regard
ing actual conditions on the canals and
let 1t be known that all such information
would be welcomed: moreover. that IL there

SHOOTS DOWN FATHER
NEW YORK BOY FIRES TO SAVE
HIS MOTHER.

NEW YORK, January 31.-Driven des-
perate at the sight OF his father beating
and choking his mother. and unable to
make him quit his brutal treatment, Alfred
Llewelyn. jr., last night shot and MORALLY
wounded his father.
Father, If you don't quit beating mother
I'll kill you" the young man is reported
to have said.
The reply of the father to this was an
oath and a chuckle as he continued to beat
the mother. The son then took revolver
and fired one shot. 1t went into the fathers
brain. and he fell like log.
The Llewelyns are the janitors Of an
apartment house, 1898 I'd avenue. Last
night, while the three were at supper, sew
eral of the tenants complained that there
was insufficient heat in the house.
We'll, go fix it yourself retorted
Lewelyn, who is said to have been drink
ing.
Wife Beaten and Clicked.
Fearful that the tenants might complain
to the landlord, the wife and son went to
the .steam-heating plant and fired up.
When they returned to the living rooms,
Llewelyn, 1t is said, had worked himself
up into a passion over what he termed their
interference with his business, and pro-
ceeded to beat and choke the wife. Then
1t was the son tried to protect the mother.
After shooting his father, Llewelyn, who
is nineteen years old, telephoned the Flower
Hospital.
There's man dying here; please hurry
the ambulance, said he.
The lad went to the room where the
father lay unconscious, and took seat.
watching him until DR.. Day arrived.
With the arrival of the doctor and the
announcement by him that the father could
not live the boy lost his nerve. He said
the shooting had been accidental. He said
he had been hanging the revolver on a
nail when the nail caught the trigger and
1t was discharged.
Shows Bruises to Police.
Detectives Skelly and Eggers Of the East
9th street station were assigned to the
case when 1t was reported to them by the
hospital authorities, and, after getting the
statement of the boy, questioned the
mother. Little discrepancies aroused sus-
picions, and the police say the mother broke
down and confessed.
After much questioning the mother told
the story and showed the bruises on her
throat and arms where she had been choked
and beaten. She pleaded with the police
not to arrest her son. She declared her
husband frequently got drunk and every
time found an excuse for beating her.
Their son, she said, was a good boy and
was unable to cope with his father phys
ically, and it nearly killed him to see her
being beaten. Young Llewelyn after being
arrested refused to make any statement.
At the hospital last night the father was
operated upon. The surgeons, however,
said there was no chance of his recovery.
Llewelyn is forty-six years old.

IMPRISONED BY FIRE
NARROW ESCAPE OF WORKMEN
IN NEW YORK BLAZE.

NEW YORK. January 31-Workmen in
the six-story office and loft building at the
southeast corner of Hester and Elizabeth
streets narrowly escaped with their lives
when the building was destroyed by fire
last night.
Max and Isidor Israel and ten men en-
ployed by them were at work in a coat-fin-
ishing room on the fifth floor until the
flames had burned out the lower floors and
had licked their way up the stairway al
most to their door.
Their first warning came when Max
Swimer, the superintendent of the building,
burst in their door with the startling cry
that the whole building was In flames.
swimmer had struggled through the fire and
up the stairway just in time to reach the
top before the steps fell in. He and the
workmen ran for the rear windows, ex-
pecting to find fire escape but the near
est one could be reached only through an
adjoining loft.
Broke Down Partition.
With the strength of panic-stricken ter
ror the men threw themselves against the
partition. It gave way, and through a win
dow they climbed to fire escape and down
It to within fifteen feet of the ground.
Swimer straddled the opening and one after
another he let the men down into the arms
of Policeman Joseph Martin.
There were about twenty men In the
building when the fire was discovered in
the basement by Swimmer. He first tried
to extinguish the flames by small hose,
but they had already gained too great head
way. and he ran to the street to give an
alarm.
Policeman Martin. who was on post ran
back to the building with him, but swimmer
was the only one to get through the flames
which barred the main entrance.
When Chief Croker arrived in the auto
mobile, accompanied by Fire Commissioner
Lantry, he realized the danger to two large
tenements standing on either side of the
burning building and at once turned in
four alarms. which brought twenty engines
fifteen trucks and two towers to the scene
Sitting in his machine, Chief Croker d.
rected the fight against the flames amid
drenching shower of spray from a broken
hose just behind the automobile. He esti-
mated the loss at $4,000. Otto Lorenzo Of
161 I'd avenue Is the owner of the building.
1t was occupied by dozen firms, most Of
them manufacturers Of electrical contriv-
ances. The first floor was occupied by the
German buckwheat mills.
