LONDON, Aug. 17.-Extraordinary
facts came to light at the inquest held
at Gloucester on the body of Joseph
Hasselman, an animal tanner who was
mauled to death by a lion at the Glou-
cester Palace of Varieties.

Copenhagen, who is touring this coun-
try with six lions and cubs, said that
when she was called to the theater Sun
day evening one of the lions was loose
in the dressing room. The cage was
across the door and Hasselman, who
had his arms round the lions neck, said:
"Oh miss, what have 1 done?"

of Frank Higgins, stage hand, had
found the lion in the dressing room and
after putting the cage across the door
had entered the room with an iron bar
in his hand and tried to drive. the animal
into the cage.
Then" continued Higgins "Hassel-
man threw a chair at the lion, and the
animal bit it through He afteEward
threw a second chair. This the lion
seized and then flew at Hasselman
holding him by the shoulder.
"The lion did not growl. but stood dig
ging it's claws into Hasselman's should
ers as though wanting to play. 1t had
it's mouth over his head, but did not at
tempt to bite him."
Death resulted from shock and loss of
blood The jury returned a verdict ac-
cordingly and found no one to blame.

MANY YACHTSW0MEN
ATTEND C0WES REGATTA
Feature Is So Marked That Already
the Forthcoming Gathering Has
Been Designated "The Wo-
mans Cowes"

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON. Aug 17.-More women owners
of yachts were in evidence at the
recent meeting at Cowes than at any
time in the history of the great regatta.
The famous meetIng has been named the
.'Woman's Cowes" this year, and an in
teresting fact in connection with this
feminine function is that not only did
a number of well-known ladies command
their own yachts, but they have gained
their masters certificates
The Countess of Annesley is one of the
best known of these fair mariners. She
is equally at home in any craft, from the
small rowing boat to the more imposing
steam yacht.
Lady Londonderry is also we'll known
at Cowes as an enthusiastic yachtsWoman.
One of her most interesting experiences
on the water was on the occasion OF the
half-yearly practice of the North Sands
lifeboat at Hartlepool, when she insisted
on wearing the regulation Jacket, and
took charge of the helm, putting the boat
through a series of complicated exercises.
Lady Ernestine Hunt has studied navi-
CATION under a naval instructor at Liver
pool. and passed the difficult board of
trade examination. She knows as much
about the sea as many expert master
mariners.
American Yachtswomen
Among the American yachtswomen who
frequent Cowes every year are Mrs. Al
fred Vanderbilt who sailed her yacht
Caprice in the last New Year regatta;
Mrs. George Gould, who holds master s
certificate; and Miss Jane Morgan,
daughter of ]. Pierpont Morgan. Miss
Morgan holds captains license, and is
known in yachting circles as the Girl

YVETTE GUILBERT
ATTACKS AUTHORS
Says Present Day PIaywrights Are a
Very Sorry Set and Tells
Why She Thinks
II Is So
Special Gable to The Herald

Special Cable to The Herald
PARIS, Aug. 17-MAdame Yvette
Guilbert, accused of having given out
art recently, has written a letter to the
Figaro in which she gives expression to
still more radical ideas. Her remarks
are principally directed against dra-
matte authors, whom she handles with
out gloves. She says:
"The author ignores, or will not adj
nit, that despite all his efforts he never
produces anything but a half-dead
child. The talented actor animates,
nurses, consolidates, fortifies and
clothes it, suggests the proper gestures
and attitudes, infuses his own health
and strength into this weakling, gives
it blood and. so to speak, makes 1t live.
The playwright contributes the soul,
it is true, but the soul being intangible,
it is only pitiable gift as far as dra-
matte art is concerned.
There are many literary authors, but
very few real playwrights. With the
former the actors are driven crazy, ano
with the latter they are wiped out.
Under the pretext that they know their
meter the professional playwrights
substitute their own mapnerisms for
the instructive art of the interpreter
fed, whereas the actor has only
achieved an art made up of constraint,
and has become q servile parrot in his
hands, photograph or photograph
and no real artist.
FroWn on New Talent
Again, while authors no doubt some
times write without adapting their
work to given artist, they neverthe-
less persist in choosing an artist for
given role. Hence the absence of new
talent as we'll as of really new plays.
There are, on the other hand, play
wrights who know that an actor who
has certain originality may change
his nose, his beard and all the rest, and
still remain himself. This sort of
weakness or paralysis of expression
constitutes for this actor triumphant
force 1t is his talent never to be the
character imagined by the author, but
to remain eternally himself. One
might even ask why writer's get differ
ent names for such characters, as A or
u is always transparent in whatever
role he plays. Authors are completely
extinguished by such interpreters and
yet they often seek them out, and make
it a mere question of lucre.
"Of course I know there was
Shakespeare, a Racine a Moliere and
some others, and from them one should
ask advice and not give it. What
pity they had no descendants! In fine,
as not all authors have talent, and still
fewer genius, their force would be in
having only a relative sort of pride,
ana in admitting that an actor is not
necessarily an idiot, which is their gen
eral opinion.
The plays of our times are nearly all
saved by their interpreters, who are, by
the way, also the great inspirers of
modern playwrights."

REVOLT IN YEMEN
PROVES FORMIDABLE
RElNFoRcEMENTs TO BE SENT
TO FRONT
When They Arrive Guerrilla Campaign
Is Expected to Begin Which
May Last for Many
Years
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 17.-That the
military situation in Yemen is unsatsfac-
tory appears clearly by the fact that the
most optimistic letters which have ar
rived from the front during the past few
weeks merely express the belief that Faizi
Pasha and his force will be able to hold
Sanaa till the arrival on the reinforce
ments which were 50 insistently demanded
by the commander of the Yemen neld
force.
The idea that the appearance of these
reinforcements on the scene of action can
ahve any permanent effect on the Issue OF
the campaign is secuted in Syria, where
it is believed that the Imam 1ahyaa will
at most retire before the new forces into
the mountains and thence conduct a
harassing guerrilla campaign till the in
evitable wastage of the Turkish armies
enables him to take the field with peter
chance of success.
Moreover, it is improbable that the
Turkish forces, as at present organized
and equipped can ever force their more
mobile opponents to action in the open,
white the rebels in their own mountains
are now considered to be tactcally equal
if not superior to the Turks.
Blockade Ineffective
The utter iDefflciency of the coast block
ade, or rather watch, conducted by few
superannuated gunboats and customs
craft enables the contraband trade in
arms and ammunition between Yemen
and Massawah, Jibuti and other ports on
the west coast of the Red sea to be car
ried on with a minimum of risk.
Many thousand rifles and large quaint
ties of ammunition have been captured
during the campaign. The shooting of
the insurgents is said to be far more accu-
rate than that of majority of the Turk
ish troops, whose musketry training, as a
rule, begins and ends with manual eXer-
cises in the handling of an empty rifle.
The deficiency in the ammunition sup
ply. which caused Faizi Pasha great anXi-
ETY., is now being remedied by large IN
dents on the reserve ammunition of the
First Constantinople, and Second, Adri-
anop.e, army corps, but the disorganiza-
ton of the transports, the utter break
down of the understaffed and Ill equipped
medical service. and the Indifferent morale
of both officers and men, initiate far
more seriously against Faizi Pasha's
chances than the notorious weakness of
his troops in tactics and musketry.
According to all indications the war may
last for years.

Young Man Is Placed on Trial for
Killing Lieutenant Whom He

Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
MARSEILLES, Aug. ia sensa-
tional murder trial has just begun in
Corsica which resembles the recent
trial of the Strothers in Virginia who
avenged the honor of their sister.
An officer of the garrison of Ajaccio,
Lieutenant Geyer d'Orth, was shot
while lighting a cigar in a tobacco
bureau last April by Philippe Antonetti,
who says he did it to avenge his sister,
Angelo Antonetti. The latter was a
pretty girl of sixteen. She was en-
ployed as maid in hotel where many
officers boarded, and sefved them usu-
ally at table. Every evening she used
to return to her parents to sleep. and
had two brothers, Philippe and Jules
Antonetti.
One night, it is stated, she did not re-
turn, and on the following day she said
that she had been kept away by Lieu
tenant Geyer dOrth, who had locked
her up in his room. She added that
the lieutenant had been counting her
for some time, and had made her even
promise of marriage, though she
knew he was already married.
She did not believe in his promise,
though she pretends that she believed
he would take her with him when he
removed to another garrison and would
i y
the anger of her father and two broth
ers, and a family consultation was held.
The two brothers, as is alleged, went
to see the lieutenant to reproach him
for having they asserted, publicly dis
honored their sister
Denies Accusation
The lieutenant is said to have denied
the allegations of the girl, and asserted
that he had never so much as touched
her and never dreamed of such thing
as shutting her up in his room. The
brothers refused to believe him and de-
manded reparation, giving him few
DAYS to reflect The lieutenant sent
them away rather abruptly. He had
kept a revolver before him on his table
during the interview.
On the following day, as he entered a
tobacco bureau to light a cigar, Phil
ippe followed him and fired at him.
The lieutenant fell mortally wounded,
and his aggressor fed to the mountains.
After a week Philippe Antonetti re-
turned and gave himself up to the po-
lice.
following morning AS he fell wounded
il is said he exclaimed, And yet have
done them no wrong" and to the judge
who questioned him in the hospital be-
fore he died he is said to have repeated
the assurance that he had not taken
the slightest liberty with Angelo An
tonetti, and that her story was the work
of her own imagination
