"SQUAW MAN" TONIGHT.
Story of the West to Be Presented at
the Grand.

The engagement of 1.-THE Squaw
Man" at the Grand tonight and tomor-
row may very properly be regarded as
one of the dramatic events of the sea-
son. THE Squaw Man. is novel play,
interesting, humorous and thrilling. 1t
deals with the adventures of an English
man on the western plains and intro
duces large number of characters.
Inc play Is lavishly mounted, and the
scenic investiture is absolutely correct,
thus giving to the play the required at
mosphere. In the first act, which shows
the English country home, one almost
scents the heather, treads the close
cropped lawns, and revels in the snug
healthiness of the place. In strong con-
trast are the scenes shown in the sec
ond act, where the transfer is made 10
the western plains, to the water tank,
cattle shipping station on the Union
Pacific known as Maverick, Wyoming.
to which locality the hero has drifted
In his efforts to save the husband of
the woman he loves from the disgrace
which is but his just due. This scene is
a true picture of the wild frontier life
with which the author had made him
self familiar in his own more youthful
days; and this he lines with a free
facile and thrillingly accurate pen.

Reginald Vanderbilt threatened to
thrash a policeman in the grandstand
at the Bryn Mawr horse show.
The trouble began when a photog-
rapher in the grandstand tried to take
a snapshot of the Vanderbilts. Mr..
Vanderbilt objected in vigorous Ian
guage. A policeman, George S. Gar
rett a farmer, who had been sworn in
to do special duty while the show
lasts, heard the discussions and ap-
preaching the photographer from be-
hind, took him by the neck and threw
him out of the grandstand. 1t was
this action that angered Mr.. Wander
bilt and when the policeman, his face
smiling as if with the consciousness of
duty we'll done, approached the Van

buke that made him gasp.

DIAMOND COMBINE ABSOLUTE.
De Beers Company Has Now Swallow
ed All Serious Competitors.

Messages received from London by
diamond importers in the last few
days say that the absorption of the
Premier mines by the De Beers Dia-
only one of a number of develop
ments as a result of which the big
comPany's control of the business in
all parts of the world is now said to be
absolute.
Besides getting control of the Pre-
mier mine the trust has closed con-
tracts under which it will take for a
term of years the output of the two
other independent mines, Voorspaed
and the Roberts Victor. both of which
have begun to yield diamonds of SUI
perior quality.
A large number Of small independ-
ent companies are operating in Cape
Colony, the Transvaal, and in Rho
desia, but as their combined output is
insignificant the trust has evidently
not considered it worth while to buy
them Even before the purchase of
the Premier mine the De Beers COM
pany furnished more than go per cent,
it was figured. of all the diamonds
sold in the United States. The Pre-
mier output has not been received
with much favor by New York deal
ers, but the quality has been improv-
ing in late months, it Is said. At the
same time the productiveness of the
mine has increased until 1t has been
yielding about one-half as much dia-
monds as the De Beers mines.
One of the largest of the Maiden
Lane importers said that there is now
no possibility Of any serious competi-
ton, because the De Beers company
has resources so great that it could
flood the market with diamonds any
moment If it so desired. A company,
he said, might spend large sums of
money to get diamonds II the present
prices were continued. But the trust
could lower prices below the level at

ANNAPOLIS SCHEDULE.
Navy Team Has Hardest 1t Has Ever
Had Framed Up.

Annapolis, Md, Sept. 12.-Naval foot
| ball authorities have completed the
schedule for the midshipmen's team for
the coming season. 1t includes twelve
games, all of which will be played on
| the home grounds with the exception of
the army game, which will be played
on Franklin field Philadelphia, on No
vember 80. The most important change
in the schedule is the substitution of a
game with Harvard for the annual
the Crimson on October 10, q date that
has heretofore been given to- the Tigers.
Vanderbilt, one of the strongest south
ern teams, will be met for the first time.
West Virginia is another new opponent
for the middies.
The navy still hopes to arrange a
game with Princeton, but there seems
little chance for the meeting. Swarth-
more and Pennsylvania State have Mo-
vember dates, while Lafayette. after
lapse of several years, will meet the
midd1es again in October. The schedule
follows:
October 2-Navy VS.. Western Mary
