George w. Lederer Says Evelyn Mes

CHICAGO. Feb. 17.-George w. Led
erer. manager Of the Colonial Theater,
admitted today that originally Flor
ence Evelyn Nesbit was named as one
former Mrs. Lederer, who, before her
marriage to Lederer, was Miss Adele
Rice.
It became known that Lederer was
married at Crown Point, Ind, on jan
uary y. to Miss Rene Davis, of the
Spring Chicken" Company
It was in June last that previous
Mrs. George ". Lederer obtained a di-
vorce from the theatrical man. it be-
ing understood that the divorce was
by agreement. Shortly before Christ
mas the divorced Mrs. Lederer was
married to Lieutenant Charles Perry
Burt OF the United States Navy. The
Burts are now at Harrisburg, Pa
The paragraph in the bill in which
the name Of Florence Evelyn Nesbi;
occurred was stricken out by motion
of my former w!fe's attorneys, who
said that they had no proof" said
Lederer. The facts are these: I had
a business partnership with a man
named J. V. Jordan, a Portuguese. Oul
separation so angered him that he
helped TO get up the divorce suit
against me by gathering up old pro-
grams of all the plays that ! had ever
had anything to do with and liftine
out the names of all the women fol
correspondents. ! suppose he was 60

somewhere. I was vindicated by the
decision of seven judges in the Appel

wife got a divorce in Chicago. The
allegation in respect to Miss Nesbit
was unoualifiedly false and my wife's
attorneys admitted as much

DEATH LIST GROWING
IN NEW YORK WRECK
Twenty Persons Succunb to
Injuries Received i he
Smash-Up
OTHERS ARE DYING
Train Was Going Seventy
Miles an Hour at Time
of the Accident

NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-Twenty dead,
two fatally hurt and 145 more or less
seriously injured is the result of the
wreck of an electric express train on
the New York Central Railroad at Two
Hundred and Fifth street and Webster
avenue Saturday night. OF the large
number of injured, fifty, according to
hospital and police reports, are seri-
ously hurt, and it is not unlikely that
the death list will be increased within
the next twenty-four hours. Most of
the others are suffering from Iacera-
tions or shock and will recover.
Perhaps the, most significant state
ment OF the day was made by Coroner
ScnWannecke,. who has secured state
ment from Motorman Rogers of the
wrecked train. In this, according to
the Coroner, the motorman stated he
was running on schedule time when the
accident occurred, and admitted that
the speed of his train was seventy miles
an hour. Rogers, said the Coroner, de-
ciared he did not know anything was
wrong until he was an eighth of a mile
beyond the place Of derailment. The
train had five coaches. The first was a
smoker, the second described as a
power-car, although it is a combina-
tion baggage and smoker, and the three
following were ordinary passenger
coaches
When the wreck occurred the three
rear coaches. filled with passengers, were
thrown on their right sides just above
sharp curve at Woodlawn road bridge
The shock was terrific. People were
hurled violently from their seats and
the most of those who were killed
were pitched through the windows as
the cars slid on their sides. The third
rail finally broke with a flash and q
roar seen and heard for great dis
tance. Between the wreck of the cur
rent rail and the main track the bod
les were wedged. They were held there
as the cars passed along and in this
way were terribly mangled.
In an official statement today j. c.
Hammond, press representative of the
New York Central Railroad. said the
investigation made by the railroad of
ficials had not disclosed the cause of
the accident. One of the small wheels
on the left side of the front of the lead
ing motor had been found to be broken
at the point of derailment, as pieces
of the wheels were picked UP at that
point. At that point a rail was broken
but whether it caused the. wreck or re-
suited from it is unknown. He said
the train was six minutes late, and
that the reports of the trainmen and OF
officials who had investigated showed
that it was going from forty-five to
fifty miles an hour.

ITALIAN DEMONS sTRAT|ON
IN FAVOR OF FRANCE
Thousands of Persons With
Red Flags Parade the
Streets of Rome

ROME, Feb 17.-Fifteen thousand
persons. among them $50 red-shirted
Garibaldians, with 120 flags and twen-
ty bands of music, participated today
in an anticlerical demonstration in fa-
vor of France. The procession crossed
the city and went to the monument of
Giordano Bruno, the Italian philos-
opher, who was burned at the stake.
where thirty wreathS were deposited.
Afterwardl the marchers went to the
capitol, and, despite their being pro-
hibited doing SO, entered the balcony
of Michael Angelo, overlooking the hill
and planted the red republican flag
amid enthusiastic cheering. Republican
and Socialistic Deputies delivered vio-
lent anticlerical speeches.
The Government took energetic meas
ures to avoid trouble. The whole gar
rison was under arms, and all of the
streets leading to the Vatican were
barred by troops.
Similar manifestation took place in
all leading Italian towns.

and future sales will result in abun-
dance.
Eilers Music Company also realizes
that the. piano itself must be Of the
highest possible grade-the materials
and workmanship entering into its con-
struction must be of the very highest
order, and it was with this clearly in
view that the above named makers
were approached in this undertaking.
There are no finer pianos than the
Hazelton, the Decker and the KimbalL
No chOfcer workmanship. no greater
durability. no more pleasing and salts
factory tone quality is to be found in
any American upright. And these
makes have also the advantage of old
established reputation and time tried
service of many years standing.
All of the other makes of pianos Sc
lected for this purpose have given the
greatest satisfaction to their users for
many years. Every time one of these
pianos has been sold il has been the
means of selling others, and with this
liberal arrangement upon the part OF
the manufacturers these pianos will
have the most valuable and consistent
advertising possible.
An advertising plan of this magni-
tude could not be attempted with any
other than the very finest OF new q k
amos. In this undertaking we proposeN
not only to show the high merits OF
illustrate what modern methods in
quantity buying and piano selling can
effectively do in the way of reducing
costs.
PRICES THAT SELL
Pianos which heretofore have regu-
Iarly sold at $3.50 and $500 will during
this sale go for virtually S2O0 less.
All $3.50 and $500 styles are now re-
duced to s3S2. 1856 and 1857.

highest grade artistic piano. one which
never heretofore has been sold for less

now for $21S.
PAY BY THE MONTH III YOU LIKE
These prices are for all cash-but
liberal time in which to pay for them.

PRACTICAL ADVERTISING
few years ago such an undertake
ing would have been impossible. To-
day it can easily be accomplished by
means of the vast distributing facili-
ties of the Eilers organization.
The makers of the Hazelton. the
Decker, the Kimball, the Hobart NJ.
Cable, the Story & Clark. the Schu-
mann, the Smith s. Barnes, the Schu-
bert and the Bailey pianos have Joined
to make this undertaking possible.
Many piano makers spend enormous
sums of money in the advertising of
their Instruments One firm is re-
ported to have paid the enormous sum
of $50, 900 as subsidy for two prominent
concert pianists for a single United
States tour. This item alone meant
the expenditure of nearly $40 for every
piano they make this year.
Another house allegedly invested a
round 500. 900 in magazine advertising
meaning almost $50 for every piano
made by them this year.
Eilers Music Company has at all
times opposed such extravagant meth
DDS, which in themselves do not sell
pianos.
We recognize that after all the best
advertisement is the pleased and en-
thusiastic buyer.
An army OF a thousand satisfied GUS
toners will do more to assist in the
all concert piano recitals and magazine
advertising possibly can
The above-named piano makers rec
| ognized this instantly when we sub
mitted 1t in this light.

when plano has been actually sold
and not otherwise. Their generosity
will long be remembered by the bene-
| ficiaries of this advertising allowance
