TWO SUBWAY EXTENSIONS

NEW YORK, April 10.-The Public
Service Commission today passed a
resolution directing the chief engineer

way now being constructed under Gen.
tire and Delaney streets, through a tun-
mel under East River. from the Centre
street terminal At the same time the
commission passed a resolution direct
ing the chief engineer to prepare de-
tailed plans for ihe subway under

meet with the Williamsburg bridge,
These two subways would form one
system, trains crossing Williamsburg
bridge and returning through Delaney
street, Centre street and the new tun-
mel to terminus in Brooklyn in vicinity
of Brooklyn bridge. This move of the
commission will compel the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Company to make some
offer for use OF the Centre and Delaney
street subway if it wishes to procure a
franchise. 1t has heretofore refused to
make connection between the two
bridges except by means of an elevated
road in Manhattan.

MANY FIGHT FOR
$4,000 ESTATE
LEFT By WOMAN
Litigation Has Eaten Up Third
of Savings of Dead Girl
SalO0n-keeper.

In order to prove the alleged reia-
tionship of Helmy A. Peterson OF
Upsala Sweden, to Anna Theresa
Branting, who died in this city in
June, 1905, Judge Ten Eyck, in the
Orphans Court today gave counsel II
the case until June in which to prove
or disprove the claims. Miss Branting
who was in the saloon business, left
property valued at $4,000, and $4,000
of this has been already swallowed up
in litigation.
At the time of her death she was
supposed to have contracted a common
law marriage with man of the name
of Emil fKohn, in New York city, and
he some weeks ago put in a claim for
the property on that ground. This the
courts knocked out, and arrangements
were made to distribute the estate,
when Lawyer Edward Schoen came to
the front with the new alleged heir,
which he wants to get into line for
share of the inheritance.
Charles H. Stewart, as counsel for
the children of a deceased brother,
John Branting, strenuously opposed
any undue delay in proving the Peter
son claim, and the court agreed with
him that it was not necessary for any
commission to go to Sweden to prove
as documentary evidence
could be readily secured through the
American consul.

AMBITION AGAIN FALLS
TO ETERNAL FEMININE
Mrs. ben" Wilcox Says People
Will Gamble and Ruined
Ones Are WeakIings.

ALBANY. y. Y. April 10.--A woman,
dainty. with big appealing brown eyes
and possessed of wonderful powers of
persuasion over her husband. has de-
feated Governor Hughes's anti-racing
bills and probably declared him out Of
the running for the Republican presi-
Dental nomination.
The fair destroyer of racing and bet
ting reform is Mrs. Ben" Wilcox. wife
of the Senator from Auburn. His vote
would have killed racing in New York
and he had proposed to aid in the kill
ing.
But the eternal feminine. which has
swayed the fate of empires and the
destinies of eooehal events. in this in
stance again triumphed and with her
vote" proved the balance of power on
a question involving millions in in
vested capital, enjoyment to hundreds
of thousands. and which has almost
split the Republican party of New York
State.
Mrs. Wilcox was interviewed yester-
day and here is what followed:
"Pcopie VIII Gamble Anyhow"
81 am not in favor of gambling, but
| am in favor of allowing racing in
this State" said Mrs. Wilcox. Cam
bling is not the paramount thing; it is
a result. Perhaps but then people will
gamble anyhow.
Il know people who have always
gone to the races that never think of
gambling, and ! know others who have
never been there but they have other
forms of gambling. They play bridge
or poker or the wheel, and if one, will
insist on gambling 1t is much better to
gamble out in the open, where, at least.
one gets ones lungs filed with good,
fresh air, rather than be cooped up in
houses and saloons, l think" added
| Mrs. Wilcox
ITO tell you the truth, became in
ferested in the bill because l know so
many people interested in the sport,
who own horses and who glory in -hem
and the track Why shouldn't they?
Why, to stop racing in New York would
be the worst thing possible.
Look at the employment it gives TO
thousands of persons; look at the
enormous fortunes in stables and in
race tracks; look at the diversion and
pleasure it gives to so many"

Mr.. MANTELL PLAYS
THE MOOR OF VENICE,
0thelIo Not Among His Most
Successful representations.
Mr., CIiffe'S IagO,

"Othello" was the Offering at the
Newark Theatre last night, with Mr..
Mantell as the Moor, II. Cooper Cliffe
as Iago and Miss Marie Booth Russell
as Desdemona The performance,
which was largely attended, was in
general meritorious and the production
was handsomely mounted. Mr.. Mantell
is far better as Iago than in the name
Part, and 1t is a pity he does not play
the former oftener Mr.. Clfre made a
good 1ago, though not to be compared
with that of his chief Yet it was, for
all that, surprisingly good This actor
has trick of occasionally julnbling
his words unintelligibly, but. barring
that, his enunciation is good and his
voice is a considerable asset He has,
besides, an eXcellent presence, and he
expressed the diabolic craft and viii
lainy of the Moors ancient at all times
interestingly, if not masterfully. Fran
els McGinn, who during Mantelrs last
engagement here alternated Iago to the
stars Othello, was cast as Cassie, and
gave good account of himself, as he
always does. Miss Russelfs Desde-
mona was all that could have been eX-
pected of her
1t Is strange tnat Mr.. MdntcIl does
not make better Othello, for to him
the part should present no extraor-
dinary difficulty. Yet his performance
lacks the TWO qualities that so distin-
guish his Lear. his Macbeth and his
Richelieu-simplcity and sincerity. II
is just bit theatrical. Mr. Mantell
does not here allow us to forget that
he is acting-that his emotions are
merely simulated. AS in his Hamlet,
his reading is heavy, lacks smoothness
and occasionally misplaces emphases.
That it is intelligent and that his
every motion is informed with dignity
and grace needs no saying It could
not be otherwise with him.
The ideal Of the role that Mantell ex-
presses is the higher of the two pos
sible. lie is not the fiery African son
sualist whose jealous fury is animal in
its nature and whose murder of Des-
demona is a slaughter for revenge. He
is the truly noble Moor. convinced in
spite Of himself by lagos fendish in
genuity of his wifes guilt, and who re-
CARDS her death inevitable in Justice.
Yet, commendable as it is in conception,
it lacks inspiration in execution.

The officials Of the Rutland County
Fair and Rutland Horse Show Associa-
tons are actively at work getting ready
for their joint exhibition September
2, 3 and 4. They are rebuilding the
grand stand recently burned. A model,
up-to-date stand 300 by 40 feet will be
built on the old location. setting same
back from the track far enough to leave
plenty Of room for a nice paddock in
front of the grandstand bleachers. The
new grandstand will be great improve
ment on the old one, all the seats having
backs and a portion of them being re-
served. There will be two entrances
from the rear and exits at each end
When completed this stand will be one
of the best in New England.
From the inquiries and requests for
premium lists for the Horse Show de-
one of the biggest outdoor exhibitions
ever held here will reward their efforts.
Rutland City is said to possess more
fancy fowls than any other place in New
England and in all probability the show
of poultry this year will be the best col
lection of birds gotten together in Rut-
land for many years.
The race program includes eight events,
the purses amounting to $1,000. This yer
Middlebury, 80 miles from here, gives a
81 900 free-for all which is bound to
attract many good horses to this section,
and inasmuch as Middlebury, Fair Haven
and Rutland have formed circuit and
are working together, the expectations
are that the race classes will all fill in
good shape Horsemen appreciate the
short ship between Middlebury, Rutland
and Fair Haven.
