A DRAMATIST's COMPLAINT

To the editor of The Republican ' Sir: Webster defines plagiarism as the act of appropriating and giving out as ones own, the literary or artistic work of another.
 ''The Warrens of Virginia a ney war play. said to have been written by Wm. c. DeMnle, under the guid- ance of David Belasco. was brought out on Dec. 3rd. From the criticisms in the newspapers. l suspected that some of my material had been pur- Joined. and on seeing the piece I at once recognized five incidents taken from my plays. After the Battle" and "Lelia's Captive" which had been placed with Mrs. DeMille. fmother of Vim. C. DeMille) for sale, more than two years ago.
 An indefinite number of plays may be expected from wm. c.

 On october IS. 1905. I carried the two war plays just mentioned and two comedies to Mrs DeMille, who styles herself Authors Representative" and now hold her receipts for the comedies and one war play. "Lelia's Captive
 That she read After the Battle" is proved by note from her. now in my possession. In 1904, l employed the well known stage manager, MT. R. A. Roberts. to put After the Battle" in shape for the stage; hearing nothing from Mrs. DeMille, I took Mir Roberts adaptation to her thinking that per haps she would then become interest ed. As Mrs. DeMille was still silent. called for both copies and received them in the summer of 1906.
 Perhaps Mrs. DeMille realized that her sons feeble imagination could never supply any forcible or original ideas. and that he needed intellectual support. therefore organized her busi- ness as Authors Representative" with that end in view
 It is . conceded point that a similar idea may occur to more than enc au- thor at about the same time. but it is somewhat remarkable that Vim. C. De- Mile should now come out with incl dents embodied in my manuscript written several years ago. and which had been entrusted to his mothers care. Had my plot been touched or any special scene reproduced, an in junction would have been obtained. but the amalgamation was made by such a practiced hand. that my sole redress is to acquaint the public with these facts. The truth is mighty and will prevail" Yours truly.

corning this unique lot is due to the recording of its transfer by its mil liOnaire owner as a free gift to his son. The former owner who has held it for many years has always refused offers for it although they have been frequent and large. The present hold CT refuses to divulge his plans con- corning this interesting piece of ground. and so it remains to be seen whether an absolutely unprOductive plot will continue to exist in the cen ter of the worlds busiest city. -N

company. Frederick Joseph. to reveal
 the present holder of the majority of
 stock of the company which he acquir-
 ed in l901. a thing which he has so
 far steadily refused to do. All sorts
 of startling allegations are made con-
 corning the methods of the trust in
 eliminating competition and absorbing would-be independents even against the will of the latter. It is alleged for example that Mir. Joseph acquired the majority of the stock of the New York Butchers Dressed Meat company mere
 ly as an agent of the trust for the purpose of turning it over. and that he previously left at least one other in- dependent company elsewhere because 1t was thought that he was acting in the capacity of a trust agent. The mi nority stockholders who are bringing the action because of their desire to know just what MT. Joseph has done with his stock further point out that this stock which at the time of his coming to the company had a fixed value. has now no sale whatever. The public of the city looks on thel movement with approval as it is willing to welcome any plan holding even faint hope of more reasonable prices for it's meats.

The subway is no longer to be nickel lodging house for persons who by paying a single fare. have been able to sleep all night in the cars while the trains ran up and down the line. Early in the history Of the sub way it was discovered by the under world that, instead of shivering on park benches a far more attractive and comfortable manner of passing the winter nights was to pay a nickel to get into the subway and then ride in lighted and heated cars as long as de- sired. an arrangement made possible by the system of changing from local to express trains. One could literally ride forever for five cents with plenty of newspapers dropped by other pas sengers to read and the enticing chance of picking up a valuable bum dle forgotten by some other traveller As result an army of subway sleepers" sprang up. many of whom waited for certain guards with whom they were familiar to insure a peace full rest. giving them in return a cigar or a dime. At the height of this prac- tice it was estimated that subway trains were accommodating sleepers than even the biggest hotel in the city But as usual a good thing was worked to death and hereafter no one can ride farther than the end of the line with aut the payment of another fare. and wouldbe sleepers will hereafter be rudeIy thrust forth into the night. The subway will furnish transportation but not sleeping quarters.

 army of clerks and junior officials as
 usual led the way in the amount dis
 bursed and it is said that s, OO0. 900 was handed out to the men in the of fees of this one concern in recognition of its successful year. The leading banks and trust companies have made gifts of from 10 to 90 per cent Of the years salary to their clerks according to the amount of business shown by the yearly balance taken on December 3l. J. P. Morgan & Co. conservative in this as in other matters, follow the rule of distributing 10 to 15 per cent of the yearly salaries. according to the length of service of the employe and it is understood that the usual custom was observed this year. Altogether it is figured that 0,OOO, 900 or over has been distributed by offices in the downtown business section to clerks and other employees. The sum is well up to the usual figure and this IS in terpreted as a further sign of restored among the financial and business interests.

The New Workers. live too fast. wor- ry too much and do not exercise enough is the conclusion of the board of health in its attempt to account for the great increase in the number of deaths from heart disease in the me- tropclis in recent years. While Father knickerbocker is responsible as a staid old gentleman. his children as indi- cated by figures are literally racing toward the grave. Covering a period of more than forty years these figures indicate in a staggering and unexpect- ed manner the race of increase of deaths from nervous strain of the rackiRg. rushing life of the worlds busiest city. Nearly 5000 persons have found the strain of the modern mode of living and working in New York too great and succumbed to heart disease during 1907 showing an increase of 1900 over the year of 1906 That this sur prising total and appalling increase is due to the killing rush of the city is the verdict Of practically all the health officers. The seriousness of the situ- ation is indicated by the figures which show that while deaths from many other diseases known as mortal against which preventive measures can be taken have shown a steady de- crease. deaths from organic heart di- sease, the result of worry and over work, have shown a steady and un- precedented increase.

In the Prohibition movement some
of the ministers and women and chill
dren of Cairo were deeply interested.
and they had made an imposing street
demonstration the day before as a
climax TO a hard campaign OF speech
making and sermonizng on the
streets. in the pulpits and elsewhere,
also house-to-housc prayer meetings.
Yesterday squads of women were
gathered at the various polls singing
and serving lunches, and il was in
connection with one OF these gather
ings that one OF the most unpleasant
incidents of the day occurred. One
party of ladies' We're gathered at
Fourteenth street and Washington
avenue and had been there but a 1t
tie while when a party of negro
women gathered about them. or near
them. yelled and ieered at them, and
SO mistreated them that the ladies
found themselves compelled TO leave,
They went to Fourteenth and Poplar
streets. hut We're followed there by
the negro women ana again MS
treated. Little interest was shown
by voters in these meetings.
The saloon men were particularly
active in the election in all the wards, |
and they We're very much elated over
the result which went far beyond |
their most sanguiac expectations. |
Their opponents claim that a large il |
legal vote was polled and they point !
to the fact that the total vote yester
day according TO the returns was
over 1000 greater than that of any
previous election in the city They |
charge wholesale illegal voting The |
vote on two former recent elections
was as follows:
