is on the part of British land explorers who
have invested heavily in factory sites in
the hope of taking a rise out OF the Yam
kee manufacturer whose thought English
land speculators-would have to buy fac
sites at any price. The main effect, so far,
of the British patents act is to put up the
price of factory sites all over the country.
In order to ascertain the opinion OF Ameri-
can manufacturers residing in England the
writer recently interviewed some of them.
The representative Of one of the largest
firms made the following statement on the
new patents act:
1.-THE only effect we have noticed so far
is that our office has been deluged with
circulars, pamphlets, maps and letters
from real spectators, offering us land on
which to manufacture our product, but,
Just as yet. we are not having any. So
far as the patents act affects American
interests In England, l can truly say do
not know OF a single firm who has gone
into manufacturing solely on account of
the working OF the act. 1t is true that
several large American firms have opened
up in England, but this is simply because
they have found 1t advantageous to do so
owing to the inducements offered by cheap
British labor. But these conditions have
nothing whatever to do with the new act.
The Westinghouse people and other firms
have established English factories simply
because it was found cheaper to manu-
facture their products on the spot than to
\bring their goods across the ocean. Sew
eral American firms already have their
own factories. not only in England. but
in Germany, France, Russia and other
European countries.
Systematic Work Begins.
The principal activity in the patents act
line has been on the part of English es-
tate spectators. AS a matter Of fact
several Of these have sent representatives
to America for the express purpose Of
trying to sell lands in England. All Ameri-
can investors and firms who have taken
out English patents are being systematic
ally circularized, and several English
agents are now touring the United States
trying to sell their land, So far as I can
see there is very little business being done
ever in this line"
Inquiry at the American consulate in
Loudon confirmed these statements. There
is a very prevalent opinion among busi-
ness houses that this move is the begin
ming of protection in England. II is. con-
sidered significant that an ostensibly
free trade government should introduce
a measure which is nothing more nor less
than a distinct form of protective tariff.

land five and a half years ago. In speak
ing of New York she said, with a laugh.
New York Is different from Peter Pan.
Peter never wanted to and never would
grow up, but New York has grown up and
Is still growing" Miss Chase is already
in active rehearsal of her part in "Panta-
looms in which she will appear in Paris
at the Theatre des Arts early in October.
Another arrival in London from a tenn
porary absence is May de Sousa, the popu-
lar little musical comedy actress whom,
although an American, the English regard
as their own. She has been appearing in
Paris at the Coincide Franchise and else
where, and is now rehearsing the part
formerly played by Evie Green in "Ha-
vana,' Leslie's Stuart's latest musical
comedy, now playing at the Gaiety.
Miss de Sousa tells an amusing story
OF her experience In the French capital.
She was to appear at the Moulin Rouge
and had written her own part, but the
management asked her to add thirty-two
lines which they furnished.
They were dreadfuly rescue lines" she
says, land / would only speak two of
them. Later, when my French had i'm
proved, l found to my horror ! had picked
the very worst two of the lot"

II persistence is any measure Of
the truth of a rUmor, then Edna
May is shortly to return to the
London stage in straight comedy. She
has long been anxious to appear in a Bar
RE part and many judges consider that she
is admirably fitted for such a role. The
Tumor is by no means a new one and ii
has once been denied, but there is no
doubt that the former actress has been in
communication with the Scottish author
regarding her desire to be fitted with a
part by his sympathic hand. Barrie is not
an author who responds to the beck and
call Of popular players, preferring to write
as the spirit moves and TO tear up and
destroy as his critical judgment directs.
However, with Charles Frohman support
ing her plea, Mrs. Lewisohn may accom-
plish her wish.

New York company in "Brewster's Mil
lions" a dramatization by Winchell Smith
and Byron Ongley of George Barr Nc
Cutcheon's fantastic tale with which the
majority of book readers are familiar. The
play comes here with a new equipment of
scenery and all the elaborate detail that
characterized Frederick Thompson's origi-
nal production. The great yacht and storm
scene in the third act, one of the most
sensational and realistic stage illusions
ever shown, will again be the spectacular
feature. Edward Abeles has won an enorm-
Gus success in the title character. The sup
porting company includes Sumner Gard,
CASTOR Bell. Ralph Dean, George Glare,
Ada May Talbot, Nestor Lennon Grace
Arnold, Arthur Morris, Albert Sackett, Al
bert Wilson, Ivia Benton, Charlotte Lander
and Edith Taliaferro, who will have the
leading character, that Of Peggy Gray,
played here last season by Miss Mary
Ryan. Miss Taliaferro has long been es-
tablished with child's characters. This is
her first part in long dresses. She Is a
sister of Miss Mabel Taiaferro Mrs. Fred
eric Thompson the star of Polly Of the
Circus and is described as a fascinating
and winsome young actress. The engage
ment of "Brewster's Millions will be for

"Ben-Hur" is a drama of life in the

ment, fascinating. Rarely has a text
seemed so filled with beauty. or the mar
velous story seemed so rich in sympathetic
appeal as in the present scenically perfect
production especially arranged for this sea
son of the spectacle. This equipment is
conceded to be the most magnificent ever
provided for a spectacle, and will be used
during the presentation OF the Wallace
drama az Boyd's theater on October II, ID
and IA, with a special matinee on Wednes-
day, the 14th.
In the new Rowland & Clifford preduc-
ton, Jane Eyre" which will be seen at
the Krug theater for two days. starting
matinee today, there is a great deal Of
true dramatic strength and power, with
out resorting to claptrap. The scene in
the third act, where Jane leaves Roch-
ester, is one that holds its audience breath
less, and proves that there is as much
strength and power to hold in a quiet, tense
scene as in the most extravagant mechan-
ical impossibility ever born from an over
fervid Imagination. 1t is an interesting
story and well told, probably one Of the
best plays of its kind ever presented en-
tour.
The Wizard of o. will be at the Krug
theater for five days, starting Tuesday
night next, matinees Wednesday and Sat
urday. This delightful musical comedy,
the product of L. Frank Baum, who sup
piled the charming fairy story, and Paul
Tietjens and A. Baldwin Sloane, who fur
nished the lyrics and score. is one of the
most popular and entertaining exravagan-
zas ever produced. Few caracters of the
eccentric comedy type have scored such a

WASHINGTON HAS
A MURDER MYSTERY.
Diplomat, Wife of Army Captain ard a
Negro Are Supposed to Be In

The police Of this city have shooting
mystery on their hands, involving a ne
gro man. supposed diplomat, and the
alleged wife Of an army captain. At the
Emergency hospital William Sykes, the
negro and the man who was shot, lies
in critical condition, while the other
parties to the affair for the present, at
least. have been able to conceal their
identity.
The shooting occurred Saturday even
ing in fashionable section of the city
after the negro had approached the cou-
pie and, as he says, asked To be directed
to a certain address. \ short time after

door. The mans nose was bleeding and
the woman was heard t. advise him TO
have it attended to. whcrcupon they
started for "A drug store on the corner,
but changed their minds and dlsap-
penred.
The negro adheres to his first story
that he simply asked to be directed to
an address he gave. 1t iS stated that
should the negro die. the police would be
compelled to make Il canvass of all the
legations. unless in the meantime the
identity of the man becomes established.

Declares Country Has Great Britain's
Support, but This Is Denied

BUDAPEST. Nov. 2S.-Nazim Bey,
She representative in Paris Of the Young
Turk committee, has given an interview
TO the Poster Lloyd, in which he says:
1--WE are not afraid that Austria-Hun-
gary will declare war on Turkey. We
are prepared for war. and moreover we
have obtained from Great Britain an Of
bcial guarantee against any external
danger"
LONDON. Nov. 2S.-Omcial circles
here are at loss TO understand on what
Nazim Bey, the Paris representative OF
the Young Turks, could base such a
statement as he is alleged to have made
u a Budapest newspaper. No such guar,
gntee has been given, and it is surmised
that this is merely the expression Of the
optimistic impression created on an east
ern Imagination by the presence OF the
British feet in the Aegean sea.
1t is suggested also that II may be
perversion Of what Nazim Bey really
said, published TO support the antl-Brit-
lsh campaign in Austria, which seeks 10
show that Great Britain is trying to IN
auence Turkey 10 resist settlement
with ia-Hungary.
