 The opponents of "The Clansman'' are coming to realize that they have been beaten all along the line The sentiment back of the play is irresis- tibly strong. It is that which makes the Englishman and the Australian, the Canadian and the Cape Colonist, kins- men to the Americans-the instinct of Anglo-SaXon supremacy that will not be denied, until at last it has made the New World a white mans country and the Pacific a white mans lake.
 Meantime "The Clansman" has prov ed the most marvelously successful of all modern plays. It has already been witnessed by more than s4,000,O00 peo- pie, and it is the ambition and hope of its promoters to keep it on tour until at last every adult citizen of the United States has enjoyed it's thrilling story and profited by its teachings.

DELEGATE CAMERON
 EXPRESSES CONFIDENCE
He Is More Hopeful Than Ever of Ad' mission at the Short Session.

Delegate elect Ralph H. Cameron spent yesterday in the city. arriving yesterday morning and returning north this morning. He will leave for Washington accompanied by Mrs. Cameron and their son, next Wednes- day to remain through the short ses- sion of congress and to be on the ground for the opening of the extraOr- dinary session which will probably be convened on March 15. MT. Cameron had expected to meet Chairman Smith of the republican territorial committee here but he learned after his arrival that Mir. Smith had been called to New Mexico.
 Speaking of statehood, Mir. Cameron said that he is now more hopeful of admission at the short session than he was during the campaign. His in creased hope is based on assurances he has received from those who are in a position to influence legislation and he has also been assured that many who were against admission before are now in favor of it. Those who are not enthusiastically so are at least not in opposition any longer.
 MT. Cameron shares the general opinion that there is a strong disposi- tion to get rid of the continental ter ritorial question. It is now a part of the party policy to do so. whereas un- til now it has been the party policy to deny statehood to the extreme western territories. The president is also anxious that the statehood sub ject be disposed of at the earliest pos sible moment.
 MT. Cameron recently had letters from Delegate Andrews and Governor Curry of New Mexico who have all ready started to Washington and both of them expressed strong hope of admission at the coming session.
 The address of MT. Cameron while in Washington will be 26-9O Baltic building.

WHEN ARRESTED
FOR BIG THEFT
Treasurer of Franklin In
Stitute Charged With
$4,000 ExbezZle-
mcnt.

PHILADELPHIA. April 15.-Herbert
F. Heyl, former actuary Of the FrankIIS
Institute. accused Of the embezzlement
OF $1,000 Of the institutions funds, was
stricken with apopIexy this morning up
on learning Of the issuance Of a war
rant for his arrest, and died at 9.30
o clock at his residence in Aspen street.
DR.. Clinton T. Guthrie was summoned
when he collapsed. and was in attend
ance until the accused mans death oc-
CURED. The physician denied a report
that he had committed suicide.
A warrant for Heyl's arrest on the
charge Of enbezzlement was sworn out
yesterday at the instance Of Walter
Clerk. president Of the institutiOn-s $
board Of managers. This action was de-
cided upon after an investigation OF
the accounts, which was undertaken
following Heyrs retirement because Of
illness.
The investigation was conducted quiet
", and no word Of IL anticipated the is
suance OF the warrant for HeyIs ar
rest. The news OF the alleged embezzle-
Inent was made public last night, and
the former actUary's collapse was an
nOunCed soon after.
Heyl lived with his sisters. No state
ment regarding the accusation could be
secured It was said Mr.. Heyl had been
stricken At the breakfast table.
According 10 Mr. Clark, Henry How
son, third vice president, and Alexander
Simpson. jr-, attorney, the peculatiOns
with which Heyl is charged run through
a period OF two or three years. The
sums embezzled, they say, are for num-
erOus small amounts, but thai the ag-
gregate is more than S12OJ) These
sums, they assert, were not token from
the numerous trust funds with which
the institute has been endowed during
tho DprfOd of its long existence These
total approximately S225. 900 and are said
10 be intact
Nor were the alleged peCulatiOnS made
Il is claimed, from the Franklin Iusti-
tute building fund Of S22O. COO This
money has been subscribed during the
last two years for the erection Of a new
building on the parkway. The call for
these funds was not made until subSe-
Quent 70 the enforced retirement of Mr.
Heyl, as actuary, although some Of IL
had voluntarily been paid over. OF the

over recently t. the Board Of City
Trusts.
il is solely from the current revenues
oc the institute. the officers explain.
that Mr. HeCl is alleged to have EN-
bezzied. In the capacity OF actuary. or
treasurer. he served as business man
aEer OF the institute, and handled all
the funds which came from member
ship fees, the smaller and not spei6c
contributions, advertising in the Jour
nal etc He was also djsbursing officer.
The money thus passing through his
hands amounted to many thousands OF
dollars each year.
