PASTOR PLAY HAD
TWO CUSS WORDS
Threatens Law for Manager
Who Put En- In.

Chicago, Ill, Dec. 4.-Rev William
Danforth, pastor and playwright,
wants to know what the legal rights
of an author are. He started on a
quest for this information at 8:15
sharp, just after the curtain at the
end of the first act at the College
Theater last night, and he has been
on it ever since.
Rev. Mr.. Danforth things that his
rights have been infringed upon by
Colin Campbell, stage director at the
College. Mr.. Campbell has under
taken to Interpolate a couple of
"cuss" words in a play written by
Rev. Mr. Danforth and the clergy
man has called upon his attorney,
Harry Goodman to tell Mr.. Camp
bell where he gets off at" accord
ing to law.
Mr.. Danforth's play is entitled
The Gates of Eden" 1t is a per-
fectly proper play in every respect
and deals with life among the Shak-
ers, who, the programme announces
are not TO be COMPOUNDED with the
Quakers, although they are very like
them The initial performance of
"The Gates of Eden" at the college
was given last night.
Rev Mr.. Danforth was sitting
quietly in his box as the first act of
his play drew to an end. The house
was full, the play was going smooth
ly and his mind was at peace. Sud
denly just before the curtain he
heard Squire Huxley, one of the
characters, announce in sentorian
tones:
If you say another word I'll smash
your d-n facet"
Mr.. Danforth was worse than hor
rified. To use his own expression, he
was "flabbergasted' AS he had writ
ten that line it had read: I'll smash
your face The adjective had been
| interpolated. He rose to his feet and
rushed wildly to the Office of the
manager.
stop the play" he shouted 'Its
been butchered Some one has been
trifling with my lines"
Stop the play" retorted the man
ager, land us with full house? Not
in a thousand years. What's the
matter with it? Whose 'butchered

Il don't know who did it" replied
the preacher, but some one has
stuck swear words into it. It's not

It's not decent. It must be stop

see anyone get up and go out did
you?"
yes, but think of the position it

here's the Mccormick Institute not
four blocks away What will they
think of me?"
Now see here said Marvin I've

play isn't it? Very well, then. Now
Campbell, the stage director interpo-
lated these lines, and between me
and you and the gate post, he i'm
proved the play. Anyway, there isn't
going to be any change back as long
as it is on at the College"
1t is the opinion Of the manager of
| the College Theater, that without the
two d--ns inserted in the Gates of
Eden" by skilled stage manager
the play lacks salt. If the clergyman
cannot be made to take that view of
| the altered lines there probably will
be court action.

SUICIDE HABIT ALONG

New York, Dec. 4-Sixteen year
old Max Klein, who lives with his
mother, Yetta, and elder brother,
Louis, on East 127th Street has three
besetting sins, according to these
two nearest relatives: % prejudice
against any kind of work, (2) over
towering love for ready-made cigar
cites and "the adventures of Dead
wood Dick" and go habit of re-

on the gas every time he grows pee

Mrs Klein and Louis work all
day, but Max, he reads and smokes,
they say. Mrs. Klein moved up
from the east side recently to get
Max out out of the harmful influen-
more peevish, if possible, tina be-
fore.
About a month ago, while Louis
and his mother were giving a card
party, the guests smelled gas. Louis
and his mother, knowing what it
VISA, rushed into Max's room and re-
lieved Max, then chastised him.
Last night at o'clock Louis, re-
turning home, found the door locked
and no one to answer the bell He
went in through a window and there
lay Max on the bed again, with the
gas on Louis and his mother again
revived him, but this time, Louis,

where he desired to lodge a COM

Lieut.. Loonan accommodated him.
He asked Max why he did it,
"Aw," said Max, 81 don't like me

That's a slim reason for taking
your life, isn't it?" pursued the Lieu

Mrs. Klein said that Max's sui
