The Stage
CLANSMAN PRODUCTION.
Inner Workings of the Great Or
QaniZatiOn Which Will Pre-
sent the Epoch Making
Play Here.

The average person has little
idea of the time ,laborand expense
required to produce even an or
binary drama. When the play in
question is great scenic affair
like the "Clansman", the details
of organization and production
are as numerous and extensive
as those of great industrial en-
terprise.
1t cost to build "The Clans
man" at tleast $4,000. Strange as
it may seem, a play must be
built" AS house or public edi
fee. First Manager George H.
Brennan chose from "The Leop-
ards Spots" and "The Clans
man.. those scenes which lent
themselves to stage effect. An
artist prepared a careful nina
ture model of each scene, some
thing like the toy scenery that
travels round the windows OF de
partment stores at holiday time.
These models are all according
to scale. Working from them
the scenery constructors lay out
the carpentry work and the
painters paint the canvasses.
ranging from the big back drops
to the smaller set pieces.
The producers of the play,
next calling in counsel the chic
electrician, planned the beautiful
lighting effects which particular
ly distinguish "The Clansman"
In order to obtain the gorgeous
sunset followed by the twilight
and then by darkness, in the
first scene of the third act, and
the ghostly effect of the Ku Klux
cave in the second scene of the
act, an extraordinary electric in.
stallation was required. While
the details are too complex for
any but a technical publication.
it may be stated that switch
board was made and is carried on
tour much larger than that used
in the average theatre; that
eighteen arc lamps are operated
by special force of seventeen
employees; and that the system
Of illumination has been perfect
ed with the aid of a device patent
ed by "The Clansman" stage
manager, whereby the scheme of
color effects can be varied and
transformed with kaleidoscope
rapiditv.

the judge for his unexpected clemen-
cy.
Smith was arrested following his
theft of quantity of bed clothing and

their promise to the court and he
will be sent to prison.

When Earl Huntington, one of the
city's most notorious characters, refus-
ed to join in the compact and attempt
a delivery of the prisoners at the coun-
ty Jail, he took the step that kept him
from a sentence to the penitentiary.
Huntington refused to join in the plans
of Sherman Keller. Sherman Wilson
and William Woods, and advised them
against an attempt to break jail. For
this act in support of the law. the pros
ecuting attorney this morning moved in
the Wayne circuit court to strike out
of the affidavit charging Huntington
with petit larceny. the second count
which set forth a previous conviction.
Unless this step had been taken by
the prosecutor Huntington would be
under sentence to the penitentiary. In
stead he was given a fine of So, dis

to sixty days in Jail. He was accused

wells own action which raised the is

"If This be Treason, Etc"

1t is true also that when Mr.. Roose-
welt made his attack upon Delevan
Smith the World called attention to
certain statements which Mr.. Roose-
welt must have known to have been
false or misleading, and appealed to
congress to end all scandal by a full
and impartial investigation. II this be
treason, let Mr.. Roosevelt make the
most of it.
Mr.. Roosevelt's lamentable habit OF
inaccurate statement makes it impos-
sible to accept either his judgments
or his conclusions. In his message he
does not state correctly even SO SIM
pie a matter as the pretended causes
of his grievance.
He says, for example, that the World
asserted that there was corruption by
or on behalf of the government of the
United States No such charge was
made by this newspaper.
He says it was asserted that there
were improper dealings of some kind
between agents of the government and
| outside persons" No such charge
| was made.
Denies Taft Charge.
He says that among those persons
| who, it was alleged, made huge pro-
| fits were Charles p. Taft, brother of
William H. Taft, then a candidate for
the presidency, and Douglas Robinson,
my brother-in-law." No such charge
| was made.
The World has never said that
| Charles P. Taft or Douglas Robinson
made any profits whatever.
| "Not to Be Intimidatee."
If the World has libeled anybody we
hope it will be punished. but we do not
intend to be intimidated by Mr.. Roose-
velt's threats or by Mr.. Roosevelt's de-
nunciation, or by Mr.. Roosevelt's pow
| er.
Mr.. Roosevelt's seething indignation
about the Worlds libel upon the
| United States government" is an ex-
quisite Indictment, indeed. coming as
it does from president who. less than
a week ago, officially insinuated in his
message that the congress of the Unit
ed States was composed of scoundrels
| who amended an appropriation bill be-
cause Congressman did not themselves
wish to be investigated by secret SER
vice men,
No living man ever so grossly libel
ed the United States as does this presi-
dent who besmirches congress, bull
dozes judges, assails the integrity OF
courts, ISLANDERS private citizens and
who has shown himself the most reck-
less, INSCRIPTIONS demagogue whom
the people ever trusted with great pow
err and authority.
So far as the World is concerned
its proprietor may go to jail if Mr.
Roosevelt succeeds, as he threatens
but even in Jail the World will not
sease to be fearless champion of free
speech, free press and free people.
1t cannot b muzZled.

Speed Of FIioht Of PIGEONS

OF our game birds the most grega-
rious and most beautiful passenger
pigeon. now unhappily practically ex-
tinct is or was doubtless the most
rapid of continuous fliers. yet to a to-
tai length of about sixteen and one
fourth inches its wings length is
about seven and eight-tenths inches, a
proportion less favorable for speed
than with certain other less rapid spe-
cies of its family. Their sustained
speed certainly exceeded a mile a min
ute. and some authorities have esti-
mated it as high as 100 miles per
hour. The fact often quoted that
the wild rice of the Carolinas was
sometimes found in the stomachs of
birds shot in Canada shows both mar
velous speed and misunderstanding.

YOST MAY QUIT MICHIGAN.
Cole of Nebraska Spoken of as His
Successor.

Coach Hurry Up Yost may leave
Michigan university. He has express
ed to close friends a desire to be re-
leased from his contract. which has
one more year to run. in order to de-
vote his time to the development Of A
southern mining property in which he
is interested.
Yost's lack of success in the last few
seasons has dimmed his glory, and It
is believed that If he asks for can
collation. of his contract his prayer will
be granted.
Cole of Nebraska would be the most
promising candidate for Yost's job
should the Hurry Up" man retire. He
has Lad experience in the eastern
style of play at Virginia and at west
ern style at Nebraska and was popular
when member of the Michigan team.
