DYNAMITE STOLEN
FROM MAGAZINE
Authorities at Sea Over Theft
of IA Sticks of Explosive
Near Ocean View

The local police and the sheriff OF
San Mateo county are investigating
the thefts of large quantities of dyna-
mite, fuse and caps from the magazine
of Dodge & Co., graders for the
Crocker estate in San Mateo county.
The magazine is situated on a hill near
Ocean View about 500 yards south of
the county line and is surrounded by
trees.
On Tuesday night the magazine was
broken into by forcing the locks off
the door and "a sticks of dynamite. so
feet of fuse and nearly boxful of caps
were stolen. The following night the
magazine was again visited and so
sticks of dynamite, 80 feet of fuse and
a boxful of caps stolen.
Detectives T. C. Murphy, Gaughran
and Goff were detailed by Captain
Kelly to make an Investigation. and
they reported yesterday that they were
unable to obtain information as to the
offenders. They had questioned Harry
Davis, superintendent in charge of the
magazine, who expressed the opinion
that the guilty persons. were boys Iiv-
ing in the locality. Sheriff Kirkpatrick
of San Mateo county was unable to
give them any information.
Captain Kelly said yesterday that he
had fifteen men working on the case.
as he was determined to sift the mat
ter to the bottom. There were, he
said, great many people in that local
ity who were grading their own lots
and as they would have to give a bond
to secure dynamite it was his opinion
that they had adopted this r,eans of
supplying themselves to avoid the ne
cessity of paying for the explosive or
supplying bonds That was onIy a
theory. 1t might have been the work
of boys who wanted to have a supply
of explosives to celebrate the fourth.
and it might have been the work of
men who had an unlawful purpose in
view, but Kelly hoped the mystery
would be solved soon, as it was a dam
ger to the community to have such a
large quantity of explosives around.

MRS. FISKE LAUDS
PLAYS OF IBSEN
Actress Decries Time HOnOred
Customs of Stage and De-
ClareS Stars Mar Art

BERKELEY, July 3.-Time honored
customs, tricks and habits of the stage
were condemned this afternoon by Mrs
Minnie Maddern Fiske, the well known
actress. who before an audience in
Hearst hall upheld Ibsen as the play
wright who started the upbuilding of
the American stage in the right direc-
tion.
Mrs Fiske especially condemned emo
tional acting and melodramatic plays,
which she characterized as a false
appeal which took the highest form of
immortality on the stage" She said
that emotional acting was strained. un-
natural and debasing.
The old fashioned society emotional
play is as milk and water compared
to Ibsen." said Mrs. Fiske. The former
is revolving, immoral and unnatural;
the latter noble. grand and impressive.
we are beginning TO have a truer
idea of the play. The old fashioned
idea of having the heroine weep bitter
tears and tear down the hangings at
the end of the fourth act has dis
appeared. BloOdshed now is a rarity
and tears few, for we are doing better
acting.
The artistic aim of the producer of
play is perfect harmony. How can
this be attained in a so called star
play. which debases the talent of the
dramatic writer. distorts all the scenes,
disarranges the entire play and players,
for the purpose of protecting a single
player and casting him into the lime
light? 1t can be compared TO an or
chestra in which four pieces are in
tune and the other instruments in dis
cord.
There are no star plays in Shakes
peare and Ibsen. The latter has reached
the limit of the modern drama and
he has revolutiOnized the modern play
in every country"
Declaring the public knew little of
plays, Mrs. Fiske closed her reading
with an appeal for a better under
standing of plays and playwrights and
the hope that plays of the future would
represent the true ideal of dramatic art

/ departments of Fruitvale and this city
found it difficult to get within ffghtfng
distance of the flames. The defective
hydrant and the poor water pressure
also made the work of the fire fighters
, inefficient.
The officers of the society which
managed the Altenheim are: President
Charles Hanson of San Francisco; vice
president, c. c. Volberg of Alameda
secretary, Charles Volkem; treasurer,
L. 5. Rose. Among the directors are
Theodore Gier and T. W. Sohst of this
city. Mrs. Louise Westhof, Mrs f.

President Hanson is i'll at his home
in San Francisco. In his absence Vice
President Volberg and Colonel Gier
took a hand in directing the dispose
uon Of the burned out inmates of the
home this evening. Many of the old
people had friends who, when they
learned Of the destruction Of the Al
tenheim, took the homeless ones to
their own firesides
Theodore Gier was active in provid-
ing quarters for those who were
houseless and helpless. He sent many
of them in automobiles to homes of his
friends and the invalids to local hos
pitfalls.
A two story house located west of
the Altenheim, which was purchased
by the society shortly after the San
Francisco fire, was made use of this
evening by Matron Behnken as a tenn
porary shelter for many of her
charges.
Speaking of what the directors of
the society might do, Vice President
Volberg said:
Personally, am in favor of imme-
diately erecting a temporary building
on the grounds to house the old folks.
The weather is mild now and probably
Will remain so for several months. In
that time We can have a new and.sub-
stantial building well under way
Il believe that we could call upon
wealthy Germans of California tomor-
row and in a few hours realize $50. 600
with which to start the work We are
inclined to attribute the fire to a de-
fective hue. The fire started at the ton
of the building near the northeast
corner. 1t was in exactly the same To-
cation that a fire broke out several
months ago. At that time the flames
We're put out before much damage had
been done.
1T was fortunate that the fire oc-
CURED when nearly all the inmates of
the home were on the lower floor at
supper Had the building taken fire in
the night, after the old people had re-
tired to their rooms on the upper
floors, some lives certainly would
have been lost"

and that he would have to train her
In the proper way of living. Accord
ingly, she alleged he told her that she
was to have no petting and no foolish
ness; she had to eat just what he pre-
cribed, read the books he selected for
her mental Improvement, and wear the
gowns and hats he picked out. When
she declined some of the food he Of

declared, and made her swallow it.
