Examination to Be

By Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 24.-Dur-
ham w. Stevens, the foreign adviser
to the Korean government at Seoul,
who was shot and seriously wounded
by q Korean at the ferry station in
this city yesterday morning, is rest
ing easily at the st. Francis hospital
on California street.
Reports during the day from the
bedside were favorable to recovery but
he I4as not yet been pronounced out of
danger. His temperature continues
normal and his respiration remains
good
While the attending surgeons pro-
fessed to be more than satisfied with
Mr.. Stevens condition, symptoms have
developed, it was said at the Japanese
consulate, which indicate that one of
the bullets from the would-be assas-
sins revolver penetrated the lung cav
ity. A consultation of surgeons was
held this afternoon at which it was
decided to make an X-ray examina-
tion of the wounds tomorrow to locate
the bullets. Mr.. Stevens received the
following cablegram from the Japanese
minister of foreign affairs today.
II am profoundly shocked to learn
of the dastardly attempt on your life
and am anxiously awaiting reassuring
news of your speedy recovery. In the
meantime the Japanese consul general
at San Francisco has been instructed
to offer you any assistance in his
po-0r HAYASHl.
Neither the local police nor the fed
eral authorities have taken any steps
toward ascertaining whether the at
| tempt on Mr.. Stevens life was the re-
suit of conspiracy among the local
Koreans.

One sibilant hiss nearly broke up the
play at the Mason one night last week,
caused a ripple in international circles,
and made a sensation in society, While
Mrs. Pat Campbell was aroused to fury
thereby. A perfect babel of Kisses, that
would put to shame the noise of the
snakes leaving Ireland, has made glad
the heart of one player at the Grand
this week, for the first time this season,
and every time tat she hears the
softly penetrating noise she rejoices ex-
ceedingly For Lillian Hayward the
hiss is sweet music, and the more there
are of them the gladder she is.
II have actually not felt at home till
this week with the Ulrich company this
season." she said yesterday as she put
her Merry Widow sailor about three
degrees off the perpendicular and tied
a veil jauntily over its edge. you
know, can't stand for hand claps and
stamping; I get no meaning out OF
them. l have played villainesses so
long that / am no longer satisfied with
demonstrations of approval that other
players enjoy; l must get my misses or
/ am put out. Really, thrive on Misses,
and IL Mrs. Pat or anyone else has any
to spare she may send them over.
Wouldn't Applaud Her
You see, up to this week I have
played straight parts of a sort that do
not appeal to my special clientele.
They don't know what to make of me
as a good woman, and they didn't feel
certain that they ought to applaud one
whose appeal hitherto has been to their
Kisses. So l have really played largely
in silence. And there is nothing so
deadly to an actress as cold, clammy
silence.
"Then guess how glad I was Sunday
when / walked out on the stage to be
greeted by perfect salyos-I suppose
that is the proper word, isn't it?-of
Kisses My heart went glad in a mo-
ment and I know smiled. as / should
not, when l bowed. 1t was my first
real recognition. and l was tickled to
death over II.
mo, give me the Kisses, every time.
In the first place, you don't get any
perfunctory Kisses; they are deserved,
in the view of your audience, or they
don't come. They are a mark of SINGER
1t on the part of both actress and audi
ence, and am never so happy as when,
in a villainess part, I can get that sign
of appreciation. This week / certainly
arl a viliainess right / use knives
and guns and vitriol, and not one of my
deviltries Is lost"

TOBACCO WAR nv
KENTUCKY ENDED
Trust Agrees 20 Buy All That Remains
of the 1906 and 1907 Crops
Which Are Still In the
Warehouses
BY Associated Press.

by Associated Hress.
CINCINNATI, March 24.-An end to
the night riding in the Kentucky White
Burley district has been brought about
through a formal agreement reached
between the American Tobacco COM
pany and the executive committee of
the Society of Equity in conference at
Winchester, KY, yesterday, according
to apparently authoritative statements
made here today by members of the
American Society of Equity.
Word is said to have been received
by the executive committee of the So
ciety of Equity on Monday afternoon
from the headquarters of the American
Tobacco company in New York that
the company would buy the 1906 and
1907 crops at is and IS cents a pound
respectively. The two-year crop ag-
gregates about S0,000.000 pounds of leaf
now in store. According to the re-
ported terms of the agreement the
company vii commence to take over
the big purchase Immediately.
Before adjourning the executive COM
mittee adoped resolutions condemning
the night riders and disavowing any
responsibility for them.
A prominent member of the society,
in confirming the agreement today.
said:
"It is all settled. The cruel war is
over and we have won. There will be
no more night riding or violence, but
there will be no 1908 crop of tobacco.
The American Tobacco company has
agreed to buy all the pooled leaf of the
1906 and 1907 crops and will pay nearly
s14. 100000 for 1t. We have prevailed in
the just fight. and are now confident
that the farmer and renter can raise
tobacco and market IL and have some
money at the end of the season after
paying the grocery bill"

grandchildren and three great-grand-

THE CAST
by sIDLE LAWRENCE

H HERE have been few more en-
tertaining comedies than BREW
Il ster's Millions" presented in Los
Angeles this season-certainly none
better that has possessed also the
merit of novelty for local audiences.
By the same token 1 can recall none
that has been worse acted.
l do not know just how many COM
panies Messrs. Cohan and Harris have
ION the road" in the comedy. This
one may be numbered anywhere from
one to twenty-three. The fact re-
mains, however. that last nights cast
critical intelligence of Los Angeles
theatergoers. There isn't stock COM
pany in the city that couldn't give a
vastly better performance of this same
play, with only one week of rehears-
ais.
Apparently "Brewsters Millions" has
been sent to the Pacific coast by a
management which relies for its local
success solely upon the reputation the
comedy has gained elsewhere. The
men interested must have argued
somewhat in this fashion: New York
applauded So did London. The piece
is good. To the coast with the COM
pany."
The story of "Brewsters Millions"
doubtless is familiar to a considerable
majority of local theatergores. The Nc
Cutcheon novel when first published
promptly went into edition after edi-
tion, and 1t is still going. The COM
edy, too, has been discussed frequently
in the magazines and its plot has
been outlined. Theatergoers In other
cities have pronounced it an unusually
good entertainment of its kind, and
so 1t Is.
ober Is the Star =
Robert Ober is the star of the or
ganization and by comparison with his
satellites he shines with almost plan
etary luster. In the more farcical
scenes of the comedy Ober is at his
best. In the melodramatie passages
and in his love scenes, however ,he is
woefully inadequate to the demands
the role makes upon him. John Junior
plays Sunshine McCloud effectively
Those of the others who have any
thing to do do 1t with varying de-
grees of inefficiency.
The third act scene, showing Mon
ty" Brewster's yacht at sea in
storm, is a masterpiece of stagecraft
There are details about the yacht
which would scarcely pass muster with
seafaring folk, but these may chari-
tably be ascribed to dramatic license.
Inc wave e1eCLS, IIe TeceulIlS SuOTe
lights and the ship which arrives in
sight just in time to answer Monty's
signal of distress and earn the value
of the yacht in salvage are all well
managed, while the storm itself is
cleverly presented.
"Brewster's Millions" in it's current
production is an excellent comedy,
atrociously acted and badly staged,
with the single exception of the third
act.
Mcintyre and Heath will return to
the Mason opera house next week in
"The Ham Tree" which they presented
here last season. The piece is a musical
comedy, written about the popular vau-
deville sketch these stars played for
several years all over the country. Nc
