of the Auditorium company will intro
duce for the first time in Los An
geles the spectacular creation ali
Baba and the Forty Thieves" This
pantomime is considered in London
one of the most successful of the an
nual Drury Lane theater productions.
An odd coincidence occurs in connec-
tion with the production at the Audi
torium theater: Miss Maud Beatty ap-
pears in the same part as that in which
she made her first professional stage
appearance in London. Miss Olga
Stech, the Little Sunbeam of the
Auditorium company, has a part that
fits her talents better than anything
she has been seen in as yet. Billy
Onslow, the favOrite comedian, frankly
admits that his part is so funny in
All Baba' that he expects to make
the hit Of his stage career in this pro-
ductiOn. Walter Reed and Roscoe Ar

tune. She had two daughters, one Eu-
phemis, who became the young come
dams wife. The other marrieds Will
liam Warren, the father of the ceIe-
brated and much beloved comedian of
the Boston Museum This is where
these two talented families of actors
became related. His second son, Joseph
Jefferson the third, was born in 1904.
He inherited his fathers talent for
drawing and painting and married Miss
Cornelius Frances Thomas, who was
the reigning singer of America at that
time. She had four children, one Of
them Joseph Jefferson.
He was born in Philadelphia in 1929
and at the early age of 3 years made
his debut. One might fill many pages
with comment on Mr.. Jefferson's i'm
presentations; the present generation
will remember him chiefly as the Gre
ator of Rip Van Wrinkle, Bob Acres.
Caleb Plummer, Mr.. Golightly and Dr.
Pangloss. Eleven years ago Joseph
Jefferson was taken ill at the Fifth
Avenue theater. He then conceived the
idea that it would give his son Thomas
an opportunity to display his talents,
and allotted him the part of Rip Van
Wrinkle. On the night of the first per-
formance all were eager to see this
young actor in the part his father had
made famous throughout the world
They came, they saw and Thomas JEFF
ferson conquered. The mantle of his
father had fallen on him and dear old
Rip would live in the son and be hand
ed down to another generation as it
had been before.
Thomas is denoted as Jefferson the
fifth. He was born in New York Sep
tember 10, 1857. In early boyhood he
was sent to London and afterward to
Paris to be educated. After going on
the stage he made his first appearance
at Edinburgh and continued in England,
playing number of parts He after
ward returned to Paris and played in
French. On his return to America he
was engaged by Lester WaIlack to Join
his company. Mr.. Jefferson has played
a great many parts with such actors
as his father, Booth, Barrett, Nelson,
Wallack, Davenport, Mrs. Drew, w. j.
Florence, John Gilbert and Viola Allen.

little tot, Miss Herne has been writ

at work on "the big play"
AS a small girl the actress and writ
er was most ambitious to get story in
st. Nicholas, the magazine. To that
end she sent story after story to the
publishers, which were returned to her
with polite notes of thanks. This hurt
the little girl, but instead of disheart-
eEing her, made her more ambitious.
"Once 1 did have a story accepted by
the Arena she said, "and if the editor
only knew how happy he had made a

Since that time Miss Herne has been
more successful with her work. Among

THOMAS JEFFERSON is
FIFTH IN FAMOUS LINE

III HOMAS JEFFERSON the first, a
young man of 49, rode to Lon
don from Riptan, Yorkshire,
on one Of his fathers farm horses
and then met David Garrick, the
greatest actor of his time. Garrick
was at once struck with the wit and
genius of young Jefferson and proposed
his going on the stage with him, which
he accepted. This made the foundation
of the Jefferson family of actors. This
first of the Jeffersons to take up the
stage died in 1907. His family con-
81 tied of wife and two sons; the young
est became a minister and the elder,
Joseph jefferson the second, an actor.

MASON-The strength of Alfred Al
lens new play, The Master Power, -
lies in the fact that he has treated
without sectional bitterness, without
prejudice of place or breeding in any
way, but with remOrSeless realism, one
of the greatest issues. in America at the
present day-the new south" and the
relation of negroes and whites. This is
the subject of his drama. which was
awarded first prize in a great contest
in New York last year.
1.-THE negro question is undoubtedly
a great question for the whole nation, ,
said Ma Allen, but before the south
it is a question greater than anything
else in the world.
mot only the negro attacks upon
white women-which are about the
only things to find space in the north
ern papers-but the attitude of the ne
gro in political and social life are
things confronting the residents of the
southern states"
That Mr.. Allen has succeeded in his
purpose is demonstrated by his play.
He presents the two types of negro
the original kindly, trustworthy, hon
est and lOvable negro of ante-bellum
days, and as he still exists in places;
and against these domineering, insO-
lent, brutal and ignorant negro type.
The play with a capable cast and a
good production will be given at the
Mason opera house for three nights,
beginning tomorrow.

The deed was done, the Korean said,
firstly to avenge his country but also
because he bore personal enmity to-
ward the prince, who had ordered the
execution of several persons closely
connected with the assassin.

The police point out that it was quite

Had the assassin delayed shooting for

made on December 81. The books of
the company will close on December !,
and all stockholders of that date will

Announcement of the dividend plan

The dividend rate announced calls
for a disbursement of 371s cents per

advantage of the convertible clause of
the mortgage will also receive the divi-
dend. A large number of the bond
holders have already signifed their in
tention of converting their securities
into stock by December l.
The big advantage to the district
coming from the placing of Nevada

BOSTON ELY DECLINED
OFFERS FOR PROPERTY;
GOOD REPORT IS MADE

The following explanatory and
highly encouraging circular was made
public yesterday from the offices of f..
W. Hulse Co from the main office of
Boston Ely:

holders of the Boston, Ely Mining Com
pany no business was transacted ex-
cept the election of directors, and the
board has now organized for the cur
rent year by the election of the old Of
ficers.
During the past year the Emma
shaft has been deepened to $50 feet. At
depth of $50 feet the shaft passed out
of the hard lime which had continued
from the surface, into much softer oxi-
dized iron and quartz precisely similar
to the ground everything the high grade
ore In the Alpha shaft of the Giroux
company. From this the values are al
most entirely Ieached out. At the con-
tact between the lime and the iron, we
cut a little carbonate ore carrying 5k
per cent copper, and the ground we are
now in assays 81 cents in gold and sill
yer and " per cent copper, but we do
not expect commercial ore until we
get close to water level which in our
shaft will probably be somewhere be-
tween 1100-1150 feet. This was the ex-
perience of the Giroux company in the
Alpha shaft.
"The shaft is going down at the rate
of from two to three feet per day. The
shaft may drop directly into ore or 1t
may be necessary to crosscut to the
contact to- locate it. This no one can
tell. But that ore will be found is now
practically assured. There is some un-
certainty regarding the size of the ore
body but the developments of the past
few months have satisfied our engi-

area is many tipies larger than pre-

NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-John r. EARLY.
the former United States soldier whose
isolation as an alleged leper on a reser-
walton in Washington for almost a year
ended last July, left the little fiat in
Brooklyn today, where he has been
living with his wife and children, and
went into the country.
Early's sudden departure followed a
visit he made yesterday to DR.. Alonzo
Blauvelt, assistant sanitary superin-
tendent in charge of Brooklyn. He
told the doctors that neighbors had
threatened they would compel the
health department to drive him out of
the fiat house and into quarantine if
he did not move of his own accord.
DR.. Blauvelt assured Early the health
board could not interfere with him,
as leprosy is not considered here as a
contagious disease, but he has gone to
a farm in Connecticut, where the owner
will let them live until next spring,
