Is in New York. preparing to invade the West. as he has the South. in furtherance of the propaganda for the erection of homes of American ambassadors ahroed. In an interview today Mir. Martin declared:
 When civilization crossed the At lantic to America. idleness was left behind. The idle rich class has dis appeared from New York Unfortun- ately. the idle rich class still exists in England. But it is not spreading there. If 1t were 1t would spell ruin to the nation. Intelligent people there realize that the downfall of the em- pires has come through the spreading of this class of idle rich The idle rich class has been swept from Amer lea by the tidal wave of education America Is education mad. The wo- nen of America are being carried with the tide. No human soul can live and breathe In this country and stagnate mentally. The women are driven on- wnrd in the quest for knowledge as furiously as the men. It Is like the stampede Of a herd of bufralo-the one that drops Is left dying and is tram pied upon on the plain of ignorance"

Gun Wonldn't GO Off,
 Rut the Villain Died

A popular drama that has been scoring a great success in New York was presented at Jackson's last even ing by Mir. Bores Thoma ashefsky. Mir. Thomashefsky is one of the promin ent Yiddish actors of this country. and his masterful presentation of The Lost Paradise" he enact!ng the leading part. easily proved this. Louis Gold the peddler. was the comedian of the company and the humorous situations he would lead himself into kept the audience in an uproar.
 Mime. Schapiro played the part of the wife, who was wronged by the vil- lain. The story was one that usually pervades the ordinary melodramas. It was very interesting however, be- cause of the pleasing manner Of its presentation
 One very funny situation was ac- cldentally brought about that creat- ed much amusement In the last act as the heroine is about to shoot the william. who wronged her, she drew revolver and pulled the trigger sev- eral times. Mon dieu, but 1t would not shoot The bad man dropped dead thus ending his dark and eventful career.

(special from United Press.)

New York, Dec. 2e-That the Del aware. Lackawanna and Western dis posed of its 10000 shares in the Le- high Valley Railroad to prevent fu- ture government orders to dispose of stock in competing lines. Is the dec laration made today by a high offi- cIal of the D. L. & W.
 'It Is apparent that this adminis- tration will force through a law which will forbid railroads to hold stock in competing lines. Such a law m ght have forced the D. L. & W. to throw its Lehigh Valley stock on the market at a loss. so when the opportunity came to sell at a god price. we dis posed of them" said this official.
 This action. the official further de- clared. was in line with the railroad step taken by the D. L. & W. to meet the supreme court interpreta- tion of the commodities clause act
 Railroad attorneys today declared that the D. l.. W. was one of the very few railroads in America now which has placed Itself beyond all req sonable probability of being interfer- ed with by any of the contemplated changes In the Federal laws regarding railroads.

Promise of Rare Performance of Fine
 0.d LngIiSh Drama.

There Is probably no institution in any eastern university which has risen from obscurity to a prominent place in undergraduate life as has the Yale University Dramatic Association which comes to this city on Dec. 30. It was of the class of 1901, and its initial per formance was given at the Hyperion Theatre, New Haven. on the 23d of May, in the last year of the last cen tury. On that occasion, memorable in itself and in It's subsequently, full filled promise. the Association produc- ed a dramatic version of Chaucer 8 ''Pardoner's Tale" prepared by MT. Wescott. and a Medieval Mystery ''Secunda Pastorum-" The object of dignifed and scholarly: no cheap bur lesques or so-called musical come dies", devoid as they usually are, even on the professional stage, of both com- This good policy has been generally followed The Association has given, for the first time in English anywhere in the world. representations Of Ibsen's ''Pretenders' and GogoPs "Revizor"; {; 1t has revived such plays as Haywood The Fair Maid of the West" Cfirst performance in America).

On the Saturday night preceding Commencement. under A lr1NG Merry Wives of windsor, with MT. Parry. '09. as Falstaff- No spectator will ever forget this performance. It was one of the most entertaining and pressive dramatic representations ever witnessed in this part of the world. Nor should we forget another great event in the year 1909. when. on the nineteenth of April, Miss Maude Adams brought her entire company from New York. and gave a splendid perform ance of J. M. BaErie's new play, What Every Woman Knows" Every item of expense connected with this produc- tion was borne by Miss Adams. and to the Yale University Dramatic As sociation. to go toward the fund being raised for the proposed University Theatre. The writer has seldom wit there was so much emotion both on the stage and in the auditorium. At the conclusion of the performance. MT. Parry presented Miss Adams with a suitable token. announcing at the same time that she had been chosen as an honorary member of the association.
 Tn 1907 the Association definitely adopted the policy of publishing their acting version of the play selected, a custom which has been followed by other universities. This gives a cer- tain permanence to the work of the students and is so we'll managed by them that no financial loss has as yet resulted.

NURSES ACCUSED
 OF SAVAGE ATTACK
SANE WOMAN WAS BEATEN TO DEATH
Especial from United Press.)


 Newark, Dec. 29-An affidavit charg- ing that Mrs. Catherine Lindner, be- lieved to be the woman whose skele- ton was found in an abandoned build Ing of the Essex County Hospital for the Insane, several weeks ago. died on February 25. 1904, as the result of an attack upon her by three nurses at the institution. was given to the authorities early today by Mrs. Fran cesca Hlnkel. Mrs. Hinkel declares in her affidavit that she witnessed the attack and sought to stay the hand of one of the nurses who wielded a chair upon the head of Mrs. Lind her while two other nurses and an in mate pinioned her to the floor.
 ''I saw blood flow from her ears nose and mouth and the woman lay helpless in a pool of blood" the afnda- wit says. Then the nurses released their hold Two days later I was vis- ited at my home by one of the nurses, what I had seen. They told me that if talked they would have my daugh- ter. just released on probation. taken back to the asylum. I was afraid and for my daughters sake have held my peace"
 The nurse who called upon Mrs. Hin- kel. according to the latter's state ment, also offered her the information that Mrs Lindner had died two hours after the attack. There were other calls by the nurses at the home of Mrs. Kinkel and each time the visi- tors departed they left behind the ominous warning that she had better seal her liDs.
 The affidavit in the possession of the police gives names and dates. and in cidents of these visits of Mrs. Hinkel's home. Mrs. Hinkel corroborates them with letters which she has received from one of the nurses and declares that other letters and documents have been given to the authorities who are trying to unravel the mystery.
 Dr. Daniel NJ. Dill, superintendent of the institution. says that the woman's story Is not true. Mrs. Hinkers affi- davit was brought to light by Emil T. Neben of East Orange. who is con- ducting a personal investigation of public institutions in Essex County.

FIVE FINED FOR
 BAR ROOM FIGHT
INNOCENT BYSTANDER WAS HIT IN HEAD WITH GLASS AND
 CONFINED TO HOSPITAL FOR
 THREE WEEKS.

Assaults made in bar room fights are not slight offences. according to Judge Carl Foster. Of the city court This morning five of the six men who were arrested Thanksgiving night after John Dumas had been hit with a beer glass In Casper Kuhn's saloon at 425 Han cock avenue. were fined heavily. Char les Varish was fined s25 and costs; Louis varish SIS and costs; Anton Sea- pot s10 and costs; Philip Lorenzo s10 end costs: Joseph George s10 and costs Steve Horwath was found not guilty. All the fines were paid except that of Louis Varish
 According to the testimony of Mrs. Kuhn. wife of the saloon keeper, the uproar in the saloon became too much for the nerves of Charles Varish. He shouted in a loud voice for silence. He was told that every one had a right to speak in the saloon as well as he. The noise continued until Charles pick ed up a pool cue and started in to clean out the saloon Louis Varish, a brother. picked up chair and began to help him. Beer glasses flew all nocent bystander. was hit in the head by one of the flying schooners and knocked out. He was in the hospital for three weeks.
 The testimony failed to show who threw the glass at Dumas. and the charge of assault against the accused was nolled. Dumas said that he did not know who hit him. The accused were defended by Attorneys Ebert O. Hull and Abe Beduldig. The attor- neys pleaded for leniency for their cli- ents, saying that the breach of the peace which was committed, if there was any. was very slight The court replied by saving that the men had a right to congregate. drink and enjoy each others company. but that to as sault one of their number was not lisht offence
