heats will hereafter constitute victory in
trotting races recognized by the American AS
sociation of Trottng Horse Breeders. accord
ing to an announcement made at the annual
meeting OF the association tonight.
In a vote by mail opposition to the three in
lve races was So5 TO 3S.
The proposal made last year for the estab-
lishment of national stake for the trottlng
championship of the United States was re-
newed today by Frank J. Fitzpatrick of Santa
Rosa, Cal, and w. e. Stokes of Kentucky,

ters should have inducement to meet win

series of three races, representing the east,
central and west and Pacific coast districts,
with a final contest for the American cham
pionship The contests, he suggested. should
take place at Boston. Indianapolis and San
Francisco. with Lexington, KY, for the
championship meet.

tional championship idea had the approval OF
the association and that the plan would be
taken up for action when stakes OF $50, OOO
were guaranteed. Senator Bailey was re-
elected president, and all other officers were

Both fighters displayed considerable

Danny Webster entered the ring at

ABDUL HAMlD MAY LOSE THREE
MILLIONS IN GERMANY
Money Deposited by Former Ruler Of
Turkey at German Capital
May Go to Young
Turks
[By Associated Press.1

BERLIN, Nov. 23.-The Imperial
Bank of Germany holds $4,000, 900 depos-
tied by Abdul Hamid before he was de-
posed from the sultanship of Turkey,
and which, according to the Frankfurt
er Zeitung, the present Ottoman ruler
purposes to recover through legal ac-
ton. 1t is learned here that the I'M
perial bank is willing to surrender the
money If the order for the same bears
the signature of the former sultan, au-
thenticated by the special seal adopted
by him when the deposit was. made.
At that time Abdul Hamid entered
into a strict compact with the officers
Of the bank under which no withdrawal
from this account was to be permitted
except upon the authority of the spe-
cial seal.
Apparently the Turkish government
was not aware of this deposit until re-
Gently, when a letter sent by the bank
to Abdul referring to the account fell
into the hands of Mahmoud Schefket
Pasha, inspector general Of the First,
Second and Third army corps. The in
spector general forwarded the letter to
Abdul with the information that its
contents had been noted.
Subsequently the royal prisoner
signed an order on the bank for the
money, but his signature was not ac-
companied by the seal, which, he AYERS,

him to give up the detective business
or will she jilt him and keep up the
thieving business? A partnership be-
tween the two would have it's difficult
ties, which the playwright should have
foreseen.
Charles A. Place makes a pallid and
fawning Fagin. Miss Crescy plays the
thief, and E. f. Palmer, the detective.
The acting is conscientious, but the
villain is handcuffed too easily. He
puts his hands right into the bracelets
and then is surprised when they click
shut.
Dorothy Vaughn has a sweet con-
tralto voice which should not try to
masquerade as a soprano. The high
notes are just beyond it, and to hide
it's failure it slips into a laugh which
begins by being silvery and ends by
being rasping. Miss Vaughn enun-
ciates her words distinctly. for which
she has our gratitude. She also pokes
fun gracefully at herself in a clever
song She has a pleasant personality
and a winning smile

line of monologue which has moments
of brilliancy, and some few which re-

Claiming Pollock. In "The Little
Grey Lady" a secret service man tore
up the evidence incriminating a thief
In order that that thief might marry
the girl both loved. I'm the Bishops
Carriage" which the Belasco stock
company is presenting this week, re-
verses the process but fulfills the
principle. A thief assures the hap
piness OF his former accomplice by
clearing her of suspicion in order that
she may marry his rival, a lawyer.
This is the climax. To arrive at it
novelist and playwright bring the
young woman on the scene in the car
riage of an unsuspecting bishop who
takes her for college student and so
unwittingly helps lug her in the way
of reformation.
Nance Olden is a thief not alone
from circumstance, as her lawyer
lover fondly says, but from an instinc-
tive feminine love of fnery and a
quite human love of adventure. She
is capable of earning a living hon
estly, as she shows when the attOr-
ney who has interested himself in her
obtains her a vaudeville engagement
To thwart her intention her old accom-
plice in theft comes back into her life.
He also wishes to revenge himself on
his rival. The most dramatic scene in
a frequently talky play is where the
girl finds Tom Dorgan, the thief, in
the lawyers home and gives the alarm
which results in his arrest Dorgan
goes to Jail, but escapes in time for
the third act. He comes back to
Nance much after the fashion of Jim
Platt in salvation Nell" A scene of
threats and pleadings follows, ended
by the lawyers timely appearance and
the arrest of both Dorgan and Nance.
A last act in a police station straight
ems out matters, leaving Nance in the
attorneys arm as his atfianced Wife.
The structural weakness of the play
is the fact that we know just about
how it will turn out from the rise of
the first curtain. A novelist can throw
us off the track and prolong the sus-
pense, but the drama offers fewer
chances for astute deception, In the
development of the plot there are fire.

and complicates matters. From mere
on the fun becomes hilarious by Mutt S
endeavors to escape his wife and a

sensation is when Boneyard, the favor

made riderless by the Jockeys refusal
to ride. The race is called and Mutt
volunteers to take the Jockeys place
The horse is brought forth, and its
legs almost give way when Mutt

mystery of the property man. And
upon that horse Mutt rides to victory
Dave Morris, as Mutt, must be COM
plmented upon his makeup. His con-
ception of the character was clever

eccentric dance, and song, I'm a

as the German proprietor of Hotel

admirably. Maud Rockwell and Bios

cialties Henry Auerbach, as He

bane, a French chef. Richard Kipling

well. The chorus numbers were well

The table rapping and the banjo
throwing under the canopy apparently
may be explained by some simple ana
dextrous means mystifying to student
of vaudeville magic. But of the sec
ond part of her program one may not
speak so confidently. Mind-readlng,
as a social accomplishment, has had
many amateur and incidental proofs,
no less than it's professional manifesto
tions on the stage. The theory of con-
federates here Is scarcely tenable. We
are under the chandelier with Jack
Brookfield in 1.-THE Witching Hour
we can watch, and suspect, but we
must wonder.
One thing sure, Miss Fay does not
enjoy her demonstration. To all ap-
pearances she is in a highly wrought
nervous condition from the moment she
comes on the stage till her departure.
If she is not suffering the agony OF
a keen mind parting the veil of the
unknown, she is an excellent actress.
And the rapidity of her answers, as
well as the imperfect way she gets the
questions, is a point in favor of the
genuineness of her work.
There may be two opinions as to the
wisdom of her advice to her question
ers. Keen insight does not necessarily
imply good judgment. The inquirers
who trust their future course to the
off-hand counsel of the nimblest mind
reader are taking a chance which they
" ould not take with their best friend.
From this view of it, Miss Fay's act,
for all it's interest and scientific plaus-
ibility is capable of doing much harm.
1t is a grave responsibility to give peo-
pie hurried counsel on the spur of sud-
den mental elation, far more so than to
delude them by a palpable fake, as
do so many in Miss Fay's line of
work. Perhaps that is what made
Miss Fay appear so worried. She cer-
tainly ought to be.
The rest OF the new bill at the Los
Angeles is subordinate in interest to
the Fay act, but more cheerful to dis
cuss. Elsie Crescy and company pre-
sent a one-act playlet entitled "Fagin's
Pupil" which holds the interest well,
but ends unsatisfyingly. The detec-
tive who comes to see his sweetheart
and finds she is the thief he has been
assigned to arrest, refuses to sacrifice
love to duty. So much is clear, but the

two impresses us as an improbable act.
To have fled the house or to have stood
by her old friend would appear a mora
Hkely course, even allowing for the
nchleneSS OF woman, as comedy COM
placently regards her. Again, in the
thlrd act, the reason for Nances sur
rendering herself with Dorgan is not
clear. She does not even try to escape
arrest. Even a sentimental play
wright should stop short of this.
The acting averages well and in the
more dramatic moments is impressive.
Mr.. Camps Dorgan is the best single
piece Of work. especially in the two
scenes of his arrest. Miss Magrane' $
sincere acting lent verisimilitude to
the difficult role Of the woman thief,
despite the fact that she is not natur-
ally adapted for the part. Her imper-
sonation would gain in conviction if she
took pains to make clear in the third
act that Nance is playing part with
old Ramsey. AS it was enacted last
night, her frank manner almost de-
ceived the audience as well as the
man she checkmated. Mr.. Yerance as
Ramsey, a decrepit old rake whom the
playwright thoughtfully foils in each
ill-advised Irritation, gave a strong
portrayal. Mr.. Stone, as Latimer,
said his lines we'll and acted with dig
nifty at the infrequent intervals in
which he had opportunity. Mr.. Apple
bee was benign bishop and Mr.. Rug
giles reporter with a singular and
self-denying willingness to pass up a
good story.
A polished and flippant wit character
ICES the lines of the play. The views
of the lawyer and the woman thief as
to life in general are seen to be anus
ingly similar. But the outcome vim
dicates neither of them. They are
both a pair of cynics, and a chance
ride in the bishops carriage works
their cure. Which is another curious
instance of the fondness of both Au-
thor Nicholson and Playwright Pollock
for sentimental view of life.
Whatever you think of the telepathy
of Anna Eva Fay at the Los Angeles
theater this week, you must admit that
she believes in herself, at least so far
as her mind-reading feat is concerned.

Both Men in Form
Both men put up a better exhibition
of f1rst-class fighting than featured
their previous appearance. Webster,
if possible, was a little faster and
little more in earnest. Monte sur
passed himself by his wonderful short
arm work and got away from Web
ster's vicious swings with a smile
which the Angel city fighter was un-
with a cut nose and ear and consid-
erably the weaker of the two. Monte
went to his corner after the final ses-
sion without n scratch on him, but
with the knowledge that in Webster
he had met his match. Webster was
the aggressor in the greater number
of frames. McCarey's diamond belt
should never be given away on the
result OF such a battle as the fans
witnessed last evening. While many
allowed Webster's place in their af-
fections to oVerrule their better judg-
ment it is doubtful if he could ever
last twenty rounds with the san Fran
ciscan. Danny saved himself during
the sixth, seventh and eighth sessions,
but finished with a rush which sur
prised even his hackers. From the
DI6SGll OulloOh llOllllllB buL IL lblI6tA
encounter will ever decide the cham
pionship.
Joe Livermore and Chester Moss act
ed as curtain-raisers, the two boys
opening their appearance in whirlWind
style. With a fairly equal first round
Livermore took a clear lead in the re-
naming sessions, which entitled him
TO the victory In the second round
Livermore floored his opponent with
a hard right to the jaw and easily
outpointed Moss at every stage Of the
game. Moss rallied and came back at
the tap Of the gong almost as strong
as at the beginning of the bout, but
was weak at the final bell.
Rees OutcIassed
Kid Rees, who stepped on the scales
yesterday afternoon four pounds over
weight, and Gene McGovern next
crawled between the ropes. Rees who
outweighed and outreached McGoyern,
began by rushing his opponent, but
got nothing but a badly cut mouth in
return. The Milwaukee edition of
Boer Unholz had the better of the
initial frame, winding up by taking a
hard swing at the newsboy a second
