The fair crowd that turned out last
night and sneaked to the Grand under
the low hanging clouds which were
leaking and dripping most of the time,
" ere well repaid by their first peak at
the rearranging of the big theater-
and it is a fact that the audience spent
most of its time looking at the decora-
tions in the building.
The 100000 Beauty was a burIesque
despite the fact that it was scheduled
as musical comedy. Dainty Marjorie
Lake as the Beauty, together with Sim
Kerner, Leo Adde and Monte Carter
as the three Village jokers'' were the
spotlight performers and drew what
applause there was. The chorus of
eight strong were big healthy looking
corn feds" and they were fairly good
kickers but their singing was more on
the squeal variety and at times almost
approached a tune

.SaYs He Is Insane in Massachusetts.

Boston July 16.-The unique spectacle of a
person applying to the court to be adjudged in
sane and kept in an asylum presented in
the Superior Court here to-day. when George z.
Richardson. of FoXboro applied through coun-
SCI to Judge Rugg for order for his continued
Incarceration in the insane hospital at Taunton
Three weeks ago Richardson was arrested for
being a fugitive from justice from the State Of
Washington. where he has been indicted for
grand larceny. After his arrest he was taken to
a Norfolk County court. and while his case was
pending the suggestion was made that he was
insane. He was examined by alienists and COM
mitted temporarily 10 the Taunton hospital An
officer from Washington is now here with requi-
sition papers which have been honored by Gov
eTnor Draper.
Through nsel Richardson claims that lie ls
not fugitive from justice within the meaning
Of the provisions Of the Constitution but that
at the time the alleged larceny was committed
he was insane. and consequently II was impos-
sitle for him 10 have committed a crime. lie
also claims that he is insane at the present
time and therefore is not subject TO extraditon.
An order OF notice is made returnable on Mon

All the Rockefeller realty holdings owned in
fee simple by John D. Rockefeller are to be
given to his son, John D Rockefeller, jr.. ac-
cording to a business associate 1t became
known yesterday that following the transfer of
rea! estate holdings Of the elder Rockefeller in
Cleveland TO his son he had transferred also
20 the latter title to the land on which now
stands the Rockefeller Institute of Medical Re
search and other plots in this city.
This has been done. it was said SO that no halt
might occur ir the work of the institute and
other institutions in which the elder Rockefeller
is interested in the event Of his death. Mr.
Rockefeller was seventy years old on July =
and while his present health is good at
any time in the last few years. it is said that
Lee wishes to be prepared for any poss bie con-
tingency.
While the transfer of these titles in this city
and Cleveland augment considerably the wealth

Mr. Rockefeller also gave TO his son title 10

house opposite his old home That house has
been occupied by the ever since his mar

meeting and John d. Rockefeller, tT.. was
chosen a member of the committee to hire

church The new church will have a seating
capacity Of between 100 and 1.JOO, and. it
will occupy a much larger plot than the old
building its site is likely to include the prem
ises Nos. Z, 8 and II West 4Jth street.
The property abutting the site of the
edifice of the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church will
be occupied probably by young Mr. Rockefeler's
Bible class which may erect a building that will
be used for the institutional work of the class

sia-the British government will watch with
interest the efforts of the Nationalists 20 estab
Hsh strong government at Teheran. and may
be depended on to do everything in its power IL
bring about the long hoped for change.
It has been evident for months that so long as
the Shah and his reactionary advisers retained
a vestige of power the Persian problems could
not be solved Now that they are out of the
wav II is believed here that a council Of able
men. carrying on the government under a re
gency, can restore the prestige Of the country
and maintain order. which is so important to
the interests Of Great Britain. It is probable
that as soon as the regular government takes
control the long promised Anglo Russian loan
will be forthcoming the first step toward the
regeneration Of the country

Anglo Russian understanding has stood the test
OF the difficulties of the last few days enables
US to face the future with confidence, The old
rivalry between the two powers. which did 50
much TO keep Persia in state Of unrest will no
longer stand in the way Of reform"
A dispatch 10 The Times" from Teheran says
that an exciting incident marred the arrival Of
General Liakhoff at the Russian Bank to meet
the Bakhtisri chief. AS the gate opened TO ad-
nit General Liakhoff's carriage man rushed
through and was Immediately shot dead by one
Of the soldiers of the regiment holding the

Firing then broke out in all directions. The
Nationalist escort in the bank garden deployed

LORDS DEFY COMNONS.
LansdOune GiUes Wnrning of Com
ing Strife of Houses.

London, July 16.-A statement made to-day
by Lord LansdOwne in political speech makes
It apparent that the Unionist lords intend to
disregard precedent and treat the budget when
it reaches them from the House Of Commons
they would any other measure. Heretofore
the House Of Lords has not interfered with the
financial measures of the government of the
day, the imposition of taxes and expend-
iture being considered entirely in the hands Of
the House of Commons.
Lord LansdOwne said it not likely that
the House of Lords would proclaim that it had
no responsibility in the budget bill that II
was Obliged to swallow the bill whole, because
it mixed up financial affairs. He contended that
it unthinkable that In a country where
there were two chan bers it should be left absO-
Iutey 10 one Of them to impose a new financial
system.
The members OF the government recently
threatened that if the House of Lords inter
fered with the budget they would appeal to the
country on the question of the reform, if not
the abolition. of that house
