SfflY UNDAUNT[D
: BY ORPAEUM FIAT
Morris Manager Says Independ-
ent Vaudeville Theater and
Rival Circuit Assured

"The San Francisco theater which
will house the William Norris attrac-
tions has been financed" said Walter
Hon seeIy, vice president and manager
of the western wing of the Morris cor
poration yesterday, and the institution
will supply independent vaudeville to
the public in spite of the assertions OF
anybody to the contrary.
This statement was made by way of
rejoinder to the published interview
with Morris Meyerfeld Jr., president OF
the Orpheum circuit, printed in yes
terday's Call.
There is room for two vaudeville
concerns operating high class attrac-
tions in this country just as there is
room for rival concerns in any line OF
activity" said Seely.
The independent movement was
started by William Morris Immediately
after the fight between the vaudeville
interests and the invaders, klaw o. Er-
LANCER, was over. Many acts-the best,
in fact, that Klaw e. Erlanger had Sc
cured-had been treated summarily by
the vaudeville powers. and when the
fight was over Morris, Klaw & Erlan-
gers agent, found himself on the side
walk surrounded by a lot of high class
acts. He became their champion, and
from being Klaw G. Erlanger's booking
manager in their vaudeville operations
he became an independent 1t is this
fact that gives Morris standing with
the PLAYERS. They will flock to him as
soon as he has his chain Of theaters
established.
az am in this fight said William
Morris to Martin Beck in my presence,
and 1 propose to develop the best
there is in vaudeville, and make you
give the public better shows, as well as
give them better performances myself
isn't room in this broad land for rival
vaudeville interests is not shared by
u.s." continued Seely. Morris has es-
tablished enough theaters and supplied
them with attractions to prove the
truth of our contentious. There is room
for both, and we will assume our place
in spite of the obstacles which have
been placed in our way"
William Perkins, president of the
United realty company, which controls
the property in Ellis street back of
the Orpheum, where the Morris Ameri-
can music hall is to be located said
Yesterday that he hoped to have all
tenants now occupying the land where
on the building is to be erected out by
December i. One tenant may not be
able to find another location until De-
cember Is, at which time at the latest,
Perkins said, ground would be broken
and active building begun.

DECISION PROTECTS
AMERICAN PATENTS
German Court Rules in Favor OF
United States Co. Under
Government Compact

: LEIPZIG. Nov 26.-The imperial su-
preme court today rendered decision
in which 1t interpreted the patent
agreement between Germany and the
United States in favor of an American
company which has branch office III
Berlin.
This branch office obtained letters of
patent under the German law, but 1t
failed to place the invention on the
market within three years, as specified
by the German statute. Thereupon
German brought suit to vacate the pat
ent rights, and the patent Office decided
in his favor.
The court today declared that the
patent Office must renew the letters of
patent, as the German American agree
ment guaranteed reciprocal treatment

THE MATTHEWS FAMILY.
George Matthews Was the Forebear
of the Garrett County Branch.

To the Editor of The Republican:
Quite recently paper was published
in your enterprising journal in reference
to the Compton family. 1t appeared
to be interesting and satisfactory to
many persons. '::yet | believe a supple
ment or addition can with propriety
follow 1t: especially with the Matthews
branch of it.
George Matthews was born near
Frostburg about 1901. He died July 16,
1889, aged IS years. His loving wife,
Lydia Compton Matthews, survived I'M
til February %, 1908, when she died on
the ancient Selbysport farm, aged 81
years, 7 months and % days. There
were of this suitable marriage thirteen
children in all: Eight sons and five
daughters-eight still living, four of
each sex.
An intelligent daughter writes that
there are surviving eight children:
twenty grand children, nineteen great
grand children and two great-great-
grand chill rem, now in the fifth degree.
There is at least one person living
who has CLEAN of recollection of
George Matthews when he was stage
driver; later tavern keeper, and still
further along a merchant at the Little
Crossings, and even his marriage to the
pretty young Lydia Compton. He be-
came dissatisfied with his former vOca-
tions and sold or traded his store to
Daniel Smouse of Selbysport for his
fine farm, upon which Matthews and
his young family located and lived to
the end of the lives of the two worthy
parents. George Matthews had no
taste for office or politics, but he was
once County Commissioner for old
Allegheny, IN the early eighteen fifties.
He had half brother, William Sheetz,
once hotel keeper on the old National
road, died in Iowa some years ago in his
high-up nineties. There was consider
able longevity in this wide family.
In the paper heretofore published
there is an error, no doubt Topographic
cal, in reference to Henry Compton, the
lone survivor of the ancient Robert
Compton. He was not minister, but
has two sons: Willard Fillmore, and
William who are prominent ministers
of the NJ E. church of the West Vir-
ginia Conference. This correction is
made with pleasure with the aid of one
of the daughters of Matthews, very
bright intelligent lady of the practical
useful order. J. B.

State Expert Tells Of Butter Making

Showing that Pennsylvania furnishes
peculiar advantages for farm butter
makers Prof. H. E. VanForman, head
of the department of diary husbandry
in the State College School of Agricul-
ture, outlined rules to be followed in
order to insure a satisfactory product
He.said:-
Milk contaminated by dust or dirt
from the stable or TANKS of the animals
at milking time can never be restored
to its original quality. The strainer
takes out only the solid material, but
cannot remove that which has dissolved
to say nothing of the undesirable bac-
terra sresultant from a laxity toward
cleanliness.
"Churnings should be made at least
two or three times week, as the older
the cream the less excellent the quality
of the butter. Separate the cream as
soon as possible after milking, and then
cool byiplacing the can of cream in cold
water. Don't guess the chill of the
water, but use thermometer, and be
sure that it registers temperature Of
so degrees Farenheit or less.
"Twenty-four hours before churning
the cream should be warmed up to be-
tween 65 and rs degrees, and maintain
ed there until pleasantly sour taste is
noticeable, and a velvety, smooth ap-
pearance is perceptible. Then cool it
down to temperature of 60 degrees or
below, and hold there for a couple of
hours before churning. This should
give firm body. The time required to
ripen the cream will usually be from
eighteen hours TO day, depending on
how well the terminating temperature
iskept.
"Churning should be done at that
heat which will bring butter within
twenty to forty minutes, and have
found that it will become firm best be-
tween fifty six and sixty-two degrees.
Never fill the churn to third its capa-
city, and remember that thin cream,
sweet cream and cold cream cause diff
fcult churning.
In working the butter care should
be taken to avoid its becoming greasy,
neither should the hands touch the but
ter. A 'V'-shaped table with lever,
one1end of which is fastened at the GER
ter of an angle in such a manner as to
afford an easy movement in every di-
rection, is very convenient and effici-
ent worker Shape the butter in rec
tangular prints of pound or more;
wrap them neatly in parchment paper "
