PROSECUTION FOR
LAND PIRATES IS
BALL|NGERS PLAN
Secretary Also Urges Recovery
of Millions of Acres I'm
lawfully Obtained.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-Secretary
of the Interior Richard A. Ballinger,
in his annual report made public to-
day, makes a vigorous ~denunciation of
land, railway, waterpower and other
pirates who have robbed the govern
ment of millions of acres Of timber,
oil and coal lands and promises to
prosecute them.
In dealing with the timber land
frauds, he says: The liberal and rapid
disposition of the public lands, under
statutes enacted twenty-five years ago,
n the lax methods of administration
which for a long time prevailed, nat
urally provokes the feeling that the
public domain was legitimate prey for
the INSCRIPTIONS and that it was no
crime to violate or circumvent the a
laws.
"It may be safely said that millions
of acres of timber and other lands have
been unlawfully obtained, and 1t Is also
true that actions to recover such lands
have in most instances long since been
barred by the statute of limitations.
THE bold and vigorous prosecution
of land frauds. through Secretaries
Hitchcock and Garfield, has restored a
lCSI " tiiC ie"f 1Ao kEN
public mind has rapidly grasped the
importance of safeguarding h further
disposition of our national In
the public lands In the interest of the
public good as against private greed.
Notwithstanding this. 1t is necessary
to continue with utmost vigor. through
all available sources, the obtaining of
information of violations of h public
land laws and TO follow such violations
with rigid prosecutions"
The Secretary advocates h sup
planting Of the present coal land laws
by an act to meet future conditions.
He says:
81 believe the most advantageous
method will be found in a measure au-
thorizing the lease or sale of h coal
deposits in the lands, subject to for
fixture for failure to exercise the rights
granted, under such reasonable regula-
lions as may be imposed"

BEN GREET PLAYERS WIN
SUCCESS IN THE TEMPEST
Audience Wakes Enthusiastic
Over Brilliant Production.

THE Tempest" as produced by the
Ben Greet Players and the Russian
Symphony Orchestra in the Kruger
Auditorium Saturday afternoon, de-
lighted a large audience. The crown-
ing glory of the afternoon was the
overture Of Tschaikowsky before the
players made their entrance in the
first act. Under the leadership of
Modest Altschuler, the Russian mu-
sicians interpreted the wonderful crea-
ton in their countryman in a man
ner which brought out all of it's beauty
and charm. Under the spell of the
music the audience might easily have
dispensed with the dramatic portion OF
the program and left with HI feeling
that they had been amply rewarded.
The Sullivan and Glazunow incidental
music won heartfelt applause.
As was natural and proper, Ben
Greet was the bright particular star
of the mythical. fanciful Shake
spearean play. He made the savage
and deformed Caliban gruesome, and.
yet possible. and ear enough human to
be acceptable. He was particularly
effective in the scene with Trinculo,
the Jester. and ~Stephano, the drunken
butler, where he was given opportunity
10 6An1OlL HIlduy pldSeS VI LIS dIt'
Trinculo and Stephano were select
lively played by Percival Seymour n
Redmond Flood. Their acting was q
pleasing contrast to some Of the
wooden interpretations of other roles.
Two shining exceptions which relieved
the mediocrity of the performance of
those members of the cast who have
not been mentioned were Violet
vivian's Miranda and George Vivian's
Ariel, both of which were excellently
done.
Considering the wealth Of oppor-
tunity in h role, Frank McI5ntee, as
Prospero, the rightful Duke of Milan,
was most disappointing. In the long
explanatory prelude which might ave
been made interesting and even IRA
matte, he mouthed his lines in a man
ner reminiscent of an amateurs re-
hearsal. Once this dull opening of the
play was past Mr.. Greet and his
other principals redeemed it. Even
