ssYIA WlRELESS' SCORES
 BIG SUCCESS AT JACKSON'S
6plendid Cast Admirably Presents Remarkable Play
 Jack Binns Much In Evidence

to ruin the work of the hero: it car rles all the people necessary to south ern climes and then starts them home in a terrible storm from the clutches of which their yacht is saved only be- cause the heroine has taken up wire less' as fad and is able to call for assistance over the roaring deep-and noble young operator on the great steamship gets the message and sends words of encouragement till he can induce the captain to save the ship wrecked people. The steamship gets them just in time, of course, and the hero bears the half-drowned heroine into the little wireless room just as if there wasn't another place on a great ship where rescued beroines cDuld be cared for.
 In the last act of the play the hero is set right and the wickedness of the steel man who ruined the gun in the forging is exposed. and a very compe- properly with the villain while the hero tells the heroine that he is going to accept her heart and hand and for tune. for he is only one of natures noblemen, lieutenant Tn the navy, and she, ah she is the daughter of the steel trust. E
 The play moves swiftly and the lines that accompany the brisk action are of good quality. The story is inter- estingly told and to those who enjoy the obviousneSS of melodrama the play makes strong appeal There are no heroics shouted out but the scenes of excitement are played at high pres- sure and the audiences yesterday were moved by them to the expression of hearty approval.
 The mounting of the play is elabor- ate and effective, the steel mill in ope- ration and the wireless room of the storm-tossed steamship being particu- larly well displayed on the stage. The acting done in the play was excellent and a feature much appreciated by many was the appearance of, MT Jack Binns, who was the wireless operator on the steamship Republic MT. Binns came before the curtain after the wireless scene of the play and made the statement that the ap paratus used, which is under his care, is similar to that used by him during those trying hours when the wrecked Republic was sending out it's calls for help to all the world.

WINDOWS SMASHED
 IN PREMIER'S CAR
Especial from United Press3

(SpeC1dl rom OnlCeQ freSS.)
 Birmingham, England, Sept. 1S.- Despite the success of the police last night in driving the suffra gettes away from the hall where Premier Asduith made his speech, it developed to-day that a dozen of the constables who as- sisted the police and at least a score of spectators were injured by being struck with stones and sticks in the frequent melees that preceded the meeting.
 The suffragettes were baffled in their attempt to reach the Premier on his arrival in Birmingham, as he went to his hotel through a subway. On his departure, however, the women were more successful and succeeded in smashing every window in the Pre- mier's car.
 Eight of the suffragette leaders were arrested. They fought like tigresses against their incarceration and for a half hour stood off the twenty men and women warders at the jail The furniture in the prison office was smashed in the fight.
 Detectives are Investigating the re- port of a plot to burn Bingiey Hall where the meeting was held
 The suffragettes arrested were ar raigned in court to-day and two of them, Ellen Barnwen and Hilda Bur- ritt, were sentenced to a months inn prisonment. Sentence will be passed on the others later in the day.

STIFF AND MITCHELL
 SEEK SAME OFFICE Berger Bertilson Said to Fla vor Manager of Century Company for Alderman in Third.

Out in the Third district, the small est voting precinct in the city, the Re publicans have two candidates for All derman and it locks as though a hot primary fight would have to be re- sorted to before it will be decided who will go cn the ticket. The candidates are William Stiff of the Century Co.,, and Howard C. Mitchell, foreman with the Singer Mfg. Co.
 ! Both candidates reside on Ellsworth street, and the opinion of the neigh bors upon the question of who would do the most for the street is equally divided. But the concensus of opinion among the neighbors is that Ellsworth street needs more attention in the fu- ture than it has received in the past. Alderman Berger Bertilson does not go out of office this year and his strength in the district will probably have a great deal to do with deciding who the Republican Aldermanic candidate will be this year. Berger is not saying anything but it is understood that he thinks well of Stiff's candidacy.
 As for the Democrats of the Third, they have only one aspirant for AL dermanic honors, Horace B. Bliven, foreman at the plant of the American Tube & Stamping Go. Alderman John H. Cassidy who retires this year does not desire a renominatfon.

Land of Evangeline
 Hartford Mans Claim

Hartford, Sept. .18.-Who owns Aca- dia, the land of Esyangeline?
 tI,'' says Eugene Belisle; "I, a direct descendant of Chevalier Emanuel Le- borgne de Belisle, a French church. man, to whom was given a grant of these broad territories bordering on the St. Lawrence River and the Att lantic in 1657."
 Mr. ,Belisle is a mason tender, with wife and four children, living at 33S Blue Hills avenue. His parents and three brothers live in Springfield, Mass. For years the Be1isles have known the story, but it has remained for one of the present generation to begin action to get back the land or a share of it.
 Many lawyers in this country and Canada have almost unanimously granted the existence and authority of the grant and the relationship borne by MT. Belisle. He hopes to receive information before long which will warrant further proceedings. He is very hopeful of a favorable out come.
 Should the family's claim to even a part of the territory be allowed it would make them all immensely wealthy. The grant gave fishing rights the length of St. Lawrence River and conveyed to the proprietor "the lands, ports, rivers, lakes, forests, &c., er- erything contained in the vast area.

Via Wireless. presented at Jack Ions Theatre last night with Jack Binns along to explain about the wire less instrument. proved that it's suc- cess last year was due to it's merits and it's popularity not aroused by the saving of an ocean liner. The com pany throughout was effective;> the play while sensational, is one of the finest of it's kind ever presented here and the production deserves packed house tonight. A large and apprecia- tive audience was present last evening and again at the matinee this after noon.
 One of the most satisfactory mem- bers of the cast is Frank, Monroe, who plays the calm and efficient Secret Ser vice. man.
 In quietest manner and with surest of dramatic touches MT. Monroe man. aged to dominate every scene in which he appeared; his humor was well dis played and his serious purpose, to right the wrong that had been done, was admirably shown. John Sain- polls played the hero of the play, the his custom. He made the man human and did all that he had to do, fighting and love-making, with sincerity and good grace.
 . B. Miitern acted the villain and did not once raise his voice. William B. Mack played the inventor, who went crooked for a time through the villains conniving but eventually came out straight, and played him well. Francis D. McGfnn was effective as a drunken foreman and Joseph Kauf- man played the wireless operator with a great deal of fervor. The scene in which he appears gives him excellent opportunities.
 Muriel Starr played the heroine quietly and with good effect, and Maud Granger acted a rather conven7 tional mother as well as the part would permit. A fresh stenographer at the steel works was played by George Drew Mendum.
 The story is considerably involved and the scenes fit from Pittsburg to Porto Rico, to the wireless room of steamship and back again to the smoky regions The action takes the audience into the secrets of big gun forgipg and shows the methods em- ployGd by the wicked man of the play

At all events, Mrs. Hartman under the terms of the will becames the wealthiest woman in the world Harriman's will is the shortest document ever drawn in con- veyance Of a. muIti-millionaire's estate, and Mrs. Hartman is left in absolute freedom to dispose of the property as she, may see fit.
