THE Servant in the House.n
THE Servant in the House" has been
called the most daring play ever pre-
sented on the American stage because
of Its central character. Manson, whom
many critics call a reincarnation OF
the Christ. It is bold and fearless
attack on the hypocrisies of conven-
l.onal society and conventional re-
ligion, but 1t assails recognized abuses,
and is not. as has been said by some
reviewers, "a sensational assault" on
any established religion. And the
truth of It's keen satire has been recog-
nized and applauded by the foremost
clergymen OF America.
Above all. the play is a delightful
entertainment, which is the secret Of
it's remarkable popular success. AL

BillOw-tamer.

BALTIMORE Oct. 3l.-The crew of
the Norwegian bark Mastorea, II men
in all, were brought here today on
the fruiter Juan, from Jamaica. The
seamen were rescued during the West
Indian hurricane a week ago yester-
day by the British bark River Platte
and taken to the island. Their vessel,
which was bound from Gulfport, Miss,
to Buenos Ayres. was abandoned in a
sinking condition.
The members of the crew OF the Mas
torea went through a most thrilling
experience. Their vessel rapidly filling
age, the lifeboats disabled and a hur-
ricane Wind still hurting mountainous
seas over the derelict, the men had all
but abandoned hope when the River
Platte was sighted. When the latter
vessel came near enough the crew Of
the Mastorea embarked in their dam
aged lifeboat, which sank to the gun
wales, and was only kept af1oat by the
air tanks. Although the boat put
away from the Mastorea at noon, x
was 8 p. m. before the last mar was
safely aboard the River Platte. That
they were saved at all is attributed TO
the use of oil, which had been thrown
overheard from the ship in an effort
to keep her afioat as long as possible.
Finally getting their rowboat into the
area covered by the oil, the River
Platte was able to get alongside and
the men were hauled to her deck by
means of a lifeline.

81 am very sorry to have to send a
young man of your age to States
prison, but in your case you deserve it.
Yours is one of the most fragrant cases
of 'white-slavery' that has ever come
to my attention.
In these words Judge Thomas A.
Davis, in Quarter Sessions Court, today
sentenced Frank Cascella, 10 years old,
to serve a term of five years in the
State prison at Trenton. Cascella was
convicted by a jury in Judge Davis's
court on October 10 of living off the
earnings of a young girl named May

There are a number of other young per
sons In Newark interested in your trial
and for that reason I am going to i'm

tence was passed pom him, and seemed
relieved to get away from the bar tc

scathing words of Judge Davis, which
were delivered before a courtroom full
of people.

GUGGENHEIM NEED NOT

Supreme Court Denies Govern

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-Additional
duty. amounting to about $4,000, on
the $685. 900 string of pearls Norris Gug-
genheim, the New York smelling mill
lionaire. bought several years ago for
his wife, cannot be collected, according
TO the effect of n decision today of the
Supreme Court Of the United States.
The Federal Court at New York held
that $4,000 was enough duty on the
pearls, which had been imported from
Paris by Tiffany 81 Co, at the request
of Mr.. Gu%ggenheim. The government
wanted the pearls classed as set or
strung, on which a high rate of duty
would have been collectible. Attorneys
for Tiffany & Co.. from whom the ad-
ditional duty was demanded, argued
that on account of the peculiar word
ing OF the Payne-Aldrich tariff law
neitL.er the Supreme Court nor the new
Customs Court of Appeals could review
such decision of the lower Federal
court, rendered between February .,
1910. and April %. 1910.

1t is expected that today's receipts
