in London

QUEBEC, Aug. Shelters and tele-
grams addressed to DR.. Crippen are
accumulating at the provincial JAIL
but he is allowed to receive or an
swer only the cablegrams from Arthur
Newton, his London attorney, relat-
ing to the preparation of his defense.
Fully {. dozen letters and as many
messages have never reached the
prisoner. because Jailer NORM has ad-
Judged them improper to deliver to
man in Crippen's situation. All are
from the United States or Canada,
and most of them from attorneys, put
at least one or two are enclosed in
dainty square envelopes and addressed
in distinctly feminine handwriting
For the first time since her arrest,
Miss Leneve asked today for something
to read The jailer sent her num-
ber of magazines. A fresh batch or
magazines was also sent to Crlppen'
who reads omnivorously.
The week for which DR.. Crippen ana
Miss Leneve, jointly charged with
murder, were remanded by the pro-
vincial court, expired this morning,
but Judge Anglers, before whom they
were originally arraigned, said that
in the ordinary course the prisoners
would not be required TO appear III

DR.. BURTON LAUDS WORK
OF MODERN DRAMATISTS
Lecturer Advises Reading Plays
Before Seeing Production

DIR. Richard Burton addressed a large
and appreciative audience yesterday
morning at the Cumnock School of Ex-
preston. His lecture on Modern
Dramatists" touched on Stephen Phil
lips, Gilbert Murray, Lawrence Bin
yon, Lawrence Houseman and Law
renee Irving.
DR.. Burton dwelt at some length on
the merits of the "Attilla" of Binyon,
which he said reminded him strongly
of Marlowe, who preceded Shakes
peare. He quoted DR.. Samuel Carruth-
ers of Boston, who, when asked what
in his opinion was the greatest type
of manhood, replied, the Captain" "
He also spoke of the talent for writing
a drama compared with the talent for
producing 1t after ii was written, and
quoted Francis Wilson, who said that
ANYONE can write a play, but it takes
a genius to have it produced"
He spoke of the necessity of reading
the drama or play first before seeing
1t produced, and then the advisability
of rereading it after seeing it, so as
not to miss any of the little points
which are often crowded out by the
gallery" playing and the other small
er settings.
DR.. Burton will deliver two addition
al lectures this week. Thursday even
ing he will speak or mark Twain and
American Humor" and Saturday morn
ing "The Latest French Drama" Illus
trated by Rostand's "Chantecler'' and
Maeterlinck's 1.-THE Blue Bird" .
In his lecture on Late French
Drama" Dr. Burton will read from his
own translation of Rostand's "Chante-
cler" No English rendering of this
play has yet appeared in America, ex-
cept in a magazine serial in prose
form. DR.. Burton's translation is in
metrical, dramatic form.
Two lectures remain to be given

WOMAN SUES PARTNER
FOR AN ACCOUNTING

Bertha Leonard yesterday filed suit
in the superior court asking an ac-
counting of the property of herself
and w. E. Johns, with whom she has
been in partnership since 1902, and
with whom she has conducted various
businesses.
They began in a physlcal culture
school management in New York. Ia
1908 they came to Los Angeles and
established themselves in the oil and
boarding house business.
Now she alleges that Johns has been
converting to his own use the profits
of their businesses and that he has in
vested in his name in oil and other
stocks many thousands of dollars, hav-
ing put $4,000 into one concern alone.
She wants the court to order an ac-
counting, the sale of the property and

PROTEST FORMATION OF
= STORM WATER DISTRICT
Contend Lower Duarte Would
Benefit from Action

Many protests were received by the
supervisors yesterday against the for
nation of the lower Duarte storm
water district. and a hearing will be
given the matter Monday morning.
Many of the people who are against
the formation of the lower Duarte dis
trict contend that the district would
not be benefited in any way and there
fore should not be made part of the
storm water district
A protest against it was also re-
ceived from the trustees of the San
Gabriel river levee district, who do
not want the flood waters confined in
the new San Gabriel river bed.
The law provides that if majority
of the assessed property owners pro-
test the supervisors must deny the pc
titlon for the establishing of storm
water district. The protestants claim
to be in the majority and expect to
win their point at the hearing before
the board Monday morning.

ing the game which gave the cham
picnship of the National League to the
Cubs yesterday. Manager Frank l.,

II am prouder of the Cubs than
ever have been in my life. They have
beaten all records for overcoming OBJ
stacles. Never in the history of base
ball did a team win out under such a
heavy handicap of sickness and inJu-
ries. Our regular team has been avail
able only at infrequent intervals. but
the utility men have more than done
their duty But for Zimmerman. Kane
and Beaumont we would not be cele-
brating. I am proud of every one or
them and would not trade my substi-
tutes for the regulars on any other
club.
'.While the INJURY to Johnny Evers
Is a blow, we have been receiving sim
liar blows all the year and We can't
quit and give up hope of landing the

is out. Zimmerman will play second
