Barrie On Suffragettes.

With two New York leaders of fash
women, Mrs. Oliver H. P Belmont and
Mrs. Clarence Mackay, with our coasts
almost daily invaded by English suf-
fragette missionaries either militant
or persuasive, J. M. Barries shreWd
ard whimsical views on the subject
cause a great deal of entertainment
and discussion among the crowds that
nightly throng Charles FrOhmans
Empire theater to see Maude Adams
in What Every Woman Knows" The
subject is touched upon with a very
light hand and humOrously as we'll
Tut that is Barrie's way at his most
serious moments. However, after he
has had his joke, in which he makes
Maggie Shaud (Maude Adams) say of
one of the suffragette leaders, shes
only been in Jail once, but bites po-
licemen, I'VE gets the kernel of wisdom
which he always seems to have up his
sleeve. And we get it from the lips of
wise Maggie" who fights the hardest
battle it is siven a woman to fight
for the love Of a husband who doesn't
love her and who wins. This deep, in
tGitive, thoughtful, practical Maggie
has been asked why she too, doesn't
join the suffrag ette cause and she
answers promptly. 81 have never had
brains enough to understand the wom-
an question" One can almost hear Mr..
Barrie chuckle as Miss Adams delivers
that line in her serious, polite man.
ner and with the elfin laugh In her
eyes. And one can hardly help suspec-
ting that, however gallant Mr.. Barrie
may be, and however willing that
women should vote if they want to, he
does not consider the ballot as i'm
portant to their welfare as some other
matters.

in any pretense tina, a play is fairly
representative of the book from which
ii processes to be taken. The better
the original story the less satisfactory,
as an epitome of it, is the dramatic
version likely to be. In all cases of
this kind the important question is
not how much of the parent novel has
the adapter been able to preserve, but
what sort of a play has he been able to
construct out of his selected frag-
ments
Evidently, there is a considerable
amount of good melodramatic material
in THE Right of Way, and in the
hands of such capable players as P.
Aug. Anderson, Hallett Thompson. and
Miss Arleen Hackett, it is easy to be-
iieve that an interesting performance
will be given which will be augmented
by the original production.

Part of the Old Home.
land ports, the coming and going of
clipper ships, laden with Maine lum-
Der and many other products, by sug-
gestion and appeal aroused In the
| youth love Of the sea and its adven-
lures. Lieut.. Peary's distinct ambi.
! ton to discover the pole is known to
have been born in him as a result Of
the Greeley expedition and its relief.
He was then a young officer In the
navy, as were q number of those
/ prominent in the work of exploration
at that time, and hence tbs glory
which now shines upon the water arm
of Uncle Sans military service by
reflection.
It is strange how soon we are for
gotten. People who knew Lieut..
Peary's father are not now certain Of
his Christian name. Charles H.
PeaTy Of Chest Springs, a cousin Of
the explorer and who spells his name
Perry, calls the neutenant's father
I Charles Peary. Ex-Judge A. V. Bark
er of Ebensburg is certain his name
was George, 1t has been suggested
that perhaps his name was George
, Charles Peary. However that may
be, Mr.. and Mrs. PeaTy on coming into
this county located in the woods near
what is now Cresson, where Peary
established a shook shop. A house
standing on the turn of the road from
Cresson to Loretto, about 100 yards
from the town, is now generally ac.
cepted by the people of the county as
occupying part Of the site Of the orig
inal Peary home, and is said to actu-
ally include fragment Of the old
building.
It was in that house that Robert q.
Peary was born, and there, two or
three years later, his father died.
Frank O'Hara, an old farmer living in
Munster township, recalls Peary's
birth clearly and tells a story of the
elder Peary sending a messenger in a
conveyance to point some distance
away to fetch a physician. "Kill the
horse II you have to-" Mr.. Peary is al
legged TO have said to the driver, but
get the doctor here in a hurry" And
It's another reminiscence Of O'Hara
that the elder Peary, who died at Gal.
Htizin, was buried amid a blizzard.
THAT was like the north pole itself"
says the aged Munster man. Peary
was buried at Cape Elizabeth. Me.
The only basis for the claim that
Peary was born at Chest Springs is
the residence there of his cousin.
Charles H. Peary's father. James
Peary, came from Maine about tha
same time as George Peary did, but
instead Of locating at Cresson. settled
at Chest Springs and there his chill.
dren have resided ever since.
George Peary, fortunately. left
enough Of an estate to make II possi.
bic for Mrs. Peary to educate her son
thoroughly and he finally found his
way TO the Naval academy.

PEARYS BIRTHPLACE
Explorer First Saw Light of Day
Near CreSSOn, Pa.
LeVe Of Sea and Adventure an inher'
tied TraIt-Ambitious TO Find Pole
Ever Since He Was Young
Naval officer.

JohnstoWn, Pa.-The movement from
Maine to Cambria county, in the fifties,
which brought to this district the
prominent Barker and other families,
also made it possible for Cresson,
nearly the highest point In the county,
to claim the honor Of having been the
birthplace Of Lieut.. Robert Edmund
Peary, most daring and most per-
sistent Arctic explorer Of modern
times and claimant for the title Of
DiscoYerer Of the Pole. The father Of
Peary was not bothered about polar
discovery. The building of shook
shops" and the manufacture and ship
ment Of shook and slaves TO many
distant points was his life work.
Maine afforded ample opportunity for
the lumber industry with its vast tim
Der acreage, bat for some reason the
elder Peary thought Cambria county
Pa, also a virgin wooded land, better
suited for his purpose, so he located
at point now generally admitted to
be on the outskirts Of Cresson.
Psary's naval career sheds an inter
esting light on the question of in
hsrited traits and predictions. The
elder Peary, an Englishman, trans
planted to Maine, came from forbears
who loved the sea. For some reason
he did not share this fondness for the
bounding wave and deliberately left
the shore line for 3 life far in the in
terror, away from even inland lakes.
But after his fathers death Robert
q. Peary, then a little boy, was taken
back to Maine by his mother, and as a
result Of his life on the coast and his
education the youngster instinctiveIy
went back to the life of his ancestors.

do the flying at the international contest.
Since men began flying for money"
said Mr.. Ryan, no such opportunity has
ever been offered for them TO win prizes
honestly and easily as at Belmont Park.
The sum of S50G60 will be offered in cash
prizes. and every prize is put up to be
won. Besides that, have established
q system of profit sharing whereby the
aviators are to receive a very large share
OF all the profits of the meeting after the
necessary expenses are paid 1t now seems
probable that with good weather we shall

ADVISES CLUBS FOR THUGS
Baker Instructs Patrolmen to
Suppress Aggressive Gangs.

Annsrentlv an order issued by Mayor
Gaynor several months ago regarding the
use of the might stick has been misin-
terpreted by the members of the police
force. And had It not been that more than
half dozen patrolmen Of the East loith
street station were beaten so severely that
they had to go to hospitals after conflicts
with members of the car barn gang, the
order might still have remained unex-
planned.
Although Commissioner Baker has not
made known the plan he intends to put into
effect Immediately for the suppression or
the gangs and the thugs throughout the
citv the knowing ones at Police Head
quarters had it yesterday that the word
let loose with your clubs will soon be
issued.
Contrary to reports. Commissioner Baker
said that he issued an order short time
ago in which the patrolmen were advised
not to hesitate to bring their sticks into
pIav if thev were unable to restore order or
if attempts were made to rescue prisoner.
He added that there was nothing that
either the Mayor or himself had said that
would warrant patrolman in submitting
TO an assault by hoodlums against whom
he is acting in his capacity as a peace
officer. The Commissioner said that IL was
only a short time ago that the Mayor In
a communication to him made it plain that
a patrolman should use his club whenever
he believed its use was necessary.
