HEROINE OF IRISH
Is LADY GREGORY
Comes to Capital with the
Dublin Players.

A charming, silver-haired woman. with
gentle gray eyes, which gleam with Celtic
humor came to Washington last evening
beloved by countless OF her fellow
beloved by countless Of her felIow-coun-
countrymen and coUntrywomen, be
cause some seven years ago. in
true and unfailing inspiration. she
founded that now famous organization
from the Abbey Theater, Dublin, known
as the Irish Players, who will be seen at
the Belasco next week in a repertoire of
their characteristic plays.
Lady Gregory is to-day enshrined in
Irish hearts along with william Butler
Yeats, John NJ. Synge, and other literary
folk because of the great artistic move
ment they have given to the world. When
she came to the United States with the
Irish Players about ten weeks ago, 1t
was with the prestige of having estab-
lished a strong, successful, permanent
national drama in Ireland. Hers had
been the major share Of the labor and TO
her belonged much of the credit when the
movement was successful
I'VE have had a gracious reception in
America she said last night, and l am
ceeply gratifed. Our season in Boston
has been a success, and throughout New
England we have met with great enthus-
!asm. At Yale We found hundreds of
students who were most emphatic admir-
ers Of the Synge, Yeats, and Shaw plays,
and the same was true at Smith and
Holyoke colleges, where many of the
girls had taken part in amateur produc-
uons of our smaller one-act pieces.
Undoubtedly the chief play of our rep
ertoie is the beautiful Synge comedy,
The Playboy of the Western World This
play rarely fails to excite the widest in
terest especially from the Irish. and In
some cities has been a storm of critical
controversy. Another play of OURS which
bears the distinction of having been
barred from the English stage by the
lord chamberlain, who is the official dra-
matte censor, is Bernard Shaw's The
Showing Up of Blanco Posnet.' This
drama is a characteristic drama of
Shaw's, and is certain to prove Of wide
interest to the Washington public"
Lady Gregory will stay in Washington
throughout the entire week with the Irish
Players, and already has been besieged
with many invitations to lecture in the
city, including one from the Catholic Uni
versity. The organization will go 10
Days Theater. New York, directly from
Washington, supplanting Nine Simone,
the celebrated French actress, in that
playhouse.

STANLEY FAYORS
FREE WOOD PULP
1t Might Break Paper Trust,
Says Investigator.
a convention.

Chairman Stanley. of the steel inves-
tigating committee is in favor of break
ing the paper trust by permitting the
free importation OF wood pulp and print
paper from Germany. Norway, and
Sweden.
Il have not given much thought to the
question:" he said yesterday but It
seems 10 me a good thing to reach the
paper trust in this way, II 1t can be
done. l cannot imagine II will make such
a difference in our revenues that the
Ways and Means Committee cannot find
a way to recoup. We are going TO be less
eXtravagant, also, in our expenditures
and will not need the vast sums of money
appropriated by the Republican Congress,
which money had to be raised oy exces-
sive taxation. The people are long suf-
fering, but they have grown tired of this
burden
Il have contended always that much of
this taxation was in the interests Of the
trusts. The people will welcome both
reduced taxation and the smashing OF the
trusts
We favored free wood pulp and print
paper from Canada to aid our people in
their fights against the extortions of the
paper trust Why should we not favor
extension of this privilege, II 1t be one,
to other countries to further our fight
against the paper trust?'

DIRECT PRIMARY
VOTE IS.FAVORED
Progressiyes Appeal to Re-
publican Committeeman.

Walter L Houser, chairman of the
Progressive Republican campaign COM
mittee, the La Toilette organization
which has extensive headquarters here,
has appealed to the chairman of Re
publican State committees in every State
to provide for a Presidential primary.
I'VE favor" says Mr.. Houser, the
ascertainment OF the choice Of Repub-
lican voters as to candidates for Presi-
dent and Vice President from a direct
primary vote held in each State pur-
suant to statute, and, where no such
statute exists. We urge that the Repub-
lican State committee provide that the
people be given the right to express their
choice for President.
In many States there is a legal pro-
vision for direct nomination of State
officers Where this is the case, 1t will
not be difficult for the State committee
to make supplementary arrangements for
Presidential preference primaries.
In behalf of the Republican progress
sive campaign committee, I urge you.
and through you your fellow-members
of the Republican States, to take steps
to enable the Republicans of that State
directly to express their choice for the
Republican nomination for President, by
law, If possible, and II not, by action of
your committee. II is obvious that no
nominee selected, despite the wishes Of
the rank and file of the Republican
party, can inspire the confidence or COM
mand the united and enthusiastic sup
port which will be so necessary to Re-
publican success In 1872 Apart from
the intrinsic merit of the plan for d.
rect popular nomination of the Presi-
Dental candidate next year, 1t is to be
noted that friends of Senator La Fol-
lette are ready to submit his name for
nomination to a direct vote Of the rank
and file of the Republican party"

INDICTMENT WEAK
In COTTON CASE
Solicitor General Lehman
Shows Significant Feature.

Arguments were concluded in the Su-
preme Court yesterday in the cotton
corner cases brought by the government
against Patten and others. under the
criminal clause of the Sherman act For
mer Senator SpoOner concluded his argu-
ment and George Merrick, Of Chicago,
attorney for James A. Patten, one of the
defendants, spoke briefly. Solicitor Cen
eral Lehman concluded the argument for
the government.
The significant features Of the case
yesterday was an admission by the So
hcitor General that certain counts in the
indictment against the defendants were
weak and the insistence by Chief JUS
tice White that under the rule of the
cotton exchange actual delivery of cotton
was required. This was contended for
yesterday by the Solicitor General, who
differentiated deals in bucket shops from
trades on the exchanges by saying that
the rules of the exchange required deliv-
cry. Because of this rule, he argued, a
corner run on the exchange worked a re-
straint of trade by controlling the price,
whereas in bucket shops deals. where de-
livery was never contempla ted, the price
of the commodity was not affected.
Mr.. Lehman, in answer to a question
of the Chief Justice, admitted that the
several defendants might have sold their
cotton to one another. there being no
allegation in the count that there was an
agreement as to sales.
The author Of the count seems TO
nave had in mind the object of drawins.
1t so that it would allege the minimum
to constitute an Offense against the Sher-
man law" said the Solicitor General
whether he went too low in striving
for a minimum is the question We are
here to determine"

UTILITIES BOARD
MEANS TRANSFERS
Commissioners Concur in
FederatiOn's Belief.

The Commissioners yesterday an
nounced their concurrence in the beief
OF the Federation Of Citizens Assocla-
tions that the quickest and sureSt way
to obtain universal transfers in the DIS
trict is to have Congress at the coming
session pass a bill providing for the
creation of a public utilities commission
in the District. The Commissioners say
that If the commission is created and
they are made the members, there VIII
be no delay in the Inauguration OF the
reciprocal transfer question.
At its first meeting this season the
Federation of Citizens Associations
passed a resolution urging the passage
Of bill providing for the establishment
District. There is some question. how
ever, as to whether the District Com
missioners would be the best persons to
constitute the personnel of the commits
sion. The federation is certain that il
such a commission is created the uni
versal transfers will be forthcoming
without delay. Every effort will be
made at the coming session of Congress
to obtain the passage of a bill providing
for such a commission.
The Commissioners yesterday presented
their views after granting the temporary
conference for the consideration OF the
question OF universal transfers hearing
for next Tuesday morning, at 10 o'clock.
in the District Building. After fixing
the date, Commissioner Rudolph said
that he did not see the object of the
hearing. as the Commissioners at pres
ent were unanimously in favor of recip-
rOcal transfers. and for some time had
been lending their efforts toward obtain
ing legislation in that direction. Next
Tuesday morning. however. the officials
of the conference will explain to the
Commissioners that they want them to
indorse the bill which has just been
drafted by subcommittee of the con-
ference, and which has received the in
dorsement Of a number of civic organi-
cations. The conference wants the Com
missiOners to indorse the bill, so that
the efforts for legislation along this line
at the coming session OF Congress will
be concentrated and consequently more
effective.
The Commissioners will be asked to
have the corporation counsel examine
the bill and offer any suggestions with
respect to its phraseology.

Mrs. Nellie Nicastro, His Former
Spouse, VIII Receive Amount for
Support of ChIId-DecIares He
Deserted Her Three Years Ago
and Lavished Money on Others.

While Mrs Nellie Nicastro, of S24
Thirteenth street northwest, was on the
witness stand in the Juvenile Court yes
terday afternoon, telling Judge De Lacy
how her husband, John B. Maestro, Of
800 Second street northwest, had de-
serted her and their little child. three
years ago, and now he had been lavish
ing his money on other women, a young
woman rushed into the court room and
announced that she was the lawful wife
of the defendant. The woman told the
court that Maestro had married her in
Reno. Ney., after obtaining a divorce
from his first wife.
The young woman said her maiden
name was Frances Richardson; that her
first husband died; that she met and
fell in love with Nicastro, and that in
order to effect a marriage and still get
safely without the reach Of the law they
journeyed to Reno and were legally de-
clared man and wife.
Ignorant of Law.
Mrs RIchardson-Nicastro argued that
as her husband was divorced from Mrs
Nellie Maestro he was not legally un-
der obligation to support the child. But
the court at once advised the young
law of common sense and justice, and
informed her that Maestro had brought
life into the world and that It was his
duty to support that life.
Mrs. Maestro No. l testified that her
husband was waiter at a fashionable
MOTEL, and that he received between s.
and S6-a day, including tips. Mrs Meas
tro said her husband left her in April,
1893 In order to bestow his affections on
storeroom girl. of the name Of Rose,
who was employed at the hostelry with
the waiter. The wife said that her hus-
band admitted to her that he went
around with other women and that he
expressed the opinion that his actions
were perfectly right Mrs. NIcastro told
New York with Rose
But Rose wasn't the only woman in
the case" said the wife Il got a tele-
gram from my husband once when he
was in Baltimore, in which he took great
pride in informing me that he had spent
the previous night with a young woman
in hotel drinking highballs."
Imposes Fine of $500.
Judge De Lacy Iectured the defendant
on his duty and then imposed a fine of
$500, which will be paid TO Mrs Meas
tro No. l. In default Of payment Meas
tro will spend six months at Occoquan.
The waiter told the court that he was
perfectly willing to get off that easy.
but explained that ii would be a day or
two before he would be able to pay the
specified amount. Until the cash is sup
piled Maestro will remain locked up.

MRS. QUINN HELD
TO GRAND JURY
Woman Will Be Charged
with Staying Husbands.

Chicago. Nov. 1o.-Mrs. Jane Quinn,
thrice strangely widowed. was ordered
TO a cell by a coroner's jury to-day
charged with the murder of her third
husband. She was held without bail
Following is the verdict constituting the
jury's answer to Mrs. Quinn's statement
that a burglar killed her husband:
We the coroner's jury find that John
NJ. Quinn came to his death in his home,
1850 Michigan avenue, from shock and
hemOrrhage from bullet wound
through the chest cavity, said bullet
fired from a revolver held in the hand
of one Jane Quinn, in the bedroom OF
his home, on November .. and from the
evidence presented, We the jury recon-
mend that the said Jane Quinn be held
to the grand jury on a charge of murder
until released by due process of law"
One of the most damaging factors to
the woman's case was the police record
showing that in a year and a half she
had four times reported burglaries in her
home. Each tee, according to Lieut..
Mooney. of the Kensington police sta
ton, money was taken from the family
funds and the woman took a journey
out of town.
Mrs. Quinn was unmoved blythe YER
dict Throughout the inquest she dis
speak n word even to her attorneys.
While the inquest was in progress to-
day the police charge Of murder was
called for hearing in the Hyde Park
Court. The case was continued until to-
morrow. when Mrs. Quinn will be for
mally arraigned and by a second process
bound over to the grand jury. Only two
witnesses were examined at the final ses-
sion OF the inquest. They were ]. w.
Miller, the boarder, whose revolver dis
appeared before the crime and was found
in the bathroom afterward, and Capt.
Alcock. Miller merely added to his pre-
vious testimony the statement that he
had gone to summon the police. The cap
tain said he had found Mrs. Quinn lying
on the bed. apparently prostrated by the
shock of her husbands death.
When the verdict was read, George F.
Barrett, one of the womans attorneys,
was asked what he thought of It.
"Oh, we'll, I expected it." he replied.
1t was evident that Mrs. Quinn had sx-
pected 1t, too. OF more significance than
the inquest was the police activity dudng
the day Detectives were sent to Jack
son, Mich. where John Mcdonald, Mrs.
Quinn's first husband, died suddenly, sup
posedly of alcoholic poisoning, and to
Kalamazoo. where the second husband,
Warren Thorpe, was shot to death in
almost the same manner that Quinn was
slain.
