COLUMBIA PLAYERS
GO TO BALTIMORE
Popular Company Becomes a
Permanent Organization.

The Columbia Players are to be trans
ferred to Baltimore at the conclusion
of the present season at the Columbia
Theater in this city. Negotiations have
been pending for some time between
the managers and proprietors OF the Or
ganization. Fred G. Berger and Oliver
and Frank Metzerott. on behalf OF the
company that has attained a national
reputation in the three years IT has
been catering to Washington audiences,
and Mr.. James Yourg. representing the
estate Of the late John w. Albaugh,
manager of Albaugh's Lyceum Theater in
Baltimore.
These negotiations we're brought to a
successful conclusion last evening, and
the announcement was officially made
that, following the close of the season
in this city, the company WILL be trans
ferred to Baltimore to inaugurate a sea-
son of stock at A1baugh's Lyceum Thea
ter, beginning Monday evening, Septem-
Der IL. The entire equipment of scenery,
properties, and costumes that has been
amassed here IN the three years the
company has been at the Columbia will
be transferred intact to the Maryland
city, where many of the biggest sue
cesses Of the Washington season will be
repeated
Furthermore, the management has been
especially fortunate in being able to re-
tain the entire membership of the or
ganization, many of those who had al
ready signed contracts for the coming
season having been released as a special
courtesy to the Columbia management.
With the extraordinary financial en-
couragement that has been accorded
them in this city, Managers Metzerott
and Berger aspire to make the Co
lumbia Players a permanent organiza-
ton, in which the people Of Washington
will always have reason to take the
greatest pride

|AVIATORS AVOID
| SERIOUS SMASH
Army Machine Near Collision
with Fox Aeroplane.

A decision made in the fraction of a
second. and perfect control Of the Bur
CESS Wright aeroplane by Lieut. Milling.
Yesterday afternoon prevented what prom
ised to be serious collision between
the army machine and the Fox biplane
Of Frank Kastory at College Park avia-
ton field. After a fight Of about fifty
yards, Kastory. in descending, broke the
end of a plane on his machine. and start
ed back to the hangar. his engines still
running. AS Kastory was crossing the
field, Lieut.. Milling was preparing to
descend after a ten-minute flight. He
saw Kastory, but the Fox aviator was
deafened by the engine Of his aeroplane,
and had no idea of the impending
danger.
When Lieut.. Milling realized Kastory
had not seen him, he quickly brought his
machine to the ground, but could not
stop the progress Of his biplane. Decid-
ing a course without any hesitation, he
made sharp turn to the right. and
stopped the machine just as It crossed
the walk beside the field. The collision
was narrowly escaped, and had It not
been for the mastery of the bipiane by
have been wrecked.
Lieut.. Kirkland, acting in command Of
the army school, started the afternoons
flights when. at about O'Clock. he had
the Burgess Wright machine hauled from
the hangar. He ascended alone, and was
in the air for thirty minutes attaining
an altitude of 1900 feet. This was the
longest flight yet made by Lieut.. Kirt-
land as pilot and sole passenger. After
a few minutes rest, Lieut. Kirkland again
ascended, and circled the field for twelve
minutes

ANOTHER TRAGEDY.
LIKE BEATTIE CASE
Husband, Held for Death of
Wife, Faces Charges.

Pittsburg, Aug 23.-Like the Beattie
case, the killing of Mrs. George Golden
by her husband has now taken the form
OF n triangular domestic tragedy. The
charge is that another woman is respon-
her young husband. who is one OF Kit
tanings most prominent merchants and
active church workers.
Golden, nearly crazed by this new turn
in the distressing tragedy, protests his
innocence. He maintains that he mis-
took his wife for burglar, and did not
realize that he had killed his wife until
lights were made Friends of the ac-
cused man have faith in him and believe
his story, but the report to-day that a
bewitching young widow will be brought
into the case, as the Beulah Binford in
Kittanings tragedy, caused a sensation.
Col W. H. Fairman, retained by rela-
tives of the dead woman to aid in the
prosecution of Golden, declares that wit
nesses are at hand to produce startling
testimony when Golden is arraigned.
Despite the charges, Golden has been ad-
mitted to bail in the sum of $4,000 but
this course was deemed advisable when II
was considered that the evidence was
purely circumstantial.
The body of Mrs. Golden will be ex-
humed for examination.
The prosecution Will claim that Mrs.
Golden was not closing a bedroom win
dow when killed, but she stood in the
doorway leading to the room when the
fatal shots were fired. II had been Gold
ems claim from the beginning that, as
the night was cold, Mrs. Golden had gone
to close q window. He says he was
awakened by the noise and, seeing a
shadow moving about the room, thought
that a burglar had gained admittance
through the window and fired.
Mrs. Jerry Small, a neighbor of the
Goldens. will be the star witness against
him, according to Col. Farman. She Is
reported to have overheard trouble be-
tween the pair the night before Golden
fired the fatal shots.
Golden is a prosperous young merchant
and an active church worker.

SEE MEN DROWN.
Spectators Unable to Aid Motor
Boat Victims.

New York, Aug. E.-Hundreds of
persons watched from the beach the
long and agonizing struggles of two
men clinging to the side of an over
turned and luxuriously furnished mo-
torboat which had run aground on the
Rockaway Shoals this afternoon. The
breakers were so high that spectators
were powerless to help.
Capt. Weigrath braved the shoals In
his motorboat, but could not get close
enough to the craft to aid the men.
Charles E. Rogers, who was with Wei
grath, finally boarded the boat and made
line fast. She was towed to Sleeps
head Bay, but search failed to re-
veal the name of her owner or the iden-
tity of the drowned men. The bodies
had not been washed ashore tonight.
