PLAY PIRACY.

hlaW and Granger are beginning
a very active fight against play piracy
in connection with three of their
prominent successes The Pink Lady"
"Ben-Hur" and "Rebecca of Sunny
brook Farm" Within six months
there have been four of the smaller
repertory managers who have attempt
ed to make productions Of spurious
dramatizations of "Rebecca of Sun
1ybrook Farm but in each case they
have been caught and stopped. klaw
and Erlanger succeeded last year in
obtaining an injunction in the United
States Circuit Court and on appeal in
the United States Court of Appeals.
preventing managers Of picture hous-
es from presenting the films which
show the race scene in "Ben-Hur' and
other portions of that celebrated dra-
matiZation of Lew Wallace's we'll
known tale. In two instances mana.
ger violating the Injunction have been
sent to Jail for short terms. The pre-
sent activity is brought by the efforts
of vaudeville performers and the
smaller musical shows to give color
able limitations of the music and &C
ton of The Pink Lady" Klaw and
Erlanger will prosecute to the fullest
extent of the law both civilly and
criminally all persons who attempt to
use any portion of THE Pink Lady

one OF the names that have been
brought in from that faraway section
these two are the most conspicuous.
There will be an insistant demand
made on President Taft that he APP
point a progressive as Justice Harlan's
successor. Both Democratic and Re-
publican progressive senators intend
to tell the President plainly that there
will be absolutely no chance for con-
firmation by the Senate of the nomi-
nation of reactionary type of justice.
These liberal, or radical senator's, are
determined that the dead Justices seat
shall be filled by a progressive type
of Judge. Some of the progressive
senators have not hesitated to openly
state that the appointment of re-
dictionary by the President will not
meet with official approval of the Sen
ate. AS an objection by one Senator
to a confirmation by the Senate in
executive session can hold up that
confirmation, it Is seen that the pro-
gressives, If they stick by their an
nounced intention. will be either able
to dragon President Taft in appoint
ing the kind of a man they want, or
by holding up the appointment pre-
vent the vacancy from being filled un-
til there is a Democratic president, as
now seems likely after 1912. These
senators evidently have the whip hand
over the President in the situation.
OF course all this may be mere talk.
and when the President sends in the
nomination in December it may be
promptly confirmed, whether the ap-
pointee is reactionary or progressive.
Senators who are urging this point
claim that the attention of the whole
Is focused on the Supreme court as
never before, and the attitude of the
court toward the great trusts is caus-
ing the people to watch this tribunal
with jealous eye,
OF course nobody knows whether
Mr.. Taft intends to appoint react
ionary type to the vacancy or not, but
the progressives believe that he will
do so, If possible. They base their
beliefs on his other appointments.
Mr.. Taft. however, is not worrying
over the question at present. being too
busy with his fence fixing" on his

Prosecuting Attorney, in His

Denver. Nov. 29.-It is regarded as
probable that the fate of Gertrude Glib

Woman Pale in Court.
During the reading of the instruc-
tions Mrs. Patterson's face was waxen
in its pallor. This appearance deepened
as Prosecutor Benson. laying stress on
every bit of testimony which he be-
lleved told against the defendant. In
measured tones, addressed the jury.
When Mrs. Patterson entered the
court room her face was very pale and
deep circles under the eyes gave evil
dence of sleepless night.
Mrs. c. a. Jones, who testified yes
terday that she had witnessed an as
sault by Patterson on his Wife, was
recalled by the state and compelled to
admit that Jones was not really her
husbands name nor her own.
Mrs. Mary K. Patterson, mother of
the slain man being recalled, testified
that she had paid all the expenses at
tendant upon her sons illness excepting
those for two weeks.
