A RTHUR WING PINERo is

L n deserving of the besrtiest
cougratnlatIons on two points: One
is that he has the genius and expe-
rlcnce to dash off such brilliant,
fresh farce as Preserving Mr..
Papmure, the other, that he did
not see what a botch lot of gen
orally competent but specifically
misguided actors could make of it.
Sir Arthur says he wrote the Pan
mure play as relaxation from his
more serious work; but he Is very
much too modest; he wrote it for
our relaxation. And oh, what fnnl
\ description Of the farce can con
vey but little of its humor for
that hes in its pointed lines and
in its sure technique. Mr.. Papmure
is an English country gentleman who
suffers from an aggressivcly Purl-
tanical wife. She has cowed his
moral self into q stale Of such
ra.puritv that he copinses The
slightest expression Of manly in
c)laations with the deadhest sin,
and. indeed, goes TO the excess of
conducting religious services OF his
own before helpless household
of relatives and servants. Finding
himself at a loss for subject. he
is helped out by his little daugh-
ter's govcrness, and, in his graft
tude. he kisses the Young woman.
And there s the trouble For, agi-
tated by the act, yet anxious not
TO distress the man S wife, the gov
erness does not know what she
should do. in desire for mature
advice, she reveals the fact that
she has been kissed Then the
question arises as to the wicked,
wicked man, The Paumure house
mold includes two husbands,
5ance and two totally uuattach
bachelors The latter remain part
of the tapestry of the piece until
the third act. Then the pretty
poverness falls upon them-Dot so
much to protect Psnmure as to save
his wife from heartache, And here
practically new play starts. The

GoTHAM's BOMB MYSTERY.
No Arrests Made in Attempted As
 sassinaticn of Judge.

New York, March 1S.-No arrests were made today in connection with she effonss of practically tne entire police department to clear up the mysterious attempt to assassinate Judge Otto A. Rosalsky of the court of general sessions, with bomb last Saturday night. If any promising clues developed they were not di- vulged and the case rested apparent ly only upon theories. These were advanced in abundance, embracing nearly every important case which the judge has tried, including the Italian Mafiasts, counterfeiters, the 'Yiddish Camorrists, as an East Side hand of horse poisoners is known. and tIhe Brandt case. The lat ter was not mentioned seriously in any quarter, however.
 Deputy Police Commissioner Dougherty clung to the theory that a maniac is at large in the city aim ing to destroy "enefies of society" as they appeared to his blessed brain and that he was responsible for the death of Helen Taylor, who was kill ed by bomb last month, and for the sending of the machine to Judge Rosalsky. On this theory, another attempt may be expected at any time.
 Judge Rosalsky was on tIhe bench in general sessions today, trying the alleged leaders of the horse poison CTS He recently sentenced one of the gang to the penitentiary and to- day, as precautionary measure, ev- cry person entering the court room was searched for concealed weapons, This precaution, however, was with out result.

 heane K. Keene's badly wrecked machine stands in the hanger, a mute testimonial of his disastrous at tempt on Saturday evening.

 Keane has been greatly disappoint. ed In his inability to fly here, as he Is daring aviator and likes the game He is uncertain what he will do, but may conclude to remain in Hot Springs until he gets his machine properly repaired for flights.

 Without a doubt the program of to. day will be the greatest yet offered at this meet, which has been one of the best meets ever held in the south.
 Jimmie Ward has made an enviable reputation during this meet. He has made number of flights every day and has not met with the slightest mishap or accident to his machine, and Nelson has met with but one slight accident, not sufficient to stop him from flying. Both are in good shape for the flights today.

 "Tve got a good wife" said the outlaw. If I'd done as she told me. 1 wouldn't be here now" The men who found Mrs. Allen at her home say she was distracted.
 Early today there was report that Felts and his men were having a pitched battle with Edwards, who had been surrounded. Felts denied that on his return The only catch was a few gallons of moonshne whiskey.
 The pursuers hope for some action tomorrow, The posses will get out again, while the North Carolina of ficers are working over to meet them. They hope to drive the gang to cover between them.
 The state authorities continued to pile rifles and ammunition into the troubled country today Two ship ments of rifles were sent from Roa- noke. They will be unloaded at Ga lax and brought here in wagons. The posses are well armed with state militia equipment.
 The discovery of illicit whiskey stills in the homes of the Aliens and the Edwards boys, the detectives say, tends to connect them with the mur- der of a Dunkard preached named Easter, for whom George Peters was hanged
 While the outlaws are being pur- sued, civil officers are serving at tachments on all their property. A Virginia statute permits this The heirs of Judge Massie today filed suit against the Allen property. Other suits will follow and the property will be taken to satisfy judgments.

eRUEsoME COURT EXHIBIT.
Vital Organs of Elise Crawford Pro.
 duced at Trial of Sister.

New Orleans, March 1S.-The de- fense of Annie Crawford was thrown into confusion late this afternoon when the state produced in court the brain, heart, lungs and other organs of Elise Crawford, with expert testi. mony that their condition showed that the sister of the defendant in the sensational murder trial did not die of cerebral hemorrhage, as the de- fense contends, but of morphine poi soning. The organs were obtained when the body was secretly exhumed Sunday by state experts and an au- topsy was performed in the grave yard by Dr. Charles Duval, an expert pathologist.
 When the gruesome exhibits were held up to view by the experts whose testimony unfavorably affected her case, Annie Crawford for the first time since she has been in court, broke down and wept.
 The attorneys for the defense. startled by the sudden disclosure of the secret autopsy asked that their experts be allowed to examine the or gans This was finally agreed to and court was adjourned until Wednes- day morning.

Tells Story of Escape.

Lincoln, Neb., March 1S.-Charles Morley, the convict who surrendered and was taken back to the peniten. tiary tonight, told the story of his escape, pursuit and today's battle. He said the volley from the posse in the fight near Gretna first killed young Blunt, the conyicts' hostage who was driving them across the country Convict Taylor was the next man hit and he died within a minute.
 "Dowd.' said Morley, "shot himself in the head when he saw escape was impossible He attempted to do this earlier in the game but I knocked his hand away and told him We might as we'll fight it out. fired six more shots with my revolver and then jumped out of the wagon, raised my hands above my head and ran toward the posse,
 We spent last night said Mor- ley in recounting the experiences leading up to today's battle, "on the way from Prairie Home. We finally stopped with a farmer, Elmer Hall. He left them tied up and also cut their telephone wires.
 We kept on until we reached Blunts. There we ate and talked with the Blunt boys, Roy and Lloyd, and made them give us a team. We knew the posse was then only about an hour behind us so we took Roy Blunt as a hostage and left note to the posse, telling them of this.
 About Ii miles farther on the leading buggy of the sheriffs posse came within shooting distance of us. We fired first but they promptly re- turned the fire and Blunt and Taylor were killed early in the fight"
 Morley declared the escape from the penitentiary had not been long planned He did not know of it Thursday morning. The revolvers were given him and Dowd by Taylor, who also had the explosive.
 We had no trouble in leaving the shops at the penitentiaryh' said Morley We simply left in a squad and walked across the prison yard. We entered the chapel and Taylor went over to the deputy wardens of flee. There he shot the deputy war den
 When we escaped We were arm ed with four revolyers. all .3S-caliber. After leaving the penitentiary we had terrible time in tine blizzard. We were almost exhausted when we reached shelter. All of us had our feet and hands frozen.
 "When We reached Lincoln we struck for some railroad sheds, but after staying there a while we went on to Hayelock. We spent the night in barn and also stayed the next day. When we left Havelock we struck east. We stopped at the Hall residence near Prairie Home, and stayed there part of last night.
