An I1terUiewless Interview With Maude Adams
ONE ACTRESS WHO Is SHY

who has counted the cash for Miss
Adams for five seasons, merely shakes
his head and replies:
"Mr. Frohman has instructed me to
say Miss Adams can not be interviewed
That is all can say. Upon advice Of
counsel I decline TO answer. Thanh
you. Good morning"
She Once Wrote About Her Work.
But once upon a time Maude Adams
wrote an article for a magazine and in
this she expressed the revolutionary
and ncendiary opinion that the public
really didn't care a continental about
what an actress wore to breakfast or
how she fixed her hair, or whether her
summer farm was on Long Island or in
Breathtt county, Kentucky. Her opin
ion was that the public likes actresses
because they can act. She was willing
to write something about her plays and
which roles she liked best. but when it
came to the sad, sweet story OF her in
ner life she begged to ring down the
curtain. And it may be that she is
right about it.
Perhaps there has never been a play
er Of the prominence of Maude Adams
about whom there has been so little
said in the newspapers and magazines
beyond matters relating solely to her
work on the stage. Perhaps no other
actress Of her popularity has 50 seldom
been seen off stage by her admirers.
Did you ever hear Of Maude Adams
taking tea with friends In Atlanta or
being seen at the ball game, or taking
ride in somebody's motor car?
Neither have we. She arrives in her
private car, goes to her hotel apart
ments, appears at her performance and
goes back TO the hotel
Fears Being Lionized.
If she goes driving for fresh air,
there's no brass band leading the pro-
| cesson and nobody knows it but herself
and her companions. And it doesn't
seem to be haughtiness. Gould you
imagine Maude Adams being naughty =?
The few who have really met her and
chatted with her say 1t is rather shy
ness. She appears to be conscious of
| being lioniZed and she doesn't like it.
Manager Williams says the revival of
| Peter PAN this season was made in
response to the public desire; that

to play Peter Pan again? My little

Mr. Barrie hadn't written anything else
this year, except a half-dozen one act
| plays, Mr.. F'rohman decided to put on

| popular as in its first sea son. 1t has
been five years since Peter" was seen
IN Atlanta, and the audience last night

one of the most prominent cotton

died at his residence here OF intestinal
trouble. in his 74th year
With the death OF Mr. Borden dis
appears a commanding figure in the
vast textile industry of New England.
A rich mans SON. his dominance IN
the world OF cotton was quite as much
the result of his own strong personal
ity as of the vast interests he inherit
ed and controlled.
Mr. Borden was born in Fall River
in 1912. and was the fourth son of Col.
Richard Borden, who had been asso-
ciated with the industrial development
OF the city for over half century.
The Full River Iron Company was
started by Col. Borden late in the thir-
ties as a hoop iron and nail concern
with a capital OF $4,000 Early in the
history of the company, the incorpora'

Matthew Borden was educated at
Phillips College, Andover and Yale,
and graduated from the New Haven
university with the wooden spoon"
In 1864.
A day or two after his arrival at
home from college his father and he
had a business talk" in the course Of
which Colonel Borden asked for an
itemized account Of every cent owing
in New Haven. A list totalling $4,000
was, after a little while, put Ia his
hands.

In three years he had become a

STORMS TO PREDICT SELVES
Wireless Stations TO BE Used TO Make
Tempests Send Their Own
Warning Ahead.

Storm centers move usually In an
esterly or northeasterly direction.
Hence the prediction OF storms on the
Atlantic coast is possible. since most
OF them come from the Mississippi
valley. Some come up the coast from
the Caribbean sea. but even In this
case we have no warning
Hut western Europe is less fortu-
nate. Its tempests come from the At
lantic. and with little warning. Euro
pean weather men have made as much
as possible n study OF the paths OF
American storms across the Atlantic
and are sometimes accurate In pre-
dieting the time OF their arrival; tho
same has been done with storms COM
ing up from the South Atlantic.
But Il often happens that storms vary
either their route or the rate OF move
ment, SO that predicting cyclones on
the coast OF western Europe Is more
or less guesswork
AS a possible help In this respect
Director Andre OF the Lyons observa-
tory is making a deep study Of the
galyanometer records OF various wire
less telegraph stations.
He has found that the antennae are
sensitive 10 any stray electric currents
as we'll as TO messages, and he hopes
TO discover n way 10 make the storms
telegraph their own warning ahead oe
their arrival.
Every storm is accompanied by cleo
trical disturbances. and already NJ.
Andre has accumulated a mass OF evil

way gives warning. Just how to read
this evidence Is the problem TO which
