POLL PLAYERS TO
GIVE A NEWSPAPER
PLAY NEXT WEEK
Will Present THE Fourth
Estate" a Recent Sea-
sons Success.

The Poll Players have achieved a
theatrical coup d'etat in securing the
rights to present THE Fourth Estate" I"
which has been pronounced by many
editors the best newspaper play ever
written, for II has retained all the at
mosphere of journalism, without becom-
ing technical. 1t is as easily understood
by the layman as by the professional
newspaper writer, but It gives vivid
and an intensely interesting insight into
the making of a great newspaper, not
only from the editorial side, but from
the mechanical end as well, for In the
big scene of the play a modern news
paper composing room is shown on the
stage.
Here the gigantic linotype typesetting
machines are seen in operation, and q
whole corps Of copy cutters, proof
readers, makeup men, and proof takers
10 to be seen in the hum and hurry
of the hour of going to press. 1t Is a
unique and inspiring sight, one which
duickens the blood and stirs the imag-
nation.
The story Of "The Fourth Estate
10 dramatic in the extreme. It relates
the life story Of young Wheeler and
a fearless newspaper reporter, who is
elevated to the position of managing
editor. and who carries on a glorious
hight against corruption and civic graft,
only to find that the man whom he
must fight most bitterly is the father
Of the girl he loves.

duced It in Boston, where It's success
was pronounced.
The story OF The Wrong Mr.

identities OF two important character,
in the play, and before the complica-

Tenleytown, took his own life. Coroner
hewitt this morning gave q certificate
OF death by suicide.
The boy had been missing since last

The place where the boy ended his life
Is but a short distance from the Hurdle
home. On several occasions Guy had
told his mother and father that he was
going to kill himself, but they did not
take the threats seriously until after
Accompanied by a neighbor, the father
started on a search through the woods
Hanging from tree In densely over
grown gully about 100 yards from the
body. It was suspended with a small
cord about four feet below the hmt

an abnormal temperament. He was &
somnambulist, and, according to some
of his companions, spent most of hi
earnings as a caddy on motion picture
shows.

truck gardener, killed himself in a
similar manner about twelve years ago
On Soapstone Hill, less than a mil,
away, Elsie Gregg. a seventeen year-olc

The excitement and heat ineident to at
tendance at yesterdays baseball games
between the Nationals and Boston, at
National Park, are held responsible for
a recurrence of the illness that has af-
fectsd Albert l. Fuss, one OF Anacos-
tia's best known residents, for long
time. Mr.. Fuss, who has been crippled
with paralytio strokes on several occa-
sions, went to the game yesterday, with
the aid Of an invalid's stick. He is
sixty nine years old.
He was overcome during the second
game, the heat and his interest In the
plays proving too much for his weaken
ed condition. The police. who removed
him to Freedman's Hospital, thought
he was suffering from heart disease.
His wife and family. living at 2lls FIJI
teenth street, were notified. and they
were soon at the hospital. The physi-
clans administered restoratives and
thought there was q recurrence Of the
paralysis. The Ill man was much better
this morning, and 1t was thought at the
hospital that he will be sent home to-
day.

NIGHT FORCE
IS SUSPENDED
Work Slack at Eastern Coal
Co. in South Amboy.
spscioI to the EVENING WE'VE.

South Amboy, June 22,-There is
apparently a great unrest within the
labor circle. How far this affects
business property Is a question yet
not fully determined.
The recent stoppage for a short
time in mining coal has apparently
worked harm to some extent in this
city. The storage plants are appar-
emily empty, while the slackness of
the delivery Of coal at this point has
forced the Eastern Coal Dock Com
pany to suspend the entire night
force. How long this condition will
exist none are able to predict, but
we hope the situation will change
for the better ere long.
