BEBAN A HIT IN LONDON
English Like Playlet Based on
New York Police Methods.
nv Cable 10 The Tribune. !

London, July George Beban
has achieved a really remarkable sue
cess in England with his sketch,
which is we'll known in America,
The Sign Of the Rose" Oddly
enough although the little piece Is
full OF New York loca%ms, having its
color and almost here drawn directly
from New York police third degree
methods, it got over the footliShts in
England as well as in the land where
the sketch was born.
Bcban has already been engaged at
one OF the highest salaries ever paid
vaudeville actors to return to England
and star in the same piece in 1914
The Moss interests, one of the big
gest producing firms i'm England, VIII
pay Beban a sum comparable with the
money received by Eva Tanguay Ger
trude Hoffman, and other ultra priced
Americans.
Beban said to-day that he was nat
urally nervous before he opened at the
cided not TO alter the sketch in the
slightest particular from the Ameri-
can production. II said TO myself, 1
will try these people with an American

they must take it as an American

And as a matter of fact the piece
is no more changed than If Beban had

BRlTONS REBEL AT TIPS
Say Walters Resort to Hold Up
Tactics at Banquets.
LFrom Lie Trlbune Corresnondent. ]

FROM Inc tribune correspondent
London, June 2s,-England is notorious
for the extent of the tipping practice
For a long time. every traveller, even
those used 10 Continental extortion, has
commented on the number of persons IN
this country not only anxious but willing
TO receive a fee for even the smallest
service, But even the Englshman, Injured
tenn has begun to rebel against the prac-
teal demands which the walters make IT
banqu,ts, the custom of holding up the
diners. This custom. which is known as
tapping is done in a fashion now, alas,
too familiar.
I'm going now, sir. | hope everything
was all right. sir" whispers the waiter
just as the coffee has been served and
speeches are about to begin. The guest
instinctively puts his hand in his pocket
and passes a coin. II not the query is
repeated little more audibly.
So disagreeable is this particular style
of highway robbery that many COM
plants are being directed against It, Last
week the following advertisement ap-
peared In The Times.
Tipping at Public Banquets- The ad-
vertiser, who attends a large number OF
public banquets. having noticed a grow
ing tendency on the part OF walters TO
ask for-and in some cases demand-'tips'
during the speeches, appeals TO those in
like cases TO resist this increasing prac-
tice."
One of the managers OF a well known
West End hotel says soliciting tips In
his hotel has long been forbidden but
that he has issued new instructions TO
head walters to report any walters tap
ping" the guests
1T is, however" says this manager.
largely the fault OF the guest, who after
a good dinner, is not disposed TO ignore
any hint of the kind. Walters are spe-
cially engaged for these banquets and
are paid from five to ten shillings. They
also earn money at their engagement
during the day, when they have the right
to solicit tips"

the total assurances on the coll<uons

and, second. the collection including
the pictures, china and bronzes already

The principal risk 10 be covered is
against fire. Although the leading
companies and the underwriters are
likely TO accept large lines. the placing
of such heavy assurances will tax the
resources Of all the insurance mar
kets. 1t is understood that Mr.. Nor
gan rarely If ever insured. Even his
treasures when sent from the Victoria

not insured against marine perils, but
