HANSEN ARRESTED
FOLLOWING SQUABLE
American Theatrical Mana
ger Under Arrest i'm
London

London, May III. salter Hansen, the
gagged in a legal squabble with Arthur
Bourehier, concerning the production of
Henri de Rothschid's play, "Croesus,"
at the Garrick, was arrested tonight He
is charged with having threatened Mr..
Bourchier with violence and the object
OF his arrest. it is said, is to force him
to find sureties to keep the peace.
Hansen's arrest was the sequel of
squabble between him and Mr.. Bourchier,
which led to extraordinary scenes in the
Garrick theatre ON Friday he was
granted an interim injunction restrain
ing the English manager from preventing
MN from exercising his rights as licensee.
Mr. Bourchier's staff was then in charge
OF the theatre but was elected by men
engaged for that purpose by the Ameri-
can manager. The doors were then
promptly locked against Bourchiers men.
The English actor-manager obtained an
annullment of the injunction today and
proceeded to recapture the theatre. Ac-
oording to Mr.. Hansens story the as
sauting force numbered a hundred and
broke open the bolted doors and drove
out the Hansen men. Mr.. Hansen's sec
retary and another man We're injured.
The dispute originated at rehearsal of
which Mr.. Hansen claims the American
and English rights of the play objected
to Mr.. Bourchier's methods of produce
ton Hansen was asked to lease the
theatre. In statement this evening he
said:
Il consider myself the sole manager
of the Garrick and shall do everything in
my power to prevent the production of
the play. If | had been at the theatre
when Bourchier's men broke in they
would have seen what western methods
could do to prevent even hundred men
from entering my property. | shall now
apply for injunction to prevent produce
tion of the play"
The case probably will come up Mon
day.

coin at Auction

New York, May 17.-What are known
as Mrs. Lincolns Bitter Letters" are to
be sold-at auction here next week
The collection consists of 70 letters
written by the widow of the martyred
president in the years just following his
assassination.
In some of them, Mrs. Lincoln was al
most hysterical in upbraiding Congress
for not providing for her. and in her de-
nunciation of General Grant.
One letter written in August, 1865, asks
friend to try to sell the black lace
gown which Mrs. Lincoln wore at the
second Inauguration "for two hours only
in order to raise money for the support
of herself and her two boys.
The gown was one presented to her by
friend of her husband and it cost s35OO.
In another letter dated December 30.
1865, Mrs. Lincoln writes acridly of the
fortunes the Grant family possessed as
compared with her own and declares that
General Grants Services to his country
were certainly not superior to my hus-
band s.

A YOUTHFUL HEROINE

Miss Eva Bacon, the 13-year-old daugh-
vance mine, near Birmingham, is looked
upon by the people of that district as a
true heroine, not only because she pre-
vented serious and perhaps fatal ac-
cident, but because she saved the life
of a 14-year-old negro boy.
Miss Bacon was standing at the mouth
of the slope of the Kewanee mine the
other day watching the trips as they
came up and went down, when suddenly
the hosting rope on the north track grew
slack. The downward trip
off the track" instantly flashed through
her mind, and springing to the signal
wires she rang for a stop.
After few moments delay the trip

slowly was pulled to the mouth of the
entry, and Henry Prather, a colored boy
employed by the company as a trapper,
was lifted from the cars and laid on the
ground. The cars had jumped the track
and the boy was thrown out and his leg
severed by the wheels. He lay on the
ground before Miss Bacon. bleeding pro-
fusely with no one to offer assistance.
The girl tore off her undersllrt, max
ing bandage of it and tightly bound it
above the wound, instantly stopping the
bleeding. DR.. Elwin Ballard of Birming-
ham was summoned by her Immediately
and the boy taken under his charge.
When the bystanders were told by the
doctor that the boy would have sue
cumbed to his injuries had not Miss Bacon
had presence of mind enough to stop the
bleeding, they lifted her up in their arms
and carried her away to her father.

Wanted to Find Holmes Residence


Since writing. last week. about the visit
CT William j. Burns and Victor Steffanus-
son to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, I have
heard story about the explorers ar
rival in London which shows he is not
second to the American detective in adj
miration of Doyle's great sleuth, "Sher-
lock Holmes" They say that when Stef-
fansson reached London, a few weeks
ago, one of his first inquiries was as to
tie exact whereabouts of Baker street.
A friend indicated how he might get to
this thoroughfare. and then asked why
he was interested in it.
why" said Steffansson. because that
was where Sherlock Holmes lived OF
course.' which was a bit surprising com-
ing from a profound scientist ami Har-

Mentioning Sir Arthur reminds me that
he was the defendant in a legal action,
this week, and utilized in court, with
great success, the methods of his great
detective.
The scene of this action was the Mark
Cross police court at cambridge Wells
Sir Arthur having been summoned by Il
farmer named Hale who alleged az
British ''pressmen" say that collie dog
belonging to the author had killed and
worried some of his sheep.
Sir Arthur personally cross examined
the plaintiff beginning as follows:
You are aware that within 200 or 300
yards of my house there is fold Of
sheep?'
Yes" replied the farmer.
Then went on the novelist. does it

go to farm another mile on TO worry
Sheep"
Il don't know"
* farm boy named Hornby said that he
got close to the dog while it was run
ming among the sheep, and was sure
from marks on its face that it was the
defendants dog.
How near did you get, my boy?' asked
Sir Arthur.
About 10 yards.
1T was running away as you ap-
proached?''
Yes"
THE point is" continued Doyle. that
1t is very difficult to see patch on a
dogs nose If 1t is running away from
you. You have seen my dog since and
s.now that 1t has white spot con it's
nose?"
Yes"
Have you seen the other collie dogs
in the village?r
mo"
Then it is impossible for you to say
for certain that mine was the dog worry
ing the sheep
Sir Arthur then told the bench thar
his dog was physically incapable of an
noying sheep; and was of the gentlest
type. 1t was, he said, a valuable and
beautiful collie. and the payfellow of his
children. Moreover veterinary surgeon
said that the dog was suffering from
faulty conformation of the jaw bones and
would not be capable of killing a sheep
Convinced that 1t was case of mistaken
identity, the magistrate dismissed the ac-
tion.

Had Narrow Escape
But Raffles' came dangerously near to
never being finished. Hornung had talk
en- the Villa of Lucullus for six months
and willingly would have stayed on an
other six, but his wife was seized with
an intense desire to leave the place. de-
claring that something would happen if
they did not do so. Hornung finally con-
sented, departing toward the middle OF
February, and at the end of April there
was landslide and half the villa fell
into the sea. The house literally was
cut in two all along the bedroom corri-
dor. and had anyone wakened in the
night on hearing the crash and thrown
their door open, they would have stepped
into space and fallen into the sea.
Both "Raffles'' and Hornung's Sting
aree' are published in France, and the
latest edition of the Amateur Cracks

made him laugh right heartily

HORNUNG RETURNS
TO "RAFFLES" VEIN
New Stories to be Called
"The Crime Doctor"
SOME.LITERARY GOSSIP
Conan Doyle Examines Witness in
Legal Action Against Him in
True Sherlock Holmes"
Style
SOME.LITERARY GOSSIP
by HAYDEN CHURCH.

London, May (Special)-There is at
least one distinguished English sojourner
in Italy who does not echo Browning S
famous cry "Oh, to be In England, now
that Aprils there." and that sojourner
gaging "Raffles."
Hornung is in Rome and entirely con-
tent to be there, judging by a letter
which a friend of mine recently had from
him, in which he lauds the Eternal city
as a place for a literary man to work
In. He says the air there acts in his
case as a brain tonic, and incidentally
adds that he is meeting and re-meeting
a lot of interesting Americans. He and
Mr.. and Mrs. Post Wheeler. the former
of whom is now first secretary of the
American legation at Rome and the lat
ter best known to her country folk as
Halle Erminie Rives, are old friends of
his. and Hornung says 1t has been de-
lightful to meet them again. while his
new, acquaintance include Irving Bach
eller and his wife.
Writing New Series
Hornung is now making rapid progress
on new series of short stories he calls
The Crime Doctor" which gives prom
se of being the most striking thing he
has done since THE Amateur Cracks
man. He has wintered in Italy for
some years now, usually staying until well
into May, and has done some of his
best work there. He declares, in fact,
that during his annual stay in or near
Rome, he gets through more writing than
in all the rest of the year.
His first abode in Italy was an ancient
villa near Naples which once housed no
less person than that prince of gour-
NETS, Luculus and thereby hangs a tale
whose finis might have been saddening
to the noyelst's big army of readers.
The villa of Lucullus hung on the edge
of cliff, 200 feet above the sea, and
from his study window Hornung looked
out into a green basin which once was
the private theatre of the renowned sy-
barite. Yet here, anonymously enough,
with the wonderful panorama of Vesu-
vius, Ischia, and Capri spread out before
him, Hornung one day sat down and be-
gan the writing of 'Raffles," whose name
is now almost as well known as that of
Sherlock Holmes. the creator of whom,
by the bye, is Hornungs brother-in-
law.
