to go to Wyoming, telling Heinie that
her friend, Miss Alice, has made
temporary loan. other complications
arise, however and Heinie discovers
that his wife is a thief. He raves
against her, but when he learns her
condition he forgives all and tells her
she did right. In this scene Miss Ill
ington is at her best, and brings into
play those remarkable talents as an
emotional actress that have made her
famous.
Finally, in the last act, when Off
GERS raid the place, Alice prevails on
her rich aunt to withdraw the charges.
The rich aunt, Mrs. Burke-Smith,
typical representative of the idle rich,
is actually touched by the heart-rend-
ing scene that follows the raid, when
the truth is wrung from Maggie and
she lays her heart and soul bare. In
stead of being sent to JAIL her condi-
ton is accepted as extenuating cir
cumstances and she is allowed to go
free. Alice gives the Schultzes tick
cts to Wyoming and they at last have
visions of better life. "Heinie, there
may be roses in Wyoming" breathes
the happy Maggie, as the curtain goes
down.
Kindling is a play that takes hold
of and makes one think. 1t is a pow

the three acts of the performance at

The scenes of Kindling are laid in
a reeking tenement in New York's
East Side, where the unwholesome at
mosphere of the place has made it a
hotbed of disease. In this tenement,
Heinie and Maggie Schultz live. Heinie
is an intelligent, honest, Woodworking
stevedore, who has been attending
meetings at Cooper Union. From
what he has heard he breaches to
Maggie that to bring a child into the
world in such surroundings is a great
err sin than it is to kill them. When
Maggie realizes that she is to become
mother, she fears to make known
the fact to Heinie, but finally tells
her secret to the big-hearted neigh

OIL LAND CASE
McReyr1olds to Make Furth.
er Attempt to Validate the
Claim to Valuable Land.

Washington, June 1s.-1n an Of
fort to validate the federal govern.
ment's claim to thousands Of acres Of
oil lands in Wyoming and California.
valued at hundreds Of millions of dol
lars and even as high as billion dol
lars. according to some estimates, At
torney General McReynolds today def.
.initely decided to appeal from the de.
cision Of United States District Judge
Riner Of Cheyenne. Wyo., upholdinR
the Midwest Oil company's title to A.
case and around 1t revolves many
tracts Of valuable oil lands, claimed
by other interests.
To Prosecute Similar Case.
A similar case pending at Los An.
geles will be prosecuted and other
suits soon will be filed to contest the
title Of innumerable claimants and
prevent their withdrawal Of the oil
until tile. ownership is settled. It "a
believed the issues finally will reach
the United States supreme court.
These developments are regarded
here as indicating that the new ad-
ministratton endorses the conservative
policy Of former President Taft with
respect to these lands. President Taft
withdrew. the tracts in 1909 on the
ground that great quantities Of oil
were being wasted and squandered by
private interests when the landn
should be reserved until the govern
ment was prepared to dispose Of the
land In the best interests Of economy.
He also held that adequate tracts
should be withheld from entry to af-
ford fuel oil for the United States
macy. a ~
The presidents power to make the
withdrawal was questioned on June
36, 1910. congress afiirmatively gave
his authority. and the lands were re-.
withdrawn. In the meantime many
entries were made and Judge Riner
was invalid.
