PEG COMES BACK.
The Play That Won . Hand Last
Week Back to Grand.

Oliver Morosco's production Of J.
Hartley Manners delightful comedy
Of youth, ''Peg O. My Heart" which
Laurette Taylor has been playing in
New York for over a year, will return
to the Grand on Wednesday afternoon
and night.
The enormous success Of this play
is undoubtedly due to its cleanliness
and absence from all discussion OF so
cial sins, and the everlasting argu-
ments of capital and labor.
Peg is a selfish little human be-
ing, with a chi1d's naive ways and a
child's innocent outlook on life. She
is brought up. after the death OF her
mother, by her Irish father, and Is
transplanted from a humble home. to
the palatia1 residence of her arfsto-
cratic relatives in England. Her sim
pie appearance shocks her British
cousins and aunt, and her unfamil-
iarity with ways OF the aristocratic
family, leads to numerous comical
situations. The play is brimful OF
clever wit and humor. interviewer
with an exquisite thread of love and
affection. The cast is one of sterling
quality, and is headed by the talented
Peggy O'Neil. Seats are now on sale
at the Grand.
Three generations of girls have
loved Little Women" the immortal
story written by Louisa M. A1cott in
Concord, N H., more than forty years
ago. Men of all ages have likewise
enjoyed the freshness and charm OF
the book, and since the characters
have been placed before their old
friends in a well-written. accurately
mounted play, their popularity has in
creased a hundred fold.
It was William A. Brady, one Of the
most prolific producers of today. who
presented the play to jaded New
Yorkers last season and the fact that
it ran the whole year at The Play
house more than justified Mr.. Brady'e

The third concentration point of the

but they have not taken the offensive
there. French aviators report that the
Germans are fortifying the city of
Luxembourg, in the grand duchy of the

Of Metz. The Germans also are active
at Gerolstein and Thionville.

Germans Are Checked.
. (By Franklin P. Merrick)

Paris, Oct. 2O.-The German sweep
toward the coast of the English Chan
mel, near Dunkirk and Calais, has
been effectually checked, it is claimed
by the French war office today. The
allies report assuming the offensive
all along the left wing in northern
France and in Belgium. 1t is now
bayonet against German artillery.
Highly-colored reports are coming
from the front. One unconfirmed ru-
NOR has it that Won Kluck's army is
threatened with disaster. Another
says the allies have entered or are
on the point of entering and retakinp
Ostend.
The tide in the north was turned by
the arrival of British reinforcements
hut not until the allies engaged in a
flanking drive eastward had passed
through crisis which threatened To
wipe cut their forces north and north

HENEY GREETED BY ENTHUSED
CROWDS AT SAN DIEGO

San Diego, Oct. 19.-If attendance
at meetings and enthusiasm is any
criterion, Francis j. Heney is fully
five times as popular in this country
as Joseph r. Knowland, his Repub-
lican opponent in the United States
Senate race, and San Diego county is
considered one of the Republican
strongholds.
The itineraries of Mr.. Knowland
and Mr.. Heney crossed and both spoke
in San Diego Saturday night. Mr..
Heney also held a meeting in the
afternoon, both the Heney meetings
being at the Majestic theatre. At 3
o'clock Mr.. Heney spoke to an audi
ence of 1,2OO. At 8 o'clock all the
400 seats in the theatre were occu-
pied, and by the time Mr.. Heney got
fairly started there We're many peo-
pie standing IN the alsles.
At the same time Mr.. Knowland
was speaking at Germania hall,
short distance away. There were not
more than 500 on hand to hear him.
Mr.. Knowland's friends did their
best to get out crowd for him. All
day long wagon carrying a big
sign announcing the meeting and
boy pounding drum to attract at
tention, travelled about the streets;
at night there were banners on auto
mobiles and band played in front
of the hotel where Mr.. Knowland was
stopping and then marched to the
hall.
There were no decorated autos for
Mr.. Heney and there was no band,
but Mr.. Heney got the crowds, and
while Mr.. Knowland go the chance
of talking to only 500 people Mr..
Heney at his two meetings spoke to
fully $500.

STATE SCORES AGAINST
WOMAN IN MURDER TRIAL

Mineola, N. Y, Oct 20.-The state
scored heavily against Mrs. Florence
Carman at the continuation of her
trial for the murder of Mrs. Louise
Bailey, in the supreme court here to-
day, when two states witnesses tes-
titled to seeing a woman in white
come downstairs and pass through the
outer reception room toward the kitch
en- jut before the fatal shot was fred.
The witnesses were Hazel Coombs, u
stenographer, and George Colder, Il
farmer, who were in DR.. Carman's
outer office on the night of the trag-
edy. Mrs. Bailey was in the office
with the doctor at the time. ~
Mrs. Carman will take the stand
in her own behalf, her counsel an
nounced today, and refute Celia Cole
man, the negro maid, who is chief
witness for the prosecution.
District Attorney Smith, in his ad-
dress to the jury, said he would prove
beyond a doubt that Mrs. Carman had
fired the fatal shot, and he asked the
jury for verdict of first degree mur-
DER.
Mrs. Jennie Duryea, mother of the
slain woman, was the first witness.
She is 63 and had to be assisted to
the stand. She broke down frequent
ly. The jury are all married men.

ever reliable this may be, it is fact
that the allies during the last three
days have bettered their position. Not
only has the threatened German at
tack upon Dunkirk been effectively
stayed, in the opinion of these ex-
perts, but the junction of the besieg
ing army of Antwerp and the forces
under General Won Boehm, support
ing Won Kluck, has been prevented.
To the eastward the army under
the German crown prince is being
steadily forced back upon Steney, the
door by which this army must retreat
when the hour for retirement from
France comes, and if a little more
pressure can be brought to bear the
German center must surely give way
weakened as it is by the heavy with
drawals to supply strength to the
German right.
American Vessel Captured.
Halifax, N. S., Oct. 20.-The British
auxiliary cruiser Caronia arrived II
port with the American oil tank
steamer Brindilla, formerly the Ger
man steamship Washington, as priz;
of war. 1t is claimed the Brindilla
carried a cargo of contraband of wal
and n prize crew has been placed or
board her.
The capture was made last Tues
cay by British cruiser off the port
of New York. The commander of thc
cruiser designated the Caronia t.
bring the ship to Halifax.
The Brindilla is now at anchor II
the harbor, flying the American flag
1t is reported that there was clasl
between the crew of the ship and th'
prize crew shortly after the capture
was made but this has not been con
| firmed.
No person has been allowed aboar'
either vessel since they arrived in por
and the case is to be adjudged by tn
Imperial Valley press., 1914-10-20

admiralty court. The Brindilla was
cleared for Alexandria, Egypt.
1t is stated that after the warship
handed the Brindilla over to the Ca
ronia, and several hours after the
cruiser got out of sight, the crew
of the oil tanker refused to work the
ship and some of the men in the
engine room went so far as to open
several of the sea cocks so as to
sink the ship and prevent her being
taken to port.
The prize crew on board signalled
to the Caronia informing her of the
conditions aboard the ship. More men
were sent on board to work the ship
Conditions, however, did not i'm
prove, and on Thursday the Caronia
ordered the oil tanker to slow up.
HawserS were then passed between
the two ships and the Caronia with
her tow started for Halifax. Owing
to the heavy sea and the dead weight
of 1he oil tanker, which is deep in
the water with big cargo, slow prog
ress was made. In addition the haw'
sers parted several times, causing fur
ther delay.
So far as can be ascertained none
of those on board have been placed
under arrest. 1t is not the ship, but
the cargo, the authorities state tina,
led 10 the seizure. The steamer has
been placed in charge of the marshal
of the admiralty.
