Francis Ferdinand and Duch- ess of Hohenberg Slaia by Student When on Visit to
 the Capital of Bosnia
ASSERT CRIME RESULT
 OF PRO-SERVIAN PLOT
Duchess Struck in Right Side and Archdt kes Jugulsr Vein Severed by the Marksman Who Stood on
 Sidewalk as Motor Hurried By.

Nienna.-Archduke Francis Ferdl- hand, heir to the Austrian throne, and his morganatic wife, the Duchess of Hohenberg, were assassinated when paying their first official visit to Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia
 The killing, it is said, was the re- suit of a concerted plan in which at least three men had a part
 The plot. if it was a plot, is be- ieyed to have been the result of the anger of pro-Servian subjects of Austria in 1908, against the policy of the Archduke in the Balkans. Servian flags were flying in Sarajevo before the arrival of the royal party, and when the Bosnian diet met after the murders all except Seryian depu. ties were in mourning.
 Two attempts were made against the royal couple. The first was the throwing of a bomb. This failed of it's purpose but slightly injured two aids of the Archduke. A young student then fired two shots, one striking the Duchess and the other the Arehduke. A third man had an- other bomb ready. but seeing the assassins bullets were successful threw his bomb away. The first two men were arrested.
 When news of the assassinations reached the Emperor he exclaimed: Horrible! Horrible! am sorry they spared mel" There is much concern over the possible effect of the tragedy on the health of the Elm peror, who has been i'll since early spring.
 The murders add another to the list of tragedies which have marked the life Of Francis Joseph The Elm peror's own wife, the Empress Eliza beth, was killed by an assassin in lS9S. His brother. Maximilian. for a short time Emperor of Mexico. was executed in that country. His only son died under mysterious and sesn- dalous circumstances at Meyerling in 1889, and Is generally believed to have been murdered
 He helF 10 the throne IS now Arch duke Charles Francis Joseph. eldest son of Arehduke Francis Ferdinand's 8 younger brother. late Archduke Otto.
 The first attempt against the life of the Arehduke was made as he was about to leave the Girls High School. where he made a brief inspection.
 A bomb was hurled from the crowd and but for the promptness of the Archduke would have exploded in his automobile. He stretched out his arm and warded of the missile. which fell beneath the car immediately follow ing. The instant it touched the road way il exploded, wounding two mem bers of the royal suite and severely injuring many of the spectators.

Margaret AngIin presented an artistic
revival Of Oscar wilde's play, Lady

Theater on Christmas night and two per-
formances yesterday. During the coming
week the Wilde play will be given at all
performances with the exception Of Wed

named play was made familiar to local
playgoers when Miss Anglln presented II
at the Columbia Theater three years ago.
In Lady Windermere's Fan" Miss
Anglin has made her engagement at the
Columbia one Of the most interesting
dramatic events Of the present season.
The play itself sparkles with epigramatic
speeches which abound in every scene. It
Is more than q comedy, It Is drama as
well, drama that pictures q remarkable
story Of domestic jealousy, admirably
constructed and garnished with the bril-
lance Of Wilde's wonderful pen. wIlde's
genius at words. and Miss Anglin's
genius for acting, and staging his play,
and vivifying the production make the
combination at the Columbia an attrac-
ton which any discriminating pIaygoer
will not miss. In Miss Anglin is centered
one Of the chief hopes OF the women OF
the American stage. She has demon
strated again and again her remarkable
talents in a wide range OF characters
and In the sphere Of emotional acting she
stands without a peeress The engage
ment al the Columbia Will terminate on

PoIi..-.RIE jim CARLY,

The Poll Players are to be seen this
week in one Of the present seasons New
York productions, Big Jim Garrity." by
Owen Davis. This Poll performance will
be the first time that this drama has ever
been given at stock company prices
The play tells the story Of a young man
who Is wrongly accused Of having muir
dered his friend. The accused Is con-
victed on circumstantial evidence and IS
sent to the penitentisry to serve a term
of twenty years. At the end of the first
year the hero makes his escape, thanks to
his prodigious strength. After getting
out OF prison he assumes a fictitious
name and in time wins a place of honor
and distinction in the community. He
marries and is ideally happy. when all
that he has accomplished is swept away
through the treachery of two criminals,
one Of whom poses as a physician and
causes the hero's wife to become a drug
fiend. In the end the heros past is made
public and he is forced to fee in order
TO escape being sent back to prison. While
wandering through the mountains he
comes upon a tiny hut and here he dis
covers the hiding place OF the men who
have brought all this sorrow upon him.
Here, too, he learns the name OF the real
murderer of his friend, the man for
whose crime he (the hero) has been sem
fenced. The meeting Of these two enc
mics and the outcome Of their struggle
is said to be one of the most thrilling
episodes ever presented on the stage.
The play will AFFORD excellent acting
for Mr.. Mackay in the John
Mason role and for all the other Poll
principals.

but for the present tour Of his comedy
Mr.. Craven has returned to his original
role, and we may expect this week a de-
lightful period at the Belasco in the pres
entation Of his farce, the central theme
Of which Is the disastrous results accru-
ing from too much meddling on the part
of outsiders when an engaged man elects
to build home for his bride-elect.
There is nothing more interesting than
the history of a play from its first pro-
duction to the time it has either worn
out its welcome In the big theaters, or
for some other reason clings for life to
stock production. 1t is the some other
reason" that brings us this week our first
opportunity Of seeing q big production of
the current dramatic year at the hands
Of stock organization. refer to big
Jim Garrity," which is the New Year
week offering OF the Poll Company.
big Jim Garrity" is a melodrama in
four acts by Owen Davis and was given
Its first New York production at the New
York Theater in October of the present
year, by A. H. Woods, at which time the
services Of some of the most noted stage
folk we have were employed in Its pres
entation. John Mason, who found
melodrama to his liking when Mr.. Woods
put him In THE yellow Ticket" was
anxious to extend his experience In this
sort Of thing, to crafty which wish Mr.
Woods accepted a play entitled Cor
nered'' from Owen Davis after a single
reading. This title was changed to
"Drugged," and the piece was given a
try-out at Asbury Park in September
after which the melodrama was shown
in Philadelphia, where the encouragement
was sufficient to persuade Mr.. Woods to
take 1t to Mr.. Mason's home town, Bos-
ton, where It was offered at the Hollis
Street Theatsr. At the closing of this
short tour 1t was decided to again re-
christen the play so that when It was
first offered in the New York Theater It
was under the title Of big Jim Garrity."
Owen Davis Is a past master In melo-
dramatic craft. It used to be said that
he wrote blood and thunder piece every
week OF his life. Many of his plays have
long since been forgotten. Some others
are remembered only because of the
losses they caused William A. Brady.
But when Mr.. Davis and Al Woods got
the writer Of melodrama had
met his eoDal in the production of this
sort OF thing. and the two made several
separate fortunes out Of some OF the
Davis pieces. At that time Mr.. Woods

ris and Woods. and the foundation Of his
career was laid in Convict see.' Rachel
