BROADWAY HIT FOR
UNKNOWN AUTHOR

New York, Aug 2.-Dramatic success
like lightning. strikes most unexpected
ly. For instance. last week a new play
sneaked into Manhattan almost on gum
shoes. II was called ''On Trial" and had
its presentation at the Gambler Theater, a
new edifice devoted to the cure Of brain
flag. and II scored one Of the most pro-
nounced hits" Of the season, young
though II be.
ON Trial" il something new. II Is a
retaliation upon the motion picture field
for so heavily encroaching upon the
dramatic. The author is a new man, and
this is his first play. This is also the
first time a dramatic play has been seen
at the Chandler Theater. Blase Broad
way was about to pass il by until the
alarm was spread down the incandescent
lane that there was something doing"
at the new theater on Forty-second
street. and indeed there was.
The chief originality lies in the fact
that the new author, a young Elmer
L Reizenstein,. some time law clerk. has
borrowed from the :Iotion-plcture max
ers the system Of reverting to a picture
Of the scene rather than a description.
Thus as the first witness takes the
stand to testify, there Is a orif spell 70
daTkened stage and the next view OBJ
tained by the audience Is the actual COM
mission of the crime as the witness is
about TO describe II.
The first act shows the library Of one
Of the witnesses, then comes the court
room again. and the sitting-room Of an
other home with one more view Of the
crime shown The first and second acts
complete the first DAY Of the trial
The second day Is told in the third and
fourth acts. Here again there is the al
formation between the courtroom and the
events which precede the trial, one scene
being placed as far as thirteen years in
the past With the scene in the jury-room
the epiloEue opens. The curtain falls on a
final view of the courtroom.
The novel arrangement Of the story
made a most absorbing Helodrama. In
stead Of recitinG what had happened TO
cause the trial going on before the eyes
OF the audience, every scene was enacted.

GOODYEAR TIRE PRICES
SAME NOW AS In JUNE
F. A. Sieberling. President of Com
pany, Tells Why War Prices"
Are Not Prevailing.

When interviewed concerning the re-
cent announcement, mo war prices on
Goodyear tires" made by the GOODYEAR
Tire and Rubber Company Of Akron. F
A. Sieberling. president Of the company,
said:
others did theirs, when the rubber panic
came Almost in a day, crude rubber rose
in New York from IS cents per pound to
much over 81. And, as most of the
worlds rubber comes via London or Ant
werp, we saw no way out for a time.
The New York supply was too small
TO consider. European exchange was en-
tirely suspended. Merchant ships had
ceased running.
But we have an almost worldwide
organization, and we brought it at once
into play. We are the worlds largest
buyers of high-grade rubber, so we have
cur own experts in London, Colombo,
Singapore and Para
We cabled our London people to buy up
the pick Of the rubber there. By acting
quickly and paying cash they obtained
100000 pounds of the finest rubber there
They bought before the advance-before
the other buyers saw a way to get Lon
don exchange or to bring the rubber
here.
That big supply of rubber is now
nearly all on the way to the Goodyear
factory in Akron. 1t constitutes the best
of the London supply. On the inferior
grades remaining, prices have since been
rapidly advanced.
We have since taken other steps to
insure US a continuous supply, all Of
the highest grade rubber. The result is
that Goodyear tire prices are now the
same as in June. We are using the same
Grade of rubber and the same amount
of it as we always have used in these
tires
We are running our factory with three
shifts Of men, twenty-four hours a day.
oS long as we remain in this fortunate
position on rubber, we shall supply tire
users at before-war prices TO the limit
of our capacity"

AUTO DEALER PREDICTS
new ERA FOR MEXICO
Peace in Sight and Demand Increasing
for Manufactured Products, Says
D. B. Richardson.
OTHERS EVEN MORE OPTIMISTIC

Some interesting views of the Mexican
situation-pretty thoroughly eclipsed
these days by the European WARFARE
given by D. B. Richardson, Mexican rep
resentative of the Studebaker Corpora
ton. For several months, there being
little or no trade with Mexico, Mr..
Richardson has been awaiting the de-
velopments of events in Detroit. He is
now to return to Mexico City with the
hope that order there will shortly be
restored.
There are many conditions" said Mr..
Richardson, which must be settled be-
fore il can be said that peace in Mexico
is an established fact. For instance
some satisfactory agreement between
Villa and Carranza will have TO be
reached, as the presence Of Villa in the
north with his large number of troops,
said to be $1,000, constitutes a menace.
''Zapata with his horde, who has con-
trolled the State of Morelos and almost
all of the State of Guerrero, has yet to
be dealt with.
There are also federal soldiers, said
to be between 5000 and 1000. who have
retired from Mexico City to Puebla, where
TO await developments
Also the constitutionalists have con-
fiscated a great many of the larger es-
tates and in other ways made war on
wealth. There will be the question of
compensation for these lands.
The large debts created by the Huerta
government may also be a serious prob
lem: Some of these have already been
repudiated by the constituencies.
Some Of them are in the form of bonds
held by the French and English. How
will the European conflagration affect
these?
Then. there is an immense number
of damage claims for destruction Of prop
erty, owned by foreigners. This must
be settled.
1T is my opinion that the real test of
the American policy toward Mexico is
now to come. l know very well the
powers of recuperation in Mexico and
the enormous potential wealth of the
country. Had it not been for this vast
natural wealth, the country would long
since have been bankrupt through con-
tinued revolution and the accompanying
destruction of property
c. W. Hartman, Studebaker district
sales manager for Texas. takes a more
optimistic view of the Mexican situation
than does Mr.. Richardson. Mr.. Hart
man writes:
Nearly every one in Mexico that
could own an automobile during the war
lost II and would not purchase another
until the war was over The war is
practically over now. In fact, it is more
over right now than it has been in many
years. The constitutionalists absolutely
control Mexico. The people believe in
them. The natives and Indians are with
them and it would not surprise me in
the least to see Mexico in a peaceful
condition for some years, at least

London, Aug. 2s-Can London be at
tackled successfully by a German dirig-
IDLE? This moot question may be decided
any day now. On paper several OF the
biggest German airliners could come over
from the German border, each throw a
ton Of explosive into this city, and still
have power enough to regain their own
country without alighting.
The present crisis is too serious for the
rather silly ''airship scares" of other
years. In the presence OF real war the
average Englishman does not worry over
this certainly unprecedented danger. But
at the same time England is being pro-
tected as well as possible by a system of
searchlight and aeroplane scouts, the lat
ter perfect protection in the day time
The distance by air from Cologne TO
London is 800 miles and from Hamburg
$50 miles. Several Zeppelins. therefore,
could travel both ways at full speed with
good luck. The La recently remained in
the air thirty-five hours, and is destined
to travel I.So0 miles at the reduced speed
OF thirty-six miles an hour. She can also
drift as a free balloon. 1t is probable she
could carry three or four tons Of expio-
sives.
Whit could Zeppelin do, IL she were
to come? What chance would she have of
getting here, or returning home again?
These are questions which 1t is easy 70
ask, but hard to answer.
In the first place, she would presumably
come by night, in the hope Of escaping
observation. But although she might ar
rive unperceived, in spite of searchlights,
and might conceivably do a certain
amount Of damage if she dropped her
bombs with accuracy-and this would be
difficult in the dark-having dropped them
she would simply have to go away again.
AT anything less than 1900 feet she would
be Vulnerable TO rife fire, and in daylight
the aeroplanes would be out for her.

Gov. Samuel 3. RaIston, OF Indiana, has
always been an ardent lover OF horses. He
loves them yet, but has learned TO love
the motor car also. as evidenced by his
recent purchase OF a Cadillac. Now q
part Of the executive stables has been

uses the Cadillac more often than he
drives out behind his fine horses.
Whether Gov. Ralston will learn to
drive the car is a question. For the pres

For a long time the governor has been
besought by automobile men to add a car
to the executive equipages, and for a

HOW ANlMALa SENSE" Water.
Marvellous instinct That Enables Thorn
70 Detect Sprinas They Can't See.

The French possess a curious tnsti-
tuition In the form Of an institute Of
geological psychology, establishing on a
farm near Paris This station COM
prises meadows. and barnyards, n
stretch Of forest and large pond
stocked with fish. Then. too, there are
spacious buildings, including modern
stables. q riding school, stalls for iso-
lating animals under. special observa-
ton, an aquarium and a laboratory.
A devecote is placed upon the roof Of
the main building. ~
1t is reported by scientist that an
important conclusion reached by the
students is that some animals possess
special sense whereby they can detect
the presence Of water even though they
can not see it. The experiments were
undertaken at the suggestion Of an
Australian. who addressed the institu-
ton with reference to his experiences
with sheep and cattle when being
driven across country.
In place where the presence Of
water was wholly unexpected the Aus
tralian noted some curious facts. The
leading animals suddenly would lift
their heads and draw long breaths.
Then they would abandon the beaten
tracks and start running thru the
brush. Sometimes they would run for
a mile and q half to two miles, and
could not be stopped by the drivers in
variably leading to pond or springs
hitherto unknown.-NewY York Press.
