Ancient Stage to Be Used.

A more than usually interesting dra-
matte revival is announced for April
10. when the "Agamemnon' of Aes-
chylus will be performed in the an
cient Greek theater of Syracuse.
Nearly "a centuries base passed
since Hero embellished his city with
the theater which tradition attributes
to the architect Democopor Myrilla.
Aeschylus must have taken refuge
in the court of Hero very soon after
its completion. and it may be c~onjec-
tured that the great trilogy, which be
gan with the "Agamemnon," was
often performed on it's stage; 1t is
known that the "Persae" was per
formed there and a work written for
Hero by Aeschylus, entitled the EFT
neae," Of which no trace remains

Tryon Durham stepped out in time to
see the two men snatch Mary's hands
again and attempt to bind them behind
her back.
In an instant he had seized Richard
by the collar and landed him on the
hall carpet, while a well directed blow
sent the fabby Irishman sprawling at
the feet OF the detective, who prompt
ly sat on him and pinioned his arms
behind him.
How dare you lay a finger upon this
LADY," said Tryon Durham, as he
| stepped to the side Of his wife and put
a strong arm about her, where she
| stood white and frightened In the
doorway.
No one had noticed the bell boy had
come to the head of the stairs and re-
ceived a quiet order from the deteo-
tive.
In sudden fear, the discounted Rich
ard arose and attempted to bluf the
stranger who had so unwarrantly In
terfered just as his fingers were about
to close over the golden treasure of his
cousins fortune.

For an instant 1t seemed to Mary

Her eyes shone brightly and her

from its tissue paper wrappings a
long, rich coat Of Alaska seal, with
exquisite brocade lining. She put 1t

who had for a time lost her identity,
and has suddenly had it restored. Such
garments had been ordinary comforts
pf her former life. She had not been
warm enough in the coarse black

You say that a man who occupies

sSHINGTDN, May 23.-Sensa-
tional stories of the impending col
lapse of the Hl1srta administration in
Mexico City with an accompaniment
OF bloodshed through an uprising
against the dictator continue to cir
culate here. No official information is
obtainable by the direct route, for
the lid has been clamped on. If the
state department has confirmatory in
formation that fact is known to Sec
re'arv Bryan alone. Despite his char
acteristic loquacity along other lines,
he Is quiet on Mexico matters.
The news of the safety of Consul
John Silliman, of Saltillo, has greatly
cleared the atmosphere here. But
coupled with the relief are reports
OF outrages in connection with the
original arrest that caused the dis
patch of the fleet.
1t has been determined that no rep
resentations on this subject will be
made at this time. In the yernacular

tary left yesterday afternoon for a
brief vacation He has been working
farinto the night for weeks past His
days have been absorbingly busy and
the strain of the heavy. steady work
was beginning to tell upon him. He
announced his intention to break in
on this mental and physical drain on
him by taking a weekend vacation
from now on.
The President noticed that his
faithful secretary of war was begin
ming to show the effects of the hard
work his office has demanded of him
during the last four months, and he
urged upon him to go away for a rest.
1t is said that the secretary remarked
when the President urged him to rest
up:
Mr.. President you are a good
physician in this, but / do not notice
that you are taking any of this kind
of medicine yourself
The secretary of war decided to
take the Presidents advice, and will
continue to take weekend trips out

Verdict Is Just, Says Widow
of Murdered Gambler ROsenthaI

NEW YORK, May 23.-Mrs. Her
man Rosenthal, widow of the MUIR
dered gambler, said last night in her
home, 1918 East 163d street. that the
verdict was a just one and was just
what she had expected.
"It takes a great load from my
mind" she said "and l am glad the
ordeal is over. The verdict lightens
my heart. My sympathies just now
are with Mrs. Becker. / really feel
sorry for her, and l admire her for
her bravery and for her loyalty to
her husband. She must feel as / felt
at the time of my bereavement.
Il am very grateful to our district
attorney for the way he has acted
toward me. and Justice Seabury was
very kind to me when ] was on the
stand. Everybody has been good to
me except Mr.. Manton, counsel for
Becker.
"Mr Manton, l thought, asked an
unnecessary question when l was on
the stand, when he asked if l still
wore mourning although my husband
had been dead for two years. If Her
man had been dead for forty years
could not go back to colors again.

Friday Figures as an
Unlucky Day for Becker

NEW YORK. May 2s.-Charles
Becker had pust one hope yesterday
when the jury left the court room at
1850 to weigh his life and death on
the scales that had been provided for
them by judge, prosecution and de-
fense. That hope was that the jury
would be unable to agree within elev-
en- hours and ten minutes.
By that time it would be Saturday
and his unlucky day would be gone
for six days. While his apparent in
difference, born of an iron will and
nerve has excited the. wonder of al
and the admiration of some, the for
mer police ezar has concealed from
the world his superstition-that Fri
day was not his day. This became
known when Sheriff Grifenhageu
brought him back TO the Tombs for his
new trial.
Sheriff" Becker had said to him
I'm glad you did not call for me or
a Friday"
The origin of this superstition is
not known, but it is on record thai
his early conviction occurred in the
early minutes of Friday, October IS
1913. He will be sentenced to death
Friday.

CANAL COMMISSION
/. TO CONTINUE WORK

Although the Morris canal investi-
eating committee has submitted it's
report and the canal abandonment
bills it prepared were reported ad-
versely in the last Legislature, the
committee yesterday decided to con-
tinue in existence for another year
until the canal bills may be acted
upon by the Legislature of 1915. This
action was taken at a meeting of the
committee in the office of Fred G.
Stickel, jr., secretary, in the Pruden-
tial building
Assem- blyman Carlton Godfrey, of
Atlantic City, chairman of the COM
mittee, explained the course of the
committees bills in the last Legisla-
ture, and advised that the committee
be continued for another year with
an appropriation sufficient for it's
needs. This action was taken.
C. Howard Slater, of Jersey City. in
formed the committee that the New
Jersey Chamber of Commerce, the
Jersey City Board of Trade and the
Rivers and Harbors Commission had
arranged to discuss the report of the
canal investigating committee with
the members of the committee at any
time the committee found it conve-
nient. Members of the committee ap-
proved of the plan for this discussion
and recommended that similar discus
sions be arranged with public bodies
and individuals. 1t was agreed that
the members of the committee discuss
the canal question in public whenever
an opportunity is afforded as the sec
retary has been doing throughout the
State in the last year.
Adjournment was taken until such
a time as the committee would meet to
discuss its work with public bodies
which may care to hear it.

Young Student Charged
With Shooting Mrs. Flavelle
Arrested and COnfesses

ROME, May 23.-Charged with at
tacking aged Mrs. Mary E. Flavelle,
of Chicago, who was found shot two
days ago in railroad train, Pietro
Rossi, a student in the Institute of So
cial Science at Florence, was arrested
there today. Rossi has confessed, ac-
cording to the police.
He said: II am student at the
Social Science Institute here and am
twenty-four years old. / had gambled
away almost all the money ] pos
sessed and had started on my way
home to Monte Pulciana in order to
inform my family of my predicament.
On the train, however, 1 saw an old
lady who apparently had one foot in
the grave and to whom wealth could
not mean much.
"The sight of the well-dreSsed wom-
an tempted me and / attacked her.
I would not have tried to kill her if
she had not screamed when I grasped
her valise. l then lost my reason and
fired"
The accused is kept under close
watch.
The condition of Mrs. Flavelle is i'm
proved today and the doctor stated
that she would probably survive If
her constitution was strong enough
to enable her to recuperate from the
great loss of blood caused by the
wound.
