Charles Klein, the famous English

full in the United States as in London,
was on on the Lusitania on her fatal
trip. He took passage hurriedly when
he learned that Charles Frohman, the
theatrical producer, and Justus Miles
Forman. were going baroad.
II is said that Mr. Klein had inten-
tions of preparing a play for the au.
tumn opening in New York He was
born in London and had done much
of his playwriting in England. Re-
Gently he has lived most of the time
in that country, and it was said al
Mr.. Frohman's office that there was
no particular significance in a trip
abroad at this time.
His first play, "A Mile a Minute. >
was produced in 1890, and was fol-
lower two years later by by Proxy.
In 1893 "A Paltry Million" was pro.
duced, and then two years later came
The District Attorney" which was
followed by DIR. Belgraff" and
"Heartsease." both of which were pro.
duced in 1895. The latter play wa.
written in collaboration with j. J. {
Clarke. Mr.. Klein then spent tive
years working on his next play, "Th,

The women cried Death to Francis Joseph! Down with Austrfa!' burned the Austrian flag to- gether with a portrait of the emperor and attempted to attack the palace.
 The governor ordered gendarmes to Charge the crowd and the women re- tired fighting stubbornly. Lampposts were torn up and. the signs of tobac- conists, which bear the Austrian coat of arms because their business is government monopoly, were de- stroyed.
 The Idea NazionaIe states that AZ women were killed and over 300 i11- jured.
