millions Of the late Eugene Zimmerman.
railroad maguate. will fall into the hands
of his son-in-Iaw. the Duke of ManChes-
ter, If the provisions Of the finanCier $
will are carried out. This became known
today when counsel for the Duchess of
Manchester and the Zimmerman estate
admitted that when the will is filed next
week the duke will be out in the cold.
Hard upon this revelation comes cOrrobO-
ration of reports in circulation that the
duke and duchess have been estranged
for some time In fact, the duchess, the
daughter of Col. Zimmerman, was de-
clared to have been considering a divorce
suit at the time of her fathers death,
when she hastCned from London TO Gin
cinnati to attend the funeral.
The esCapades OF the duke, it is said
here, had become so Objectionable to the
duchess that they have been living apart
for some time. Nothing has been heard
from the duke since the death Of his
December 90 At that time
1t was reported that he had gone to the
front in Belgium. A short time before his
death Col Zimmerman delivered his
widely quoted epigra mmatical utterance:
Il have advised the Duke of Manches-
ter to go to the front and get out in the
front"

KEITH PLANS CHAIN OF
HIPPODROME THEATERS
Ground Already Leased for Two.
Will Have Seating Capacity
of 5000 Each.

New York. Jan. s.-A. Paul Keith has
set in motion plans for a chain of thea
ters Of Hippodrome type and capacity.
extending throughout the country. Ground
has been leased for theaters in Boston
and Providence and these two houses
will be the first OF the new chain, which
may extend clear to the Pacific Coast
Three more may be begun during the
coming year.
These theaters will be OF uniform type
and design, so far as possible. and will
seat 1900 persons each. The stage in
each house will be of sufficient size to
accommodate the largest production pos
sible in New York City, but for the
present Mr.. Keiths plans are to pre-
sent vaudeville at popular prices.
This announcement marks the deter
mination of Paul Keith to keep his
fathers name prominently before the
public as an amusement man. The courts
few days ago handed him full control
OF the estate left by B. F. Keith and he
and his partner L. F. AIbee decided that
this would be a fitting time to begin
the new chain of theaters.

suggested that whatever We did not need
should be turned over to the Bavaria1
Red Cross, which quite met with our own
idea.
Some of our nurses move in court cir
cles, and before evening the Queen had
heard of our gift. She expressed the wish
to see It. We arranged a private exhi-
bition. and she was delighted with every
thing she saw and expressed her graft
tude to the American Red Cross over and
over again.
The Queen told me OF the great lack
OF cotton and bandaging material, which
is felt especially in the military hospitals
Of the two fronts. Therefore she decided
to divide It evenly and have It sent
where 1t Is most needed. In the local
hospitals they are using sterilized gauze
bags filled with sawdust, moss or lint
instead OF absorbent cotton.
This afternoon the Queen sent several
ladies to help US pack these boxes for
shipment. The elderly Princess Wrede,
Princess Solms-Solms, who has just re-
turned from the front as a Red Cross
nurse, the Countesses Tattenbach and
Moy aided US and we were assisted by
our own helpers, Miss Pattee and Baronin
Hammerstein.

JAP PANESE Will
GUARD ISLANDS
Shuster Says Eastern Mon
roe Doctrine" Will Protect
Philippines from Foe.
FAVORS INDEPENDENCE
Declares Orientals Could Overrun
Islands Within Two Weeks.
Ownership Unfortunate.

Japan has a Monroe doctrine in the
East which would prevent any other
nation from ever taking the Philippines
in the event of this country giving the
islands their independence, w. Morgan
Shuster, former Minister to Persia,
told the Senate Philippine Committee yes
terday afternoon.
Shuster urged that the bill promising
the FflipinOs eventual independence be
PASSED, asserting it to be a moral duty.
Asked about the danger OF the Islands
getting into foreign complications II given
their independence, Shuster declared
Japan did not want the islands for
climatic and economic reasons, but she
would permit no other nation to lake
Them
why not?' asked Senator Weeks.
Because Japan has a Monroe doctrine
Of the East said Shuster. She would
not permit them to be taken by any for
eign power for the came reason that we
would not permit the taking OF Mexico by
any foreign nation. 1t would be too close
for comfort"
should Guarantee Independence.
Shuster said the islands should not be
given up without a treaty guaranteeing
their future independence. He said he
did not think this was imperatively nee
essary, but that it would be a safeguard
in the event OF any change in the attitude
of Japan in the future.
The frank statement that il the is
landers at the end of ten years should
wish this government to carry out the
promise proposed in the bill, and give
them their independence. despite the
fact that it might be known in this
country that they would align with
Japan, rather surprised the committee.
Would you favor giving them the
right to go to Japan, despite the fact
that We might be on the verge of hos
tilities with Japan at that time?"
asked Senator Lippitt.
why. il would be a Godsend to
have them go to Japan il we were
about to enter a war with Japan" said
Shuster. We could not possibly de-
fend them. l believe the army board
would concede that with the exception
Of two or three forts. which we might
hold for six months. the japanese
could overruu the Islands in two weeks.
However. l think it would make for
world peace for the United States to
own no territory in the Philippines"

be disposed of by US upon an amendment
to an appropriation bill.
| But passing all that, Mr. President, I
would rather pay four times the amount
! Of cash and have a voice in governing
myself than pay what the people of the
\ city of Washington have to pay and have
no voice at all
THE people of Washington and theG
property are helpless in our hands. They
have no voice about it, and that must be
so, because we. and not they, must be
sovereign in the city of Washington
The only way they can protest is through
newspapers. The things that are to be
done with their money may be the things
they most oppose. but they are helpless.
People Need Protection.
Now. sir, under those circumstances,
after long history of most distressful
controversy. after a futile attempt to
give them some opportunities to take
charge of their own affairs, after many
years during which they were bitter over
what they deemed to be injustice, after
they had been for long years subject
to tue eXaCtiOns of people TO whom they
could say nothing, an arrangement was
reached, after long discussion and con-
sideratiOn, which by its operation would
accomplish two things: One, to give TO
the people who are here, and the people
who might come In the future, some
guarantee of certainty, of continuous
policy, and Of protection against inposi-
tions upon their property and expendi-
ture Of money taken from them by taxa
ton.
The other thing accomplished was
that upon all expenditures in the Dis
trict there should be the protection Of
responsibility by the members OF the
two Houses. Although there is no
responsibility to the property owner
of Washington. this arrangement tied
to every dollar to be eXacted from
them-a dollar to be taken from the
constituents OF the men who voted
the money.
Against Arbitrary Rule.
''Thirty-seven years ago that ar
was made, and under il the
people Of the District of COlumbi
have had the protection of fixed and
settled laws. They have had the pro-
lection that no property could be
taken from them for public use with
out the taking OF an equal amount
from the constituents OF the men who
made the exaction. They have been
treated with justice and they have re-
posed upon the security of that funda
mental arrangement.
Now. sir, IL taxes are too low let US
revise them and make them higher. but
do not let US take away from these wards
of the nation, helpless and unrepresented,
the protection OF the time-honored fun
damental agreement between overwhelm-
ing power and the helplessness Of citi-
zen without a vote.
''I stand. sir. for the old hah-and-half
which Is the sole protection
OF the people of Washington against our
arbitrary rule"
II Is probable a vote on the Johnson
rider will be taken shortly after the Sen
ate convenes Monday. The day session
will be given over to euIogies of the late !
Senator johnson.

d double-header with the Reds Wednes-

After winning the opening combat at II
to D. the Gothamites shriveled up before
the steady hurting of Fred Toney in the
second game and were shut out
n the second game a peculiar play
came up which led to the Punishment Of
Arthur Fletcher. Fletcher was safe at
first on an error. Then Grant lined one TO
Herzog. On the throw to first to complete
a double play the ball hit Fletcher. The
Reds claimed interference on the part Of
Fletcher. O'Day would not allow this
claim Toney was prepared to pitch to
the next batter. when Groh yelled at him
to throw the ball to Mollwitz.
This Toney did. and Fletcher was de-
clared out 1t turned out that Fletcher
did not touch first base before making his
dash for second after Herzog's toss hit
him. Fletcher argued with >O'Day and
was banished. Herzog and McGraw then
got into a verbal battle which came near
leading to something serious.
McGraw darted out from the bench, but
turned back after Umpire Quigley eau
toned him. Herzog then called McGraw
a gutter and kept this up during the
game. but was not banished.
