ia ALONE AT LAST

r Il. SOTHERN dlscloses the
rather astonishing fact that
~ the version Of Lord Dun
dreary,'' which he is presenting at
the Booth Theatre. is not the orig
inal version az elaborated by his
father, the late F.. A.. Sothern. MIR.
sothern claims that he has twenty-five
versions Of Lord Dundrcary'' from
the pen of his father. The cause of
these various versions was the lack in
1855 Of an adequate copyright law.
The result was that anybody who
wished TO play "Dundreary' need only
attend a performance and take the
play down in shorthand. In conse-
Quence "Dundreary" was being pre-
sented by stock companies all over the
country. The elder Scthern found i,
necessary to write n or two versions
a year. so that when he travelled about
t~heatregoers would be presented to a
new play. not n that they had al
ready seen. The characters alone were
preserved.
In the original version Of the play
there were three acts and eleven
scenes, while the version now used
BY Mr.. Sothern is in four acts. An
elimination Of the text Of the original
version discloses the fact 'that none Of
the wheezes and riddles in the present
version are TO be found in the original.
One Of the most amusing OF the Dun
drearyisms in the original version was
as follows:
Mrs. M0untchessingt0n Thanks to
the draught YOU were kind enough to
prescribe for her, Lord Dundreary.

On account of vigorous protests made
by the people living near the fair
grounds, the postoffice department held
up the removal of the sub.station TO
the Crown Drug store. This does not
indicate that eventually sub-station
will not be established in the business
sction of the city, as the letter from
the postoffice department to Postmast
er Huckestein merely stated that the
removal of the sub.station had been
held up, awaiting a more complete re-
port as TO the advantages Of station
in the business district.
The sub.station near the fair grounds
was originally established when they
had no service. Now that this section
of the city has n service of twice day
it is of more general benefit to the city
according TO the postmaster, to have
the station located in the business dis

ANNUAL WAR BUDGET TO

Plans to Expend $5OO,OOO,-

Washington, Oct. 49, The Pacific
coast, within two years, will be guard.
cd by the largest fleet in its history,
under plans of Secretary of the Navy
Daniels, it was learned today. Con-
tinued operation Of the Panama canal
is the principal factor in his proposals
for the Pacific fleet, and the Atlantic
fleet win frequently cruise to Pacific
waters. When drydocking and repair
facilities have been permanently en-
larged on the west coast, Daniels pro-
poses to divide the fighting forces and
keep strong fleet in the west
His plans for coast defenses include
tho strengthening Of protection for
San Francisco and other large cities.
Increase Is Big.
Under the administration defense
program, the annual "'warN budget
will be from $360,0000O0 to 100000
900, This represents an annual in
crease Of from $l45,000,000 to $l75,-
100000 The differing number Of new
dreadnaughts each year will cause this
fluctuation.
Officials are now discussing whether
permanent change in revenues will be
necessary to meet the enormous ex-
pendituros proposed.
President Wilson Is expected not
only to outline the defense program
when he speaks in New York Novom-
ber 4, but also to suggest the question
Of raising revenue.

for $lS4,000,000 The present years

The navy budget annually for the
next six years Is expected to range
from s205,OOO,0OO to $225,0O0, 900.
Permanent upkeep of the proposed in

mean Il tremendous increase In the an.
